This chapter is dedicated to my Gypsy daughter holomwrmaid . I love you babyyyyyyy

Tifani's POV

We are pretty much empty nesters now.
Mia is 28, Barbara and Robin are 22 and Harry is 16.
Stevie is turning 72 in a few weeks, and I turned 43 in November.
Things are going smut, and it's actually really weird to be around the house without hearing the constant fighting between our little devils.
I lean against Mia's doorframe and stare at the white dress on the hanger. Thank God we had time to adjust it according to her growing belly.
I tense up when I feel a pair fo arms around my waist, but I relax as soon as I smell the familiar gardenia perfume.
"I can't believe our baby girl is getting married in two days, honey!" Stevie whispers to my ear.
"I can't either, Steph. I also can't believe that she's already 7 months pregnant." I turn around to stare at her brown eyes. "But I also have to confess that I cannot wait to be an Oma." She laughs and gives me a peck.
"Do you really want the baby to call you Oma? You are so young that you could be its aunt. I'm the old grandma, not you." I giggle and roll my eyes still not believing she's saying that.
I look at my watch and it's almost midnight.
"Where the hell is Harry? He said he was gonna go to Samuel's house, but he didn't show up yet." I get so frustrated for not being the one driving my kids around anymore. Sometimes I wish they could stay little a little longer.
"How about you go choose us a bottle of Rosé while I call Harry and yell at him?" Stevie gives me a peck and walks to our room. Geez, she's so hot. I don't have words to describe her.
After a few minutes we are lying together in bed, drinking our wine and watching TV. Not longer after, Harry comes into our room, apologizing for being late, giving us a goodnight kiss. We chat a little about our plans for tomorrow and after he goes to bed, Stevie's clothes are soon scattered around the floor.

———————————————————————————

"Moooooom, I need your help here!" I heard a loud knock on the door, and when I go to wake up Stevie, I just feel the empty bed. Slowly opening my eyes, I can see the bright spring day outside.
"Come in, honey!" I sit up and the door opens revealing a worried Mia holding a piece of paper and a pen. "Good morning pumpkin." I give her a kiss, and she lays down with her head on my legs, like she used to do when she was a teen.
"Mom, I don't know what to write to Allana. I've been thinking non stop since the day she proposed, but I can't." I run my fingers through her hair, and she starts sobbing.
"Oh honey, it's okay. All you have to do is think about the little things. For example, when I married your mom, she wrote the most amazing vows to me, and she even added a line of Edge of Seventeen in it." She laughs and caresses her belly. "You know what? Why don't we go and eat breakfast, then we go find your mom and we ask for help?" I slowly stand up, move and kiss her belly. "Good morning little bean. Oma cannot wait to meet you!"
"Mom, I'd be so lost without you!" Mia stands up and goes to the door. "Now, lets go eat, because the little bean here is hungry."

We go downstairs to find fresh roses in the table center piece, I smile shows up in my face.
I grab myself a cup of coffee, and open the fridge to see what I can make my family for breakfast.
"Mommy, you know I love your cooking, right?" Mia says with a guilty face. "But I am really craving mamma's dip and her omelette right now. And you know what they say, you cannot say no to a pregnant woman." She has a smirk on her face.
"STEPHANIE LYNN, COME HERE!" I yell, going towards the door. "We created a little monster!" I say and start laughing.

"Good morning to you too, Tiff." Stevie says and gives me an amazing kiss. "What's happening?"
"Hey mom!!! I am really craving your dip and that amazing omelette, with some orang- woaaah!" Mia stares at Stevie's neck. "What's that? Is that a bite?" Stevie stares at me panicking a little and I just laugh. "Jesus, you old ladies need to calm down a little." Mia hugs Stevie and messes her hair up a little.
"Old my fucking ass." Stevie says. "Do I need to remind you from that time your mom and I came home to find you and Allana in our hot tub?" Mia just opens her mouth. "Didn't think so. Now move your pregnant ass out of the way, so I can make my little bean some Fleetwood Mac dip and grandma's most amazing omelette."
"Good morning wonderful women of my family." Harry hugs his sister and kisses the top of her head. "How did you all sleep?"
"Hey honey. Good morning!" I hug him and hand him a mug full of coffee.
"Thanks mom." He goes towards Stevie to stop in his tracks. "Holy fuck, ma. Did Edward Cullen attack you last night?" I spit my coffee and start laughing at Stevie.
"Shut the fuck up, Harry. This is not a polite way to say good morning to your mother!" Harry tries to hug her but she slaps his arm. He pretends it hurts a lot, but still hugs her.
"Good morning, Ma. Did you get any sleep? Because you're mean when you don't." He gives Stevie a kiss in the head and runs before she can hit him again.
"Jesus Christ, why are y'all so loud in the mornings?" Robin sits by my side and she's clearly hangover.
"Morning to you, sweetie." I stand up and get her a mug with coffee. "Drank too much last night?"
"Yes mom. I have like 10 shots of tequila!" She sips her coffee and frowns her face because of the light.
"Here you go, Robin." Stevie hands her an ibuprofen tablet. "And if you drink like that again, you better chose to do it here." Stevie is not that happy with Robin, so I just let her do it.
"Grounded." Harry coughs and Robin just glares at him, showing her middle finger.
"Okay, enough you two." I say and grab the food Stevie made, placing it on the table. "Here, go eat breakfast. I'm gonna go call Barb." The kids all stare at each other and say.
"No mom. She must be tired. She needs to rest!" I look at Stevie and she just glares back.
"What's happening here?" "Nothing mom, we're just saying that she must be tired if she didn't wake up yet." Robin says quickly.
"Mmm, okay then. I'll check on her later."
We all sit together and eat breakfast, small talk around the table, but I'm thinking about what's up with Barbara.

Author's note: I'll be posting another chapter soon.
Love will conquer it all,
