"How's my girl?" Kells asked, holding Alice and kissing her cheek. She giggled and touched his scruffy face, smiling sweetly.

"We heard the good news! Congratulations, Clara!" Gwen squeezed me.

"Thank you!"

"I'm happy we got the deal, but I wish our business partner didn't have a crush on my fiance." Kells complained and they both looked surprised.

"She was definitely giving off some vibes." I laughed and they both looked shocked and amused.

"Damn, Kells, you got some competition?" Dom asked.

"You're straight, right?" Kells looked at me and I laughed.

"Yes, baby. And you're the only one I want." I promised, squeezing his tattooed arm.

I booked the venue for our Christmas wedding, planning it out while I rocked Alice in the afternoon.

"Can I invite your parents?" I asked Gwen.

"Yes. They know I'm pregnant now. They know that I was married and that he died. They didn't take it well, but I know they will want to be there for you." She said and I nodded. It was late September, and she was almost nine months along.

"You did not get as fat as me and I want you to know that I'm bitter about it." She commented as I watched her struggle to stand up.

"You're carrying it to full term. Consider yourself fortunate." I reminded her and she kissed the top of my head as she walked by.

"I know."

"You look great, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself." Dom told her, and she gave him a warm smile.

I wrapped Alice against my chest and got up off of the couch, going to make dinner. The front door opened and Wes walked in with our other friends, Kian, Reagan, and Aylo. I greeted them warmly, excited to see them and have them for dinner.

"You're so pregnant!" Aylo gasped at Gwen, who laughed.

"I'm due in just a few weeks." She said, rubbing her stomach, and Reagan came up and hugged me.

"Is this your daughter?" She asked sweetly and I nodded, showing them Alice.

"She's beautiful. Her eyes look like her dad's." Wes said and I thanked him.

"Where is her dad?" Aylo asked and I checked my phone.

"Still at work. He'll be home soon."

"Have you sealed the knot yet?" Reagan asked.

"No, not legally. We're getting married at Christmastime. But neither of us are going anywhere, we just want to wait a little longer until we get settled with Alice." I explained.

"You'll be invited when we have a wedding!" I promised them.

"Want me to take her?" Dom asked as I struggled to stick dinner in the oven.

"Yes please." I handed Alice to him, and she watched me with her big eyes, but didn't cry. I leaned down and put it in the oven.

"Have you gotten any sleep since becoming a mom?" Wes asked and I nodded.

"She sleeps really well, and I'm usually able to go back to sleep after feeding her in the night. And Kells is hugely helpful."

"You're so lucky. Ours will probably scream all night." Dom said and Gwen smacked his arm.

"Don't say that!" She snapped at him and we all laughed.

"I'm only kidding. She has such a mild mannered mom, I'm sure she'll be perfectly alright." Dom teased her.
