"Hi babies!" I squealed seeing them run out of Gloria's door into my arms.

"Mommy! Look!" I gasped seeing Tavi open her mouth showing her missing front tooth.

"Oh my god!" I grabbed her chin. "Why didn't you tell me your tooth fell out babe?" I asked hugging her.

"It came out when I was eating an apple mommy!" She said rubbing my belly.

"Mom, look." I turned my head seeing Ej with a new haircut and a design in his head.

"Oh wow papa, that's nice. Who did it?" I asked surveying his head.

"Hey pretty mama!" I smiled seeing Gloria come out the house with Tyson and Elijah on her hips.

"Hey!" I said opening my arms for her.

She hugged me and then handed me the boys.

"They ate, watched their movie for the day, played in the backyard and drove me crazy." She said laughing lightly.

Ej walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her and laid his head on her stomach.

"You guys did all that with Glamma?" I asked excitedly to Tyson and Elijah.

Tyson grabbed my face and wiped his slobber on me.

"How's everything with the Twins?" She asked placing her hands on my belly.

"Good, I'm excited." I smiled looking down at my growing belly.

"I know you are," She laughed. "Twin girls? Wow."

"Mommy, da babies in dere?"

We both looked at Elijah.

"Woah, who been teaching you how to talk lil boy?" I laughed looking at him.

"Glamma." He smiled.

I looked over at her.

"All I've been doing is talking to him everyday," she shrugged. "That's the most He's said since he's been here."

She laughed.

"He's been dabbling here and there at home, but my baby said a full question? Wow!"

"So, hows everything coming along with the nursery?" She asked, we started walking towards the front door going inside.

"C'mon guys." I said to Tavi and Ej.

They followed behind me and closed the door.

"I actually have to talk to you about a few things," I said stepping closer to her. "In Private."

"Oh," she said catching my drift. "Okay." She laughed.

"Tavi, take your brother please." I said handing her Tyson. "Here, you take Elijah." I said handing Ej, Elijah.

We watched as they disappeared towards the back of her house.

"Come sit," She said walking towards the living room. I followed behind her and sat down on the couch not to far from her.

"So, let's talk hija." She said.

"I wanted you to know first," I said. "I haven't told Johnny yet."

She looked at me and pushed some hair behind her ear.

"Recently, I've been seeing someone."

Her ears perked up and her eyes got big.
