*Flashbacks*

24 year old Laura had found out this morning the most wonderful news; that she was going to be a mommy. Good thing she was alone cause there was a lot of screaming, squealing, jumping up and down and floating on air with a goofy smile on her face around the house.

Along with marrying her dream man,she had also dreamed about having her own little family and now it was coming true. Dreams of what her baby would look like and what personality would they have?. Laura couldn't wait to find out what the child will look like, be like, hold them in her arms and just watch them grow up to wonderful young man\woman.

Laura knew that Ross would be just as thrilled about the upcoming birth of their son\daughter. He had always said he loved growing up with his brothers and sister, he never felt lonely, always had a confident, playmate and someone who understands you as a person and can go through life together with.

The baby wasn't even born yet and already she knew her daughter\son was a lucky little one. They will have parents that will love them unconditionally, be there through good and tough times with the same amount of care, love, acceptance and trust. Ross and Laura would also be there for all events and activities their child would be interested in as their own cheering section. Or if the child need to talk about life and it's problems or share in an exciting moment his or her parents would be there as well if it was time for the parents to be kids again.

Laura had the perfect plan to tell her loving hubby about the baby; get a parents- to- be card, make a dinner with baby related foods, drop subtle hints in the dinner conversation and of course play music associated with children and babies in the background. Hopefully Ross would get the hint so they could start celebrating but Laura had the feeling it wouldn't be that easy.

Ross came home, with a kiss and a "hello beautiful", Laura and he sat down for dinner; baby back ribs, baby carrots, corn, dinner rolls and for desert cheesecake. Ross was chattering on about his day on the set of "Family Chaos" so Laura just sat back and let her husband ramble on, she was in no hurry to rush into the big news.

"So sweetheart, did you get a phone call from the producer of "First Kiss"? I know that you will get the part. I mean I know how talented of an actress you are and how you pour yourself into every role until you become that person so they would have to be stupid not to choose you." Ross said in between the bites of the delcious food. He had been thinking of that phone call all day.

"No George Squire didn't call today. But it is a good thing that he didn't cause I will unfortunately have to turn it down. I mean I have a project in the works that will take up most of my strength, energy, thoughts and time for the next 9 months in order to make sure it is a success. Plus this project is one we need to work together on since we are the ones who started it so it is only fair that we do it together. It is not the right time for a movie" Laura said with a secret smile, praying that Ross got the hint.

"Really honey? You are going to turn down a starring movie role in order to finish renovating our backyard? I doubt it will take 9 months, maybe like 2 months at least. Laur, I can get my brothers and Calum to help me with the renovation, it isn't that big of a job. By the time you get home, you will have a beautiful backyard to relax in. Don't say no just yet before you think about it clearly." Ross said trying to convince Laura not to sell herself short on a wonderful opporunity for her.

"I was so not talking about the backyard renovation which you are so so so not going to do yourself. Unless you are dying to visit the emergency room when you get hurt pretending to be a renovator. Anyway, I will think about the movie and in the meantime I made this new playlist today, why don't you put it in and tell me what you think?" Laura suggested, a little peeved that her husband was being so blind about what she was trying to tell him. If he didn't get it after the CD, it was time for the big guns, the card.

When the nursery rhymes and children's songs\lullabies came on, Ross just sang along with the ones he knew in between bites of food and an adorable game of footies with Laura under the table. Turns out he thought that since one of Laura's co-stars adopted a baby recently, she had babies on the mind which meant they needed to sit down and talk about maybe starting their own family.

Laura felt like groaning or even hitting her head with her hand in frustration. Ok last effort, one to really enforce the big secret; Laura got up, got the card and slid it across the table. Ross lifted his eyebrows, a card what was the occassion?, but opened it wordless and his mouth dropped at the words printed inside.

"I just wanted to say hi. Even though I am the size of a pea, I am looking forward to being able to meet you face to face in 9 months. I know you will be the best daddy ever and I already love you. I can't wait for my ears to develop and my little legs to have the strength to kick so we can start our daddy to child talks.

Love your son\daughter

xoxoxoxoxo"

Ross's mind clicked in as what Laura was trying to tell him all night. "Uh what. We're going to be parents!. We are having a baby!. You and me are going to have a son or daughter in 9 months, an addition to the family!. OMG this is even better then the movie deal!. This tops anything I ever could have imagined!. I am so excited, no ecstatic. I love you so much and I already love this baby"

Ross drops the card, pushes his chair out, scoops Laura up into a gigantic hug, spinning her around and raining kisses all over her face and then dropping down to his knees to press a kiss to her tummy and whispering "I love you" to his son or daughter. Then of course it was really time to celebrate with the cheesecake while talking about the type of person they hoped their child would be.*Flashback*
