Wynonna is eavesdropping in the hall between the kitchen & the living room. She finally pops her head in. She's found the perfect opportunity to be a pest; which she thoroughly enjoys.

Wynonna- Hey! LANGUAGE!!!

Waverly turns around, arms folded. Nicole can't see the look on Waverly's face because her back is now turned to her but whatever face she made sent Wynonna out of the room without another word. That's a rarity.

Exhaling and turning slowly Waverly is looking at Nicole with "those eyes". Those soft hazel eyes that make Nicole want to give her anything she desires & after 10 years together she is still amazed at the strength of their love.

Waverly- I'm s- Sighing and tilting her head to the side.

Nicole- Don't you DARE apologize. Grabbing her wife's waist gently and pulling her in close. This is our life. This is exactly what I signed up for. Every last bit of it, okay? She leans back releasing her tight hold. Waverly lingers her arms. Nicole places a kiss to her neck and leans down to rest their foreheads together, taking in the moment.

Waverly- You always know what to say. She says genuinely.

Nicole- I wouldn't go that far. She says with a smirk.

Waverly- Oh trust me. I know! How could anyone ever forget the whole "I'd do a lot of things to you." line? Smiling at the memory.

Nicole- Will you ever let that one go? She's happy her wife now seems to be calmer. She's still not one hundred percent sure what is going on.

Waverly- Laughing heartily. Not a chance. Stepping back so she can better see her wife's face. Nicole. She says exhaling. I think I might be pregnant.

The look on Waverly's face almost breaks Nicole's heart. Her wife is silently pleading with her to be okay with her taking another pregnancy test right then and there. Neither of them say a word. They just study each other for a moment. They always had a system before. For them, taking the pregnancy test was an event all on its own. They had nearly treated it as a sacred occasion.

Nicole- Babe... Looking down at how their hands had instinctively found the others. She lets out a weighted sigh.

They had a routine. The day they were taking the test they both would take the day off from work. They'd spend all day cuddling and catching up and just before dinner they would take the test when they were in their most open and relaxed states to better handle whatever the answer may be on that test.

This. This was NOT that. This was not that at all.

Nicole- Let's take the test. She says smiling genuinely. Where do you want me?

Waverly- Right outside the door please! She can't help but to bounce up on her toes jostling the pack n play next to them waking Bridger.

Bridger- Mommy! He says happily with renewed energy.

Waverly- Hi cowboy! She smiles at her little ginger & gestures her intent to head towards the bathroom to Nicole.

A step ahead of her wife's thinking she is already turning to pick Bridger up. She knows how eager Waverly is to get to the restroom. Now she needs a little help with Bridger.

Nicole- I'll be right there. She says looking after Waverly who is already half way down the hall. Turning back to her son, running her fingers idly through his curly mane. Hey buddy, you know who's here?

Bridger- Who? He says with a mischievous little grin. His nose wrinkling & hiding a few of his biggest and brightest freckles.

Nicole- Auntie Nona, Alice, & Aunt Gus. She whispers Aunt Gus's name knowing what his answer will be as soon as he hears her name.

Bridger- I want to see Aunt Gus! The words burst out of him.

He LOVES his Aunt Gus. I mean LOVES! Aunt Gus swears it's because they bake together and baking buddies are always always always best friends. It must be that she heard her name because she comes walking over just as Waverly is closing the bathroom door.

Nicole- Giving Gus an appreciative smile. Thank you.

As she hands the toddler into warm waiting arms he snuggles into her neck immediately.

Nicole- I'm going to wait with Waverly. Her words rush out. She doesn't want to leave Waverly waiting too long. He just got up from a little siesta so he might want a snack.

He perks up at the word snack. Knowingly, Gus places a calming hand on Nicole's forearm.

Aunt Gus- Hey. It's going to be okay. No matter what. She says sternly. Now go on. Waving her down the hall. I have this handled. She says as she kisses the top of Bridger's head.
