Just For you to Know: I own no one.
FEW WEEKS LATER: Paul, Kris, Ally and Maria were on there way home and Stephanie was home. She wasn't feeling so well so she decided she'd spend the day all by herself.
"Daddy, can you drop me off home before we get the food?" Kris asked.
"Why?" He asked looking at her in the passenger seat.
"Well I have to go to the bathroom and I want to make sure mommy's okay." Kristina smiled.
"Alright." He said pulling into the driveway.
"I thought you said we'd get something to eat first." Alyssa said.
"Yeah, I'm hungry!" Maria whined.
"Kris is going to go check on mommy then we'll go." Paul said.
"Okay see you in a few." Kristina said getting out and walking in the huge house. She didn't hear anything so she went strait to the bathroom. She went upstairs to find Stephanie's room empty, so she went towards the bathroom and Stephanie turned around with something in her hand but as soon as she saw Kris she put it behind her back. "H...h...hi." Kris smiled.
"Hey what are you doing here?" Stephanie asked.
"Well I kinda live here and because you're sick I decided to come see you while everyone got dinner." Kris explained.
"Oh okay...bye." Stephanie said going to close the door.
"Wait." Kris said.
"What?" Stephanie inquired slowly.
"What was that?" Kristina pointed.
"What was what?" Stephanie pretended she didn't know what she was talking about.
"That, you put it behind your back. You can tell me it's not like I'm going to laugh or something." She chuckled a little.
"Um, it's...nothing."
"Mommy, remember that you said that honesty is the best policy."
"Kris, that's not fair." Stephanie said.
"Yeah it is." She said.
"Okay...well angel, I'm sorta pregnant." She bit her lip.
"You are?" Kris asked.
"Yeah." Stephanie said as Kristina hugged her tightly.
"Ma..."
"Yeah?"
"Can you make this one your last?" Kristina asked.
"I can live with that." Stephanie chuckled letting her daughter go.
"Wait, is this baby my whole or half sibling?"
"Are you asking if I know who the father is?" Stephanie asked as Kristina nodded yes in response. "Well I think daddy but then again I don't know how far along I am so I'm not all that sure."
"Oh." Kris looked down.
"If you can please keep this a secret for a while and then this'll be less chaos, so please?"
"Sure." Kris said as the doorbell rang.
"Don't tell daddy."
"Okay but I doubt it's him because he'd just walk in." Kristina said as they walked down stairs. They both went to the door and Stephanie opened it. They were both surprised to see who it was.
"What do you want?" Stephanie asked coldly. "I sent the divorce papers to your mom, so you have no reason to be here." Stephanie said.
"Can I come in?" He asked.
"This used to be our house." Steph said.
"But too bad it's not OUR house anymore." Kris said closing the door. He knocked again and she opened it.
"Look I have to speak to you Steph and alone." He said eyeing Kristina.
"Drew whatever you have to say to me you can say it in front of my daughter." Stephanie said.
"Well you all went for a check-up and your doctor said that he couldn't reach you, he said that we're pregnant." Andrew smiled.
"We're nothing." Stephanie said.
"What do you mean?" Andrew looked at her in her eyes.
"You are as stupid as you look." Kris mumbled.
"You didn't think I was going to just live my life crying over you did you?" Stephanie asked.
"Um..."
"No I wasn't." She said going to close the door but he had his foot in the doorway. "What do you want?"
"Don't tell me you're with your ex Paul!" He said getting angry.
"Drew, can you please just leave?" Kristina asked.
"Mind your business little girl." He said.
"That's my daughter you're talking to." Stephanie said.
"Look Steph, just please don't tell me you're with him." He asked still angry.
"Okay I won't tell you." Stephanie avoided eye contact.
"You don't need him...you need a real man!" He said making Kristina mad. Everyone should know that if you get her mad then all hell is going to break loose.
"My father, not a real man? Well correct me if I'm wrong." Kris started as he nodded yes. "While you and my mom were together, you were trying to have a baby, am I right?" He nodded yes again. "Well isn't it funny that my mommy finds out that she's pregnant right after her and my dad sleep together for the first time? Well my dad is way more man you'll ever be so before you go..."
"Kristina that's enough...wait for me in the living room." Stephanie said and Kris nodded. "Look, leave me and my family including Paul alone. We are over so you need to just..."
"It's always been about you, Paul and your three little bitches..." She slapped him and he looked at her like she was crazy. "Did you lose your mind while we were apart?"
"Get out!" She screamed as she attempted to close the door again but he stopped the door. "Andrew I'm serious!"
"I don't give a damn." He yelled.
"Kristi, call daddy." Stephanie yelled so she could here her, a minute later she came in with the phone.
"Here." Kris said handing her the phone.
"I'm not afraid of him." Andrew said.
"Paul where are you?" Stephanie asked.
"I'm about to pull in the driveway beautiful, why?" Paul asked.
"Because we have an unwelcome guest." Stephanie answered.
"Okay bye." He said taking the key out of the ignition. Ally and Maria got out following Paul to the door.
"I'm not afraid of Paul." Andrew said unaware Paul was behind him.
"Well I'm not afraid of you either." Paul chuckled placing the food in Stephanie's arms. "Ally, take Ri upstairs to wash up for dinner."Alyssa and Maria walked upstairs and Paul, Kristi and Stephanie looked at Drew. "Now I'd like you to leave my family, which Steph and I made out of love, alone now, right now."
"Listen..." Andrew started.
"No you listen, I'm asking nicely. I'm not throwing any punches, so obviously I'm restraining myself and before I lose control, I suggest you leave." Paul said.
"Andrew, just go." Stephanie said. Without words he turned around and left. He wondered if he knew about Steph's secret.
"You okay baby?" Paul asked.
"I'm fine." Stephanie smiled turning back into the house and he followed. They ate dinner and Stephanie made sure everyone was dressed for bed.
"Kristi, you sleep?" Stephanie asked with her head peeping through the door.
"No, not yet. I'm watching TV." Kristina answered.
"Okay, make sure you don't stay up too late." Stephanie said.
"Kay, are you going to tell daddy?"
"Well I have to." Stephanie said. "Good night angel."
"Night." She said as her mom walked over to Ally's room.
"Hey sweetie." Stephanie said walking into Alyssa's room.
"Hi mommy."
"Shouldn't you be asleep?" Stephanie asked smoothing he daughter's blonde hair.
"Can I just watch the ending of this?" Ally asked pointing to The Cosby Show.
"Okay...pinky swear." Stephanie said as her and her daughter sealed the deal. "I'm coming back to make sure you're in slumber sweet pea."
"We pinky sweared on it, I promise." Stephanie smiled and kissed Ally's forehead.
"Night." Stephanie said walking over Maria's room. She peeked in to find Maria on the floor sleep. Stephanie sighed and picked her daughter up and laid her on her bed. She pulled the covers over her and put the night- light, Maria didn't take no for an answer on having on. She kept the door slightly opened and then she walked back to Alyssa's room to see the TV flickering and Ally asleep. She turned the television off and walked to her room. Since Paul was sleeping, she took a long shower and by the time she got out it was about ten o'clock. She got dressed and laid down and fell asleep until about twelve. She couldn't sleep because she had to tell Paul. She turned around to see his broad back facing her. She placed her head gently on his side and he put his arm around her as he turned around still half sleep.
"Hey babe." He said rubbing his eye with his other hand. "What's wrong? You can't sleep?"
"No, 'cause I have something to tell you.'' Stephanie whispered.
"What happened sexy?" He asked now awake. She hesitated before answering.
"Well," Stephanie started.
"Go ahead."
"Well um," She started again but was silenced when they heard a knock at the door. "Come in." The door opened slowly and in walked Maria holding her rabbit by the ears. Sometimes that made Stephanie wonder if she loved the rabbit as she swore she did since she tortured it so.
"I can't go to sleep, can I sleep with you?" She asked.
"Come here." Stephanie said. She picked her up and placed her between her and Paul. Minutes after, Maria snuggled up to Paul and fell asleep.
"What did you have to tell me?" He asked.
"Um, I'm not sick." Stephanie started.
"You're...tired?" He asked.
"Guess again."
"Are you...?" He started kind of hoping she wasn't what it sounded like.
"Am I pregnant? Yeah, I am." She said resting her head on the pillow.
"Steph?"
"Yeah?" He thought about telling her his true feelings about the situation but he decided against it and kissed her.
"I love you."
"I love you too." She smiled but inside she was thanking God to the highest extent of thanking, he didn't even mention the possibility of the baby not being his.
He waited for Stephanie to give him a sign to whether she was sleep or not. After he got proof Stephanie was sleeping Maria snuggled up to Stephanie so he quietly got up and walked into the bathroom. He looked at his reflection in the mirror; did he make the right decision? Was he right keeping in his feelings? Well yeah, for the moment. Did he really love Stephanie? Well duh! He thought that maybe if he hadn't asked her for a divorce that maybe the innocent baby growing inside of her would be his, without any doubts. He pushed a few strands of hair that was dangling in his face back. He splashed his face with water and walked out of the bathroom. He looked at his love, which happened to be his ex-wife and their youngest who was named after her mommy. He sighed and he picked Maria up to bring her to her room, he didn't want her to get the habit of sleeping with mommy and daddy like their first, Kristina did. He put her in her bed and tucked her in but by the time he walked back into his and Stephanie's room he found Alyssa stretched out on his side. He lifted her and put her over his shoulder and was on the way to put her in her bed when he passed Maria on the way.
"Ri, where are you going?" He asked.
"I lost my bunny." She said sleepily.
"Go and get it and go back to bed." He said as she nodded yes. He put Alyssa in her bed and when he got back to his room Maria was snuggled up next to Stephanie. He sighed and walked down stairs to the kitchen. He got bottled water and an apple. He walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. Paul flicked the television on and flipped through a few channels before he stopped on Full House just to get mad at Bob Saget. He was a tall slinky annoying guy, Paul hated everything about him. He then turned the channel to a WWE Wrestling Fanatic special. Seconds after he started watching the special, there was a shadow standing over him. He didn't look up because he knew who it was.
"Why are you out here?" Stephanie asked after kissing his lips softly.
"Because our daughters, mainly Ally and Ri, don't know where their beds are." He said.
"Oh." She chuckled as he pulled her down in between his legs. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to his chest. "You know I love you right?" Steph asked.
"Yeah just like I love you too." He said nibbling on her earlobe making her giggle.
"Paul, are you okay?" Stephanie asked.
"Me, I'm fine...just a little worried." Paul said telling the truth.
"About...the possibilities and things like that..." Stephanie asked.
"Yeah, beautiful, I mean what if the baby isn't mines?" He asked making her look down almost regretting coming out of the room. "You know I'm going to be here for you no matter what, right?" He asked sincerely.
"I wasn't necessarily thinking you'd say that, I mean after all we went through and are going through I thought you'd just leave like any other man." She said. "Then again, you're not any other man." They fell asleep right there and Stephanie was and felt completely safe in his arms of comfort.
