I bet you're probably hating me right now for the lateness, I'm so sorry, but here you go, hope you enjoy it. Remember to vote & comment

—Susan, Robert! Long time no see -I go hug them both with a wide smile-

—Gabbie, look at you! Looking incredibly beautiful, you're so huge now -Susan compliments me-

—Thank you -I say giggly- and yeah, she's growing so fast -I caress my bump-

—We were nearby and I told Susan to come here -Robert speaks- I hope you're not on your way out

—Oh no, we were just chilling... And look at these beauties!

—They're so big now -Chris adds whilst looking at Avril and Exton, Susan and Robert's children-

Both of them were asleep, Avril is on a stroller while Exton is on his dad's arms.

—There's a guests room here, come lay them down -I suggest them while walking towards the bedroom near the living room-

—Oh, yeah, I don't know how a 7 year old boy can be so heavy -Robert sighs making us laugh-

They lay their children down on the bedroom and I look at them, eager, wanting for them to wake up so I can properly meet them. If there's something about me is that I really love children.

—Do you want anything? A coffee, tea, beer, water? -I politely ask them-

—I'm good -Robert says sitting down on the couch next to Chris, patting his back- big boy, how do you feel now that your daughter's delivery's so soon?

—Can I get that coffee? -Susan giggles and I smile back-

—Of course

We walk to the kitchen, leaving the two men alone. I start to prepare the coffee while talking to Susan about parenthood

—I'm excited yet so nervous -I say- I don't know if I'll do it right—plus, I'm also terrified with the birth, how unbearable the pain is? -I ask scrunching my face-

—We don't know for sure if we're doing it right, look at me, I have two children and I don't have a clue of what I'm doing, I just try to mould them into nice persons -she shrugs, I smirk amusingly- but at the end of the day, all of your worries fade away when they call you mom, or when they smile...

—Right now I feel like our daughter became the centre of attention of everything, every conversation we have, every laugh, everything. I'm counting down the days, I want to do everything the nicest way possible. Chris' sister is also having a baby, we're a couple of months apart, my mom's busy with work, I don't know how to properly handle a newborn, there are so many things that I need to ask and I feel like Chris' mom will feel the need to split in two to help Carly and I... It'll be catastrophic, it gives me anxiety just to think about it

—The questions are endless, when I gave birth to Exton I was practically alone because my mon had passed away, but thankfully I had my aunt with me, she helped me quite a lot I must say. Will the baby be born here?

—I don't know, I think so. Chris wanted to move back to Boston but I told him that we shouldn't because then he'd be back and forth even more

—If your baby's born here in L.A, then I can come and help you, I sincerely love babies -she smiles, I hand her the cup of coffee and she mumbles a thank you-

—I'd appreciate it so much, Susan, really.

I felt the urge to ask her for advices to keep the marriage healthy and long lasting but something stopped me. Susan is a trustable person, but she might comment her husband about my question and Robert might comment Chris about it, since they're so close... It'd end up in another fight with Chris so I decided to bite my tongue.
