-I've given up on naming the chapters. Meh. Also there is more to this chapter but it was getting too long.-
"So, Brook Lyn, we need to go shopping soon, maybe this weekend." Tracy said.
"Why?"
Alice blushed. " My clothes don't fit. While your grandmother suggest I just stay in bed for the rest of pregnancy, I don't exactly agree."
Tracy leaned over and whispered something in Alice's ear, making her blush more.
"So when do you want go shopping?" Alice asked.
"I have plans with Serena on Friday night…" Brook Lyn trailed off after seeing Tracy's look. "I mean, could I make plans with Serena for Friday night?"
"I suppose. We're having dinner with Alan and Monica then. Oh shit! We have that stupid ELQ meeting on Saturday." Tracy said.
Alice and Brook Lyn stared at Tracy.
"Why are you staring at me?"
"Well, for starters, Granny, you just called an ELQ meeting stupid. And you swore. You never swear." Brook Lyn said.
Alice and Tracy exchanged a look. Alice felt a hand slipped up her leg.
"Well, since Alice has come into my life, my priorities have change. Alice and my children are top priorities. Which includes you. "
Brook Lyn looked at the women. "So, is Granny retiring and staying at home?"
"Maybe. Now I finally have a good family situation." Tracy said.
"No." Alice said at the same time.
"Honey?" Tracy asked.
"I love you. And if you want to stay home for the first year with me, fine. But you would drive me absolutely crazy. "
"But isn't Granny already crazy?" Brook Lyn asked.
"Well, I was going to take you and Serena shopping this weekend but now…" Tracy teased.
"For baby stuff?"
Alice smiled. "I'm four and half months. Past the first trimester. We could start planning the nursery now."
Tracy leaned over and kissed Alice. Alice and Brook Lyn both groaned but for different reasons. Alice broke the kiss, nibbled Tracy's bottom lip.
"Later. "
"Promise?"
"Of course. And yes, Boroughs Serena can come along, if Lucy says ok. Actually we can ask Lucy what we should get." Alice smiled. " How many weeks until school's out?"
"Two. Two long weeks."
"Then off to New York for two weeks then on the road for another three," Tracy ran through her granddaughter's summer plans.
"Yeah but back for Grandfather's Fourth of July thing, right?" Brook Lyn rolled her eyes.
"Yup." Alice thought out loud. "We should double check all this with your parents this weekend."
"By the time I get back, you'll be big," Brook Lyn commented. At the glare she received, Brook Lyn quickly amended, "but in a good pregnant way."
"Ah, in a good pregnant way." Alice nodded.
"Speaking of which you look exhausted, honey. Why don't you take a hot bath and go to bed? Brook is going to bed after she watches South Park and I'll finish my paperwork and join you, " Tracy said.
"Sounds excellent." Alice kissed Tracy.
Alice walked upstairs with Tracy staring after her. Brook Lyn chuckled.
"What?" Tracy asked her granddaughter.
"You love her. It's cute."
"Hmm. I guess since we learned that she's pregnant I haven't been able to keep my eyes of her," Tracy said, "I have all these protective feelings…well, I'd better get on that paperwork. Go to bed after that appalling TV show."
"It has social reverence."
"It has people going to the bathroom out of their mouths. It literally has potty humor," Tracy rolled her eyes.
"Uncle Alan likes it!"
"Uncle Alan pretends he's a bear named Sidney," Tracy said, "Uncle Alan doesn't have the best judgment sometimes. He did give Monica the house."
"Yet you let him impregnate your wife?"
"Yeah. Love you."
"Love you Granny."
Alice felt lips on her neck. She smiled and said,
"Whoever you are, don't let my wife catch you. She's becoming horribly territorial about me."
"I would tell your wife that I don't see a ring on your finger."
"Ah, but I'm very involved with someone." Alice smiled, "Are you coming to bed?"
"I just want to do a few things. Um, have you move the pillows?"Tracy asked.
"No, why? Because I had a nap and I could be up for awhile."
Tracy chuckled. "That's good to know. Um, why don't we light some candles and just enjoy ourselves?"
"Could you rub my back?"
"Of course." Tracy touched Alice's face. "I'll change and get the door and lights, you get the candles."
Alice lit the candles and looked up to see Tracy in the black teddy.
"Hey, I always liked that teddy."
"Try not to give me a heart attack tonight, okay?"
"Oh that would just want we need. You leaving me with twins. We never did get around to finish what we begin that night." Alice kissed Tracy.
"Oh, I beg to differ. I think we finish and begin again and finish again many times. Ready for your back rub?"
"Mmm." Alice rolled on her side. "You know I was thinking…"
"Yeah?"
"I know we said Alison Rose. But with me and Alan, it might get confusing. "
"Well, grab the name book." Tracy slowly worked down her lover's back.
"Quinten."
"Q. Quartermaine? I feel bad already for the Quartermaine." Tracy commented.
"Joseph?"
"How boring."
"Aidan?"
"Aidan? What's the meaning?" Tracy asked.
"Gaelic for fiery. Aidan. Aidan Quartermaine. I like it." Alice looked at Tracy.
"Aidan. I love it. It works for either sex."
"I had a thought. What about Morgan?"
Tracy smiled. "After my mother?"
"Yeah. Morgan."
"Aidan and Morgan." Tracy thought about it. " Same initials as Alan and Monica."
"I like that part too." Alice admitted.
"Original. Semi-twinish but sound different." Tracy said.
"Yeah. Unisex so we can use them no matter what."
"I think we should pick those wooden letters up." Tracy said.
"So Aidan and Morgan." Alice sighed happily into her pillow, her hand sliding under the pillow. When it hit something small, she grabbed it and discovered a small jewelry box. "Tracy? What's this?"
"I was thinking since you wanted a proper proposal…" Tracy hesitated. "Lion, I love you and I want to be with you forever. Will you do me the honor of being my wife?"
"Oh. Tiger, I love you but no…."
