Roseanne's eyes shifted from Becky to Mark back to Becky. They had called to let her and Dan know that they were going to be visiting because they had news.
Dan noticed that both Becky and Mark were doing the things they did when they were nervous. Becky wringing her hands, looking anywhere but at them, and Mark rubbing the back of his neck ever so often.
"Well…we probably want to wait till the rest are here."
"You could have asked for a day off." Mark raised an eyebrow as he heard his little brother's voice sound more agitated than ever. David and Darlene walked in with Harris in David's arms, her little curls peeking out from the little hat that his niece had.
"I'm not taking our daughter to meet your mother."
With that one sentence voices started overlapping one another.
Mark saw David looking at him for help, as he sighed. Taking Harris into his arms as he smiled down as his adorable niece who immediately started moving her hands wildly.
Dan sighed looking from the two on one shouting match that David was stuck in with Roseanne and Darlene. To Becky and Mark who were looking at him giving him nervous smiles.
Taking in a breath, "Darlene, David you two can finish your argument later. Rosie remember, the kids have something to tell us….. and DJ...what are you doing?"
Everyone glanced in the direction of the teen as he blinked at them holding the phone to his ear and covering the receiver. "I don't want Geena to find out I live in the circus that is this house."
Becky subtly nodded her head in agreement, remembering the first time Mark met her parents, and how badly she just wanted to leave for their date.
DJ felt his face flush as he noticed everyone was still looking at him minus Becky and Mark who were softly talking to Harris. "Why are all of you still looking at me, they're the ones who have something to tell us." Muttering as he noticed the slightly panic nervous look on Becky's face.
"Thanks, partner." Mark sighed his hands on his wife's shoulders, as their niece sat on Becky's lap.
"Well, what we want to tell you…"
"Oh dear, I can believe I'm going to be a great grandmother again." Bev announced as she walked in with Jackie and the boys walking in after her.
Roseanne's eyes widened, as she turned towards Darlene, "You're pregnant again?"
Darlene scoffed, "no."
David turned to look at Mark and then to Becky.
Becky bounced her leg, one arm holding Harris while she reached up to gently pat Mark's hand.
"Where pregnant,...well Becky's pregnant….we wanted to tell you...but guess we were beaten to the punch." Mark softly rambled, sitting down behind Becky. Leaning over to gently place his chin on her shoulder.
"Mom?"
"That's great, knowing how you two have been trying for a baby…..but one thing Rebecca."
Becky groaned as she heard her full name being said.
"How come your grandmother knew before me and your father."
"Jackie!" The blonde directed the questioning at her aunt.
"I know you, and Mark told me not to tell anyone else. But I usually ended up saying things that I was sworn to secrecy about unconsciously." The brunette explained.
"Like that time I told your mother about how Mark got drunk at the lobo after your dad told me not to tell her……" Pausing as she noticed the slightly horrified look on Mark's face.
"She knew…" Mark whispered into Becky's neck hiding his flushed face the best he can.
"I think we can all take this time to agree to never tell Jackie a secret." Roseanne folded her arms.
There was a moment of silence before the kitchen was filled with laughter.
"Half of lanford, probably would have known that we are expecting, if Becky would have told you first." Leaning back in the chair as he smirked as Becky added on, "Mom there has always been a reason why we usually kept things from you."
Darlene nodded, giving her older sister a barely noticeable smile, "You give town crier a totally different definition."
DJ, laughed and then crossed his arms, "Geena's dad still doesn't really think fondly of you."
Dan laughed as he watched Roseanne's face as the kids trade jabs at her.
The original topic of discussion being brought up once again, as Mark leaned his head against Becky's. "Can't wait to see you, with our kid, Becks."
Dan placed an arm around Roseanne's shoulders. "Grandparents again, Rosie….we are getting old. Next thing you know the grandkids are visiting us in the nursing home, the kids decided to stick us in."
"So Becky, Mark. Are you hoping for a boy, or a girl."
Sharing a glance as they turn to look at their family again, "We will be fine with either, although Becky is hoping we get a boy." Mark grinned at the last part, as his wife playfully rolled her eyes.
Becky fixed Harris's hat, as she gently played with her niece's curls, "I just hope if we do have a boy he has Mark's eyes."
Becky sighed, as she leaned back into Mark they were home. After being congratulated for what was the tenth time by her grandmother. Her and Mark decided it would be best to leave back home to their apartment in Evanston. The blonde curled up against her husband more, as she felt his finger tips gently skim against her hip.
"DJ's right our family is a circus and my mother the ringmaster of it all." The blonde mumbled, kissing Mark' shoulder as she heard a soft hum.
"Let's just promise to each other right now, that we will never make our kid feel like they will need to hide...us..." Mark trailed off as he snuggled Becky more.
"I love you, hunny" Becky sleepy muttered against his shoulder. As he smiled, running his fingers through Becky's hair as his blonde was now softly snoring.
