Wesley's POV

I got home late from the studio, and when I walked in, like I expected, all of the lights were off. I opened Michael's nursery to make sure he was sound asleep before I went and crashed. He was peacefully drifted off, so I slipped my shoes off and headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I turned the light on and looked over at the dining table. Saige was sleeping with her head in her hands laying upon it.

"Saige? Baby, you can go to bed. You didn't have to wait for me," I whispered, rubbing her back to get her up. She slowly opened her eyes, obviously confused as to what was happening.

"Wait, Wesley," she murmured half asleep.

"What, babe?"

"I have something to tell you. Please don't be mad," she sleepily whispered.

"Why would I be mad? I'm not going to be mad, I love you," I chuckled, but I was nervous as to what was coming. I didn't know what to expect. She went and opened one of the cupboards and pulled a box out. She pulled a small stick out of the box and hesitantly held it towards me. I studied it very closely, making sure I was reading correctly.

"Oh my gosh, Saige! This is fantastic news, right?"

"I was hoping you'd say that," she smiled.

"By the way, Mariana is pregnant too," she blurted out. I dropped my jaw to the floor.

"Both of you are pregnant? This isn't some kind of prank?"

"No, I promise it's all real," she chuckled.

"Man, does Drew know?"

"Not yet, but I didn't want you to find out as late as you did last time, so I decided to let you know as soon as I found out. That's why I was trying to stay up," she chuckled to herself.

"I think it would've been pretty obvious this time around, seeing as we live together," I reminded jokingly. I put the tests back in the box and engulfed Saige in my arms.

"Let's go up to bed," Saige mumbled into my chest. I started walking away, and Saige started whining. I looked back over, and she was holding her arms out like a little kid wanting to be held. I chuckled and shook my head.

"You're unbelievable" I laughed. I walked back over to her and waited for her to jump into my arms. She attached herself to my torso and laid her head on my shoulder. I carried her up the stairs and gently placed her on our bed. She smiled when I let go of her.

"I love you, babe, and my baby," I smiled, kissing her head and touching her belly.

"I'm so glad you're as excited as I am," Saige smiled at me.

"Why wouldn't I be? I mean we did know there was this possibility when we did it in the Bahama's. I just wonder which time it's from," I chuckled.

"I wanna say it was the night on the cruise ship," she giggled. I sighed and looked out the window.

"Well, are we going to make a doctors appointment to see how far along you are, and just to make sure everything's okay before you get too far along?"

"Yeah! I'll call tomorrow. I know we didn't plan very well with your music and everything, but it'll all be okay, alright? I don't ever want you to feel like you don't do enough or aren't around enough because you do so much for Michael and I, Wes. I want you to be happy and do what you love," Saige sincerely told me.

"That really means a lot coming from you, babe. All I want to do is make your and Michael's lives easier and amazing. Your guys' support is all I need. But I'm going to be here as much as I possibly can now and later on in the pregnancy because I don't want you to do it alone like you did most of Michael's."

"That wasn't your fault. It doesn't matter anymore, though. We're here now, married, in love, happy, what more could we ask for?"

"Yeah, it's crazy, huh?"

"Very crazy," Saige agreed. We had just turned the light off when we heard something from another room. Saige stiffened beside me and instantly gave me a confused look. I slowly got out of bed and grabbed a bat that was in our closet.

"Stay right here, okay?" I told Saige. She nodded as I closed our door. I crept along the hallway and opened all of the doors. Nothing was in sight, so I turned the light on in the living room. No one was downstairs either. The last room I had to check was the nursery. I'm sure Michael would have been crying if something happened in there. When I walked back upstairs to his room, I heard footsteps coming from inside of it. I slowly opened the door, only to be met by Michael giggling.

"What in the world is going on in here?" I asked Michael. He grabbed onto my leg, and I scooped him up in my arms.

"Saige, get in here," I hollered down the hall. She was there in seconds, looking concerned. I chuckled and motioned towards Michael.

"He climbed out of his crib by himself, Saige," I told her shockingly. She opened the door all the way and looked around the whole room.

"What the hell? How?!"

"I was asking myself the same thing," I chuckled. We put Michael back in his crib and raised the side of it to a higher setting. I can't believe he can climb out of his crib already. We tucked him back in and got him to sleep with a little singing.

"Well, now that that's over, goodnight, I love you," I told Saige, giving her a peck lips before shutting the light off.

"And I love you too," she mumbled, engulfing herself in the blankets. I heard her breaths slow down, and soon I found my own doing the same.
