A/N: I'm back! First things first, I'm sorry for not updating last week. I posted something under the reviews so if you saw it you know what was going on. If you didn't, my laptop was taking its last gasps of life and needed to be replaced quickly. Luckily, I was able to save what I had written as well as my notes for future plotlines so we're good to keep going. Now back to business, thanks for reading, reviewing and following! I really appreciate it. This chapter picks up the following day from the last chapter. Hope you enjoy this update!

Bianca raised her head slightly, cracking her eyes open to glance at the alarm clock and saw that it would be sounding shortly. The brunette then gazed at Marissa and smiled softly when she saw her wife was still sound asleep and snuggled in front of her. Both had been so exhausted the night before that neither had moved the slightest bit after they had drifted off to sleep. Bianca carefully reached over her wife and turned the alarm off before it sounded and disturbed her restful slumber. She wanted Marissa to have a few extra minutes of sleep if at all possible. Unable to resist, Bianca place a whisper of a kiss on her wife's shoulder.

Marissa stirred feeling her wife's soft lips brush her shoulder. She turned her head and smiled. "Good morning, beautiful."

"Good morning yourself. I'm sorry I woke you up. I didn't mean to. You're just simply irresistible, and I couldn't help myself. I had to kiss you."

Marissa chuckled and turned to fully face her wife. "You are good, and you don't hear me complaining, do you? I really can't think of a better way to be woken up then being kissed awake by you. I think you need to bring those lips back over here so I can give you a proper good morning kiss."

Bianca grinned. "If you insist, I'm more than happy to oblige."

The couple shared a loving kiss that left both beaming when they separated. Early morning obligations the last couple of days had left no time for them to share quiet moments like this.

"I've missed this." Marissa sighed.

"I have too."

"What time is it?"

"We've got about 20 minutes before we absolutely have to get out of bed. How did it go with the kids last night?"

"It went great. They missed you but are very proud of what you're doing. You're setting such a good example for them and showing them the importance of both an education and pursuing your dream."

"Thank you for saying that."

"I mean every word of it because it's true. So, tell me what your professor said."

"He wanted to talk about my next paper. He told me that my idea intrigued him, and he couldn't wait to see what I did with it. He gave me a few ideas to add to it and was pretty helpful."

"That's great! I'm so proud of you and not surprised by that at all."

"Thank you. I really am enjoying the class, but I'm glad I'm taking a break after it. I miss spending time with you and the kids, and with our little one coming, I don't want to miss a single thing."

"You're not going to. That reminds me, we have a doctor's appointment next week."

Bianca nodded. "I remember, and it's on my calendar. There's no way I'm missing any of those appointments."

"I know. I can't wait until it's time for an ultrasound, and we can see our little one." Marissa sighed happily as one of her hands rested on her belly which was still relatively flat but the slightest of bumps was starting to form and be felt. Her clothes still fit, but she knew that would be changing soon. This was something that honestly didn't bother Marissa because it was a sign that their little one was growing.

Bianca placed a loving hand next to her wife's. She loved feeling that small bump that was beginning to form. It wasn't something that could be seen yet when she was dressed so that meant that only Bianca and Marissa knew about it, and that made it a little more special to them. "That makes two of us. Another month and we'll be able to."

The couple smiled relishing the moment and imaging what their little one would look like when it was time for them to join their family.

The brunette reluctantly broke the silence knowing they didn't have a lot of time together right now. "What happened with Sam and the Walkers? Gail called yesterday and said that Sam wasn't feeling well and was upset so they decided it was best for her to stay home and for them to spend some time together."

Marissa sighed. "I'll give you the short version right now and the ugly details tonight. It seems Sam's dad had an older half-brother."

"Sam has a blood relative? Oh no, I don't have a good feeling about this. What exactly does that mean for Sam and the Walkers?"

"I'm still sorting that out. Right now, we don't what, if anything, he might do in the way of custody. I have the investigator checking into a couple of things still and am working out a strategy for our side. I'm going to be meeting with my team today to discuss it."

"I have no doubt that you'll figure something out."

"Thank you. I'm going to do my damnedest. How did it go with Mrs. Holmes?"

It was Bianca's turn to sigh. Since Marissa was counsel for the Center and may need to get involved in the case at some point, the brunette knew she could tell her the whole story. "I'll give you the short version for now. She told me her niece is in an abusive relationship. She and her girlfriend live in Llanview. The girlfriend's family has money and political connections there which has made it hard for Mrs. Holmes' niece to fell like she has anywhere to go for help. She's hoping she can convince her to come back to Pine Valley and to the Center specifically for help. I called Viki Buchanan to get some background on the girlfriend's family and to check on some facts. Viki pretty much confirmed what Mrs. Holmes told me about the family."

Marissa shook her head. Both she and Bianca had suspected something along these lines was behind Mrs. Holmes' intense interest with the Center. "What's the plan?"

"The girlfriend is out of town this weekend so Mrs. Holmes is going there in hopes of convincing her niece to come back here with her with the goal of her coming to the Center for help. Getting her out of the abusive relationship and away from the influences the girlfriend and her family have there is the best thing for her at this point. She'll feel safer, be able to open up more and begin to heal."

"Do you think Mrs. Holmes will be able to convince her?"

"You know that the ultimate decision to leave is up to the niece, but Mrs. Holmes has said the niece has opened up to her. Hopefully, she'll make that decision. I do know that Mrs. Holmes is very determined to help her. I really hope she agrees to get help."

"So do I. You said you talked to Viki. How's she doing? How's Clint?"

"She's good, and he's feeling much better. Viki was sorry they missed the wedding. We agreed to look at all of our schedules to find a day we can get together. She's going to talk to Bo and Nora about joining us too."

"I'll check my schedule and get you the info. I hope Bo and Nora can make it. I would really like to meet them too."

"I think you'll like them, and I know they'll like you." Bianca shifted and did a quick time check and saw they still had a couple of minutes. "How did the interviews go?"

Marissa grinned and tucked a lock of Bianca's hair behind her ear. "They were interesting. One of them was with Meredith who was one of the women I overheard in the ladies' room."

"Really? How'd that go?"

"I'm pretty sure I set her straight on a few things."

"Like whose department it is and who is actually in charge?" Bianca smiled.

"Yeah, like those things. If I was inclined in the slightest to offer her the position which I'm not, I seriously doubt she'd take it now anyway. I don't think she liked the idea of me being pregnant. It really seemed to interfere with her plans for office domination." Marissa smirked.

Bianca placed her hand back on Marissa's belly and stroked it lovingly. It instantly calmed the anger she felt over what she'd just heard. "Well that's just too damn bad now isn't it? I know it's your decision, but I'm glad you're not going to hire her because while I know I haven't met this Meredith, I'm pretty sure I don't like her very much if at all. Make sure to keep her away from me at any functions that the firm has."

Marissa smiled and kissed her wife. "I will. You're really not going to like this next part. She didn't think I should have our wedding picture on my desk."

"What?!"

"Yeah, she thought some clients might be offended by it. She also thought I needed to get rid of some of the personal items on my desk like the frame the kids made for us and my stuffed minion. Don't worry. I set her straight on that too."

"Good! You definitely need to keep her far away from me now. I don't know why she feels she has the right to say those things. Hopefully, the next round of interviews will go better."

"I hope so. I interview Ellie later today."

"Good. I like her. She seems on top of things and genuine."

"You're going to like her even more when I tell you this. She carried some law books from the library to my office for me and scolded me a little for trying to do it myself when she found out I was pregnant. She told me I needed to be careful and have others help me with stuff like that. She then proceeded to tell me that I should look into a case with wheels to transport my laptop, files and law books to and from the office."

Bianca smiled brightly. "You're right. I do like her even more than I did before! She's very smart."

Marissa laughed. "Like I said, I thought you'd feel that way. It's time to get up now, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid so. The good thing is that it's Friday, and we've got the weekend to take it easy."

"We did promise the kids we would go to the zoo tomorrow."

"True, we did, but we don't have to get up at the crack of dawn in order to do that."

"You're right. That means I can do my morning routine!" Marissa waggled her eyebrows.

Bianca sighed happily. "Yes, it does, and I've missed that morning routine this week."

"Me too. I promise to more than make it up to you."

"I look forward to it. Are you free for lunch today?"

Marissa thought for a moment. "Yep, I am. Meet me at Krystal's at noon?"

"Sounds perfect." Bianca smiled and gave her wife a quick kiss before the couple got out of bed to start their day.

Marissa was feeling slightly disheartened by how the interviews were going for her secretary. She'd interviewed the woman Meredith had been talking with in the ladies' room. While she also saw this position as a way to gain influence and advance her own agenda at the firm, she wasn't nearly as bad as Meredith. It didn't really matter though. Marissa didn't think she would be a good fit. The interview that followed that one went a little better, but the redhead wasn't sold on that applicant either. She had now interviewed half a dozen people, none of which jumped out at her as being right. Marissa was really hoping this next interview would go well.

The redhead glanced up when she heard a knock on the door and smiled to greet the next applicant. "Hi, Ellie. Please, come in and have a seat."

"Hi, Marissa. Thank you for agreeing to meet with me."

The redhead could see how nervous Ellie was and smiled warmly in an attempt to help calm her nerves and reassure her. "Ellie, it's alright. I don't want you to be nervous, okay?"

The young brunette released a relieved breath and nodded. She'd been awake half the night thinking and worrying about this interview. She really wanted this position. Not only would she get the chance to work for and with Marissa, but she would be doing something more than doing was doing now. She was starting to feel like she was in a rut. Ellie would also be opening herself up, making a difference and helping others. "Thanks. I'm sorry. I guess I am a little nervous."

"It's okay and perfectly normal. Let's get started. I see from your résumé that you have an associate's degree in social work. What made you choose that major?"

"I've always wanted to help others for as long as I can remember. You see, we didn't live in the best of neighborhoods when I was growing up, but our parents kept us out of trouble and on the straight and narrow. Some of the kids I grew up with weren't as lucky as we were. They didn't have the kind of parents that we did. Social Services ended up getting called for them. Some of them had really good social workers and were able to turn their lives around. The others weren't as fortunate and ended up falling through the cracks. Seeing all of that made me want to help them."

"That's very admirable. Have you thought about furthering your education?"

"I'd like to finish what I started but it's not possible at the moment."

Marissa sensed that money was probably a reason for not continuing right now. She remembered all too well how much tuition was when she was in college and knew the cost had only gone up. "Could I ask why you stopped at an associate's degree?"

Ellie nodded. "My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago when I was in school. I put my studies on hold after getting my associate's degree to help out with things around the house."

"I'm sorry to hear that. How's your mom doing?"

The young brunette smiled. "I'm happy to say that she has been cancer free for two years now. We were lucky. They caught it early."

"That's really good to hear. If you had the opportunity, would you like to go back and finish up your bachelor's degree?"

"I'd like to. I know my parents would really like me to. Hopefully, I will in another year or two."

Marissa nodded and made a mental note to look into the firm's educational reimbursement program. She thought there was a good chance that Ellie would qualify for financial assistance. "Tell me a little bit about your family, if you don't mind."

"I don't mind at all. I'm the oldest of three. I have a brother and sister. They both go to PVU. My brother is a sophomore and my sister, a freshman. He wants to go into education, and she wants to go into IT. My mom and dad both work at Chandler in one of the support areas. They were able to get on there several years ago and moved us to a better neighborhood not long after. Again, we were really lucky because they have great insurance which really came in handy when mom got her diagnosis. I moved out and got my own place last year. It's really nice being on my own. We're still pretty close though and see each other a few times a week. We do family dinners a lot, and my mom is an awesome cook."

"My mom was too. Bianca and I both really like to cook as well. What made you decide to come to work here at the firm?"

"Besides social work, I've always had an interest in law. Maybe, it came from watching old episodes of 'Law and Order'." Ellie chuckled. She was a little surprised at how much she was opening up to Marissa, but the redhead was very easy to talk to. "I know it's not really like that in real life, but I guess it piqued my interest. I knew of the firm's reputation, and when there was an opening, I jumped at the chance to work here. I thought that even by being a receptionist I'd be able to learn, and I have, a great deal."

"I can understand that, and it makes sense. Why did you apply for this particular position?"

"To be completely honest, I can only learn so much sitting behind the receptionist desk, and I'd like to learn more. I also like the subject of family law. It falls in with my other interests. Plus, I feel like I could help others more in this role, make more of a contribution."

Marissa nodded thoughtfully. "Given your interest, have you thought about pursuing a law degree?"

Ellie smiled. "I had a feeling you might ask me that considering what I just told you. At this point in time, no. I might in the future but not right now."

"Fair enough. What kind of ideas do you have to help me and the rest of the team be better organized?"

"From what I've observed, you're all actually pretty organized already, but I know something that might help you out a little. There's this app that I've found that helps me out a lot. Could I show you?"

"Yes, by all means. What do you need?"

"I'll pull it up on your laptop if that's alright. If you like it, we can download it to your cellphone."

"Have at it." Marissa smiled as Ellie went to work on her laptop. The redhead happily admitted to herself that this interview was actually going really well.

"Well, look who the cat done drug in. It's been a few days since you and the missus have been in."

Bianca chuckled. "Good afternoon, Opal. How are you today?"

"Good afternoon to you too. I'm doing good, not as good as you I'd say. Will a certain someone be joining you for lunch?"

"Yes, Marissa should be here any minute."

"I'm glad to hear that. This place always seems a whole lot brighter with the two of you here. What can I get you to drink?"

"Two lemonades, please."

"Still cutting back on your caffeine along with Marissa, I see."

"Yeah, it's the least I can do. Marissa doesn't mind if I have any, but it doesn't feel right to me to have it when she can't. Besides, it's gotten easier. I am looking forward to having Krystal's iced tea after the baby gets here though. I know Marissa is too."

Opal simply smiled and shook her head. This was just another example of how special this couple was. They were always doing those little things for each other, supporting each other, and when they did, they didn't give it a second thought. It was simply second nature to them. "Alright, let me get your drinks, and I'll be right back."

"Thanks, Opal." No sooner had the older woman stepped away then Bianca heard someone else approaching the table. The brunette smiled brightly when she saw her wife.

Marissa leaned in for a quick kiss before taking a seat and laying her head on the table with a groan.

Bianca raised an eyebrow mildly amused by her wife's antics. "I'm going to go out on a limb, and say something is going on."

"You think?" Marissa sighed heavily.

"Yeah, I do. You're doing your best to hide it, but I do know you pretty well. Plus, I've picked up some of my wife's keen observational skills over time.

A small chuckle escaped from the redhead before she groaned again. "I've been conducting interviews all morning long, and I'm about to scream. I really don't want to do anymore of them."

Bianca snickered slightly observing Marissa's dramatics. She could see her influence on their kids at that moment or maybe it was their influence on her wife. Either way, Bianca loved it. In all seriousness though, the brunette knew how much Marissa hated conducting these interviews, and that she'd much rather be in court or researching a case. These interviews, however, were a necessary evil. If her wife wanted to be able to focus on the legal side of her job, she would need someone she could trust and rely on to handle the administrative side, something Bianca knew all too well.

Marissa lifted her head hearing her wife's snicker and was met with warm chocolate eyes sparkling with amusement. "Well, that didn't sound especially sympathetic."

Bianca gave her wife a quick kiss. "I'm sorry, but you're kind of adorable when you act like this."

The redhead rolled her eyes and huffed. "Whatever."

"So, is there anyone that you like, that you think might do a good job?"

"Well, hey there strangers. It's good to see the two of you." Krystal smiled as she set the couple's drinks in front of them.

"Thanks, Krystal, and thank you, B, for ordering this for me." Marissa took a grateful sip of her drink.

"You're welcome, and thanks, Krystal."

"You're both very welcome. When Opal told me you were here, I had to come out and see you. How are you feeling, Marissa?"

"I'm feeling pretty good. Our little one's been behaving themselves lately."

"I'm glad to hear that." Krystal chuckled hearing Marissa's stomach growl. "It sounds like both of you are hungry. What can I get you for lunch?"

"I'll just have the club sandwich." Bianca handed over the menu.

"Ooh, I'd like the chili cheese dog. Could I get it with spicy mustard, habanero cheese, jalapeños, onions, and bread & butter pickles?"

Bianca cleared her throat in an effort to stop herself from laughing at the expression on Krystal's face. She was used to Marissa's odd cravings and combinations by now, but it was clear that Krystal was surprised by them.

Krystal regained her composure quickly. "Okay. Anything else?"

"Some onion rings and extra jalapeños please."

The older woman bit back a laugh. "You got it." She was stopped by one more request.

"Could I get a chocolate shake as well?"

"Sure. Extra whipped cream?"

Marissa nodded happily. "Yes, please."

"I'll be right back with the shake."

"Krystal, could you make it two?"

"Of course, Bianca."

The brunette thanked the older woman and turned to see Marissa smiling at her. "What? It sounded good."

"Nothing. I'm just glad you're indulging yourself."

"I like indulging myself, with you." Bianca grinned suggestively.

"I quite enjoy it too. In fact, I'm hoping you'll indulge me later and help me work off lunch."

"Mmm, I'll be more than happy to help you with that. In fact, I think it will be my very great pleasure."

"Here you go, two chocolate shakes."

The couple quickly tore their gazes from each other hearing Krystal's voice.

Hazel eyes lit up as Marissa took a sip and moaned.

"Looks like Bianca is at again with making Marissa moan." Greenlee smirked. "Ow! What did you do that for?" The shorter woman asked as she rubbed her arm.

Kendall rolled her eyes. "Really? You're really asking me that? I've lost count how many times we've talked about this."

Greenlee shrugged and grinned. "Oh yeah, we have talked about that, haven't we? I guess I forgot that you don't like that topic of discussion."

"Like I really believe you forgot. Remind me again, why are we friends?"

"Because you love me no matter what you say, and I don't let you take things too seriously. I also don't let you get away with any crap. Plus, you know I'll have your back no matter what, just like you'll have mine."

Kendall sighed in defeat. Greenlee was right. The friends had been through way too much together. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right, even though you are a huge pain in my ass."

"Ditto. Besides, that's what friends are for. So, what did we interrupt?"

"I hate to disappoint you, Greenlee, but the moan was for this awesome chocolate shake. Thanks, Krystal. That's not to say that my beautiful wife doesn't know how to make me moan. She's very talented." Marissa responded with a cheeky grin that had the others a little stunned. The redhead shrugged. "Pregnancy hormones."

Greenlee laughed. "Nice save and way to use your current condition. I kind of thought Bianca had it in her." She turned to look at Bianca. "So?"

"I will only say that I have no complaints at all, and I'm extremely happy and satisfied."

"Way to go, Rocky!"

Kendall held up her hands. "Enough! Can we please talk about something else? Those chocolate shakes really do look good."

"You're right. They really do. I'll take one of them, but not that. What the hell are you eating, Marissa?" Greenlee asked as Opal delivered the couple's order to their table.

"What? It's a chili cheese dog."

Kendall eyed the concoction delivered, not quite sure what to make of it. "Are those jalapeños and pickles? Don't you have heartburn?"

Marissa grinned as she took a bite. A small groan escaping as she swallowed. "Oh yeah, this is really good! Thank you so much!"

The friends just shook their heads when they saw the redhead then dip an onion ring in her shake and take a bite.

"What? It's good. Don't knock it until you try it. And yeah, I definitely get heartburn but the antacids help. Besides, this is totally worth the heartburn."

The others chuckled as Marissa was fully embracing her cravings.

"I think I'm just going to take your word for it, Red. I'll have what Bianca is having please."

"Me too." Greenlee said still staring at Marissa's lunch.

Bianca rolled her eyes. "Don't pay any attention to them, just enjoy it."

"I will. Thank you. You can have some of my onion rings." Marissa grinned. She had seen her wife eyeing them.

Bianca chuckled, guessing she hadn't been as inconspicuous as she had thought. The brunette opted to not dip it in her shake like her wife had though. "Thank you."

"I'll get your orders." Opal shook her head amused by the couple.

"Thanks, Opal."

"Wait up. I'm coming too. I need to check on my cornbread." Krystal turned to Marissa before she followed Opal back to the kitchen. "Bianca's right, just enjoy yourself. Let me know if you need anything else."

Marissa smirked at Kendall and Greenlee who simply chuckled.

"What's the word on the secretary front, Red?"

"Ugh! I was telling Bianca before you got here that I was in interviews all morning. I know I have to do it, but I'd much rather be working on a case."

Bianca smiled. She really did know her wife very well. "How did they go? Is there anyone that you liked? There weren't any more Meredith's, were there?"

"Who's Meredith?" Greenlee asked.

Marissa rolled her eyes. "She's a secretary for one of the senior associates. She basically thought she would be in charge of me. I also didn't like some of her opinions and views on things. She wasn't particularly thrilled to see our wedding picture on my desk. She thought it might offend some clients."

"Seriously? Where does she get off saying that garbage?" Kendall couldn't believe what her sister-in-law had told her.

"I took care of her. Going back to your questions, B, one of the interviews was a lighter version of what I had with Meredith. There's definitely a couple of them that I don't think would fit. They're competent but just not right for me. A couple of others were okay, but there's one applicant that stood out to me. I have two more interviews this afternoon so I have to see how they go, but at this point, I'm really leaning towards making an offer to someone. The ones later will really have to blow me away to change my mind."

"Can I guess?"

Marissa smiled at her wife. "Guess away, Babe."

"I think it's Ellie."

"The receptionist?" Greenlee asked.

"Ooh, I like her. She seems really nice and on the ball." Kendall chimed in.

"That would be the one. The interview went really well, and she had some great ideas on helping organize things. There was this app that she showed me that I like a lot. I think you will too. I'll show you." Marissa took the final bite of her chili cheese dog and wiped her mouth before fishing out her cellphone.

The other three women looked on as the redhead demonstrated the app. They were all impressed with that and the other details Marissa had shared about the interview. The redhead kept the more personal aspects of Ellie's private life to herself though. While she would tell Bianca all about it later, she didn't feel right about telling the others.

"Wow, I don't think my dad knows what she's capable of doing. If he did, she wouldn't be behind that receptionist desk. I say hire her unless the others can walk on water."

"I agree with Greenlee. She definitely seems like she'd do a good job for you, Red."

Marissa turned to her wife. "What do you think?"

"I do think Ellie sounds right, but you have to be fair and give the others a chance. Do the other interviews. See how you feel about them and their fit. You owe it to them. Of course, you're already planning on doing exactly that, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am, but I still want and value your opinion. Now because you know me so well, you can have the last onion ring."

Bianca grinned. "Thank you!"

Marissa checked the time and gave her wife a quick kiss. "I need to get back and finish these interviews. I'll tell you everything tonight when I get home."

"I'm looking forward to it. Don't worry about dinner. I'll cook tonight. I was thinking of grilling something. Is there anything in particular you want?"

The redhead thought for a moment. "No, I'm good. My cravings are satisfied for now so whatever you have in mind is good with me."

Bianca smiled. "My special grilled chicken it is then."

"That sounds perfect. Kendall, Greenlee, it's always good to see you, and we'll catch up later when we have more time."

"You're on, Marissa." Greenlee nodded.

"See ya, Red, and good luck this afternoon."

"Thanks, Curly. I think I'm going to need it."

"Marissa hold up." Krystal approached with a 'go' cup. "I thought you and the baby might want a refill on the shake."

"Thanks, Krystal! I appreciate it. We both do."

"Rissa."

The redhead turned back to her wife. "What's up?"

"Nothing." Bianca grinned. "I just need another kiss."

Marissa smiled brightly. "You do, huh? As you wish." The couple shared a tender kiss before parting.

"Love you."

"Love you too."

Kendall and Greenlee glanced at each other and smiled. The friends definitely had a cynical side to them but couldn't help but smile at and be happy for the couple. They deserved it.

After Marissa left, Kendall picked up the conversation again. "So, what else is going on with the two of you? Is Marissa okay? She looked a little tired."

"Yes, she's okay. I'm making sure she's taking care of herself. There's a case that she's working on that's looking like it could get more complicated, and it's weighing pretty heavily on her." As much as Bianca would like to tell Kendall and Greenlee about Sam's case, she knew she couldn't. It wasn't her place to share what was going on with the Walkers.

"Well, if we can help in any way, just let us know."

"I will. Thanks."

"What else is going on?"

"I talked with Viki Buchanan yesterday."

"You did? How's she doing? I'm sorry she couldn't make it to the wedding. I was looking forward to seeing her again."

"She's good and sends her best. We're hoping to get together soon."

"Why were you talking to her?"

"Ah, that's a long story, and I really can't give you a lot of details. I will tell you that I was getting some information from her on a possible client for the Center."

"Where does Llanview come in?"

"That's where she currently lives, but that could change. I called Viki because I knew she could give me some information that I thought could be helpful. I was right."

"You two have been pretty busy since getting back from your honeymoon." Greenlee stated.

Bianca nodded. "Yeah, I guess we have. Hopefully, things will quiet down soon."

"Well, Greenlee and I have started working on ideas for the baby shower. Don't worry. We'll behave ourselves, for the most part." Kendall smirked.

"Alright, I'll trust you because we are talking about your future niece or nephew."

"Are you sure you don't want to find out early what you and Marissa are going to have?" Greenlee asked. She had to admit that her curiosity was killing her.

Bianca nodded. "We're positive. We have an appointment next week with the doctor, and we can get an ultrasound the following appointment. We can't wait." The brunette checked the time. "I'm sorry. I need to go. I want to leave work a little early so I can get the kids and start dinner. I'll see you later."

"Later, Binx."

/

A/N: I had to give Marissa some cravings and that's what popped into my head. If you have any other ideas on those, feel free to let me know. See you soon!
