'I ran across the sand, giggling as Alex followed behind me on a wild goose chase. In the water Harry and Hunter splashed at each other and a wave engulfed Hunter, sucking her up before she resurfaced, gasping but still laughing. Ahead I saw no one and behind, the same deserted feeling.

"Get back here. All I wanted was a big kiss." Alex whined. I looked back at his shaving cream covered face, sticking my tongue out. No way was I letting him get that on me. I tripped, slipping before landing on the sand. Alex gathered me up in his arms.

"Ew no don't please." I begged, shoving softly on his chest. I smiled widely and his eyes met mine.

He pushed a lock of my black waves out of my eyes and leaned in closer before his lips met mine. After a kiss that took way to long to be just a peck, he pulled away, leaving half the cream in my face. I threw my head back and laughed as he tightened his grip on me and pulled me closer.

"Thought you were going to shave?" I questioned before grabbing his chin and giving him a quick peck. He removed his shirt, wiping the cream off his face and then mine. My face was left with a tingly feeling enveloping it in cool air.

"Already did. Just wanted to do that." he replied then laid back in the sand, leaving me laying against his bare chest. I listened as his heart quietly thumping beneath me and began thinking to myself. Jordan was due any day now. I really needed to talk to Alex about trying for a baby. I wanted a family, I really did and I had hinted that but I don't think he understood the importance in it. How bad I just wanted to say we were a complete family.

"Alex?" I almost whispered into his skin and he released a long, heavy sigh.

"Yea?" He questioned in a hushed tone. I wrapped my arms around his neck before pulling myself up on top of him, straddling his waist. His hands rested on my hips and he looked up anxiously.

"Do you really want to try for a baby? I mean are really, truly ready for a kid?" I asked in a sincere nature. "No lying for my sake or anything of that nature. Your honest feelings."

"I really, truly do Liz. I want a baby, with you. I want to live in a house full of babies and have a dog. Maybe some goldfish if we don't have a replay of the last ones death." He made me blush.

"Not fifteen million babies. I want one. Can we just have one baby?" I pressured on. Hope grew in me as he nodded in response. One baby was enough to give me joy.'

"Lizzy you there? Are you on your way yet?" Jordan beaconed to me through the phone. She was stressed and it was giving my anxiety.

"Yea. Um sorry I was thinking of something. We're on our way. Should be back in Santa Monica in thirty minutes or less. As soon as we get off this freaking plane I'm kissing the pavement. I hate planes. And little kids that kick seats and are about to get smacked." I said the last part loudly so the brat behind me would keep his dirty little toes out of my back. I rubbed my face. My eyes were heavy and I kept dozing off. I felt Alex's hand touch the back of mine softly and he intertwined his in mine.

"You're stressed. I'm sorry I know you can sense stress. Don't have an anxiety attack. See you when you arrive. Love you. Bye." She hung up and I dropped the phone, twisting my toward Alex. He gave me a weak smiled and I laid my head against his shoulder.

"I'm so tired." I commented while yawning. The trip was amazing. Tiring but all in all I loved spending time with the people I love. Hunter and Harry were passed out to the left of us and it was cute. Me on the other hand, I couldn't catch a bit of sleep if it saved my life.

"I know. As soon as we get home you're going to bed. Don't argue either. You look terribly ill when sleep deprived." I sighed, dropping my head. I knew it was true. I was just so worried about Jordan and the baby. She was going to pop soon.

"The plane will be landing in five minutes. Stay seated until instructed to move. Thanks for choosing American Airlines. Have a nice day." I groaned. These ladies were way to cheery. Like calm down. It's a flight not a one of a kind cake that's only big enough for one special couple.

The plane landed safely, with my knuckles white as snow and wrapped around Alex's bicep so tightly I could've peeled the flesh off. Just as we stepped into the parking lot to catch a cab my phone alerted me.

"Hello?" I mumbled.

"Get here quickly! Jordan's in labor!" Andy frantically told me. I was in shock. Paralyzed in the middle of the roadway. Alex ushered me across, out of the way of idiot drivers and stared at me.

"WHAT?!?!" I screamed at him and my head fell back. I closed my eyes.

"She's having Carson. Hurry up." He hung up, leaving me standing in awe and I just wanted to pull my hair out.

"One hour of sleep. One whole hour. That's all I wanted. Merry freaking early Christmas to aunty Lizzy. You better make me proud Carson." I stormed to the cab, slipping in beside Alex. I earned glances of worry but I just leaned toward the driver.

"Andrea Hospital. Quickly."
