A few months later, the whole Gordon family was still trying to get used to living in Germany. All but Reece, Nicole, Greg, Damian, Ada, and his grandparents. Nicole loved Scotland, but she also loved Germany. Mainly because she could see Adele almost every day. It was a joy having both sides of her family in one spot.

"Your belly is growing," Reece said, rubbing her small baby bump. "I feel like we just found out you were pregnant. Now you are like four months," He said, kissing her belly smiling as he felt their baby move underneath his hand.

"You may not want to do this, but I want to have a gender reveal. Nothing big. Riley and X know what we are having, and I want to know...."

"I could see if Natalie and Vi could whip something up for us by this evening if you like. I think I already know what we are having, but I want to see if I'm right," Reece said, making Nicole lifted up looking over at him.

"I know what you are having, but I'm not telling," Jamiyah said, making Davontae laugh. Reece chuckled, shaking his head they were fitting in well with them. Jamiyah and Kiera never hush. Mykia was the quiet one that loved to be with the babies or under Adele and Damya. He believed it made Adalynn and AJ mad.

"And how do you know?"

"Xerxes told me. Reece, can we do that? I want to help Elijah make the cakes...."

"You want to go look at Zendaya," Reece cut her off saying. Miyah's eyes when wide. She didn't know that Elijah had caught on to her little crush on Victor and Natalie's youngest daughter and Elijah's little protégé. However, she loved to cook too.

"That's not it, Reece. I have an idea for a cake and... and...."

"Stop fucking lying, that's and," Davontae said, hitting her in the face with a pillow. Jamiyah screamed, making Nailah laugh. Michael looked confused as she hit him back, jumping up and running. Kiera's bad self jumped on Vontae's back, yelling, 'leave my sister alone!' As Mykia just watched, shaking her head, same as Nicole and Reece.

"Natalie said to be glad. She loves us, and Elijah cursed me out then said okay."

"That man goes all out his way to be extra," Davontae said, shaking his head.

"I wouldn't be Elijah if he didn't," Xerxes said walked in. Reece lifted his head a little, looking over the couch at him.

"Damn, bro, I know we have a doorbell. Did you forget where it was?"

"Tae, don't make me beat your fucking ass again. Reece knew I was coming. I texted him before walking into the fucking house. Plus, Richard is right there." Xerxes said point back to the butler. "Reece, you coming or what?"

"Yeah..."

"Where are you going?" Nicole said, making Reece stop then running his hand through his hair. He had forgotten to tell Nicki that he found a new location to move Gordon Enterprise to.

"Fuck, I'm moving the company out of Scotland to here. Better for us to run it that way. X and I think we found the perfect location. Plus, if you want your animals here, I have to meet shipment down at the docks. The horses and dogs will be here today. The rest will arrive tomorrow." Reece said, making Nicole nodded as he got up, telling Davontae to follow. After they left, Nicole and the kids made their way to the manor.

"Nicki, have you and Reece went over any of those house plans yet?"

Adele asked Nicole as she took the seat next to her. She was watching as Natalie yelled out orders to rest as they set up for the baby reveal.

"Yes, ma'am. I thought Reece sent them to you...."
