Here's the next installment.

Thanks to all readers and reviewers.

Now, let's do this...

Katherine awoke the next day- Sunday morning- to the sound of loud... something. She yawned and rubbed her eyes, then, sat up and stretched. She frowned as she tried to figure out just what the noise was. Then, it hit her. Rocky was singing in the shower... purposely off-key. The blonde woman looked down at her swollen belly. "That's one of the many things your daddy likes to do to annoy Mommy," she told the unborn little girl- whom kicked in response. "Glad to see you agree," Katherine said with a laugh.

The former pink ranger tossed the covers aside and slowly brought her feet to the floor. She stretched once again, then, stood, headed out of the bedroom and across the hall to the nursery. She stood in the doorway and smiled at the sight of the adorable room. "I know you're not here yet, baby, but, I just know this room suits you perfectly."

Several moments later, Rocky- who had a towel around his waist- stepped into the hall and grinned at the sight of his wife. "Who let this beautiful blonde in my apartment?"

She looked at him and grinned. "Your wife did on her way out. She had to run a couple of errands. I told her I was an old friend of yours and I wanted to catch up."

"And she bought that?" he quipped as he made his way up to her.

"No hesitation at all. She won't be back for awhile, you know," she said, winking.

"Oh, yeah? What to do, what to do?" he said, pretending to think.

"I'm sure two old friends can think of something," she said, nodding. The couple burst out laughing and hugged. "Morning, sweetie."

"Morning, ballerina," he said, kissing her cheek.

"By the way, the singing... don't hold out for any record deals. Tanya you're not," she teased, her eyes dancing.

"Are you kidding? I can sing circles around Tanya," he said, his eyes dancing as well.

"Wanna tell her that?" she said, amused.

"No, thanks. I enjoy breathing," he said- causing her to laugh. He grinned. "So, what does my queen and little princess want for breakfast?"

"Waffles, scrambled eggs and sausage would be heavenly," she said as they entered their own bedroom.

And a little fruit, too?" he asked as he grabbed his boxers.

"What do you think, Karina?" Katherine asked her belly. Then, she nodded. "It's a yes."

"Great," Rocky said with a laugh.

"Go to hell!" Stacy yelled, glaring at Cord- her ex-boyfriend. It was now two weeks later- Saturday afternoon- and while Katherine was currently enjoying her baby shower with her friends at Adam and Tanya's, Stacy was standing in her apartment- hating life in general and biting her ex's head off.

Cord grabbed her arm and she spat in his face. "Bitch," he snapped, wiping his cheek. She jerked away and slapped him.

"I want you to get the hell outta here, you sack of crap. I'm busy," Stacy said harshly. They'd had a, well, complex, love-hate relationship for the last two years. She wanted him out of her sight right now before she tasted his blood.

"I don't care! We need to talk," he said, grabbing her hand and yanking her towards the tattered couch. He sat her down, then, sat himself. "Where is it, Stace?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" she asked in annoyance as she snatched her half-empty pack of cigarettes up off of the cluttered coffee table.

"Don't screw with me, you damned thief. I know you took my watch. You pawned it, didn't you?" he said angrily.

She laughed. "You don't have anything worth stealing, Cord."

"Stacy, knock it the hell off," he said, snatching the cigarettes and tossing them across the room. "You're a professional thief- not to mention scam artist."

"Like you have room to talk," she said, snorting.

"Just shut up," he snapped.

She smirked. "You never did like hearing the truth. That's one of your hugest flaws. Now, out. I'm working on something and I need to be alone."

"What? You thinking about who you're gonna screw over next?" he sneered.

"Exactly," she said, looking into his eyes.

"Hey, it's you two again. Small world, huh?"

Rocky and Katherine- whom'd just come back from having dinner at Katherine's parents' and were now standing in front of their apartment- looked over their shoulders to see Stacy across the hall and two doors down. Huh? The married couple looked at each other, then, at Cait's sister again.

"So, ya live here," Stacy said, nodding.

"Stacy," Katherine said.

"What are you doing here?" Rocky asked.

"What are you- a detective?" Stacy said with a lighthearted laugh as she walked over to them. "Just kidding with you. An old friend of mine lives in this building. Actually, I'm glad to see you guys again."

"You are?" the couple said in unison.

"I know I was, well, a bitch the last time we saw each other and I'm sorry about that. I've never been the easiest pill to swallow- ask anybody. I'm also sorry about the crap Cait pulled. I mean, you don't just screw with people's lives like that. It's just not cool, you know," Stacy said seriously.

Rocky and Katherine just stared at her- unsure of what to say.

Stacy took a deep breath. "I was all crabby 'cause I'd just lost my job and all that. That's why I'm glad I saw you guys. I need to ask you something."

"What is it?" Katherine asked.

"Firstly, what are you guys having- boy or girl?" Stacy asked.

"Girl," Rocky replied.

"Huh. That's great. Hard as it is to believe, I've always loved kids. And they actually take to me pretty well," Stacy said.

"That's... nice. But why are you telling us this?" Katherine asked.

"Are you gonna be a housewife? A stay-at-home mom?" Stacy asked.

"Well, I do plan to work, but, what-" Katherine asked.

"Then, you two need a nanny... and I'd be a great choice," Stacy said, grinning.
