As I Am (Part 2 of There You'll Be)

Bagans Baby 3.0?

My mouth hung open at what my husband had just said.

Maybe the birth of both our kids had awaken some baby hungry Bagans I was unfamiliar with.

Don't get me wrong, I love my babies. I love watching Zak be a Daddy.

It's just that after my last pregnancy with Emery and the incident at the museum that made me go on bedrest, I really got to see how much Zak's work impacts EVERYTHING.

"Baby, you know how much I love making babies with you, I really do. I just am terrified with the spirits attacking Grayson as an infant and being pushed down the stairs in the museum with Emery, how they'd react with a third baby." I told him.

He sighed.

"I know Ev, I know. I think about how every encounter and move I make could impact you and the kids..."

Then I heard Grayson yelling from his bed for me.

'Mommy? Daddy?'

I looked back at my phone. "Your son is awake, let me grab him real quick."

I set my phone on the bed and took Em with me.

I entered Gray's room to see him smiling.

"Hi mama."

"Hi baby, Daddy is on the phone in my room if you wanna come see him?" I said as I got him out of bed.

He ran behind me to our bedroom.

I picked up the phone again.

"Hi Daddy!"

Zak looks back at the screen with a huge grin when he saw who it was.

"Hey Buddy! How are you? I miss you!"

"Miss you!"

"Are you being good for Mama?" Zak asked.

Gray nodded his head.

"Okay bud, I love you!"

"Love you too, Daddy!" Gray said. He handed the phone back to me and I turned on cartoons for him.

The conversation between Z & I picked up right where we left off.

"As I was saying,' he starts. "I think about how every encounter and move I make could impact you and the kids. Before you, I'd pester the hell out of these spirits. Now I worry what I might bring home, ya know? It's not just me there anymore."

"I know lover. You're so good. You're such a stud. You're a good daddy to Gracie and the kids. You're such a good hubby to me too. I'm so lucky." I told him.

"Who are you talking to? Is that the wifey!!!??" I hear Aaron in the background.

Zak nods. Suddenly all the guys wanna say hi.

"Hi Ev!" Says Jay
"Hey Ev!" Billy calls out.
"What's up, Ev?!" Aaron appears on the screen.

I chuckle. "Hey guys! What's up?"

"Not much. Where are the kids?" Aaron says.

I rearrange and Gray appears.

"Hey Gray! What's up bro?" Aaron says waving.

He pans around at the guys all waving.

Gray waves back.

"Where's Emery?!" Jay yells in back.

I take the phone and hold it up above me so the guys can see Emery girl who is wide awake cuz she can hear her Daddy.

"There's my beautiful little girl!" Zak exclaims.

The boys all gather in to see her.

"My God, Dude. You guys sure know how to make 'em. Your kids are amazing." Bill says.

"Yep. They're pretty incredible, if I say so myself." Zak said beaming and boasting.

"That's why you're gonna have another one, right Z? A kiddo for each of us to play with? I don't like sharing them when we are together." Aaron commented.

"I don't know Aaron, you gotta ask the Mrs."

"Pleeeeeeasssseeee Evelynnnnn..." Aaron begs.

"I tell you what Aaron. The quicker you boys get done with your investigation, the quicker my husband can get back to making another baby with me." I bargained.

"DEAL!" They all yelled.
