"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Timberlake. It's Justin and Kimberly right?" The instructor said.
"Yes."
"My name is Susan. I'll be the instructor."
"Nice to meet you."
"And you brought the whole gang."
"Yeah they all wanted to tag along. You probably remember JC and Danielle. They took this class." Justin said.
"Oh yes. How's the baby?" Susan asked.
"She's good. Daddy is bringing her inside now." Danielle said. Seconds later JC walked in with Alishia in his arms.
"Aw, she's a doll." Susan said smiling.
"Hi Susan, meet Alishia." JC said.
"Hi Alishia, wow, she's beautiful."
"Thank you."
"Thank you for joining us today. You two probably already knkow the routine, maybe you can help out Kimberly and Justin."
"Ok everyone please get in a circle, Mommies on the floor and Dad's kneel behind them." Susan said.
"Ok Joey sit on the floor." Chris said.
"No you. You're more woman than me."
"I am not!" Chris said. "You have a bigger gut than me."
"Well I have a bigger dick than you, so there. I'm more man than you!"
"Oh my god! I can't believe you!" Chris said in shock.
"Ooo..." Danielle, JC and Lance said.
"Christopher sit on the floor."
"Yes dear."

"I really liked that class, did you baby girl?" Justin said.
"Until you dropped me." Kimberly said.
Danielle chuckled.
"D, shut up."
"I'm sorry baby girl, I didn't mean to."
"Yeah, whatever."
"Hey Chris, is Sarah coming to the class next time?" JC asked.
"Yeah, she wasn't able to get a flight in time, so she'll be here next week." He smiled.
"Cool."
They all went back to Kimberly and Justin's house to hang out.

1 month later...
Kimberly was now 6 months pregnant. Alishia was a year and a half.
Everyone decided to go to California to get away from everything. They were staying at the Hyatt Hotel.
Danielle had Alishia in her arms and Kimberly was walking next to her. They walked up to the counter to get thier room keys for their reserved rooms.
"Sir we have reserved 4 rooms and would like the keys." Danielle said.
The guy behind the counter looked up at them. "Ok what is the name under?" He asked.
"Johnny Wright."
"Kimberly?" The guy said.
"Andrew?" She said in shock.
"Oh my god, baby girl how are you?" He said.
"Good, how about you?"
"Alright...hey Danielle."
"Hi."
He handed her the keys. Walking around the counter to give Kimberly a hug.
"Whoa! What happened? Who knocked you up?" He said giving her a hug.
"Nice Andrew. It was good to see you. I got to go." She began to walk away.
"It's mine right?" He said.
"You wish Andrew." She said walking towards Justin.
"You know it baby girl!" Andrew said.
Justin heard him call her baby girl and his eyes became wide.
"Baby, who was that? Who's Andrew?" Justin asked.
"It doesn't matter. Who cares." Kimberly said.
"I care. Who was that and why was he calling you baby girl?" Justin continued asking her as they walked out of the elevator onto their floor.
"It doesn't matter."
"Who was he?"
"No one."
"Who was he? Danielle do you know?"
"I'm not gettin' in the middle of this." She said.
"You know!"
"Maybe I do. But I'm not telling you."
"Please who is he?"
"Uncle Justin, sh!" Alishia said. Everyone laughed.
"See even Alishia want you to shut up and drop the subject." Kimberly said walking into the hotel room.
"Fine I'll go ask him myself." Justin turned around to go back downstairs.
Justin walked up to the front desk, Andrew was standing behind.
"Hey are you Andrew?" Justin asked.
"Yes, can I help you?"
"Yes you can. Can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure."
Andrew walked from behind the desk to stand next to Justin.
"Ok, now you know Kimberly right?"
"Yeah she's awesome and very hot!"
"She's my wife." Justin showed him his wedding ring. Andrew was speechless, he started at Justin in disbelief.
"She is?...I, I-...I didn't know that."
"No one and I mean NO ONE ever calls her baby girl, but me! Got it?" Justin said in his face.
"Yeah." Andrew said softly.
"Thanks for your time." Justin said walking away back to his hotel room. Leaving Andrew in shock.
"Where'd you go?" Kimbery asked.
"To talk to Andrew." He said.
"You what?...how could you, when I asked you NOT to do that and drop the damn subject."
"I was just curious!"
"Well you need to stop being fucking curious becasue it's not your business."
"What? None of my business? You ARE my business baby girl."
"Not my business from the past."
"Kimbery don't be pulling this shit now."
"What shit Justin? You're the one who's being fucking noisy talking to my ex-boyfriends."
"Ex-boyfriend? So that's what he is? Why couldn't you tell me? It's that simple, he's an ex-boyfriend."
"If it's that simple then why are you getting so worked up about it?"
Justin didn't say anything.
"That's what I thought...He's an ex-boyfriend, I'm with you now why does it matter?" She said walking away.
*****
In the middle of the night Kimberly woke up screaming in pain. Justin woke up instantly wondering what was wrong.
"Baby girl are you ok?"
"Justin, the baby. Something's wrong." Kimberly sobbed.
"Can you get up? We have to go to the hospital." Justin helped her out of bed. He practically carrie dher out to the car and they left to the hospital right away.
----
"Kimberly, you and the baby will be fine. The baby's heart beat was a little slow but it will be ok. It's back to normal. You just need to keep it low and pretty much do nothing. Lots of bed rest. The complications were possibly becasue of stress. Have you been under a lot of stress lately?"
"Not really, but I'm pretty active throughout the day."
"Well let Justin clean the house from now on, you stay in bed."
Kimberly and Justin laughed.
"You hear that Justin?" Kibmerly told him.
"Yes." He smiled.
"Well that's it for now. If you need anything else, just give me a call." The doctor said.
"Ok, thank you."
After leaving the hospital they went back to the hotel.
When they walked into the room the phone rang.
"Hello?" Justin said.
"Is she ok?" Danielle asked.
"Yeah it was a false alarm. The doctor said the baby's heart best was slow but its ok now. And he just told her to take it easy, make me clean the house now." Justin laughed.
"Ok good, that scared me for a minute there." She said
"Me too."
"Well tell her I said hi."
"Baby Danielle says hi."
"Hi." Kimberly said.
"She said hi."
"Ok well I'll let you go, take care of her."
"I will. Goodnight." He said.
"Goodnight." Danielle hung up the phone.
"She ok?" JC asked.
"Yeah. False alarm."
"I remember those." He laughed.
"Yeah, no kidding." She smiled.
