AN- I am sorry, I realized from one review that I never actually made an announcement though a lot of people know. Early in the morning Oct. 14th Momma went into cardiac arrest and passed away.

"Is she asleep?" Lena asked as Stef came in the room, leaving the door between the two bedrooms cracked and an old nightlight casting light from Callie's room.

"I don't like giving her sleeping pills," Stef commented as she sat on the end of the bed, facing Lena, "She's asleep, but she fought it the whole way, and begged me not to make her go to sleep." Lena rubbed Stef's thigh.

"I can put her to sleep tomorrow," Lena offered, knowing how hard it was for Stef to put their teenage daughter down.

"No, I would hate it more not doing it myself," Stef said, "Love, I think you should take the test," Stef said, changing the subject and looking towards the bedside table where a pharmacy bag sat.

"Maybe tomorrow," Lena said, laying down, trying to end the conversation. Stef shook her head and crawled into bed facing Lena.

"I know you're scared," Stef said softly, rubbing her nose against Lena's, "But I'm right here. And I'll be right here no matter what happens. Come on, Love," Stef whispered, earning a nod from Lena. After 5 cycles of IVF Lena had become weary. They had both decided that this would be the last try. The emotional toll was taking more out of Lena than the monetary one. Lena had skipped her appointment and at this point a at home test would tell them if she was pregnant.

Stef stood at the door as Lena took the test, as she sat it on the bathroom counter Stef wrapped her arms around Lena's middle from behind, pushing curls to the side she peppered kisses on Lena's neck and shoulder, "I love you," Stef whispered softly, nuzzling her nose against the the base of Lena's neck, pressing her hand against Lena's racing heart, "Just breathe, Love."

"S-stef?" Lena asked with a stutter after a couple minutes of silence, "T-that's two," she said shakily, picking up the stick to see a faint second line.

"Baby," Stef wrapped her arms tighter around Lena.

"We need to take another," Lena said, stopping Stef's celebration.

"I think there's one around here somewhere," Stef said jumping into action and pulling open drawers, finding a pregnancy test in the back of her make-up drawer, handing it to Lena she watched as Lena opened it, "Can you pee again?"

"Stef, shut up," Lena laughed, "I'm pretty sure I can pee."

Five minute later Stef wrapped her arms around Lena as a second pink line once again came up. "We can't celebrate we need to go get a blood test," Lena said, though the grin wouldn't leave her face.

"No, that's two, I'm celebrating, oh my god, Baby," Stef breathed, pressing her lips against Lena's. Stef grabbed Lena's hand and pulled her to bed. Lena lay on her back as Stef laid perpendicular to her, her ear against Lena's stomach, "Hi, My Love," Stef said, pushing Lena's shirt up and pressing a kiss to Lena's belly button, "me and Momma have waited so long for you. You have the best Momma in the world. You just wait and see," she said, holding onto Lena's hip with one hand, "You're going to thrown into a family with lots of older siblings, and grandparents, but I promise, it'll be so great. There is so much love." Lena closed her eyes as her wife spoke softly to her stomach. Rationally she knew they should wait, for a blood test, for an ultrasound, but she couldn't help her heart swelling to the thought that her child was inside of her.

"Momma?" Lena opened her eyes some time later to see Callie standing at the doorway of the two rooms, rubbing her pointer finger up and down the bridge of her nose. Looking down she saw Stef had fallen asleep with her head on Lena's stomach.

"Hi, Bug. What are you doing up?" Lena asked, shaking Stef's shoulder to wake her up.

"Hi, Love," Stef yawned.

"I woke up to go to the bathroom and now I can't go back to sleep," Callie said, shuffling her feet.

"You want to sleep in Momma's bed?" Stef asked, getting up and moving so she was parallel with Lena. Callie nodded, climbing in between them and curling into Stef's side. Stef kissed her temple, while Callie was half asleep she pulled Callie's loose sleeve up, checking the cuts on her wrist that were in the process of healing. She pressed a few light kisses to the her arm and looked over at Lena who was running a hand up and down Callie's back. Stef smiled at her and watched Lena's eyes. The silent communication between them. The idea of the baby was exciting, but they also needed to remember to keep their oldest in site.
