A few hours later,

Michael and Veronica arrived back at the ranch with the ultrasound pictures and some pregnancy vitamins they picked up too

"He or she is so tiny" Veronica beamed at the ultrasound picture

"I can't wait to really see you pregnant like that lady that entered the building when we left" Michael smiled at her and wrapped his arms around her to hold her close

"I'll be that pregnant in a few months" Veronica smiled "I hope the morning sickness will be gone by then" she sighed

"I'm sorry you have to deal with morning sickness" Michael mentioned

"I just keep thinking about the cute little baby we'll have in May he or she will all be worth it to feel sick for a few months" Veronica replied and sweetly kissed her man

"Speaking of May, are we getting married before or after the baby is born? I personally don't think it's a good idea to add the stress of planning a wedding while you are pregnant" Michael mentioned

"We could have a small wedding? Just family and few friends?" Veronica suggested

"If we invite my entire family it's not a small wedding tho" Michael reminded her

"I'll only invite my parents and my four best friends, Hannah, Julie, Kelly and Mandy" Veronica answered

"Then I'll invite my parents, siblings and their partners and kids and of course Bailey since she's family too" Michael replied

"And we could get married on valentines day?" Veronica suggested

"Isn't that I don't know, cliche?" Michael asked

"Atleast we won't forget our wedding anniversary that way" Veronica smiled "And I'm seven months pregnant then" She added

"True" Michael nodded "And where do we get married?" he asked

"We could have the ceremony at the restaurant and the party too" Veronica suggested

"Did we just plan our wedding in just a few minutes?" Michael asked

"Yes" Veronica nodded

----

Arrived inside the house they found both their parents in the living room

"How's my grandchild doing?" Fiona asked when she saw them enter the living room

"He or she is not just your grandchild" Veronica reminded her

"I know that" Fiona scoffed

"Anyway, everything looks good" Veronica told the others and handed the ultrasound pictures to her father and Michael's mother "We don't know if it's a boy or a girl, I didn't want to know yet" she explained

"I wanted to know tho" Michael reminded her

"Why? I want it to be a surprise, we'll paint the nursery in neutral colors anyway" Veronica mentioned

"We or the proffesionals?" Michael asked

"We ourselves" Veronica answered

"You do know I use my voice to make money right? I'm not a professional painter or construction worker" Michael reminded her

"I know" Veronica replied "We have a while until it's May" She smiled at him

"Speaking of May is the baby going to be born with married parents or not?" Fiona asked

"Yes, we'll get married on valentine's day at the restaurant" Veronica answered

"Why there? Don't you have more room here?" Joseph asked

"Yea, I mean why'd you get married at the place you work?" Fiona asked

"Maybe because they met there and it's also Matthew's place so in a way he's there too" Katherine assumed

"Exactly" Both Michael and Veronica nodded

"Do you need help?  I can make the food or the wedding cake if you want" Liam suggested

"My favorite mixed berries pie?" Veronica asked

"No layered cake?" Liam asked

"No, mixed berries pies" Veronica answered "The multiple layer idea from before was not my idea" She added

"I can help with baking those pies" Katherine suggested

----

Later that night,

Katherine and Joseph left the ranch to go home after they had dinner with everyone

Fiona dissapeard into her room not long after Michael's parent's left

And Michael was in his at home office to work on some paperwork, answer some emails and make a few phone calls

Leaving Liam and Veronica in the living room together

"So my little girl is having a baby huh?" Liam asked "I still remember the day you were born" He mentioned

"Was I a tiny baby?" Veronica asked

"Yes, I loved those first few hours I got to spend with you when your mother was being checked at the hospital and resting since you were born in that Irish pub" Liam remembered

"I've always wondered why you guys went all the way to Ireland when mom was heavily pregnant" Veronica mentioned

"Now you've those travel restrictions for pregnant women I don't think we had them back when you were born and not to mention your mom can be stubborn, if she wants something it usually happens, remember that new wallpaper and the new tables and chairs she wanted for the restaurant? We wanted the dark wood and she wanted the caramel hazelnut color scheme? In the end we ended up with caramel hazelnut colors" Liam mentioned

"Did she do that to your new food truck bussines too?" Veronica asked

"No, she wants nothing to do with it, she loves tanning on the beach and volunteering at the beach helping out the local lifeguards" Liam answered

"After the baby is born I want to visit the new place in honululu, with Michael's help I kind of forget my fear of flying, he knows how to calm me down" Veronica mentioned

"Did you get pregnant on the flight home?" Liam asked

"No, we were back home for almost two months when I got pregnant" Veronica answered

"I'm glad you didn't get pregnant by that Nigel kid, you do know he is a gold digger, right? I mean I never said anything since you loved him and your mother saw him as the son we never had" Liam told her

"Yea now I know he's a goldigger, his baby mama's dad doesn't give them anything as long as she's with him" Veronica replied

"I know, Fiona told me" Liam mentioned

"Are you still thinking of divorce?" Veronica asked

"No, I talked with Katherine, Michael's mother, she's a sweet woman and she told me about her husband having another child outside their marriage too, she still loves him, she can't trust him like before but love is more important so she asked me if I still love Fiona, I do, so I won't file for divorce, that doesn't mean I have forgiven her already tho" Liam explained

"Did you talk to mom?" Veronica asked

"A little, we'll work on our marriage back in honululu, we'll leave tomorrow morning and we'll be back by the time you're due, I don't want miss the birth of my grand baby, well not litterly be in the room, I'll wait in the family room of course" Liam mentioned

"I hope you guys can work it out" Veronica replied

"Don't you worry about it, you need to focus on the baby" Liam told her

"I will" Veronica promised
