Babies and Bedrooms

1 Month Later

It was now December 30, and Mitchie and Shane were excited to ring in the new year. Many things had been going well for everyone. Nate and Caitlyn were expecting twins, a boy and a girl, in 4 more months (April). Mitchie was now 4 months along, and Shane and her were finding out the sex today. Kaylee who was now 6 months old and saying 'ma' and 'da', was with Shane's mom, who was coping well. Katherine had moved into Shane and Mitchie's, but felt like she was always interfering, so she bought a small apartment just 10 minutes away.

"Ready Mitch?" Shane asked as they were pulling into the parking lot. She looked at Shane and smiled.

"Yep, let's go" she said as she shut her door, and grabbed Shane's hand. They walked into the doctor's office, and Shane went to sit down. Mitchie went to the front desk to sign in.

She then went and sat with Shane. A couple minutes later, the nurse called her name.

"Okay, just have a seat and the doctor will be in shortly" the nurse said to them.

"I don't have to get another needle, do I?" se asked, slightly wimpering. Shane chucked at this, and grabbed her hand.

"I don't think so, love. They will most likely give you an ultrasound" Shane answered, as the doctor walked in.

"Hello Mitchie. I see you are indeed expecting again. I'm very happy for you" he said, as Mitchie smiled.

"We are all very happy about it, thanks Dr. Jennings" she said as she positioned herself on the exam table.

"Okay, so we are finding out the sex of the baby today, am I correct?" he asked, as he squirted the jelly on her slightly round tummy.

"Yes" Shane said as he sat next to his wife and held her hand. She squeezed his hand and laughed for a minute.

"What?" Shane asked, smiling at her randomness.

"That jelly was friggin cold" she laughed. She always laughed when she was ticklish.

"Okay, Mitchie, it looks like you two are having another daughter. Congratulations! She is looking good so far, healthy and all.

"Oh my gosh! Are you sure?" she asked, clearly excited.

"Absolutely. So be sure to make an appointment for next month, okay Mitchie?" he said, as he wiped the gel off of Mitchie's stomach.

"Okay, thanks Dr. Jennings, have a good New Year" Mitchie said as her and Shane

"Okay, see you then. Thanks" she said, and made an appointment for January 29, 2015.

The drive to Shane's mom's was quiet but a comfortable quiet. After a few minutes, Mitchie broke the silence.

"Shane?"

"Yeah, babe?" he asked, looking at her. He had a meaningful genuine smile on his face.

"Are you excited about having another daughter? Because I know that you wanted a son" she said, as Shane glanced at her.

"Mitchie, even if we had 6 daughters, and only 1 son, I would still be the happiest man on Earth. You know why?" he asked.

"No, why?" she asked. She was twiddling with her hands, a sign she was nervous about his answer.

"Because you are their mother. Because they will have that sweet and absolutely amazing personality of yours. They will understand what it means to be thankful for everything they have in their life, they will a good and beloved life, and learn to respect people. They will be the perfect replica of you, and that is what I see in Kaylee. She is fun, she laughs and smiles at the simplest things, and she is a fighter" Shane finished, as looked at his wife.

She had tears streaming down her cheeks, but she was smiling. A real genuine smile, that made Shane's heart leap. He smiled back at her, and for once, since all the drama in his life unfolded, he, Shane Gray was truly and genuinely happy.

20 Minutes Later . . .

After some tender couple moments, Shane finally pulled into Katherine's driveway. After parking the car, Shane helped Mitchie out and they walked up to the house.

Katherine answered the door before Shane could even open it. "Hi sweethearts, come on in" she said.

Once Mitchie and Shane were inside, she gave Mitchie a hug, but only a small one so as not to crush the baby. When she was done she pulled Shane in for a bone crushing hug. Mitchie decided to let them be alone for a bit, so she went into the living room where she saw her daughter . . . crawling.

"Oh my baby, look at you" she said, as tears came to her eyes. Her baby girl was crawling at 6 months old.

"What's go—" Shane started to ask, but stopped when he saw Kaylee crawling. His mega watt smile overtook his face, and a couple tears slid down his cheeks as well.

"She is sure growing up fast you two. I can picture her when she hits puberty" Katherine said as Shane's eyes widened.

"Mom, please, baby steps, not oversized ones. The last thing I want to picture is Kaylee having a boyfriend" he said, as he noticeably winced at the thought.

"So, what is the gender of my next grandbaby?" Katherine asked.

"Girl" Mitchie and Shane chorused.

"How wonderful! Shane, you better hope you two have a boy soon, since your house is already overcrowding in the estrogen department" she said, as she went to give Shane and Mitchie another hug.

"Congratulations, sweetie" Kathy said to her daughter in-law.

"Thanks Kathy. We should really get going, the roads are a little slippery, and I don't want to be on the roads at night. Thanks so much for watching Kaylee for us" she said as she and Kathy pulled away from the hug.

"No problem sweetie, just take care of my grandbabies, and Shane. I'll see you tomorrow night, okay? Who all is going?" she asked, as Shane helped Kaylee into her carseat.

"Jason, his wife, Nate, Caitlyn, Jess, Lola, Barron, Sander, Ella, Peggy and Sierra. Along with you, and Mitchie's parents, so it won't be too full. And yes, we do need a boy if the third is another girl. Not that I don't love being overprotective of Kay" he answered his mother's question from years ago.

"Okay well it's getting dark, so get your bottoms in gear. I'll see around 4, okay?" she asked as Shane and Mitchie were making their way to the car with Kaylee.

"Okay mom, see you then. Love you" he said and they waved from the car. After pulling out, they proceeded to make their way home. It was only around 5:30, but it was already slightly dark outside.

"Hey Shane? Do you maybe want to come up with some names for the baby tomorrow?" Mitchie asked her husband.

"Sounds like a good idea. I have a few names already selected, actually" he said as they pulled into the driveway. Mitchie was about to grab Kaylee from the backseat when Shane stopped her.

"You carry her in, and I'll grab her carseat. I don't want you straining yourself with an already risky pregnancy" he said to her as she picked up their daughter, and walked up the front porch.

After unlocking the door, they walked in, locked the door and went upstairs to get Kay ready for bed.

As they were tucking her into bed, Mitchie felt a flitter in her stomach. Absentmindedly, like she did when she was pregnant with Kaylee, she grabbed Shane's hand and placed it on her stomach.

"You felt her kick didn't you?" Shane asked knowingly. The last time she did this, Shane looked at her like she was crazy.

"Yeah, the first kick. Can we order some Italian and Thai food?" she asked out of the blue, which caused Shane to laugh at her. He could remember all of her odd and yet disgusting cravings from her last pregnancy.

As they walked down the stairs to the living room, Shane brought up the past "unedible" cravings Mitchie had had before. The two he despised the most were mustard and sour cream in her tea, and relish and tomatoes in her banana chocolate chip muffin. Needless to say, he lost his appetite for breakfast.

"Remember when you ate pickles and hot dogs in your ice cream at Thanksgiving? That was before we found out!" Shane said with a look of pure horror on his face.

"Uh huh, that alone brings the sick taste to my mouth. My favorite craving was vanilla ice cream, cut strawberries dipped in chocolate, with cut banana's, and they were all in the ice cream, so it was like a giant sundae" she replied.

This went on for a good 3 hours, with Shane and Mitchie talking openly about anything and everything. Finally around 9, Mitchie started dozing off. Shane couldn't blame her though. A month before Kaylee was born, she was placed on bed rest, and made no attempts to hide how angry she was. It was worth it though, as Kaylee was very healthy.

Shane bent down, picked his wife up, carried her up the stairs, and changed her into her pajama's. He didn't see the huge deal. They already had a 6 month old daughter and another one on the way. If they were 17 and 20, and still virgins it would be a different story.

After changing her into one of his shirts, he took off his shirt and pants, leaving him in only clad in his boxers. He climbed into bed and wrapped his arms around Mitchie's waist, gently rubbing his hands over her little bump. Despite the fact that this pregnancy was considered risky, he had a feeling everything would turn out for the better in the end.

A/N: Okay so Chapter 11 is complete, now if you guys don't mind, I am sleep deprived, and need my beauty rest since my roomies boyfriend is not hunched over the toilet bowl tonight, and my room mate is not being loud, I have a good chance at a decent sleep. Oh yeah, forgot, in College, a "decent sleep" is very difficult to come by! Ciao!!
