I was asleep upstairs when Wade had driven home from work. He walked inside the house being greeted by Molly. "How was work, dear?" she said as she gave him a sympathetic smile.

"All I could think about was Lea and the baby" said Wade, "What were the results?"

Molly looked saddened as she lowered her head, "She's upstairs and it's been a long day for her."

Wade assumed by Molly's manner toward him it had been not gone the way he had wanted and walked upstairs to see his pregnant girlfriend who was carrying another man's child. He walked into our bedroom, gazing at me as I lay asleep. His eyes were glossy as he sat next to me; he really wanted this baby to be his. He was ready to start his life again with a new love and another child. He knew Adele would have loved a sibling.

His hands touched my stomach as he whispered, "I may not be your Father, but I will love you just as much and I love your mother more than anything in the world."

I awoke feeling his touch; slowly I opened my eyes to see his saddened eyes staring into mine. He quickly brought a smile to his face as he watched me wake up. "Wade, are you alright?"

He nodded, "I'm fine, John must be happy. He's going to be a Dad, I know he's probably going to throw it in my face and he probably wants to move in or move you out." Wade was going on and on, about how John was the father and how things were changing. His eyes were watery, he was obviously very upset by it no matter how hard he tried to convince me otherwise that he was okay, he obviously wasn't.

I smiled as I put my finger to his lips; he was confused as to what I was doing. I grabbed his hands and placed them on my stomach, "It's not John's blood that is running through this baby's veins... it's yours."

It looked as though Wade's jaw had dropped to the ground, "What?"

"The test found that John isn't the father... you are" I said, tears fell from my eyes.

"This baby is mine?" he said still hysterically.

I nodded, "We're going to be parents!"

He hugged me tightly, "I'm so happy."

I laughed watching Molly, Peter and Adele standing in the hallway watching us. Molly was in tears and Peter and Adele looked overjoyed.

He kissed my lips then kissed my stomach, "Hello little one, this is your Dad. It's nice to finally say that I am indeed your Father."

I had never felt more happiness in my life then telling the man I loved that we were going to have a baby together. The thrill on his face as he continued to speak to my stomach was just heart warming; I had never felt more in love with him. Wade turned around to look at the other three members of our family and told them to come inside.

"You tricked me Molly" said Wade as he hugged her.

"I'm sorry dear, but we thought it would be a better surprise" she said.

"Daddy, I'm going to be a big sister" said Adele.

"You are!" said Wade as he picked her up, "You're going to be a great big sister to your baby brother or sister, but remember you're always very special to me."

"I know, Dad" she said.

"To both of us" I said, "You're my best friend, little princess."

Adele grinned, "Lea, remember how you told me that you were my fairy godmother but could you be my Mum as well?"

Her innocent gaze pulled my heart strings harder than any person who ever could. I felt absolutely beyond flattered that she felt this way toward me. I loved Adele like she was my own daughter. Sometimes I wished that she was and hadn't had to deal with Nicole but now I knew she could be. "Of course, sweetheart" I said hugging the little girl.

Wade smiled at Peter and Molly as they all felt touched by Adele's request.

...

I lay in bed, I was feeling really tired because of lack of sleep and everyone was just feeling happy in the house. But no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't get to sleep. I walked downstairs where it looked to be deserted, I could find anyone around. I thought maybe they had all left to go out somewhere, but I looked at the time and it was only 8:00pm. I had thought that maybe Wade had taken Adele out to get a movie or something. I looked around the kitchen in search of Molly and Peter. I made my way around the backyard where I found Molly and Peter sitting on the deck chairs. The two had each other's hand in the other, staring up at the dark sky that was above them. I grinned as I watched them together, they looked adorable.

"It was about time, right" whispered Wade in my ear. His voice still sent shivers down my spine.

I nodded as I turned around to face him; I wrapped my arms around his waist tightly. He towered over me, as he kissed my head. "Is there anything I can get you?"

"No... I'm fine right here with all of you" I said.

"Adele just went to see her Grandad" said Wade grinning.

"Her Grandad?" I looked at him confused.

"We just went to pay your father a visit, Stephanie was there with him."

"Why did you go to see him?" I was even more confused.

"Um... I had to speak with him about something" said Wade, "That's all."

"What?"

"Just something that I needed to know from him."

I raised my eyebrow, awaiting him to tell me what he and my Dad were talking about. But Wade wasn't going to tell me.

"Come on, let's go to bed and leave the love birds" he said.

...

I decided to take myself and little Adele to the ice cream parlour; I had been craving a banana split and was going to go crazy if I didn't have one. I bought Adele a chocolate sundae and the two of us sat outside.

"Lea now that you and my Dad are having a baby, are you two going to get married?" she asked.

"Well, that depends on your Dad if he wants to get married."

"I know my Mum was mean to him, that's why we weren't together but I would love it if you and he got married" she said, "Have a fairytale wedding like Cinderella."

I smiled, "I'd love to get married to your Dad, but we have to wait on him."

"Yeah he's a bit silly, when it comes to stuff like this" she said.

I couldn't help but laugh, "Yeah, he's just like the beast."

My phone screen flashed and I saw that I got a text message; it was from Randy: I can see you.

I looked up and around us, but couldn't see him anywhere. I saw another text that read: Try next to you.

Adele began giggling and there was Randy standing next to her. "Of course she'd be here, eating ice cream" said Randy.

I rolled my eyes.

He pulled a seat out next to Adele, "You know when we were kids, Adele all she would do is come here to stuff her face and then she'd drag me here so I would pay for it."

"I never did that!" I said, "I'm sorry when you're carrying a baby then come and talk to me."

"I used to carry you, does that count?" he said.

"Please go away" I said, "You're being extremely arrogant, I might just not turn up to work on Monday."

"Alright Lea, you know I'm kidding" said Randy, "Anyway, so have you been to the doctor?" He was trying to convey the question if I knew the paternity of my child, without Adele knowing.

"Yes I have... and the results were what I wanted" I said.

"REALLY?" he said.

I nodded happily, "Yes, Wade and I are having a baby."

"I'm going to be a big sister, Randy" said Adele.

"You're going to make a great big sister" said Randy, "Wow, everything is really coming together for you Lea."

"I guess so" I said.

"You've got everything going for you, you're future is pretty much set. I mean it won't be long before Barrett puts a ring on your finger and you two are walking down the aisle" he said irritated.

"You'll have that too Randy, you're an amazing guy. Any woman would be lucky to have you."

"Lea, the woman our age are married, or just trash bag Italian liars."

I widened my eyes, looking at Adele signalling Randy that now was not the time to talk about his ex wife.

Randy nodded, "Well, do you know if you're having a boy or girl yet?"

"Not for another few weeks."

"What do you want it to be Adele? Do you want a sister or a brother?" asked Randy.

Adele blushed; it was almost although she was beginning to have a crush on Randy. That was something I assured her was something she didn't want to do from personal experience. "I don't mind, either."

"I think they should have a boy and name him Randy after me, don't you think so?"

I rolled my eyes, shaking my head.

Adele giggled, "Maybe they could name him Randy."

"Smart girl" said Randy as he winked at her.

"Alright, I think we have to go now" I said.

"Yeah, I have to go to... but it was nice seeing you two ladies, Bye Adele" said Randy.

"Bye Randy" she said waving at him.

"See you at work, Lea" said Randy.

"Bye."

...

We got back to the house and I decided to lie down, just sitting down and eating ice cream had made me feel light headed. I found Wade dressed in a suit; he smelt incredibly good and had a bunch of roses in his hand.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"You mean where we are going?" he said handing me the flowers.

"Ok... where are we going?" I said sitting down on the bed.

"Well, it's sort of a surprise" he said smirking, "But I need you to get dressed, I bought you something."

I looked over to the table where there was a beautiful wrapped box. "You didn't have to buy me anything."

"It's just a special occasion" he said winking at me.
