The rest of the week went by smoothly. Whitley and Dwayne had much more time to themselves because they didn't have to go to work. A plus for them when they decided to become teachers.

Brielle had spent some of the week at a sleepover at her friend Mia's house but soon returned home and just in time too. Tuesday morning New Year's Eve somebody knocked on the door and Dwayne was surprised to see who it was when he opened it.

"Ma!" He shouted.

There was his mother: Adele Wayne.

"Well aren't you gonna let me inside Jesus Dwayne it's cold out here." Adele said.

Upon arriving inside Whitley who was sitting on the couch smiled when she saw who it was.

Even though they had gotten off on the wrong foot Adele quickly warmed up to Whitley and was happy to have her as a daughter in law.

"Mrs.Wayne." Whitley said getting up. She gave Adele a hug as Dwayne took his mother's coat.

"Ooh I missed you all." Adele said she looked around the house. "Where's my grandbaby?" She asked.

"In her room probably." Dwayne said. "Brielle come here!"

"Oh Mrs.Wayne how have you been?" Whitley asked.

"Oh just fine, just fine." Adele said. "How have you been baby?"

"Fine, I needed a break from teaching for a while." Whitley said.

Brielle walked into the living room.

"Grandma!" She yelled and she ran to give her grandmother a hug.

Brielle was much closer to Marion considering the fact that she lived in the same town as Brielle. But whenever Adele came to visit her and Brielle had an amazing time together.

"Ooh sugar I missed you." Adele said squeezing Brielle tight. "My god you've been getting tall." Adele said as she pulled away from the hug. "What have you two been feeding her puberty for breakfast?"

Dwayne and Whitley laughed.

"Actually Ma you came just in time we're having a New Year's Eve party tonight." Dwayne said.

"Is that so." Adele said.

"Yeah everybody's gonna be here." Whitley told Adele.

"We just need to get some stuff for the party we were just about to leave." Dwayne said.

"Well no need for that." Adele said. "I'll get everything you need and while I'm at it Brielle baby put your clothes on we're going shopping."

Brielle smiled and ran to her room.

"I'll be in the car waiting." Adele told Dwayne and Whitley.

"Now that Brielle is leaving for I assume a couple of hours you know what we can do." Whitley said walking close to Dwayne.

Dwayne smiled grabbing Whitley's chin and kissing her.

"Oh I know baby." He said smiling.

Even though Adele said she was going to get everything Dwayne and Whitley needed for the party they wanted to be sure so they decided to take a trip to the grocery store.

"I can't believe a year has gone by so fast." Whitley said as her and Dwayne drove to the store.

"I know my god soon we'll have a 12 year old running around our house." Dwayne said.

Whitley sighed.

"She's growing up so fast it scares me before we know it she's gonna be in high school then she's graduating and out of our house."

Now Dwayne sighed.

"Damn Whit why'd you have to say that now I'm feeling old." Dwayne said.

"Oh Pookie you're not old." Whitley said. "At least not to me."

Dwayne smiled.

After getting almost everything they needed at the grocery store and then going to the department store to get Whitley a new outfit for tonight, Dwayne and Whitley got home almost 2 hours later.

The two cuddled up on the couch together Whitley resting her head on Dwayne's chest.

"Whitley babe?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm glad we'll be bringing in another year together." Dwayne said.

Whitley smiled.

"I'm glad to Pookie." She said closing her eyes.

Adele and Brielle returned home later that day to find the two napping.

————-later on that night————-

"You don't think I'm fat do you Spencer?" Kim said examining herself in the mirror.

The two were getting ready to head to Dwayne and Whitley's to go to their New Year's Eve party and Kim was feeling a tad bit insecure.

"No way baby." He said walking to Kim. He wrapped his arms around her waist. "You're the perfect size."

Kim sighed pulling Spencer off of her.

"I don't know I've just been feeling fat lately." Kim said sitting on the bed.

"Maybe you need something to put you at ease." Spencer said sitting next to her.

"Spencer." Kim said laughing she could never be upset whenever she was around him.

"Baby you're perfect in every kind of way so what you're a little curvy I like my women like that." Spencer said pulling Kim closer to him so she can be resting on his shoulder. "You're beautiful Kim."

Kim smiled.

"I'm glad you're smiling we got to go to a party remember." Spencer said and Kim continued to get ready.

The party started at about 8:00 and the party was going good.

Brielle showed Kim her Kitten, Ron, Spencer and Dwayne were talking guy talk, Marion and Adele were talking to Freddie about motherhood.

"See I could tell you were pregnant you have that pregnancy glow to you." Adele said.

"Is that a good thing or bad thing?" Freddie asked.

"Oh baby that is a good thing." Adele said.

Whitley walked over to where her husband and her friends were sitting.

"Oh my Whitley you're looking extra fine tonight." Ron said.

Whitley shot Ron a dirty look and sat on Dwayne's lap.

"Aye man don't make me tell your pregnant wife." Dwayne said.

"Yeah." Whitely said chiming in.

"We should all be happy another year of us being friends." Spencer said.

"You're right." Ron said.

"I wouldn't call myself Rons friend." Whitley stated.

Ron pretended to be fake hurt. Whitley rolled her eyes.

"Oh I'm just joking Ron, as much as I dislike the things you do and you as much I'm always here for you." Whitley said.

"Well, you said it as nice as you could." Ron said.

"Now here's the part where you guys hug." Dwayne said.

"Baby steps." Whitley said.

Spencer laughed.

It was 11:59 and everybody was counting down until the ball dropped. Everybody was with their significant others.

"5, 4, 3, 2!" Everybody chanted.

"1!" Everybody yelled.

Kim and Spencer took a shot of wine and then kissed, Ron kissed Freddie and then kissed her stomach and then Dwayne and Whitley of course had a makeout session.

Everybody watched Dwayne and Whitley makeout.

"Should we stop them?" Kim asked.

"Nah." Ron said.

"Whitley!" Marion said.

"Dwayne you know better." Adele said. "If you gonna make me some grand babies do it respectfully and do it in the comfort of your own bedroom."

Dwayne and Whitley looked at everybody watching them.

Dwayne looked at Whitley and smiled.

"At least we brought in the new year the right way." He said.

Whitley smiled.

"We sure did." She said.
