Alex walks inside a sigh of Relief comes over him and he watches Claire fuss around the kitchen he smiles to himself as the beautiful woman turns around and smiles back and without any words the two fall into each other's embrace Claire looks up "Hello my cowboy."

He smiles down at her "Hello McLeod I've missed you today."

Claire giggles it's only been 10 hours."

Without any more words Alex kisses her she returns the kiss they pull away "How's my little man?"

Claire softly rests her hands on his chest with a cheesy grin "Who says it's a boy? Ha?"

Alex giggles "I just know it will be." Claire raises her eyebrows "Do you wanna bet?"

Nick and Tess walk in Nick smirks "What are we betting on?"

Alex nods "Ok then 200 bucks it's a boy born on the 10th of July weighing 8 pound 2."

Claire shakes her head "No it'll be a girl born on the 5th of July 7 pound 5."

Nick rubs his hands together taking it out of Tess' embrace "No it's a nephew born on the 12th of July 5 pound 4."

Tess rubs her sisters belly "Girl born on 26th of July 6 pound 3."

Claire rights all their predictions down and places them in a jar "We will find out when the time comes."

They all nod as Tess and Nick continue their way into her room. Tess giggles as he lays her onto the bed "No Nick where supposed to be finding me something to wear."

He giggles "Yeah we have heaps of time."

A few hours past Claire knocks on Tess' door you two were ready hurry up Tess and decide what you're wearing." Tess and Nick don't budge as they cuddle up asleep. Claire storms into the room as nobody answers she smiles to herself as she sees the couple snuggled up and her sister smiling.

Alex walks in clipping up his watch "Are you serious."

Claire puts her finger to her lips as in if to say shhh.

He shakes his head "Let's leave them and tell Mum they came up with something."

Claire nods as they walk out closing the door behind them. They pull up at Killarney Liz walks out greeting them she hugs her son and kisses Claire on the cheek "Hello darlings. But oh where's my other son and daughter in law."

Claire and Alex go to speak at the same time "Ah they... Ah."

Claire and Alex giggle at each other Alex sighs "Tess isn't feeling to good and Nick hesitated to look after her. But she insisted for him to coms but he couldn't so long story short Nick is looking after Tess."

Liz grins "She sure does have my son smitten doesn't she?"

Claire and Alex both nod with a smirk. Nick opens his eyes and smiles down at his beautiful wife she flutters her eyes open as he leans on one elbow she smiles at him "Hello."

He kisses her "Hey beautiful."

Tess stops smiling "Shit Nick its dark outside and it's like 8:00pm and we were supposed to..."

Nick cuts her off "Claire and Alex will have our backs ok beautiful."

She nods "Are you sure."

He nods "Yes."

She looks at him "If it wasn't all for you and conning me into this."

He smiles "But you enjoyed it."

She can't hold back her smile "Yeah true."

He kisses her "I'm going to cook some tea ok."

She nods "Alright I'm going for a shower." As they head of their separate ways Nick smiles as he thinks I missed dinner with my own parents and fell asleep with my wife instead she really does have a dominant effect on me and man I love her and that amazing feeling she has on me. Tess walks into the kitchen watching her husband move around in the kitchen cooking her dinner. As he hums away at his happy thoughts Tess giggles he turns around losing his train of thought about her "Why so happy?"

He slowly walks over to her "Well I was just thinking about you and how I missed dinner with my own parents and fell asleep with you instead and how you really do have a dominant effect on me and man I love you and that amazing feeling you have on me."

She giggles "Well you didn't just fall asleep with me did you."

Nick shakes his head grinning "No."

He kisses her "I love you."

Tess sighs in relief "That's good because I was starting to think..."

Nick kisses her "Oh shut up."

Tess giggles "You're amazing."

He nods "No you are."

Nick finishes cooking there dinner. As they eat in the comfort of their own silence and one another's company. After Tess finished with a smile "That was delicious."

Nick kisses his wife's cheek "That's good."

Alex and Claire walk in the door "Good to see you two up but you did miss dinner. Oh and Tess tomorrow Mum will be around so you gotta act sick ok. And Nick brother you can't work tomorrow you have to stay here and look after Tess."

Tess and Nick grin "See told ya they would have our backs."

Tess shrugs Nick giggles "That is so true if you're late home I won't have to search far."

Tess softly punches Nick in the arm "Yeah well you're Mummy's boy not like you can talk."

Nick kisses her cheek "Yeah I'm a real Mummy's boy after all I did miss dinner with her for you."

Tess smiles and leans in for kiss "Mmm so true."

Alex and Claire roll their eyes as they walk away.

Nick kisses her again "I'm glad I married a hot stubborn McLeod."

Tess giggles "Well I'm glad too. Now let's go get some rest."

Nick smirks "Well I had something else in mind."

Tess smiles "Mmm really well so did I."

Claire shakes her head with a grin "Night Tess."

Claire and Alex snuggle up into bed as they are about to fall asleep Tess starts giggling "That tickles."
