The past month and a half had been so very busy for Kenny and Denise. They saw each other maybe three hours a day and Marisa even less. They both felt bad, but Christmas was busy for them.
"Denise?? I'm home!!" Kenny walked into the house dropping his briefcase. "Are you home, Babe? I need sex!!"
"Kenneth Fisher!!" His mother stood at the bottom of the stairs holding a sleeping Marisa. His eyes widened.
"M-Ma!." He stuttered, "What are you doing here?"
"Didn't Denise call you?" Lauren asked. Kenny shook his head.
"No. Where is she?" He asked.
"She collapsed during a photo shoot this afternoon." Lauren said, "They took her to the hospital." Kenny's eyes widened.
"What? What happened? Is she okay?" Kenny asked.
"I don't know the details, Kenny." Lauren said, "All I was told was that she collapsed. I have Marisa. You go see how she is."
"Thanks." Kenny bolted back out the door, with his heart racing

Denise sat in her bed feeling like an idiot. She fainted because she didn't drink enough water. She should have been drinking.
"Denise?" Kenny walked in. She smiled softly as she pulled her pants back on.
"Hey..." She said.
"What happened?" Kenny walked up to her. Concern was flashing in his face.
"I fainted." Denise said. He took her hand and looked at her, "The doctor said I could go home as long as I drank enough water. Remember how bad I was when I was pregnant with Marisa with the water thing? I was just dehydrated."
"Well, I'll force water down your throat." Kenny chuckled thinking back to when Denise was pregnant. She was in the hospital several times for being dehydrated, "Can you leave now?" Denise smiled and nodded.
"Yeah I can." She squeezed his hand as they walked out into the hallway. Denoise sighed softly. He wasnt catching on to the tiny hint she hand been dropping. He's a man. I need to spell it out for him, She though, "I'm pregnant." Kenny stopped walking.
"What?" He asked.
"I thought you'd get the hints I was throwing at you." She giggled softly. Kenny stared at her.
"You're what?" He mumbled. The colour hand drained from his face. She continued to laugh.
"I'm pregnant, Kenny. We're having another baby." Denise said.
"Really? For real?" He asked. She nodded.
"Yup." Denise squeezed his hand tighter with a smile, "I'm about six weeks along right now and I'm due August 10th."
"Oh my god." Kenny began to smile, "It happened. All our trying happened!"
"You're happy right?" She asked.
"Yes!!" He pulled her into a tight hug, "We've been trying. Of course I'm happy." Denise closed her eyes as she hugged him. Reliefe washed over her. "We need to keep the water in you for sure. This is a summer pregnancy." Denise groaned and pulled away.
"The worse." She smiled and looked into his eyes, "We're actually pregnant, Kenny. Really pregnant." He kissed her nose.
"I'm the happiest man alive, I think." He took her hand and walked out of the hospital. Okay, maybe the thought of becoming a father again scared him, but he and Denise had been trying for a few months and he did know this was going to happen eventually. A summer baby. This was going to be great.

Week 8
Kenny scooped Marisa up. She didn't fully understand what Christmas was but she understood that all these gifts were great. He smiled at her as she rubbed her eyes.
"Are you ready to see what Santa brought you?" He asked.
"Yes." Marisa said. Denise was in the living room with a camera waiting to take a picture.
"Come on then." Kenny ran into the room filled with presents. Marisa's eyes widened as Denise snapped off a picture.
"Come open your gifts." Denise said. Marisa ran into her arms.
"All?" Marisa whispered. Denise chuckled.
"Most I think." She said grabbing a red package, "Tear this open. It's from Grandma Flemming." Marisa poked the package. She wasn't too sure about it but then she tore open the paper and a stuffed bunny was inside.
"Bunny!" She gasped and hugged it, "Wuv it!" Kenny chuckled.
"you're going to love everything then." He pushed another package to her an picked up one, "This is for the baby." Denise smiled.
"The baby?" She asked picking it up. Kenny nodded.
"The baby. I saw it and I couldn't resist." He said. Denise opened up the package and pulled out a couple of rompers. One said 'Mini Rapper' and the other said 'Daddy's other job'.
"Oh Kenny!" Denise laughed, "You're such a nut." She smiled.
"No I'm not." He said, "Don't I get a gift?"
"You may me able to get one even though I am pregnant with your child." She said scurrying underneath the Christmas tree. Marisa began to squeal as she unwrapped a fisher price mini farm.
"Moo! Moo!" Marisa clapped her hands.
"That's right. Cows go moo." Kenny smiled at her. Denise picked up a small purple package.
"Here you go. It's from Marisa and I." Denise said. Kenny took the package and slowly began to tear open the wrapping. "Oh come on!" Kenny chuckled.
"Okay." He tore open the wrapping paper and opened the box. Inside was a gold watch. "Oh wow!" Kenny lifted it up and stared at it, "Is this a Rolex?"
"What does the watch face say, Silly?" She chuckled.
"Rolex." Kenny slid it onto his wrist. It fit perfectly.
"Then it must be then." She said, "Do you like?"
"I love it. Thank you." Kenny kissed his fiance softly.
"Me!!!" Marisa bounced. Kenny chuckled and scooped Marisa up.
"Thank you too, baby girl." He blew raspberries on Marisa's cheek. She squealed with happiness. Denise smiled softly as she put her hand on her stomach. This time next year they would be adding another set of laughter into this wonderful family. Denise couldn't wait.
