>Yvonne's POV<

Peter was wanting that cabin, I could tell by his body language and how he smiled when he spoke of it. I started looking at the cabin online every little bit, and it began to grow on me. So after a week, we decided to buy the cabin, and Peter was jumping for joy, literally on the lot. So, when it comes to moving things, it was a complete nightmare; especially when you're seven-eight months pregnant. It took a month to move everything in, as we had conflicting schedules, and we were trying to figure things out with Liam's baby room. We had to order a We-Haul, and since it was a shortage, it had to take a few weeks. It's been very busy, but it has gotten my mind off of things. I have begun nesting now, and I've been bonding with Hunter a lot more here lately because of it. I place a small box in the baby room, we painted the walls a turquoise color, and Hunter's room is a heather grey with her bassinet, and Rats' cage is in our room for now. Peter has been producing extra videos on, you guessed it, parental hacks. He's been very protective over us, and it's very sweet. Lucy and her fosters have been coming over to help, and the two oldest have been shy but helpful. I hear my alarm going off, and I hear Hunter crying on the baby monitor. I shut off the monitor sleepily and roll over to stand up, but she stops crying? I waddle out and head to her room "Hunter? Baby?" I ask, I walk to the doorway and see Peter bouncing Hunter playfully "Whose my babygirl? You are! That's right, sweetie! Look, here's Mommy!" Peter exclaims, waving Hunter's left hand at me. I wave with my right hand and shake my head "I was just getting up to get her." I say "I figured that you could get some rest, you've been working so hard this last month. Rest while you can, because it won't be long until our boy is here." Peter says cutely. I giggle "What are you, super dad or something?" I ask "Eh, maybe. I absolutely love being a parent." He says as he presses Hunter against his cheek. I rub my belly "I can't wait until he is out though, he has been very active lately. Last night he drove me nuts." I say as Peter smiles "Maybe that's his way of telling you that he feels the same way. I'm sure he's getting crammed in there." He replies. I shrug "Well, I can go down and make breakfast, I suppose. That way you can get your videos done today." I say "Actually, something told me to take the day off. I'm staying here today." He says "Oh, alright. Is there anything you'd want to eat?" I ask "Eh, anything from you would be perfect, Darling...as long as it's not your cravings." He says with a grimace. I laugh  "Don't worry, I won't do that to you." I say as I turn and walk out. In the hallway there is five steps to go down, I walk down and head to the kitchen, where we have some things still needing to be plugged in. I grab an egg carton and set it down on the counter next to the stove before taking three eggs out and cracking them, I start feeling Liam kick, and I smile "Boy, you've been really hyper the last few days. What's up, ba-" I gasp out sharply, suddenly hearing the sound of a water bucket falling; the sound that is all too familiar. I lean back against the kitchen counter "Pe...Pe...BABE!!!" I scream out. I hear Peter rushing quickly to me "What is it?" "My water broke, the baby's coming." I say in a pained voice "Oh...WHAT?!?!" Peter screeches in alarm. "Okay, hold on. I'm coming." He says as he rushes to me "Peter, what about Hunter?" I ask "She's fine. I'll run back in and get 'er." He says quickly. He holds my sides and helps me walk out the door, trying to help me down the stairs nervously. I feel cramping in my abdomen, and I feel my nerves hit "Yvonne, you can do this, you did it in a shed." I think to myself. Peter helps me into the back of the van, he's a wreck; I can feel him shaking. I look at him. "Hunter." I say "R-right! I'm goin'!" He exclaims before taking off in a sprint. Within ten seconds he rushes back with Hunter in his arms. He quickly slams the back door and hops into the driver's side "Where is she?" "She's with me. Just take deep breaths, Yvonne. We'll be there!" Peter exclaims nervously. He pulls out like a maniac and starts driving quickly.
