Pregnant again

2

Miranda woke up feeling soft taps on her face. Her husband was sleeping in her neck with his arm around her stomach.

She opened her eyes and looked down at Pru standing with her legs crossed.

"What's wrong honey?"

"Potty." She whispered making a face.

"Oh...oh. Come on. Good job sweetie. " Miranda said removing Ben's hand and sliding off the bed.

She grabbed Pru's hand and walked into her bathroom. After she used it, she let her climb in with them. It was a 11:30, so still fairly early.

Miranda laid down for another hour when nausea swept over her. She had been waking up in the middle of the night throwing up, she tried to eat light dinners, but if she wasn't completely full she would feel even more sick.  She got up to get some ginger-ale and to also add to their to-do list, buying a mini fridge for their room.

After drinking a glass full she looked up as Tuck walked into the kitchen fully dress. Both of their eyes widened looking at the other.

"Tuck what are you... oh my God you were going to sneak out." She said looking him up and down.

Miranda eyes shot towards the clock. 12:45. What the hell could he be doing at this time of night.

"You're having sex." Miranda gasped and her mouth fell open.

"Mom I wasn't going to--" he stuttered.

"Well what would you be doing at this time of night that doesn't require legs to be open."

"I was going to a party." He said quickly.

"So you weren't going to have sex this time, but you had sex before and don't lie because the guilty look already crossed your face when I first mentioned it."

Tuck swallowed and just nodded.

"Oh my God. Does Ben know?" She questioned.

Tuck shook his head no, lying he didn't want to throw his dad under the bus, but he knew.

"What about your dad?" Miranda asked sternly.

"No. He doesn't either." Tuck said lying again.

"Well I will be telling them both." She huffed. " Matter a fact go get Joey up too."

"Mom Joey's--

"He is not a asleep. I know he was going to open the door for you to get back in."

Tuck sighed and walked out of the kitchen. Miranda paced the floor waiting for them to come back.

"Ma wants you." Tuck said coming into Joey's room looking at him sitting on the bed in his pajamas. He was going to the party too.

"Why does she want me?"

"I tried to tell her you were sleep, but that didn't work. She said she knew you were up and was going to open the door for me to get back in."

"How did you get caught?" Joey groaned.

"I didn't see her. She was in the dark." Tuck expressed. "How the hell did you change your clothes that fast?"

"When I was on my way to the kitchen. I heard her voice so I turned back around and changed my clothes back." He laughed.

"That was smart and quick thinking." Tucked laughed too.

Joey walked into the kitchen behind Tuck and watched his foster mom pacing.

"Joseph?" Miranda said looking up at him in his pajamas.

"Yes ma'am."

"You're having sex too?" She questioned intently.

Joey eyes widened and he swallowed hard. What was he supposed to say.

"I’m not going to say I am having sex, but I have before." He tried to clean up.

"With your girlfriend?"

"Yes ma'am."

Miranda blew out a breath. She wanted to cry at her damn near adult sons doing adult things. This was all too much.

"And were you aware that your brother was sneaking out."

Joey made the mistake of smirking before masking it and saying "yes."

Tuck Laughed trying to keep a straight face, but he kept looking at Joey.

"So this is funny to you two. Sneaking out and having sex?"

"No it isn't." Tuck said quickly.

"It is. " Miranda snapped. "Go get dressed we are going on a field trip."

"Ma." Tuck whined.

"Mama Miranda. We swear it isn't funny. " Joey pleaded.

"Nope too late. Go put clothes on." Miranda snapped walking out the kitchen.

"You had to laugh." Joey said to Tuck.

"You started it." He whispered.

Miranda walked to her room pissed.  She tapped her husband waking him up.

"Yes baby?" Ben asked sleepily.

"Get up, Ben were going to the hospital."

"Huh, baby are you okay?" He asked sitting up quickly.

"Yes, I'm fine. I went to the kitchen to go get some ginger-ale about 25 minutes ago. As I’m putting the glass in the sink. Tuck comes in fully dressed. He was sneaking out to go to a party and to top it all off he's having sex. Joey's having sex or had sex, because I asked him and he told me the truth. Our kids are having sex Ben."

Ben sighed he knew they both had sex before, because they had the conversation already. He prepared them and warned them of the responsibility that comes with having sex.

"Miranda Tuck is turning 18 and Joey is turning 19. It's what boys do at their age. I would be more upset if they didn't have condoms.

"Benjamin I don't care how old they are. I'm in a lesson mood now, so we are going to the hospital, get dressed."

"I thought Kelly and Madison were the sweetest, but look what they did to my sons."

"I'm sure they didn't do anything that they didn't want them to." He chuckled.

"This is not funny."

"It isn't, but we have to trust that our kids are responsible."

"Responsible. They can't even remember to cut the light off when they walk out of a room." She replied irritated.

"Sweetie everyone is not like you." Ben stated simply.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean wait until they are married to have sex. I lost my virginity when I was 16."

Miranda rolled her eyes. "I know that. I just wished they waited until they were older." Miranda said her voice breaking.

Ben knew she was about to cry. Her hormones were raging lately. He pulled her into his chest and she grabbed his arms as she cried. He rubbed her back up and down trying to soothe her. When her tears stopped she sniffled and pulled back from him.

"Do you want to go to bed." He tried to persuade.

"No. I already told them we were going. So I’m not going back on my word and I desperately need a milkshake."

"Miranda nothing is open this time of night... well morning."

"7-Eleven is."

"They don’t have any milkshakes, just Slurpee’s."

"They have Oreos, and vanilla ice-cream. So you can make me one when we get home." She said softly.

Ben nodded he could never deny her anything. Like he would ever try. He quickly changed into jeans and a shirt. While Miranda changed into leggings, a shirt, and boots.

She put Pru's coat on over her onesie pajamas, and boots on as well.

Ben carried her in his arms to the living room and glared at the two teenagers on the couch.

"Lets go." Miranda instructed waving her hand for them to get up. She put the diaper bag and her purse on her arm.

The ride to the hospital was fairly silent with little conversations between Miranda and him. He would occasionally look up into the rearview mirror and look at Tuck and Joey. He couldn't wait to get a second alone with them. He had so much he wanted to yell about.

Ben parked the car and walked around to open the door and help his wife step down from their truck.

He got the stroller out, so Pru would have some where to sleep while this lesson occurred.

Miranda walked into the hospital with her family behind her and many interns and doctors greeted her.

"Warren." Owen called out. "Hey chief." He added.

"Morning Dr. Hunt."

"A early one it is."

Ben nodded and gave him a look. Shifting Pru on his shoulder. He stood still and opened the stroller before putting her inside. He watched as she turned her body.

"Hey baby, I'm going to talk to Hunt a second. I will be down there in a few minutes.

"We will be in the display room."

"Okay." He nodded and watch them walk off.

"What's going on?" Hunt asked looking as the boys dragged behind Miranda slowly.

"Miranda just found out the boys were having sex or had sex before." Ben said shaking his head.

"Ah," Owen chuckled. "How did she take it?"

"Not well as you can see we are here. She yelled and cried. Now I'm sure she is going to show them stds and probably something embarrassing like applying condoms or something. I don’t know yet."

"Aren't they both 18?"

"Yep. Tuck just turned 18. Joey will be 19 in a few months."

"They're already doing better than me. I was 16 when I had sex."

"Me too." Ben laughed.

"I’m curious to see this lesson."

"You and me both. I want to laugh, but I have to be in serious parent mode. The two idiots were sneaking out and she was up. So she woke me up, which I am pissed about. I'm tired I had a long shift yesterday, I just wanted to sleep."

"Let me know how it goes?"

"I will." Ben laughed before pushing the stroller to the elevator. He rode the elevator up to the 2nd floor and walked past all the classrooms until he got to the display room. The boys were sitting in the chairs and Miranda stood at the front cutting the screens on with a remote.

She walked to where Ben was by the
Door and adjusted Pru's neck in the stroller.

Schmitt came flying down the hall and peaked his head in the viewing room.

"Chief, I didn't know you were staying late tonight?"
Miranda shushed him and stepped out into the hallway closing the door.

"I didn't. I just came back. My sons here need a lesson a little bit more graphic than what the school taught. Go get me scans of the most gruesome std's and chart cases that required surgery and also I need pictures too."

"I'm on it chief." He nodded taking off once again.

"I don't know what you two were thinking." Ben fumed hitting them both in the back of the head.

"I thought she would be sleep. She normally is asleep by 12:30." Tuck huffed and Joey agreed.

"Let me let you both in on a secret. Your mom is pregnant. She is not sleeping regularly anymore, nothings regular. Which is probably the reason we are all here is because she is hormonal. Please act accordingly and apologetically for your sake and mine. We were both planning for spring break to take you all on a trip and I hate to see it canceled."

"Moms pregnant." Tuck said scrunching up his nose.

"Yes, so act surprised and excited when we tell you. Not that face you just made." Ben chastised.

Joey nodded. "Where are we going for spring break?"

"It's still undecided, but right now we are thinking about a resort in palm springs."

"That's nice."

"Hopefully. Ooh she's coming." Ben said quickly.

Miranda walked into the room carrying models of penises that they used for training, the boys eyes widened when she sat one
in front of each of them and Ben tried to cough his laugh away.

She then threw a box of condoms down as well.

She made them repeatedly put condoms on the models and list all the std's that they could get. Then persistently told them that she wasn't going to be a grandma.

After an hour of looking at gruesome photos of sexually transmitted diseases and the boys apologizing they were finally ready to go home.

Ben stopped at 7-Eleven and bought Oreos and ice cream. When they got home. They put Pru into her own bed and he made Miranda two milkshakes, so she could sleep comfortably.

"How do you feel?" Ben questioned kissing her head as she snuggled into his chest.

"Pretty good and tired. Sorry for waking you up."

"It's okay. I love these moments. The lessons. I love being a parent as much as I love being your husband."

Miranda poke her lips out and he leaned down and pecked them.

"I love our family and I love being your wife."
