The new family sits on the couch comfortably as they watch Scooby-Doo the movie, Jaiden's pick. It was only half way done and Marissa, glancing at the clock, sees that it was almost 10:30 at night. Something tells her it's getting too late for a five year old to be up.

She looks over at Jaiden who was resting his head on Ryan's arm, and notices the little boy's eyes were slowly closing, she smiles to herself and looks at her husband who was deep into the movie.

"Ryan." She begins quietly, not wanting to wake up Jaiden. Ryan looks over at her confused, and Marissa gestures to the sleeping angel. "You really wore him out." She says with a small laugh.

Ryan nods with a smile and adjusts himself so he could pick up Jaiden. "I'll get him upstairs. You have to call Theresa." Marissa nods and picks up the phone, dialing Theresa's number.

"Hey Theresa…yeah sorry we didn't call earlier, they were playing baseball…yeah…but Jaiden's asleep now…do you want him to call you tomorrow morning? Okay, great…I'll talk to you later…bye." Marissa hangs up the phone and begins to clean up the living room.

Ryan lays Jaiden on the bed gently and pulls up the covers, tucking the little boy in. He looks so innocent…like an angel. How could I deny taking care of this kid? He thinks to himself, as he puts a pillow on either side of the bed to make sure Jaiden doesn't fall.

Marissa walks to the guest room where the couple decided, would be Jaiden's room for the rest of his stay, and notices Ryan sitting on the bed beside Jaiden.

"Do you wanna go to bed now?" she asks with a small smile on her face.

Ryan nods without a word and walks up to his wife, giving her a small kiss on the forehead. "Let's go."

They settle into bed and Ryan puts an arm around Marissa, causing her to smile. "It's funny, just a week ago, we had 6 week old twins growing inside me…now we have a 5-year-old boy running around the house." She says, looking over at her husband.

"I know, time goes by so fast." Ryan says jokingly. "But are you okay with all of this?"

Marissa nods her head a few times and smiles, "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Ryan gives her a smile back and gently drops his lips to hers. "I love you." He says softly as they rest their foreheads together.

"I love you too." Marissa whispers. Suddenly, the moment was interrupted by the sound of the doorknob opening.

"Aunt Marissa? Uncle Ryan?" The couple turns their heads and sees Jaiden standing by the door.

"What's wrong, Jay?" Marissa asks.

"I woke up, and I was by myself…" Jaiden replies gently, tears in his voice, "Can I stay in here with you?"

Marissa looks over at Ryan and sees a small smile on his face. They suddenly realize that their lives are changing quickly and there's no time for screw-ups or selfishness. Their family is getting bigger and routines are changing. Marissa returns the smile and looks back at Jaiden. "Sure, come here, sweetie." She replies.

The couple makes room in between them where Jaiden can lay. "I'm sorry we left, buddy." Ryan says softly as he pulls the covers up over the three of them.

"My mom keeps a night light on in my room so I don't get scared." Jaiden says, cuddling up to Marissa. "Can we do that tomorrow night?" he asks with a yawn.

Ryan and Marissa lets out a small laugh and nods, "Of course we can."

And with that, the little boy nods, falling asleep again. Ryan and Marissa, with smiles on their faces, leans in carefully and shares a small kiss before saying their goodnights.

The next morning, Ryan wakes up to a sleeping Jaiden beside him, but Marissa was nowhere to be found. He looks over at the clock and lets out a yawn. 9:46. Suddenly, he hears noise coming from the bathroom making him get up gently so he doesn't wake the little boy up.

"Marissa?" he says through the door, "babe, you in there?"

Finally, he hears the door opening from the other side, revealing Marissa's tear stained face. "Morning sickness is a bitch." She says warily, wiping her face.

Ryan pulls her into his embrace and gently kisses the top of her head. "I'm sorry, babe." He says gently.

Marissa shakes her head, "Not your fault…" she begins, "actually, it kind of is. But I forgive you."

Ryan lets out a small laugh and Marissa pulls away, before walking over to the dresser and picking up her cell phone.

"My mom called." She says, seeing the 1 missed call.

"Hi sweetie. It's mom…just called to see how you were doing. How was Italy? I wanna hear all about it. What do you say we go baby shopping today? Call me back. Bye, sweetie."

Marissa closes her phone and looks over at Ryan who was sitting beside the sleeping Jaiden. "What did she say?" Ryan asks.

"She wants to go baby shopping today. And I guess I should tell her about Jaiden." She says with a small laugh, "I wonder how she's gunna be taking that." Ryan smiles and looks over at the sleeping angel. "I'm gunna bring Summer with me for reinforcements and I'm gunna buy Jaiden some new sheets too, and some toys, I wanna decorate the room so it looks like it's a little boy's room."

"Marissa, he's not living with us forever." Ryan says, looking at his wife, "I mean, just until Theresa can fix some stuff at home."

"I know, but still, what if we have twin boys?" she asks as she walks over to the bed and sits on the other side of Jaiden, brushing hair away from the little boy's face. "Jay? Wake up, sweetie." Jaiden's eyes begin to flutter open, revealing the cutest brown eyes Marissa has ever seen. "We've got a big day today, we're gunna go to the mall with Aunt Summer and buy toys." She says gently, making the little boy sit up slowly.

"Toys?" he asks softly, rubbing his eyes.

"Yeah, buddy. You guys are going shopping. Isn't that exciting?" Ryan asks, with slight sarcasm in his voice. Jaiden nods his head a few times and Ryan lets out a small laugh. "So, what do you want for breakfast?"

"We have chocolate chip pancakes, do want that?" Marissa asks softly. Jaiden nods his head again and lets out a small yawn.

"Okay, let's get downstairs and make you some pancakes then, kiddo." Ryan says playfully as he takes Jaiden and puts him up on his shoulders causing the little boy to laugh.

Marissa smiles to herself as he watches the two boys going down the stairs, and Ryan pretending Jaiden's about to drop, "Don't fall Jay, don't fall."

It almost seems like a dream, the past few weeks. She was about to be a mom, hell, she already is to Jaiden. And the reality that in about 7 and a half months, her and Ryan will have twins, sends a warm feeling through her whole body. They're definitely growing up.
