Piper arrived a little early to pick Pauline up from her audition for the dance squad, so she read the magazine she had gotten a few days back. When Pauline came out Piper got out of the car to greet her.
"Hey babygirl, how'd you do?" asked Piper. Pauline ran to hug her.
"I made it! I made it! They want me to be co-captain with Megan!" she screamed. Megan had been Pauline's best friend since first grade, so Piper knew how happy she must be.
"Oh that's great!" said Piper, picking her up and swinging her around. "Let's celebrate!"
"How?" asked Pauline.
"Let's go shopping! I'm sure you'll need some new dancing outfits and maybe we can get you sports bras to dance in," said Piper.
"Yay!" hollered Pauline, jumping in the passenger's seat.
After two hours of shopping, they check out with three dance outfits, a five pack of sports bras, two hoodies and two pairs of sweatpants to practice in, and Piper got a new robe and some more of her favorite perfume.
They got home and carried in all the bags to find Leo and Adam playing some playstation game in the living room. Leo turned around upon hearing them enter.
"Woah, somebody went shopping," he said as he noticed the huge bags.
"Just nessacary things," said Piper as they walked to Pauline's room.
"Sure," said Leo, rolling his eyes and laughing.
They continued playing their game and Piper left Pauline to try on her new things.
Piper walked back into the living room.
"Adam are you ready to go to Brandon's? Remember you're going to spend the night," said Piper.
"Yeah mom," said Adam. "I'll go get my bag ready."
"Alright," said Piper, watching him run back to his room.
"Hey hunny," said Piper, as she climbed ontop of Leo.
"Hey baby," said Leo, as he rolled on top of her on the couch. He kissed her passionately.
"Adam's going to Brandon's," said Piper between kisses. "Pauline's going to Megan's."
"Ah," said Leo. "The house to ourselves."
******************************
"Bye sweetie," Piper called as Pauline ran to Megan's moms car.
"Bye mom!"
They turned and faced each other. He swooped her up in his arms as they ran to the bedroom. He sat her on the bed and they both fiercely clawed their clothes off. Piper laid back and Leo climbed on top of her. He began by kissing and sucking her neck and down to her chest. He slowly began to move her legs apart.
"Easy," said Piper. She was still sore from the last few times she and Leo had been trying to conceive.
He moved into her and began pumping into her. She moaned loudly and he went a little faster. Then Piper rolled over and got on top. She lifted her self up and down on top of him. He moaned looudly and then got back on top just before he cummed into her.
"Oh god!" she moaned as she had an orgasm.
He took a deep breath and then sighed. They were both tired. He pulled out of her and laid beside her. He looked over to her and stroked her cheek.
"God, you are so beautiful," he breathed. She smiled and rested in his arms.
**********************
"K, guys get up!" called Piper from the hallway.
Adam sleepily walked out of his room.
"Mom," he said yawning. "I don't feel good."
"Aw," said Piper. "Let me feel your forehead."
Piper touched it and gasped.
"Oh my goodness, you are burning up. You have a fever," said Piper.
Instead of responding, he dropped his blanket and his face went blank. Piper knew that face. She picked him up and quickly carried him to the bathroom just in time for him to throw up into the toilet.
"Mommy," said Pauline from the doorway. "I think I'm going to be sick."
"Go to Mommy's bathroom, okay?" Piper said quickly. "LEO!"
Leo came in.
"Stay with Adam while I check on Pauline," said Piper. "I think whatever they have, they gave to each other."
Piper walked back to her room and into the bathroom, where Pauline had just thrown up.
"Oh goodness," said Piper. "Honey, tell mommy what hurts."
Pauline wiped her mouth and pointed to her stomache. Piper flushed the toilet and brought Pauline to the living room. She put a mini trash can beside her so she wouldn't puke all over the floor.
She walked back to the bathroom, but Leo and Adam had left. She walked to his room, where Leo was standing beside Adam who was in his bed.
"Okay, we gotta get him to the living room. Whatever germs he has, they are growing in here. He'll never get better," said Piper. Leo picked him up and brought him into th living room while Piper got fresh blankets and pillows and a trash can for Adam in case he didn't make it to the bathroom.
"Hun, you are going to be late for work," said Piper. He looked hesitant to leave.
"I can call in sick," said Leo.
"No, baby. I got this, just go to work. We'll be fine," said Piper.
"I'm going to call in," said Leo.
Piper rolled her eyes but she loved that he cared enough to do it.
"Okay," said Piper. "I'll be right back. I'm going to get medicine. I think it's the flu."
Leo nodded and took his jacket off and pushed his sleeves back.
Piper returned with nausea medicine, chicken soup, and the children's flu medicine she'd gotten for flu season.
"Okay guys, time for medicine," said Piper.
They both groaned and reluctantly took it while made the chicken soup.
After the soup was done, they both ate a little, and fell asleep from the medicine. Piper sighed.
"I hope it's a 24 hour thing," said Piper. "Honey, you should go to work. I've got this."
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yes. You and I both know if you stay home today, you're gonna be really behind," said Piper. "I've got this."
He knew it was true.
"Okay," he agreed reluctantly. "But if you need anything or they need anything, call me, okay?"
"Yes, yes," said Piper, as he put his jacket back on and picked up his briefcase.
He left, and Piper went to the kitchen and got the disinfectant. She went to each of their room and sprayed it over everything. The beds, the doorknobs, and all their toys.
She sat in the chair and read her book while they slept. She couldn't do any of her daily cleaning, because she feared it may wake them up.
After about an hour, Pauline sat up and looked into the trash can and puked up both the medicine, and the soup.
"Oh, honey," said Piper as she patted her back while she was kneeled over the trash can. "Time for more medicine, I'm afraid."
Pauline nodded and obediently took it.
After a few minutes, she was asleep again, and Piper resumed reading her book.
**********************************
It had been three weeks since they started trying, and Piper had gotten a home pregnancy test today. They walked in bedroom and waited together after she'd taken it. Adam and Pauline were in there rooms playing with toys.
"I'm so nervous," she said sitting next to Leo.
"Me too," he said. "So what would you want? A boy or a girl?"
"I'd be happy with either, since we already have one of each," said Piper. "Pauline would want a girl, and Adam would want a boy."
"Well, one of them is going to be disappointed," said Leo with a smile.
"It's been two minutes," said Piper. She picked up the stick and they looked together. They immediately smiled and hugged and kissed.
"We're having a baby," said Piper, with tears running down her face in happiness.
Leo laughed and kissed her again.
Piper wanted to be absolutely sure, so she got an appointment with Dr. Hightower.
"So, how are we today?" asked the doctor as she sat her clipboard down.
"Well," said Piper, as Leo put his arm around her and squeezed her close to him. "We've been trying for three weeks to conceive, and we want to find out if it worked. We took a home pregnancy test, and it said positive. We just want to be sure."
"Awh, well let's just see," said Dr. Hightower. Piper noticed how tired she looked. The normally happy and young looking woman looked rather old. She wasn't much older than Piper, just one or two years, yet she looked to be in her late thirties.
After all the tests were done, she told them she'd call them the next day.
