Me and Lucas began walking out the door but Luz came running to us crying because she didn't want us to leave.

"I wanna go with you!" She cried.

I bent down. "I'll come get you during the weekend baby."

"No! I love wanna go now!" She cried.

"No baby not today, I'll pick you up after I get Priscilla & Gabby." I said.

She cried but nodded. She finally let us go out the door and we got in the car. We all headed towards our cars, leaving behind my mom and baby sister.

On Thursday night I got a call from Dari.

"Hey Kim, are you and Lucas busy Friday night?"

"Uh no, I just have to pick up the girls and my baby sister." I said.

"Oh yeah, you saw your mom right? How was that?"

"Good." I admitted. "I really needed that..."

"Good. I'm glad." He said. "Look my mom wants everyone to come Friday so get the girls and come over."

"Uh, I don't know... We'll be traveling with four kids." I said.

"Kim come on, it's no big deal." He said. "Just come please. Pretty sure everyone would like to meet your sister."

"Okay okay, we'll go." I said.

Two days later we picked up the girls and headed to the get together. My sister stayed by my side while Gabby & Priscilla ran around with Christian & Marcus.

"You don't wanna play?" I ask my sister.

She shook her head.

"Maria...?" Dari called to her. My sister looked up to her. "Wanna color?" She nodded. Dari went inside and shortly came back out with a coloring book and crayons. Luz took the crayons and color book, she opened the book to a random page and began to color.

My phone began to ring and I saw Lucas answer it.

"Yeah, we can watch him." Said Lucas. "Just drop him off at my moms." He said. He hung up & looked at me.

"We're going to watch Brandon while Leah and Jason have a date night." He said. I nodded.

I looked at Qin who was holding Aaliyah. She sat up laughing as Gabby made funny faces to her. Priscilla sat down on the ground with Hershey. She petted him as he had his tongue hanging out of his mouth.

The next morning me and Lucas woke up in a bed filled with three girls.

"Good morning." Lucas told me.

I smiled faintly. Lucas looked at me confused. "Kim? What's wrong?"

I sighed. "Well I was thinking maybe we could get house..."

Lucas laughed. "For what?"

"So we don't have to share a bed with three girls." I said.

"Kim, Luz, Gabby and Priscilla are here because they want to spend time with you. Even if it means we have to share a bed with them."

I sighed. "I know but don't you think this place is starting to get small? What if we just look for something a bit bigger."

"Kim," Lucas looked at me. " I don't think we can afford that right now. We're both going to school, and I'm the only who works."

"That's not fair. I go back to work in two weeks." I said.

"Babe I'm not trying to get you upset, but Aaliyah needs things. We're lucky my mom agreed to watch her while you work. It saves us from a babysitter and a nanny or daycare."

I sighed. "You're right. We should wait. Plus our lease is over next year and we have to plan our wedding. What was I thinking?"

"Thinking of the future kids." Lucas said while biting his lip.

"You want more?" I asked surprised.

"Well don't you?" He asked.

I nod. "I didn't think you were thinking of that."

He smiled. "I do. I also think about how beautiful your going to look on our wedding day. "

I smiled. "Which reminds me... We need to start thinking of a date."

He sighed. "Okay what about September?"

"Zach birthday in September."

"May?"

"Aaliyah was born in May." I said.

"December?" Lucas asked.

"That's too cold."

"What about June 6th?" Lucas asked me.

I looked at him. "That's the day you asked me out...."

"And the day I proposed." He said. "It's basically the day I always did something special." He laughed.

I rolled my eyes. Although he did have a good point. "Okay, I guess June 6th will be our forever date."

He smiled. "Wait if we do have anymore kids let's do them at least two years apart."

"So what? Right after our wedding we get to it?"

"We start making baby number two." He laughed. We felt Gabby move so we stayed still and didn't say a word.

"Aaliyah would be a year old then you know? So it's going to be hard when she's with us... If we take her..."

"Are we taking her?" Lucas asked. I shrugged.

"Should we get married through the church? My mom asked."

"Babe it's up to you." Lucas said. "I want this day to be all about you."

I sighed. "Well I should call Leah for lunch sometime this week and ask her if she wants to be my maid of honor. We can have Brandon escort the rings with Priscilla and Gabby."

"Luz and Aaliyah can be our flower girls." Lucas said.

I nodded.

"Who are you going to want to give you away?" Lucas asked.

I shrugged. "Maybe I can have Liam and Xavier do it... Or maybe just Xavier."

"We have time to figure everything out. But these girls are going to wake up hungry so we should get started on breakfast."
