"You totally ruined the moment then." Lee told Duncan sternly when he noticed Chloe giggling quietly.

"Actually I enhanced it." Duncan beamed. Lee shook his head and rolled his eyes, glancing down at Chloe when she reluctantly removed herself from his arms.

"You should sit down, you look tired." Lee said worridly. Chloe nodded and slowly sat on the sofa beside Duncan.

"I'll make you a cup of tea." Lee told her, trying to exit the room, before the tears of happiness that he was fighting spilled out of his eyes. Chloe smiled at Duncan as he smiled at her and gently wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"How are you doing Chlo Bo?" Duncan asked her.

"I'm fine." she told him, gently resting her head against his shoulder, fighting to keep her eyes open.

"The sickness isn't so bad now, which has been nice." she told him.

"Did Lee show you the pictures of the baby?" she added, quickly tucking her legs underneath her.

"Yep and the video." he smiled at her.

"Of my little god child." he added proudly, glancing at Chloe's bump. Chloe nodded slowly, smiling slightly to herself.

"Are you feeling okay about becoming a mother?" he asked her.

"I think so. I mean it is scary, but I think I can do it, and I'll have Lee, so it'll be okay." she replied quietly.

"Although I am a bit worried about the giving birth part." she admitted, swallowing the lump that was rising in her throat when she thought about the pain that she would have to endure.

"It'll be worth it though." Duncan pointed out, snapping her out of her thoughts. Chloe nodded slowly, gently closing her eyes, no longer able to fight the exhaustion that she was feeling. Duncan glanced at Chloe, smiling slightly when he realised that she'd fallen asleep. His eyes flickered up as Lee returned, carrying a cup of tea and quickly setting it down on the coffee table.

"You're too late, she's already fallen asleep." Duncan chuckled. Lee nodded slowly as he slowly sat on Chloe's other side. He watched her closely, smiling slightly at how adorable she looked as she slept peacefully. Lee placed his hand on her leg, longing to be close to her.

"I hope you realise how lucky you are." Duncan said quietly.

"I definitely do." Lee said quietly, staring at Chloe fondly.

"Even after all this time, I still don't feel like I deserve her." Lee admitted.

"And yet she's the one who thinks she doesn't deserve me." he continued, shaking his head slowly.

"I still can't believe that you are going to be a Dad." Duncan said quietly, glancing at Chloe as she fidgeted in her sleep. She opened her eyes for a moment, before gently resting her head on Duncan's lap and quickly falling back asleep.

"Me neither, I never pictured myself having a family, until I started dating Chloe." Lee said, smiling slightly.

"It's going to be a good looking baby with your guys gene pool." Duncan smiled, glancing between the two of them.

"It's ridiculous how beautiful she is." Lee said fondly, still not able to tear his eyes away from Chloe.

"And yet she doesn't believe it." he added, sighing sadly.

"She's a lot more confident than she was though." Duncan pointed out.

"Yeah kind of." Lee said quietly, sighing quietly to himself.
