Jerome's POV

---1 week later---

Lilac got home from the hospital a few days ago. Jenny was scared to death. But not as much as Mitch. I admit, I was a bit scared for the baby. Not as much as the others. Lilac got home. The baby just made it. She was almost gone but they saved her. It was a true miracle. But the baby's fine now.

"Lilac, how much longer do you have in your pregnancy?" Jenny asks Lilac.

"About...4 months? Is that right, Mitch?" Lilac says.

"I think 3 days. You're bubble's about to burst," I say, joking.

Lilac hits me and says,"Stop it!"

"You have 3 and half months," Mitch says.

"Geez...Jerome, was my belly ever this big in my pregnancy?" Jenny asks.

"Yeah. It was way bigger at the end of it," I say. She just glares at me.

"I think we should record now, while Jerome has some humor!" Jenny says.

"Do you guys hate each other or something?" Mitch says.

"No!" Jenny says. Her eyes get all glossy. I embrace her into my arms, and buries her face into my chest, taking deep breaths.

"Sh, it's ok," I say, rubbing her back.

"Ok, I'm good," she says, taking her face from my body.

---next day---

"Jerome! Guess what?!" Jenny says, bouncing the bed to wake me up.

"What?" I ask, confused.

"Get up!" she says.

"Whyyyyyyy?" I ask.

"Because I said soooooo," she mocks.

"Fine."

I slide out of bed and shower. I get all ready for the day.

"JEROME!!" Jenny screams when I get downstairs to join her for breakfast.

"Hm?" I say.

"Lily just talked!" she says.

"What did she say?!"

"Ffoooooodddd!"

"No...way..."

"What can I say, Jerome? The child is hungry."

"Get her food then!"

"Then she said,'moooorrreee' after I fed her a WHOLE banana!"

"Yeah. She takes after you. Eating a lot."

"Yeah. Go record. Make a vlog for the PAX east."

"What about PAX?" Mitch says, joining in with Lilac at his side.

"PAX is next week," I say.

"Next week! I can't go! I'm pregnant!" Lilac says. "It wouldn't be safe for the baby..."

"I'll stay with you," Jenny volunteers.

"Guess it's settled. Eat up, Biggums, we gotta record," I say.
