“Chicken out of what?”
“Learning our child’s sex.” She leaned in and whispered. “He thinks it can feel any action going on in there.”
I laughed and Jase looked over and rolled his eyes.
“He’s been a pain in the ass since he found out. I hope when you and Xavier do this he’s not like Jase.”
“Baby I can hear you. You don’t whisper all that quietly.” Jase scowled at her and she turned around and rolled her eyes.
I looked back at Jase and he was smiling adoringly at her.
“I don’t think he wants kids and I am nowhere near ready.”
She pointed to Bella and Xavier on the floor playing Barbie’s. “He’ll do just fine.”
“We have our own crazy thing going. In just three weeks I am in so deep it should scare the hell out of me, but it doesn’t.”
Carly took my hand and we sat on the couch. Bekah and Tara sat with us.
“The Steel boys are all alike.”
“I heard that,” Jase glanced over at Carly.
“I wasn’t trying to whisper Jase.” She tried to scowl and then laughed.
I looked over just as he pulled his tongue back in his mouth.
I snapped my head back around hoping they hadn’t seen me notice that exchange.
I looked at Carly and she laughed. “I love that thing.”
“Zandor’s tongue is pierced too.” Bekah smiled.
We all looked at Tara, “Nope he likes his ink. I have nipple piercings though.”
“I assume he likes those a lot huh?” I laughed.
“He loves me, every part of me. He is; I love that man so much and he feels exactly the same.” Her smile was so bright and sincere
They all looked at me I blushed. “He has a lot going on.”
They all laughed.
I felt his hand wrap around the back of my neck and he kissed my head, “What’s going on over here?”
“Taelyn says you have a lot going on. She won’t say what though.”
“Jase has a lot going on too that’s all you get. Come on Irish, let’s play some Barbie’s.”
“Penis, definitely penis,” Carly laughed. “You met the Prince huh?”
I laughed, “And his friends.”
“Alright you, let’s go.” He pulled me up.
“Wait what’s that means his friends?” Carly asked.
“Ask your husband,” Xavier laughed.

After Barbie’s and a very entertaining dinner Jase and Carly took Bella in the kitchen.
“Are you serious?” She yelled and laughed.
They came out holding hands. Jase sat down and pulled Carly on his lap.
“Little Bell has an announcement to make.”
She walked out beaming and waved a picture in the air. “It’s a girl, and a boy.”
Jase spit his drink all over the table.
“Carly.” He growled.
“What? I didn’t know. Oh dear God.” She closed her eyes and held her hand to her heart.
“Are you okay Baby?” Jase rubbed her back.
Bella laughed. “You got a girl Daddy, meaning me. The one in Momma Carly’s tummy is a boy. Look right here it says penis and testicles.”
The room fell silent and then Zandor, Cyrus, and even Xavier started laughing.
Bella laughed a big belly laugh, “Penis and--.”
“We get it Little Bell,” Jase laughed. “Get over here so I can squeeze you.”
She skipped towards him laughing and hugged him tight. “I’m still the Princess Daddy.”
“You are.” He looked up and winked at Carly. “Love you Baby.”
“Well good luck with a boy,” Momma Joe laughed and raised her glass of wine.
