Ding dong!

"Come in!" Spencer called out, too busy trying to find himself lunch to open the door.

Leah was in their bedroom sleeping.

"Hi." JJ greeted from the kitchen doorway. "Emily said that Leah was having a rough week, so I brought you guys a corn casserole."

Spencer backed away from the refrigerator. "You have great timing. Just set it on the island."

JJ complied as Leah came into the kitchen, looking exhausted. She'd really let herself slip since taking her leave, especially over the weekends when Declan and Sailor weren't there with her.

"Hi, JJ." She mumbled sleepily. "I must look awful." Leah ran a hand through her hair.

"All things considered, you look great." JJ assured her. "How have you been?"

Leah groaned. "I think our kids are holding wrestling matches in there."

"Really?" Spencer asked.

"Metaphorically, yes." Leah smiled at her husband. "See, feel them."

"Where?" Spencer asked.

Leah laughed. "Anywhere."

Spencer's face lit up as he felt his children's movements.

"So, Spence?" JJ asked. "Do you remember telling me that a baby kicking before it was born freaked you out? Before Henry was born? Does it still freak you out?"

Spencer frowned a little. "Not really, not the same way. On a whole new level, though, yes."

JJ smiled. "I bet you can't wait for them to get out here."

Leah rolled her eyes with a laugh. "Amen!"


Please review and check out my other stories! Thanks. This story is done and the odds of my next story being a CM story are 18 of 23. BTW, the reason this took me so long to write is because I've had school, studying, and homework to put up with, plus my FictionPress account. So thanks for being patient with me.
