�Yeah, Baby,� Alexander said.
�How are we going to tell Sunn and Nick about the baby?� He looked at her. �They have theirs to deal with and then Kevin and Venus�s on top of it. I don�t know how.�
�Neither do I.�
�And now they got Caroline and Tyler.�
�Yeah, but they�re good little kids. They sleep most of the time.� Destiny didn�t say anything. �This is bothering me just as much as it�s bothering you, but we can�t ignore it. They�re going to find out soon enough whether it�s from us or not. I�d personally feel better if it came from us.�
�So would I.�
�The question is how and when?�
�Exactly.�
�But I don�t know.�
�Me either.�
�We�re going to have to do it before you start showing.�
She nodded. �But I am beginning to show, Alex, but just a little though.�
�Yeah.�
�Maybe I�ll tell Sunn tomorrow.�
�Then I�ll tell Nick. We can do it together.�
�Sounds good.�
�I just hope they don�t flip out on us.�
�That wouldn�t be nice to see.�
�No it won�t.� They sat in silence a moment watching the TV. �So��
�Any names picked out yet?�
�Right now I only have one of each; Jayden Scott and Kendra Lee.�
�Ok. I got Cameron Jayden and Alyssa Mae.�
�They�re nice.�
�Because I thought of them.� They laughed. �Yours are nice too.�
�Thanks.� Alexander nodded. �March will be here before ya know it.�
�Yes it will.�
�So what did ya�s decide.�
�We�re going to tour. Our management�s going to work out our schedule and let us know.�
�Cool.�
�We want to start by September, but ain�t sure if it�ll happen.�
�Whenever�s cool with me. Just as long as you�re with me when I have this baby.�
�I will be�hopefully.�
�Yeah hopefully.� They laughed.
�I love you.�
�I love you more.�
�Doubt it.� They laughed and he kissed her.

�Hey, Sweets,� Nickolas said sitting beside Sunshine on the sofa. �Are you all right?�
�Yeah,� Sunshine said. �Just watching the twins. They have Howie�s eyes and Jo�s nose.�
�I guess so.� Nickolas put his arms around her and she rested herself in them. �Maybe we�re not ready for kids anyway.�
�Why?�
�There�s so much ya have to do to take care of them. I can hardly take care of myself half the time let alone a baby or two.�
�I think when ya have your own kids it�s a lot easier and different ya know. Ya grow up faster.�
�Maybe so. I ain�t going to change my mind though about our decision.�
�I wasn�t going to say anything.�
�I know. I was just letting ya know.�
�Alright.� She looked at him and he kissed her, as the doorbell rang.
�Every time.� Sunshine got up and walked to the door. �It�s probably Pollyanna coming for her niece and nephew.�
�Maybe.� Sunshine looked through the peephole and then opened the door to Pollyanna. �Hey.�
�Hey,� Pollyanna said stepping inside. �Hey, Nick.�
�Hey, Polly,� Nickolas said as Sunshine closed the door. �The little ones are lying there falling asleep.�
�Then I�m going to take them home and put them to bed,� Pollyanna said picking up Tyler. �Were they good?�
�Yeah,� Nickolas said. �Little angels.� He smiled at Sunshine, as she bent down and picked up Caroline.
�How�s Howie?� Sunshine asked.
�He�s all right,� Pollyanna said. �It wasn�t anything major. He got hit from behind and sent into another guy. He was stopped so nothing serious. Just some whiplash and a few sore ribs.� She got Tyler ready to leave while Sunshine got Caroline ready. �He also hit his head on the steering wheel so they�re going to keep him a couple days for observation. He said not to worry about him though, because he�s perfectly fine.�
�That�s good,� Nickolas said.
�Howie worries about others more than himself,� Pollyanna said.
�Except when it came to me,� Sunshine said and Nickolas looked at her. �But that�s over and I don�t care anymore.�
�I�m glad,� Nickolas said walking over to his wife.
�O got you and I don�t need anyone else,� Sunshine said and Nickolas kissed her as Pollyanna smiled.
�You two are just so cute,� Pollyanna said and Sunshine and Nickolas looked.
�Ya think so?� Nickolas asked.
�Definitely. Everyone can see it when they look at you.� Sunshine and Nickolas smiled. �I seen it the first time I saw ya�s together.� They just looked at her. �Maybe I should go.� They chuckled and she put Tyler in the car seat. �Get these two home so they can sleep.�
�Yeah,� Nickolas said taking Caroline from Sunshine. �They need their sleep.� He put the baby in the other car seat.
�Yes they do,� Pollyanna said. �Well I�m going to go. It is after nine and I�m sure you got things to do tomorrow.�
�Do you need any help?� Nickolas asked.
�Nope,� Pollyanna said. �I got everything under control.�
�Ya sure?� Sunshine wanted to know. �Nick can help.�
�Yeah.�
�Alright,� Nickolas said as he walked to the door with Pollyanna and he opened it up. �We�ll see ya later then.�
�See ya,� Sunshine said as Pollyanna walked out and Nickolas closed the door. He looked at Sunshine as she laid on the sofa.
�You alright?� Nickolas questioned concerned walking to her.
�Of course,� Sunshine assured him, as he sat beside her. �Why wouldn�t I be?�
�Were you cool with the twins being here?�
�Yeah. It was fine, Baby.� She smiled. �Just because we�re not going to have our children I can�t ignore everyone else�s ya know. I have to deal with what�s going on.�
�We both do, Sweets.� She grinned. �We�ll get through it though.� He leaned down and kissed her. �Because I love you and you love me.�
�Mmm�how do you know?�
�Because I do.� He smiled and kissed her again. �Nothing�s going to change the way I feel about you.�
�What if it�s someone instead of something?�
�It ain�t going to be someone either. I guarantee you that.�
�I hope so.�
�Like who would try to take you from me? Everyone in the universe knows how much I love you.�
�Not everyone.�
�If they�ve been living under a rock the past, like, six years.� She just looked at him and sat up. �What is it?� She shook her head. �You�re still not worried about, um, uh, Sapphire are you?�
�Do I have to be?�
�Of course not. She�s been out of my life for, like, the past eight years. I love you and always will. You complete me and are the rest of my life. I ain�t going to change my mind anytime soon.� He gave her a reassuring smile. �I�m hoping you can trust me.�
�I always do.�
�Alright then.� She smiled and kissed him then turned on the TV. �I�m going to go shower. Do you want anything before I do?�
�Just you.� She smirked. �I just want to lay here in your arms and not worry about anything.�
�But I want to shower.�
�Later.� She kissed him.
�You can join me.� He grinned and kissed her neck. �It�s been awhile since we shared the shower.�
�It hasn�t been that long.�
�Long enough for me.�
�You�re crazy.�
�Crazy for you.� He kissed her and went to take off her shirt, but she stopped him. �What?�
�Don�t you get enough?�
�Of what? You? Of course not.� He went to kiss her, but she got up.
�I�m talking about sex.� He just looked at her. �You want it everyday.�
�Well you make me so horny.� He grinned, but she shook her head.
�But I ain�t your sex goddess or whatever the hell you think of me as.�
�I think of you as my wife, because that�s what you are. You�re the love of my life.� She just looked at him. �Where is this behavior coming from?�
�I�m sorry alright. I just��
�Is this something Brad told you?�
�What? Of course not. Why do you always think its Brad�s fault when I accuse you of something?�
�Perhaps it�s because you never accuse me of anything until after you spend time with him.�
�If he says anything to me about you I just ignore him.�
�You expect me to believe that?�
�Yeah.�
�Well I don�t.�
She looked at him. �I thought your jealousy of Brad was over. I guess I was way wrong.� She walked from him.
�Sunnie, it is over.�
�No it�s not, Nick.� She stopped from going back the hall and looked at him. �I trust you and I always will, but you have to get over your jealousy towards Bradley. We�re just friends and that�s it. That�s as far as it goes. Nothing or no one will ever change what we got or come between it. I promise you. You just have to get over your jealousy. In the beginning it was cute but it ended up coming between us once and I don�t want it to happen again.� She began going back the hall, but stopped and looked at her husband again. �Brad said nothing about you treating me like your sex goddess or whatever.� He looked at her. �It was Aaron.� She went back the hall and Nickolas just stood there.
