"You're having boys!" The whole crowd yells. Our gender reveal party was supposed to be this morning but her friends wanted to postpone it, in all reality they just had a bigger plan. All of the audience cheers for us and I bring Reese up with me. The show is now officially over but I plan on sitting here with my love for a moment before I have to go do something else. A smirk appears on Reese's face while she turns to me. I give her shoulder a gentile shove the whole audience sits silently and watches. The kids all slowly pile next to us.

"Sound off," she speaks gently and in chronological order the kids go off saying their number, it's an easy way for her to keep track of them. Skylar is always with her mama so it doesn't matter although this time she's with Aaliyah who just left with me parents. Our poor baby girl was so restless and tired plus the loud noises annoyed her. "Where's CJ?" She looks panicked. Searching the space where they say she sees nothing nor do I. "Where's CJ," she grabs a piece of paper fanning herself with it. "Did it just get really hot in here?"

"Stay here ok baby, we'll go look." Jake sits with her watching her while I go off to find my son. Jaxon cuddles her but Angelina and the others are off to find CJ Angelina searches more than frantically and her small hands shake. She's ten years old she makes me feel old. I remember when we got her, she was just little, Reese was excited how badly she'd wanted another kid. I couldn't give her one but then I remember Angelina. She was gonna be our for a long time before and I went out and adopted her so I could give Reese a kid, just like she wanted.

"Daddy I can't find him," Angelina gives me a panicked look.

"We'll find him princess I promise." I kiss her head. In the back of my mind the constant thought nagging me, what if he's having a seizure or had a seizure. If something bad happens to that little boy I couldn't help but feel responsible.

"Daddy!" His voice squeals but I don't know from where. I can hear his crying so I follow that instead. I watch him get swept away by the crowd.

"Hey," I slip into the mix so they create a cushion of space around me. "Hi baby," I lift him into my arms. "You scared us!" I scold playfully but he's not in a very playful mood. "You're ok," I run my hands over his back kissing his cheek. "Sh, I've got you," I bounce gently bringing my four year old boy back to his mama.

"Goodness Camden James," she scolds gently I set him on the stage and he runs towards her burying himself in her shoulder. "Are you ok darling?" She hums and he sniffs.

"I'm sorry mama, I-I didn't mean to." He cries and she pouts.

"It's alright baby, as long as you're ok?" He nods and she sighs of relief. "You're not in trouble." She hums rocking him back and forth.

"CJ," Angelina gasps. "You scared me," she lifts him up and into the air. "Come on buddy, lets go find the others."

"Who was right?" She smirks a little and I roll my eyes. "I was right," she does a little victory dance and I chuckle. "Don't laugh at me," she pouts and I giggle mocking her dance.

"You're so cute," I pull her closer to me giving her lips repetitive kisses. "You're like pocket sized," I chuckle crouching down a little so I can reach her lips with more ease.

"Oh shut up," she rolls her eyes pushing me away. Her eyes are soft while she stares into my own. Only a smile on her lips, on her perfect pink lips. "I'm like this by choice you know," I never did understand her height everyone else in her family is so tall.

"Why?" I brush my hands over her hair helping her into the bed I shut the lights off and walk towards her both of our lamps are on leaving us with just enough light to see each other.

"I got really sick, when I was like ten or eleven, I had a brain tumour and I was having seizures, I couldn't walk on my own so Nathan carried me everywhere. The doctors told me that was only the first of many horrible episodes like that so I asked them to stunt my growth. I went through everything early because I wanted to make the other people's lives easier."

"Wow," I blink at her story. She has lots of them and it's sad I wish I knew all of these things. Sure I might carry her everywhere or act like she can't do things on her own but I'd stop doing little things that could bother her, I'd stop and start doing a lot of things.

"There's so much more you don't know," she giggles at my awe turning off her lamp and giving me a soft kiss. "Goodnight." She mumbles shutting her eyes.

"No way," I turn her lamp back on sitting her up making her giggle.

"Shawn I'm tired," she yawns. I wrap my arms around her and pout giving her the puppy dog eyes I know she can't resist.

"Alright," I nod sadly. "Goodnight, I guess." I reach for my lamp and she sighs.

"What else do you wanna know?" She raises her eyebrow and I giggle. Her height was something I've always been curious about but I've always wondered about her name and her last name and her family tree I've always wanted to meet all of her family, she knows most of mine.

"I wanna know about your name, your parents are French and English Greek, and you got an American boy's name?" She hits my shoulder making me chuckle.

"Can I tell you a secret?" She raises an eyebrow, I nod and she leans towards me. Her lips press against my neck. "It's not my real name," she mumbles.

"Than what is it?" I raise an eyebrow leaning forwards kissing her neck so she pulls away from mine.

"Ekatrina," she mumbles. "My family called me Kat, and when I started school I went by Reese." She explains while I continue to kiss her neck. She's got really smooth and soft skin and she has this beautiful smile and perfect teeth. The only thing that could possibly make her prettier would be if she wore less makeup. She just likes to cover up so much and I'm trying so hard to get it off of her but she won't budge. "Ekatrina Reese Renee Cameron Matthews,"

"Mendes baby girl," I whisper in her ear. "Mendes,"
