It was a typical day in LazyTown. It was nearing the beginning of the school year. Loquia was excited about her second year in school. All the kids were. Stephanie and Pixel had grown very close and had started officially dating. Stingy and Trixie had grown into a sort of odd couple friendship and Ziggy and Loquia were, at times, joined at the hip. The kids didn't spend as much time together as they used to. To Elena, it looked like they were growing apart but Bessie explained they were just growing up.

As the school year grew near everyone was buying school supplies and clothes for the new year and Loquia was growing out of the clothes she already had and needed new ones, for sure.

Sportacus was his usual bundle of energy flipping through the town. He headed towards the tree house. He promised Loquia he would stop by to see her at her request.

As he was hand springing through town he caught sight of the kitten hanging four feet up on the bark of the tree. He looked and chuckled and shook his head and ran over to the tree. When he got there the kitten turned its head, looked at Sportacus and let out a meek "mew". He picked the kitten up and held it nose to nose. "What is it about this tree that you like so much?" The kitten licked his nose. He giggled and set it down watching it scamper off then headed back in the direction of the treehouse.

Elena was taking in the scents of the trees and flowers as she pushed the stroller through the town. She stopped at one of the benches and sat down. She took her gurgling baby out of the stroller and began breast feeding her. She looked at the child she helped make. The child that was inside her that she, Sportacus and with Robbie's help, brought into this world. She smiled warm heartedly as she provided nourishment enjoying all of motherhood. When the baby was done feeding, Elena kissed her cheek then held her, facing her, on her lap.

"Did you know today you are nine months? It's your nine month birthday. Yes it is. Say mama. Mama. Mmmmmmmma mm aaa." She waited but she just giggled. "Dada? Can you say daaa daaaa?" She watched her daughter. "Come on Krysta, say mama. Dada."

Then, as she balanced her standing, bouncing on her legs, in a voice that was very audible, out came, "DA!"

Elena's face lit up. "YES DADA! Say Dada!"

"Daaaaaaa! DAAAADADADADADADAAAAA!"

"Oh my! You have a very loud voice!" Her eyes got wide as she smiled with happiness.

"DADADADADADADADADAAAAA!"

"Wow!" She laughed. "Yes! Dada!" Krysta was waving her arms past Elena and her voice rang through the town. Elena turned and off in the distance she saw Sportacus running in the direction of the tree house. "Yes! That's Dada!" She said excitedly.

DADADADADADADADADADADAAAADADADADA"

Sportacus, running, flipping and springing through the town, heard something that made him stop and turn.

"DADADADADADAAAAAA!" His eyes widened and he changed his direction towards the sweet music. He flipped twisted and turned and found his wife and daughter in Lazy Park, Krysta shouting 'DADDADADDA' all the way until he got there. His face beamed hearing Krysta's first word.

"Wow! You have a set of lungs!" He laughed as Elena handed Krysta to him.

"DADADADADADADADADADADAAAADADADADA!" Then she lifted up her shirt showing her belly.

"Oh, I know what you want." He chuckled giving her a raspberry on her tummy making her laugh. Elena smiled as Sportacus sat next to her bouncing Krysta up and down. "What about Mama?"

"I think she wants dada." She smiled.

"Oh, I know there's a mama in there." He said.

And no sooner had he said that- "MAMAMAMAMAMAMAMA!" Pure joy ran through Elana and she got teary. "Our baby girls first words."

"DADADADADADAAAAAA"

"And very loud ones too." He said laughing. They were both beaming. "I can only stay for a few minutes. Loquia wanted me to meet her at the treehouse."

"That reminds me, we have to to have to go school shopping for Lolo. We need to go soon. Can we go this weekend?"

He bounced a gigging Krysta on his lap and looked at Elena. "Yes, I think so. I can't believe it's been a year since we've had her. And nine months since this little angel was born."

"What a year it's been." She smiled. "Have you had any luck or ideas finding number nine?"

He stopped bouncing Krysta for a moment then started again and sighed. "No. But I'm not going to give up. I know I'm close to something but I just can't put my finger on it. As far as clothes, Bessie said there are good clothing stores in Big City, but I think we should see if Bessie or Stephanie can babysit Krysta. Big City is really big." He chuckled changing the subject.

"Great! We go this weekend before she grows another two sizes." Elena said, watching Sportacus holding the baby to his shoulder rubbing her back.

"Yes. It will be an adventure for sure. I've flown over Big City and there is a lot of traffic and people. I've never been there myself, but there is enough there to confuse any of us."

"Well, I think we will be ok." She kissed Sportacus. "I have looked at a few shops for kids with some great prices. And I'd like to stop at the Big City gallery and see my painting..." She looked at her husband and smiled.

He turned to her in surprise. "You mean it got in? Your lakeside sunset painting?"

"Yes!" She was very excited. "I was going to save it for a surprise but I just couldn't hold it in." Sportacus hugged her tight.

"That's wonderful! Congratulations, my love." He placed a kiss on her lips.

"Mm. I hope to get more of those today. I can never get enough."

"They are all saved for you. Now and forever." He smiled kissing her again. "I have to go see Loquia. She has something planned." Elena made a brief concerned look on her face. "What's wrong?"

"I just, I don't know, worry about Loquia. I know she can see fine but ever since we found out she was color blind...I just want so much for her."

"I know. We both do. And she no longer hides it. She did a good job hiding it, but she knows it's a part of who she is. Her white hair, white eyes and dark skin. It's all part of being a dark elf."

"She once told me she doesn't want to be a dark elf. She felt she was too different. I told her the same thing you did. But she said she wanted to be more like us. I told her we love her because she is ours and she is our special little girl."

"I wonder what brought that on? She knows she is a part of us." He said still rubbing the baby's back.

"I think she wants to be a part of us the same way Krysta is. We talked about it and I think she's ok with it. It was a while ago anyway, but I still worry." Elena smiled looking at Krysta, who was now sleeping on her daddy's shoulder. "Shh. She's asleep." Sportacus gently handed her back to Elena and gave Krysta a kiss on the forehead. They both smiled happily at the sleeping child. "I'm so happy Sportacus. Thank you for everything."

"It is I who should thank you."

"Tell you what. Let's call it a draw for now." She smiled kissing him again. "Now you go and see Lolo. I'm going to get this one off to bed, clean, do laundry and get dinner prepped."

Sportacus looked at her and just now realized Elena did a lot more than he realized. He helped around the house, but hearing her say all she needed to do today and she's done a lot more than he realized. "Tell you what. After I'm done with Loquia I will help you clean."

"But what if you need to do a rescue? I can-"

"Then I will go and rescue. But I can help you and anyone who needs me."

She smiled. "I love you. Now, give me a sport-a-kiss before you leave."

He smiled and complied with her request. "I love you too." He got up looked at her one last time and left for the tree house.

"Ok my precious baby girl. Let's get home. I have a feeling daddy may be surprised when he gets there." She kissed her forehead, put her back in the stroller and headed for home.

Sportacus headed for the tree house when he got there, no one was there outside. He looked up. "Loquia?" The door opened and a note dropped down on a string. He smiled and looked at it and read it. 'Password.' (Hint you marry her a lot.) he chucked and climbed up the ladder and knocked.

"Password?"

He smiled. "Mommy." The door opened and he climbed up. What he saw was so surprising. There was streamers from the top middle to the walls and balloons all around. He climbed in. "What's all this?"

"Shh, please. Come in and sit down please. And close the door."

He did as instructed. There was a box next to her decorated with a bow. He sat across from her.

"You have been called here in the highest honor. This is my special presentation to you." She reached in the box and pulled out a smaller box.

I present you with this for being the most bestest daddy in the whole wide world." She handed it to him.

His heart was so warmed. He opened the box and inside was a rainbow ribbon threaded through a round thick cardboard and colored in blue letters, outlined with black trim that said, 'the worlds most bestest daddy!' Sportacus's eyes got misty. He just stared at it smiling. "It's the most beautiful gift I've ever received." He pulled her in and hugged her tight. She kissed his cheek.

"I love you, daddy."

"I love you too, sweetheart." He held her for a few more moments then he put the medal on.

"Now, next we have to celebrate." She pulled out two cupcakes and said in a matter of fact tone, "Now, you don't have to worry. These are mommy's sports candy cupcakes."

He chuckled. "You know mommy was looking for these."

"I know. I told her I needed them for something special." She said innocently as she took a bite.

Sportacus smiled as he ate with her. Then with a chocolate smile she spoke once more. "Now, the only thing you have to do is to keep being the bestest daddy."

"I will do my best." He chuckled.

She handed him a napkin. "Your mother and I are going to take you to Big City this weekend. We're going to buy you new clothes and school supplies."

"Big City?" She looked a bit nervous.

"What's wrong?"

"Well, Stephanie told me when she went there and how big it was. All the big buildings and a lot of people."

"Well, don't worry. I will be right there with you and mommy." He gave her a reassuring smile. She looked at him and hugged him again.

"Thank you, daddy."

"Hey Loquia! Are you done yet, huh?" Ziggy hollered from below.

She looked at Sportacus. "It's ok. You go play with Ziggy. I need to go help your mother anyway."

She smiled and opened the door and went down to play with Ziggy. He looked at the medal again, smiling then he got up and jumped out of the treehouse and headed for home.

Robbie was getting ready to take his mid morning nap when the door opened. Lily, his girlfriend, came in with bags of groceries and looked at Robbie, who was laying on the couch. She shook her head. "Honestly, Robbie. Why so you sleep so much?" Lily giggled heading into the kitchen

"Well, I'm tired." He simply replied. Lily rolled her eyes.

"Can't you...nap when I am not in your presence? We can spend more time together that way."

"I'm over here all the time. We spend a lot of time together."

"Well, I suppose, but you should get rest now because...you will need your energy in 7 months." She looked at him out of the corner of her eye to watch his reaction. So far he didn't catch on.

"Why? What happens in 7 months?" He folded his arms and closed his eyes.

"Well, we will be getting a...special visitor."

"Who?" He opened one eye looking at her.

"Well...pick a name."

He opened the other eye and looked at her, brows furrowed in confusion. "What are you talking about? Who is coming in 7 months that I need to pick a name for?" Lily just looked at him then looked down. He followed her eyes tilting his head looking at her feet.

"Up a bit more." She said. He looked at her knees. "Up a bit more." He looked at her stomach. She raised her eyebrows and smiled innocently. He looked back at her. Then back to her stomach then his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "Yes, I am with child. We will be having a baby."

He just looked at her. He moved his mouth trying to form words. After a few moments he finally spoke. "...a baby? Ours?"

"Yes!" She whispered. She waited for his reaction and he moved in and hugged her. She held him tight. "Oh Robbie! This is amazing! I wasn't sure how you would feel about this."

"I'm happy. I really am. I'm just stunned." He hugged her again. "I need to get something. I'll be right back." He left and leaned against the door, outside then ran like a mad man yelling "SPORTACUS!"

Lily looked out the window, smiling and shook her head. "Don't worry my sweet baby. He will come through."

Sportacus came into the house and was greeted with a kiss from his wife.

"Thank you for helping, my love. It will go much faster. Especially since we will be going to Big City. I can keep ahead of the housework. Now we have an hour at best, while Krysta is asleep. So, we will have to wait to vacuum for last.

She had a whole list of things to do. She handed him a piece of paper and he looked at it incredulously. "Dishes, laundry, sweep and mop floors, Lolo's room, make beds, make lunch and prep for dinner-, You do all this everyday?"

"No. I do this," she pointed to his list then hers. "And this."

"Why didn't you tell me you did all this? I want to help you."

"I know, love, but I don't want you to get too tied up. Your job as LazyTown's protector is important. I don't mind."

"But this is a lot of work. We are supposed to help each other. I want you to have time to yourself as you allow me."

She smiled and kissed his lips. "Ok. After we get done today I will make a list of things I can use help with that won't interfere with your rescuing."

"We'd better get started before I get lost in your kisses."

"Anything for the worlds bestest daddy." She smiled.

"I was speechless." He said looking at the medal. "It was the most beautiful gift I ever received. Next to you and Krysta, that is. Did she make anything for you?"

"Mhm. I got the worlds bestest mom bracelet." she said raising her wrist.

"What prompted her to do this?"

"We were talking about mother and Father's Day and she smiled and took off. I found out later she also took off with my sports candy cupcakes." She laughed. "Ok, let's get started." She kissed him again and headed to the kitchen.

He followed her to the kitchen to start the dishes when his crystal beeped. "Someone's in trouble!" and they heard Robbie yelling out to Sportacus. And it was panicked and getting closer. Elena's eyes got wide.

"No! The baby will wake up."

Sportacus went into his signature move and headed out to Robbie to at least quiet him then find out what was wrong.

"SPORTACUS!"

Sportacus got to Robbie who was still frantically yelling.

"Robbie, shh quiet down. I'm here." Robbie panicked and out of breath was trying to speak. "Breathe. What's wrong?" All Robbie could to was stutter. "Robbie!" He held his arms. "Look at me. Breathe. Focus." Sportacus was deep breathing and Robbie did the same. "That's it deep breath in." He instructed and Robbie continued taking deep breaths with Sportacus. "There you go. Very good. In, out. Now, what happened?"

He grabbed Sportacus's arms and squealed, "I'M PREGNANT!" He squealed, then passed out.

Sportacus caught him and stood there for a second as he tried to process what Robbie just told him. "Pregnant? He's pregnant?" He whispered. "With all Robbie's crazy inventions could it be possible? I think I may need help on this one." He hoisted him over his shoulder and brought him back to the house...
