I began looking at my stomach in the mirror with a clean pair of panties and bra on from my previous shower that Paul had now taken part of.

I began to look at the little pudge that had formed in my lower abdomen and smiled. Yes, I hadn't been pregnant in years and yes, there weren't many great memories of me being pregnant with Sarai other than having her, herself.

But this was something I always thought was beautiful. Although, having a baby was a different breed of pain, knowing a little almost unknown human growing inside of you was astonishing.

The shower soon cut its water flow, causing Paul to walk from the glass shower with a towel wrapped around his waist; leaving his v-line and lower abdomen exposed as little droplets of water scrolled down his fit body.

"You're excited." He stated with a smile gently pressing up behind my body with his arms snaking around my waist causing me to smile and turn to face him

"I'm guessing this is my little boy?" He said very carefully and softly pinching my stomach causing me to laugh

"Don't be too sure about that, you may get another spoiled little princess." I rebutted wrapping my hands around his neck, ignoring the fact that his damp skin was causing my body to collect a faint dew of water from him

"That's fine too, but I think it's time I get a little buddy running around." He said beginning to softly kiss my shoulder blades

"What do you think he or she would look like?" I asked biting my lip while beginning to trace his abs gently

"I think, no I pray they have this beautiful glowing skin you have..." He said lowly beginning to kiss my neck, slowly yet surely moving his lips to mine as he smiled and said, "And the rest we'll figure out...but their mother is fine as hell, so I believe we'll have some beautiful babies."

I then tugged his towel gently causing it to fall to the floor and him to laugh before I gently placed my hands on his lower back as he began softly biting my neck causing little moans to part from my lips as I began to kiss his neck as well.

"Dad! Mom!" Meadow called while knocking on the door causing me and him to break away causing me to reply, "Yes, sweetie?"

"I love you two, but can we hurry this up. I don't wanna eat with that lady, I wanna eat before!" She said causing us to laugh

"Alright, baby bear. We are getting dressed right now!" Paul replied

"Mmhmm." She voiced loudly causing me to laugh and shake my head as Paul looked me in my eyes and said "You think we can do it in like ten minutes?"

"No, because then we have to shower again. Let's get dressed, we have all night." I replied with another laugh as I lifted myself from the counter

"But, I-i-" He began to contest before I gave him the look causing him to pout and walk into our closet with his head held low.

I then sighed playfully and walked in behind him and lifted my body on my tip-toes and bit his neck gently and said softly, "I'll be on my knees for you tonight so don't pout at me."

He did nothing but smile as I kissed his back gently before stepping back into the bathroom to straighten my hair and do a nude makeup look before walking into our closet and carefully slipping on a maxi dress that stopped just above my knees.

"Hurry up, supermodel!" Paul said as he watched me, looking me up and down as I slipped on my vans

"Ugh, I love you. I've got you turning into a hipster just like me babe." He gushed as I walked to the closet island pulling the top jewelry drawer open, grabbing the necklace and earrings he brought me on our first date

"Whatever," I said with a laugh as he gently took the necklace from my hands, taking the initiative to put the necklace on for me causing me to smile at his ways once again

"Thank you, hipster," I said with a laugh as I put on my earrings, turning to face him as he stared at me as if I was the only girl in the world

"Can I see your left hand?" He asked while biting his lip causing me to laugh and ask, "Why?" while showing him

"I just wanted to thank God I put that ring on your finger! I mean you're married to me, me and only me!" He said beginning to smile foolishly causing me to laugh pinching his cheeks

"Baby, anyone ever tell you, you're a big kid?" I asked while laughing

"Mmhm!" He beamed causing me to laugh harder

"I can't stand you." I joked grabbing his hand and then my purse, knowing if I didn't make him leave this room he'd never

(:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[♡]:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅)

"So It's getting pretty close to Christmas again!!!" Meadow began to state excitedly as me, Paul and Sarai sat beside and around her at this restaurant just outside of Los Angeles

"Oh, here we go." Paul voiced while shaking his head with a smile causing me to laugh

"So, I think it's time me and Sarai start negotiating our Christmas lists!" She beamed with a smile as she and Sarai began trying to use their puppy eyes on us

"You three come out and do community service to help get others in need supplies, gifts and food then I will get you all whatever you want," Paul said finalizing his offer while taking a sip of his orange juice

"Yes! I love those things anyways!" Meadow cheered dancing in her seat as Sarai just watched and did the same causing me and Paul to laugh

"But I am not buying you a car Meadow."

"But Dad!" She whined causing me to look at her and mouth silently, "I'll talk to him." causing her spirits to heighten again

Paul then looked at me causing me to look away with a smile on my face before he groaned and said "Alright! We will look into it. What car?"

"Well, Grams was talking about how dope the cars were in her day..." Meadow said trying to break it to him slowly

"Okay, so, so far you're talking old school. So that means we are looking at roughly 150,000$" Paul said cutting her off

"She got me hooked on this one car right!" She said happily causing me to smile

"Spit it out." He said beginning to laugh

"It's a 67' Corvette." She said with hope fuming through her veins

"What model?"

"Stingray." She said with a smile

"Okay, so you're telling me you want a damn near 200,000$ Christmas gift?" He asked while squinting his eyes at her playfully

"When you put it like that it sounds kinda..."

"Crazy?" He replied cutting her speech off

"I will heavily be thinking about this crazy girl...what about you Sarai? What would you want?" Paul asked

"A new Dreamhouse for my Barbies!" She squealed causing me to pinch her cheek gently

"See I miss when her Christmas' were like this, so simple and decided and when you weren't trying to get something worth half a million dollars." Paul then said causing Meadow to smile a flashy smile

"I think It's a great idea, baby. Meadow is responsible and her grades are amazing plus she's always helping out." I said causing Paul to gently grab my chin to plant a small kiss on my lips

"Agreed." He replied causing Meadow to squeal happily and get out of her chair, wrap her arms around me hugging and shaking me for dear life causing me to smile and hug her back

"Okay, Bear, you gonna stop shaking your brother or sister?" Paul asked causing her to begin walking around the table before a sharp voice intervened

"Meadow?! Baby?!" She called causing Meadow's smile to fade as Tiffany grabbed hold of her, pulling her into an unwanted hug

"Okay, that's good. Hi, Mother." Meadow said breaking away from her Mom, sitting back down next to Sarai

"Hi, Paul." She then said with a smile causing him to slightly throw a deuce up as he muttered a low, "Hey." causing me to laugh internally

That's when her eyes rested on me and they weren't too excited.

"This is my fiancé, other daughter, and an unknown little one, Tiffany." Paul then said beginning to smile looking over at me causing me to rise from my seat and reach my hand out for her to shake

"I'm Serenity," I said holding my hand out which she looked down at with lips pursed together just taking a long gaze at my engagement ring causing me to pull my hand back slowly ignoring her rudeness

"I'm sorry..." She stated beginning to mask her sheer anger with a chuckle before she said, "Who's the unknown little one?"

Meadow then smiled and said, "Dad and his gorgeous wifey here are having a baby!"

She then laughed and said, "Oh, really?"

"Yes!" Paul replied with a smirk

"I thought you said you did not want to have more children?" She then asked sitting down with a raised eyebrow

"That changed when I fell in love with this lovely lady." He then said grabbing my hand softly

"Paul, what is this? Me, you, and Meadow were supposed to meet! Not you, your fiancé and wife, or whoever the hell she is to you and her child!" She snapped hitting the table with her hand causing it to shake slightly and my daughter to flinch at her erratic mannerism before she walked over to me and wrapped her arms around me

"Tiffany! Don't you dare speak to my wife like that! Calm yourself!" Paul then snapped returning the same energy she released

I began grabbing my purse and then said, "No, It's fine I'll just go through the stores at the strip mall down the block. You guys can talk." I said while grabbing Sarai's hand and standing up

"Mama bear please stay!" Meadow pleaded causing me to pout as she ran into my arms, "You know I would most definitely stay if I could, beautiful, but I'm not welcome." I replied moving a strand of hair from her eyes

"Baby, if you are uncomfortable you don't have to leave, she does. Whatever you say goes." Paul said briskly getting up from his chair and grabbing my hand

"No! I want her to leave!" Tiffany then said louder

Well, at least the place is empty, therefore, this won't be online.

"Sarai, princess, please cover your ears and excuse my language you all but Tiffany you are not in control of a fucking thing underneath my presence. You left Meadow's life to chase the guy of your 'dreams'. So, don't you ever bring your snobby ass around me and my wife and think you can command someone because you get angry with the outcome of things. I'm fucking angry too, angry with the fact that you are a sorry excuse of a so-called Mother! I'm angry with the fact you were driving my daughter around drunk when she was just a baby and almost got her killed! You bit the dust years ago and another woman came and took that place better than you could've ever done!" Paul said sharply as a tear fell from her eyes and her nose flared in anger

"So we can sit here and have this conversation like adults or you're gonna just show your ass and I'm going to show mines right along with you," Paul concluded beginning to smile

"Sarai, you can uncover." He said with a little laugh while tickling her stomach causing her to laugh as she moved her little hands from her ears

"Paul, baby, it's okay. Me and Sarai will let you guys have this conversation. We will be right down the street." I said looking him in the eyes causing him to pull me into a tender kiss before handing me the car keys

"Be safe. I love you two." He then said hugging me and Sarai

"I love you too, baby." I replied as Meadow hugged me again, "I love you, Mom." She said lowly as we hugged

"I love you too, little Speedy," I replied causing her to laugh as she hugged Sarai tightly before we made our exit
