One year later

Bella "Daddy?"

Spencer wakes up with her daughter poking her cheek. She tiredly sits up in bed and looks at her.

Spencer "What's wrong Babygirl?"

Bella "I had a bad dream."

Spencer turns on the lamp beside her and notices the tears streaming down her daughters face. She smiled sadly and picks Bella up, placing her in the space between her and her wife. The movement wakes up Aria and she turns over, looking at her wife and daughter.

Aria "What's wrong?"

Spencer "She had a bad dream."

     Bella cuddles into her mother's chest and tries to fall asleep. Spencer gets back into bed and reaches an arm over her daughter, resting her hand on Aria's belly, where their unborn son has been housed for the past seven months.

     Footsteps step into the room and approach the bed. Someone crawls into bed and lays down the with them. Spencer opens one eye and sees her eight year old daughter Ava laying beside her. She smiles and closes her eye, going to sleep with her wife and kids.

     Aria opens her eyes in the morning. She looks at the mess of people on the bed and smiles. Bella is still asleep while laying her head on Aria's belly, Ava is cuddling up to her father and Spencer has her arm draped over everyone while her hand rests on her wife's waist. Aria slowly climbs out of bed and goes first to the bathroom, then downstairs for breakfast.

She cooks cinnamon bun waffles for the family and sets their plates. The kids run down the stairs with Spencer behind them as they smell breakfast.

Bella "Cinna buns!"

Ava "Waffles!"

     The family gathered around the table and dug into their food, making jokes and enjoying their time together as a family of four that would soon turn into five.
