I know Josie and Kaden are a year apart, but I really wanted to write this and I wrote it in a way that makes sense. Well, I hope it makes sense.


Photo #5: Double Trouble

After America and Marlee had their first children, they promised each other to try and have their second pregnancy at the same time. Both best friends wanted to experience the joy of pregnancy together and share the glow that came with it. They didn't share it the first time around, but the second time was the charm.

Eadlyn smiles at the corner of her mouth as she looks at the photo of her mother with Lady Marlee. Lady Marlee was heavily pregnant with Josie and her mother was just starting to show her bump with Kaden. Both ladies holding their hands out to the other's bump with their mouths open in excitement.

"When is your little girl due?" Maxon asks Marlee and Carter.

"End of the year," Carter replies.

"I can't wait for a daughter!" Marlee squeals, gripping Carter's arm tightly. "Don't tell Kile though, I think he's still in denial about having a little sister since he's wanted a brother."

Maxon chuckles. "Kile has Ahren to play with, and who knows, next year he will have our baby; granted that he's a boy. It is still too early for us to tell."

"Where is America?" Carter asks.

At that moment, America prances gracefully in the room, causing all eyes to turn to her. Her red hair is lightly curled as it rests on the shoulders of her knee-high peach dress, showing off her mini-baby bump. Maxon smiles at the sight of his beautiful wife as Marlee gasps.

"You're finally showing!" Marlee exclaims, rushing over to embrace her friend.

"I had to search for my maternity clothes," America says. "After that, I had to pick a dress I liked."

"Marlee just bought a whole new wardrobe," Carter says. Marlee turns around and grins at him.

The two best friends look at each other and the difference in the size of their baby bumps. Their eyes are filled with joy as their hands are stretched out. Maxon pulls out his camera and quickly snaps a photo of the two women, knowing they would thank him for it later.

"Oh, Carter..." Maxon whispers just loud enough for the other man to hear, not wanting to ruin the happiness from their wives. "What have we done? Soon there will be five noisy, little children running around the palace."

Carter whistles downhill at the sudden thought of that. He lightly claps Maxon's shoulder and gently laughs.

"You have an office and I work outdoors," Carter replies. "We'll be fine."


Carter is literally me as a parent.
