A/N Hey guy - here's another chapter! Hope you like! =)
3 weeks later
"Bye Spence." Ashley gave me a kiss as she left the house.
"Bye Ash. Say hi to Dion for me." I waved to her as she drove out of the driveway.
Wow! Waving to my wife as she drives away!
I'm such a traditional wife!
I'm off myself in a few minutes. I'm going to Paige and Andi's house. Andi is already 5 months pregnant and they are planning to have a water birth.
That's the craze you see. A lot of lesbian mothers are opting to give birth to their babies in water.
I don't think I could. Then again, Ash and I haven't really talked about kids yet. I definitely want them, but we'll see.
I hop into the car, taking with me the 'emergency supplies' as Paige calls it; A couple of vodkas, cranberry juice and chocolates. I'm not sure vodka is a very good idea for Andi and the baby right now, but hey they are free to do what they like.
It'll be great seeing them again. We haven't really seen anyone since the wedding.
I'll give you $100 dollars if you can guess what's been happening. Hehe!
As I pull into their driveway, I see Paige picking some roses from the front garden.
I beep the horn and wave at her. As I get out of the car, Paige runs up to me and bowls me over.
'Hi Spencer!" She wraps her arms around me.
"Uh…" I am still trying to recover from the incredibly warm welcome. "Hi Paige." I eventually return the hug.
"You're not trying to feel up my girl are you Spence." I hear Andi call from the porch.
I let go of Paige and look over at Andi.
Wow! Those babies must be really huge. That's how big I thought she would be at full term. I guess not.
"Haha." I laugh as I make my way over to her. "No Andi. I got my own at home." I reply.
She leans down to give me a hug. "Long time no see." She winks at me.
I blush. "Yeah….." I drawl.
They both laugh at my vagueness. Paige hands Andi the flowers that she picked. Andi's eyes twinkle as they lock eyes. "Thanks babe." She says softly.
"Umm… Okay!" I say awkwardly trying to avoid any feelings of uncomfortableness.
They take their eyes off each other. "Sorry Spence." Paige looks at me ashamed.
"Come on in Spence!" Andi pulls me in.
As I get comfy on the couch, I look around. They are so excited about the babies that they have already started to set up their house. There are child safety locks on the bottom cupboards of the cabinets and gates at the bottom of the stairs and at the doorway of the kitchen.
"You can never be too prepared Spence." Andi said as she noticed me looking around.
"We are really excited!" Paige smiled as she wrapped her arms around Andi.
"Yeah I guess you are having two. You need to be doubly prepared."
I notice the book on the table. 'You're pregnant! A week by week guide.' I chuckled.
"So Spencer how's life?" Andi asked me as she sat across from me.
"Really good Andi! I really enjoy being married. I love waking up next to her every single day." I gush.
Andi smiled. "You look so happy Spence. I'm really happy for you."
"I am happy Andi. I can't imagine life without her."
"I know exactly what you mean." She replies starring over at Paige, who is making coffee.
"And the sex? How's the sex? It must be good if we haven't heard from you in a while." She winked.
I blushed. "Yeah…."
She looks at me and raises an eyebrow at me.
"Yes! Okay! It's been bloody fantastic!" I blurt out.
Andi laughs.
"How are you guys?" I say quickly, determined to change the subject.
'We are brilliant! Babies are doing fine according to our last ultrasound. Oh and our sex is pretty good too, considering my condition."
We all chuckle.
"So do you know the genders of the babies?" I ask.
Andi and Paige look at each other and again I'm feeling awkward as I watch on at their little exchange.
Andi turns and faces me, but Paige is the one who speaks.
"Well yes we do. But we don't want to announce it yet."
"Oh okay, fair enough."
"Yeah…. Throughout our house we will reveal hints through decoration in the next month or so."
"Okay, that sounds fun!" I smile at them to reassure them it's a good idea, as they looked uncertain.
"So what about you Spence?" Paige asks.
"What about me?" I look at them in confusion.
"Are you and Ashley planning to have children soon? We could have play dates."
I chuckle at them until I see that they are being serious.
"Oh right. You're serious."
"Of course we're serious. We both think you guys will be great parents!" Paige said excitedly.
"Yeah well we haven't really spoken about kids, only up to the point that I'll be carrying them."
"I'll have to get someone to donate though." I say sheepishly.
"I'm sure Aiden will." Paige answered.
I laugh. "No, no! No way! I'm not destroying my mini Ashley's with Aiden's DNA.
We are still laughing when the doorbell rings.
"Oh my gosh! They're here!" Paige shrieked.
Andi went to open the door.
A man with a folder and a model of what looked like a bath tub – but of course it was a water birth tank model – entered.
"Hey I'm Steven. You must be Andi?"
"Hey Steven, yeah I'm Andi." Andi shakes his hand.
"I'm Paige, her fiancée." Paige extended her hand.
Fiancée? Since when?
I look at Andi who gives me a guilty look and quickly looks away.
Hmmm….
"And you are?" Steven gestures to me.
"Oh." I jump up. "I'm Spencer." I shake his hand.
"Yeah," Andi says coming over to me. "Spencer and her wife Ashley are the godparents of our babies."
Okay, two things; I internally squeal as she says 'wife Ashley' and why didn't she tell me before?
I was still elated by being potential godparents.
Steven got set up and began his pitch.
An hour later, Steven was saying his goodbyes and it was finally time for me to grill Paige and Andi about their engagement and our godparents' position.
"Okay, what's going on?" I demand as soon as the door had closed.
"Okay, before you get angry, we were going to tell you." Paige said.
"Yeah we were waiting for the right time." Andi exclaimed.
"Well, now's the perfect time." I cross my arms and sit down on the couch.
"Okay…" Andi sits down across from me. 'We swear you are the first to know."
"Hmpf!"
"Well, Andi proposed to me about 12 days ago at a restaurant in the city. It was so special!" Paige started.
"Yeah and we decided who better to be our babies' godparents than you and Ash." Andi finished. Paige nodded.
"We don't want anyone else to look after our babies if we die." Andi looks at Paige.
"Yeah, you are definitely the ones we want to look after our twins."
She extended her arm out to pull me in for a hug.
"Okay, you guys." I grab Paige's hand. 'I can't stay made at you when you tell me things like that!" I pull them in for a group hug.
"Congratulations!"
We laugh together until Andi silences us.
"Now it's time to tell Ashley."
