Izzy's POV

"They're so cute. I want us to become like your parents." I whisper to Christen.

"So married?" She asks and I hum as I snuggle into her.

"Happy and in love forever." I whisper.

"Christen put the blanket over her." Cody says and I giggle.

"Yeah Christen." I mumble.

"She said she was hot." Chris says and I shake my head.

"I'm cold."

I lower myself and get inside her hoodie. I pop my head out from the opening and lay my head on the side of her neck.

"This right here. This is all I need. My god you're so warm."

"Say cheese." Channing says.

I look up and smile as I wrap my arms around Christen's middle.

"You two are absolutely adorable." Tyler says and I smile.

"We should tell them because I can't wait any longer." Chris says and I grin.

"Go get the bags I'll set up the phone." I whisper and she nods.

I lower myself again as I get out of Christen's hoodie. I sit up and smile at Chris who smiles back at me.

"I need everyone to sit down here, Bella and I have gifts for you all." Chris says and I nod.

I walk to the kitchen and I find Stacy preparing some food. I smile as I tap her shoulder.

"Oh hi Bella, didn't hear you." She says and I smile.

"Stacy my favorite Press, come on to the living room. Christen and I have some gifts for you all." I say and she smiles.

"You guys shouldn't have." She says and I laugh.

Well...

"Come on, and don't tell Christen you're my favorite." I whisper and she laughs.

"Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me." She says patting my back.

"I heard that!" Chris shouts.

"Oops."

Christen's POV

"What's in here? Cash?" Tyler asks.

"Uh no, but you all have to open them at the same time." I say.

"Okay so ready?" Bella asks and my family nods. "Open them!"

I reach over to grab Bella's hand and stroke my thumb over her knuckles. Bella then leans against me as we wait for them to realize what it is.

"I don't get it." Channing says.

"What don't you get?" I ask.

"It's backwards that's why, turn it around." Bella says.

"World's greatest grandma." Mom says.

"World's greatest aunt." Tyler says.

"World's greatest aunt." Channing says.

"World's greatest grandpa." Dad says.

"Channing are you pregnant?" Tyler asks and I snort.

"What? No!"

I reach into my sweats pocket and pass it to Bella. We open the ultrasound pictures and let it roll down.

"Surprise!" Bella and I shout.

"Oh my god! They're having a baby!"

"No way. No way. No way. NO WAY!"

"Oh my goodness, Cody we're going to be grandparents!" My mom shouts as she hugs my dad.

"Oh my god yes! Congratulations. I'm so happy for you two." Channing says as she gets up from the couch.

My family hugs Bella and I. As they congratulate us and I smile as they continue to hug Bella.

"I'm so happy for you sweetie." My mom says as she hugs me. I laugh lightly as I feel some tears fall.

"Thanks mom." I wipe my tears as she lets me go and walks over to Bella.

"My sweet Bella, congratulations. Christen take good care of her." My mom says and I chuckle.

"I will mom. I will."

"Bella you come over whenever you want to." My dad says.

"I will definitely be here quite often if you will let me." Bella says and I laugh.

"Alright let's celebrate shall we?" Mom says.

We all follow to the kitchen, but I pull Bella back into the living room.

I place my hands on her waist as she places her arms on my face. The biggest smile on her face which makes me absolutely swoon.

"I love you so much." I whisper as I place a kiss on her palm.

"I love you too, so much." She says. Her bright caramel eyes glowing as the sun hits her face beautifully.

"Come eat you two." Tyler shouts.

Bella and I walk to the dining room and Bella turns to me.

"See look at them. So adorable. I want us to be like them, happy and in love forever, together forever." She whispers.

I turn to look at my parents who are laughing and smiling.

"Anything you want baby." I whisper and kiss her head.

"Help yourself to the food and anything else." My mom tells Bella.

"Thank you Stacy." Bella says then turns to me. "You want me to serve you some food babe?"

"Oh um yes please." I say and she nods.

Izzy's POV

I look at my phone and groan as the brightness blinds me. I look at the time and it read 5:48 am.

"I wonder if they have some popsicles." I whisper as I get out of bed.

I walk downstairs and head to the kitchen. Do I feel like I'm invading? Yes. One hundred percent. So instead of searching in their refrigerator. I go to grab my sweater.

"I knew I had a lollipop." I whisper as I open the wrapper and sit down on the couch.

I feel myself drift to sleep, but I get too tired to even get up and walk back up to Chris's room. I feel my head slowly fall onto the pillow.

"Bella."

"I didn't do it. I just wanted a popsicle." I mumble as I jump up.

"Hey it's okay sweetie."

"Oh hi Stacy." I say smiling and yawn.

"Wanting something sweet?" She asks as she sits down next to me.

"Yeah." I say nodding.

"I understand that. You know we have popsicles in the freezer. I told you you're welcome to anything in this house."

"I felt like I was intruding." I mumble.

"You could never sweetie. Here lay down." She says and I do as told.

I rest my head on her lap as she places a blanket on me.

"Christen was one hyper little girl. Always running around and laughing. She always wanted to be doing something."

"That's adorable."

"It's okay if you fall back asleep. Don't worry. I'll be here." She whispers and I nod.

"Thank you. You make me feel like I have a mom again. I love you Stacy, and I appreciate you very much. I also love your daughter very much."

"I'll be your mom forever, I can't replace her but I'll be here. Trust me sweetie I love you too. Now rest." She says and I yawn.

"Yeah you're my favorite." I mumble.
