Seth and I stayed the next day to help out with Logan while Jackie was recuperating. She and Zach slept on and off and we would watch Logan and go to get them meals from the cafeteria.
"So, Zach and I wanted to know if you wanted to be the Logan's God mother. Nick will be Logan's God father, Zach and I decided we each get to pick one God parent."
"Of course Jackie, I'd love to," We sat in silence for a couple minutes, Seth and Zach had gone to get coffee's, "I have something to tell you. Seth already knows, keep that in mind."
"Oh, so he gets to know first now? I'm your number one!" She said jokingly and I grinned and pulled a picture out of my purse, showing her the sonogram.
"You're pregnant? With... Seth's baby?" I nodded and wrung my hands out nervously,
"Yes... It was about the first week of January. I went to see Jana first thing this morning and she gave me this... She said the due date is likely to be September 30th."
"Oh my gosh Charlie! Congratulations!" She squealed and jumped up to give me a very tight hug.
"Thanks," I said grinning, my hands were shaky but I was so excited to be having another baby.
"How did Seth take it?" She asked, looking over to check on Logan.
"Well... Really well. Did you want to see the video?"
"You recorded it?" I nodded and then she nodded before taking the phone from me. She watched and smiled,
"Wow, he took it extremely well... Wait is he crying?"
"Yes... He cried. I'm afraid he's going to get really over protective of me but Jana said there was no reason to worry. We've got a good health history and I don't have any heavy lifting or any health risks with the bakery. But if I'm going to be opening the new bakery I need to be careful to avoid inhaling any chemicals."
She nodded, "Seth is definitely going to be protective of you, through the whole pregnancy."
"I don't doubt it. But Zach was very protective of you when you were pregnant." After I mentioned Zach, he practically came in bouncing and gave me a huge bear hug, Seth was right behind pushing the stroller.
"Oh my god congratulations!" Zach exclaimed, picking me up and practically spinning me around. I can only imagine how excited he was when he found out Jackie was pregnant. Seth grinned once Zach put me down and wrapped his arm around me protectively.
"We're going to tell Mom and Dad tonight at dinner, Bobby and Susan are coming too so everyone will know by tomorrow. We're only keeping this in the family for the first few months okay?" Jackie and Zach nodded, before Jackie hugged me tightly,
"You two should head home now. We'll be home in a couple hours, I told Mom I'll let her know if we're feeling up to coming for dinner." I nodded and hugged her and Zach tightly before leaving with Seth. Seth held my hand tightly and tried his hardest to open every door for me and he even did all the lifting and carrying. By the time we got home I was a tad annoyed, I mean I was only seven weeks, not seven months and to the point I couldn't see my toes.
I called Mom once we got home and we discussed what we were going to do for dinner, since the weather was warmer than normal and it was almost ten degrees, we decided to have dinner outside so the house wouldn't be as cramped.
"Well I'll bring some desserts and some salad tonight, hopefully that will help out a little bit."
"Well Susan said she and Bobby would make dinner tonight. Oh! Jackie and Zach are going to stop by for some dinner as well, and Travis is going to bring his new girlfriend by!"
"Girlfriend?" I questioned, putting the phone between my shoulder and ear, cracking eggs into the brownie mixture.
"Apparently he's been 'seeing her' for a couple months and he went to make if official last week. I believe he told your Dad that if the business was expanding out here he had no reason not to make it official."
"Oh so she's local?"
"I'm not sure she's from Willowhurst, but she's defiantly from the county."
"Good for him. It's about time he found someone to settle down."
"Yes I agree baby. But we'll see you and Seth tonight, and of course our beautiful grand daughter."
"Okay see you soon." I hung up and Seth came downstairs only in his boxer shorts,
"Babe lets get a shower. Bailey's napping and with helping Jackie and Zach's baby we've barely had any time to ourselves."
I nodded in agreement and put the desserts in the oven. Then we walked upstairs, before undressing and turning on the water,
"We only have half an hour," I said and Seth nodded, checking the water temperature,
"That's fine."
*****
Around four we walked down to Mom and Dad's house, I was pushing Bailey's stroller and Seth was getting the puppy used to walking on a leash. We had a picnic basket in the stroller and I had a diaper bag on my shoulder. When we got down the hill we saw that even Aunt Margaret and Uncle Joe had joined us tonight. I was really glad that the family was all together tonight, I wanted everyone close to me to find out at the same time. I guess you could say Jackie and I have an unspoken truce to tell each other everything before anyone else finds out. Uncle Joe's tail gate was down and Dad's wireless sound system was playing country music, feel good summer music to get us in a better mood.
I saw Jackie's truck coming up the road and then I saw three other vehicles following her, and I immediately recognized Mr. Meyers car, Nick's car, and Hannah's beat up pick up not too far behind.
"Since it was nice out your mother decided to have a cook out at the last second." Dad said from his spot in front of the barbecue. He was cooking burgers and everyone parked near the house before walking over.
"I figured it would be good for Sam and Mathew to meet Simon, Tucker, and Jax since they'll be going to school together."
Bobby nodded, "Yeah, it was a great idea Mom. It's going to ease Sam's nerves when they start school on Monday."
Simon ran ahead of Hannah and Adam and hugged me tightly, before going over to play with Tucker and Jax, and Tucker called Sam and Mathew over to play with them. Everyone started eating and chatting, and I looked at Seth nervously. I had no idea how my family would take this or how they would react to me having Seth's baby.
Half way through the night everyone was finished eating and Bailey and Logan were being passed around the group slowly. Currently I was holding Logan, Jackie was on my right hand side and Seth was on my left hand side.
Everyone was sitting quietly, the kids were sitting in front of the fire and Seth squeezed my hand tightly, I guess as a way to let me know that this is my chance. Everyone I loved was sitting here in a circle and there would be no better time to tell everyone. I glanced at Jackie to make sure she was okay with me sharing my news (I didn't want to focus on me when her son was meeting the family for the first time).
She nodded at me and I took a shaky breath, "Hey guys?"
Everyone looked over and I smiled softly, "I have some news," Uncle Joe and Aunt Margaret smiled, thinking I was talking about the bakery. Oh boy were they going to get a shock, "I'm pregnant."
