Baby Mama

6

Miranda and Ben got on the plane and found their seats. Ben took their suitcases and put it in the cubby above their heads.
After he sat down and got situated he pulled out his crossword.

Miranda smiled looking over at him. "You love crosswords you do one every day." Miranda said looking up at him.

"Yeah I do. I've done one everyday for 24 years now."

"Why?" Miranda asked curiously.

"I had a lot of adrenaline growing up and I couldn't sit still, so I started doing crosswords and that seemed to work. "

Miranda nodded her head and began helping Ben complete the puzzle before she doze off and fell asleep with her head on his shoulders.

"Miranda we are here." Ben whispered shaking her.

Miranda opened her eyes and looked into his.
"We are here already. I’m sorry Ben I didn't mean to sleep the entire flight. I didn't keep you company at all." Miranda pouted.

"You are completely fine. I slept for about 2 hours." Ben told her and Miranda nodded.

Ben grabbed there things and they walked off hand in hand. He knew exactly which one was Miranda's mom. She was smiling brightly and was just a older version of Miranda. They look very similar.

"Hey Mandy." Elena said excitedly giving her a hug.

"Hey mama." Miranda said squeezing her back.

"Oh my God Miranda look at your stomach." Her mother exclaimed looking down at it.
Miranda nodded and she turned to Ben standing beside her.

"Mama this is Benjamin Warren. Ben this is my mother Elena Bailey."

"Hi its nice meeting you Ma'am." Ben said Extending his hand.

Elena ignored his hand and pulled him in for a hug.

"Its nice meeting you too Ben." Her mother told him.

"Mom where's dad?" Miranda said glancing around.

"Oh he's in the car. Come on let's go on out." Ben grabbed the suitcases and all the bags walking behind the two women who were talking about everything.

"How far along are you? Elena asked.

"I will be 6 months next week." Miranda told her smiling.

"And do you know the sex?" She questioned.

"We find out next week as well."

When the three got to the car. William got out and walked around hugging Miranda.

"Hey baby girl." William said eyeing Ben who was standing behind Miranda.

"Hi daddy." Miranda said sweetly.

William walked back around and pop the trunk without saying a word to Ben.
Miranda rolled her eyes before saying loudly

"Daddy this is Benjamin Warren. Ben this is my father William Bailey." Miranda said introducing them.

Ben extended his hand greeting him and William shook it nodding his head.

"Nice meeting you Sir." Ben smiled.

"Likewise." William smiled back.

Ben put the luggage in the trunk. And took Miranda's snacks out of the bag. He opened both doors for her and her mother helping them inside the truck.

"Here you go Miranda." Ben said handing her some celery and a peanut butter cup.

"Thank you baby. I’m starving." Miranda said smiling.

"Miranda I need you to help me and your Aunt Valerie cook tomorrow. " Elena asked.

"Ok Mama." Miranda nodded she hated cooking with her Aunt Val. She cooks all over the kitchen.

"Can you please make your Maple Bacon French toast cupcakes." William asked.

"Daddy you know you can't eat to many sweets." Miranda expressed.
"Mirandaaa." He pouted.

"Maple bacon French toast cupcakes." Ben repeated.

"You haven't made him any Mandy?" Her father asked.

"No she hasn't." Ben said turning to her and Miranda looked at him.

"Miranda shame on you." Her mother chimed in.

"Those cupcakes are to die for." William exclaimed.

"Daddy I gave momma the recipe. She could make you some."

"She doesn't make them right." He laughed.

"I’m sitting right here." Elena exclaimed and everyone laughed.


When they pulled up at their house Ben got out the car and opened the door for both women once again.

"Hey I can do that." William said.

"Oh sorry Sir. It's just out of habit." Ben shrugged.

Miranda grabbed his hand to get out and Ben whispered in her ear. "When do I get these cupcakes?"

Miranda eyes widened and she licked her lips because that sounded dirty.
"He's just your friend." She told herself multiple times.

"Everyone doesn't have the privilege of getting the cupcakes." She responded walking inside the house.

"Mama is that ribs and macaroni & cheese." Miranda asked walking straight to the kitchen.

"You have a powerful nose." Her dad laughed.

"Its the pregnancy." Miranda said opening the pots and pans on the stove. "What time is dinner?" Miranda asked walking back into the living room.

"You can put your luggage in the back bedroom on the left." Elena told Ben.


"Dinner is in two hours Miranda. We figured you two would be a little jet leg."

"Yeah I shouldn't have napped on the plane. " Miranda said as Ben came back into the room.
After dinner Miranda and her mother were washing dishes and cleaning up while Ben and her dad was watching a basketball game.

"I’m glad you are happy." Elena said turning to face her.

"Thank you I really am." Miranda said smiling.

"I can tell and he is in love with you." Her mother said.

"You think so ?" Miranda asked.

"You don't?" Elena questioned.

Miranda exhaled "Its just that we weren't even dating that long before I got pregnant and now we are permanently going to be in each others lives for 18 plus years. I didn't want to move to fast in the first place after Tucker."

"Miranda it doesn't take someone long to fall in love or to know if they want to be with someone forever."  Elena expressed.
"And I know for sure that you love him. I can tell and this love is different than what you had for and with Tucker." She continued.

Miranda nodded her head and smiled. The two woman walked into the living room saying they were getting ready for bed.

"I can sleep on the couch tonight." Ben stated. "I don’t want to disrespect you both or your home laying in the bed unmarried." He finished.

"Being laid up is how you all got into this situation in the first place." Elena said laughing.

"Mama." Miranda gasped and her and Ben blushed.

"I’m just saying that it's not going to hurt anything now." Her mother said.


Ben pulled the covers pack and got into the Bed behind Miranda trying to keep his distance.

"Do you mind if I cut the TV on?" Ben asked her.

"No I don't mind. Find something good to watch." Miranda said yawning.

Ben cut the TV on and scrolled through he stopped on the movie Valentines day.

"Uh No don't nobody want to watch this."

"What's wrong with valentines day?"

"Its a stupid holiday and a stupid movie." Miranda huffed.

"You don’t like valentines day and you were married for more than 10 years." Ben asked confused.

"What does not liking valentines day have to do with being married?"

"Because you always had someone to spend it with or to go all out for you." Ben said sincerely.

"Nobody has ever went all out for me on valentines day." Miranda told him seriously turning in the bed to face him. "And I've only ever been with Tucker."

"Sexually." Ben questioned shocked.

"Yes, sexually, romantically or a relationship period." Miranda said.

"Wow." Ben stated.

"What's the wow for Benjamin." Miranda asked sitting up now.

"It's nothing really. I just- you are very admirable."

"Why because I’m basically a Nun." Miranda laughed.

"You are far from a Nun." Ben chuckled and then stop because he was referring to what he witnessed a few weeks ago.

"Lets just watch this movie." Miranda said scooting back down in the bed.

Miranda woke up in the middle of the night and slowly Turned on her side and watched Ben sleep. She wanted him so bad it was ridiculous maybe she should just tell him and see how it goes.

She pushed him slightly twice waking him up.
"Hey Miranda you okay?" Ben questioned opening his eyes fully.

"I’m fine. I-I just want you." Miranda said biting her lip.

"Huh?" Ben asked confused.

"I like you... okay. And I have for a while now." Miranda said nervously fiddling with her hands as she waited for his response.

"I like you too Miranda." Ben told her seriously staring into her eyes.

"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on and you have the biggest and warmest heart." He added.

Miranda smiled looking at him as she scooted closer to him. Ben took this opportunity and brought his hand to her waist pulling her body as close to him as her stomach would allow.

He leaned in and kissed her lips softly and she happily kissed him back.  Miranda moaned loudly into the kiss as it became heated and much more passionate. Ben felt himself start to harden as he kissed her roughly loving the sounds of her moans.

Miranda broke the kiss and sat up fully reaching for the hem of her night gown she pulled it over her head throwing it on the floor.
Ben took this moment to look at her bra covered breast and black panties as she laid back onto the bed. She was a master piece.
He licked his lips hungrily taking her in, but then it hit him they were at her parents house.

"Wait Miranda maybe we should wait until we are back home." Ben said rubbing his forehead.

Miranda clicked her teeth. "Ben I don’t want to wait. I want you now." She told him seriously.

Ben watched as she sat up again this time she threw her legs on the sides of his body and straddled him grinding her self on his erection.

"Damn Miranda." Ben said grabbing her hips.
He sat up pressing their bodies together and grabbed the clasp of her bra undoing it. Ben took his hand and pulled her bra straps down her shoulders and his eyes was met with the most perfect pair of breast. That were perfectly round and looked firm.

Miranda moaned loudly when his wet mouth descended on her right nipple sucking it into his mouth.

"Oh God Benjamin." Miranda moaned softly trying to keep quiet.

Ben licked and sucked both of her breast as she leaned her head back and a lot of obscenities flying out her mouth.

Ben took his hands and rubbed her sex through her panties finding them soaked. "God Miranda." He groaned. He couldn't wait any longer he took both of his hands on both sides of her panties and pulled ripping the thin material off her body.
Miranda whined and moaned loudly again and moved harder on him.

"Mirandaaaa." Ben said loudly.

"What?" Miranda said groggily kicking him hard in his calf causing his eyes to fly open.

"Huh?" Ben questioned confused looking around the room.

"Why do you keep calling my name?" Miranda murmured with a slight attitude.

"I was just telling you that I was going to take a shower." Ben said quickly realizing that he was dreaming earlier.

"Okay do that quietly." Miranda said turning her head in the other direction finding sleep again.

Ben slid out of bed and stood up. He definitely needed a cold shower because he just had one hell of a dream. Ben got up and took a shower and put on pajama pants. He slid back in bed with Miranda and fell asleep. When he woke up he expected to see Miranda still in bed, but her side was empty.

He got dressed for the day and walked out into the living room. He saw her dad sitting on the couch.


"Good morning sir." Ben said walking closer.

"Ben why are you so formal. You can call me William or Bill." William told him.

"Okay William." Ben laughed.
And he nodded.

"Where is Miranda?"

"Her mother and her left to the store to grab things for tonight." Her dad told him.

Ben pulled out his phone and sure enough it was a text from Miranda saying she went to the store and to text if he wanted something. Ben texted back that he was fine and for her to be safe.

"So when are you going to make an honest woman out of my daughter?" William said sternly.

Ben swallowed hard because in all actuality. He has to date her first.

" I plan to. Things just progressed faster than I would have like to. I definitely had planned to be married before having children, but it didn't go that way."

"What you all don't believe in protection?" William said.

Ben eyes widened and he coughed. "We do and did? He responded lying. He hoped Miranda was on her way back now.

"Do you love her?"

"Yes of course." Ben didn't hesitate to answer he knew he loved Miranda. He couldn't help but to.

"Just don't break her heart and you're alright with me."

"I won't." Ben said seriously and the door opened up.

"Good morning daddy. Good morning Ben." Miranda said hugging him.

"Good morning." The two men responded.

"Baby can you grab the bags from the car?"

"Okay." Ben said going outside to get them.

"Did you all by the whole store? William laughed looking at all the bags being brought in.

"Its going to be about 30 people here tonight and you know your brother eats a lot." Elena said laughing.

Ben got dressed in the bathroom while Miranda got dressed in the room. He finished dressing putting on khakis, a white dress shirt, a brown belt, and brown dress shoes. He walked towards the room knocking on the door.
"Hey Ben come in." Miranda said.

Ben walked in and grabbed his watch off the nightstand putting it on.

"Ben I cant fit this dress." Miranda huffed sitting on the edge of the bed.

"What you look incredible. It fits." Ben confirmed looking her up and down.
Miranda had on a white sweater dress. She had make up on and even eyelashes. She paired her outfit with gold jewelry.

"That's the problem. Its tight every where showing off everything." Miranda expressed leaning back. "And this stomach keeps growing every day an insane amount."

"Miranda you look beautiful and you can't help the assets that you have. I think its sexy personally."
That made Miranda blush. " thank you Ben. Help me put these shoes on."

"Heels. Are you sure? Your feet is going to hurt." Ben said seriously looking at the tan shoes.

"They are knee high heel boots. They are sturdier and more comfortable than regular platforms."

Ben helped Miranda put her shoes on and then helped her up off the bed. She did look stunning.
Miranda grabbed her Louis Vuitton purse and grabbed Ben's hand walking out the room.

"Wow well don't you two look nice."  Elena said coming out of the kitchen. Wearing a blue dress and heels.

"Thank you mama." Miranda smiled.

"Here let me take a picture of you both." She smile.

Ben wrapped his arms around Miranda and she stood in front of him. Even with heels on he was still significantly taller than her. The two smiled in one and Ben kissed her cheek in another.

Ben took a picture of Miranda and her mom together. And then another one with her dad when he came into the room.

"Come on before were late." Elena told them walking out.

They walked into the church, friends and family, and church members were all shaking hands with Miranda. Talking and giving her hugs, meeting Ben.

"Who is this handsome man?" Valerie asked Miranda after hugging her.

"Aunt Val this is My boyfriend Benjamin Warren. Ben this is my mom's sister Valerie." Miranda said scrunching her nose up. Her perfume was strong as hell.

"Nice meeting you." Ben said.

Miranda sat into the pew with Ben beside her and she rolled her eyes as her cousins kept staring at Ben. She didn't even want to introduce him to them, but she knew she would have to back at the house.

"You see her right there." Miranda said nodding her head towards a woman in a tight black dress and tall heels.

"Yeah what about her?" Ben asked.

"When we get back to my parents house tonight stay away from her. That’s my cousin Natasha and she sleeps with everyone's man. You may not be mine, but I'll be damned if she tries it with you." Miranda said sternly and Ben chuckled.

"I'm serious Ben Warren."

"I know you are. I will not go near her." Ben said grasping her hand.

They sat and waited for the service to begin and they watched as the pastor's walked out and said their greetings.

"I see a familiar face in the crowd.  Is that Miranda Bailey back home?" Pastor Mark asked from the pulpit.

Miranda blushed then waved at him as the whole church turned to look at her.

"Our songbird moved crossed the country and is a gifted surgeon." He smiled. "Miranda come on up here and bless us with your beautiful voice."

Miranda blushed even harder and shook her head no in a polite manner.
Everyone turned and looked at her smiling waiting for her to get up. Ben turned to Miranda and smiled he didn't even know she could sing.

"Go on up there." Her mother said.

Miranda took a deep breath and stood up. Ben stood up as well to let her out of the pew.

He knew she was nervous so he kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear. "you will do great." Miranda nodded and walked down the aisle.

She was handed a microphone and Miranda walked over to the minister of music telling him what song and key.
Ben listened as Miranda talked about new beginnings and blessing in the upcoming year. She also talked about how amazing God was while the music was playing.
He watched as the choir stood behind her and she started singing "Amazing By Ricky Dillard."

She was beautiful and she sounded beautiful.
He sat in awe of her voice and talent. The whole church was standing on their feet.

"You were amazing." Ben whispered when she sat back beside him.

"Thank you." Miranda blushed.

"Why didn't you tell me you could sing?"

"It wasn't important and I sung along to the radio in the car with you." Miranda shrugged.

"That is not the same and you know it." He whispered back chuckling.

Ben and Miranda stopped talking when the pastor started preaching.

After a while they were standing on there feet praying and after the Amen's everyone shouted happy new years to each other.

Ben watched as everyone greeted Miranda and told her how good she did on the song and how they missed hearing her voice.
When they got back to her parents house Ben was introduced to so many people. Her aunts, uncles ,and distant cousins.

"Tiffany, Mya, Crystal this is Ben. Ben these are my cousins." Miranda said drinking her orange juice.

Ben smiled and then was called by William into the dining room with the men.

"Damn Miranda he is fine." Mya squealed and Miranda laughed.

"Where did you meet him from again." Tiffany asked laughing.

"At work." Miranda responded.

"He can give me plenty of check ups." Crystal laughed.

"How did Tucker take this news." Tiffany said putting her hands on her stomach.

"He was pissed but so what?" Miranda smirked.

"So how's the - " Mya started.

"I’m know where your going with that and I’m not answering." Miranda said firmly.

"I’m just saying your walking around glowing and I don’t think its just from pregnancy alone." Mya chuckled out.

"Ugh I’m done with this conversation " Miranda blushed and went into the kitchen to finish up cooking.

Ben walked out of the dining room and sat on the couch. Where a few people were watching tv.

He felt the couch dip beside him. So he turned to see who it was. Natasha he said to himself. He remembered what Miranda said so he scooted over on the couch and pulled out his phone.

"Tell me about yourself." Natasha said putting her hand on his thigh and leaning so her breast were on display.

Ben pushed her hand off his thigh and scooted further over on the couch.

"I’m good." Ben responded.

"I can make you feel good." She said seductively.

"You'd wish. I’m not interested. " Ben said flatly before getting up and walking to the kitchen. He seen Miranda icing the cupcakes she made earlier. He tried to grab one and she smacked his hand.

"Bennnn not right now." Miranda said putting the icing bag down.

"You made about 40. Why can't I have one now." He pouted.

"Because I'm not done I still have to put bacon on the top of them." She laughed.

Ben groaned and hugged her from behind.
"I will bring you one in a minute I promise." Miranda told him.

He walked back into the living room and stood against the wall drinking a mimosa and listening to various conversations.

"What do you see in my cousin Miranda?" Natasha said coming up in front of him.

Ben face contorted. This woman just wouldn't quit it. He didn't understand why she would want to be continuously rejected.

"Everything. What don't I see ? She is everything and more." Ben said sincerely.


"But don't you want me?" She asked twisting her hair between her fingers trying to look sexy.

Ben opened his mouth to say No. But he heard a voice from behind him.

"No hoe, but in a minute the undertaker will.” Miranda growled.

"It wasn't what it look like." Natasha said quickly to a flaming Miranda.

"Bitch it was exactly what it looked like. Don’t insult my intelligence." Miranda said stepping towards her.

"Miranda just calm down. She isn't worth it." Ben said grabbing her waist. He had never seen Miranda this mad before. Her eyebrows were lowered and pulled close together. Her lips were pursed together and her eyeswere dark.

"Don’t test me." Miranda responded jumping at her cousin causing her to flinch. If Miranda wasn't pregnant she knew in her heart she would have fought her.

"Are you okay." Ben asked after Natasha walked away.

Miranda didn't say anything she just shoved the cupcake she was bringing him into his hands and walked off.

Ben waited a second confused then he walked after her. He found Miranda sitting on the porch swinging back and forth.

"Hey baby are you okay?"

"You don't have to call me that no one is around. Miranda told him seriously.

Ben didn't care if anyone was around or not.
"Miranda what’s wrong?" He asked taking one hand pulling on the swing to stop it from moving. When it stopped he sat beside her on the swing and pushed back and forth so they could swing again.

"Sorry I just hate people like that." Miranda responded. "She caused me to get these stupid Braxton hicks." Miranda finished rubbing her stomach.

"I hate people like that too." Ben said sincerely.

"So you didn't find that attractive?" Miranda questioned facing him.

"Not in the slightest way. Why would I want a woman who clearly doesn't have self morals and literally any man can get easily?"

"Mmm" Miranda said

"What." Ben asked

"Its just most men would have entertained it or her."

"Well I’m not like most men. Now am I Miranda." Ben questioned rubbing her leg.

"You are definitely not." She responded quickly.

"My ex-husband Tucker would have and he probably would have had sex with her."  She laughed then frowned.

"The more I hear about your ex husband the more I don't like him. He was an ass." Ben said seriously.

Miranda laughed and nodded her head.
"My feet hurt Ben." Miranda whined.

"I told you not to wear those shoes." He laughed.

"Well what was I supposed to wear. Go to church in bedroom slippers?" Miranda inquired playfully.

"Anything would have sufficed."
"Here hold my cupcake." Ben told her.

Miranda held his cupcake while he bent down and pulled her feet to his lap. Taking off her bedroom slippers. He began to rub her feet and Miranda moaned softly.
Ben looked over at her and she eyed him back daring him to say something.

Miranda pulled on the cupcakes liner and took his cupcake out she pulled a piece off and brought it to his mouth to feed him.

Ben smiled and opened his mouth and groaned causing Miranda to laugh.
"Damn. Give me another piece." He insisted.

Miranda did as told and her breath hitched when his mouth enclosed around her finger. Her friend was absent-mindedly turning her on.

She gave him some more and Ben did the same thing this time licking the icing off her fingers and Miranda moaned.

"Benjamin stop." She moaned.
He looked at her and shrugged.

"What am I doing Miranda." He asked inching closer to her face.

"You know what and its not right to mess with me I’m pregnant."
Ben stared into Miranda's eyes and she stared back intently. They both started to lean in.

"Miranda come on it’s time to say grace." Elena said opening the front door.

Miranda and Ben jumped back from each other and blushed. Ben licked his lips and put her slippers back on her feet. He helped her up and they went inside.

Miranda's heart was pounding. She was pissed her mother interrupted them. She was getting ready to feel his lips on hers for the first time.

"Bye mama and bye daddy." Miranda said hugging them both tightly.

"It was nice meeting you Ben." Elena said smiling.
"You too." Ben responded back.
"Remember what we talked about." William said sternly and Ben nodded.
Miranda turned to Ben confused and raised an eyebrow.

"I will send you both plane tickets and the baby shower invitation." Miranda said happily.

"Alright have a good flight." Elena and William said before walking away.


They arrive at the hospital and Ben could feel Miranda's body go rigid beside him. He laced his fingers with hers and together they walked into the hospital. Their wait in the waiting room was short and, before they knew it, they were awaiting the doctor in the exam room.

"Good morning Dr. Bailey and Dr. Warren" Dr. Monroe said as she entered the exam room. Miranda and Ben both nodded their greetings. "I am so happy to see you both again. Let's take a look and find out the sex today."

Miranda pulled up her shirt and Dr. Monroe started the ultrasound. After only a few minutes of searching, the whoosh whoosh sound of the baby's heart rate filled the room. It was so strong and powerful.

"Look at his or her little nose. It looks just like yours." Ben whispered into her ear and her smile got impossibly bigger.

"Aww look at our baby." Miranda said cooing.

"Well, actually that's not your baby." Dr. Monroe said and Miranda looked confused

"What do you mean?

"Those are your babies." She said and they both couldn't believe their ears.

"What? Come again?" Miranda asked in shock.

"Congratulations, you're having twins!" Dr. Monroe exclaimed and a smile formed on Ben's face. Twins! We're having twins. Ben said shocked but excited.

"This is unbelievable," Miranda uttered clearly not happy. She just went from being single with two kids to 3.

Ben turned to look at Miranda who had her arms crossed and he could tell her mind was racing. "Miranda are you okay?"

"I’m fine Ben. I just need a minute to process. I'm excited I really am just caught off guard is all."

Ben nodded his head still unsure.

"Shall we continue to see the sex of them both."  Dr. Monroe asked.

Miranda nodded wildly actually smiling this time.

The doctor move the wand around and looked. "okay congratulations baby A is a girl."

"A girl." Miranda exclaimed clapping her hands smiling and Ben smiled kissing her forehead.

"And Baby B is also a girl." Dr. Monroe said pointing between the baby's legs.

"Two girls." Ben cheesed.

Miranda got off the examining table and waited for their ultrasounds to be printed as she kept wiping her tears.

"Its really two girls." She said happily.

"Oh my God. Its going to be two miniature versions of you." Ben said frowning a little.

Miranda hit him in his stomach "and you say that like its a bad thing." She huffed.

"No no They are just going to be beautiful and that means trouble when they're older." Ben clarified quickly.

"Oh.. you cleaned that up nicely." Miranda laughed.

The technician came back with their pictures and Ben and Miranda left.

"It all makes since now. No wonder I'm huge." Miranda chuckled.

"You are not huge." Ben stated.

"What ever you say doctor Warren." Miranda said buckling up.

"What do you want to do for the rest of the day." Ben asked.

"Baby shopping and the nursery." Miranda smiled.
