Derek and Renee

Chapter 26

We were getting ready for our trip to Paris for our anniversary. We put our bags in our car. Amelia and her boyfriend link were going to stay with the kids. They hadn't showed up yet. I went back inside and Lexie was walking around slowly. I went down to her and she ran to me. I sat on the floor and opened my arms and legs. She fell into my hug. I picked her up and threw her in the air. I caught her and she kept laughing. I really was going to miss her. This is our first day away from all of the kids since I've came back. I kissed her face and we were both laughing. I put her on the ground and she ran away. I chased her.

"I'm gonna get ya" I said

She kept running and screaming laughing. I picked her up

"Got you" I laughed

I carried her outside. Meredith was sorting the bags out.

"Look at mommy" I said pointing to her

Mer looked up

"Mommy" Lexie said holding her arms out

"How's my little girl" Mer smiled holding her hands out

I gave her Lexie and she held her up. She swung her around and Zola came out.

"Daddy" she asked

I looked down at her

"Yes" I asked

"When auntie Amelia comes can we go to the beach whenever we want" she asked

"You can but only with other Amelia or link with you guys. Not by yourself" I said

"Can we go to different fun places" she asked

"Yes you guys can do whatever you want with them and hey you and your brother and sister better mess with them. Pull pranks on them" I smiled

She started laughing. Amelia pulled a car up and pulled into the driveway

"Amelia" Zola yelled running to her

Amy got out of the car and hugged her

"Zola you've gotten so big" she said

"Come on I want to show you something" Zola said

Amelia got out of the car and I noticed something. Her stomach. She was pregnant.

"Meredith" I whispered

"Yes" she asked

"Is she pregnant" I whispered

She stared at Amelia

"Yes she is" Mer smiled

We all walked inside. Bailey and Ellis came downstairs

"Zola we're leaving" Mer yelled

We both hugged the kids. I kissed Lexie's head. Mer did the same and handed Lexie to link. Zola came down

"Bye zozo" Mer said

We both hugged her.

"You are probably going to be a babysitter to these two" I said pointing to link and Amy

She started laughing

"Bye guys" Mer and I said

"Bye mom, dad" the kids said

"Wait I have to tell you something outside" Amy said to us

I nodded. We walked outside and shut the door

"What is it" I asked

"I'm pregnant" she said

Mer and I looked at each other
