*Alexie's POV*

"You need to talk to James" Barclay smiled as he was playing with Jess' hair. Her head placed on his lap, her legs extended on the sofa.

"Why? He beat up Jason" I replied as I sipped on my cold water.

"He beat him up because you didn't say anything" Barclay added.

"I didn't want to tell him because he's got other priorities" I added.

"This baby is my priority, I'd drop gigs to be with Jess and the baby" Barclay stated, as his large hand covered Jess' stomach.

"You too are engaged, you've got a support system" I shot back, these bloody hormones.

"James loves you" Barclay said clearly.

"And you love James, it's obvious" Jess added.

"No I don't" I shot back.

Jess and Barclay both rolled their eyes.

"Oh, okay then" Jess laughed as she adjusted herself on Barclay's lap.

I glanced at the clock, it was half 7 at night and I was shattered.

"Barc, couldn't help me up could you?" I laughed as he stood up. He supported me and helped me up.

"Jesus Christ Lex, she's gonna be a whooper" Jess burst out laughing.

"No she isn't, I won't let her!" I said quickly.

"Your only 23 weeks and your barely able to get up, wait until your 40 weeks" she giggled again.

"Do you guys know what you want?" I asked curiously.

"Twin boys" Barclay blurted out quickly. Jess' reaction was priceless.

"You can push them out then Barc" she added, her facial reaction barely changed.

"A little girl would be amazing, or a little boy, just not twins" Jess said sternly.

"Us Beales have super sperm" Barclay beamed proudly.

"Barclay Edward Beales!" Jess shouted horrified, "I don't want to know about your brother like that!"

"And with that, I'm going to bed" I said slightly embarrassed.

Barclay chuckled lightly in the background.

I admired Barclay and Jess from the doorway. The way they interacted made me wish I had that with James, but he's with Shannon and I was stubborn enough to push him away.

Barclay kept talking to the baby and James did that once, but never again.

"Stand up and let me take a picture!" Barclay called out. I followed his instructions and stood at the end of the bed.

I pulled my Tshirt up and beamed brightly as Barc pulled out his phone. He smiled as he took the photograph.

I jumped on the bed beside him as he began rubbing my stomach.

"I'm really looking forward to this, our future and our baby" Barclay smiled. I nodded in agreement.

"So twin boys?" I laughed, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, two little troublesome Beales will be great, well after this one" he smiled.

"No twins" I demanded jokily, pressing my finger into his chest.

Barclay pouted "What about a boy and a girl?"
