[ TWENTY-THREE ]

"Give me the baby!" Creed said, jumping up from the couch the second everyone walked back into the house. He needed to get to Taylor and Travis before Tammy. "My turn to cuddle her." Creed continued, taking the car seat from Travis's hands. All everyone could do was laugh as Creed walked over to the couch with the car seat. He sat down and took the baby from her car seat, cradling her in his arms. 

"That is the most attractive thing I have ever seen in my life," Kylie whispered to Taylor. 

"I fully endorse cheating, given the circumstances of the current situation," Taylor whispered back. Kylie let out a small giggle as they all spread across the living room. 

"How were the kids?" Selena asked Tammy, cuddling next to Chris, who just draped his arm over her shoulder. 

"Perfect little angels. They played, they ate, they got their baths and showers, and now they're all settled in the basement. Some sleeping, some watching something Sterling found that seems really educational," Tammy commented. 

"Sounds like Ster," Patrick laughed. "Probably something science related."

"I think it's one of those 'How It's Made' type shows. They all seemed pretty interested in it, so I let them do their thing and left them alone," Tammy shrugged.  

"Do you guys know that she has two different colored eyes?" Creed asked, looking up from smothering the baby in kisses. 

"Yes, we're aware," Taylor answered, laughing. "Khi calls them mommy and daddy eyes."

"She's such a smart girl," Creed said, looking back down at the baby, who was smiling up at him. "Look at you, smiling at your Uncle C. I love you so much, do you know that? Yep, I love you and your sisters and your cousins. We're such a happy family. You're so loved already, little mama." Creed told the baby, who just continued to smile up at him.

"Hey, you might not want to look like you're too turned on by C; your husband is still behind you," Brittany whispered to Kylie before walking into the kitchen.

"Huh?" Kylie said, snapping out of the slight trance she was in as she watched Creed with Kali. Jason had shown no interest in the little one since she was born a few months ago, and being with her for only a few hours, Creed was giving her all the love and attention she could ever want. 

"Grammy Tammy?? " Koa's little voice could be heard coming up the stairs from the basement, where all the kids had been. She appeared, and her eyes lit up, seeing that everyone was back. "Mommy," Koa said, walking over to Taylor. Taylor picked her up, and Koa cuddled into her immediately. 

"What's wrong, baby doll?" Taylor asked her. 

"It's really dark, and everyone is asleep, and I got scared," Koa replied. "Can I sleep with you and Daddy?"

"I could see that coming from a mile away," Travis said with a little laugh. 

"Sure, baby."

"Good thing y'all changed those sheets," Chris said.

"Chris!" Selena exclaimed, pushing him playfully. 

"Hey, our little one is very much asleep downstairs, don't start with me," Chris told her. 

"What if I want to?" Selena asked, flirtatiously. 

"I can't do to you what I want because you're pregnant, so that's a no."

"You're what?!" Creed asked, looking over at the two of them. "There's going to be another baby in the fam?!"

"How did you guys forget to tell C?" Brittany asked, shaking her head.
