Four months had passed. Unbeknownst to everyone Rick was still plotting to get rid of John. He knew he only had to wait a little while longer before he could finally execute his plan. Juliette and John had just celebrated Lexie first birthday last week. Lexie could walk and even say a few words now. Juliette was due in a few days. John had taken Lexie on the road with so Juliette could relax. John and Lexie were in his hotel room. Lexie was sitting on the floor playing with her toys. John was watching TV on the couch. Lexie stood up and went over to John's phone. She went to put her hand on it.
"Lexie no." He said. She went to reach for it again. "Alexandria daddy said no."
"Mama." She said. "Mama." "Mama dada." "Mama."
"Oh." "You want to talk to mommy." "Come here." "We don't need the phone to talk to mommy."
Juliette was on her laptop when she saw that she had a Skype call from John. She pressed the button to connect. She could see John and Lexie.
"There she is." John said.
"Hi." Lexie said.
"Hi little muffin." Juliette said.
"Brother." She said pointing to Juliette's stomach.
"He'll be out really soon."
"I bet you can't wait." John said.
"I can't." "I almost forget what it's like not to be pregnant."
"He'll be here before you know it."
"I know." She said smiling. "I just wish it was you who was going to be in the delivery room with me instead of Rick."
"I know." "Me to."
"I wish you could be here for the birth." "I want you both to meet him."
"We will as soon as we come back next week." "If you have him by then that is."
"I hope so." The dryer buzzed. "I gotta go."
"Ok." "Say bye to mommy Lexie. Lexie waved at the screen.
"Bye Lexie mommy loves you." Lexie blew her a kiss.
"Bye baby I love you."
"I love you too John."
Later that night John put Lexie her crib. He left for a few seconds and came back. He was holding a little box.
"Lexie." He opened it and a ring was inside. "This is for mommy one day." "I don't know which day yet but I hope she says yes."
The next afternoon Juliette was letting ready to make lunch. Suddenly she was standing in a puddle of water. She called 911 then she called Rick.
"Rick it's time." She said.
It only took her an hour to deliver this time. She woke up two hours later. She looked up and saw Rick holding Nick.
"Here Juliette." Rick said handing him to her. "Isn't our son beautiful?" Juliette ignored Rick and looked at her new baby boy who she was instantly in love with.
"Hi Nick." "I'm your mommy." "I love you."
Later that night Rick was in Juliette's room watching Juliette and Nick sleep. Nick started to fuss. Rick picked him up.
"It's ok." He whispered. "Daddy's here." Nick fell back to sleep. "Soon." "As soon as I get rid of the problem you, your sister and mommy will all come home to daddy." He kissed his forehead.
