In Case You Didn't Know

Chapter Thirteen

Stacie smiled as she carried Kingsley into the house, Aubrey walking behind her with Lucas. All of the Bellas were waiting for them in the living room.

"Welcome home!" The girls cheered quietly.

"Thank you." Stacie said with a wide smile, she moved over to the couch and sat down. Putting the baby carrier down, she lowered the handle and carefully lifted Kingsley out.

Beca came into the room carrying Hazel and Grayson.

"Mama!" Hazel said excitedly, clapping her hands upon seeing Stacie.

Stacie smiled softly and looked up at her daughter. "Hi baby."

Grayson stared at his mother and then looked at the baby in her arms and the baby in Aubrey's arms. He frowned.

Shifting Kingsley, Stacie held her hand out for Hazel as Beca got closer.

Aubrey sat down beside Stacie, placing the carrier on the ground since she was already holding Lucas.

Hazel looked at the baby in her mother's arms with curiosity.

Grayson began to cry in Beca's arms.

Stacie instantly looked up at Grayson before looking toward Aubrey. "Can you take Kingsley?" She asked softly.

Aubrey moved to take Kingsley.

"Becs, let me see him." Stacie said softly, holding her free hand out for Grayson.

Beca held Grayson out to Stacie but the little boy squirmed and tried to go back to Beca.

Frowning softly, Stacie put her hand down as Grayson curled into Beca.

"I don't know what's up with him." Beca said, frowning as she looked at her son.

"It's the new babies." Henry said calmly as he entered the living room. "The boys did it too when we first brought Stacie home, and they were nine."

"He doesn't like them?" Beca asked, looking over at Henry.

Henry shook his head with a chuckle. "He's not sure what to think about them, all he knows is mommy was holding a baby that he's never seen before."

Beca looked down at her son then up at Henry. "How did Megan react when my parents brought me home?"

"She was excited, but grew upset when your mom would hold you." Henry explained softly.

"Really?" Beca asked. She found it hard to imagine her mother holding her and Megan screaming at the top of her lungs for her mother to put her down.

Henry nodded his head and chuckled softly. "Yes, she always wanted to be a big sister until she realised that mommy had to hold you a lot."

Kingsley woke up and released a soft cry, squirming in Aubrey's arms. Her crying instantly set Lucas off.

Grayson was still crying in Beca's arms.

Stacie bit her lip and looked at Aubrey. "That's her hungry cry." She said softly, looking down at Hazel who was wide eyed at seeing both babies crying.

Henry moved over to take Hazel from Stacie so that she could feed Kingsley.

"Thank you." Stacie said softly before turning to grab Kingsley, she placed a thin blanket over her daughter and lifted her shirt to help her daughter latch on.

Aubrey leaned over and kissed Stacie's cheek.

Closing her eyes, Stacie leaned into Aubrey's side. Being careful not to jostle their daughter.
