After everything had faded out and drew to a darkened close, the light came on once again as Lilly now had found herself in bed with Eddie. It had turned out that everything had just been a nightmare, but the good thing was that she still was very much indeed pregnant; with their third child.

Sitting up in bed, Lilly breathed out hard. Though her thoughts ran deeply about the baby, she couldn't understand why she had that dream in the first place. As Eddie's hand softly touched her back, he also grew worried.

"You alright", as his lips kissed her cheek. Lilly too in a breath before flying back, " I dreamt that we lost the baby on Nicky's birthday", which prompted him to turn onto his side; so that he was now facing her.

Eddie then let his hand rest on her stomach, "The baby's moving, you're probably just under a lot of stress Lil. I'm not going to let anything happy to you, or our kids", as Lilly then felt his lips once again kissing the side of her cheek .Still she felt unsure after what had just occurred in her dream, but hoped that it wasn't a sign of anything negative.

However when the two went together for the sonogram; everything seemed to be find. The baby was growing normally, but when the night of Nicholas's birthday finally came around, everything had seemed to go smoothly. Not once did Lilly feel anything except the movement of her unborn baby, perhaps she had to let the bad dream pass.

Just after the holidays were over, the four of them went on vacation for a few days. Though it was at a resort in New England, the most that Lilly was enjoying was the indoor pool. While she stayed behind to teach Samantha how to swim; both Eddie and Nicholas hit the slopes. Though clearly the two were enjoying being out doing this, Lilly also was having fun.

She didn't mind being almost five months along this time, nor feeling odd about wearing bikini. Wearing one while pregnant, made Lilly feel beautiful while exposing her growing belly. However Samantha seemed to be curious about her unborn sibling as well. She would often rest her head there, whenever the baby started to kick.

On the other hand, Eddie also would do that in combination with speaking to the baby. Just an hour after being at the pool, Lilly was already entered the hotel room; with a very cranky Samantha in her arms.

When her daughter had woken up from a nap, the two then headed out to the slopes. From there she could feel the cold winds brushing against her pale cheeks. The place was pretty nice, but then both Eddie and Nicholas made their ways over to her.

"How did you get that scrap", she asked. Nicholas shrugged, "I tried to snowboard, and Daddy fell in the snow".

Eddie made a face, pretending to cover it up, before taking a hold of Lilly's hand. While doing other things at the resort, the two found that their marriage was only getting stronger. Even as the two went ice skating, they then stopped short; gazing to each other's eyes.

Very slowly their lips came together, before Lilly's hand went immediately to her stomach. His hand also went there as well, as the two felt the kicking of their unborn child. Looking up, Eddie was amazed, "We going to find out"?

"I want to know", she said before letting Samantha feel the kicks, "You feel that, that's the baby", she told her.

Samantha seemed to be extremely interested in her unborn sibling, as she giggled due to feeling the kicking; both parents each exchanged looks. As Nicholas saw what was going on, he also placed his hand there.

To Lilly, she knew her kids had brought her such love and happiness. She still couldn't believe that her little boy was now six; it had seemed like yesterday that she was first pregnant with him. Perhaps getting pregnant a third time wasn't so bad. Besides, Lilly knew that having a baby inside of her; made her feel more beautiful.

By the time they came back to the hotel room, Lilly sat in bed while both Samantha and Nicholas each rested their heads on her stomach. Eddie looked over, as he watched them bonding with their unborn sibling Then Samantha moved closer to him; before he held her in his arms. He also remembered first seeing her being born and how beautiful it was.

Releasing a breath, Lilly then gently stroked her stomach, "I always liked having a baby growing inside of me, and makes me feel different. Gave me hope, you know", as she then paused to look at both of their kids, "Sometimes I wished that I could see day to day what this little one is doing".

Eddie nodded softly, "Been wondering how your heart sounds to the baby from inside", as Samantha then continued to snuggle more against his chest. Lilly took in a breath, "Why don't you ask the doctor, when we go"?

With that said, she then fell into a deep sleep. Just after Eddie got the kids to sleep, he then climbed into bed; before leaning over to kiss Lilly's stomach. He couldn't wait until the baby was born, but for now dreamt about how life would be with their third baby in the house.

By morning, Lilly was snuggling into his chest; while still very much in a deep sleep. As she continued to dream away; in the next room Samantha was cuddling with her brother. They were pretty close with each other, but Nicholas was probably the best brother anyone had ever seen. He seemed to take care and protect his baby sister.

Somehow they left the resort to head back home, but when they did; Lilly started to shop for the baby. Though she basically had everything from a crib down to a stroller; she still had wanted to buy some clothes.

When the day of her appointment had finally arrived, they went together. As they all saw the baby on the screen, Lilly kept on taking slow, even breaths. She couldn't to think if her dream really had meant something or was it just a form of her stress?

"Do you want to know the sex", the doctor then asked? Eddie nodded as the transducer waved around a few times, "It's a girl", seeing the reaction of both of the parent's faces.

Stepping forward Nicholas looked up at the screen, while the doctor continued to finish up the sonogram. Just moments after it was finished both Eddie and Lilly each shared a small kiss, "I'm proud of you, gave me another reason to be proud of".

His hand then gently wiped off the gel, before bending down to plant a kiss. However it was plain clear that Nicholas didn't want another sister, for that he basically hid in his room. Somehow as the adults were talking, Lilly saw him slap Samantha hard. That made her pick up her daughter into her arms, "Enough Nicholas, you do not slap your sister".

"I don't care, I hate girls", he said, "and that one", pointing to her stomach. Lilly sighed softly, before seeing Nicholas kicking some of Samantha's toys; which only caused the one year old to cry even harder.

Just then Eddie came into the room, after seeing the fit that their son was doing, before yelling at him loudly. He didn't stand for rude behavior one bit, but certainly didn't like his son's attitude. However grounding him wasn't going to simply take away; what Nicholas was now feeling. Somehow Lilly, was the one who knew he needed right now.

"You are still my little man, I'm never going to love you any different than I do now", she said, "I know that when you see this one; you will be all over her".

Nicholas shook his head, "The baby will cry a lot and wake me up", and he pouted. Lilly smiled, "You don't think you did that when you were that little, all babies cry".

He still wasn't that convinced about having another little sister, but upon getting up Eddie met her into the doorway, "We have to find a bigger place, at least an apartment with three bedrooms. He needs his own room, the girls can share theirs".

Lilly knew that her husband was right; but then Eddie then handed her a key, "I did just that, bought our first house. Been working on it but now we can move in", seeing how her face lit up. She still couldn't believe that he did that, "How, we don't have the money".

"Let's just saw it's my after wedding present to you", giving her kiss, "Has a nice yard and a pool, everything our family needs".

This time packing up was made easier than had imagined, but when their car pulled down their street; which was adored with older homes. Lilly felt her heart beginning to pound, she was nervous about owning a home for the first time.

Keeping her eyes closed, she also felt the excitement of starting a new life with her family. After stepping out of the car; Lilly's eyes opened as she saw just how beautiful her home was. It was a big white three story home; with a bay window in the front.

Turning slightly the two then shared a small kiss, "I thought that you would say that", as he then picked her up bridal style, groaning while carrying her over the threshold. One look inside made Lilly become breathless.

Cherry colored paneling ran through the lower level, as she looked around. The kitchen was also large with marble countertops and an island in the center. It leads out to a large deck, but when she went upstairs Lilly peered into the master bedroom. That as well was big with a walk in closet and a huge bathroom.

The other rooms were perfect sized, except that she had found one the doors to be locked. Eddie then came up from behind, "Later", escorting her downstairs while the movers continued to move all their stuff in.

Later on after the kids had gone to bed, Eddie wrapped his arms around her stomach, "So is this place perfect"?

"You're a tricky guy, but that's one the reason for why I love you so much", as their lips came together. Very slowly, he then led her upstairs. Little did she know that what was inside of that room would be his baby shower gift to her?
