Author note: So I was planning to write chapter 10 as the last one that I do for this storyline. But I wanted to make sure that I cover the pregnancy number 4 all the way though. I have over 5 months to write and chapter 11 will have 5-9 months and welcomes the new baby and adjusting the new member of their family. I am planning on writing a new sequal to this.

Anna had a good visit with her brother and now it's time for her to get use to be the only one home during the day with the kids. Steve loves coming home and being with their family. Steve walks into the living room to find Lucas watching his favorite toy. He is almost getting ready to crawl. Steve is hoping that his son skips the crawling stage and head straight to walking. Makilya is already walking around. She passed thou the crawling stage. Lauren gets upset at her younger sister now since she can walk. Steve sees his oldest daughter and moves over to pick her up before Makilya gets her hair. Steve sits on the couch with her. Steve starts reading a book to her as Anna comes into the room.

Anna: This is so cute.

Steve: babe, shh. She's spending time with her daddy.

Anna: You are such a good daddy.

Steve: what are you talking about? I thought that I was a great daddy.

Anna: You are but according to Danny.

Steve: and you are listening to him?

Anna: no.

Steve: that is good.

Anna and Steve kiss and hang out with their kids. Anna is about four months pregnant with their fourth child. In a month, they need to figure out if they are having a boy or a girl. They both decided that this baby will be the last baby for them. Danny knocks on the door and then comes into the room.

Steve: hey, man. what's up?

Danny: nothing much. Rachel decided that she wants to keep Grace for the weekend that I am supposed to have my child because it's her son's birthday.

Steve: yeah well that sucks.

Danny: mind if I hang out with you guys?

Anna: don't mind at all. You're family after all.

Lauren falls asleep without anyone knowing. Anna and Danny helps taking the twins up to the nursey. Steve takes Lauren upstairs to her room so she can sleep. They all head back down stairs and Anna sits on the couch next to her husband for the rest of the kids nap. Anna goes and make some lunch for the group.

Anna: Hey you guys want some lunch?

Steve: yeah.

Danny: sure.

The group eat their lunch and wait for the kids to wake up. They enjoy the rest of the day with some family time.

The next morning

Steve wakes up to getting a phone call from the governor about a new case or that's what he told Anna but really it was her brother that was calling so he can help him with his surprise.
