"Alright sweet girl, what are we starting with?" Evan asked, with Mallory sitting beside him in front of the DVD shelf.

"Polar Express!" Mallory cheered. Zoe groaned and Evan looked over.

"Is that okay Mommy?" Mallory asked. Zoe nodded.

"Yes of course baby." Zoe said smiling.

"Everything okay baby?" Evan asked.

"Yeah. The baby's just moving around a lot." Zoe whined. Evan put the movie into the DVD player and Mallory ran over to her mother.

"I like this movie Mommy." Mallory whispered, cuddling close to her mother. Zoe smiled and wrapped her arms around her oldest baby. The movie started and Mallory sighed happily.

"I love that movie Mommy." Mallory sighed as Zoe tucked her into bed.

"I know you do ladybug." Zoe whispered, kissing Mallory's forehead.

"Have a good sleep Mommy! And if the baby comes, come get me."  Mallory called.

Mallory had been reminding Zoe that every night since they had told Mallory there was a baby on the way.

"Of course I will baby. I love you."

"Love you Mommy."
