�Maybe on our second honeymoon.� She smiled and Little Aaron grabbed her leg. She looked down at him then picked him up. �Do you really want to leave him here?�
�It�s only going to be for a week and mom insisted on taking care of him for us. Besides, it is customary for the bride and groom to have a honeymoon without any interruptions. I don�t think Little Aaron will even know we�re not around once Grandma Jane starts spoiling him.�
�Yeah, but I don�t want to leave him here. He�s my baby.� Aaron just looked at her, as Little Aaron laid his head on his mothers shoulder. �But if you want to have a honeymoon with no interruptions then I guess I can live without him for a week.�
�He�ll be in good hands.� She nodded and kissed Little Aaron�s head. �Plus Nick and DJ will be around.�
�All the more to take him with.� She smiled and Little Aaron quickly lifted his head and held out his arms. �What do you want?� He kept reaching behind her and she turned and looked to see Nickolas. �You don�t need Uncle Nick.� Little Aaron kept reaching and started crying. �Ok, ok.� MyKenna and Aaron walked over to Nickolas and he looked at them.
�What?� Nickolas asked and Little Aaron continued reaching for him.
�You have a fan,� MyKenna said and Little Aaron stopped crying and smiled.
�Right,� Nickolas said putting his cup down and taking Little Aaron from MyKenna. �Hey, Buddy.�
�So when are you and DJ having kids?� MyKenna questioned. �Little Aaron�s going to need some cousins.� He just gave her a weird look.
�Are we married?� Nickolas questioned in return.
�Well, no,� MyKenna began, �but people have kids when they�re not married. It�s the 21st century so it doesn�t really matter anymore.�
�Ask me again in a year,� Nickolas said. �If we don�t have any by then.� He smiled and looked at Little Aaron. �Ask mommy when she�s going to give you a little brother or sister and tell her to stop harassing Uncle Nick.�
�Ask me again in a year,� MyKenna said and Nickolas glared at her.
�It�s your and DJ�s turn,� Aaron said.
�Our turn for what?� Dakota asked and they looked at her.
�They want to know when we�re going to have kids,� Nickolas replied and Dakota started laughing.
�That�s a funny one,� Dakota said.
�Why is it?� MyKenna asked. �You�d make good parents.�
�Maybe we can�t have any,� Dakota said.
�I might believe that one,� MyKenna said. �You were pregnant before. Remember a few years back.�
�I try not to remember,� Dakota said, as Nickolas put his arm around her. �I think about the time after that horrible year I had.� She grinned and they just looked at her. �There�s just been some complications after the whole miscarriage thing, no biggy. We�re working on it though.�
�So you�ve been trying to have a kid or two,� Aaron said smiling. �I know you have.�
�We weren�t trying,� Nickolas said. �It happened a couple times.�
�And you kept it to yourselves yet again,� MyKenna said shaking her head.
�It was no one�s business,� Dakota said. �And I like spoiling Little Aaron.� She smiled and looked at Little Aaron, who was now resting his little head on Nickolas. �I think someone�s all partied out.� They looked at Little Aaron. �Ain�t that the cutest thing? Babies are so cute when they�re sleeping. Ya know, he kind of looks like Nicky when he�s sleeping.� They thought about what she said then Dakota, Nickolas, and Aaron looked at MyKenna. �Something you�re not sharing?�
�What?� MyKenna asked. �I did not have Nick�s spawn. That kid is Aaron�s through and through.�
�He better be,� Nickolas said.
�He is,� MyKenna said. �Why would I lie about it?�
�Because you don�t like Nick,� Dakota said. �So why not pass it off as Aaron�s.� MyKenna just glared at her. �I�m just kidding, but he does look like Nicky when he�s sleeping.�
�Whatever,� Aaron said. �He looks like his daddy.�
�There�s something the kid can be proud of,� Nickolas smirked.
�You�re so mean,� Dakota said.
�I�m the older brother so it�s my job,� Nickolas said.
�And it�s my wedding day,� Aaron reminded him.
�So what,� Nickolas said. �You�re going to be a million times worse on mine anyway.� Aaron smiled.
�Is he sleeping?� Jane asked.
�Yeah,� Aaron replied.
�Then give him here,� Jane said. �I�ll take him so you kids can have some fun.�
�It�s ok,� Nickolas said. �I got everything under control.�
�He�s just getting in some practice,� Aaron said and Jane looked at Nickolas and Dakota.
�I thought it looked like you put on a few extra pounds,� Jane said to Dakota and she just looked at her shocked.
�Mom!� Nickolas said. �We�re not having a kid and DJ did not put on a few extra pounds.� Jane just looked at him. �Apologize to her.�
�It�s ok, Nick,� Dakota said.
�No it�s not,� Nickolas said.
�Yes it is,� Dakota said. �Don�t worry about it, Mrs. C.�
�Give me my grandson,� Jane said, as she took Little Aaron from Nickolas. �You kids have some fun and enjoy yourselves.� They looked at her and she walked away.
�I didn�t appreciate mom saying you were fat,� Nickolas said.
�She didn�t say she was fat,� MyKenna said. �She just said that it looked like she put on a few extra pounds.� Nickolas shook his head. �And it kind of does look like it.�
�I�m still the same size as I was at my last doctor�s appointment,� Dakota said. �I didn�t gain anything.�
�Your face looks a little chubbier,� MyKenna said.
�She looks as good as she always does,� Aaron said. �I don�t see anything different about her.�
�Thank you,� Dakota said.
�Are you sure you didn�t put on any extra weight?� MyKenna asked. �Maybe the doctor lied to ya.�
�I just checked this morning,� Dakota said. �And I can�t believe I�m hearing this from you of all people. You�re supposed to be my friend.�
�I am,� MyKenna said.
�Then shut up,� Dakota said. �You keep saying I look like I put on weight I�ll start starving myself.�
�Whatever,� MyKenna said.
�Oh go�� Dakota began glaring at her, �go�go start your honeymoon early.� She grabbed Nickolas� hand. �C�mon.� She glared at MyKenna one last time and she and Nickolas walked away.
�She�s so funny,� MyKenna said. �She gets so ticked at the littlest things.�
�Ya know,� Aaron started, �that idea about starting our honeymoon early wasn�t such a bad thought, ya know.� MyKenna looked at him. �What do you think?�
�What do I think? I think that�I love you.� She gave him a little kiss. �And whatever you want on your wedding day then you shall get it.� Aaron smiled.
�No wonder I love you so much.� She smiled and kissed him.
