Thanks to Kennedy's Friday Night Delight and SlaveToPetey for their reviews. I don't own anyone except Riley, Bailey, and Carrie if she is mentioned. Ajay and Joey belong to KNFD and Anna belongs to S2P.


Chapter 35-Who's Zoo Daddy

After a false labor scare last week, Bailey was ordered to take it easy until her due date in January. Her doctor told her that traveling back and forth between Orlando and Detroit was beginning to be stressful on the babies since Bailey was now six months pregnant.

There wasn't much she could do besides sit around the house, and either run her mouth to Alex when he came over to keep her company and help with Riley while Petey was at Can-Am helping Johnny once or twice a week, or continue planning the wedding.

"Hey Bay," Petey said walking into the dining room and giving her a kiss while rubbing her stomach, "What are you doing today?"

"I can't do much of anything, so I'm not doing nothing," Bailey snapped.

"I was wondering if I could take Riley to the zoo today," Petey asked unsurely, "Since she has got here, I really haven't gotten a chance to spend time with her by myself because Alex always has her."

"Sure, you can take her," Bailey smiled, "It'd be nice for you to spend time with her, I know she would probably like that too."

"Want me to call Ajay and Chris or Anna to come over and keep you company?"

"No, that's okay. I called my mom and she is driving down to help me sort out the invitations to send to people. I'm sure Ajay and Chris will pop in unannounced with Joey."

"I'm sure you're right," Petey laughed, "I'm going to wake Riley up and give her a bath. I wish you could come with us but you walking around all of that time might cause another false labor."

"I appreciate everything you have done, really I do," Bailey said standing up and giving him a hug, "I'm sorry if I seem bitchy lately, it's just I am tired of staying in the house."

"Don't worry about it," Petey said hugging her back, "It'll all be worth it in the end when the babies are here."

"Mommy mommy mommy," Riley yelled running down the hall and into Bailey's arms.

"DADDY," Riley said reaching out to Petey who took her in his arms and kissed her cheek.

"Did you sleep good," Petey asked.

"Yes," Riley said putting her head on his shoulder.

"Riley, want to go to the zoo with daddy today," Petey asked and Riley screamed and jumped out of his arms and began jumping up and down.

"I'll take that as a yes," Bailey laughed and Petey rolled his eyes.

"Come on munchkin, let's go get you dressed," Petey said picking up Riley before he carried her up the steps.

"Mommy go," Riley asked.

"No, she's not going," Petey answered, "Your brother and sister are giving her a hard time."

"Oh," Riley said as she splashed Petey and he laughed.

Petey finished giving Riley a bath and got her dressed. Before they left, they both said goodbye to Bailey and Petey grabbed the stroller and the diaper bag.

Petey was happy that he was able to spend the day with Riley because every time he was alone with her, she was sleeping.

"What do you want to see first," Petey asked Riley as they began walking up the hill.

"Monkeys," Riley said clapping her hands.

"Monkeys it is," Petey said wheeling her into the monkey exhibit.

Petey snapped pictures of Riley banging on the glass and smiling when the monkeys were chasing each other.

"DADDY KONG," Riley said pointing to a gorilla.

"Yeah, King Kong was a gorilla," Petey told Riley as he kneeled down and put his arm around her waist.

"Who that," Riley asked when it hit Petey that she thought the gorilla was Awesome Kong.

"King Kong is a movie character," Petey said, "But sweetie, Kong that works with mommy is a human not an animal."

Petey couldn't help but smile and pulled out his phone texting Ajay to tell her what Riley just said.

Hey Tink, I am at the zoo with Riley and she just mistaked a gorilla for Kia."

Pan, say what?

We were by the monkey exhibit and she pointed to a gorilla and said, "Daddy, Kong."

Are you sure she meant Kia and not King Kong?

I am 100% sure, she asked me who King Kong was when I told her that King Kong was a gorilla.

Wow, she is definitely Alex's daughter.

I'm going to finish daddy bonding day with her, do you guys want to come over later for dinner?

Yeah sure, we'll be there at five. Make sure you take a lot of pictures for me.

I will, take care Tink.

Bye Pan Man.

Petey strapped Riley back into the stroller and they walked around looking at the animals all day when she fell asleep.

Petey and Riley got back home and saw Chris' car in the driveway which meant that he, Joey, and Ajay were already at the house.

"BAY, WE'RE HOME," Petey said as Riley woke up when they went through the door.

"UNCLE PETEY," Joey said running down the hall and giving him a hug.

"JOE JOE," Riley yelled jumping out of Petey's arms and the kids took off up the stairs to go play in Riley's room.

"How was the zoo babe," Bailey asked wobbling down the hall and Petey couldn't help but laugh at how funny she looked.

"Riley mistaked a gorilla for Kia," Petey said giving Bailey a kiss.

Bailey started laughing and Petey laughed too, "Oh yeah, there's no denying that Alex is her dad," Petey said in between laughs.

"I can tell spending time with her made your day," Bailey said.

"I loved every minute of it," Petey said.

"Just think in three months, these two little rascals will be here."

"I can't wait."

"Neither can I, but I've been thinking."

"About," Petey questioned.

"Moving back to Windsor, we need a bigger house and since it is only a two minute drive. We won't be too far away from everyone."

"Let's start looking tomorrow," Petey said.

Bailey wrapped her arms around Petey and gave him another kiss.

"God, I love you," he said.

"I love you too."

House hunting sure was going to be an adventure when it came down to it, but the perfect house was out there, they just had to make sure they had it before the babies got there.
