I squealed, seeing the two lines on the test in front of me as I stood in the bathroom. For several months, John and I had been trying to have a child, and it was finally going to happen. I ran out of the bathroom and downstairs, "John, I need to tell you something," I spoke, trying to hide my excitement.
"Yeah?" He replied, pausing the game he was playing with his friends, "Of course, you can tell me anything, (Y/n)," he continued, walking over and pecking my lips. Now, I was unable to hide my excitement and I showed him the test, "It finally happened."
A smile grew on his face and he brought me into a hug, lifting me up in the air, "I'm so happy!"
"I am too, John. I am too," I responded, wrapping my arms around his neck as he put me back down.
"Going to tell us what's got you so chipper, John?" Alexander asked, gaining our attention. Due to John's still disbelief, and silence, I spoke up, "All I will say is that Philip and Angie are gonna have a new playmate in a few months."
The three of them worked out what I meant and came over, Alex and Laf giving me a hug, and Hercules giving John a pat on the back.
-------------------------------
I let out a giggle, holding the balloon, which contained the colour of confetti, revealing what gender mine and John's child would be, making sure no one could touch it before it was time. Then I felt a tap on my leg and I looked down to see Philip, looking up at me in his 4-year-old glory, "Auntie (Y/n). When is it time?"
"Right now," I replied, patting him on the head, "Would you like to do the honour, Philip?" I asked, resulting in a nod from the small boy and causing me to giggle. I managed to get everyone's attention, and lifted Philip up, giving him the pair of, not that sharp, scissors that he could use to pop the balloon, John standing on my side that I was holding the balloon in, an arm wrapped around my waist.
"Ready?" I asked Philip, who nodded in response, and I pulled the balloon closer to him, allowing him to poke it with the scissors, revealing the blue confetti.
"Does that mean it's a boy?" Philip questioned as I placed him down on the ground again, John picking up the balloon scraps. I nodded, "Yep, you're going to get to meet your new cousin in around 4 months, Philip."
He smiled and hugged me, "I'm going to be the best cousin ever!"
"I don't doubt that one bit, Philip" I replied, giggling as Eliza walked over, the two year old Angelica in her arms, sleeping on her shoulder, and her stomach almost the same size as mine, her and Alexander expecting their third child, "Congratulations, (Y/n). I know Philip's been wanting another boy to play with, Angie here doesn't really like playing with the same things Philip does, so he'll be happy about you and John having a boy."
"Oh really? That's reassuring to know," I replied as Angie reached out to me, "A-auntie!" Eliza looked down at Angelica, then to me, and back and forth, "Alexander! She speaks!" Within 10 seconds, Alex had run over, "W-what?"
"Angie said her first word."
"Really? What was it? Can you say it again?" Alex muttered, going to take Angie from Eliza's arms but she refused, turning to me, "Auntie!" Alex was left stunned as Angie wriggled out of her mothers arms and made her way over to me, "Auntie!" I smiled and bent down to pick her up, "Hello to you too, Angie."
----------------------
"(Y/n)!"
"Yeah, John? What is it?" I asked, leaving the kitchen, having just put a batch of cookies in the oven, "Did something happen?"
"I can't find Shelldon, have you seen him?" he responded, starting to turn the living room upside down in order to find the turtle. I shook my head, "I haven't. I've been in the kitchen, baking, remember, Love."
"Can you help me find him?"
"I need to feed Liam, then I'll help you find him, okay?"
John nodded and I pecked his lips, walking out of the living room and upstairs to the nursery, where Liam was asleep in his cot. Then my heart melted; inside the cot was Liam, but what had melted my heart was the fact that Shelldon was sitting on the pillow beside Liam's head, looking at him in a protective manner. I carefully took out my phone and took a picture, sending it to John, 'I found Shelldon...' Within a minute, John was by my side, looking at the sight too, a relieved look on his face. I let out a chuckle and picked Liam up, his (H/c) curls a mess, meaning he'd been wriggling around, "Heya, Buddy. Are you ready for some food?" Liam looked up at me and rubbed his eyes, nodding before falling back asleep on my shoulder. I then turned to John, "Please put Shelldon back in his tank, John. As cute as the sight is, we don't want to lose him again. Who knows how much of the house you'll turn upside down if he goes missing again. By the way, you have to put the living room back to normal."
"Of course, I'll put him back, then go and tidy the living room."
"This is why I love you," I replied, kissing him before leaving the room, Liam on my shoulder as I went to feed him.
