Enjoy!

Chapter 18

"Amy." Carlos said her name as he lightly rubbed her shoulder. "I'm making lunch, what do you want?"

She blinked a few times before sitting up, "Just some peanut butter toast, and an apple."

Carlos nodded. "Do you need more water?"

Amy grabbed her water bottle and shook it, "Yeah, refill please."

"Sure thing."

Amy stood up to stretch and realized she needed to pee. She walked to the half bathroom off the kitchen, "I just have to pee, no death looks."

Carlos smiled, "No death looks from me. Promise." He gave her a quick look before turning back toward the toaster. "I'm just making your toast and refilling your water bottle."

Amy couldn't help but chuckle as she closed the bathroom door behind her. After taking care of her business she went back out to the living room to her spot on the couch. She was just getting settled with her knitting when Carlos came in with her toast and water bottle.

"Well, I got some good news while you were napping the morning away."

Amy couldn't answer with a mouth full of peanut butter toast, so she just looked at him and raised her eyebrows silently telling him to continue.

"Bobby called me and asked if we could meet him at the house tomorrow for a walk through."

"Shut the front door! It's done?!" Amy slapped her hands excitedly on her knees like a little girl.

Carlos couldn't stop from laughing at her reaction. "He said that he wants us to go through it before they finish putting all of the trim back in the bedrooms and the switch plates and things like that, just in case there's anything we want to change. And he said the fixtures you wanted for the formal dining room are supposed to be there today, so tomorrow is the first time it'll be all put together. Finally."

"Finally?" Amy gave a short laugh, "You only gave the poor guy like a month to do everything."

"I gave him a lot of extra monetary incentive to get it all done in a month, now we'll get to see if we're getting what we paid for." Carlos bent down to give her a quick kiss.

"Like you've ever had anyone not give you what you paid for." Amy teased before pulling him back for another kiss. "Bobby seemed to have a good handle on everything and has done well considering we haven't been up at the house much in the last couple weeks."

"So are we telling my parents everything when they come tonight?"

"What everything? With the pregnancy?" Amy asked right before she took a bite of her apple.

Carlos nodded, "What other 'everthing' would I mean?"

"I don't know." Amy paused to take a quick drink of water. "Yes, we should probably just go ahead and tell them it's twins, we lost one, and I'm on bedrest for the foreseeable future. Your mom is going to lose her mind."

"She is." Carlos tipped his head slightly to the side, "Right before she tells my dad to go home without her and to just mail her a box of clothes."

Amy sat back on the couch rubbing her chin as if considering, "I do like your mom."

Carlos sat down on the coffee table. "You don't want her moving in here to take care of you. Trust me. If you think I'm overprotective, she'll be worse. She'll have an elevator installed and bring in a wheel chair. You'll be immobilized until the babies come."

"I suppose I'll keep you then." Amy teased. "So, if there aren't any changes on the house when are we moving in?"

"According to Bobby they can do the finishing touches Monday and we can move in after that. They're still working on the apartment and the theater room in the basement, but what we need is done. So if everything goes well tomorrow I'll be calling the movers to come pack everything up probably Wednesday and Thursday. We can be in the new house by next weekend."

"That seems so crazy! But I'm excited. And Lexi is going to lose it."

"Speaking of, do I need to pick her up after school today?"

"No, Emma's mom is dropping her off."

"Okay, well I've got some more work to do yet before I can start getting things ready for dinner."

"Problems?"

"No," Carlos stood up. "And Tess is doing great running things, so don't bug her."

"I'm not bugging her, I've barely talked to her."

Carlos actually snorted, "You e-mail her at least a dozen times a day."

"How would you know?!" Amy gaped and pointed her finger at him, "You've been reading my e-mails!"

"No," Carlos quickly defended himself and explained. "I just tracked yours and Tess's emails and saw that you've been sending quite a few e-mails to her. I know, your mad. But you need to leave things to Tess, she knows what she's doing."

"But I'm so bored!" Amy flopped back on the couch. "Give me your credit card."

Carlos turned his head to the side and eyed her, "Why?"

"Because I'm going to order a ton of new eBooks, yarn, and stuff for the babies. If you aren't going to let me work at all, then I'm going to do a lot of online shopping."

"You'll survive. Just use your card, buy whatever you want."

Amy groaned. "I was kidding. Sort of." She took a big breath in and let it out on a huff. "Such a fun-hater." She grumbled as he walked away.

"Amy!" Marie squealed as soon as she walked through the front door. "You look amazing!" She pulled Amy in for a hug. "Pregnancy agrees with you!"

Amy gave a little laugh, "Maybe it'll agree with me when the nausea and morning sickness pass." She teased.

Marie waved her hand, "It'll be gone in no time. You still look great." She took off her coat and held it out toward Ric without even looking. Once he had her coat she quickly ushered Amy back to the living room. "Sit, sit. I want you to fill me in on everything!" Carlos and Ric stayed behind and went to the kitchen.

Amy settled in her spot on the couch and Marie took the chair angled right next to her. "Where's Lexi?"

"She's upstairs in her room, she'll come down for dinner."

"So how far along are you now?" Marie jumped right in.

"Ten weeks today." Amy smiled, Marie's excitement was contagious. "We just had our first appointment today actually."

"Oh that's exciting! What did you guys find out?"

"So far everything is going great." Amy looked toward the kitchen, "Carlos!" She yelled out.

"Hang on sweetheart, we're going to put the meat on the grill." Carlos peeked around the corner from the kitchen. "We'll join you ladies in a minute, just hold on."

"Hurry, please! Your mom wants to see the ultrasound pictures." Amy smiled as she watched Marie's eyes widen in excitement and she clasped her hands together.

"You have pictures?!" Marie was practically bouncing in her seat.

Amy nodded, "Yes, but we want to show the two of you together."

Marie looked toward the kitchen, "Those two had better hurry up." She looked back to Amy. "Other than the morning sickness, how have you been feeling? Any cravings?"

Amy shook her head, "No cravings yet. I'm really thankful that Carlos knows how to cook, because I haven't been able to do a whole lot in the kitchen without getting sick."

Marie nodded proudly, "That's my boy. He may be a bit stubborn at times but I did teach him a few things, like how to cook. And how to dance."

"How to dance?" Amy tilted her head a little, "He hasn't shown me that skill yet."

"I'll have to make sure that he does." Marie patted Amy's knee. "So, Thanksgiving." Marie sat back in her chair. "Carlos said you three would be coming to our house for lunch, is that right?"

"Yes, we wouldn't miss it." Amy wasn't sure what he'd told his parents about the dinner that's really their surprise wedding, so she was hoping they wouldn't talk about it much tonight.

"What do you guys need help with for your big dinner at the new house that Saturday?"

So much for hoping they wouldn't talk about it. "We don't need help. Everything is covered."

"Well surely you can't be doing all of the cooking and decorating." Marie clearly didn't approve of that idea.

"No, we're not actually doing anything. We arranged for the whole meal to be catered. So we're not doing a thing. We just wanted to have everyone out to see the new house and do a big dinner together."

"Have you started making any wedding plans?"

"Oh yeah, Lexi and I have already gone looking at dresses." Amy was listening for Carlos and Ric with one ear, hoping they would walk in any minute so she could stop talking about Thanksgiving and wedding planning.

"Oh! Did you find one?" Marie clapped her hands together a couple times in excitement.

"I think so. And one for Lex too."

"Where are you guys thinking of having the ceremony and reception?"

"Oh, well we're just starting to make a list of possibilities." Amy stopped when she heard Carlos and Ric walking into the living room finally. "There you guys are."

Carlos walked straight to Amy and sat down right next to her and put his arm around her shoulders. He dropped a quick kiss on her temple before turning to his mom. "Possibilities for what?"

"Wedding venues." Amy put her hand on his thigh and gave it a quick squeeze. "Your mom and I have been talking about wedding plans."

"Oh, we've got plenty of time to get all of that figured out." Carlos pulled a gift bag out from under the coffee table. "Here, we wanted you guys to have this."

Amy leaned her head onto his shoulder and whispered, "Thank You!" while his mom was busy digging through the tissue paper.

He gave her a barely perceptible nod and smiled as his mom pulled out the picture frame with the ultrasound picture of the twins in it.

Marie just stared at the picture frame for a full minute without saying a word. Then she looked up at Carlos for a few seconds before looking at Amy and then dropping her eyes to her stomach and finally back to Carlos. "This picture…" she stopped as tears welled in her eyes and she fought to keep her voice steady. After a few seconds she cleared her throat and held the picture to her chest. "Two?" She finally got out.

Amy was fighting tears along with Marie so Carlos answered, "Yes mama, twins."

Marie shrieked and jumped up, "Get up you two! I need hugs!"

Amy and Carlos both chuckled and stood up to get squeezed as hard as Marie could possibly hug them both at once.

"So, twins!" Marie put her hands on Amy's shoulders. "That explains why you've been so sick." Amy nodded. "So have you noticed a difference so far between being pregnant with one and being pregnant with two?"

Amy looked to Carlos for a little help, she knew they needed to fill them in on all of the craziness of the pregnancy so far.

"Let's sit back down." Carlos put his arm back around Amy as they got settled again. "This pregnancy has been a lot different." Carlos tugged Amy a little closer. "There was actually three babies, but about a week ago we lost one." He put a hand up to silence his mother's response so he could explain. "We didn't know for sure that there was three until Amy started bleeding. And then we weren't sure if she would even sustain the pregnancy at all. So until we had definitive answers we kept it to ourselves. I know that you would've come and been here for support but we were kind of in shock over the whole thing so we waited."

Amy scooted forward on the couch to grab Marie's hand in hers. "I'm sorry that we didn't tell you sooner, but I want to make sure you know that we thought of you and we want you involved in the pregnancy. We really were just in complete shock over it all."

Marie was crying now. "Of course I wish you would've told us sooner, any loss is hard. But I'm so happy for the two of you. Those two babies are going to be so loved. We're thrilled for you guys."

Carlos stood, "Dad and I need to go check the meat on the grill, we'll be right back." He leaned down and gave Amy a quick kiss and then dropped a quick kiss on his mom's cheek and got pulled into another hug before following his dad to the kitchen.

"So how are you feeling now?" Marie was looking at the ultrasound picture again.

"I'm feeling great, except for the random nausea. I'm actually on bed rest right now just as a precaution to make sure the babies are okay. Carlos is loving it. I haven't been to work in over a week. I've been holding down the couch and the bed and doing a lot of knitting and reading. Oh and sleeping. Being on bed rest during the first trimester hasn't been so bad when I can take lots of naps." Amy teased on a laugh.

"If I know Carlos I'm sure you've been well taken care of." Marie smiled at Amy, "You know if you need anything, literally anything at all, just call me. I would be more than happy to come down and go grocery shopping or to help with housework."

"Carlos has it all taken care of. He's been doing everything." Amy put her hands out before dropping them back into her lap. "I literally just sit around. Carlos and Lexi do the laundry, he takes care of all of the cooking. However he did talk Ella into doing the grocery shopping this week."

"I don't have anything going on Monday or Tuesday next week, I can come down." Marie patted Amy's hand, "I would love to come down and fuss about the house and over you."

"Actually the movers are coming next week."

"That was fast! I thought it would be another month or two with all of the work you guys were having done."

Amy smirked and shrugged her shoulders, "You know Carlos, when he wants something, he gets it. I think he wanted to make sure the house would be done in plenty of time for Thanksgiving. So the movers will be here next week to pack us up and move everything out."

Dinner went smoothly. Every time that Marie brought up wedding plans, Carlos helped change the subject so that Amy wouldn't have to try to stumble around with excuses. They were already only a few weeks away from their surprise wedding and so far no one knew anything about it. And with the exception of Carlos' parents and Bobby, their in-house medic, no one knew about the babies either. Their plans to completely surprise and shock everyone with the wedding and their growing family would hopefully go off without a hitch.

The second week of November became the most insane week that Carlos and Amy had had in their relationship so far. Carlos single-handedly organized their move to the new house, took care of everything at Rangeman, picked up some of the decorations for the wedding, talked to all of the vendors for the wedding to finalize food and rentals, got measured for and picked up new suit for the wedding, took over transportation getting Lexi to and from school, to her therapy appointment, and to dance class. Amy was absolutely amazed and even more in love with Carlos after watching him do it all without ever voicing the tiniest complaint.

Thursday afternoon Amy was lounging in the family room at the new house, while their new housekeeper Claire was busy in the kitchen working on supper. She was just standing up when the door from the garage opened and in walked Lexi just ahead of Carlos. She smiled as Lexi ran to her and let her wrap her arms around Amy's waist as she patted Lexi's back.

"Hey there baby girl. How was school?" Amy smiled at Carlos who had gone to the kitchen to talk to Claire. Then she looked back down at Lexi.

"It was good. Miss Sawyer let us pick partners to read with today."

"Oh yeah? Who did you pick?" Amy asked as she guided Lexi to the kitchen.

"Well Izzy was gone today so I picked Emma."

Lexi climbed onto one of the bar stools on the backside of the large kitchen island as Amy walked around to the fridge and got a couple of apples and cheese sticks for snacks for herself and Lexi.

"What book did you read?"

"A book about Disney princesses."

Amy smiled as she sat down next to Lexi, "Your favorite!" She put one of the apples and one of the cheese sticks in front of Lexi.

As soon as Lexi started eating Amy looked at Carlos who was still talking to Claire. She caught the end of their conversation, he was evidently double checking that Claire was okay taking care of the whole house on her own including cooking meals. She had done well, for her first day anyways. Amy had tried to talk him out of having a housekeeper but had lost that argument. So they'd talked to Ella, and she had recommended her friend Claire.

Claire was in her mid-fifties, widowed, about 5' 8", very trim and slender, loved yoga, and had been a housekeeper and house manager since her youngest had gone off to college about ten years earlier. They interviewed her at the new house on Monday when they were in the middle of moving in. Carlos and Amy had both instantly loved her but insisted on doing a trial for at least two weeks to make sure the house, grocery shopping, and the cooking wouldn't be too much for her. They made her first week easy, Carlos had done the grocery shopping and she would only have to work Thursday and Friday.

"Do you have any problems with the dinner meal requirements?" Carlos asked.

"Oh no," Claire smiled and shook her head, "I cook similarly for myself, although I'll admit not quite as healthy and organic."

Amy snorted, "No one eats as healthy and organic as Carlos." She gave Carlos a sickly sweet smile when he scowled at her. "I'm sorry honey, but you know it's true."

"You've been eating just as healthy as me since we've moved in together."

Amy just stared at him.

Carlos narrowed his eyes slightly, "What have you been eating that I don't know about?"

"I'm a woman, do you really think I don't have chocolate stashed away?" Amy chuckled when Carlos scowled at her again. "Your evil eye may work on the guys at work, but it doesn't work on me. A little chocolate never hurt anyone."

Carlos rolled his eyes and smiled at Claire, "Do you have everything you'll need for tomorrow? I have to run Lexi back to Trenton in a little bit for her therapy appointment so if there's something you need I can grab it while I'm out."

"No," Claire shook her head. "I've been cleaning as I unpack the rooms. And Ms. Kendrick,"

"Amy," Amy interrupted. "Please Claire, call me Amy. Ms. Kendrick makes me feel like my Grandmother."

Claire smiled, "Ok, Amy. She helped me arrange things and told me where the extra cleaning supplies were."

Carlos nodded. "If you need anything, we're running low on anything or have any suggestions just let Amy know or write it on the pad on the fridge."

"I will Mr. Manoso."

Amy let her stool by Lexi and followed Carlos down the hall to their bedroom. He walked straight through their room into the ensuite bathroom and into the closet. As soon as he stripped off his shirt Amy felt herself get a little hot. She sat on the bench in their closet and watched him change from his Rangeman gear into a charcoal Henley shirt and dark wash denim jeans. He was just buttoning his jeans when he finally looked up at Amy.

"Don't look at me like that Amy," he said as he pulled her up from the bench and held her to him. "Not when we can't do anything about it." He leaned down and lightly brushed his lips against hers but backed off when she tried to pull him down for more. Amy pouted. He just shook his head at her, "We see Dr. Sayre tomorrow morning and with any luck we can get back to normal in a week or two." He kissed her again before releasing her and taking a step back. "Trust me, not being able to make love to you every night when we're in bed is absolutely the hardest thing I've ever had to do."

Amy closed her eyes for a few moments before opening them again and smiling at Carlos. "I'm going to get changed really quick and then…"

"Get changed for what?" Carlos interrupted her.

"To go to Lexi's therapy appointment." Amy pulled a pair of jeans off the shelf on her side of the closet.

Carlos walked over and took the jeans from her hands and put them back on the shelf. "I've got it. I'm taking Lex to her appointment, you can stay here to help Claire get more rooms unpacked."

"That woman is a freaking work horse. The only things left to unpack are my books in the Library, but I want to do those. Everything else is sitting in the second garage until after the wedding, there's not much point in setting everything up now, just to turn around and have to move it all back out in two weeks. We have enough furniture in the family room for now, and we can eat at the island in the kitchen for a couple weeks."

"If that's what you want to do, that's fine with me. But you still can stay at home."

Amy shook her head and grabbed her jeans again. "I need to do something, just to get out of the house." Amy slid her leggings off and pulled her jeans up. She frowned when she tried but couldn't get them to button. Defeated, she dropped her hands to her side and sighed. "Oh come on." She said more to herself than to Carlos. She took her jeans off and folded them before putting them back on the shelf and pulling down another pair.

"Maybe you should stay home and do some online shopping." Carlos tried to smile but Amy scowled at him as she pulled up another pair of jeans.

"You have got to be kidding." Amy took off the second pair of jeans and dropped back down to the bench. "These fit last week. How is it that I need maternity clothes already?!" She looked up and pointed a finger at Carlos, "Not a word." She grabbed her leggings and pulled them back on then went to another part of the closet and grabbed a dark pink long tunic.

"Sweetie, you are pregnant with twins. And you're near the end of your first trimester so of course you're starting to show a little already."

"Being on bed rest isn't helping." Amy sighed, "Ok, lets go."

"Amy Kendrick" the nurse at Amy's obstetrician's office called out.

Amy and Carlos stood and walked to the door. "Not for long." Ranger whispered as they followed the nurse down the hall.

"Huh?" Amy was confused.

"I need to get your weight really quick and then you can step into the bathroom and give a urine sample."

"You'll be Amy Manoso in a couple weeks." Carlos reminded her as she stepped on the scale.

"Oh yeah, I guess I will." She smiled.

"Okay," the nurse scribbled Amy's weight on a piece of paper then pointed to the bathroom. "Mom, you can go in there and dad can follow me to the ultrasound room."

A couple minutes later Amy was sitting on the table in the ultrasound room where Carlos was already talking with Nurse Tina and Dr. Sayre.

"Okay Amy," Dr. Sayre started, "How have you been feeling?"

"Normal I guess. I still throw up almost every morning, but I have found that if I eat ginger chews they help make the nausea go away quicker."

"Ginger usually does work great for nausea, and heartburn too. Have you had any more spotting or bleeding?"

"No," Amy shook her head. "That stopped over the weekend and hasn't come back."

"That's great!" Dr. Sayre sat down in front of the ultrasound machine while Nurse Tina got ultrasound gel and a drape ready. "Go ahead and lie back. Tina will get you ready for the ultrasound."

A minute later Carlos and Amy were holding hands as Dr. Sayre was measuring Baby A. "Both babies look wonderful. Baby A is measuring at 11 week 2 days. Let's have a quick listen," she pushed a couple of buttons and they heard the sweet thudding sound of their baby's heart beating. "156 for Baby A. Now lets move on to Baby B." The amazing sound of their other babies heartbeat filled the room, "151 for Baby B. Perfect! And Baby B is measuring at 11 weeks 4 days." Dr. Sayre looked around a little more and did a few more measurements as she spoke. "The babies both look wonderful. I'm not seeing any other issues. You're cervix is still nice and long."

Dr. Sayre cleaned most of the ultrasound gel off Amy's stomach as she talked, "So the good news is you guys get to go a whole two weeks before you need to come back."

Nurse Tina interrupted, "That's Black Friday."

"Okay, so that means you can either come in the Wednesday before or wait until the Monday after. You guys can decide and make your appointment on your way out." Dr. Sayre made some notes in Amy's file. "Any questions?"

"How much longer do I need to be on bed rest and when can I go back to work?" Amy squeezed Carlos' hand when he gave a barely noticeable growl.

"You said you're a computer programmer?"

Amy nodded.

"Take another week, if you can. Then you can start back the week of Thanksgiving since it'll be a short week anyways. For this week, take it easy. No heavy lifting, no working out yet, but light activity is good."

"I can handle that." Amy was about to ask about their busy impending wedding weekend, but Carlos beat her to it.

"We're getting married Thanksgiving weekend." Carlos started.

"That'll be fun! Congratulations!"

"Thank You." Carlos and Amy both said together.

"We'll be kind of busy with the holiday and then the wedding, so what precautions should we take for the weekend? We're kind of surprising all of our family, no one knows we're getting married and no one knows about the babies yet either except my parents." Carlos paused, "I don't want Amy to do too much but it is our wedding, so of course we want to have a good time dancing and spending time with our family and friends."

"Well, I would say that a few slow dances would be just fine. As long as you guys aren't planning on doing any swing dancing or a long choreographed number, I don't see why you can't have a fairly normal wedding and reception. Sit down as often as you need to, Amy. Make sure your drinking plenty of water, when your busy it can be easy to forget. If you start feeling any cramping or notice any spotting, light headedness, dizziness, or excessive or sudden nausea or vomiting come in to the hospital and call me on the way."

"I have no doubt that Carlos will make sure I'm drinking plenty of water and taking it easy."

"Good." Dr. Sayre closed her laptop, "I'll help avoid the stuttering and embarrassment. I want you to take another couple of weeks with no sexual activity, nothing in the vagina at all. I'll do a quick exam at your next appointment to make sure your cervix isn't dilated and we'll go from there. In fact, make your next appointment for the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and I can give you guys some peace of mind for your busy holiday weekend." Dr. Sayre closed Amy's file. "Anything else?"

"I think we're good." Amy said as she got off of the table.

"I'll see you guys back here in a week and a half then."

"So," Amy said as Carlos pulled out of the parking lot. "I can finally do stuff again!"

"Just because you can do things doesn't mean you need to do everything." Carlos reminded her.

"I know. But if we're going to be having people at the house in two weeks I really need to go shopping, we need beds, bedding, furniture, more bath towels and rugs for the eight bathrooms in the house."

"A shopping spree is too much." Carlos reminded her.

"I know." Amy got her phone out to start making a list of where she needed to go over the next week and what she needed to get to have the house ready for their wedding guests. "So my parents are staying with us for the wedding weekend, will the apartment above the garage be ready?"

"Bobby assures me that it will be. And your brother and his wife can stay in the big room upstairs."

"Is anyone else staying at the house?"

"I don't think so. My sister is staying with our parents."

"We haven't really talked much about it, but do you want Julie to be at the wedding?" Amy watched Carlos carefully but noticed he didn't react to her question.

"I truly haven't thought about it. We've been so busy with everything." Carlos really seemed to be thinking hard about it.

"It might be worth a call, see if she would like to come up."

"I'll call and see if she would want to come, and if her mom would let her come up."

Amy nodded. The car was quiet for a few minutes. "Are you going back to the office?"

"I was planning on it." Carlos glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, "Is that okay?"

"Yeah, I was actually going to ask if I can just do a little of my shopping while you work, then I can pick up Lexi and we can swing by and pick you up to go home about 4?" Amy had a hopeful grin on her face. "Dr. Sayre said light activity. I promise that shopping for sheets and bath towels is light activity. It'll just be a couple hours. And I need to get maternity pants anyways."

"Fine, but you eating lunch with me first. At Rangeman. I'll have Ella make us lunch."

"I guess we'll just tell everyone at Rangeman that I'm taking next week off because of the move?" Amy asked.

"I already told them that was why you took off this week."

"We're running out of excuses. Do I need to limp?" Amy teased.

"If we don't eat at Rangeman, where do you want to go?"

"Not the forest, no twigs and berries. The babies need food."

Carlos glanced at her quickly, he clearly wasn't impressed by the jab at his usual preference for super healthy food.

"Sushi?"

"You can't eat it." He reminded her.

"I can eat anything that has precooked seafood in it. Or I can just order from the grill."

"Fine." Carlos caved.

Amy was standing at the mirror in their bathroom when Carlos walked in fresh from their home gym in the basement. She was carefully applying eyeliner as he went straight to the shower.

"How was your workout?"

"Good. The gym is awesome."

"I can't wait to be able to use it." Amy finished her makeup and walked into the closet to pick a pair of shoes. She was just walking out of the closet as Carlos stepped out of the shower.

"Your maternity pants look good. Did you have any problems finding pants?"

"No," Amy stood in the doorway as Carlos got dressed in his usual Rangeman attire of black cargo pants and a black t-shirt. "I actually ended up just buying a few pairs of black pants and jeans a size bigger than normal for now. The stretchy maternity pants made me look super pregnant for some reason."

"Well, you are." Carlos pointed out. Amy scowled at him just before he walked up to her and bent down to drop a quick kiss on her lips. "I love it when you pout." He kissed her again.

"I don't want everyone to know quite yet though."

"Let's go have some breakfast with Lex before we all head to Trenton."
