Week 12

Lily was pregnant. Lily was pregnant again. This was what they were going to try for this summer, but now…now she was pregnant. Bug was going to be a dad again. The thought was great.

"It figures that Maya will be in terrible two's when this baby comes." Lily chuckled as they waited for their turn in the doctor's office. Bug looked at her and nodded.

"Yeah." He said. Lily patted his leg.

"You okay, Darling?" She asked. Bug nodded.

"I'm just thinking about hr Bahamas." Bug said, "Do you still want to go?" Lily's eyes widened.

"God yes!" Lily laughed, "I'm so excited to go." Bug smiled softly.

"Good." He said as Dr. White walked out.

"Mrs. Va….ah…Lily." Dr. White said. Lily smiled softly and stood up with Bug, "I'm sorry. I can't pronounce your name."

"Mrs. V. or Lily is fine." She said.

"It's been awhile since I've seen you last." Dr. White said glancing at Lily's chart. "Nice age space between the two kids."

"That's what we thought." Bug smiled.

"How are you feeling, Lily?" Dr. White looked at her.

"Tired and sore more than anything." Lily admitted, "It's hard running after an one year old and trying to work full time."

"I'm sure it is. Any morning sickness?" He asked. Lily shook her head.

"It's passed already thank god." She said.

"Great." Dr. White said as he wrote down Lily's information and typed on his computer, "I'd say your due date is around August 28th, but let me run an ultrasound too." Lily grinned.

"That's great." Bug said, "two months before Maya's second birthday. Great timing." Lily clapped her hands.

"It's all me, Baby." She winked.

"I think it's me." Bug chuckled. Dr. White smiled at them.

"Let's get this ultrasound started, why don't we?" He asked.

"Yeah. I'm so excited." Lily said as she lay down on the table. Dr. White squirted the gel onto Lily's belly. She wrinkled her nose slightly.

"Okay, let's have a look at this baby." He said as a picture came upon the screen, "There it is."

"Oh wow." Bug whispered. Sure he had seen these before, but seeing the baby right there made the pregnancy more real for him. The baby seemed to be swimming all around.

"The heart beat is strong and I still stand by my August 28th guess." He said. Lily grinned brightly.

"Look at our baby, Bug." She said, "it's so beautiful."

"Or handsome." He smiled softly.

"Or handsome." She said. "Does the baby look healthy?" Dr. White nodded.

"It has a strong heart beat and it's growing to schedule." He said, "Congratulations." Bug looked at Lily. They were having a beautiful and healthy baby. Nothing could get better than this.

Week 14

Bug sat at the kitchen table watching Maya toddle around the living room. She was humming to herself. He chuckled softly.

"You sound beautiful, Butterfly." Bug said. Maya looked at him and smiled. Her big brown eyes sparkled with happiness. She was such a beautiful baby. It would be hard once she got dating age.

"Daddy, go." Maya went to the door and began to pound on it.

"You want to go out and play in the snow?" He asked her. She nodded. Bug got up and took Maya's hand, "All right. We need to put your snow suit on so you don't freeze your toes off."

"Toes." Maya giggled as she walked to her bedroom.

"Yeah. I like your little toes." Bug said. Maya plopped down on the floor and wiggled her toes in the air. She giggled wildly.

"Toes! Toes!" Maya giggled. Bug laughed as he pulled socks on her feet covering her wiggling toes up.

"We covered your toes up and now your little legs." He said.

"Legs!!" Maya kicked her legs in the air. Bug slipped her pants on and buttoned them up. He slipped her purple sweater on and grabbed her snowsuit and boots from beneath her crib.

"We can make a snow man. Can you say snow man?" Bug asked.

"'No man." Maya giggled. Bug smiled.

"You're getting so big, Butterfly." He said as he zipped the snowsuit up.

"Big!" Maya smiled as Bug got his boots on. He nodded.

"That's right. Are you ready?" he asked. Maya nodded. "Lets go then." He scooped Maya up and went out to grab his own jacket. "Daddy needs to stay warm."

"No no." Maya smiled. bug chuckled as he slid his jacket on.

"Yes yes. Let's go." Soon Bug and Maya were out in the snow. She giggled as Bug threw her into a pile of snow.

"Ahhhh!!!!" She cried with happiness. Bug started to roll a snowball in the snow. "Daddy, wook." Bug looked at Maya and she took a handful of snow and threw it at him. She laughed.

"Are you trying to make a snow ball?" He laughed.

"Daddy, 'no." She held up more snow.

"Okay. Let me show you." Bug knelt down and took a handful of snow. "You need to pack it down really hard and make it into a ball. Hold it in your hands and let it turn into ice to make it harder. Uncle Nigel taught me how to make a proper snow ball."

"Unca." Maya grinned. Bug chuckled.

"That's right. Uncle Nigel." He said showing her the snowball, "See? Here's snowball. You need to throw it really hard at someone, okay?" Maya nodded.

"Kay." She said as she put the snowball into her pocket.

"Come on. Let's make a snow man." Bug said. Maya dusted her hands up and followed her father. She watched as he began to roll snow into a big ball.

"'no man." Maya grinned as she crouched watching him.

"Yup. Next winter you'll be old enough and big enough to make a snow man all by yourself. You'll also have a little brother or a little sister to show how to make snow men." Bug smiled softly.

"Brudda sitha." Maya said as Lily pulled up the car in front of the apartment building. Maya's face brightened up. "Momma!"

"What are you two doing?" Lily asked as she got out.

"Making snowmen." Bug said.

"Yup." Maya said. Lily chuckled as she pulled her jacket tighter around her tiny bump.

"Do you need any help?" Lily asked. Bug shook his head.

"I think I can handle it." Bug said.

"Mama, wook." Maya said. Lily turned to Maya in time to get a snowball in the face. Maya squealed with laughter.

"Maya!" Lily cried. Bug laughed.

"Uh oh." Bug smiled.

"You put her up to this." Lily chuckled wiping her face off.

"No I didn't." He said, "I made a snowball for her and she saved it. She plotted this in her own little head." Lily looked at Maya who was still laughing. She ran to her daughter and scooped her up.

"You little devil." She kissed her daughter's cheek. Lily smiled softly. Moments like these she cherished. She couldn't wait to bring another baby into this family.
