( Six months and three weeks later )

"MATT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST GIVE ME A BREAK!" Britt yelled and came into the kitchen were I was making pancakes. Zacky was leaning against the counter grinning at me, both of us had finally come to terms with their almost constant bickering. Britt was now five days over due and Matt wouldn't leave her alone for even a second. 

"It's been too long.. somethings wrong.." He was worried and it was making him insane. I gave Zacky a nod so he would leave. Britt needed a pep talk and Matt could use one too. Zacky left going in search of Steph who was probably playing Bingo with Jimmy. She just loved beating him most every time.

He followed her close behind rubbing his hands in his hair. "Matt.. don't you think I'm worried too? I'm trying my best." She huffed and sat down at the table, gently pushing it back to make room for her round belly.

"What's wrong with you two?" I asked knowing full well they were just scared first time parents. "You've been fighting for two days!" I clamped my mouth shut when they turned to me with glares.

Britt sighed.. "I'm sorry.. it's just he's being too protective. I mean I can't even take a walk alone." She reached for a banana and peeled it quickly.  

"I'm trying to take care of you!" Matt said sitting next to her gently rubbing her shoulders. She nodded taking a bite of banana. She leaned towards him letting him relax her tense muscles.

"It just feels like your.. smothering me." She said quietly. I put the rest of the pancakes on a plate and turned the pan off then walked to the table taking a seat across from Britt. 

"Listen Britt, it seems like Matt is constantly on your case but he just wants whats best for you and the baby. So just relax and let him help. Matt give Britt a little space, walking will only help her. If you have to, walk with her but if you don't let her relax she'll never calm down." I said taking Britt's hand.

They both nodded. "I guess I could let him help me but I still think it's too much." Britt said frowning.

"I'll give her space and try to relax myself and she'll be able to calm down."Matt said nodding frantically. Boy was he eager.. he really wanted Britt to be healthy and safe. 

"Good. Now go get everyone for breakfast." I said laughing and he left us alone to wake up Johnny, the girls and get the guys.

Jimmy's POV

"Jimmy. Want to play again?" Steph asked grinning as she claimed her victory cookie. Stacy didn't know but I snuck us a couple before breakfast. I felt like a master ninja having gotten passed her. 

"But you win every time Stephy!" I complained as she handed me half her cookie. I munched it sighing. She was grinning around her part of the cookie as I shook my head.

"Me let you win." She said shrugging. I laughed softly messing up her dark curls. She giggled falling back on the soft carpet with her eyes half closed as she rolled around hysterically. 

She sat up wiping crumbs from her pajama pants. "Really? You'll let me win this time?" I asked suspicion filling my words. She nodded piling her clear yellowish chips to the floor. "Okay. I love your princess bingo game."

"Thank you." She smiled and waited patiently for me to spin. "I Ariel." I said covering the little red haired mermaid, one of Steph's favorite princesses. 

She grinned covering hers and grabbed the spinner. "O Jasmin" She giggled covering the black haired princess. 

I pouted when I looked at my board. "I don't have her Stephy."
