Author's Note:

I don't own GMW, blah blah blah.

Here ya go. The reviews I've gotten all say you want to see Shawn and Cory's reaction to the sleeping arrangements.

Read, Review, Request... As long as I'm getting feedback, I'll try to post as quickly as I can write.

Chapter 3

Maya's POV

"Well, no sense in us all waiting up on your parents. They said they got a late start leaving the city and have ran into traffic. They will get here when they get here. Now everyone else off to bed, cooking begins early in the morning." Nana shooed us off to bed.

Riley and I quickly use the upstairs bathroom to change into pj's for bed, and do a quick washing of the face and brushing of teeth. One bathroom for 7 people is a challenge, even if one of those isn't that big.

I see Morgan and Elizabeth in the hall as I head back to the room. "Night Morgan, Nighty Night Baby Lizzie!"

"Elizabeth, her name is Elizabeth... How many times am I going to have to tell my family that my child is not named after a mass murderer?" Morgan exclaimed.

"AX murderer, not mass murderer. There's a difference. Lizzie Borden used an ax to murder her parents." I pointed out, annoying my future sister in law is so easy.

"UGH!" Morgan turned and stormed back into their room.

We get settled in our beds, Josh and I in one full size bed, Lucas and Riley in the other, and try to go to sleep. I'm almost asleep when I hear Riley's voice.

"Goodnight, Peaches." Riley whispers.

"Goodnight, Riles." I reply.

"Goodnight Uncle Josh." I hear Riley continue.

"Goodnight RiRi" Josh replies.

"Goodnight Ranger Rick" I can't help myself.

"Goodnight Short Stack" Lucas retorts.

Slowly we all fall asleep and the house gets quiet. My last thought before falling asleep is that Josh makes a nice pillow, and for some reason, I sleep better near him than without him.

Shawn's Pov

"Finally home, hey Cor?" I ask as we pull into the driveway about midnight. The house is dark except for a light on in the kitchen.

"Home sweet Home, no better place!" Cory exclaims.

"Excuse me?" Topanga climbs out of the car with her hands on her hips.

"Umm, I meant no better place in Philly... Why don't you and Katy go on in the house and get settled?" Cory quickly backtracked.

"Katy, you go on in. Cory and I will tell Ma Matthews we are here, and will be right back over. Ma said we are in Feeny's house. The key should be under the flower pot by the door." I say as I help my pregnant wife out of the backseat and direct her towards the gate.

"Good. Your child is jumping up and down on my bladder and I have to pee yet again." Katy mutters as she gives me a quick kiss before making a bee line for the door.

"Ma, we're here!" We announce as we walk into the kitchen door.

"Good, now I can go to bed." Dad says, getting up from the table.

"Alan!" Mom sighs. "The kids are all asleep and your dad and I are heading to bed. Breakfast will not come from my kitchen tomorrow."

"I want to look in on my kids, then we will go across to Feeny's." Cory says, heading for the living room.

"Ava and Auggie are in the living room, the others have your old room. Be quiet though, if you wake Baby Elizabeth, I will kill you myself. That child is impossible to get back to sleep if you wake her up." Mom says, heading for their bedroom.

Ava and Auggie are asleep on the pull out couch, with the backs touching and hands held. I point them out to Cory and he just shakes his head.

We quietly make our way up the stairs. Cory to check in on his daughter, me to wake mine to surprise her with our news.

We slip into our old room and shine the light on our phones on the beds.

"EEK" Cory lets out an annoyed sound.

I glance at the first bed and growl. "Brother or not, I'm going to kill him!"

"No, Shawn. We have bigger problems. Lucas is sleeping with my daughter!" Cory interrupts me.

"SO? Your brother is sleeping with MY daughter." I retort.

"Dad? Shut up. Nana told us we could sleep like this so its her house, her rules. Keep your voice down before you wake up the demon child across the hall. Wake her up, and I'll go sleep next door with Mom and Topanga, and you can have this bed." Maya grumbles.

"I came over to let you be the first one to find out if you are getting a brother or a sister, but since you don't want me to talk, I guess I'll just keep the information to myself." I reply.

"Well, I'm awake now. You might as well tell me if I'm getting a brother or a little sister that you will never let out of the house." Maya grumbles. I forgot how bad a grumpy sleepy Maya is to deal with.

"It's a girl. Now I have two baby girls for which no man will ever be good enough to date them." I reply with a smile.

"Name? And don't get started with that no dating crap. You already gave Josh permission to end the long game." Maya replies sleepily.

"Lillian Kate Hunter." I say with a smile. "Figured we will call her Lily Kate. And go back to sleep my baby girl. I'll deal with your Nana's sleeping rules tomorrow."

"Cory, leave them alone and lets go. Our wives are waiting on us, and you know like Mr. Friar over there, just as much as I hate to admit that your baby brother is the best for my baby girl." I grab Cory and shove him out the bedroom door, and quietly close the door.

"Our babies aren't babies anymore, and I believe they've made great choices in their life partners... Even if its my job as her Dad to remind her that no one will ever be good enough." I remind Cory as we walk through the gate. I take a moment to glance towards the bedroom window one last time.

"Its our girls versus the real world now, and we can't protect them from everything. Its not our job to be their protectors anymore, I think we are being replaced my dear brother." I say softly as we head inside to find our wives.
