"Hey Davis' and Davis', how you doing Mama?" Jimmy laughed leaning down to her little belly.
"I'm fine. A little morning sickness, but I'm actually really good." she laughed as he leaned up to hug him.
"I have never seen you so happy Ava. It's really good to see you so happy." he smiled looking over at Roger who was bringing the meet outside to the yard.
"I've never been so happy. I'm married to Roger, I'm carrying our twins and I'm out of the business. I'm finally Ava again. I'm the happiest I've ever been." she smiled looking over at him.
"I'm glad. I really am. You're heart wasn't into performing for a while. It's nice to see you happy like this." he smiled as the doorbell rang.
"Thanks Jimmy. For everything." she smiled before Roger rushed into the house.
"That's Will." he called out going over to Ava and Jimmy.
"OK Baby, calm down. You're gonna scare home right out of the neighborhood." she laughed looking up at him.
"I'm fine. I'm good. Can I answer the door now?" he asked looking down at her like a little kid as Ava and Jimmy laughed.
"Yes Roger, you can answer the door now." Ava laughed looking up at him as he reached out for the door.
"Roger, Ava. You guys look almost exactly as I remember you." Will smiled standing in the door way.
"Hi Will. It's really good to see you." Ava smiled leaning in to hug you.
"It's really good to see you too. And you two. Wow, when Roger said you were carrying twins, he was not kidding. Pretty soon these babies will be carrying you." he laughed looking down at Ava's belly.
"Yeah, they're making their presence pretty well known." Ava laughed looking up at Roger who was smiling from ear to ear.
"Hi Will." he smiled leaning over to hug him.
"It's great to see you again Roger. I missed you so much." he said patting his back.
"I missed you too Will." Roger smiled looking over at him.
"Will, you're here." Mrs. Davis called out rushing in from the back yard to hug her nephew.
"Hi Aunt Abby. Can you believe these two? 10 years couldn't couldn't keep them apart." he laughed looking over at them.
"Well, you know us." Ava laughed looking up at him.
"Come on, let's go in the yard. Everyone's here." Roger smiled looking down at everyone. As they went to the backyard, everyone made their introductions. Roger, Ava, Jimmy, June and Will caught up and told stories about when they were in high school and the bohemians laughed and had a great time. It felt like old times.
"So what is it you wanted to tell us Will?" Ava asked drinking her iced tea as they sat at the table on the deck.
"It can wait." he smiled looking over at them.
"So how long are you here Will?" Collins asked drinking his stoli.
"I don't know. I was gonna go back to Westchester tonight, but I really want to spend more time here. It's been a while since I've been back here." he smiled looking over at him.
"You can stay with us. Me and Mark share a house down the block. We have plenty of room." Collins smiled looking over at him.
"OK Thanks. I appreciate it." he smiled as Roger and Ava smiled at each other. "What are you two hoping for? Two boys, two girls, one of each?" he asked drinking his beer.
"Yep." Roger laughed holding Ava close to him.
"We don't mind, as long as they're healthy." Ava smiled looking up at Roger.
"Amen to that." he smiled lifting his beer bottle up as everyone joined in.
"It was so great to see Will again. I really missed him." Roger smiled as they got into bed.
"Yeah it was. Did you notice how him and Collins were looking at each other?" she smiled rubbing lotion into her hands.
"Do you think that's what he wants to tell us?" Roger asked slipping his arms around her and holding her close to him.
"Maybe." she smiled looking up at him.
"Then maybe him and Collins will start dating and he'll be living around here again." he smiled leaning down to kiss her.
"Maybe." she smiled before laying back on his chest as they fell asleep. Ava was the first to wake up the next morning. She looked up at Roger and he looked so peaceful. She loved watching him sleep. She went downstairs to start making breakfast. When she entered the kitchen Ms. Parker was standing at the stove. "Um... mom?" she called out looking over at her.
"Hi honey. You look so beautiful." she smiled rushing out from behind the counter to hug her.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" she asked looking over at her.
"I wanted to see my girl." she smiled looking over at her.
"But what about work?" she asked smiled at her.
"I took a couple of weeks off. I wanted to spend some time with you and Roger. You're showing already. Oh my goodness. Look at you." she gushed looking up at her.
"Yeah, they're here." she smiled caressing her little belly.
"You look amazing Ava. You and Roger must be so happy." she smiled looking up at her.
"We are. We can't believe we're having twins." she smiled looking over at her.
"Well, your dad's a twin, so there was always a chance." she smiled looking over at her.
"I'll just be happy if they're healthy." she said looking over at her.
"Don't worry sweetie, they will be. Roger would never let anything happen to you or these babies. You're negative now and he's gonna make sure you stay that way. I trust Roger." she smiled looking over at her.
"Me too mom." she smiled as Ms. Parker went back around to the stove.
"Now, why don't you get your husband up so we can have breakfast together." she smiled as she continued making the pancakes.
"OK." she smiled before turning around and going back upstairs.
