Three years later, in May 2003:

Jordan and Stephanie's daughter was born on May 10, 2000, she was beautiful, and she has darker greyish color eyes and light hair like strawberry blonde. She was born one week before Jordan's birthday. 

He fell in love instantly, she just turned three, and they are expecting a son any day now. He is due on Stephanie's birthday.

She joined him in 2001 at a concert in Sacramento, California. They brought their daughter Natalie Michelle who was named after Jordan and Stephanie's middle names. 

Their son is going to be named Jordan Stefan Knight Jordan didn't want to make him a junior, so we decided to make him a name with each of our first names. 

To see Jordan as a father is nothing short of amazing. He is great with his daughter; she had him wrapped around her finger from her first cry in the delivery room. 

We have built a good life, and Jordan is being really good with the tours he hasn't toured since Michelle was born.    

He has been working on an album of singing the New Kids on the Block hits, and it is supposed to be released early next year. 

He has been a good husband and has discussed everything with me before he did anything. He brought up the idea of an album of the Band's hit songs with different remix versions, so that's why it's taking so long to record. He is even going to do an acapella version. 

We have had a few arguments but nothing bad. He still can't understand why I kept my apartment in New York instead of selling it. We had a disagreement over that. I rented it out to Cassie and Brianna when we moved back here.

It's the first and only thing I have bought besides my car that's mine earned from hard work, and to just sell it didn't feel right. 

Anytime Michelle gets in trouble, she runs to her daddy. I am the bad parent while he spoils her rotten. We have had some arguments about him actually disciplining her rather than spoiling her. So, we are learning that marriage and parenting are hard work. 

Our life isn't perfect; we have disagreements and arguments, which consist of one of us walking away and calming down before we finally sit down and talk. 

Don't get me wrong, I love Jordan so much, but damn, he can drive me crazy. He can still drive me crazy with just one smirk and those sexy dimples. Our life isn't all about making love, but it's still as great or better than ever.

Last week Michelle was down for her nap, and we snuck off to the bedroom and were making love when she comes into our room. She then proceeds to ask why Daddy was on top of mommy. 

He replied that Mommy needed Daddy's help and asked her to go to the playroom, and Daddy will be right down to play with you. Which he sped up our release and then ran downstairs while I showered, and then I went down with her while he showered.

She is at her inquisitive age, where she questions everything, including our sounds and why does Daddy kiss Mommy on the mouth. She told us while the family was here last week that Mommy is always yelling at Daddy. Oh god, Jordan over and over.

Jordan tried to place his hand over her mouth before she could finish but wasn't quick enough, and everybody busted out laughing. We were so embarrassed. Marlene simply told us we needed to remember we have ears and eyes that see and hear everything. 

Jon aggravating us, said now we can see why Steph is always pregnant. I threw a pillow at him, and everyone laughed. 

Now, we are about to have two kids in the house telling all our dirty little secrets. I rub my belly as I think about our son; I hope he looks just like his daddy.
