By now Kate was very pregnant with Liam and Harley. It wouldn't be long before Liam and Harley were around. The nights of waking up during the night when one or both of the babies woke up were coming. Rick was more than set for his next round of fatherhood. Kate on the other was still in preparation mode.
"How are you doing today, darling?" Martha asked.
"I'm doing well. How are you, Martha?"
"I'm doing quite well, my dear."
Today Kate had off of work. Captain Montgomery wanted her to take some time off to prepare for the twins' impending arrival. This also provide Rick the opportunity to spend the day writing.
"So what do you and my son have planned for today?" Martha asked.
"Well Rick is supposedly spending the day writing to appease Gina and everyone at Black Pawn…"
"And you?"
"Just have another day of being pregnant while getting myself and things together for Liam and Harley."
Martha smiled, she knew full well what her daughter in law was going through. She had there herself once.
Kate knew that Martha understood. She also knew that she had lucked out to have such a wonderful mother in law just as Alexis was lucky to have Kate as her step mother. From the day that Rick and Kate said their vows it had been said that even though Kate wasn't Alexis' real mother, Kate was and is the closest thing to a mother that Alexis had.
"I know it gets tiring after a while, my dear…but it will be worth the wait when you hold your son and daughter for the first time."
"That's what I can't wait for." Kate admitted to Martha.
"All of us were like that, even your mother as she waited for your arrival all those years ago."
Kate smiled as she fondly remembered her mother. In the back of her mind, Kate wished her mother was around so she could meet all three of her grandchildren.
