I can't believe it's only been a week since Leo was born. It feels like he's been a part of our family for forever. I'm currently sitting in the women's room holding and rocking him while Kenna is taking a nap. Ever since he was born she hasn't gotten much sleep and I really feel for her. I'm over six months in and I'm not even getting much sleep.

I look down at my sleeping nephew and smile. He's so tiny and cute. He's wearing a blue sleeper; my favorite color! It says 'My Aunty spoils me Rotten!' If you couldn't tell, I got it for him. Next to me is May. She's looking through a fashion magazine and I can tell something is up.

"What's wrong May?" I ask quietly.

"Nothing. Don't worry about it." She says huffing and looking down. I place Leo in the basinet next to me and turn to face her tucking my knees under me. I slightly rocked Leo with my foot and sat waiting for her to tell me what was going on. She kept flipping through the magazine but I kept my eyes on her sighing and playing with my hair. She looked up for one second and I gave her my best puppy dog eyes. She sighed, very loudly I might add, threw her head back, and turned to me.

"Puppy dog eyes. Seriously? You have stooped to a new low sister dearest." She laughed at her own joke a bit but her smile didn't reach her eyes. I raised an eyebrow in her direction. "Okay. Okay fine I give up." She placed the magazine down and turned to me tucking her knees under two. She rested her head on her hand and closed her eyes for a minute.

"So lately, I've just been feeling sort of left out and I know that Gerard has been also." I sat up more furrowing my brow feeling confused. "It's just that ever since you became queen; we haven't really gotten to spend time together. You went on your honeymoon, and then you came back and you and Maxon were getting adjusted and it just-you guys are-well you were busy." She looked down blushing and I gave her a confused look. "Well you-you know; you got pregnant." My eyes widened in understanding and I blushed too trying to look away. "And ever since then, you've been worried about that and we haven't really done much together. You're just never around I guess is what I'm trying to say is that I feel kind of ignored."

"I'm sorry May, I honestly had no idea. I'm just really busy and-"

"NO!" she yelled now with tears in her eyes. I didn't understand why she had gotten so upset so fast though. She stood up and looked at me seriously. "Don't you dare say that America. What happened to family first? What happened to, 'No matter what I'll never forget you or put you aside?" she was crying now but it wasn't the ugly sobbing where your eyes are puffy and red and your body is wracking while snot drips down your face. It was the tears of disappointment and I couldn't stand to look at her.

"May. Calm down. I'm sorry okay?"

She sniffed again and crossed her arms looking away from me and biting her lip. "Even Maxon cares more about us."

"What was that?" I asked hurt.

"You heard what I said. He plays with Gerard and even comes and talks to me sometimes. You never do Ames. And I'm tired of it." Her voice had now risen to a yell. "I'm just tired of you!"

Just as I was about to say something back Leo woke up crying and screaming. Great! This is just fan-freaking-tastic. "Thanks May. Now look what you've done."

"Oh yes it was all me!" She said loudly making wild gestures. I shushed her angrily trying to get Leo to calm down.

"You where the one that yelled!" I whisper shouted to her.

"Good I'm glad." She said starting to walk out. She wasn't crying anymore; she was just upset.

"Aren't you going to help me?"

"Nope. Sorry… I don't have time for you." UGHHHHHHHHH that girl just makes me want to scream bloody murder sometimes.

"Wow May! REAL MATURE!"

"Just taking after dear old sister." I heard her mutter still walking away.

If you didn't know by now; us red heads have very large and fast tempers. So as you could tell; I wasn't in a great mood. Especially with a screaming baby in hand. I can't believe I'm going to have two soon. I hope they're not red heads. For my sake, and theirs.

So I sat, rocking my nephew, and thinking about what all May said. Had I really been ignoring them that much? Hmmm I don't even know anymore. Don't get me wrong; I love being here and I love Maxon so much, but, it's so hard sometimes. I miss when life was simple and I didn't have to worry about anything but my family. I guess she's right though. I have been doing a pretty bang up job when it came to being a sister. And when did Maxon visit her and Gerard? Huh. Oh well, I'll find out sooner or later. I decided then that I was going to be a better sister and daughter. It was a need and a want. I seriously didn't want this drama in my life. No sir-ey. Drama is not for me…. Hey! I just rhymed… Oh well; that's beside the point.

Leo finally stopped crying and I realized it had been about 15 minutes. Geez babies really do take away your time don't they?! I placed him in the blue bassinet sitting next to me and sat back rubbing my stomach. One of my little peanuts were kicking. "Well hello baby." I said looking down at my stomach. "I messed up didn't I?" the kicking stopped and I frowned lying back placing a hand over my eyes. "Yeah I really did."

I stayed sitting and thinking for about 15 minutes and was about to get up when Maxon came in. "Hello darling how are you." He kissed me on the cheek and then sat down across from me.

"Not good." I said nibbling on my lip and looking down. "I made a big mistake."

"What did you do this time?" I sent a glare at him so sharp it could cut grass "kidding, kidding." He said in mock surrender.

"I haven't really been doing many family things you know? I mean May is mad at me and I can see why. She's cooped up in this place with no one her age and doesn't get to see her friends as much and oh I don't even know!" I said covering my eyes and sighing.

"Maybe you should go talk to her." I scoffed at him rolling my eyes. "What I'm serious. Talk things through and work it out. Now."

I narrowed my eyes. "Hey you're not the boss o-"

"Now."

He got up and walked over to me helping me up. "Okay but what about Leo?"

"I can take care of him." He said looking to the basinet.

"You sure?"

"Yessss! Now go before I pick you up and carry you there."

I took a minute to think about this. "Well my ankles do hurt quite a bit. Sooo-"

"GO."

"Okay, okay geez, no need to be so feisty. I'm supposed to be the feisty one." I laughed walking out but then started to walk slower the closer I approached her room. I mean I could do this. I am a queen after all. And queens must do what is right and do it with poise and their head held high. I took a deep breath and kept walking. I also gave myself a peep talk of sorts. I may be queen but my self-confidence levels were at an all-time low at the moment.

Come on America you got this.

No; no you don't have this.

Yes you do

Nooo. No you don't.

She's just your sister.

Yeah but she's a feisty little bugger.

You're older.

She's smarter

You're stronger

I'm pregnant.

You're fatter; sit on her

Thanks myself. Really needed that self-confidence boost!

Anytime.

I shook my head clearing my thoughts both offended and a bit agitated. Okay. I knocked quietly a couple of times and when she didn't answer I went inside. "May. You okay?"

"I don't want to talk to you."

I sighed and walked in crossing my arms. She was sitting on her bed in a nightgown playing with her long hair. "Too bad cause I want to talk to you." I walked over to the bed and sat down, with much difficulty I might add. "I'm sorry." She still wouldn't look at me so I reached over and started tickling her. She couldn't hold in the laughs and started screeching and thrashing wildly about.

"Ames! Stop! STOP!" I stopped and laughed sitting back exhausted and looked at her. "You know you can't just tickle me and think that it's all ok." She said looking over to the side.

I pulled a pillow onto my lap and looked down at it picking at it a bit. "I truly am sorry. Really I am May. Please forgive me."

She looked at me for a minute, sighed, and looked back to the side. "Fine. Whatever, you're forgiven. I can tell you're serious its fine."

It was silent for a few minutes and then finally I had a good idea and looked over at her calmly. Okay I'm lying I was like jumping up and down because I had a good idea. "May! MAY! Guess what?"

She struggled to get up and said "What Ames? What?"

"You'll see. Meet me tomorrow at 10 in the morning tomorrow."

"Why? What are we going to do?"

"You'll see." I said taking her hand and squeezing it. I got up and started to leave.

"Wait a second. What?!" she reached for my hand trying to grasp it but I was already leaving.

"Tomorrow at ten! Be there." I yelled leaving her dazed and confused.

I woke up and got dressed in some loose jeans, a big white shirt, and a blue sweater. Maxon was still awake so I walked over and kissed his forehead. As I turned to leave and he reached out and grabbed my hand. I jumped and threw a hand to my heart. "You scared the peanut butter out of me!"

"What?" he barely opened his eyes and looked at me confused.

"Sorry." I looked down sheepishly, "I had toast with peanut butter on it this morning."

He laughed and pulled me towards him. I stumbled and sat, perched on the edge of the bed while he sat up. He pushed my hair behind my ear and cupped his hands around my face. I looked down as he pressed his forehead to mine. I brushed my hands against his bare chest and started tracing the lines of his abs. My gosh was I lucky! "I like your chest."

"You like my what?" He laughed and looked down at where my hands were. He looked at the pretty low-cut shirt I was wearing and nodded approvingly. "I like your chest too." I could feel my cheeks heating up immediately and looked down. Throughout my pregnancy my chest had indeed gotten quite larger and my shirt showed a 'nice' amount of cleavage. I hadn't even noticed till then and felt suddenly self-conscience. I went to whack his head and he ducked laughing, his shaggy hair swishing around. He grabbed my hands and held them up above my head. He blew some hair out of his eyes and smiled. My face was still burning and I refused to look at him. I felt his hand that wasn't holding mine go to my stomach and my eyes snapped open.

He wouldn't dare.

His hands began to move over my stomach fast and lightly as he tickled me. I started laughing and couldn't stop. Tears gathered in the corners of my eyes and started streaming down my face. "Maxon!" I got out. "Please….Stop!" he stopped and used his hand to wipe off my cheeks. I sat still doing a sort of hiccup laugh thing for a minute but then got up.

"Where are you going?"

"Bathroom," I said over my shoulder. "Thanks to you, and this baby who constantly sits on my bladder, I'm about to burst." I slammed the door shut and relieved myself as quick as I could. When I walked out, Maxon was waiting by the door in just a pair of boxers. He was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest, his legs crossed, and his head down. His long hair covered his eyes like it usually did but the way it was made him look a lot younger than usual.

"You good now?" I nodded my head as he looked up and crossed my arms over my chest suddenly embarrassed, again, about what he said about my chest. I don't know why I always get nervous around him. I mean he is my husband… but I guess it has to do with the fact that I don't ever want to disappoint him.

"I'm fine. I might change though." He looked at me confused. "I mean I might have to much," I gestured to my chest, "showing."

He walked over to me, bent down, and gave me a passionate kiss. I startled to melt into it but he pulled away. "I think you look amazing. I quite like how that shirt makes you look." He smirked and my face began to heat up for like the fifth time.

"It's not too much?" he took a step back and placed a hand on his chin beginning to stroke his chin. He gave me a good look and then came closer giving me a wink.

"I actually don't think it's enough."

I giggled and slapped his arm playfully. "Well I'm sorry to tell you but I'm going out and that would just be improper." I kissed him playfully on the lips.

"Well we wouldn't want you to be improper would we?" I shook my head playing along and leaned in close to his ear.

"No. Never improper. I mean at least never outside of this room." I whispered and pulled back. I grabbed my purse and left out the room making sure too swing my hips more than normal. He was left shocked and I was left to go get my baby sister.

I got to the entrance just 2 minutes before 10 and waited for May. I wasn't positive she would come but knowing how curious she usually is I knew there was a good chance she'd show up.

I was right and she arrived at exactly ten wearing jeans, a pink sweater, and some knee high boots. Her hair, like mine, was down and was in soft rings of curls. She didn't look terribly happy but she also didn't seem angry. A maid brought us out our coats and told u the car was waiting when we were ready. "Good morning." I said biting my lip.

"Morning." She replied zipping up her coat. I was having trouble getting mine zipped and started to get tears in my eyes. "Ames what's wrong?"

"I-I-I'm ju-just so-o-ooo fat!" I cried wiping my eyes and giving up on the zipper. I heard laughter beside me and saw May coming closer. She moved her hair behind her ears and looked up at me smiling.

"You aren't fat Ames."

"Ye-yes I a-am." I sniffled, my words coming out in gasps as I hiccupped. Damn these pregnancy hormones.

She laughed taking one of my hands. She placed it against my stomach putting one of her hands on my stomach too. "You feel that?" One of the babies squirmed and I smiled a little.

"It moved."

"Yeah Ames that's what babies do." She said sarcastically. I gave her a pointed look but her face softened and lit up. "You know what else babies do? They grow." I looked at her still sniffling and hiccupping. "And you have two of those in you Ames! You aren't fat; you're just being a home for your children so that they can grow up a little, be healthy, and come meet us when they're all ready." I looked down at my tummy and felt another kick. "I personally think that it's beautiful and you look absolutely glowing." I squeezed her hand feeling much better.

"Thank you May." I gave her a big hug and wiped my eyes. "Do you forgive me?" I asked into her shoulder. She laughed and nodded her head.

"Of course I do silly. You're my sister and we're going to fight sometimes but that's life. It's not all rainbows and gummy bears. Sometimes a storm is going to come. It won't be pretty and someone might get a bit hurt, but afterwards there will be bright happy sunshine and we'll move on with life. I smiled and pulled away taking her hand.

"C'mon May. We're going shopping for something very special."

When we got to the secret place, I made May close her eyes until we got inside. When she opened them, her expression was priceless. "Are you serious?" I nodded my head smiling at her. "Are you sure it's okay."

"Of course. I already talked to Maxon and he said he was okay with it. He never had one as a child so he's actually pretty excited himself."

"Which one's mine?" She looked around at all of them eyes wide.

"You choose." I said gesturing around the store. She ran and hugged me tightly. I looked down surprised and ruffled her hair.

"Thank you." She said softly.

"Um hum. There are some perks to being the Queen." She looked up at me. "I always get my way."

"I don't think that's because you're the queen." I looked down at her, "I think its cause you've got some nice boobs." I could practically feel how red my face was.

"May!"

"Hey I'm just telling it like it is." She started to walk away looking at everything.

"What do mean by that?"

"I mean what I said Ames. I imagine you really do know what I mean judging by the cut of your shirt." I looked down. Seriously were they that out there?

"Is it really that bad?'

She looked back smiling at me. "Let's just say I would kill to have knockers like yours." I stared at her in shock with my mouth open. "And I bet Maxon doesn't mind it too much either."

"MAY!"

"What?" she looked back at me innocently."

"For your information, what Maxon thinks of my breasts are none of your business and also don't call them knockers! It doesn't make me feel better at all when you call them that. I don't think it would make any girl feel good if you called them that." She shrugged her shoulders.

"Eh. I wouldn't care. If someone said I had nice knockers, I would look them in the eyes and say 'Damn right I do.'" I slammed a hand against my forehead. Since when had my innocent little sister become so corrupted? Ugh. I took a deep breath and was just about to go over to her when my phone rang.

"Hello this is America speaking."

"America I have exciting news." The person on my phone yelled into my ear and I had to pull it back

"Elise is that you?" I asked laughing. She squealed and I held the phone away again. "What's going on?"

"I'm a mommy now!" I couldn't even speak. "America are you there?"

"Yeah." I stuttered a grin spreading across my face. "I'm just surprised. You weren't due for a couple of weeks I thought."

"I know! She came early though." There was some rustling and I heard her say thank you to someone. "America I had a little girl."

"Oh Ellie that's amazing! I'm so happy for you. What did you name her?"

"Victoria." She said softly. "I had her two nights ago."

"And I'm just finding out about this now?" I laughed.

"I've been a bit busy." She said sheepishly.

"I'm just joking with you Ellie but I'm so glad you and the baby are safe and healthy. I have to go. I'm out with my sister but please promise to send some photos okay." She agreed and I hung up ecstatic for my friend. We had both come a long way from the selection.

"Ames I want this one." I snapped my attention over to my sister and smiled. I think what she picked out would be perfect. We paid and left both of us beaming. On our way home, I looked over at May. "What are you going to name it?" She looked down at the shitzu puppy sleeping on her lap thinking.

"Ushi."

"I like it. What does it mean?"

"It means ocean. In her little kennel, everything was set up like a beach so I think it might be calming to have a name like that." I nodded my head petting Ushi's head.

Everyone loved her when they met her. Especially Astra. She's especially happy that it's smaller than her. Now two things are smaller than her. Her brother and Ushi.

That night I went to check on May and found her asleep with Ushi curled up near her neck. I pulled a blanket over her and kissed her forehead goodnight.

I walked up to my room and put on a silk night gown. I padded over to the window and looked outside around my house and saw a flash. I turned around to find Maxon with his camera. "Again?" I chuckled.

"You know I like to get one each month." He said shyly moving some hair out of his eyes. I posed for him by the window so that he could get a good picture of my belly. I waddled over to him to look at the picture and kissed him slowly.

"I love you. You know that?" he nodded his head smiling slightly and I started to play with his tie. "So I was very proper today." He looked up at me.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yep." I went to kiss him and did something no girl should ever do in front of a man. I freaking farted. I, American Singer Schreave, just tooted in front of my husband. I tried to play it off because it wasn't really loud and turned to Maxon who made a strange face. Wow America good job being seductive. You're real talented at this whole 'being sexy' thing. He laughed and took my hands.

"Was that you?"

"No!" I was so embarrassed. "It was… um… one of the babies." Sometimes I'm so stupid that I even surprise myself. I buried my head into my hands and wouldn't look at him.

"Ames its fine." He was laughing softly "It's a natural thing."

"Stop talking." He laughed out loud and tried to cover it with his hands but couldn't. "You're making it worse!" I cried.

"I'm sorry Ames. It's just kind of funny." I peeked my eyes through my hands and felt defeated.

I moved my hands and looked down. "Please forget this happened."

"What happened?" he smirked and I smiled lightly. "C'mon lets go to bed." He stripped down to boxers and helped me into the high bed. I rolled over and he took a running jump onto the bed. I started laughing at his childish ways and he rolled over to me. I kissed him hard tangling his hair in my hands. He kept his hands on my hips as we rolled over and I placed my legs on either side of his. He sat up to where it was like I was sitting in his lap and kissed my nose. "I love you Ames." I took his face in my hands and kissed him softly "I love you too." We both lay down and he rubbed soothing circles on my back. "Goodnight love." I buried into his chest and fell asleep pretty much using him as my bed. A very good smelling, good looking, sexy, bed, but still yet; a bed.
