Catherine couldn't believe her eyes as she looked down at the stick.
'It can't be,' Catherine thought.
Catherine looked at the stick again to make sure she saw it right. She sighed deeply before putting the stick away so Steve wouldn't find it. She would talk to him later about it.
Catherine went back downstairs and acted like there was nothing going on. She smiled as she saw Steve on the couch with Kailani. He absolutely loved being a father. She went into the kitchen and started on dinner.
"That smells delicious," Steve spoke as he wrapped his arms around her from behind.
"It's almost done. Can you set the table?"
"Of course."
Steve gave Catherine a kiss before he went to set the table. After dinner Catherine cleaned up while Steve bathed the kids and got them ready for bed. When Catherine came upstairs Steve was sitting in the rocking chair and was reading a story. The picture was just so adorable. Catherine walked up to him and sat down next to him. Once the story was finished Steve handed Kailani to her and they put the babies in their cribs. They gave the babies a kiss and went downstairs. Catherine went to do the laundry as Steve went for a swim.
An hour later Steve was back.
"Hey baby," Steve greeted Catherine who was sitting on the couch.
"Hey Steve, how was your swim?"
"Good. I'm just gonna go get a shower."
Steve gave her a quick kiss before he disappeared upstairs.
10 minutes later he was back downstairs. He sat down next to Catherine and pulled her in for a kiss. Catherine was surprised by Steve's actions but she soon relaxed into the kiss. Steve pushed her down onto the kiss as he deepened the kiss. Catherine eagerly opened her mouth when Steve's tongue swiped over her bottom lip. She felt Steve's hand going up on her leg and under her top. She moaned against his lips when she felt his touch on her bare skin.
Catherine wanted to tell him but she couldn't form the words. She was overwhelmed by the pleasure Steve was giving her. Before Catherine realized what was happening she was already lying naked on their bed. Steve kissed her deeply as he pushed into her.
Catherine moaned as Steve moved in and out of her. It was so delicious. This man knew exactly what she liked. When Steve grabbed her legs and pushed them over his shoulders she was gone. She didn't think it could get any better until Steve wrapped her legs around his waist. He sat up and used her legs for leverage to go faster and harder.
Catherine moaned loudly. She screamed Steve's name as she came. Steve followed her a little later with a loud grunt and he collapsed on top of her.
"Wow Cath, that was amazing," Steve spoke out of breath.
"Yes it was. You're so amazing," Catherine uttered. "I love you."
"I love you too."
Steve pulled out of her and rolled off of her. Catherine turned on her side and faced him. She popped her head up on her elbow.
"Steve, there's something that I have to tell you," Catherine spoke in a serious tone.
Steve turned around to face her. "What is it Catherine?"
Steve saw the look on her face. Catherine was wondering how to tell him.
"Hey Cath, you can tell me anything? What's going on?"
"I'm pregnant."
Steve couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You're pregnant?" Steve asked just to be sure he heard right.
"Yes I am. I know it's soon after we had the twins. Maybe a bit too soon. I was afraid….."
Catherine was silenced when Steve kissed her.
"I love you Cath and I'm always happy to have another baby with you. I know it's soon after the twins but we can handle it. We can handle it together."
Steve brought his head to Catherine's stomach and kissed it. Catherine got a bit teary eyed as she saw this. Steve was so happy about having another baby.
"I didn't know if you were going to like it. I mean so soon after the twins."
"Of course I like it honey. I love it. I know it's soon, but that doesn't make me any less happy. I would love to have another baby with you."
"You would?"
"Yes I would. You're happy about it too right?"
"Yeah I am. It's just a bit of a surprise. I wasn't expecting it."
"I know me neither. But we're gonna be fine. We can handle another baby."
Steve kissed her deeply and they ended up making love again.
The next morning Catherine woke up and she felt Steve's hand on her stomach. She put her hand on top of his.
"Good morning honey," Steve spoke when he felt her hand.
"Good morning baby."
Steve gave Catherine a good morning kiss just as the babies started crying.
"I'll get them," Steve told her.
Steve got the kids changed and dressed and took them downstairs. He put them in their chairs and got breakfast ready for them. Catherine came downstairs and watched as Steve fed Kye his breakfast. Kailani was sitting peacefully in her chair. Catherine's hands went to her stomach. She hoped they would be okay with this new baby. The twins were only 6 months old. They would be around a year when this baby would be here.
"Hey my little sweeties," Catherine spoke as she walked into the kitchen and gave Kye and Kailani a soft kiss. "Has Kailani been fed too?"
"No not yet."
Catherine made Kailani's breakfast and fed her.
It was Sunday so Steve and Catherine didn't have to go to work. They went outside with the babies. Catherine and Steve played with the kids outside. They were having so much fun. Just after lunch they put the babies down for their afternoon nap. Steve took Catherine outside and sat in the hammock. Catherine sat with her back against Steve's chest.
"So, you're really pregnant again?"
"Yes I am."
"How long?"
"I don't know. I just found out yesterday. I took a test and it was positive. I haven't had the chance to make a doctor's appointment just yet. Are you sure you're really happy about this?"
"Of course I am Cath. I know it's not planned but I love it. I always wanna have another baby with you. Are you happy about it?"
"Yes I am."
"Why doesn't that sound convincing to me?"
"I am happy Steve, I am. It's just… It's so soon after we had the twins. I mean they are only 6 months old. They'll be about a year old when this baby is here. It's hard enough raising twins without a new born around. The twins wouldn't be able to do much by themselves yet so we have to look after them and a new born."
"We can handle it Cath. We can handle it together. We can handle anything just as long as we stick together. We're gonna be fine honey."
"I hope so. It's gonna be busy."
"That's okay. We can handle it. It's gonna be nice having a little baby again."
"Yeah I remember how you were when I was pregnant with the twins. You were so sweet."
"And I intend to be that way again. I will be there for you whenever you need me and I'll help you in any way I can."
"Thank you Steve."
"You're welcome Cath."
They gave each other a kiss and Catherine snuggled in Steve's arms.
"You're right, it's gonna be nice having a new born around. They are so cute."
"Yes they are."
They sat in the hammock until the babies woke up from their naps.
…
Monday Catherine called the doctor to make an appointment. She could come in that afternoon. Luckily the day was quiet so they could skip work a little early.
"Hey guys, where are you going?" Danny asked.
"We have to take the twins to get checked out," Steve replied not wanting to tell them that Catherine was pregnant again.
"Ah okay. Everything alright with them?"
"Yes just a normal checkup."
"Ah alright see you tomorrow."
"See ya."
They got to the doctor's office and waited to be called in. The doctor took some of Catherine's blood to do some standard tests on. Catherine lay down on the bed and rolled up her shirt. Steve remembered back to the first time they had their doctor's appointment with the twins. It was the most beautiful moment to see the little baby on the screen.
"Well let's go see if we can find the little baby," the doctor spoke.
She put some gel on the wand and put it on Catherine's stomach. She moved the wand over Catherine's stomach until she found the baby.
"There is the little baby," the doctor spoke as she pointed at the screen.
"It's so small," Steve stated.
"Yes it is. By the looks of it I'd say you're about 6 weeks pregnant but I'll know more after I get the test results back."
"That's fine."
The doctor cleaned Catherine's stomach and Catherine got dressed again.
"I will have the results in 2 weeks so we'll see each other then."
"Thank you doctor."
They made an appointment on the way out. Steve and Catherine walked into the house just a little after 5pm.
"You're just in time," Lauren spoke. "Kailani is trying to crawl." Lauren was filming her.
They watched as their daughter was on her stomach and tried to use her hands to crawl forward. She pulled herself up to her hands and knees. After bouncing back and forth for a while she started crawling. Steve sat down on his knees on the floor in front of her.
"Come on sweetie, come to daddy," Steve spoke.
Kailani babbled as she moved forward. She reached Steve's knees and pulled herself up.
"There's a good girl," Steve told her as he picked her up and gave her kisses.
"Well done Kailani, that's my little girl," Catherine told her and gave her kisses as well. "I can't believe she's crawling."
"You're in for some fun times," Lauren told them. "She's mobile now so she's gonna explore everything. You better get baby fences and put away fragile objects."
"Yeah, we have those already," Steve told her.
"What about Kye? Has he been crawling yet?"
"Just trying a little. Here I filmed it."
Lauren showed Steve and Catherine the video. They saw Kye on his hands and knees bouncing back and forth but he wasn't moving yet. After a while he fell back down on the ground and started crying. Catherine went to pick up Kye.
"Don't worry sweetie, you'll be able to do it soon enough."
"Thanks for filming it Lauren," Steve told her.
"You're welcome. I'll see you tomorrow."
"See ya."
"You're such a good girl. Daddy saw you crawling," Steve spoke to Kailani as he held her above his head. "You're a big girl."
Steve held her on his lap and Kailani put her hands on Steve's face. Steve put her fingers in between his lips and gave them kisses. Kailani loved playing with her daddy. Catherine handed Kye to Steve as well and went into the kitchen to make dinner.
Steve put the TV on and watched a bit of TV with the kids. Steve loved being a daddy to the twins. The twins and Catherine were the best things that had ever happened to him. And now they were going to have a new baby. Steve was looking forward to the new baby even though it would be hard work with the twins and the new baby, but they would be able to handle it together.
When Catherine called that dinner was ready Steve put the kids in their chairs and they had dinner.
…..
2 weeks later they had another appointment. So far Catherine hadn't been really bothered by pregnancy symptoms. It was after work so Steve went with her. They waited to be led into the doctor's office.
"I have your test results here," the doctor spoke once Steve and Catherine sat down. "My first assumption was a week off. You were 7 weeks pregnant at that time so your 9 weeks pregnant now. Which put's your due date on…" the doctor looked at the computer just to be sure. "July 7th."
"Alright," Catherine replied. "And everything is good far?"
"Yes so far all your test results are perfectly fine. If you'll follow me we'll go check on the little baby."
Steve and Catherine followed the doctor to the exam room. Catherine lay down on the bed and pulled her shirt up. After putting some gel on the wand and firing up the machine the doctor put the wand on Catherine's stomach. A moment later they saw their little baby on the screen.
"It's growing nice. I can see it's already grown from 2 weeks ago. So everything looks fine here. I'll give you a picture and I'll see you back here in 3 weeks."
"Alright, thank you doctor."
She gave them the picture and they made a new appointment on the way out.
"I still can't believe we're having another baby," Catherine spoke as she looked at the ultrasound picture.
"I know me neither. But I love it and I love you."
"I love you too."
They gave each other a kiss before they got in their car and drove home.
"Hey Lauren," Steve greeted as they walked into the house.
"Hey guys."
Kailani came crawling towards Steve as she heard her daddy's voice.
"Hey little girl," Steve spoke as she picked her up.
"How were they today?" Catherine asked.
"Fine, just gotta keep an eye on Kailani now that's she's crawling."
"Oh yes, she loves to crawl around the house. That's why we put baby fences in front of every room in the house so she can't leave the living room."
Lauren looked at Catherine. "There's something different about you," she told Catherine. "I can't quite put my finger on it but something's different about you."
Catherine looked at Steve and he nodded.
"Well that's because I'm pregnant again."
"You're pregnant?!" Lauren squealed. "Oh my god, I'm so happy for you." She gave Catherine a big hug.
"Thank you."
"Congratulations to you too Steve."
"Thank you. We're very happy about it."
"I know it's soon after the twins, we hadn't planned on it but we're very happy," Catherine added.
"Yeah I can see it, you're glowing. Do you have an ultrasound picture already?"
"Yes, we just got one." Catherine showed her the ultrasound picture.
"Aw this is so cute. How far along are you?"
"9 weeks. If all goes well the baby should be here around July 7th."
"Another summer baby."
"Yes, it's close to the twins' birthday. Their birthday is 3 weeks earlier."
"If you need help with anything during the pregnancy, even if I'm not here watching the kids you can always call me."
"Thank you, I appreciate that."
"I'm so happy for you." Lauren gave her one more hug before she left.
"I'm gonna call your sister," Catherine spoke.
"I'll go get started on dinner."
Steve put Kailani back down on the ground and disappeared into the kitchen. Catherine grabbed her phone and called Mary.
"Hey Catherine," Mary greeted as she answered the phone.
"Hey Mary, how are you and Joan?"
"We're fine. She's watching some TV now. How are you guys?"
"We're fine. I actually called cus I have some news for you."
"What is?" Mary asked curious.
"Steve and I are having another baby."
"You're pregnant?!" Mary squealed.
"Yes I am. I know it's soon after the twins, we hadn't planned it but we're very happy."
"Of course you are. Congrats. I'm gonna be an aunt again! How far along are you?"
"9 weeks. The baby is due on July 7th."
"That's close to the twins' birthday."
"Yeah I know."
"I'm very happy for you and Steve. I'll stop by with Joan this weekend."
"Great, looking forward to it. See ya."
"See ya."
"How did she react?" Steve asked.
"She was very happy for us. She's gonna stop by this weekend with Joan."
"That's nice."
…..
That weekend Mary stopped by with Joan. Steve opened the door for them.
"Hey there's my little niece." Steve took Joan from Mary's hands.
"Uncle Steve," Joan spoke.
"Hey Joan. Shall we go see Kye and Kailani?"
Steve took her over to the playpen where Kye and Kailani were. Catherine and Mary watched as Steve played with the kids.
"He's so good with kids," Mary spoke.
"Yeah he is. He's an amazing daddy and uncle."
"Yes he is. I'm so happy for you and Steve."
"Thanks, we're happy too."
They took the kids outside. It was a beautiful December day. Steve stayed outside with the kids while Mary and Catherine went to prepare dinner. They watched through the kitchen window as Steve played with Joan, Kye and Kailani. Joan was really sweet for Kye and Kailani. Catherine took her camera and went outside. She filmed it and shot some pictures. It was so cute to see. Kye and Kailani were sitting on the grass and clapped their little hands.
Just before 6 Steve fired up the grill. Catherine and Mary brought the food outside as Steve cooked the steaks.
"Steve, make mine well done. I can't have them rare right now."
"I know Cath."
Catherine and Mary made a little plate for the kids. Kailani thought it would be nicer to throw the food than to eat it.
"Kailani," Catherine raised her voice. "Stop doing that. Food is not for throwing." Catherine took away her plate causing Kailani to cry. "No, you can't have your plate if you're gonna throw food."
After a while Kailani calmed down and Catherine gave the plate back to her. This time Kailani ate the food.
"There's a good girl. That's how we eat."
They had a nice dinner. The food was really nice. After dinner Catherine went to get some wash cloths to clean the kids off with.
It was already 8pm so Mary took Joan home.
"Thanks guys. I'll see you around."
"Yes see ya, thanks for coming Mary," Steve told her.
Joan left and Catherine took the babies upstairs. She changed them into their pajamas and put them in bed. The babies fell asleep before Catherine was out of the room.
Steve met her at the top of the stairs.
"How about you and I go take a nice warm bath?" Steve suggested.
"I'd like that."
Steve filled the tub and put some soap in it. When he turned around Catherine was already undressing herself. Steve walked up to her and kissed her neck as he helped Catherine undress. Catherine fumbled with his belt before pushing his pants down. Steve's lips never left her neck. Catherine was getting more turned on by the minute. Her pregnancy hormones were kicking in. She brought Steve's lips up to hers and kissed him deeply. Catherine quickly took off his shirt as Steve worked on her bra. Her panties and his boxers quickly followed. Catherine moaned against his lips as she felt how turned on Steve already was. She backed them up to the dresser and sat on top of it. She wrapped her legs around Steve's waist and brought him closer. Steve got her message and he pushed inside of her. His lips moved back down to Catherine's neck again as he moved in and out of her. Catherine felt on edge already. It only took her a few more thrust to reach her peak.
"That was quick," Steve told her.
"It's the pregnancy hormones."
"Ah yes I remember those," Steve smirked at her.
"Let's finish this in the bath."
Steve took her to the bathtub and got in without pulling out of her. He sat down in the tub with Catherine on his lap. The bath was already full so Catherine turned off the water. She moved her arms around Steve's neck as she started moving back and forth. The water made her movements even better.
Steve loved this side of Catherine. He remembered all too well how she got sometimes when she was pregnant with the twins and he never minded to help her with these feelings. Steve grabbed her hips and helped her move up and down.
By the time Steve felt close Catherine had come twice more. Steve helped her move faster and faster. He came with a loud grunt as Catherine came with a loud moan. Exhausted she fell against Steve's chest.
"Wow that was really good," Catherine breathed out.
"Yes it was. God I love this side of you."
Once Catherine had regained her breath she got off of Steve's lap and sat against him with her back. Steve moved his arms around her and rested his hands on her stomach.
"There's another baby in here," Steve told her.
"Yeah I know. Just think that in about 7 months we'll have a new born again."
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it."
"Me too."
They stayed in the tub until the water ran cold. Catherine went out first. Their movements had caused some water and soap to splash out of the bathtub so the floor was wet. Catherine put her feet on the floor but she slipped.
