"FP, FP wake up!" I screamed at FP as I shook him, trying to wake him. "Hmmm." He mumbled and rolled to face my side of the bed. "Open your eyes." I whispered and FP peaked one eye open, cautious of what was in front of him. FP could not believe what he was seeing. He sat straight up and rubbed his eyes.
"You...this better not be a joke." He looked up at me with disbelief. I shook my head letting tears fall down my cheek. "We're pregnant?" It came out in a whisper. I smiled and jumped into his lap hugging him with everything I had. "This is amazing." FP smiled and placed his hand on my belly. We have been trying for our third child for about four months. "It took us long enough. We worked very hard for this munchkin." FP sighed and wiped the fake sweat off his head.
"Oh really? You didn't enjoy it?" I raised her eyebrow. "Oh, very much." He kissed my cheek and stood up. "Are the boys awake?"
"Charles is at the table and Jacob is still getting dressed." I smiled and helped FP pick out his work clothes.
"I'm guessing that you want to tell them in a special way. So I'll keep my lips sealed." FP locked his lips an kissed me one last time before heading to work. I quickly got dressed and spent some time with the boys. "So, what do you guys have planned for today?" I asked out of curiosity. "I was going to hang out with the boys at the skatepark." Charles smiled and cleaned up his plate.
"Tell Jen I said hi." I smirked and kissed his cheek handing him his helmet. "And make sure she has one to if your going down the the river on your bicycles."
"Yes mam." He mumbled and left before I could say another word. "So jakey What are you doing today?" I ruffled his hair and sat down next to the two year old. "Spend time with you." He smiled and climbed onto my lap.
"Have you been missing mama?" I cooed and snuggled him close. I felt him nod into my chest and I started rocking back and forth, hoping for a early nap. "Baby?" Jacob lifted his head up and looked at me. "What baby?" I chuckled and brushed his hair out of his face.
"Daddy said baby." He nodded his head confirming what FP said. "There is a baby." I smiled back at the boy. "Where?" He looked around us. "In my tummy." I pointed to the slightest bump. He looked at me with wide eyes and back at my stomach.
"Baby?" He pointed and asked confused. "Yes, but we can't tell nana when she comes today ok." In placed my hand over my lips in hope that my two year old could keep a secret.
"Shhh." He smiled and mimicked my hand. "Good. Now let's feed you huh?" I chuckled and placed him in his seat.
"Nana is here!" I cheered as I finished dressing Jacob. "Nana!" He clapped his hands and toddled towards the door. "Hey little munchkin." She cooed and picked him up into her arms. I smiled and ran my hand over my stomach, remembering FP call this little one munchkin.
"How are you baby girl?" My mom asked sitting down. "I'm great." I smiled and joined to two. "FP?"
"He's great. We are both very great." I smiled trying to control my excitement. "Well that's good." She gave me a weird look, but dropped it.
"Baby." Jacob babbled plating with his toys. "Baby?" Nana asked and looked up at me. "There was a commercial on earlier and FP said baby." I sighed and she nodded. Thank god she bought it.
"I'm home!" Charles yelled walking into the house. "Hey trouble maker." My mom smirked and gave Charles a hug. "Hope I'm allowed in too?" FP questioned coming around the corner. "Aren't you supposed to be working?"
"Half day Mrs. Smith." FP kissed her cheek and quickly changed upstairs.
"How have you been?" He kissed my chalk and sat down beside me. "Good. No symptoms." I whispered and he nodded. "We have something to say." FP smiled and grabbed my hand. I glared over at him, but he was going for it.
"Alice, your mom is going I have a baby!" He smiled and my mom put my in a death gripping hug. "I hope it's a girl." She cried with excitement. "Well you better prey mom because all we seem to produce is boys." I chucked picking up Jacob.
"Baby." He smiled and patted my tummy. "He knew earlier didn't he?" My mom smirked and I blushed. "He heard FP yell it this morning, so when he asked I told him." I shrugged and kissed his cheek.
"I'm happy for you guys." Charles smiled, but I could see the cringe. "Anything else?"
"Just...please tell me you guys waited until I was out of the house." He cringed and my face became a tomato.
"They have been trying for a long time. It can take more than once Charles."
"I didn't need to know that!" He whined and slumped back into the couch. "I'm just so happy." My mom smiled and touched my ant hill of a bump.
~{9 months later}~
"Hello little baby." I smiled at my child for the first time ever. "Your gorgeous." FP smiled and kissed their head. "You ready to look?" I nodded and started unwrapping the blanket. "It's a...girl!" I screamed and she erupted into tears. "I'm sorry baby girl. I'm just so happy." I rocked her back and forth as I cried happy tears.
"We finally have our baby Elliana." He smiled and caressed the top of her head. "I guess my mom prayed really really hard." I chuckled. "I think she was praying for a girl before we started trying." FP laughed.
"Your right I was." She smiled and sat down beside me. "Want to hold her?"
"I would be honored." She smiled and held the sleeping child in her arms.
"One lucky saying will forever be her lucky saying." I smiled at the sight of my mom and the baby. "Why?" FP asked pushing hey hair back. "Because...third times the charm."
