Three weeks later Breanna pranced through the front door. She had seen Kevin's car in the front of her condo and knew that at least he was there. "I'm home!" She shouted into the quiet house. "I'm back from my doctors appointment. Anyone care?" She asked as she walked around the house. She couldn't find anyone in the house and it confused her. She rested her arm over her stomach and walked over to her balcony. She noticed that the sliding glass door was partially opened. When she walked outside she was shocked. It wasn't Kevin who was visiting, it was Howie. He didn't notice her out on the balcony standing next to him. He was in deep thought starring out towards the city. Breanna reached over and placed her hand on his forearm. Howie jumped before turning towards Breanna. "Calm down, it's only me. I can't do much harm, at least not like this." She replied looking down at her stomach. Howie smiled and placed his hand on her stomach. "What'd the doctor say?" Howie asked. "Well, that's what I want to talk to you about. Let's go inside." Howie became alarmed all of a sudden but calmed down quickly when he realized that she was calm.

Once inside, Breanna made her way over to the couch. Howie followed her, unsure what was going on. "I'm sorry I couldn't go with you to your doctors appointment. We've been slacking off on this album and we really needed to put more work into it." Howie explained. "Eh, don't worry about it. You didn't miss much. Same 'ol, same 'ol. 'Baby's growing, she's too fussy, always kicking.' The same thing he told us last time." Breanna explained. Howie laughed softly. He noticed that Breanna was sitting uneasy. She kept shifting her weight and avoiding his eyes. In the past three weeks, they were communicating more but there was hardly any physical contact. They seemed more like old friends than anything else. But that didn't stop the paparazzi from snapping pictures and claiming that they happily engaged expecting twins. Aside from all of the positive things going for the couple, Breanna's mood swings were driving him up the wall but he learned to live with them.

"What's wrong?" Howie asked. "Huh? Oh, nothing. I'm just thinking..." She trailed off. "About?" He coaxed. "We have less than a week to resolve everything." She replied. "No, we have more time than that. Even after the baby's born we can still try to work things out. Don't stress out about that, okay? It's not good for the baby." Howie reassured Breanna. "What if I want to resolve it today?" Breanna questioned quietly. "What? Today?" Breanna nodded. "I just want to know where we stand." Howie thought about it for a moment before talking. "I guess that's up to you, Bree. You know where I stand." He explained. "Do you want things back to the way they were?" He asked. "Yes." She whispered. "Then come here." He said as he moved a little closer to her. Breanna moved over so that her head was on his chest with one arm draped across his stomach. Howie smiled to himself as he stroked her hair to calm her. "Why this change all of a sudden?" He asked quietly after a few minutes. "It's not all of a sudden. I just decided to put our daughter first and forget about my pride." She explained.

"We need to think of names, you know that?" Howie asked, trying to break Breanna's concentration. "Names? Oh, I totally forgot." She replied snuggling up with Howie. "Man, I'll get it." Howie annoying stated after hearing the doorbell. After a minute Howie came back with AJ in tow. "You just had to annoy us today, didn't you AJ?" Breanna asked as Howie sat back down next to her. Breanna snuggled back up against him as Howie placed his arm behind her back, kissing her forehead. AJ was totally floored as he watched them. "So, why are you here?" Howie asked with a grin. "Now I forgot! What's up with you two!" AJ shouted in shock. "Nothing." Breanna replied with a grin. "Are two back together? Oh god, *please* say yes!" AJ stated. "Yeah. We still have a lot of issues to work out, but for the most part I guess so." Howie explained. "It took you two over a year to work this out? Man, that's sad." AJ replied while he shook his head. Breanna grabbed the nearest pillow and tossed it at him. "If I recall correctly, you and Mya have a similar track record." Breanna replied. AJ smirked as he nodded his head.

"So, what's the discussion?" AJ asked. "Names." Breanna and Howie replied. "How about Rose?" AJ asked. Breanna made a face and shook her head no. "That's more of a middle name. It's too old for a baby." Breanna explained. "I kinda like it." Howie said. "I didn't, you did. So, no, that's not her name. We need to both agree on something." Breanna replied. "What about something similar to your brothers name? Like Alexia." AJ suggested. "I like it. What do you think?" Howie asked Breanna. "Nah, I don't think so. Alexia is a cute name but I don't like it." Breanna stated. "Well, honestly I don't know any other names." AJ said. "I never even thought about it before." Howie replied. "Me neither." Breanna added. "There was one name I like but I don't think you would like it." Breanna told Howie. "Well, what is it?" Howie asked. "Anna." Breanna replied. "Anna's cute!" AJ stated. "Yeah, what's wrong with that name?" Howie asked Breanna. "Nothing, I just didn't think you'd like it." Breanna explained. "Anna Rose!" AJ stated after remembering that Breanna liked Rose as a middle name. "Anna Rose Dorough." Breanna said the complete name. Howie smiled; He loved the name.

The three talked for two hours. Howie noticed that Breanna grew quiet a lot of the time. "So, what are you two going to do?" AJ asked. "We haven't discussed anything." Howie explained. "Are you two going to move back in together?" AJ asked. 'Leave it to AJ to be blunt.' Breanna thought. "We haven't talked about that yet." Breanna answered. Howie held Breanna tightly in his arms and felt the baby kick. But he felt the kick coming from right under Breanna's breasts. "Is she punching now, too?" He joked. Breanna shook her head. "No, that was her foot." Breanna explained. "Her foot?" He asked back. "Yeah, she's in position." AJ looked from Howie back to Breanna. "One week left, man. One week left." AJ replied. Howie laughed at the idea. It was strange but at the same time he couldn't wait.

AJ and Breanna were talking about music while Howie listened to the discussion. He was in thought and honestly did not feel like joining the discussion. Before long, it turned into a teasing match. Breanna and AJ were teasing Howie about anything and everything, just to get a rise out of him. But, every 15 minutes or so, Breanna would quiet down and let AJ talk. Howie let it roll off his shoulders as he continued to listen to AJ and Breanna. "Bree, you've done way worse than me! You're more anal about making sure that everything in your room is perfectly straight. If anything's out of line you freak out." Howie teased after remembering how she would rearrange their closet time and again if it didn't look organized. "Me? You're the one who *dusts* the hotel rooms. Now *that's* anal." She teased. AJ laughed because he knew that Breanna was right. "That was low!" Howie laughed as he poked Breanna in the stomach trying to make her laugh and realized that her stomach felt almost as hard as a rock. She quickly stopped laughing and sat in silence for about a minute. Howie knew something wasn't right. "AJ, come here." Howie said quickly. AJ walked across the room and sat across from the couple on the coffee table. "What? What's wrong?" He asked. "Touch her stomach." Howie said. AJ leaned over and touched Breanna's stomach. "What's wrong with it?" AJ asked. "It's hard." Howie replied. "No it's not." AJ stated. Howie touched Breanna's stomach and realized that it was no longer hard. Breanna exhaled deeply and looked between both men. "Do you two mind? I don't want you poking my kid! That's all I need is for her to be born with an eye poked out." Breanna teased.
