Alyssa woke up to the sound of pans banging in the kitchen and familiar voices. She scratched her eyes and turned to her side to see Steph nowhere to be found. She gave herself one good stretch before admiring the ring on her left finger. Then, she smiled to herself and proceeded to get up to get ready for whatever was going on downstairs.
Being deep into her 8th month of the pregnancy, Alyssa was all about loose shirts and yoga pants. & So, that's exactly what she grabs to put on and ties her hair before heading downstairs.
Honestly, the house Steph bought for the family is huge. Steph always jokes around about making a map of the house because Alyssa still finds herself getting lost in their own house. But she makes it work. With or without a map.
"Damn, about time, preggo." Sheri says as they all catch a glimpse of her coming into the kitchen.
"No, no. It is too damn early for that." Alyssa fires back as Sheri laughs and starts rubbing her belly.
"It's damn near about to be lunch time." Steph says, wrapping his arms around her waist and planting a small kiss on her neck.
"What're you guys up to?"
"Finishing touches on the baby shower for tomorrow." Klay adds as him, HB and Dray continue to sort through the decorations to begin putting them up for tomorrow.
"Well, finishing touches on your baby shower for tomorrow."
"Nah uh, Sheri. You said you wanted to plan everything so don't come over here with all that sass." Alyssa chuckles. "I didn't even want a baby shower."
"Didn't even want a baby shower?" Steph asks, looking at her weirdly. "Come on, babe. You know you wanted to flaunt that belly of yours." She chuckles as she takes a seat on the stool.
"I guess. But this belly is getting too heavy. I need these twins to be out."
"Aye, I think between me, Klay and HB. I'ma be the better Uncle."
"No, you'll be the corrupt uncle." HB adds. "You'll teach those twins all the wrong things."
"Yeah, you'll be that uncle who holds a Hennessy bottle in one hand and one twin in the other." Klay says, making everyone laugh. "Pose for a picture while you're at it."
"Or pose with a Hennessy bottle with the twins in his presence in general." Steph adds.
"Man." Dray smacks his lips as he stands up to begin with the decorations. "That aint right ya'll."
"Real question is, would you even be able to tell the two apart?" Klay asks as they walk away.
"Don't act like you'd be any better at knowing." Dray fires back.
"Baby, I got your plate ready. It went down in the kitchen today."
"What'd you make?"
"More like what did we make." Sheri said laughing as she continued to write down a list of things for tomorrow. "Damn near burnt the first pancake he tried making."
"I didn't burn it, it just got a 'lil crispy on the edges. That's all." He places a plate in front of his fiancé.
"Oh my god." She says, digging into her strawberry-topped pancakes with bacon and eggs on the side.
"Damn, chew for a minute. Please."
"Thats what the twins are for." She says as Steph laughs and rubs her back.
"Okay, so pretty much everything is set for tomorrow. The guys and I will be putting up decorations so we don't have to do much for tomorrow. Food will be picked up. Uhh.."
