it was one of those rare moments where jane was actually misbehaving. she had so much sass and back talk that even vinnie didnt think it was cute. but he refused to scream at his daughter. especially because janelle was a really good kid.

"jane, talk to me, whats making you upset?" he said while jane was face planted on the floor whining and about to cry, not letting maria attempt to do her hair.

"im the boss." she said crying.

"baby, sorry to burst your bubble but absolutely not. get up." laughed vinnie. "whats up? whats bothering you?" he asked sitting her on his lap.

"i dont want mommy to have a girl." she said to vinnie, vinnie was pretty schocked.

"why not? you dont want someone to play barbies with? and princesses? and then you have someone to do nails on! and you cant stress, we dont know what your sibling is yet."

"no. only i can do that."

"aw. youre so my daughter." he chuckled knowing he was also a jealous person, especially with elle. maria chuckled. "you know youre always gonna be my baby? even if two more babies came and they were girls, youd still be my baby. you were my first true selfless love."

"what about mommy?" she asked playing with his necklaces.

"honey, ill never love absolutely anyone the way i love your mom. your mom completes me, i love you so much because youre a little piece of your mom.  but its a different kind of love. ive never loved someone the way i love you. and i never will—boy or girl."

"youll love me the most?"

"not necessarily, ill love you all equally but youll all be loved in different ways depending on your personalities. boy or girl youre going to be a great older sister, youre very smart and kind. imagine if hera said she didnt want you because shed get less attention."

"shes not getting less attention, shes getting fatter."

"hey, we dont talk shit about daddys cat." laughed vinnie picking her up.

"our cat."

"exactly. so will you still be upset?"

"no." she said wiping her tears. "im sorry."

"its okay. let grandma do your hair, were going to leave in like an hour."

"come here pretty girl." said maria as vinnie walked up the stairs to elles room.

"hi beautiful." he said wrapping his arms around her as she did her makeupz

whered the time go? it completely flew. needless to say, just like with jane, elle had the worst first trimester ever. it was continuous days of getting horrifically sick. the second trimester was a bit better but elle being elle, wasnt going to fall behind on work, so her whole second trimester consisting of three things : working, working on her relationship with vinnie, and working out a schedule to balance everything. and yes, vinnie and elle were back on track.

vinnie and elle lived in between her house and his. but it was evident that they were in love and not going anywhere. even the public eye knew it. and vinnie brought up elle in all he did, in an interview he was asked what elle was to him and he said "the love of my life" because he didn't really ever ask her to be his girlfriend once they were back on track. if anyone asked, they were together.

it was extreme baby steps, because they didnt want to mess anything up. today they were doing a gender reveal, alongside a baby shower.

"hi." she smiled.

"you look amazing everyday, but today, i think youve never looked better."

"really?" she said smiling at him.

"really." he said putting his hand on her stomach.

"what do you think it is?" she asked continuing her makeup.

"i dont know. i want either."

"i know you want another girl." laughed elle.

"but id be just as happy with a boy. maybe the third can be a boy."

"you want a third?" she gasped.

"i want a fourth."

"youre crazy."

"you dont want more after this one?"

"probably. are we family planning?"

"i guess. id say when this one turns two."

"were on the same page. but we would need a bigger house."

"and to live together."

"oh were going there.." smirked elle.

"ive been telling you, we could live together and raise the babies all together."

"but is this a like : were a couple or we have kids? are we living together because were in love or is it an arrangement?"

"im in love with you. you know that. if you werent doing your makeup id tell you so much elle, but i dont want you to cry." he said grabbing elle's hand. "you dont have to say it if youre not ready."

"you know im in love with you."

"thank you lord." he laughed bringing elle into a hug. "about fucking time."

"shut up! you know i love you."

"let me have my moment."

"janelle hacker, you look like a movie star!" said kouvr seeing the little girl for the first time in a while.

"thank you very much."

"are you nervous?" asked alex and jane nodded. "why?"

"because i dont know what i want it to be." she shrugged. "i dont want my mommy to be shared."

"youre a mommys girl?" said kouvr picking jane up.

"dont tell my daddy."

"youre daddy says your a daddys girl." said jett.

"i love them equally but in different ways. my daddy told me that today." giggled jane.

"it sucks that theres no kids your age to play right?" said kouvr.

"jack is somewhere around here." laughed vinnie. "you have fun babygirl?"

"yea." nodded jane eating a piece of cotton candy.

"were going to reveal if its a boy or a girl soon. come." he said grabbing jane from kouvr.

"daddy are you nervous?"

"why would i be nervous?" he chuckled giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"you told me you were giving mommy a big present?"

"im not nervous. ive never been more sure of any present in my life. you remember what we practiced?"

jane nodded.
