Jack's pov
I sat in the living room and went through some emails as Lexa played with some toys. Gabrielle came in and sat next to me. she was posting a picture of Lexa on her instagram. she posted it and set her phone down. she broke the silence.

Gabrielle: Jack?

Jack: yeah?

Gabrielle: can we talk for a minute?

Jack: yeah of course *puts his phone down* what's up?

Gabrielle: okay I don't know how to tell you this

Jack: you're scaring me Gabrielle what is this?

Gabrielle: okay well oh my gosh I'm just like really nervous

Jack: where's the camera? *looks around*

Gabrielle: no camera I swear I just.... *sighs* I want another baby

Jack: you're serious?

Gabrielle: yeah

Jack: you want another baby?

Gabrielle: yes

Jack: well I mean if you're down I'm down too, whatever you want

Gabrielle: *gasps* really!

Jack: yeah, if this is really what you want definitely I'm down

Gabrielle: yay! *hugs Jack*

- later that night -

Gabrielle: babe?

Jack: yeah?

Gabrielle: *walks out of the bathroom* how about this? *smirks*

Jack: when did you get that?

Gabrielle: a few days ago *climbs on the bed* I figured maybe you'd want to mess around a bit

Jack: I like where this is going

Gabrielle: me too *climbs on top of Jack* how about we get started on baby #2 tonight?

Jack: with what you're wearing it was already planned *kisses Gabrielle*

- you know what happens -

- the next day -

Gabrielle's pov

I help Lexa get on the barstool chair so she can help me with breakfast. I grab a bowl and a whisk and set it in front of her. I pour in the pancake mix and some water and let her mix it while I get the griddle out and spray it. I make mickey mouse shapes with them and Jack comes down as I flip the last one. he wraps his arms around my waist and rests his head on my shoulder.

Gabrielle: how'd you sleep?

Jack: good, I needed that last night

Gabrielle: it's only been a few weeks

Jack: yeah that's like a lot Gabrielle, you know me

Gabrielle: *chuckles* yeah yeah, Lexa baby are you ready to eat?

Lexa: yeah! *sits at the table*

Jack helped me with cutting up some fruit and we all ate them got ready.

Jack: *starts the vlog* alright guys so Gabrielle is getting Lexa dressed and ready because today we are going over to her twin sisters house to hang out for a little bit

Gabrielle: did you start without us?

Jack: maybe...

Gabrielle: Lexa, daddy started the vlog without us

Lexa: oh no dadda *holds her hands up*

Gabrielle: anyways, did you tell them what we're doing today?

Jack: yep, are you girls finally ready so we can actually leave?

Gabrielle: yeah, let's go!

- at Madalyn's house -

Gabrielle: so guys we are at my sisters house and if you don't already know she has twins and just recently had a baby so we came to help a little bit since Lexa can play with Kiara and Laila and Madalyn isn't as stressed about them since her fiancé isn't able to be here right now

Lexa: mommy ksmcxjaorn

Gabrielle: what?

Lexa: mommy ere *motions for Gab to follow her*

Gabrielle: Lexa has to show us something *follows Lexa outside to the playhouse* what is that?

Lexa: *giggles and jumps excitedly*

Gabrielle: why don't you play with your cousins for a little bit with daddy, okay?

Lexa: otay

I went back inside with Madalyn and the baby and we talked while the kids and Jack played outside.

Madalyn: so how have things between you and Jack been going?

Gabrielle: better, we worked on some of our issues that we were fighting over but we also talked about some other things too

Madalyn: like?

Gabrielle: well, we're trying for another baby

Madalyn: *gasps* yay! that's so exciting! I can be an auntie again

Gabrielle: *giggles* yeah, so.... boy or girl?

Madalyn: I see you two with another girl again

Gabrielle: yeah, Jack says we're gonna have a boy but I think that's just because he wants one

Madalyn: so what happens if it doesn't work out? I mean I hate to say it but having another baby can take a toll on your relationship sometimes

Gabrielle: I haven't really thought of it but i've been trying to be more open and talking to him about how I feel. the only hard part is he doesn't do the same, he likes to bottle things up and I understand why but it's a little frustrating

Madalyn: yeah, that's how it is sometimes but I think you two will get through it, plus the most important thing is that you're thinking about Lexa and how it will effect her

Gabrielle: she's doing good, but I think she can tell things have been a little different. it's hard because they just know, even if they can't say it they can sense it

Madalyn: with the twins we kept them pretty sheltered for a while and just kept everything positive but it's definitely a challenge at times

Gabrielle: well that's parenting for you
