The house was quiet when Speed and Lauren arrived home. They saw Pip's car in the driveway, but couldn't find her anywhere in the house. They checked Harry's room to make sure he was there, he was. He was sound asleep. "PIP!" Speed shouted. No answer. "Are you fucking serious?"

He went to walk back downstairs, but Lauren grabbed him by the arm. "Speed, chill out. You don't want to wake Harry up. Pip probably just stepped outside in the backyard for a minute. We never checked there," Lauren said calmly. Just then they heard the patio door open and close. "See I told you."

Speed looked at her then shouted, "Pip, is that you?"

"Yes Timothy. Your mother just called and asked me to stay until they've come home," Pip shouted back.

"Okay," he said as he felt Lauren's hands wrap around his waist, and up his t-shirt. He turned around to face her. "Babe, what are you doing?"

"I'm feeling better all of a sudden," she said slyly. "And seeing as we have the house pretty much to ourselves…" Lauren's hands reached Speed's belt, and she began to tug on it.

"You sure," he asked kissing her.

Lauren looked up at him. "Oh… I'm very sure, Tim, and you better be ready for lots of it because I read a woman's sex drive increases during pregnancy. Can you handle it?"

Speed grinned from ear to ear. "I don't know, but I'd sure like to try and find out."

Lauren pulled his belt off. "Well, then let's stop talking and start doing." Speed picked her up, and carried her to his room, where he placed her on his bed; he walked back to his bedroom door and shut it.

Speed woke up to the sound of his mother knocking on his bedroom door. Groaning, he carefully slipped out of his bed and opened the door. "Hi mom," Speed said groggily. "When did you guys get home, and what time is it?"

Barbara smiled at her son. "We just walked in the door no more than five minutes ago, and it's six o'clock. Your father and I were able to leave earlier than planned. You two ready to talk about what's going on?"

Speed looked back at a sleeping Lauren then back at his mother. "Um, yeah I guess. It's just that Lauren is sleeping now. I really didn't want to wake her."

Barbara peeked behind her son, and saw Lauren sleeping peacefully. "Ten minutes, Tim, then you both need to come down and eat some dinner, and Lauren needs to take her vitamins."

"We'll be down in ten minutes." He turned and headed back to his warm and comfortable bed. He crawled back in next to Lauren.

Barbara chuckled to herself as she turned and went to check on Harry. Seeing that Harry was sleeping peacefully, Barbara decided to go freshen up before the big talk. She still couldn't believe she and Richard were going to become grandparents. It seemed so surreal. She hadn't told her husband he was going to be a grandfather yet for two reasons: she was still processing everything and she wanted Speed and Lauren to tell him themselves.

Sighing, Barbara turned on the shower and stepped in. "These next couple of years are going to be tough ones," she said to herself.
