*Dylan's pov*

[All of my siblings are at the cabin ; I go upstairs and hear someone moaning very quietly it's coming from Grant and Lexi's bedroom I take a shower and get dressed ; I can't find my hair straightener. I knock on Lexi's bathroom door and say:]

"Lex. Can I borrow your straightener?"[I open the door and see Lexi and Grant in the shower Lexi sees me and says:]

"Dylan what the hell are you doing in here?! Get out!"

"I just need to borrow your straightener."

"Take it and get out. I swear to God if you mention this to anyone then I will hurt you."

"Sorry."

[Dylan leaves Grant starts laughing I give him a look he coughs and says:]

"Just a cough."

"Yea that's what I thought."[I get out and wrap my towel around me. Grant asks:]

"Can you hand me a towel?"

"Nope."

"Babe!"

"Love you!"[I dry off and get dressed I'm pulling my jeans on they don't fit I throw them on the floor Grant comes out of the bathroom he asks:]

"What's wrong?"

"I'm fat."

"No you're not."

"Yes I am. I can't fit any of my pants. You married a fatty."

"Hey maybe your pants shrunk but you my dear are not fat. Come on say it with me. I am not fat."[Lexi stares at her legs and whispers I go over to her and tickle her she's begging me to stop I say:]"I'll stop when you say it."

"I'm not fat."

"What? I can't hear you."

"I'm not fat."

"That's not very convincing."[I tickle Lexi she laughs then yells:]

"I'm not fat!"

"No you're not."[I kiss Lexi we kiss slowly I stand up and get dressed Lexi says:]

"If we can't have anymore kids then would you consider adoption?"

"Yea."

"It's pretty expensive so I want to start saving money now."

"Okay."
