Hey guys! I'm back with a brand new chapter for "The Not Perfect Life"! So how was that last chapter, huh? Very family and romantic fluff? It really was? Yes! That's exactly what I was going for! Lots of fluff, romance, and family stuff! And what is it that I'm going for in this chapter? Ummm, let's just say, it's more parenting/family/romance fluff! I want to get a lot of it in before they've to go through all of the drama I am gonna put them through later on. And now let's get on with the rest of the beginning author's note.
Gabe: And we areeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee backkkk! *trying to sound like he's on a radio show* With more, of TNPL! (the nickname for this story) in the last chapter there was a lot of Bethan family and marriage fluff that had everyone passing out with feels or so I was told or I saw...
Brandon: Gabe, babe, stop being all weird alright? It's very creepy. Like very creepy.
Gabe: I can be weird whenever I want to be, just like I can be either, happy, grumpy, sad, moody and excited whenever I wanna be. Sooo, *sticks out his tongue*
Me: I'm surprised that nobody's made a period joke, or a pregnant joke... about this while thing yet... just give them some time and they will do this.
Erica: About a month after this chapter is published they will end up making a joke about it.
Me: Yep, basically, alright-y then! Who wants to do the disclaimer?!
Brandon: I have been rubbing off on her.
Me: *nods* Yeah, now shut your mouth, who what's to do the disclaimer?
Jane: I will do it for you, Bethan. Alright, *straightens up in her chair* in no way does, Bethan Forever own My Babysitter's a Vampire or any of us characters from it, but however, she does own her OCs, her storyline-plot line and everything else you see in this story, and of course WE ALL KNOW by now if Bethan Forever owned all of us and the show, let's just say my stupid big brother and Benny would have 'hooked' up by now.
And now, we are on to the shout-outs!
MBAV fan66: Hehehe, here's some more feels for you. Sure you can totally rub Benny's tummy when he's further along, heck you can do it now. Haha, yep, Ethan Jr. is more like Benny, in the personality department. *giggles* Yep the new little bundle of joy arrives they'll be just as cute as Belle and Ethan Jr. and I hope you enjoy the second chapter!
TiredOfBeingNice: I think I do know how excited you were for the first chapter. I was just as about excited as you were while writing it. - I love them so much too, - yep, Benny's pregnant! We'll see more of his pregnancy in this chapter. - I hope that you enjoy the second chapter of this story! :)
In this chapter, I will be focusing more Benny's pregnancy, of course the kids will be apart of this chapter as well, but more slightly focused on Benny's pregnancy. And Bethan relationship too, and I know you guys are wondering when Benny and Ethan will tell their kids, and the rest of the Morgan family, well all I can say is look out for the next three chapters! And I will announce what to expect in chapter three at the bottom's author's note.
And also, face-claim for Zaria is still open! So if you have an actress face-claim for me, I will totally look into her and you'll get a shout out in the next chapter!
What else should I say...? Expect some fluffiness in this chapter! From romantic fluff and parenting fluff! You might have a heart attack or faint from the feels, I will /or/ might be giving you guys.
Also, I might or might not explain how Belle and Ethan Jr. know about the supernatural world in this chapter. Who knows, might explain it in chapter three... we will have to see about it.
So without further ado... I give you all, chapter two of The Not Perfect Life! Enjoy my lovelies! :)
And cry, and cry, and cry. -
~Bethan Forever
Chapter Two - There's A Little Bitty Bean Inside Me
Benny's Point Of View - A Few Days Later
I took a deep breath in and out through my nose as I began to squirm around a bit in my warm bed, when I realized something was spooning me from behind and then I realized that something was my husband, Ethan, who was spooning me from behind, sometime after I had fallen asleep he had rolled over, took me into his arms, then fell asleep and ended up spooning me. Not that I didn't mind waking up like this, all warm in my bed, listening to the rain outside the window (again) and cuddling with Ethan, but, the reason why I am moving around; is that I really have to pee, like really bad. But I really didn't want to get up right now...
Shit, I hate this peeing urge crap stuff, but if I move around some more and get comfortable maybe it'll just go away like all of the other urges, so I just did that- for a few minutes, but I was unable to get into a comfortable position and the urge to go to the bathroom was much stronger now that I waited a few minutes.
Well, now I do have to go to the bathroom. And I've to get out of my warm bed and out of Ethan's arms. I opened my eyes and made a move to get out of the bed and my husband's arms when the arm around my waist tightened and pulled me back into the bed. I felt Ethan move his face into my neck and he began to nuzzle it.
"Ethan," I whined some, still trying to get out of bed, only to have Ethan again pull me back into his arms. "I need to get up for a second."
"No, too comfortable," Ethan mumbled into my neck, planting a small kiss on it before snuggling more into me.
"But, babe... I really, really have to pee," I told him, wriggling around in his hold. And as soon as I told him that, Ethan let me go out of his hold, I rolled out of bed and stood up, I felt a little-light love tap on my butt and I turned around
"Aright, but come right back, I wanna cuddle some more, before we do have to get up," he said, I nodded my head and then bolted out of the bedroom and towards the bathroom to do my business, now I'm not going to say anything about it, let's just say I've never had to pee so bad in my whole life.
After I got finished using the bathroom, I headed back towards the master bedroom, - I used to could hold my pee for as long as I possible could, (like that one time I waited in line for like five hours for that video game, Ethan and I had been waiting on for along time, and I had to pee the entire time!) but after having Belle and Ethan Jr. I'm unable to do that anymore, I always thought that was just a rumor, and that it wasn't true - but I ended up finding out that it was true, when I nearly had an accident when I just sneezed, just by a little bitty sneeze. And so, my bladder has been unable to hold my pee ever since then. And it really is a pain in the ass, but it's so worth it.
I grinned as I opened pushed open the door to see Ethan, still laying in bed and on his side, his hair was sticking up everywhere (god, I love his bedhead hair) he had his eyes closed and mouth open, I didn't know if he was actually asleep or just pretending to be asleep, - I would find out in a second - I closed the door very quietly and tip-toed back over to the bed, I laid down just to be pulled into Ethan's arms once more.
He nuzzled my neck again, taking deep inhales of my scent. "You were gone too long..."
"I was only gone for about three minutes, E, that isn't too long."
"I know, but still it felt so much longer than three minutes, Benny-babe," Ethan admitted,
"I know, E, I know, now are we gonna go back to asleep for a bit, until we have to wake up or do... something else...?" I looked at him, hoping he'd get what I was hinting at, but with Ethan being half-asleep, he might not get it, because his brain was still half asleep.
Ethan lifted his head up from my neck and looked down at me. "What do you mean by something else...?"
Yep, I was right, it hadn't clicked with him yet, but hell, I'll just go ahead and answer him. "Well, you know, um- sex," I hissed the last part quietly. "We have about an hour or two, to kill before we're really supposed to wake up and get us and the kids ready, so... we could do it..."
A grin made its way onto Ethan's lips, after I told him what we could do to burn up the time before we had to get up. And then suddenly, I found myself on my back looking up at my husband who was now leaning above me, I smiled up at Ethan, who smiled back and lowered himself down until his body was laying on top of mine, Ethan connected our lips in a kiss, I wrapped my arms around his neck as his hands went to my shirt, pushing it up, I giggled against his lips and leaned up on my elbows as I tried to remove my shirt while kissing my husband, after throwing my shirt onto the floor beside the bed. Ethan laid me back on the bed and began to leave a trail off kisses from my lips, neck, chest and to my stomach, where he stopped and started to caressing my stomach, kissing and talking to the baby inside of it.
"God, I love you, your sister, brother and your daddy so much, it hurts, it hurts so much. But it's so frickin' worth it, it so is, baby," Ethan whispered to my stomach, giving it more kisses and whispering to it as well.
My breathing sped up a bit, at hearing those words coming out of his mouth, but I calmed myself and I ran my fingers through his hair, making him look up at me with his deep dark brown eyes. "And we love you too, Ethan, so damn much, it hurts us too."
He stared at me with a loving look on his face, before he leaned up and gave me another kiss on the lips, except this one had a hell of a lot more heat behind it.
And well I'm just gonna leave it at that.
After our two hours of fun, we had finally gotten out of bed, - although we were upset about our cuddling time getting cut short -, we had to get up, awake up the kids, get them ready, eat breakfast and take them over to Grandma Samantha's house, or Grammy Sammy, as the kids sometimes call her, (she hates being called that, but secretly she loves it). So anyways, now Ethan and I were making breakfast while the kids sat at the small kitchen table that we had in the kitchen.
"So, excited for today?" I asked Ethan, a very hushed voice, we still haven't decided when we were telling the kids that I'm pregnant. And I didn't want them to find out by overhearing it before we were ready to tell them that they were gonna have a baby brother or sister.
"Yeah, because today, we get to see our newest member to our little family," Ethan answered, also un a hushed voice, as he brought over the eggs, that he had just finished making, he put them onto the plates and then put the pan down. "Are you excited?"
"Hell's yea," I replied, before throwing my arms onto his shoulders and giving him a quick kiss.
He moaned lightly and pulled me in for a deeper kiss, (yeah I know we act like teenagers more now then we actually did when we were teenagers). I groaned, letting myself drown into the kiss, letting Ethan pull me closer to him as we made out.
"Daddy, Papa!" Belle's voice called out, as her bare feet ran across the tile flooring from the small kitchen table to the kitchen, where she saw us, frozen in place, lips connected and bodies close together. We slowly broke away from each other and looked at our daughter.
"Hey, sweetie-pie," Ethan smiled at her, rubbing my arm. "Whatcha need?"
Belle held up the crayon, which the top of it had broken off. "The top of my crayon broke off."
We stared at each other, sending silent signals to each other before I walked over to the drawer where we keep all of the pens, crayons, pencils, markers, paper and coloring books. I opened the drawer and took out the sharper for the crayons, then I headed over to Belle and grabbed her hand. "Let's go sharpen your crayon, honey."
As we made our way towards the small kitchen table, I turned around and gave Ethan a wink, who grinned and winked back. Belle and I made our way to the table, where Ethan Jr. was still sitting at, coloring in his Star Wars Rebels' coloring book, Belle hopped back into her seat and gave me the crayon, I bent down to her level and sharpened her crayon back to it's original look and handed it back to her.
"Here you go, honey," I told him, she grabbed the crayon and gave me a smile, (which matched my own smile almost perfectly).
"Thanks, Daddy, you the best," she tells me before going back to coloring, I grinned softly, kissing her head and Ethan Jr.'s head as well, before standing up from my bending position, I placed my hand on my back as I whined some, the back aches are already starting.
"Breakfast is incoming!" Ethan's voice announces, as I turn around to see him rushing into the room holding onto four plates of the breakfast that we had just finished cooking a few minutes ago.
The kids put all of the crayons and markers back into the small container, before pushing it to the middle of the table along with their coloring books so they could eat breakfast. Ethan put Ethan Jr.'s plate in front of him, then he put Belle's plate in front of her then finally putting our plates across from our children.
Ethan Jr. smelt the plate of food, as Belle began dig into her plate (and was also thanking us with her mouth full - I know what you're thinking, we haven't taught her manners, we have taught her manners, actually, she just sometimes forgets to not talk with her mouth full - which she gets from me and Ethan) "This smells yummy, thank, Papa and Daddy," he gave us a grin and dug into his food as well.
Both, I and Ethan sat in our seats across from the kids and started eating our breakfast, as we ate, I kept looking over at Ethan every now and than. I did the same with the kids, but the next time I did it, I noticed that the kids were messing around with their eggs, mostly the yellow yolk part. The feeling of nausea suddenly set in my stomach while I stared at the eggs, oh shit, morning sickness, of all of the times you could do this at, you choose now to strike?!
I sat there for a second, trying to take deep breaths to help with the nausea. But it wasn't working as well as I thought it'd, 'cause I looked over at my kids to see Belle breaking her egg yolk and that's when the feeling of nausea got stronger and it also came with the feeling that my breakfast was about to make its way up. My hand flew up to my mouth as the throw up almost came out of my mouth, I pushed myself away from the table and rushed out of the kitchen area, towards the bathroom.
After I slammed the door shut, I ran over to the toilet, just barely opening up the toilet lid before my breakfast came back up.
Meanwhile, back at the table, Ethan Jr. and Belle looked at their father in confusion as they listened to their other father slamming the bathroom door shut. Ethan Jr. turned his confused green eyes on his father. "What wrong with Daddy?"
"Daddy hasn't been feeling well, he probably caught a bug," Ethan lied, he hated lying to his children, he really did, but he didn't want his children to find out this way, so saying Benny probably had a stomach virus seemed like a good lie to say.
"Oh," they both nodded their little heads. "We hope that Daddy feels better, is he goin' to the doctors?"
"Yep, he's going to the doctor today, sweeties," he answered standing up from the table, "I'm gonna go check up on Daddy, okay?" Again they nodded their heads and Ethan kissed the tops of their heads, before heading off to the bathroom, where he heard his husband throwing up into what he knew as the toilet.
Ethan knocked on the bathroom door, "Benny? B? Babe? You alright?"
I groaned lifting head my head from the toilet to look over at the door, where on the other side Ethan was standing there, asking me if I was alright. "Ugh, yeah, I'm-" I turned my head back into the toilet and threw up again. "Fine... ugh, just morning sickness being an ass again," I told him, wiping off my mouth, before standing up from my knees, I flushed the toilet and went over to the sink.
"Is it okay to come in?"
"Yeah it is, c'mon in."
Ethan opened the door as I was rinsing out my mouth with mouthwash. He stood behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "It was the breakfast wasn't it?"
I spit out the mouthwash and shook my head. "No, it was the eggs.."
"But I didn't put any egg- oh shit," Ethan remembered that he had put eggs on the kids' plates. "Damn it, Benny, I'm sorry, I didn't know that the eggs were gonna make you sick."
"Either did I, so don't beat yourself up, although there won't be any egg eating, seeing or tasting for at least nine months," I said, rinsing out my mouth with water this time before turning it off and turning in Ethan's arms to face him, Ethan cupped my face bringing me into a kiss.
I moaned as Ethan nip at and bit my bottom lip, before pulling away. "Hmm, come on, the kids are worried about Daddy," he breathed out, pulling me along with him, I flicked off the lips and closed the door as Ethan led me back into the room, where the kids ambushed me with hugs.
"Daddy!" they shouted hugging me tightly. "You okay? We hear that you've nasty stomach bug."
"Yea, Daddy's A-Okay, just a little sick that's all, but I'll be alright," I assured at them, returning their hug. "Come on, finish your breakfast that way we can get you guys dressed up and head over to grandma's house."
Belle and Ethan Jr. broke the hug, nodding their heads as they skipped back over to the table, I felt an arm wrap around my waist as Ethan appeared by my side once again. "You feeling like eating?" he questions me quietly.
I shook my head, "No, not really.." Really, for (once in a very long time) I wasn't in the mood to eat, I sometimes used to get this way back when I was first pregnant with the twins, I would throw up and not feel like eating a thing. Everybody (mostly Ethan, 'cause you know father of our children, my boyfriend/fiancé -at that time-) was worried about it, but Dr. Tara, had reassured everybody that it was quite normal and that it'd also die down soon, which it did. So it was going to do that this time. - Or at least I hoped that it'd.
"Alright, B, let me know if you get hungry," Ethan reminded me, I nodded my head with a reply of "I will", before we headed back over to the table and sat back into our chairs, the whole time, I watched Ethan and the kids eat their breakfast.
Damn you morning sickness. Even though it's all worth it in the end, to hold my newborn baby at the end... but still morning sickness is a huge pain in the ass.
Little whiles later, we were all packed up in the car, and were heading off to Samantha's house, the kids were in the backseat, singing along with the songs that was being played on the radio, Ethan would look back at them, grinning softly before sending very loving looks at my way, which I in return gave him loving looks back and made kissy faces at him.
I closed my eyes, relaxing my body, (because my back was starting to hurt me, and the rain outside was making me feel very sleepy as well) and listening to the sounds around me, my kids singing along to the song Wild, and the rain hitting the windshield on the car. I sighed sleepily.
"Hey, baby," Ethan's voice whispered to me and soon after that I felt a hand on my leg, gently rubbing it. My eyes slowly opened and I looked over at Ethan, I gave him a tired/lazy smile as I stretched out my legs.
"Hey.."
"How you feeling?"
A yawn came out as I replied to my husband. "Great, sleepy though, but great."
"Good, good, B, but don't go falling asleep on me, we gotta say bye to the babies in a few minutes," Ethan turned down the street, which I recognized as our old neighborhood. I still miss this old neighborhood, I really do, it has lots of old memories. Painful, but good/old memories.
We drove down the street for a few more minutes, until we pulled up to Samantha's house (aka Ethan's old house) and parked in the drive way, Ethan unbuckled his seatbelt and unlocked the doors, before telling me to stay in the car and then got out of the car.
The front door slammed and out came Grandma Samantha, wearing her winter/rain gear on as she came running over to the car, I rolled down my window as Ethan opened the sliding door and she ran up to the car.
"Grandma!" Belle and Ethan Jr. exclaimed seeing their grandmother, I couldn't help but to smile happily and (a bit sadly, because they'll never really get to have a relationship with my grandma and my mother, 'cause of them being no longer with us, they did know about them and loved them a whole hell of a lot. Even though they haven't been able to see them, the last time I ever saw my mother was the wedding and Grandma appeared once for a few minutes before she had to leave, so they never really saw them, they only ever saw home videos or photo albums...)
Samantha held out her arms as Ethan got the kids unbuckled from their car-seats and they rushed out of the car, attacking her with hugs. "Oh, goodness, how're my wonderful grandbabies doing today?" she asked them as they pulled away from the hug.
"Great, grandma, but Daddy has a stomach bug," Ethan Jr. replied, looking up at me. "But he's going to the doctors today, so he gonna be better soon."
"I should hope so, we don't need your Daddy being sick, period, right?" Samantha looked at the kids and they shook their heads "yes". "Alright, well, come on in, we need to get you two out of this confusing weather, because we don't wanna have you two come down with a cold..."
"Wait you can't go without giving Daddy and Papa a kiss goodbye," Ethan reminded.
The two giggled and ran back into Ethan's arms, they gave him kisses on the cheek, they let out loud giggles as Ethan tickled their sides before picking them both up and bringing them to my rolled down window. "Bye, Daddy! We wove you."
"Bye, sweeties, I wove you too," I smiled lovingly at my beautiful children, as they gave me little kisses on both my cheeks and I gave them little smooches on their cheeks, Ethan ran around to the driver's side door and opened the door just as thunder boomed, shaking the car a bit and the thundering was soon followed by lightning.
I watched as Belle, Ethan Jr. and Samantha run back up to the house just as it began to harder rain -once again-, they stood on the porch, for about a minute, waving 'bye' until the thunder boomed again, making the kids shriek loudly in what I guess was happiness, (our kids just loved thunderstorms.. just loved them) before pushing the front door open and running inside with Samantha right behind them.
"Man, this weather, it just can't make up its mind huh?" Ethan raised an eyebrow, turning on the car and taking it out of park as he looked over at me.
"Yeah, someone is bound to get sick from this very crappy weather," I agreed, rolling up my window.
Ethan looked behind him as he pulled out of the driveway. "Most likely one of us, most likely me or you. That's going to get sick."
"Yep, most likely, but let's not talk about it or else it'll might happen."
"Haha, agreed, babe."
And the rest of the drive to the doctor's office, was filled with Ethan and I talking about or to the baby while holding each other's hands.
Ethan's Point Of View
Benny and I were waiting in Tara's office waiting room, waiting on Tara to get finished with one of her patients and while we were waiting Benny was having to fill out a form. Since we haven't been at Tara's office in a long time, they make you fill out a form to make sure that your allergies hadn't changed and etc. etc. And after Benny was finished filling out the form, he was supposed to hand it to Tara, she'd look over it and then hand to one of her nurses, who would put it in his file.
And while Benny was filling it out, I was flipping through one of those pregnancy magazines, because why the hell not? I actually came across some good information on second time pregnancies. "Hey, babe, did you know that second time pregnancies are most likely to have shorter labors then first time pregnancies do?"
"Really? That's something, so I won't be in labor as long as I was with the twins?" Benny asked, looking away from the form a second. "Not that I was in labor for that long, but still..."
"Yeah I know, B, but they say it's most likely that you won't be in labor for that long. But some-second time pregnancies labor can last up to as long as first-time pregnancies..." I answered truthfully, putting down the magazine.
"Well, I don't care how long the labor is, because we know in the end that it's so going to be worth the pain," my husband grinned, writing out the last few lines in the form.
I chuckled. "Yeah, it'll be and promise me that when you're in a lot of pain, that you won't scream at me to 'you were never, ever gonna let me touch you again and threaten that you're gonna rip off that one part of me. etc.' and break my hand in the process too."
"Heh, I can't make a promise like that, but I will try my best to scream at you, threaten to rip off that one part of you and break your hand."
"Eh, I'll take what I can get..." I leaned in and gave him kiss on the lips. Benny smiled into the kiss, kissing me back, gently before we pulled away.
Benny returned to filling out the last lines on the form while I just took out my phone and turned it onto silent, before slipping it back into my pocket. I took a small look around the half empty waiting room, there was a few couples in the room, a few girls (and two guys) by themselves, all of them supporting slightly/small/very large baby bumps. And of course, some of them looked either happy, or sad, miserable, depressed, or just plain pissed off.
Ahh man, I miss those mood-swings, I thought to myself, as the door to the back of the building connecting to the waiting room and out walked a very pregnant girl with Tara right beside her.
"Alright, Carrie, if you haven't started labor after trying all of these kick-starters to begin labor, just call me and I will get you settle into a hospital and help start labor, okay?" She told the girl who nodded her head, she smiled at the girl. "See you soon, Carrie."
With that the girl, - Carrie - walked towards the door and left the building. And Tara turned to the nurse that was behind the window. "Okay, Elisa, who's next?"
"A... um, Mr. Benny Morgan," the nurse answered the doctor's question and I can tell from where I was siting Tara's eyebrows raised in wonder when she heard that name.
"I haven't heard that name in a long time, I wonder..." Tara's voice trailed off before turning around, to see us standing up from our seats, while Benny held onto the clipboard with the forms on it, her mouth opened in what I guess was shock. "Oh my god, Benny, Ethan, it's been forever since the last time I saw you two," she walked over to us and gave us each a hug.
"Actually it's been about three years, but it seems like forever," I pointed out after pulling away from the hug.
Tara shrugged her shoulders. "That's completely true, alright so, follow me and we'll get you set up."
We followed Tara through the door and down the hall until we reached room number eight, which was Tara's room, she entered the room and took off her coat as we walked in and she closed the door behind her.
"I see you filled out the forms mind if I take a look while you make yourself comfortable?"
"Nope, don't mind," Benny replied, handing over the clipboard. As Tara looked over them, I stood beside the examination table, as Benny hopped onto it, he moved back some until his butt hit the raised part of the table, I reached over and took his hand into mine. He looked up at me and grinned, I brought my hand up to his face and pulled it towards my face and brushed my lips across his.
And then I pulled away and Benny pouted, giving me his puppy dog eyes, ugh I love/hate it when he gives me those eyes, I love them, because he looks so innocent (even though he is so way past being innocent) and loving and why I hate it, is because I always, 'always' give into them so freakin' easily, that's what I get for teaching him "the puppy dog eyes". I leaned down and pecked his lips. "Later, babe."
"Okay, fine..." Benny sighed out quietly, looking slightly upset, ugh damn it, Benny, you know that I hate making you upset.
"Benny, babe," I whispered very, very quietly, making him look up. "I didn't mean to make you upset, but we do have to wait for later, because we aren't alone and we're about to see our baby growing inside you, right now."
"I know, it's just the hormones making me act really weird, I know you didn't mean to make me upset... I do, E..." he answered, bringing my hand up to his lips and kissing my knuckles.
Then Tara cleared her throat, making us stand/sit up straighter, as she placed the clipboard down with a grin on her face. "Sorry for making you fill out those forms, we like do that to all of the patients that haven't been in so long, just to make sure that nothing's changed, in your case nothing has, so let's move on.." She walked over to us and told Benny to lay back some on the examination table. "So when did you take the pregnancy test?"
"Um, I say about a week or two ago," Benny tells her, she nodded her head.
"And when did you come down with the morning sickness..?"
"I think about two weeks after we forgot to use a condom."
She nods her head again. "Okay, we'll see how far along you are with an ultra sound."
We nodded our heads, as she went over to the light switch, flicking off the lights, she came back over to us and rolled the ultra sound machine to us. She turned it out and then brought out the gel stuff to rub on Benny's stomach. "Raise up your shirt."
Benny did as he was told and raised up his shirt, Tara squeezed the gel out, onto Benny's bare stomach, which caused him to hiss from the coldness. "Damn, I forgot how cold that stuff was," he admitted with a light chuckle, looking up at me.
I grinned softly at him, man all I feel in this moment is; complete love, and I'm loving that feeling. And there is no pun intended there.
"Shall we get started?" Tara asked, looking in between us.
"We shall."
She smiled, taking out the wand for the ultra sound machine, she placed it on Benny's stomach and began to move it around looking for our baby that was resting inside his stomach. I inhaled and exhaled slowly, feeling slightly nervous for some reason. Benny must've sensed that I was feeling nervous, because he gave me a reassuring squeezed my hand.
"I love you," he mouthed to me.
"And I love you too," I mouthed back.
We looked back at the screen as Tara stopped on this one spot, she pointed to one spot on the screen that looked the size of a bean and she turned to look at us. "And there's your baby."
Benny and I stared at the image of our baby bean (it's official I'm nicknaming our baby, "baby bean" until we get settled on the names for him/her) on the ultra sound machine, we couldn't believe it. That little bitty bean is our baby, oh my god it looks so freaking amazing, it's so wonderful. (yeah, I know that I seem amazed by all of this, well you should've seen me when I saw and heard the twins and their heartbeats for the first time, I feel the same way then as I do now..)
I watched my husband as he reached out and touched the ultra sound machine's screen where our baby was resting at, then he brought his hand back to his mouth and leaned back against the examination table's lifted up back, continuing to stare at the screen.
"Would you like to hear your baby's heartbeat?"
"Ye-s, yes, we'd love to hear our baby's heartbeat..." Benny replied, after finding his words.
Tara grinned and pressed a few buttons on the ultra sound machine. And then... thump, thump, thump. The sound of thumping filled the room, Benny oh'ed through his hand over his mouth and I began to smile like a huge moron, Benny looked over at me with tears shining in his eyes, (and I remembered the first time Benny heard the twins' heartbeats, he had the same look on his face as he does now).
"Oh my God, this is wow... I totally forgot what it was like to hear the heartbeat," Benny breathed out, as the heartbeat continued to beat throughout the room.
"That little bitty bean is already making a lot of noise, he or she is already taking after us," I stated. Benny looked back at me with a huge smile on his face and I couldn't help but to return the smile to him.
"Do you want me to run a spell scan on you, so you two can know the gender now... or do you want to find out later...?"
I looked at Benny and he looked at me, we stared at each other for what seemed like minutes (but it was actually only a few seconds) looking into each other's eyes, smiles appeared on our faces, we already knew the answer to that question.
My husband turned back to Tara, "We want to find out the gender later, I think it'll be more fun to guess what we're having."
"Alright, I get it... do you two want pictures?"
"I think you already know the answer to that one Tara," I told her, she smiled and started to click around on the machine, until the pictures came out of the side of the machine and she carefully took them out before turning off the ultra sound and handing Benny a towel.
"Thanks," Benny thanked her. He wiped off his stomach and rolled his shirt back down, Tara flicked on the lights again and walked back over with the ultra sound images in her hands. She handed us
"I'll be back in a minute with some stuff, I'll let you two talk while I'm out.." she announced, we shook our heads and she exited out of the room, leaving Benny and I by ourselves in the room with the images of our baby from the ultra sound.
"Can you believe it..? That we made that little bitty bean?" Benny questions, pointing at our baby in the ultra sound images.
I smiled. "I can believe it, Benny-baby, we made that little bitty bean that's growing inside of you.." I kissed his hand that I was still holding and brought it up to my face as Benny stared at the images.
"Yeah..." he trailed off, a smile tugging at his lips before bringing up the picture to his lips and kissed it. "I love you baby girl/boy," he looked at me. "And I love you too..."
"I love you both," I leaned in and gave him a lingering kiss on the lips, Benny let the images of our baby bean fall onto his stomach as he cupped my face with his hand.
As I said before, I love my life with my beautiful/handsome husband and our wonderful babies.
"Hey, E...?" Benny looked over at me, as I drove through town, we had left Tara's office about two hours ago, and had went to eat lunch together after that, then we run to the store and picked up a few things and now we had almost an hour before we had to get the twins and we had nothing else to do... so.
"Yeah, what is it, babe?"
He inhaled deeply before exhaling. "Can I go talk to my mom and grandma? I haven't talked to 'em in a while and we've the time."
I stopped the car at a stop sign, there was nobody around us, I put the car into park for a second and turned to him. "Of course you can go talk to them, baby. I would never, ever tell you couldn't talk to them."
Benny leaned over and pecked my lips. "You're wonderful, you know?"
A light chuckle escape my lips. "Yea, I do know that babe." I took the car out of park and turned my focus back on the road, as I took the turns to the cemetery.
After Benny's grandma passed, we had his mother's body moved from the cemetery where she was buried in Benny's old hometown to where grandma was buried, so he wouldn't have to go far just to see and talk to her. And they're buried next to each other, because it seemed like a good idea and it really was... 'cause Benny got to talk to them both at the same time.
Few minutes later, I pulled the car into the Whitechapel Cemetery and drove the car down the small road in the cemetery - until I reached where Grandma and Ella's graves were at and I stopped the car.
Benny unbuckled his seatbelt and looked at me. "You don't mind if I go first? Just for a few minutes."
"Yeah, yeah, of course, B."
He smiled and exited the car, I rolled down the window and turned down the radio, to listen to what my husband was going to say, as he walked up to his grandma and mom's graves.
"Hey, Mom, Grandma," he greeted bending down and cleaned the leaves off of their tombstones, "I don't know if you guys have seen or heard about it yet up there, but I'm having another baby, yeah that's right. You are /or/ were going to be a grandma and a great-grandma again..." What sounded like a heavy breath came out of his mouth. "I miss you guys like crazy and I hate that you aren't here to see Belle, Ethan Jr. and the baby grow up into wonderful people, but you do get to see them, somehow..."
Then after that, my husband began to whisper quietly to the graves, and I heard a few soft sobs coming from his mouth, so I decided to get out of the car, knowing that he needed comfort right now, I unbuckled my seatbelt and hopped out of the car. I walked over to my husband as he tried to stand back up, but was struggling to do so, most likely because his legs had fallen asleep.
I walked up behind him just as he almost fell over, if I hadn't wrapped my arms around his waist to keep him from falling. "Woah, you okay, babe?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, just my legs had fell asleep from bending in that position for awhile. And my hormones/emotions are just getting the best of me at this moment," he sniffled out an apology, trying wipe off his tears that were rolling down his cheeks, I shook my head.
"No, you don't need to apologize for crying baby, you need to cry, it's better then holding everything inside."
He sniffles again, leaning against my hold on his waist, staring down at the tombstones. "I bet they're smiling at you. At this very minute.." I told him, resting my chin on his shoulder.
"I guess they are," he agreed. His head falling back into the crook of my neck, "I still hate that they aren't here, but at least I know they're around us..." I just nodded my head, he sighed out again. "I thank God though, that those assholes that murdered them, are gone. Out of our lives forever."
"Forever," I repeated the last word. Thank god, we didn't have to worry about them, coming back into our lives and trying to screw up things we have built so freaking long and hard, just for them to be like a tornado, come in and destroy everything in its path.. But that wasn't going to happen... It wasn't going to.
We stayed like this for a moment before the thunder boomed and lightning lit up the darken skies again, basically telling everyone that it was about to start pouring down rain again. Jeez, what is up with this weather? Hopefully nothin' supernatural... or mother nature just being weird.
"We should get going, it looks like it's going to start pouring down rain anytime now and we gotta pick up the kids..."
Benny nodded. "Yep, we should get going," I let go of his waist and went to turn around, but Benny went over to the tombstones, I watched him bring his hand up to his lips and kissed it, than bring his hand down to his Mom's headstone, he left it there for a second then moved over to Grandma Weir's headstone, he did the same thing, than he got up. "Bye, Mom, Grandma, I will be back soon.."
I locked our hands together [when Benny got back over to me] and we headed back to the car, so we could pick up the kids from grandma Samantha's /aka/ my Mom's house, go back home and do all of the family things we do every night. It was all just perfect.
- Later That Night -
Couple hours later, we had picked up the kids from my Mom's, drove back home, got all of the stuff out of the car, got the twins all set, ordered in some dinner, [we had our favorite food delivered to the house] Pizza and of course, Benny ended up timing them, I just chuckled and shook my head at him, while our kids joined in with him on the timing of the pizza guy. The memories of when Benny used to do that when we were in high school flashed through my head as I watched him with the kids.
And it ended up with the pizza guy being on time, Benny and the twins pouting, and me paying the pizza delivery guy, who asked me why they were pouting and I told him that it was just a thing they did whenever the pizza got here, their way of being excited about the pizza being here, [yeah I know that I told a lie... but I used to say it whenever they saw a teenaged Benny doing it and it always worked] and he believed me - they always did when we were in high school - so there was no reason for them not to believe me now.
After eating dinner, we watched a movie for about an hour before we gathered up the kids and headed upstairs and began to get them ready for bed.
Which is where we found ourselves now, in the bathroom, trying to wash up the twins, who were just too busy playing around in the tub with their toys while we were trying to wash them up, but so far we were getting more wet than the kids and we just ended up laughing along with them.
"Daddy, you sure, you okay?" Belle asked, looking up from the water, her eyes fixed on Benny, who nodded his head, smiling at her.
"Yeah, sweetie, I'm really okay," Benny answered moving her hair away from her face.
"So, no-sickie-sick anymore...?" Ethan Jr. questioned after his sister, see? They do take after us... if you already didn't believe it.
I ran my hand through his wet hair. "No more sickie-sick..."
He gave us a grin that was a mix between mine and Benny's smiles, before going back to playing with his bath toys.
We took turns help getting the twins cleaned up, before we took them out of the tub just as the water was starting to get cold, we dried them off and got them into their sleeping clothes, then brushed out their hair ('cause if you didn't then it'd end up looking more wild than normally would...) then we dried their hair and walked them out of the bathroom and to their bedroom.
As we tucked them into bed, Ethan Jr. looked up at us, using the "puppy dog eyes" trick. I had no idea where they learned it, maybe it's in their DNA, who knows. "Daddy, Papa, can you read us a book before we go to sleep...?"
"Sure, bud," Benny nodded 'okay' for telling the kids a story, before they go to sleep... or they fall asleep during it like they always do.
"Which one do you want us to read?" I asked heading over to the bookcase.
Belle pointed to a row of books that Benny and I knew all too well. "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." One of the twins' favorite books, next to Beauty and the Beast, a few other Harry Potter books, Hunger Games and the Maze Runner series, like their parents before them, they had a huge disliking for the Dusk novels.
"Aright," with that, Benny pulled up the chair, we always sit in whenever we read the twins a bedtime story and pulled it to the middle where their beds were apart from each other, and the twins laid down, staring at Benny and holding onto their blankets and stuffed animals, as my husband began to read the Chamber of Secrets, while I leaned against the wall watching the scene play out in front of me.
Benny's Point Of View
Ethan and I were laying in bed, watching random shows on Netflix. I had my back against the headboard and Ethan had his head laying in my lap, I was running my fingers through his hair, relaxing him, we were tired from getting up early this morning and some other activities that took place after the twins went to sleep and we took a bath of our own.. But instead of going to sleep like we normally would, we decided we'd stay up a little bit later.
And right now we were kind of regretting staying up, because now we were about to freakin' pass out, and also I think that my husband is totally asleep right now, but I had no way of conforming it until...
Ethan let out a little moan and stretched out his body and turned his head a bit in my lap, looking up at me, his eyes were filled with tiredness and love.
"Hey, babe, did you fall asleep?" I greeted, rubbing his forehead.
A relaxed sigh escaped his mouth. "Eh, not really. Just rested my eyes.."
"So basically you took like a baby-nap?"
"Yep, basically..."
I chuckled and continued to run my fingers through his hair, as my other hand grabbed the remote and clicked the TV off of Netflix, than turned off the TV, 'cause I had a feeling that in just a little bit we'd be falling asleep...
"I forgot to ask you babe," Ethan begins, rubbing his eyes with his palm. "Where did you put the ultra sound pictures?"
"I put them in a locked drawer for now, at least- until we tell the kids about their sibling growing inside me."
"Which will be soon. We need to tell them, just need to find the right time, to..." Ethan murmured sleepily.
"We will, E, I will find the right time to tell them, I promise..." I said, he hummed lightly closing his eyes and turning his head to face where the TV was once more... Haha, I think Ethan is just about ready to give in to the sleep that was just calling his name.
Few minutes later, my theory was conformed, Ethan let out a few snores here and there. And his breathing evened out... I moved him around gently trying not to wake him up, I managed not to wake him up, I got him underneath the covers and blankets.
Just as I did that, I felt a chill run down my back, I shivered. Damn it, I forgot that a cold front was supposed to be coming through this week... it was getting cooler inside and I needed to turn the heat up some more. Good thing I noticed it before I went to sleep, or else we all would've woke up the next morning frozen to the beds.
I walked out of the bedroom and towards where the thermostat was at, I rubbed my bare arms walking to it, I checked what it said on the thermostat, Jesus, it was forty degrees outside and it was dropping inside as well, I turned up the heat to about seventy three before heading back to my bedroom.
Closing the door behind me, I walked over to my bed, where Ethan had now rolled over onto his side facing me, I lifted up the covers and blankets and crawled into bed, I shivered some before snuggling up against Ethan's body, who's arm and hand found me underneath the covers and blankets, his arm was now on my waist and his hand was now resting on my stomach. I smiled lightly, before resting my hand on top of his hand and curled more up against him.
I closed my eyes and fell into dreamland, thinking about my husband, my two adorable children and the little bitty bean that was growing inside me.

Whhooooppp! Another nine thousand chapter completed! *cheers loudly* I do hope that there was a lot of fluff in that chapter like I promised there would be! - Benny and Ethan finally got to see their baby! Well actually they got to see their little bitty bean of a baby, but still they got to see their baby. And nope they will not be finding out the gender of the baby until sixteen to twenty weeks of the pregnancy. Ohhhhh which reminds me!
I wanted to ask you guys, if you'd like to pick out names for the baby! But I've already decided on a boy's name, but haven't decided on a middle name for the boy's name and I just can't decide on a girl's name... so if you have any names, you can tell me! And I will reveal the baby's gender in a few more chapters!
(Just the titles of the songs...)
The song that was playing on the radio in the car, when Benny and Ethan are driving the kids to Grandma Samantha's house, is Wild by Troye Sivan (seriously, this song is amazing...)
And the song playing in lightly in the background at the ending scene, is Mine by Taylor Swift
And remember these are just the titles of the songs!
Benny had his first sad scene of the story... poor Benny! :'(
Soo, the twins' knowledge of the supernatural wasn't explained in this chapter. But it should be explained in the next chapter, along with many more things.
The plans for the next three chapters, will be revealed at the ending author's note. The plan for chapter three will be, Ethan and Benny planning a family day, as a way to tell their children about the pregnancy... And that's all I can say, it'll be revealed in the next chapter!
I hoped you guys enjoyed the new chapter! I really, really enjoyed writing it, I mean it. The next update for this story might come in January...? I can't conform it just yet, we will have to see... So the next update will be for MBAV Season Three, I only have about nine percent of that chapter completed, so a long way to go on that one... but I've it plotted out and should've it finished quicker then the first chapter.
I guess there's nothing else to say, other that I will see you guys later!
Read, Review, Follow, Favorite, do whatever you wanna do. :)
Until next time!
