"Phoebe I don't want you saying anything about the baby until we get home, OK?" Nick said as they were just about to pick up Maisie and Ollie on their way home from the hospital.

"OK" Phoebe reluctantly agreed. She was still sat sulking in the back of the car however and had been rather quiet all the journey home. They knew it was just a temporary thing however, as soon as they baby arrived they were sure she would soon change her mind.

They went to Maisie's school first as it was the furthest away from home and they then proceeded onto Oliver's school.

"What's up with you?" Maisie asked as soon as she got into the car, turning to her sister who had not spoken to them like she usually would do.

"She's fine aren't you sweetie" Zoe quickly added, not wanting her to spoil the surprise early.

As soon as they arrived home Nick ordered them all into the front room almost immediately, "We've got a surprise for you" He began, as they all took a seat on the sofas.

"Are we going on holiday again?" Ollie asked, getting his hopes up.

Nick chuckled, "Not that kind of surprise" He said.

Zoe turned and smiled at Nick before looking back at Ollie and Maisie, "You're going to have a baby brother" She announced.

Ollie's mouth instantly dropped open, he had always dreamt of having a little brother to play with and somebody to teach football, "No way" He gasped in excitement.

"Aww, I knew it was going to be a boy" Maisie smiled, she could see that her mum and dad were both ecstatic about the news, so this was enough for her. She didn't mind whether it was a boy or a girl anyway as she already had both a brother and a sister, "Is this why you're sulking Pheeb?" She laughed, as she noticed her sister lying back on the sofa taking no notice in the conversation.

Zoe laughed, nodding at Maisie's question "Yeah, you were hoping for a sister weren't you" She said, running her hand down Phoebe's hair.

"You've got me" Maisie said, nudging Phoebe to try and cheer her up about it.

"But i wanted another one" She moaned to her sister.

Maisie continued to chuckle "a brother will be just as good though" She tried to convince her that it wasn't such a bad thing after all, "you can still dress him up and do his hair" She laughed.

"I don't think so" Nick laughed, shooting Maisie a strange look.

"Well I'm happy about it" Maisie said, reassuring them.

Zoe smiled at how mature Maisie was being about the whole situation unlike her younger sister.

After they had all digested the news, they soon had their tea and when the kids were then all in bed, Nick and Zoe were glad to finally sit down and relax after the long and busy day which they had had.

"We need to sort out where he is going to sleep you know" Zoe said, looking up at Nick as she had her head resting on his chest.

"We could put the girls together?" Nick suggested. There were actually 5 bedrooms in the house, but the smallest room wouldn't be big enough for long.

"Oh because that is going to go down so well" Zoe chuckled, remembering how well they had reacted to sharing a room with each other on holiday.

"Well now Maisie's getting older we can change the guest room into hers and the baby can have her old room?" Nick suggested.

"Yeah, we will see what she says" Zoe agreed that this would be the best option, "we really need to get the nursery sorted though" She said. Her pregnancy had gone so fast already considering she was now half way and she knew that there wouldn't be much time left getting until the baby finally arrived.

Nick nodded in agreement "We will get it done soon" He promised her.

"you're really glad it's a boy aren't you" Zoe said, picking up on the extremely good mood that Nick was in. She knew deep down he was hoping for another son.

"well another boy to take over the Jordan name" Nick joked, winking at her as she looked up at him. He knew that this would wind her up.

Zoe chuckled "that's all you think about isn't it" She teased.

"I would of equally loved a girl though"

"I know" Zoe smiled as Nick rested his hand across her bump.

"maybe next time" He joked, nudging Zoe to test her reaction.

"don't you start as well, we could open our own school if we had anymore" Zoe joked, rolling her eyes at his suggestion.

Nick chuckled "you ready for bed?" He asked as he noticed her starting to yawn.

Zoe nodded "Yeah i'm shattered" She replied. They got up off the sofa and headed straight to bed, exhausted from their long day.
