Tessa's POV


"Congratulations Ms Aniston," Doctor Hart--my Obstetrician-- told me, "you are 10 weeks along and your baby is forming just fine," 
"That's amazing news, thank you so much Doctor Hart," I smile happily, inching myself to sit up. Leo grabs my hand and squeezes it. "My little monster is gonna be here before we know it."

"We can have a look at your baby through a scan if you'd like," Hart speaks up, and I nod eagerly, "yes please."

She took us to another room and had me lay down whilst she worked her magic. And before I knew it, I could see my little angel through the screen.

I could see miniature legs and arms, and a tiny round head squirming around inside me. That's my baby.
I immediately fell in love. I never expected nor wanted to end up pregnant at 17, but after seeing my child, I realised it wouldn't be so bad after all. 

"Perfect," Leo mumbles, staring at the scan in awe. Almost like he can't get enough, or has also fallen in love. "That's our baby Leo," I say in shock, my eyes welling with tears of joy. 

I couldn't be more content with life.

-----------

The past 3 weeks have went by slow. Nothing has happened and I fear something will soon. We know Leonardo is lurking around Arcadia, but we don't know when he's going to strike. I fear for the well-being of my baby.

"I was thinking to invite the others over today," Leo speaks up, putting on his jeans, "You know, maybe have a barbecue and pool party," he elaborates. "Yeah, that'd be nice," I told him, "grocery store run?" I propose, and he shakes his head immediately. 

"Definitely fucking not," He states, leaving no room for arguments. "I'm not gonna have you spend my money on cat food again, I'll call the others and tell them to stop by on the way," He pulls out his phone, presses a few buttons, then puts it to his ear.

"Rudeeee," I sing, walking out of his room and into mine. What bathing suit should I wear?
My baby bump hasn't shown yet, I still have a few weeks before that happens, so I can wear whatever I want.

Searching through my walk-in closet, I walk down to the end where my bikinis are neatly tucked behind a drawer. 
I flick away a few, too revealing, I look like a middle-aged mother, why'd I get a mustard yellow swimsuit?

Then I reach the bottom, where I find the perfect bikini.

I feel like the skirt adds an extra touch to it all.
Walking towards to my mirror, I spin around and watch the skirt frill high, making me smile. I glance at myself one more time, my brunette waves flowing down my back, my hazel eyes standing out, and my fair brown skin glowing.

The pregnancy glow.

Heading out of my room, I walk down the hall, and into Amiyah's room.
She's been at Carter's house a frequently lately, we never knew he had a little sister, not even Leo.

"Hey missy," I sing happily, as she looks up from her drawing pad. A little smile forms on her face, "hey Tessy."
For the first time, Instead of me opening my arms, she does. I hesitate for a little while, completely in shock, before I walk over to her little desk and wrap my arms around her.

"We have a pool party soon, wanna check if Ada's coming with Carter?" I raise a brow, knowing her answer. She shoots up from her little chair, facing her walk-in closet. "Ask Leo, please!" Before racing into her closet, looking for a swimsuit. 

I chuckle to myself as I walk out, letting her pick out her own clothes. "Is Ada coming with Carter?" I speak up, watching him take his shirt off. I tried to keep my eyes on his, but they soon drifted down onto his golden, ripped abs.

"Would you like me to pose for you amore?" I'm met with his smirk, as red flushes my cheeks. "Maybe next time," I wink playfully, "now answer, is she coming or not?" I remind him, walking over to him. I trace a finger up his chest, as his breath hitches under my touch.

"Not a big boy now, are we?" I taunt, wrapping my arms around his neck as I peck his lips, well try to.
He leans in harder, and before I knew it, we were rushing to taste each other. His tongue licked my lips, and I opened my mouth slightly. He darted his tongue in and we moved together. 

His hands snake around my waist, reaching down to my ass and grabbing it harshly. A moan slipped out and I could feel his smirk against my lips. One hand inched upwards, and he grabbed ahold of my neck. 
"Don't start something you wont finish amore," He growled, pulling away from me.

I rolled my eyes playfully, "yeah whatever," turning around and heading out. I felt a harsh sting on my ass, and I whipped around to Leo who's still smirking.
"Lightly Leo, your slaps fucking hurt," I complained, rubbing the stinging area. "I don't do light baby," He winked, picking up his phone from his bed.

"How's my little bean?" Bri cooed, bending down to my belly and rubbing it in circles, causing me to chuckle. "A pain in my ass, but better than ever," I smiled, watching my best friend and my child.  "Keep going little one, she's been giving me headaches every damn time with those mood swings," She told my baby, looking up at me and winking. I smacked my lips together and she stood up. "I'm going to hop in the pool," She took a quick glance behind us, "wanna come in?" 

"Yes please, the suns beaming down on my ass," I joked, getting up from my seat as she chuckles lightly. She grabbed my hand in hers and raced off to the other end of the pool. The deep end.

Bri and I would always go straight to the deep end. For 2 years, we took swimming lessons, and we loved it. But over time, we lost our passion. She moved to volleyball, and I was playing netball, though we missed out on this years trials because we might've skipped school that day...

She sat down near the edge, and slipped into the pool with ease, while I followed her moves. "Race you to the end?" she offered, raising a brow. An unknowing grin arose to my face, "you're on."

After yelling at the boys to move away, we took out starting positions. And somehow, Carter managed to find a whistle. 
"Once you hear this whistle," he waves the whistle around in the air, "you may begin," Bri and I looked at each other, before nodding our heads.

Before I knew it, he blew the whistle and we were off. I dived underwater, easing into a breath stroke, while Bri did the butterfly. 
We were really good swimmers, I don't know how we lost our passion.

I heard the boys mumbled cheering, and multiple splashes all around. But the splashes that came from my left, grew softer and softer.
I'm ahead.

We reached the end, and I dipped my head straight out of the water, seeing Bri half a second behind me. 
"Fuck, I almost had it," She threw her fists down against the water, forming a big splash. "What can I say, we're a team," I rubbed my belly, a wide smile on my face.

The boys swam over to us, Leo coming straight over to me. "Good job little monster," He placed his hands over mine, feeling for our baby together.

My little family.
