Christen's POV

I open my eyes and stretch as I yawn. I turn over to face Bella, but she's not here? Empty.

"Baby?" I call out.

At the sound of no response I quickly get out of bed and walk to the bathroom to see if she's there.

"Baby?"

Nothing. I walk downstairs and try the second bathroom, but she's not there either. I walk into the living room and I halt.

"Mom what are you doing here?" I whisper and she looks up at me with a smile.

"She was looking for a popsicle this morning, she felt like she was intruding our home by trying to find one. Instead she ate a small lollipop she had. I was just waking up. Had a small conversation and she fell asleep right here on my lap." Mom says and I softly smile.

"Here I got her." I say as I try and lift Bella up. But Bella starts to stir in her sleep.

"It's okay, leave her here. She's okay like this. Let her sleep."

"Are you sure? I can lift her up and we can switch spots. If you have things to do it's okay mom. I can switch you spots." I say, but my mom shakes her head.

"Leave her here Christen. I'm okay with her being right here." My mom says as she runs her hands through Bella's hair.

"Ugh no fair. Mom you have favorites." Tyler says from behind me.

"Aww she looks so cute when sleeping." Channing says and I grin.

"She's cute all the time." I say.

"Alright keep it down she's sleeping." Mom says.

I head to the other seat and patiently wait for Bella to wake up. But it's been over an hour and I want her to be up.

"I'm going to wake her up." I say as I reach over to shake her.

"Annemarie leave her alone."

"Mom it's late. I'm just going to wake her up."

"Absolutely not. Let her rest."

"Oh my god." I groan as I throw my head back. "I'm going out for a run then."

Izzy's POV

I open my eyes and see Stacy. I smile and then yawn as I look around.

"Good morning sweetie."

"Good morning Stacy." I say. I then realize my head is on her lap and my eyes widen. "Oh my god. I'm so sorry to be of a bother."

"It's okay don't worry, I wasn't bothered at all. It reminded me of when Christen used to sleep on my lap when she was sick."

"Thank you for letting me." I say and she smiles back at me.

"It's no problem. Christen when out on a run. I suppose she'll be back soon. I'll go make some breakfast now." Stacy says.

"I'll help." I say with a smile, Stacy nods as we head to the kitchen.

"Sweetie, if you're ever here and need anything just grab it."

"I just feel like I'm intruding, I don't know just me." I say with a sigh.

I grab the bananas as I peel them and start to cut them and the same with the apples.

"You're a part of this family, you're more than welcome to anything."

"Well thank you. I appreciate it." I say and we both smile.

I grab the pancake mix and start to mix. Then I help cooking the eggs and hash browns although I'm not the biggest fan of hash browns.

"This smells so good." I mumble.

"Hi you." Christen says catching me by surprise. Her arms slipping around my middle as she kisses my cheek.

"Hi babe."

"What are you doing?"

"Helping your mom make some breakfast." I say motioning my head down to the eggs.

"Smells good."

"You on the other hand don't smell very good, go shower." Stacy says and I snort.

"Oh my god. Mom."

"Chop chop Christen, food is almost ready." Stacy says and I laugh.

"Go shower babe, you heard your mom. She stinks a little doesn't she Stacy?"

"Your girlfriend is too nice Christen, because I'd say you reek." Channing says.

"You know what? I don't like this bullying going on. I'll be right back." Chris says as she backs away.

"Hey where's my kiss?" I ask as I turn around, she laughs as she walks back towards me.

"Right, sorry." She says and pecks my lips. "I'll be right back."

Christen's POV

"I have some baby pictures to show you, and some videos." My mom tells Bella and my eyes widen.

"Mom. No please no!" I beg.

"Christen honey you were an adorable baby, plus I'm sure Bella would love to see those pictures and videos of you. Isn't that right sweetie?"

"Mhm yeah that's right. Very right. I definitely want to see baby Christen." Bella says looking at me, she leans over to kiss my cheek. "Very right. Baby Chris."

"Oh god." I groan.

"Come on sweetie, let's get you a popsicle and look at the baby pictures."

"Oh yippee." I say sarcastically.

Bella and my mom walk to the kitchen where they grab a popsicle. My mom grabbing the photo albums. I smile as they point to the pictures and they giggle.

The two most important women to me in this world. And my sisters of course, but those two are something else.

"Babe, you're a sore loser." Bella shouts and I roll my eyes.

"She told you that story? My dignity mom!"

"Well I'm glad she knows that story now. It's a great story." Channing says.

"Right because pushing a random little girl into the mud for missing a wide open shot is a great story." Tyler says.

"That little girl was in my way okay."

"The little girl wasn't even a part of any team!" Tyler says and I shrug.

"In my way." I say.

"Hey Chris?" Channing says and I hum.

"Yeah?"

"I spy a small baby bump." Channing says and my eyes widen, a big smile forming on my face.

"She's starting to show." Tyler says and I just stare. "Have you not noticed?"

"N-no I haven't noticed. Cute small baby bump." I whisper.

Bella turns to look at me and I smile as she smiles back at me. Her popsicle in her hand as she waves at me, big smile on her face.

"God she's so pretty."

"We get it, but make sure you keep it in your pants while we're here." Tyler says patting my shoulder.

"Can't blame me if I can't." I say with a smirk.
