Part 2 - News And Reactions

Soon after coming home, the two went to Aberdeen in South Dakota, Michael's hometown, and they were there to tell the family of their newest news, as their children knew of this already, as they were away to their mothers for the weekend.

And the kids were really exicted and happy for the two, and couldnt wait to see who it is was inside of Bella's stomach, as in sibling, as she was afterall pregnant with her first, but his 5th child. But that didnt matter to any of the two nor the kids either. They loved her like a mother more than just step-mother, and their own mothers had no issues with that either.

So as soon they arrived, they walked out back, as the family were having a late summer evening barbeque before autumn really would set in. As soon the kids of his other brothers and sister saw the two, they were over-rumpled by them and their hugs and kisses. Some of them also hung onto Michael's arms, who was smiling happily and grabbing ahold of them and took them up onto his shoulders, making them laugh happily too. Bella just smiled at the sight as the others went forward and hugged her tightly as they said

"Oh we saw the interview, sweetheart, you did well." Bella just smiled in the hugs of the other in-laws. As Michael let the kid of his shoulders and came to her side, and rubbed her back, as he said

"She always been a great one." Bella just smiled, and looked back up towards him, and he bent down and gave her a sweet kiss on her lips. She kissed him back, and rubbed back of his neck while doing so. The others just grinned as they were used to that happening. One of the kids said "Ew" And the two just laughed while both seemed to wear some secretive smiles too.

Mary-Ann, after a while of everyone calming down and sitting down again, Bella sat in Michael's lap for now, and his arms were around her middle, while she had a smile on her lips, said;

"So what was that you told Meghan in her ear before leaving the interview?"

Bella and Michael shared a look, then Michael said;

"We already have told the kids, but if everything still goes well, we are going to be 6 persons in the family by end of march, early april next year."

Gasps, then yells of what are you serious, omg, congratulations, and alot of hugs, kisses and tears of happiness too were shared soon after that.

"Oh Bells, you are going to add another loved baby into your family?"

"Yes, I am, and I am very happy and exicted to give this gift to Michael too, aswell Noah, Jasmine, James and Nate. I am finally also feeling like a human too."

"Oh dear, that bad?"

"I had to take her to the hospital for dehydration and overly vomiting issues last few weeks, but now finally at week 14 you are doing better, as the nausea left you finally."

Bella nodded, as the others were shocked but happy to hear it all gone well from now on at least, as Mary said

"Oh I wished you had called, I would helped."

"I know, Mama, but you are also busy with your work and other things, so I didnt want to disturb your sleep, for it was quite sleepless nights and days too. I am just lucky that Michael was able to drive safely to hospital and get me in, for I was that bad a few times."

Many of them nodded their heads at this, as Lesley said

"So you are 14 weeks now?"

"Well I am right now, 15 weeks along, as I changed the week yesterday. But due date is March 30th, but since this is my first baby too, I could go over the times aswell go earlier too. You never know when the baby wants to come out too."

"Oh so true, with my second daugther, I went earlier than due date, but she was all healthy and great baby."

Making some of them chuckle, as Matt said

"I remember us getting ours in the car, as we didnt made to the hospital, for our 3rd one had a rush to come out on his due-date."

More chuckling and the two just grinned happily and their hands joined onto her middle part, as Genevive, Ryan's wife to be, said

"You must be showing now then, Bells?" Bella smiled, as she stood, then pulled her shirt up and pants slightly down, and turned to her side, and there they all saw the bump, as one of the kids there, took a small hand up and rubbed it, as the girl said

"Baby?" Many smiled at this, as Bella looked down to her niece, and said

"Yes, sweetie, auntie Bella has a little baby inside of her. You are going to have another cousin soon." At the girl grinned widely showing of her tooth-less grin up to her, and said

"Really?" Bella nodded as the girl then wrapped her arms around Bella's legs and hugged them tightly, as Bella then went down to her knees and hugged the girl, as she said

"You are happy for auntie Bella and unca Michael?" The girl nodded eagerly and kissed Bella's cheek, then ran over to Michael and gave him the same gesture, while the others just grinned tearfully at that sight before them. Michael smiled at the girl and hugged her too. Then she took off back to the other children of theirs there. Bella stood back up and corrected her clothes and sat back down in Michael's lap.
