Chapter 4

As the weeks passed, Kinley was blossoming in her pregnancy. Hailey and Randy were closer than ever and Hailey was happier staying home while he was gone as she now looked forwards to when he came home. Krista was busier than ever with planning Kylee's 2nd birthday and Isabella's 4th birthday.

Krista and Randy's parents, Elaine and Bob and their younger brother, Nathan were flying in for the joint birthday parties. Krista made up the two additional guest rooms for her parents and brother the morning that they were due to arrive. Krista wanted to meet them at the airport, but her parents rented a car and had the directions to her's and John's house.

"Isabella, please come downstairs. Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Nate will be here soon." Krista called out.

"Otay, momma. Kylee awake too." Isabella responded.

"Thank you for telling me. There is a snack on the table for you." Krista told her.

Once Krista got Kylee changed and downstairs, she put her in the highchair and gave her a snack as well. Krista looked at the clock and noticed that it was nearly lunch time and pulled out food to start making lunch for everyone. As she was making the sandwiches, the doorbell rang.

"Grama, Grapa!" Isabella shouted.

"Hang on there." Krista stated as she picked up Kylee and headed to the front door with Isabella.

"Hi mom, dad, Nate." Krista stated as she opened the front door.

"Hi honey. Bella, is that you? You have gotten so big." Elaine responded as she walked in.

"Hi darlin'." Bob stated. "And Miss Kylee sure has grown too."

"Hey sis. Where's John?" Nate asked.

"John will be home later this afternoon. He's out with Randy and Ted getting things for the party tomorrow." Krista answered.

Elaine and Bob were busy hugging and cuddling with Isabella and Kylee. Nate looked rather down that John wasn't there and neither were Randy and Hailey. Elaine noticed that her daughter-in-law wasn't there either.

"Where is Hailey?" Elaine asked.

"At home as far as I know." Krista answered as she went back to fixing lunch.

"I thought she would have been here." Bob stated.

"Me too. Maybe something came up and she couldn't make it. Randy didn't say anything this morning when he came to pick up John." Krista responded. "Lunch is ready."

"Honey, you didn't have to go to all this trouble." Elaine stated.

"Mom, it wasn't any trouble at all." Krista responded with a smile.

After lunch was done, Bob cleared the table while Krista got the girls down for a nap. Nate was looking rather bored and while Krista didn't let the girls play video games, she didn't mind if Nate played. Krista headed into the den and pulled out the XBOX and called Nate into the room.

"John and I have this thing and we hardly ever play it anymore. You are more than welcome to play it while you are here. Just promise me that you won't play during the birthday party tomorrow." Krista stated.

"Thanks, sis. I promise." Nate responded.

As Krista was walking back into the kitchen to start preparing food for the party, John, Ted, Randy and Hailey walked through the door. Kinley wasn't far behind them. Kinley was now about 5 ½ months into her pregnancy and had to take her time walking.

While the men were in the backyard setting everything up, the women were in the kitchen preparing food and talking. Elaine couldn't believe that Kinley and Ted were finally pregnant and due in the summer. Soon the conversation turned to Hailey and Randy.

"So Hailey, have you and Randy talked about starting a family?" Elaine asked.

"We have. And when we are ready we will." Hailey answered.

"Honey, what are you waiting for? Planned or not planned you are never ready to have baby. I know from experience. Do you think that Bob and I were ready when we had Randy, Krista and Nate?" Elaine asked.

"I guess not. I don't know. Randy's in the prime of his career and I'm afraid if we have a baby right now, it will ruin his chances at the title." Hailey answered.

"Honey, it won't ruin his chances at the title. So he will take some time off, but trust me, Vince is all about families. When Randy tells him that he needs the time off to be with you when you have a baby, Vince will give him the time off without taking his place for the title." Bob responded as he walked into the kitchen with the guys.

Hailey and Randy exchanged looks and soon the conversation changed again but now to Krista and John. Krista knew what questions her mother was going to ask her and decided to answer them before she asked them.

"And mom, before you even ask. We are not planning on another baby at the moment. We have our hands full with Bella and Kylee." Krista stated.

"How did you know what I was going ask?" Elaine asked as everyone laughed.

"Come on mom. Since the day John and I got engaged you wanted me pregnant and giving grandchildren left and right." Krista answered.

"I can't help it. I always wanted to have a large family and after Nate was born I couldn't have anymore kids, so I knew that it would only be possible through each of you three that my family would grow like I had hoped it would." Elaine responded.

"It's ok mom. John and I just aren't ready to have another baby yet." Krista stated as John wrapped his arms around her.

The conversation was soon dropped as the girls woke up from their naps. Ted and Kinley headed home for the night as Kinley was getting tired and wanted to have energy for the party tomorrow. Bob and Elaine took Randy, Hailey, Krista, John, Nate and the girls out to dinner so Krista and John didn't have to cook.

Later that night after the girls were in bed, Bob and Elaine retired to their room and Nate headed to bed as well. Krista and John finished cleaning up and getting some stuff ready for the party before heading to their room as well. Once Krista and John were both in bed, John started kissing her neck.

"John! What are you trying to do?" Krista asked.

"I am trying to love you." John answered.

"My parents are downstairs." Krista stated.

"So what. We've made love with them in the house before. Hell we've made love in my parents house with my whole family there. This is our house and we have every right to do what we want." John responded.

"Alright, but we need to be quiet. Okay?" Krista stated with a seductive smile.

"Okay." John responded as he started kissing her neck again.

It didn't take long before John and Krista were making love. They tried to remain as quiet as possible. John looked lovingly into Krista's eyes as they both climaxed together. John didn't pull out right away but instead he caressed her soft skin and kissed her softly and romantically.

The next morning, everyone was up and busily getting things ready for the party. Krista was still tired from the night before and with the attention that John was showing Krista that morning, Elaine couldn't help but smile. She had gone upstairs to check on the girls and heard soft moaning coming from their room.

Once everyone was at the house, the party for the girls began. They both got tons of presents. Krista brought out the cake and her and John helped the girls blow out the candles. After the party was over, the guys headed out to play a round of golf for the afternoon. Elaine, Hailey and Krista cleaned up the house while Kinley rested on the couch.

"Honey can I talk to you alone for a minute?" Elaine asked her daughter.

"Sure. We can go into the garage as I need to put the food away." Krista answered as they walked into the garage. "What's up mom?"

"Last night I went upstairs to check on the girls and I could hear noises coming from your room. I just wanted to make sure everything was ok." Elaine responded.

"Everything is fine." Krista stated blushing a little.

"Ok. I wasn't sure." Elaine responded now knowing that it was just Krista and John being husband and wife.

"Mom, John and I are married and while we don't see each other lot, when he is home, we want to be together and we still love each other and yes, we made love last night. But that's what husbands and wives do." Krista stated before they headed into the house.

Elaine left the subject alone for the rest of their visit. Krista ordered pizzas for dinner that night and the guys arrived just before the pizzas did. After dinner, everyone headed home and Elaine put the girls to bed as they were exhausted. Elaine, Bob and Nate were heading back to St. Louis the next day and John, Randy and Ted were heading to Houston for the next show.
