Recap
Erika and Jake wake up and Jake weighs Erika and gets ready for the day while she gets breakfast made, when they sit down and begin to eat Jake says that they should start trying for a baby again, and Erika tells him that she's pregnant, Jake freaks out and is very excited

1 Week Later
Erika's POV
It's been a week since I told Jake that I was pregnant, he's so excited, but he's also being even more overprotective, which is saying a lot, he has me eating 5 times a day, he makes me take 3 naps a day, and makes sure I take all my prenatal pills which I hate, the morning sickness hasn't kicked in but it will in the next few days, which I'm not looking forward too, right now I'm taking my second "nap" of the day, Jake's cooking lunch and then we're going to the doctors to check on me and the baby, we haven't told anyone we're pregnant except Tessa, because we want to make sure there's no possibility of losing the baby again before we tell people , I wonder what Jake's cooking I should go see

Jake's POV
Today Mikey and I are going to the doctor to make sure her and the baby are doing good, ever since she told me she's pregnant I have been so much more over protective, making sure she eats enough, making sure she's taking naps throughout the day, I don't want anything to happen to her or the baby again so I'm doing everything I can, the morning sickness hasn't kicked in yet, but Mikey says it will, right now I'm cooking lunch, then I'm going to go pick up the crew from the airport, I really miss Dani, and the rest of Team 10 but it's been nice not having them around for a couple weeks, anyways right now it's 3 the crews plane lands at 5, and Mikey's appointment is at 4, so I guess Mikey's coming with me to pick the crew up, I heard little soft footsteps coming up behind me and I knew it was Mikey
J- Hey baby why aren't you in bed?
E- Because I wanted to know what you're cooking, and I'm not a 3 year old who needs a nap every hour
J- *sighs* ok just because i love you
E- *giggles* I love you too

DR- Alright well that sounds really great, keep doing what your doing, anyways you guys ready for the ultrasound?

E- That's our baby bubba *smiles and wipes away her tears*
J- I can't believe it, that's our baby, we are gonna be parents
E- *pulls him into a kiss* I love you
J- I love you too *kisses her again*
DR- Well congrats to you guys and the baby looks healthy, all I'm going to tell you is that Erika needs to keep gaining weight, and stay as stress free as possible, and y'all can come see me again in about a month, Nurse Jackie out front will help you schedule an appointment

3 Hours later
Erika's POV
It's about 9 now, and we are all sitting out by the fire just talking and having a good time, Dani is asleep on me and I'm struggling to stay awake, I've been getting so much more tired lately I think the pregnancy is really starting to take effect, I think Jake noticed how I'm barely staying awake because he stood up picked up Dani and said goodnight to everyone, then he grabbed my hand and helped me up, we walked to Dani's room, put her in bed and each gave her a kiss on the forehead, then he picked me up and carried me upstairs, talk about hubby goals amirite, we got to our room and Jake walked into the bathroom, set me on the counter, and grabbed my pills, a water, and he handed me them, I looked at him with a pouty look and he laughed
J- Come on baby, just take them, don't think about it
E- Ugh fine *takes the pills and drinks the water* ewww
J- whatever silly, what do you want to wear for pj's?
E- Sweatshirt?
J- ok, let me go grab one *runs to the closet and grabs one of his sweatshirts and walks back to Erika, she changes into the sweatshirt and Jake takes off his shirt, They walk to bed and get in, when Erika lays down, Jake lays by her stomach and starts talking to it, Erika starts recording*
J- Hi little baby, it's me your Dad here, today was a really good day, me and your mom heard your little heart beating, We are so excited for you to come into this world, we've wanted this for a long time, I just thought that I would tell you how much me and your mom love you, and that we will try to be the best parents we can be, anyway you need to get some sleep, so goodnight little baby, daddy loves you *kisses Erika's belly and sits back up so Erika can snuggle up to his chest, she kisses him and lays her head on his chest*
E- *sighs*
J- What's wrong babygirl?
E- I don't really know, like I'm so happy that we're going to be parents again, but thinking about it makes me miss my mom and dad, Like when I found out I was pregnant, I got my phone out and called my mom, but she then I realized she isn't here anymore, and it's still just so hard to accept
J- Mikey, Look at me, Your parent are still here, they always will be, they are always and forever watching over you, and I know it's hard to accept, I get it, I still don't accept the fact that my step-dad is gone too, but you have to remember that even though you can't see them, they are here, they will always be here, and so will I, I promised them I would, I know What happened to them is sad, but don't be sad over remembering them, be happy that they're still with you, and remember that they'll never leave
E- *a single tear falls from her eye* Thank you
J- It's my job to make you feel better isn't it? *smiles and wipes away her tear and kisses her*
E - *smuggles back up to his chest* I love you so much Jake good night
J- I love you too Mikey, sweet dreams *Erika falls asleep first and Jake does soon after*
