"Are you okay?" I walk up to the car.

"Sometimes I just need a minute to breathe" he looks up at me.

"He's gonna be okay, I promise you" I sadly smile.

"Yeah... yeah I know" he sighs and unlocks the car doors. "I'm ready"

I frown and get in the passengers seat. "We don't have to go-"

"No babe, seriously, I wanna go! I wanna know the gender of my baby! It's just upsetting that he's under that floor" he clenches his jaw, speeding off.

"We can see him after! And tell him the gender!" I smile.

"I know, I know. I'm excited!" he holds my hand with his free one.

I smile, rubbing the back of his hand with my thumb.

You may be confused as to what's going on...

Zachary has stage four cancer.

He's not doing so well... he's known he had cancer for awhile now, but he didn't have the heart to tell the Archer kids... including Dakota.

Yeah, it made Dakota sad he didn't tell him, but he's more upset that it's getting worse.

He's in the hospital right under the floor we find out the gender of our baby in.

I know Dakota knows, but he's denying it... Zachary's dying.

The nurses are trying so hard to help hm, but he's suffering.

"After this, can we get chick fil a? I'm starving" I throw myself back, drinking as much water as I'm suppose to.

"Yeah! Anything for my baby momma and peanut" he rubs my bump and I laugh.

In minutes, we pull into the hospital and walk in.

"I'm so excited!!" I get into the elevator with a huge smile on my face.

"Me too! A baby Archer in the house!" he says, then gets quiet.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Do you wanna move out, Grace?" he looks at me. "I mean... we own every mansion in the world. We could go anywhere"

I smile. "I'd love to live in a house with just us. But, I want to stay nearby. For my parents and your parents and siblings"

"That's true. I'll show you the houses nearby tomorrow!" he says in excitement.

"Sounds fun!! And we can build the nursery!" I gasp. "We can-"

The elevator dings, making us laugh and get off on our floor.

I walk up to the front desk and sign in before Dakota and I sit down, patiently waiting.

Mothers and fathers come in and out of the back along with some of their other kids.
