So remember when Jade was pregnant and didn't want to tell Sean ? Yeah well, that's old news now. It's been 3 years and they have the cutest, curly-haired little girl ever named Zoe. Maeve and Owen were the next to have a baby and they are now proud parents of fraternal twins, 2 girls that are both a beautiful blend of their parents. The twins are only 6 months though but little Zoe is smitten with them and she's only 3.

I know what you're thinking, 3 years already ? That would now make me 19, and Jace 21. To my mother's chagrin Jace and I got married last year. Jace proposed randomly and he didn't think I'd take him seriously but I did. Sure it seems a little fast but I can't deny that he's the one I want forever and always. 

Sad to say, my mom got really mad at me and kicked me out. If I was grown enough to get married then I was also grown enough to get the hell out her house. That did hurt a lot and I thought she was playing but when I went back the next day, my stuff was packed up and waiting for me. There was a note that said she wanted no part in my life and that I could call her when things failed with Jace. I took it hard especially since my sister got married a few weeks after I did and my mom was all happy and gloating. I don't know what I did wrong but she always was more hard on me so I'm hoping it's tough love and she'll come around.

Here I am now, living in the house I thought I'd only be in for vacation. Jace's friends and family have been nice enough to welcome me with open arms. Jack nearly fired my mother when he found out what happened but I begged him to let her keep her position. As it turns out she quit a week later and got a job starting up a new company which in fact is my brother in law's. My mom and sister don't speak to me much but luckily Xavier, Reiya's husband, does. He's constantly telling me that they'll get over whatever it is that's going on and that I'm not wrong for being happy. He's become more family than my blood relatives and it's sickening.

"Ohh baby girl." I hear a sexy voice sing out as my door opens.

"Hello husband." I say cheerfully and Jace smiles then jumps into bed, closing our bedroom door behind him.

"How was work ?" I ask him. He sighs loudly.

"Soooo boring. Dad has me doing all this typing and emailing and blah blah business this and business that." Jace says clearly annoyed.

"Um hun, aren't you set to be taking over as CEO in 2 days?" I ask and he groans.

"Don't remind me. I really don't want to. I'm fine working under Dad but he just wants me to follow his steps, carry on in the Norman trade." Jace says dejectedly. I rub his shoulders.

"I know, I've got good news." I say and he instantly perks up.

"I found an open commercial kitchen and the owners are willing to rent it out. I also did some digging and found a studio that is pretty old but being sold for $450. The owner wants nothing to do with it and is willing to give up it and all the equipment there including some really nice cameras." I say and Jace smiles.

"Yes! Thank you baby. I'm so sorry, you can't be working right now." Jace says and I instantly feel bad. He thinks I'm not working because of an injury but he has no idea that I very well can't work at FedEx Ground and be pregnant. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. I'm 4 weeks pregnant. I plan to tell him once we get a studio so I can decorate and set up a surprise photo shoot.

"I'm going to shower, do you mind setting up a movie ? I really just want a movie night." Jace says as he drags himself up and goes to our closet. He pulls out a pair of sweats and goes to the bathroom. He closes the door and I get to work.

No one else knows I'm pregnant except for my doctor who I have to go pick up a prescription from tomorrow since he told me that the baby would be taking up the little amount of iron I have in my body and I really need that. He's also sneaking in some prenatal vitamins since I can't afford them on my own. My mother basically cut me off everything so the bank accounts I had access to no longer existed. I had to open my own under Bank of America and start all over with my savings where I had at least $2000 stored. Thankfully, Jack had Jace learn how to code and hack and all that so as soon as I opened my own account, Jace hacked into the one my mom had for me and wiped her clean. He even took extra and used the extra money to buy us a trip to a cabin somewhere quiet which is how I got pregnant. Take that Mother.

Before I realize it Jace is out the shower and in bed next to me. He grabs his phone and unlocks it. I see that he has a ton of emails probably company mail.

"Will you be up for accompanying me to a  luncheon?  My dad wants me to go on my first partnership scouting lunch or whatever and said it'd be best to have a gorgeous lady by my side. I figured why not come with a bang and take the most gorgeous girl ever." He says and I can't hide my smile. He pecks my cheek.

"I love you so much." I say.

"I love you too." He says back.

"Do you think I'll be a mother like mine?" I say without thinking. Jace looks at me confused and instantly puts down his phone.

"Baby we've been over this, you won't be like that. And we agreed you wouldn't think about this and if you did that it'd at least be when we're expecting." Jace says and I just nod my head. I know if I speak I'll betray myself.

"You're right, you're right. Sorry." I say and he flashes me a grin.

"By the way, your doctor called me saying your prescription was put in early. Are you sure your injury isn't serious ?" Jace asks worry flooding his tone and eyes. Ah dammit.

"Okay the truth ? I'm not injured and I had to kindly quit my job," Jace scrunches up his face but allows me to continue," when I got cleared after I got hit with the package the doctor called me back 2 weeks later. He told me I was pregnant and that he took me out of work." I spit out quickly and Jace's face changes to one of shock.

"You- no we're having baby ?" He asks slowly and I nod. He tackles me in a hug and kisses all over my face. He sprints out the door and into the hallway.

"YO CRACKHEADS I'M GONNA BE A DADDY ! PAPA JACE IS GONNA BE A REALITY ! RIELE IS HAVING MY BABY !" Jace screams throughout the house and I nearly pale in embarassment. He comes back in the room with everyone in the house behind him. He's got the biggest smile on his face and his eyes hold so much excitement.

"Congrats!" Everyone cheers at the same time well except Jade who looks perplexed. She's holding her tongue but for why.

"Wait so you're 3 weeks pregnant now !  No, 4! Do you need to go to the doctor soon ? I'll come with you. I want to see our baby, our beautiful baby." Jace says as he starts talking to my stomach.

"Jace," I start but then I decide against saying something when I see how elated he is. I just smile and pet his head as he lays on the bed, talking to my flat stomach. The twins start crying and Maeve and Owen leave immediately probably knowing exactly what's wrong.

"So Uncle Jack is going to be a thing again?" Jack asks excitedly and I nod. Kira smiles.

"I guess now is as good a time as ever to announce. We're going to be welcoming a baby too. She's due any day now and we're praying Eliza isn't too sick to miss at least seeing her child." Kira says and I feel so happy for her. Jack and Kira found out that Kira couldn't reproduce and it was heartbreaking but they've tried other methods. They will be adopting from a mother who is on her deathbed. The mother's one wish was for her child to go to good parents that will never part. I don't know all the specifics but when Eliza met Kira and Jack she knew that her baby girl would be going to them. They see Eliza nearly every weekend when they're both off from work and they recently told her that the baby would share her name, that is Eliza Marley just with the last name Griffo. They haven't tied the knot yet but they're working on it.

"That's so good. Aw I hope we have a baby girl too." I say and Jace rolls his eyes.

"Hate to burst your bubble babe but, this right here is a boy." He says so sure of himself that I want to smack him.

"Jace go back to talking to the fetus." I say and he shrugs.

"Hello son." I hear him start before drowning him out.

"I can't wait to meet little Emmy, you bring her home as soon as possible." I say and Jack salutes while Kira gives me a thumbs up. Jade walks inside and Sean closes the door behind them.

"Uh oh." I say.

"How do I put this ?" Jade says. Sean sighs which lets me know this isn't good.

"Riele I think you should give up the baby. Maybe give it to your mom. It's a lot of stress and you're younger than me. You'll be sacrificing a lot and I don't want you to miss out." Jade says. I know she means well but that's not going to happen.

"I think you should keep your baby because although unplanned, a kid is the best thing to happen to you. There's more than one way to live and I say go for it." Sean encourages and Jade glares at him. He shrugs and walks out the room with their baby leaving Jade in here with Jace and I.

"Riele, don't keep that baby. I'm not saying kill it, I'm just saying you don't want it." Jade ushers and before I open my mouth Jace does.

"Hey, when you had Zoe your life was not ruined, why are you feeding this shit to Riele?" He demands. Jade scowls.

"Because I missed out on school, parties and life cause of that damn kid. I still haven't fully adjusted and Sean wants another one. Like hell, I'll have another kid. That little girl took away 3 years of my life that I can't get back. I hate her." Jade spews out and I look at her in shock.

"How could you hate your own child? You're disgusting. Get out." I say and she huffs then stomps out.

"What's gotten into her? She loves Zoe." I say and Jace shakes his head.

"Not really, she does what a mother is supposed to but that connection isn't there. She'll come around hopefully." Jace comments.

"I hope she does, maybe that's why Zoe always gives her a harder time." I ponder aloud.

"That is exactly why, kids may not know everything but Zoe understands that her mother doesn't love her the way she loves her mother. It's sad that she can process that at such a young age and it'll probably mess her up for life if Jade doesn't get her shit together." Jace says.

"I agree, I mean look at me. I still question whether I mean anything to my mom." I say and Jace winces.

"You mean the world to me baby girl if that counts." He says.

"It means everything, thanks babe." I say speaking the truth.

"Hey, did Thomas come by ? He was supposed to bring over his kids, I still can't believe Lizzy was so willing to pop out 2 back to back like that." Jace says.

"I know, it's crazy however little Tommo and Liz are great. He did but it was about an hour ago. You want to go see them ? They should still be up. Well Tommo should, that hyperactive 2 year old terror." I grimace and Jace laughs.

"Do you ever think we're all too young to have kids?" I ask Jace.

"Sometimes yeah, I mean we're in our 20s. We should be exploring and all that but I know I've always wanted to settle down early so this is like a dream come true for me." Jace gushes and I smile. He's so cute when he tells me little things like that.

"Okay, then I'm happy. I just, we're doing things backwards but I don't think I'd regret it especially since we're married now and rules don't apply to us as much as it applies to the others." I smirk and Jace nods in agreement.

"You got that right, we automatically win." Jace says and just stares at me. I know what he's doing, he's making sure I'm okay. He makes it his business to make sure I'm not hiding any bruises or displaying any negative body language. He's so good to me.

"Daddy Jace?" He says and I burst out with laughter.

"Daddy Jace it is." I say and we both laugh together.
