Tracy looked at dresses. Alice chuckled.

"You really want a girl, don't you?"

"Well, it's just I haven't had a girl yet. And the dresses are really cute." Tracy held the dress up to Alice's stomach.

"Hmm…" Alice said.

"The CVS results will back on Monday." Tracy commented. "We haven't decide whether or not to find out about the sexes."

"Well…it would make shopping easier." Alice pointed out.


Brook Lyn held up border of teddy bears. Alice shook her head.

"Where's Ms. Quartermaine?" Serena asked.

Alice rolled her eyes. "Tracy is lost in the sea of pink dresses. If I'm not having a girl, our son is going to be a cross-dresser."

Tracy shot her wife a look. "Should we just focus on the room for now?"

"Oh, honey, I'm just teasing. Forgive me? " Alice bended down and gently kissed Tracy.

"Maybe." Another kiss. "Oh, I suppose."

"What theme are you looking at?" Brook Lyn asked.

"Since we need a gender neutral theme, we don't know. Oh, I wanted those wooden letters." Alice said.

"You know the name already?" Brook Lyn looked surprised.

"Aidan Morgan." Tracy said.

"A.M. Quartermaine? Cute." Serena commented.

"Thanks. What do you think sweetheart?" Alice asked.

"I like it. Much better than Brook Lyn."

Tracy placed a hand on Alice's stomach. "Aidan Morgan."

"Aidan Morgan."

"This is how cute they are." Brook Lyn rolled her eyes. Serena nodded.

"Let's look at bedding." Alice said.

"Granny , could Serena and I look at books? Really we just want to look at clothes."

"Fine with me. Alice?"

" Fine. Meet in the baby clothes in an hour?"

"Cool."


Alice and Tracy browsed baby bedding.

"No frogs."

"Frogs? Now frogs freak you out?" Alice asked

"Alan used to put them under my pillow."

"Poor baby."

"Bees?" Tracy pulled out the bedding.

"I got stung by a bee when I was twelve."

"Roses?" Tracy asked.

"Boy you want that daughter." Alice laughed.

"Mmmm a little girl who looks just her gorgeous mother."

"Mmmm someone is horny." Alice sighed.

"Always. I can't believe you want us to actually abstain the week before we go to Boston." Tracy said.

"Think of it as a challenge. Besides when our wedding night comes it will be that much better."

"It's always good." Tracy said.

Alice wisely kept quiet about the dry spell after Tracy's heart attack, the nights after Brook Lyn moved in when they worried about being too loud, and the times they simply couldn't get it together and gave up, frustrated.

"Tiger, a Noah's Ark theme." Alice looked at the various themes, changing the subject.

"Two by two. Perfect for our two." Tracy placed her hand on the swollen stomach.

"Do you think Brook Lyn suspect about the twins?" Alice asked.

"Oh, probably not. I think Brook is still amazed you're pregnant. It must seem weird when your grandmother's lover comes up pregnant one day," Tracy commented.

"Was it weird for you, too?"

"It was incredible. " Tracy picked the matching wall hanging up. " I can't believe you would do this for me."

Alice found a cute stuffed tiger and lion. " Tiger, look at these."

"Adorable. Honey, do you want to find out the sexes?" Tracy returned to the previous subject.

"Well, yes, if we just keep the information to ourselves." Alice examined the cribs. "Oak or a darker wood?"

Tracy looked at the cribs. "I like the oak. Another secret? Good thing I have practice keeping secrets."

Alice simply smiled.


When the girls met up with Alice and Tracy, Tracy arranged to have two cribs arrive when Brook Lyn was at school.

"We bought a crib." Alice excitedly said.

Brook Lyn raised an eyebrow. " Five months and you bought a crib. One might think you are excited about the baby."

Tracy looked at Alice, who smiled. "One might also think you were a smartass."

"I come by that trait genetically, Granny."

"Good. We can blame your parents this weekend."

After they dropped Serena off, Brook Lyn asked a question that was bugging her.

"After the baby is born, where would I live?"

"I assume in our house, unless you can't stand the crying." Her grandmother answered dryly.

"In other words, Brook, we would love it if you want to keep living with us, after the birth. If you don't, well, we deal with that." Alice replied.

"Oh. Cool. So it's up to me."

"Definitely."
