"I think you need to give it a while..maybe wait a couple years and Lke might change his mind love.."She promised "Gracies only two..and now your pregnant again."She rubbed the girls arm to calm her.
Luke nodded and took Gracie as he watched him open it. Nikki smiled "Hey dad."She hugged him "We want to steal our son back.."
Kehlani sighed some, and just nodded weskly giving a small dmile ad dhe nodddd to dhow she was lidtenjng. "Yeah i hope so... But i hsve a feelkng we are havjng boy this time... Donyou think Lukr will br happy?" shr questions grntly anxioudly.
Rakeimgrinnef hugging her bsck before telling her to go into thr kitchen. Hr turned bsck yo Luke. "So tell me noe... Sre you okay?"
"I hope you have a boy"She replied "I think things will all work out."She reassured as Luke sighed "She wants four kids..Im not ready for that..I only wanted one and now I feel like..If I say no im an asshole if I say yes its against my wishes ya know?"He said quietly.
Nikki picked up Cody and walked back to the car after saying bye, since she didn't know the others were here.
Kehlani held onto the wall for support as she felt thr kicks agajn, she let out a littlr groan lulljnv up thr hoodie exposing ghr lsrge bump. "It hurts, ya know... But im judt glsd they sre kickkng."
Rskeim nodded and sjghed some as he looked go Luke. "Wrll maybe you two should just talk about it... Or maybe plan ehen exactly these children are going to be born or if they sre going to be born." he shrugged some, he wasnt good eith advixe.
Ellioy waved some as he walked out. He got jnto thr csr and stsrted fo drive off. " God your sisters bunp is so big... How fsr along is she? "
"You'll be fine. But you are taking a break a few years.."She didn't want her daughter hurt. She breathed some and relaxed.
"I don't know..she knows how I feel. Im just going to be quiet and try to stop stressing.."He sighed and followed Gracie around the room.
Cody smiled, half awake. Nikki sighed "Not sure..she never told me she was pregnant. She just doesn't talk to me anymore..last time I saw her she was at Cody's birth"She replied.
Kehlani just sighed and nodded some wiping her teary eyes. She moved away to sit doen as dhe frlt thr pains agajn. "Yeah... I guess... Oksy...." she murmurred softly looking away.
Rakeim sighed wstching his granddaughter and Lukr walk around the room. "Luke... I think thr best thjng to do is for now, keepbusing protection maybe make Lani take the pill and if you want anynore children plan for maube a child in thr next few yesrs."
Elliot bit hisblip, just wanting Nikki to have people to talk to. Hr sighed some. " Maybe you two should try and talk more... I knoe for a fsct you bith need each ither...
Amelia got her some tea so she wouldn't feel that much pain. "Here this will help"She replied as she sat down with her.
Luke sighed "I might just get a vasectomy. I don't want to talk about it anymore."He moved outside with gracie to the car and waited there.
"Maybe.."Nikki sighed "We are both really busy and stuff.."She ate some more fries.
Kehlani coughed a little, and judt rubbef her bhnp as she gently sippef thr tea. She sighed some as dhe lookef doen to her phinr itbwas a message from Luke. Im gonna stay here for a little bit longer Luke, you csn go do something eith Gracie if you want xshe texted back just knoeing Luke wad overwhelmed and neexed skme time.
Elliot started to est but shrugged skme. He gave a cherky smilr. "Well you have to be there for her birth of the little kne and mshbd you could hsve a little girls trip before then... Ya know, both of you need to like talk."
Luke got it and sighed, he knew he was getting pushed away again but didn't care anymore he took Gracie out all day and took her home around dinner time.
Nikki nodded "I think a girls trip would be best afterwards..shes in pain and stuff."She carried cody and their dinner into their house to go eat.
Kehlani spent thr day eith her mothrr before walkkng back home snd curling up on the sofa. Dhr was jn a tight ball and shaking ehen Luke came back home. Shd had missed him all day and just wanted to hug him but she frlt likr he woulfnt want that.
Elliot nodddd and walked jnside sitting foen st the table ekth a little sigh.
Luke made Gracie dinner before gettin gher in bed. Once done he yawned and stretched and got ready for bed since he was tired.
Nikki helped Cody eat as she ate her little meal. "Bed time I think"She cooed and Cody nodded silently agreeing.
Kehlani got up, she had showered whilst Luke was cooking, she slipped on her bra and some shorts before making her way to the bedroom. She slipped under the covers anxiously as she felt his body under them. "Lukie... Can i cuddle up? Im freezing...." she whispered breath hot on his neck.
Elliot yawned somr softly befote getting up and tidying eveyrthjng away. "Come here Cody, daddy will take you to bed don't worry." he grinned. He csrried him upstaids with a big grin, he kissed him snd gave him a big goodnight before slipping to the bedroom.
Luke yawned "I don't see why you have to keep asking..Im your boyfriend"He replied wrapping an arm around her.
Cody cuddled his dad "Woo yay..do I gets a story?"He asked quietly as he nuzzled his neck. Nikki finished cleaning up and took the trash out before heading up to bed to get ready
Kehlani just crept into his arms still a little panicked and anxious. She just nuzzled into him and gave a weary smile. "I just... I didnt know if... I love you Like okay? I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble and overwhelming you." she said, her voice a light purr as she just snuggled into him more hugging as much of him as she could.
Elliot chuckled and nodded as he gently dropped him onto the bed and picked up a book. He read it to him before kidding his forehead and saying his good night's. He then turned off the light admiring his son for a moment before walking back into his bedroom. He stripped to get ready for bed before slipping under the covers with a little yawn.
Luke was fast asleep as she talked, it wasn't a big deal she always overreacted and thought everylittle thing she did hurt him. It didn't he got over stuff quickly.
Nikki came out the shower and put her nightgown on "Hey..your such a good dad.."She got in beside him and pecked his cheek.
Kehlani sighed some taking a deep breath as she realised he hadn't been listening. He was already fats in. She just gave an anxious giggled just rested her head in his chest and falling asleep cuddled up with him.
Elliot curled up with Nikki and wrapped his arms around her nestling his face into her neck. "Hmm... Hey baby.... I'm exhausted... Just... Sleep..." he mused, within seconds he was asleep.
Four months later Luke was still busy working from home so he could stay caring for Gracie and Lani from time to time. He sat on the sofa with his laptop.
Nikki had been dissapointed when Elliot had said it. Now later down the line she was always busy with work or Cody so they never had time to have dates. She worked in her office/spare room as Cody played on the landing.
Kehlani was nearing the end of her pregnancy now. She was a little late and she was going to be induced soon. She was sat on the sofa by his side her head rested on his shoulder. "So I was thinking since he's going to be here soon... What shall we call out boy? I was thinking Mason... Or Landon. Or maybe Reid. Do you have nay ideas babe?" she mused softly, she smiled as she watched Gracie play.
Elliot was playing with Cody, he grinned some as he picked UP Cody and went to make dinner with him but decided to bake with him to make it fun. He gave a little smile as he set the rice crispie buns into the fridge.
"I like Mason"He replied "Thats a good name.."He relaxed more as he typed. Gracie was busy drawing, she wanted to decorate her brothers room.
Cody loved baking with his dad. He sipped his juice as they were put in the fridge. He still had a weakend immune system so had to rely on meds. He coughed getnly "We see mommy?"He asked.
Kehlani just snuggled into him some and watched their little girl draw. She couldn't really do much because of the cramps but she promised she'd do anything for her family. "So Luke... Have you got everything set up and ready for little Mason then? I have a feeling that he's going to be here any day now" she cooed rubbing the bump.
Elliot was by his side as soon as he coughed and he potted his back comforting an anxious look across his face. He gave a little smile as he held Cody. "Well we will have to see if Mommy is busy... We don't want to disturb her." he smiled taking Cody onto his shoulders as he set off towards the stairs. "I bet mummy will be so happy to see you."
