At three months, Suze had already grown a small round belly with an outer belly button that was thought to be cute by Suze's mother, Marie, and Stanley's mother, Beth Hamilton. They were two of the people who stayed around the house to help with her pregnancy while Stanley was gone. The rest included, Sophie, her sister, and Miranda, her best friend, and now sister-in-law. Even when Suze argued with them and said that she didn't want to interrupt their social life and be a burden, they refused and it lead to Beth letting Suze live with her, Miranda, and Beth's husband, Edward, in their five-story mansion.

      Right now at five months, twenty weeks to be exact, Suze's stomach had doubled; more like tripled her stomach size at three months. That was one of the reasons why Suze liked to jog around the park which Edward disagreed with. He didn't want her daughter-in-law to get hurt and damage her pregnancy and George completely agreed with him. You could tell that Edward and George became great friends from the start.

       "Suze, how many times have I told you that I will do the cleaning around here?" Beth said for the fourth time in the row after spotting Suze sweeping the living room. "You make it seem like I'm the dirty guest and you're the grumpy house owner," Beth joked.

"It's nothing, Mrs. Hamilton," Suze assured her. "It's the least I could do since you let me live with your family in this wonderful home of yours."

"Call me Beth, darling and you're too sweet," Beth replied with a chuckle. "You're family now and family always sticks together. I'm not going to let my daughter stay in a house alone, waiting for a husband to arrive. What kind of woman do you think I am?"

"A very kind one, Beth." Suze answered and swept the last dirty corner by the 50” inch flat screen TV.

"Once again, Suze, you're too sweet," Beth complimented.

"And they say that flattery gets you nowhere," Suze muttered.

"Pish, posh!" Beth giggled. "Flattery is a win-win! You get what you want and the other one feels happy about themselves. Hey, wait a minute! I see what you're trying to do! Give me that broom, young lady!"

Suze sighed, and handed her mother-in-law the broom. She has been bored around the house even with people visiting her. Her step-father, her father-in-law, and her husband had agreed on making Suze take a break from working as a prosecuting lawyer until after her delivery. She hated not being able to do her job, and hated the thought of clients who needed her help. She can't help but admit that she is a workaholic and that she had been trying to occupy her time by working around the mansion, but of course she always gets caught by the woman of the house.

"You know you're smart, but not smart enough to get past me," Beth commented, and Suze smiled warmly in return. She knew that Beth cared about her health and her grandchild's health and wanted nothing more than the both of them to be alright after the delivery which made Suze love her even more.

 "Hey, people!" someone shrieked. "Your lives are about to get even better because I've got news!" Suze and Beth knew who that person was. Only one person knew how to shriek like that: Miranda.

Suze plopped backwards onto the sofa, and Beth took the remote to change the channel from cartoons to the Seven News Weather Channel. Beth wanted to know what the temperature would be like tomorrow because she was going to be helping someone plan a wedding because she is a wedding planner herself. In fact, she was the one who helped Suze plan her wedding.
