I lay on the bed beside Rikki, it's our last day in Georgia. I'm pretty happy though, I miss everyone too much. Rikki puts his hand on my stomach.

"So you can't drink?" He wonders.

"I can't drink." I agree.

"Can I drink?" He wonders again.

"Yes, honey." I smile.

"You can't smoke?" Rikki asks.

"I don't smoke to start with." I tell him and he nods. "Baby, you can still smoke."

I turn on my side so I can face him and put my feet on top of his. He moves his hand around my stomach. Rikki smiles at me before kissing my forehead. His eyes grow and he asks.

"Can we still have sex while you're knocked up?" He wonders and I laugh.

"I think so." I say and with his open hand Rikki plays with my hair.

"We have to make doctors appointments when we get back." He says quietly. "Are you gonna move back to LA?"

"Yeah but I just got my sister back, I'm not leaving her just yet." I admit and he nods.

"Wait this means you won't be able to play rugby." Rikki realizes and I nod. "You okay with that? Babe, it's your dream right?"

"Dreams change." I say quietly and I look down.

Rikki studies me and moves my hair away from my face. I smile up at him.

"I got you and the baby. I'm set." I smile and he sees through it all.

"You'll play again, baby." Rikki tells me and I shrug.

"If I do, cool. If not, I'm happy." I tell him.

I am happy, I love him like crazy and we're going to have a kid. I'm gonna get fat, yay.

"You still gonna love me when I'm fat and screaming at you?" I wonder and he laughs.

"Believe it or not, I am. I'm going to love you even when you're screaming at me in the delivery room. As for getting fat, I can't see that one happening. You're so small to start with." Rikki kisses my forehead.

I yawn and Rikki laughs.

"Rest baby." He says quietly. "I'm just gonna talk to the kid."

"What?" I wonder and he chuckles.

"I said, I'm going to talk to the kid." Rikki smiles, moving down the bed closer to my already exposed stomach. "Hiya Peanut, I'm your daddy. I help make you." I laugh and he smiles before shushing me. "I'm a drummer for this awesome band, Poison. Your mom is a completely badass rugby player." I laugh and cover my face. Rikki kisses my stomach. "I can't wait to see you, little one. Just don't screw your mom up too much down there."

"Rikki!" I complain, sitting up. Rikki laughs and kisses my lips.

"I love you." He tells me.

"I love you so much." I smile.

"Alyssa Keira Lynn Rockett, I love it." Rikki kisses my cheek. "You need rest, baby."

I lay down and he lays down beside me, wrapping me up tightly. My face stays in his neck, he smells good. Rikki's thumbs brush across the scar on my neck. I start to feel sleep take me and I wrap my arms a little tighter around my husband.

My husband.

I'm not quite sure how long I was asleep for when I'm woken up by the phone ringing. When Rikki moves to answer, I wake up and sit on the bed beside him. I move so I'm behind him and I put my legs in either side of him. I run my hands along his sides and kiss the back of my neck. When he hangs up the phone, he lays down on top of me. I laugh and he shoots back up.

"Shit! You're pregnant!" He says and I smile.

"Is this how it's going to be for the next nine months?" I wonder and he sighs.

"I've never done this before, babe." He lays down beside me.

"Neither have I." I push my head up on my elbow. "Who was on the phone?"

"Bret, CC fell out of a deer stand." Rikki says.

"Oh my god--" I start and he puts up his hands.

"They said not to rush home." He tells me.

"Okay." I say and I put my head on his chest.

I no more than close my eyes and the phone rings again. Rikki picks up the phone again, listens for a while, and hangs up.

"We're heading home." He says and I look at him confused.

"I thought you said they didn't want us to fly home." I say and Rikki stands between my knees.

"The band and Andy don't but your redneck cousins need us there. Ray shot an arrow through the palm of Clint's hand." Rikki kisses my forehead. "Besides, I miss everyone."

"Yeah, me to." I admit.

"And I think Andy needs you." He says.

We walk to CC's room, I've already checked in with the idiot cousins and Clint is fine. Bret and Bobby see us in the hall and walk over to us.

"What the hell are you doing back?" Bret wonders.

After being hugged tightly by both of them and explaining what the hell we were doing back. I open the door to CC's room while Rikki stays with his band. I knock on the door while I open it.

"Knock knock." I say gently and Andy looks up.

"I thought I told them--" I raise my hand to stop her.

"My cousins are idiots." I say and she half smiles. "Want to talk about it?"

"No."she says half heartedly.

"Try again." I smirk and she half smiles.

"Strawberry pie?" Andy wonders and I nod.

"Strawberry pie." I agree.
