The next morning was not eventful as the previous days, I woke up with my head on Derek's shoulder as soft snores came out of his mouth. I felt a smirk pulling at the edges of my lips before ducking my head down and lightly kissing his cheek, making him twist and turn.

"Wake up," I whispered in his ear, and he just opened his eyes to look at me before stunning me by kissing me lightly. I sighed when he put his forehead against mine and I felt a little smile on my face.

"Morning baby," He whispered and I heard Les screaming making me sigh. I pulled the blanket off of my body and walked through to see Les screaming at Maddie for stealing her stuff. 

"Les, be nice to your little sister." I said, as I pulled Maddie into a hug once I saw her crying. "Shh, Mads," I whispered. 

"I'm sorry Maddie," Whispered Les and I moved away to let Les hug her little sister, in which she picked her up and hugged her tight. I awed at the sight because these two were just too cute. Derek came through, half naked still and put his hand on my shoulder. I'm still kneeling on the floor. 

I was now in my second trimester, so I have 3 months till my babies are born. Les and Maddie knew that I was pregnant. The phone rang and Morgan went to answer it and both of the girls looked at me. Les being 13 was in high school and Maddie being 5 she was in primary school. So Les walks Maddie to school.

"I'll see you when we get home auntie" Les said and I kissed her head lightly and then leaned down to Maddie and kissing her forehead. 

"Be safe," I said to them and they both nodded.

"Grace!" Shouted Morgan and I looked up to see Derek coming through, "It's JJ." He said handing me the phone and I mouthed I love you too Les and Maddie. They nodded before heading out and I mouthed too Derek to go get a shower.

"Hey Jen," I said.

"Hey G, Can we come over?" JJ asked me and I felt a slight smile tug at the edge of my lips. I sat down on my couch.

"Of course, you don't have to ask." I said. I heard her chuckle.

"See you in 10," I heard her say and I let out a chuckle before ending the call as Derek entered the room and sat down and wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me into a hug. 

"JJ's coming over," I said to him and I felt him groan against me.

"I wanted you to myself today," He groaned and I slapped him on the arm. 

"Derek, Don't be mean." I said, and he rubbed his hand over his arm where I had slapped him. I narrowed my eyes at him, he just put his hands up in surrender. 

"I love you babygirl," He said and I rolled my eyes before getting up, but he wrapped his arms around my body pulling me back against him. "I do," He whispered against my ear. I grumbled some incoherent words because I can't stay mad at him even if I try.

A knock on the door interrupted the moment and I pushed Derek off of me and ran to the door opening it to find JJ, Henry and Will standing there. "JJ!" I screamed before wrapping my arms around here.

"Hey there pregnant mama, How you doing?" She asked hugging me back. I chuckled lightly before pulling away, I smiled lightly at her before I saw her look down at my ring finger. "Oh, My God!" She screamed before hugging me again. 

"Derek Fucking Morgan proposed to you!" She screamed right in my ear making me wince. Once she pulled back I rubbed my now sore ear. 

"JJ, do you want to be my bridesmaid?" I asked her and I saw a small smile on her face before she nodded and I felt little arms wrap around my thighs. I looked down to see Henry, and I leaned down to kiss his forehead. 

"Hey Henry," I said brushing a long blonde hair away from his face, he's such a cutie. Henry just giggled lightly, and I smiled before picking him up. I saw JJ smiling before coming in and Will smiled warmly at me before also coming in

"You proposed!?" Asked JJ in a loud voice and I chuckled a little as I tickled Henry's side and Henry giggled as he moved around in my arms. He finally started to calm down and he put his head down on my shoulder. He fell asleep against my shoulder and I walked into the sitting room and JJ looked over at me. 

I saw a small smile on everyone's lips as I sat down with Henry asleep against me in my lap.
