Baby Steps

Come again?

Vanessa's POV

My eyes snapped up. Did she just say what I think she said? She was looking at me intently, biting her bottom lip. Yes, I think she did.

"Come again?" I said, just to be sure, but I'm certain I understood.

Brooke hesitates. "Let's...have a baby." She said slowly.

"You want to have a baby?" I restated.

She nods, "Don't you?"

I don't answer right away, I'm processing her words.

"I've wanted to be a mom since I was 7." I said quietly. "Some people were put on this earth to do certain things. I was put on this earth to be a mom and have a family."

I was looking down at the small blonde haired, blue eyed lovebug in between us, a million thoughts running through my head. He is so precious. Would our baby look like him? Like Brooke? Would Brooke be the one carrying it? Or me? Was I strong enough?

"What's on your mind?" Brooke asked, quietly.

"I can't wait to see a little baby you running around here." I smiled, Brooke shakes her head.

"No." she says, "I want it to look like you."

My heart swelled. I just stared at her, hoping she was saying what I thought she was saying.

"I want you to carry the baby, V." Brooke Lynn smiled.

A bright smile spread across my lips. "Really?" I said, and Brooke just nods

I glance down at Graycen. He's fast asleep. I look back up at Brooke and she winks. I know what that means! We block the baby in on the bed, get the monitors set up, and go to the living room. We stripped our clothes off as we went. I fell backwards on the couch, pulling Brooke on top of me.

"So, are we going to do this? Have a baby?" Brooke Lynn asked.

"We can't exactly make one this way. Requires something else."
Brooke turns her nose up in mock disgust, and I get lost in a fit of giggles. She rolls her eyes and I watch as she kisses her way down my body, finally getting to her destination between my thighs.

I know it's short. It'll pick up soon.
