"We're going to need a bigger house at this rate, Tony."
I snort, shaking my head. We already moved out to the suburbs when Kurt's first sister came along, and I made sure we had more than enough space for everyone. "Our house is just fine, baby."
"You think?"
"I do. Just as long as you're there and I'm there, and we've got the kids, we don't need anything else."
"And Dad around the corner."
I shrug. "Only if he keeps making those donuts. Otherwise I'm gonna have to convince him to move to another part of town."
Libby's Dad and I joke like that all the time, but despite everything that's happened, we're still the best of friends, just like we always have been. Only now we're one big family, and I know that means the world to Libby. As for me, I could never have asked for anything better.
The ultrasound finishes up, and the technician hands us some print outs of our newest baby from the black and white screen while Libby wipes the gel from her belly and I help her up from the table.
Back out in the hall, everyone is waiting for us.
Kurt's standing beside his grandad and every time I see him, I'm taken aback by how much of a man he's turning into. He'll be shooting up like a beanpole soon, and turning into a proper teenager, although he's always going to be respectful of the ladies if I've done the job to bring him up right.
The girls are sitting on the floor playing Go-Fish. Jonas and Liam are playing tag between the chairs and the vending machine and they screech to a halt when we come out.
"What is it? Is it gonna be another boy?"
Melissa wrinkles her nose, clearly unimpressed by the idea and Gretchen, always in total adoration of her older sister, copies the expression far more clumsily. "We don't want another boy. You can tell the stork to switch it, right?"
I laugh, and Libby gives me a long look. "No one's switching anyone. But anyway… You're going to have a little sister. What do you think about that?"
Gretchen squeals, jumping to her feet and clapping her hands together and my heart swells with love for my family. The family that Libby has given me.
Her Dad takes the pictures to show the kids the tiny baby curled up tight in Libby's belly and I turn to my wife, pulling her in close against me for a deep, possessive kiss that suddenly some part of me needs to lay right on her.
"I ever tell you how lucky I am to have you?"
Libby bites her lip, breathless and flushed just like she always does when I show her just how easy it is for her to turn me on. "Only every day."
"Good,” I say. “I'm never gonna stop telling you. Now let's go home. Maybe your Dad can babysit so I can remind you just how well we fit together, huh?"
Libby leans in to kiss me again, up on her toes, and she lowers her voice softly. "You're going to be a daddy again, Tony."
I let out a low, animal rumble of a growl for just her to hear. The thought of that always drives me wild.
"Right. Everybody home. Now."
