Melissa

I was watching TV, playing with my wedding ring when Melinda started crying. I rushed up and made my way to the crib where she was upset her toy had moved out of her reach. "Awe, Mellie, it's okay" I said, moving the toy back to her. "Are you hungry?" She gurgled and giggled. "Okay, I'll grab you a bottle"

I went to the fridge where Caity stocked some bottles and I grabbed one, as I stood straight I felt a flutter on my stomach. Melinda began giggling again and I placed a hand on my stomach. "What the hell?"

I ignored it and fed Melinda, bouncing her as she ate. "Mel?" Chyler and Katie MG came in.

"Hey!" I cheered.

"Hey" Katie smiled. "Can I feed her?"

"Yea, here" she took Melinda from my arms and sat down. "Something weird happened"

"What?" Chyler asked.

"I felt a flutter on my stomach" I said.

"A flutter? Like butterflies?" Chyler asked.

"Yea" I said.

"Honey, that's the baby kicking!" She exclaimed. "Did you not watch Jane?"

"What?" I asked. I immediately put my hand on my stomach.

"The baby started kicking" Katie smiled.

"Holy..." I went wide eyed. "Hand me my phone"

Chyler gave me my phone and I called Stephen. "Hello?" He asked.

"The baby kicked" I said.

"What?!" He asked.

"The baby kicked" I stated.

"Holy shit" I could hear Willa and Katie asking what is wrong. "The baby kicked"

"Really?!" Willa exclaimed.

"We're just on our way back now, the party was boring, we'll pick up some food" Stephen said, "I'll be there soon"

"Okay" I said. We hung up and I stared at belly. "I don't want to cry, but I might"

"Awe" Chyler hugged me. "You're going to be amazing"
