Chapter 30

"Mer, are you sure you want to come? You can stay here."

"No way! Our families are flying in today. I want to be there to welcome them."

"Alright. Let's get going then. Come on Brinley."

"No!"

"Ah our favorite word. We are going to get Grammy and Grandpa and Babushka and Dedushka."

"Yay!"

"I knew that would work" Maks said kissing Meryl and helped her stand. Their families were coming in today since Meryl was due any day now.

"Brinley, Uncle Clayton is coming in too!"

"Uncle Clay!"

"Her favorite uncle."

"To bad Charlie and Tanith can't make it in."

"She is too pregnant to travel."

"Yea, we'll just have to Skype them after our little Prince is born" Maks said and winked at her.

When they got into the car, they drove over to Val, Jenna and little Lennox's to pick them up. Val was driving Jenna and Lennox to the airport because Sasha and Larissa were going to stay with them. Cheryl, Paul, and Clayton are staying with Meryl, Maks, and Brinley.

"Brinley is asleep Maks."

"I know. I'll carry her in. You get out and go wait inside with Jenna and Lennox. Val and I will go park and we'll meet you inside."

"Ok..."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Meryl got out and walked inside and found Jenna sitting on a bench waiting.

"Hi Jenna. Hi Lennox."

"Hi. How are you feeling?"

"Big. Very big. But good."

"I can't wait to meet your little guy."

"I can't either! And to be able to say his name. It's so hard not to say it."

"You can say it. I won't tell anyone I know."

"Haha thanks but I really want to wait until he is born."

"Ah I was close."

Soon the boys showed up and waited with them. Brinley was still sound asleep. When they all caught a glance of Cheryl and Paul, whose flight landed first, Meryl got really excited. She stood up and greeted them. Soon after, Clayton arrived. He greeted everyone and then took the still sleeping Brinley from Maks. Sasha and Larissa were the last to arrive. Once everyone was there, Val and Maks went to get the cars. When the cars pulled up, they all gathered in the respective cars and went home.

Meryl woke up at 5am three days later to a contraction. It was short and didn't think much of it. They just kept coming though. At 6, she woke up Maks.

"Maks?"

"Mhmm?"

"I'm having contractions. For about an hour now."

"Why didn't you wake me?"

"Maks, that's not important. I think we need to start getting ready. The second baby usually comes faster than the first."

"Ok. You go get ready and I'll let your parents and Clayton know."

"Alright and call...oh..."
