(Crystal�s POV)

�Lance,� I said. �I really need to talk to you. It�s important.�
�What,� he asked rolling over to me. �What do you want now, do you want to crush more dreams I have for us?�
He got up from the table and walked upstairs. I heard the shower running and I knew that I wasn�t going to be able to talk to him about this right now. Maybe not ever. I decided that the only to get to him was through a note. I looked at the clock on the wall, 9:00pm. I took out some paper and a black pen from the drawer next to me.

Dear Lance,

I want you to know that I am so sorry for hurting you. I thought, at the time, that it would be better to wait to have another baby. I now see that I was wrong and how much I hurt you. It�s not that I don�t want another baby, it�s just that I thought it would be better to wait for a while. I watched Danielle and Stephanie sleep in the tent today and I realized that you were right and that I was wrong. I�m sorry that I hurt you and I�m sorry that you felt bad. Please talk to me.
�Till the day my life is through, This I promise you,
Crystal

I put the note on his pillow upstairs and went back downstairs to wait for him to come down. The shower shut off and I heard Lance open the door from our bedroom a minute later.

(Lance�s POV)

I walked down the stairs trying not to cry. I walked over and sat down next to Crystal who was getting Stephanie in her PJ�s. Crystal got up and I kissed Stephanie and waited for crystal to come back down stairs from putting Stephanie to bed. She came back down minutes later and stood in front of me where I sat in the chair. I patted my lap so she could sit down on it. She came over and sat down on my lap.
�Crystal,� I began. �I love you so much, honey. I want you to want this baby too. I really do.�
�Sweetie,� Crystal said as she ran her fingers up and down my bare chest. �I do want this baby.�
I began to fidget in the chair.
�There is one thing that has to happen first,� I said smiling at Crystal. She reached down and gave me a kiss.
�What�s that,� Crystal asked rubbing my leg.
�The process, in which you and I get to have fun making the baby,� I said smiling as I put my hand up Crystal�s shirt and rubbed her back. �That�s my favorite part.�

Chapter 6 � 5:45pm
October 17th

(Chrissy�s POV)

�What did you get you Chris for his birthday,� I asked Crystal who stood next to me holding up the other end of the decoration that said �Happy Birthday.�
�I got him a tee shirt that say�s �Danielle�s Daddy� on it. It has a picture of the two of them together in the middle,� Crystal said. �Lance got him a gift certificate that allows us to keep Danielle one night so you two can go out and have fun.�
�He will love it,� I said. �I might like that certificate more.�
Crystal and I finished decorating our living room. It was a cozy living room. The stairs were off to the side of the house and there were two doors. One leading to the dinning room and one leading from the kitchen. There was a front door that lead out onto a little front porch and a long brown leather couch and matching chair across from it. I walked through one door out to the kitchen and got the rest of the decorations. I noticed the porch light was on. Chris and I had built the porch with the guys not long ago. It was better then the front porch! The porch went down to the driveway and had a picnic table on it and a sunroof right above the picnic table. From the stairs, you could see the city across the river. I loved going out there at night when it rained and listened to the water pound against the window and watching the lighting flash over the city. Chris would hold my hand and let me lean against him, snuggling with him in his over sized sweatshirt. The car brake lights would come on and go off almost in a pattern. I snuggled closer to Chris and just listened and watched. Nothing was better.
�Chrissy,� Crystal called from the living room. �We have to get this done before the guys come back here.�
I was preparing my favorite recipe, Spaghetti. All the guys were coming over and going to eat dinner with us. Chris had no idea what was going on. The guys took him to a club and Crystal was going to call Lance and let him know when to come back. The girls were upstairs sleeping on our bed and we were just putting the finishing touches on the house and cake.
�I think we�re finally done,� Crystal said. �I am going to call Lance. It will give us enough time to set the table.�
�Okay,� I said. �Go ahead and call. I have to go check on the kids and make sure that they are okay.�
�Cool,� Crystal said as she picked up the phone and began to dial his number. �Stephanie might have to be changed so I will be right upstairs to do that so you don�t have to.�
�It�s okay,� I said. �I would love to change her for you.�
�Are you sure,� Crystal asked walking upstairs behind me with the portable phone in her hand. �I will do it.�
�Crystal,� I said. �I need you to go in the bathroom and look on the back of the toilet and tell me what you see.�
�Okay,� Crystal said breaking away from me as we got to the top of the stairs. �I see a plus sign. Chrissy are you...?�
�YES,� Chrissy screamed. �Mom�s gonna have a baby!�
Crystal ran into the room and gave me a huge hug.
�I have to go put this in that box that I have been saving for daddy,� I said to Danielle who was sitting on the bed.
