"You`re doing good, one more push!"
"There you go!"
"I see a head!"
"Congratulation's it's a healthy little girl!"
The doctor wipes the baby off and places the baby on Devin`s chest.
"She`s beautiful." Devin says looking at her newest addition.
Joe pushes the hair out of her face and kisses her on her forehead and says.
"We did a good job."
"Thank you for having Jenn for this semester, I know you have your hands full with your herd, I just couldn't think of anyone better who would take her while I went through this." Rebecca said.
"No problem sis, I already have four- five if you count Joe, what's one more." Devin says.
"How's Joanna?"
"She's good, she's actually walking now." Devin says.
"Aww how cute."
"I know right, she actually started walking like three months ago."
"You know what they say?"
"What?" Devin asked.
"If your child starts doing things early they`re moving out of the way for another one."
"Shut up!"
Rebecca laughs and says. "How's Joseph doing I know he was sick."
"He's actually doing better now, it was just a little fever."
"That's good how's Joelle and Joelynn?"
"Besides the continent attitude and nobody has time for me they're fine."
"Mmm sounds fun, well I`ll talk to you later." Rebecca says.

"Dev!" Rachel said walking into the kitchen.
"Oh my gosh you're so big!" Devin said touching her friends stomach.
"I know!"
"You guys didn't waste any time did you?" Devin said.
"Nope- where's Joe?" Rachel asked.
"He's upstairs taking a nap, I think."
"Why isn't he on the road?"
"That's something you'll have to ask him." Devin said turning around.
"Devin!" Rocky yelled coming into the kitchen.
"How are you guys getting into my house?"
"Our keys?" Rocky said waving them in her hand.
"Yeah not the best idea, you know I was under a lot of medication when I thought that was a good idea." Devin said.
"I'm sure."
"Oh Devin do you think you can make the rehearsal dinner?" Rocky asked.
Rocky and Johnathon were now getting married.
"Sure, when is it?"
"In a couple of months."
"Sure."
Looking up and seeing her husband walking into the kitchen Devin says.
"Good morning sleepy head."
"Where`s the kids?" Joe asked with a tired look on his face.
"The girls are upstairs in Lynn's room, Joanna and Joseph are sleep."
"Hey Joe why aren't you on the road?" Rachel asked.
"Because my wife just had a baby."
"She had the baby eleven months ago."
"So." Joe said.
"He got suspended." Rocky said.
Joe's head snapped to Rocky.
"Johnathon told me."
"What happened?"
"He got in a disagreement with one of the new talents." Devin said.
"Disagreement- they were fighting."
"Like a real life brawl."
"Thank you Raquel." Joe said.
"Well if yal would have told me instead of being all secretive none of this would have happened." Rachel said.
"Rachel you're getting bigger every day!" Rocky said switching the conversation.
"I know Dev was just saying that." Rachel said.
"Hey are you guys having any more kids?" Rachel asked.
"NO." Joe and Devin said together.
"Well dang that didn't take any thought." Rocky said.
"It's just i had alot of anxiety while i was pregnant with her and then there was all that stuff that was going on around that time, i can't put my self or Joe through that again."
"That and I got my tubs tide after the Joanna." Devin continued.
"Well that would defiantly keep you from having another one." Rachel says.
"Well that's good, not that you were having anxiety part but the fact that you're not having anymore lids."
Putting her hand on her hip Devin asked.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"You've been pregnant for the past three years, i was starting to wonder if you two were aware of this thing called birth control."
"You're just mad because no one wants to impregnate you."
"Yeah that's it." Rocky say sarcastically
" Any ways- do you want any more after this one Rach?" Devin asked.
"Probably one more."
"What about you kel?"
"Tee-Tee can I have a snack?" Jenn asked.
"Sure."
"So Rach, are you having any weird cravings?" Joe asked.
"Not really."
"Mmm, with this last pregnancy Devin craved mayonnaise."
"That`s not that weird." Rocky says,
"Just mayonnaise."
"That`s disgusting."
"Do you know Jenn is trying to eat strawberrys?" Rachel asked with her eyes on her best friend's niece.
"JENNIFER!" Devin yells causing Jenn to jump.
"Come here." Joe says.
Moving a few inches Jenn stops walking.
"Come here." Joe repeated.
Jen doesn't move.
"You see there is there here is here, come here."
Walking closer to him Jenn says.
"Yes."
"Why do you do that?"
Jenn shrugs.
"You know why."
"I just want one."
"But Jennifer you know you`re allergic to fruit, and if you eat it your throat gonna close."
"I know."
"And you want it any ways?" Joe asked.
Jenn nods her head.
"Go put it back and get something else."
Jenn turns around and goes to pick out another snack and then made her way back to her cousin's room.
Just then the doorbell rang.
"I`ll get it." Devin said.
.
.
"Yes."
"Does a Leati Anoa`i live here?"
"I have to see, who are you?" Devin asked.
"I`m Jazmine- his daughter."
Devin's heart dropped.
"Joe!" Devin yelled not taking her eyes off of Jazmine.
"Yes hun."
"This girl says she's your daughter."
"My what?"
"I`m your daughter." Jazmine said.
"I`m sorry I only have three daughters and they're all upstairs- good bye." Joe said closing the door.
"Jazmine Layfield is my mom." Jazmine said before he closed the door.
"What did you say?" Joe said snatching the door open.
"Jazmine Layfield is my mother."
"Do you know a Jazmine Layfield?" Devin asked.
"I use to- but she couldn't have been pregnant."
"Well obviously she was."
"What did you say your name was?" Devin asked.
"Jazmine- Jazmine Anoa`i."
"You were named after your mom?" Devin asked titling her head.
"Yes I was named after my mom who was named after…"
"The princess off of Aladdin." Joe said.
"Yeah you remembered."
"uh huh."
"Mom said she use to tell you that story all the time."
"You look exactly like your mother did when she was your age." Joe says.
"Thanks, I get that a lot."
"Where's your mom now?" Devin asked.
"She left."
"Left where?" Rocky asked.
Jazmine shrugged and said. "To visit my grandma in new Hampton I think."
"And she just left you?" Devin asked.
Jazmine nods her head.
"How did you find us?" Joe asked.
"I remembered my mom told me about you and I looked you up in the phone book."
"Wait how old are you?" Rocky asked.
"16."
"I`ll be back." Joe said closing the door.
"What do we do?" Joe asked.
"Well we can't just leave her out there." Devin said.
"Why not her mom did." Rocky said.
"Raquel!"
"I`m just saying we don't really know if she's really his daughter, she could be some stalker fan." Rocky said
"Exactly." Joe said
"I don't know if there's even a possibility that I`m her father." Joe continued.
"Did you sleep with her?" Devin asked.
"Huh?"
"Its not a trick question, did you sleep with her?"
"Yes."
"Did you use protection, was she on birth control?"
"I don't remember, it was so long ago- but I highly doubt it, I was in high school."
"You had unprotected sex with her so there is a possibility you`re her dad." Devin said.
"That doesn't necessarily make him her dad, if she was pregnant he would have noticed, don't you think being that he had to see her every day in high school." Rocky said.
"She moved with her grandma's after we broke up, she didn't take our break up to well."
"I still stand by what I say, you don't know if she is his kid or some crazy fan."
"But she knew about Jazmine Layfield." Devin said.
"Devin don't be so stupid, anyone with a yearbook would know Jazmine Layfield." Rocky said.
"But who would go that far?"
"So what are you suggesting Devin?" Joe asked.
"I`m not saying she stay here- we can't let no random girl we know nothing about just stay here with our kids."
"So what are we going to do?"
"Put her in a hotel." Rocky suggested.
Joe sighs and says.
"I'll be back." and walks away.
.
.
"Sorry we had you waiting for so long." Devin said opening the door.
"Its okay, can I come in?"
"Uh- sure." Devin said stepping to the side.
"Joe`s on the phone right now he'll be back soon." Devin said as they sat on the couch.
"Okay." Jazmine said looking around.
"So were you born here in Pensacola?" Rachel asked.
"No I was born Miami."
"Florida?"
"Yeah."
"So was I." Rocky said.
"That's cool." Jazmine said as the conversation died down.
"So I think someone mention dad having other kids." Jazmine says picking up the conversation.
"Yeah four 11, 6, 2, and eleven months." Devin said.
"How old are you, you don't look old enough to have an eleven-year-old."
"Thirty and she's from Joe's first marriage, but I've raised her like she was mines since she was seven."
"How nice of you." Jazmine said.
"Okay so- oh you let her in." Joe said.
"Yeah it was hot out there."
"So I called all the nearest hotels and there booked for a week- so I looks like you're staying here until next week or until your mom comes back whichever is quicker." Joe said.
"You were going to make me stay in a hotel?" Jazmine asked with the saddest look.
"I`m sorry, its nothing personal it's just I have kids upstairs that I have to protect and I don't know anything about you, had it just been me that be different but it's not soo…"
"I get it."
"And I`m going to need a paternity test."
"What?!" Jazmine asked.
"What you expected to just come up in here and say you're his daughter and he`d be like okay without any actual proof?" Rocky asked.
"ROCKY!" Devin called.
"What?"
"No I get it." Jazmine says.
"So where am I sleeping?"
"In the back house." Rocky says.
"In the what?" Jazmine asked.
"It`s really nice, it has everything but a kitchen in there." Rachel explains.
"So who's hungry?" Devin asked slapping her hands on her lap.
"I am!" Jazmine said.
"So am I." Rachel said.
.
.
While everyone was sitting around the table eating lunch and enjoying each other's company Devin struggled to try to feed Joanna and to get Joseph to eat his food.
Devin sighs.
"Do you need some help?" Jazmine asked as she watched her struggle.
"No it's okay, I got her and Joseph can eat by his self." Devin said with a look of frustration.
Joseph throws his food on the ground and folds his arms.
"Joseph stop it!" Devin said turning around and picking up his food and plate and giving him more.
"I`ll take Joanna." Joe said pulling her high chair closer to him.
"Thank you." Devin says letting out a harsh sigh.
Jazmine just stares at Devin, as Joseph throws his food down again.
"JOSEPH YOU DO THAT AGAIN AND I`M NOT GIVING YOU ANY MORE!" Devin yelled.
He throws his food again.
"Do you want a spanking?" Devin asked him
"NO!" Joseph said pushing his food over again.
"Alright it's time for a nap."
"NO!"
"You don't have a choice." Devin said taking him out of his high chair.
"So." Jazmine said.
"Who is she?" Joelynn said pointing.
"It's not nice to point Lynn." Rachel said to her god daughter.
"Sorry."
"She's um- she…" Joe said trying to think what to call her.
"I`m your sister." Jazmine said.
"I have another big sister COOL!" Joelynn said.
"Well…" Joe began to say.
"Can I show you my room?!"
"I would love to see your room." Jazmine said.
"I always wanted an older sister." JoJo said.
"Joelle she's not your…" Joe began to say
Jazmine looks up at Joe.
"Never mind." Joe said sighing.
"Can I call you dad?" Jazmine asked.
"Umm."
"Of course you can, he's your dad duuuh!" Jenn said.
"Actually Jazmine I think we should hold off on you calling me dad, at least until…"
"Until what?" Jazmine asked.
"Until the paternity test comes back." Rocky said.
"Thank you Rocky."
"Anytime."
"Well I hate to eat and leave, but I kind of don't." Rachel said scooting back.
"Well looks like I have to go too she's my ride." Rocky said.
"Can I show her my room now?" Joelynn asked.
"You have to finish your lunch first." Joe says.
Joelynn stuffs her sandwich in her mouth
"Can I go now?" Joelynn asked with her food in her mouth.
"Sure, just don't choke."
.
.
"Where did everyone go?" Devin asked walking back into the kitchen.
"Rocky and Rachel had to leave and the girls are upstairs showing Jazmine their rooms." Joe said.
Sitting down at the table Devin lifts her drink and says.
"Well here's to having a normal life."
Joe chuckles and lifts his drink up and then brings it to his lips
