It was a few days later and the family was having Lee's parents and grandparents over. The latter was a surprise because despite being married for almost nine years she still loathed Adelaine. Case and point why Ariana has never met her great grandparents.
"Mummy, why haven't I met great grandma and great grandpa," Ariana asked Adelaine.
She sighed and said. "Your great grandma has never liked me."
"Why not you're my mummy," Ariana said.
"I wish it was that simple, sweetie but it's not," Lee sighed, walking in the kitchen.
Ariana sighed. Adelaine turned around.
"Wide load, coming through," Lee teased his wife
Adelaine glared half-heartedly at her husband and said. "You're the reason I have this wide load."
"And it's the most adorable wide load I've ever seen," Lee smiled, resting his hand on her stomach.
"I suppose that means you're not sleeping on the couch tonight," was Adelaine's witty reply.
Before Lee could respond his parents walked in with his grandparents in tow.
"Gran!" Ariana yelled, jumping off her chair and running towards her gran.
"Hi sweetie," Rita greeted her granddaughter picking her up.
"So, this is our great granddaughter?" Nicholas asked looking at the little girl in his daughter's arms.
"I'm Ariana Charity," Ariana greeted smiling at her great grandfather.
Nicholas smiled and said. "So, I see she's Lee in miniature."
"Except she has Adelaine's beautiful eyes," Lee said, walking in and greeting his mum, dad and grandpa and grandma.
After the greetings Lee escorted his family to the living room.
"Would you give us a tour of your house?" Nicholas asked.
"Sure, grandpa," Lee smiled.
"Can I come too?" Ariana asked.
"Sure, sweetie," Lee said, picking her up.
He started to give his grandparents a tour.
"This is my room, play with with me," Ariana demanded to her great grandpa.
He smiled and said. "Sure, sweetie."
Ariana dragged Nicholas towards her toys. Nicholas was already wrapped around his great- granddaughter's little finger. They finished the tour and sat down on the couch. Soon, it was time for dinner.
"So, how far along are you?" Nicholas asked Adelaine.
"Almost five months," Adelaine smiled resting her hand on her stomach.
"Do we have another great granddaughter or a great grandson?" Nicholas asked.
"A great grandson," Lee said also resting his hand on his wife's stomach.
"What's his name?"
Adelaine grinned and said. "Cedric Nicholas."
"The name Cedric is so old, why not something more modern," Lee's grandma said, disapprovingly.
Adelaine glared at the older woman. You shouldn't mess with a pregnant lady.
"I don't get why you treat my mummy this way," Ariana said bluntly.
"Don't give me lip, young lady," Milly scolded her great granddaughter.
"You may be her great grandmother but you have no authority to scold my daughter, only me, Adelaine, my mum or dad have the authority," Lee glared at his grandma.
She glared at her grandson and then at her daughter said. "Control your son."
"I'm a grown man, although I will always be a mama's boy. You've never liked Adelaine not even when she was my fiancée, why do you think you never met Ariana until now. I may be a prankster, an idiot sometimes but Adelaine loves me anyway and that should be good enough you," Lee said, getting up from the table and leaving.
"I think we're done here," Adelaine said, also getting up from the table.
After that awkward scene Rita and Curt said goodbye and left.
"It seems like Ari, got your filter which is nothing," Adelaine joked trying to lighten the mood.
"But you love it," Lee smirked.
Adelaine grinned at him, he walked closer to her and kissed her deeply. She stumbled back on the bed. Lee rolled on top of her now kissing down her neck.
"I have to go put Ari to bed," she said pulling away from her husband and getting up.
Lee sighed reluctantly.
"But I'll be back," she said seductively.
Lee nodded. Adelaine went to go put their daughter to bed and came back to see her husband in nothing but his boxers.
"Is she asleep?" Lee asked.
Adelaine just nodded. Merlin, she wanted her husband so bad right now.
"Good, I don't want her to hear you screaming my name in pleasure over and over," he smirked knowingly crawling over to her.
And with that the couple began some foreplay but that's as far as they got since their daughter interrupted.
"I thought you said she was asleep, love," Lee said, reluctantly rolling off his wife.
"She was, there must be something wrong," Adelaine said worriedly, getting up and answering their bedroom door.
"Mummy I don't feel good," Ariana whined.
"What's wrong sweetie."
"My tummy hurts and I feel sick."
Adelaine leaned down to check her temperature. She was burning up.
"Mummy, I don't feel well," she said, holding her stomach.
Adelaine rushed her daughter to the loo and it was just in time she emptied the contents of her stomach. Ariana started to cry.
"I know this doesn't feel good, sweetie," Adelaine said stroking her daughter's dark brown hair.
There was a knock on the door and Lee asked. "Everything okay?"
"Come see for yourself," Adelaine snapped.
Lee walked in to see his daughter practically hugging the toilet while sitting on his wife's lap. He sat down next to his wife and daughter.
"You see what I mean?"
"Yes."
The couple continued helping their daughter get through the night. They fell asleep in the wee hours of the morning their daughter tucked between them.
Lee woke up around nine am to his daughter throwing up again. It's a good thing he's not even a bit squeamish. He held back his daughter's hair since his wife was still fast asleep she needed the sleep for their baby.
"Morning," Adelaine whispered.
"Morning love, she's not doing any better," he said answering her unspoken question about their daughter.
"Okay,"
"I think we should put her in bed, we can't stay in here."
Adelaine nodded in agreement and tried to take their daughter from the toilet but she wouldn't budge.
"What if I get sick again," she whined.
"I'll conjure a bucket, sweetie," Adelaine told her.
Ariana nodded. They reached her bedroom and tucked her in and gave her the stuffed lion that George had given her. Adelaine conjured her a bucket just to have her instantly empty her stomach again. She zapped the vomit away and conjured another bucket.
"I'll take this shift of keeping her company, love," Lee said.
Adelaine nodded and waddled down the stairs. She made some breakfast for herself and her husband. Lee walked down the stairs for breakfast and then went back up stairs to keep their daughter company. They took turns taking care of their daughter. Ariana was exactly like Lee in the sense that she got insanely clingy when they didn't feel well.
