A/N Hey! I'm gonna start writing more regularly now I'm out of school! Remember to just say where you think this story should go!

5 months later

"We are old." Conrad declared.

"Huh?" I laughed.

"Our daughter is six months old!"

"Just wait 'til she's sixteen years old."

"AH!" He covered his ears. "Don't even speak of it!"

"Awe, baby." I grinned. "Just remember how Isaac from next door gravitates toward Grace."

"Belly," Conrad whined. "Why are you torturing me?"

"Because it's fun!" I giggled.

"I'm gonna get you for that," Con mumbled.

"Anytime you wish, Dr. Fisher."

"Bells," Conrad wrapped his arms around me. "You are killing me here. I'm, like, about to die or something."

"Says the doctor." I scoffed.

"Would you two knock it off?" Steven gagged.

"Oh, shush." Taylor smacked him in the back of the head.

That's a thing now. Steven and Taylor, I mean. Apparently it started before Grace was born, and nobody said anything to me. They all claim it's because I'm very sensitive when I'm pregnant.

I laughed at that one.

"Should we tell them?"

"Let's wait until everybody gets here." I mumbled.

"You sure?"

"Yeah," I smiled up at him. "I am."

"She is just the sweetest baby." Dad gushed.

"She's never mad." Ashley agreed. "Except when she's hungry."

"That's what she gets from me," Jeremiah added.
"Heyo, what about Uncle Steven over here?" Steven waved his arms in the air.

"What about her Dad?" Conrad laughed. "You know, I helped create her. It's only fair I get to take credit."

I was laughing right along with Taylor and Ashley. Anika still hadn't shown up. I knew she'd get a kick out of this.

"Guys, I'm right here." I giggled. "Who gets the crankiest when hungry?"

Conrad started pointing at me and laughing.

"That's my girl." Conrad kissed my temple.
"Isn't that right, honey?" I made a silly face for Grace. "You're just like Mommy, right?"

She squealed and started clapping her hands.

We started eating. Conrad and I didn't eat when everybody else ate, we fed Grace instead.

"So we bought a house." Conrad mentioned casually.

"What?" Jeremiah stared between us. "When?"

"Why?" Mom asked looking between the two of us like we were hiding something.
"It's too small in our apartment. It's a pain in the butt walking up the stairs with Grace and the groceries." I answered.

"Why is it too small?" Ashley had a smile on her face.

"There isn't enough room?" I squeaked. Lying was never my strong suit.

Conrad was laughing to himself and holding the baby.
"You're not much help." I glared.

"I knew it!" Taylor clapped.

"What do you know?"

"You're pregnant!"

"Wait-what?" Steven looked so confused.

"YES!" Ashley screeched. "YES!"

Jeremiah was grinning ear to ear.

I knew it. Jere was going to be a Dad.

"You handled it well." Conrad nodded.

I rolled my eyes at him. We'd talked about waiting to tell them, but with our family I figured it was better if we just put it out there. It wasn't planned. That's for sure, but we were happy. Truly happy.

Ashley tackled me and I laughed.
"I know." I whispered. "I'm happy for you."

"I'm happy for both of us." She squeezed me. "I'm happy our babies are going to grow up together."

"I love ya," I squeezed her once more before going to my husband and daughter.
