First LWD story and im new to fan fiction. Don't really have a permanent title yet so it could change.

Disclaimer: I do not own Life with Derek or any of its characters, if only if only. . .

Chapter 1: The idea

A moving truck and a silver van pulled into the driveway across the street as Nora looked through the front window curious about their new neighbors, or soon to be . . . Soon a little girl and her mother got out of the van and the father got out on the other side before opening the back door and pulling out a baby blue car seat veiled with a white fleece blanket. At the sight of the baby carriage she stopped focusing on the rest of the scene. A baby, it reminded her of a discussion she and George had had just a few weeks before. He had mentioned the possibility of them having a child together to kind of solidify and bring closer their newly blended family. She had originally dismissed the idea from her mind thinking that a thirty eight she was much too old to start the whole parenting process over, and besides they had all the children they could handle with the five already living their tiny home. Space was another problem with the idea of having a baby. They were practically bursting at the seams in this house as it was. Adding another person to the equation was not the best idea. George had been slightly disappointed at her less than ecstatic response to his proposition, but he continued to subtly bring it up in conversations and now seeing this happy little family and that car seat made her kind of warm up to the idea. George was a great father, maybe not so much with Derek at times but other than that . . . and she didn't have any boys of her own, although she was fully aware that if they did have a baby there was no guarantee it would be a boy. Even so a little girl would be nice too and she and George could have something that represented their love for one another.

At that moment she decided that if George brought it up again she would agree and they would start planning to have a child of their own. She briefly thought of how this might affect all the other people living in the house and how they would definitely have to find a place with more room once she got pregnant, if she got pregnant that is.

Fertility issues hadn't originally come to mind but now she pondered the issue. She didn't know whether or not she was capable of getting pregnant anymore because she hadn't tried since Lizzie. She had stayed on the pill since that time and while she assumed that they wouldn't have any major issues with that, the fear loomed in the back of her head.

Nora started planning immediately by throwing away her birth control pills knowing it might take a little while for her system to adjust and "cleanse" itself. She was completely convinced now that having a baby would be wonderful and a kind of adventure for her and George and she couldn't wait for George to hint to her again so she could surprise him with her liking the idea…

Okay so I just kinda wrote this I don't know if it's very good so please review and I will continue if people like it, again I am kind of new to fan fiction, this is only my second story so go easy please.
