Y/n pov
I pull into Roberts driveway and laugh, seeing Rose chase him around with a hose. Rob is running in circles while Rose has her head thrown back in laughter as she chases after him. Scarlett pulls in right behind me and I open her door for her, and her hands immediately tangle with mine once she's on the ground.
"Mama!!mommy!!!" Rose shouts turning towards us
"Woah little lady! Point the hose at Grandpa Robert. I do not want to get wet!" Scarlett freezes and hopes rose listens. Surprisingly she does and just drops the hose and runs over to us. She runs right into Scarlett's arms and I wraps my arms around them both.
"How was the doctor? Are you okay?" Rose asks
"I'm okay. Actually, do you want to know why I went to the doctor and mama came with me?" Scarlett says and Roses eyebrows raise before she says "yes!" Excitedly.
"Let's go inside, im kind of hungry" Scarlett says looking at me.
Robert catches up to us, out of breath, and hears what Scarlett says. "Susan's making a late lunch now. We were supposed to just water the flowers for her but that didn't happen did it miss trouble" he says looking at a smiling Rose.
We all walk inside and greet Susan who has an assortment of different wraps and a salad. I remember I left my little gifts in the car which is the whole reason we are here. When Scarlett told me she was pregnant I started thinking of how we'd tell everyone. I didn't know I'd tell Lizzie spontaneously while she gave birth but that happened. But for Robert and Susan I knew I wanted to get them just a little something to show how much they mean to me and Rose and Scarlett and will mean to our new little one. After running out to the car giving Scarlett a look, I come back inside seeing everyone at the table waiting for me.
"Sorry sorry" I pant being out of breath.
"Kid sit down before you have a heart attack." Robert says but catches what he says and his eyes widen. "I'm sorry I didn't—"
"Relax I'm fine. You can joke like that, what am I? Made of glass?" I say and the atmosphere kinda changes and I close my eyes regretting how that came out. I didn't mean for it to sound snarky and I truly want to joke about things like that without anyone feeling bad. I sigh but before I can talk rose does.
"No mama, you're made of bones and skin." Rose states and for some reason everyone just bursts out laughing.
"You're right flower, thanks for letting them know" I say and wink at the cutest little girl ever. "So Scarlett and I have been keeping a little secret from you guys." I say and see Robert head snap up from his plate in interest. Scarlett hands the three of them the little bags I brought in and they all just stare at the bags.
"Are you guys just going to stare at it or open it? Rose?" Scarlett asks looking at them.
"Is it one of those bags that explode confetti on you when you open it cause I don't like those" Robert says
"You've never gotten something like that" Susan says
"Yeah because I don't like them" Robert bickers back
"Okay child, let's open it at the same time?" I interrupt and he smiles at me
"Sure kid. Whatever you want." He says
"Okay ready Rosie? One...two...three" I say and rose rips into her back while Susan and Robert watch her. I roll my eyes seeing them just watching her but I guess they want to see her reaction too. She pulls out a white tshirt that Scarlett folded really well so you can't see any letters. She unfolds it and holds it up so she can see the front.
"Big....sis—oh my goodness!!! Is this really true!?" Rose reads the shirt and jumps for joy once she realizes what she's reading. Susan and Roberts face turn pale and their eyes widen.
"Wait...wait..." Robert says and he looks at Susan. They stare at each other for a minute then rip open their bags. They both gasp and while I see the tears brewing in Susan's eyes, Robert has a big huge goofy grin as he looks at what's inside his bag. Scarlett and I found beautiful matching mugs that both say grandma and grandpa on each. As I look at both of them as my adoptive parents, especially Robert, I'd love for them to be involved in our kids life just like they are with Rose. Maybe even more.
"Y/n, Scarlett, wow-" Robert says
Susan turns to me and Scarlett and wraps us in a hug congratulating us and hugging us tight. Robert gets up and hugs Scarlett. Then makes his way to me and hugs me tight.
"I'm so proud of you. You've been working really hard and this next chapter is going to be so exciting. Congratulations." He whispers in my ear as he hugs me. I feel the emotions coming on and when I look at Scarlett's teary face I break down in Roberts arms. I hold onto him, accepting this overwhelming feeling of joy and hug him tight. I've never had a family, and this is mine now. It's a different feeling or thought but I love it.
"Mama, happy tears or sad tears?" Rose asks me.
"Happy tears baby" I say pulling away from Robert and scooping Rosie up. "Do you know what that shirt means?" I ask her.
"It means mommy is going to have a baby, right?" She asks
"You're correct. But it also means something else." I say
"Like what mama?" She says and my heart flutters hearing her call me that again. It's just so surreal.
"It means there's going to be a little rugrat that looks up to you. So you have to always be a good role model for them" I say
"I can do that! I was role model of the month last year" she says with a huge smile.
"The best role model" Scarlett says which makes her smile even bigger. "When will they be here? Is it a boy or a girl? Oh I hope it's a girl!" She squeals.
"I'm due may 18th. And we're not sure what they are yet." Scarlett says which makes Susan turn to her asking a million more questions like how she's feeling, what is she craving and if we have any names picked out. Which we don't, like at all.
Robert shakes me from my thoughts when his hand is placed on my shoulder. I notice that Scarlett and Susan have moved to the backyard, with Rose and it's just me and him.
"You okay kiddo?" He says looking happy into my eyes.
"I am. I honestly was just thinking how we dont have any names picked yet" I say with a laugh.
"Susan and i didn't decide on a name until our girl was born. We had a couple that we liked but when we saw her, we knew" he says "you will figure it out. You have a lot of time" he says with a smile.
"Thanks. I hope you like the mug" I say truly hoping he likes it. He's a very hard man to shop for since he loves fancy things but I knew this would mean lot to him.
"Are you kidding!? I'm going to only drink every beverage I have out of it" he says which makes me chuckle.
"Good, you better. There's no one I'd rather have that title of grandpa for our kids. I'm so thankful for you" I say and mean every word I say.
"I'm honored. And I'll always be here for them. And you, especially you" he says with a smile before we head outside together. The rest of the night is spent with us talking about the cool ideas Scarlett has for a nursery and we answer a lot of silly questions Rose has. I'm glad we got to tell them together but this is probably going to be the longest thing I've had to wait for ever. I'm so used to going out and getting what I need or want right then and there. This is going to take forever!
