Dominic's POV.

I'm just staring at this little blue plus sign.

I look over at October and she's has tears running down her cheeks. I quickly wrap her up in my arms when I feel my own eyes filling up.

"I love you Dominic."

"I love you too October."

I move my hand placing it flat against her belly.

"And I love my little daughter in there."

"Dominic."

"What? It's gonna be a girl."

I hear foot steps coming up behind me.

"What's all the yelling about?"

I hand Jill the pregnancy tests.

"Oh my god! Is this real?"

"Yeah!"

I let October go and Jill wraps her arms around her.

"I'm going to be a grandma!?"

"Yes mom you're gonna be a grandma!"

I can now hear both of them crying.

"I'm so happy for you both."

She opens her arm.

"Come here Dominic."

The three of us are hugging in the bathroom when I hear tapping on the bathroom floor.

Blaze is all excited but he doesn't know why.

"Hey Blaze you're gonna have a little sister soon."

"He keeps saying it's a girl."

Jill just smiles.

"Ok well dinners done let's go feed my little jelly bean grandbaby."

We go downstairs and I'm in shock. It's been months and October finally is sitting at the dining room table.

"Baby?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you know where you are?"

"I do.

I'm done letting that control my life. Letting it control where I go in my own home."

"That's my girl."

I walk behind her chair and wrap my arms around her kissing the top of her head.

After dinner we were laying in bed. I haven't taken my hand off of her stomach. I can't help it.

"How crazy are you gonna get."

"What?"

"Dominic I know how you are with just me. So how crazy are you gonna get?"

I laugh. .

"Um probably about ten times worse."

She laughs.

"Good."

She moves to her side laying her head against my chest.

The next morning I woke up and October wasn't in bed. I go into the bathroom and she's sitting on the floor.
