babeh
Cassie Walker is seven months pregnant. She's seven months pregnant and horribly irritated. Her husband Jon is avoiding her because she had yelled at him first thing that morning because he had dropped her favorite coffee mug, breaking it against the hardwood floor. She had cried and apologized to him ten minutes later and he had forgiven her, he knew full well that her hormones were going crazy but still he thought it would be better if he put together the babies crib.

Cassie is irritated just because she is. Her feet hurt and she can't wear her favorite t-shirt because it doesn't fit right anymore. The only bright spot in her day is her lamaze class, this being because her best friends happen to be there. Well, they weren't her best friends when she first started lamaze during her third month of pregnancy.

Back then she and Jon had went to the class and she had actually been apprehensive about attending. But Jon told her it would be okay and that she would make friends and he convinced her to stay. She's glad now that he did because that's how she met two of her very best friends. They were also pregnant, duh, they were two girls named Jenny and Krissy.

Right now it was nearly time to go to lamaze and like clockwork Jon showed up downstairs before Cassie even had to call for him. "Am I that predictable?" She asks laughing as he made his way into the kitchen. Jon smiles and shakes his head.

"No, Jenny called me and told me that, and I quote, "You better not make her late like last time because then all the good mats are taken and I can't sit next to her and make fun of the teacher like we usually do."" Jon says and Cassie laughs.

"That sound's like her."

Jon moves up infront of his wife, resting his large hands on his wife's very pregnant belly.

"Did he kick today?" Jon asks, feeling around her stomach for their babies movement.

"Earlier." She anwsers, resting her hands over his. Jon looks disappointed but Cassie doesn't really know why, he's felt their son kick a million or so times. Unlike most couples in their lamaze class, Jon and Cassie knew that they were having a boy. Krissy was firmly against knowing the sex of her baby with her husband Brendon and Jenny wanted to know but her wife Jordan didn't and since Jenny wanted whatever Jordan did that left neither of them knowing.

"Did you get the babies crib put together?" Cassie asks as Jon helps her into her jacket.

"I might have to call Spencer to help me."

"It's a crib, not rocket science." Cassie points out, smiling as her husband helps her put on her flip-flops, wearing all other shoes...and even seeing her own feet has become impossible now.

"See, the thing is that if I mess up the crib, it could be dangerous for the baby. Spence is the only one I trust to help." Cassie nods, hands on her swollen belly. Jon's learned that she'll pretty much agree to anything as long as it means their babies safety.

He walks her to their recently purchased minivan. Jon didn't know why they needed a minivan when they were only having one baby but Cassie insisted so that's what they got. Jon opens the door for his wife and helps her get settled, he's become very overprotective as of late.

Jon turns on the radio as they drive, determined to make their unborn child a fan of his fathers favorite music. Cassie doesn't mind, sits there and hums, one hand resting on her stomach as the other digs around in a bag between their seats. She pulls back, holding a bright blue book in her hands, Jon sighs.

"You brought the book?" He asks, putting on a long suffering tone. The book led to bad, bad things. Cassie shrugs and rests the book on her tummy, a talent she has recently developed.

"I get bored during the car rides." She states, flipping the book open and randomly turning pages. "Besides, our son is going to be born in two months. He'll need a name." Jon sighs, the two of them can agree on pretty much every aspect of their lives. Like, what color to paint the living room, what movie to rent, what to get for dinner but the one they can't seem to agree on is the name of their child.

"I don't think this is a good idea." Jon mumbles but Cassie either doesn't hear him or ignores him, Jon's thinking that it's the latter.

"What about Jasper?" She asks, looking up from the book and at him. Jon shakes his head.

"Sounds like the name of a dog...or an old man."

"Well, what do you like?"

"What about naming him after me? My dad did that to my brother." Jon suggests, Cassie shrugs.

"I'm not really comfortable with naming our child after the person I have sex with." She states and Jon laughs as he makes a turn.

"Please explain."

There's a faint blush rising to his wife's cheeks, you'd think after all this time she wouldn't blush anymore, Jon kind of likes it though. "Well, you know, say we're in bed-"

"I like where this is going." Jon interjects.

"Listen, we're in bed and we're doing our thing you know? Well, I don't really want to like, call out your name and then think of our son. It's creepy." Cassie makes this adorable little face that Jon can't help but smile at.

"Good point, because I do have you being pretty damn vocal."

"Jon! The baby can hear you!" Cassie says softly, resting her hands on either side of her belly, like she's trying to muffle the childs ears.

"He's about eighteen years from even understanding what I'm talking about." Jon laughs. "So, Jonathan's out what else ya got?"

"Mmm." Cassie flips a couple of pages, her fingers pressed up under her chin. "Patrick?"

"We're not naming our son after the lead singer of Fall Out Boy. Besides, didn't you have a cat named Patrick when I first met you?"

"It's a nice name." Cassie argues.

"What else?"

She flips more pages, blue eyes scanning for names that they might like. God knows they've been through this book a million times, highlighting names they like. Now it was just a matter of narrowing down those names.

"Liam?" Cassie asks, lifting her head to gauge his reaction. Jon thinks it over, it's not a terrible name, it's actually pretty nice.

"I think we can put it on the finals list."

"Really?" Cassie has good reason to be surprised, they only have three other names on the finals list.

"Yeah,"

The two of them don't have much more time to talk about names because Jon pulls into the parking lot of the lamaze center. He already parks next to Jenny's maroon vechical, this has become their habit. Krissy and Brendon's silver car is already parked on the other side of Jenny's. They get out and Jon helps his wife, she's grinning like crazy and Jon's starting to think that she's been liking the name Liam for longer than he knew.

Jenny was already sitting on the squishy blue mat by the time Cassie and Jon arrived. "So, you finally got her here on time." The dark haired girl says, leaning back against the sturdy hands of the person behind her. Cassie smiles and takes Jon's hand as he helps lower her down to the mat, he settles behind her, his legs on either side of his wife.

"He was putting together the crib." Cassie says, smiling at the younger girl that she had become very close with. Jenny nodded and gave a little smirk.

"Did he get it done?"

"I'm right here." Jon points out, Jenny ignores him while Cassie shakes her head.

"No, I think we're going to ask Spencer to come over and help."

"Ryan put our crib together." Jenny says as she unfolds her legs, stretching them out. "Right Ry?" She adds, looking back and up at the tall lean man whose sitting behind her. Ryan nods, his large hands steady on Jenny's back.

"God knows you and Jordan would start and get distracted, leaving the crib half finished." He states and Jenny shrugs.

"Where is Jordan?" Cassie asks, she leaning back into Jon's touch as he rubs at her back.

"Oh, she had a work thing, but she promised she'd try to be here." Jenny says, pulling a face as her baby kicks her. "That's why Ryan came with."

See, the thing about Jenny is that Ryan's not her husband, he's not her boyfriend either but he is the father of her baby. See, Jenny is actually a lesbian, married to a woman named Jordan and since she's a lesbian, she can't exactly have kids naturally. Jordan really wanted kids though so they decided to use a sperm donor. Jordan can't have kids so Jenny had to be the one to do it. They decided on Ryan because Jenny used to date him back in high school, he was someone she could trust.

Oh, Jenny, guess what? We got another name for our list." Cassie informs her friend. Jenny's eyes widen.

"Really? Geeze, I never thought you two would agree." Jenny's still sort of watching as Jon gives Cassie like, a full blown back massage and she desperately wishes Jordan were here.

"I think it will be easier once we see him. Than we'll know what to name him." Jon says, rubbing at his wife's shoulders. Cassie sighs and leans back against him, her head to his shoulder.

"I hope he looks like you, Jon." The long haired girl smiles up at her husband.

"Really? Cause I hope he looks like you." Jon is saying, cupping her cheek and pulling off an upside down kiss. Jenny nearly rolls her eyes. Jon and Cassie are definitly that couple that's way too adorable for their own good and all lovey dovey and what not. Jenny can't believe she likes them so much.

"I'm going to puke from the cuteness." Jenny whispers to Ryan. Maybe it's just from the orange juice she had had that morning.

Just then the door to the lamaze class swings open and in walks in another couple. A tall, tall blonde girl and her slightly shorter, black haired husband. Brendon and Krissy.

"More cuteness has arrived." Ryan states and Jenny laughs. Krissy and Brendon were another couple almost like Jon and Cassie expect for how the two of them tend to act like children themselves.

"Damn, we must be late if Cassie and Jon are already here." Krissy teases Jon scoffs.

"We were late one time! One!" Jon says, throwing his hands up in the air. Brendon races over, promptly claiming the mat next to Jon and Cassie, Brendon sort of has an unhealthy obsession with Jon. Krissy makes it to the mat herself because she's independent like that, settling down infront of Brendon.

"How's baby Walker today?" Brendon asks, eyeing Cassie's belly.

"He's excited to be one step closer to having a name." Jon points out and Brendon grins wide.

"Really? You're gonna name him Brendon right? After his favorite new uncle."

"But then Spencer would be jealous. He's been pestering us about naming the baby after him since he found out that I was pregnant." Cassie tells him, Brendon pouts slightly but than Krissy skritches her fingers through Brendon's black hair and he arches and purrs into her touch.

"But he already gets to be the godfather!" The black haired boy says.

"How's baby Urie doing?" Jon asks, ignoring Brendon's complaints and looking over at Krissy. The blonde girl was a very graceful sort of pregnant woman. She rarely complained to them, much to the chargin of Cassie and Jenny who happened to complain quite a bit, Jenny a little more than Cassie.

"He or she is being pretty calm today, I think they enjoy the lamaze classes." Krissy says, folding her hands on her tummy. Brendon pushes his hands over hers and he rubs at her belly.

"Do you need anything?" He asks, hooking his chin over his wife's shoulder.

"Mmm. Some water?" She asks, looking back at him. Brendon nods and in a flash he is gone to the little table across the room, getting his wife some water.

"Anything for my babymama." He says as he goes.

While Brendon is at the table getting water, Jordan finally arrives. Jordan is dark haired, her hair slightly shorter than Jenny's, barely touching her shoulders. She has light eyes and a thin frame. Cassie sometimes see's her as meek, fragile. The girl makes a beeline for her wife and their babydaddy.

"Hey, sorry I'm late. The stupid interns lost my original character sketches." She explains dropping down to her knees in front of Jenny. Leaning forward for a quick kiss as she sets her purse aside. Ryan reliquenches the care of Jenny to Jordan, the slight girl settling behind the pregnant girl.

"It's fine." Jenny says, she has a habit of forgiving Jordan for anything in the world. Jordan smiles as her hands slide up Jenny's back, pressing slightly because their teacher taught them that it relieves pressure on the pregnant girls.

"Hi, Cassie, Krissy." She gives a little nod at the two girls to her left. Cassie smiles and waves back, leans back into Jon's touch and Krissy smiles as well, taking her water from Brendon once he returns.

If Jenny has a sort of 'friendly' banter with Jon than Cassie sort of has one with Jordan. Maybe she's just very overprotective of the girl she had met a few months back.

"How's the baby?" Jordan whispers softly, her eyes are sparkling as she watches Jenny's face. Jenny's grinning wider than Cassie can ever remember seeing, Jordan does that to her.

Wonderful...ah, it's kicking now." Jenny states, eyes alight as she feels around her stomach. Jordan does too, grinning almost as wide as Jenny and Ryan is staring on with a warm expression on his handsome face. "It must love hearing your voice." Jenny cooes, Jordan grins.

Their teacher enters the room, a very flamboyant man named Gabe Saporta. Gabe's their lamaze teacher and he's very entertaining. Today he's decked out in bright yellow pants that leave little to the imagination. A black t-shirt and a hat that would look more fitting on someone from the rap world.

"Alright, my little bambina's. Let's get down to business."

+

After class all three of the girls are hungry so, they decide to go out to eat. Ryan takes off because he actually has business to attend to and Jon's talking to Spencer on the phone, trying to talk him into building the crib.

"I can't wait till little Aladdin or Jasmine is born." Brendon says wistfully, hands once again on Krissy's belly, it seems he can hardly keep his hands off her. Krissy sighs.

"For the last time Bren, we're not naming our child Aladdin." The blonde girl tells her husband.

"Oh come on cricket! We could get him a little puppy named Abu. Or if it's a girl a kitten named Raja."

Krissy turns around so she and Brendon are facing one another, she leans in and presses a kiss to his plush lips, silencing his rambling. Cassie and Jenny are laughing from beside them.

Besides actually learning what sex the baby is, naming seems to be another strong topic for the couples. Cassie's just kind of glad that Jon doesn't have an odd obession with Disney movies.

Cassie was the farthest along in her pregnancy. Seven months, Jenny was five and Krissy six. Cassie would end up having her baby first. It was a little scary having to the first one but now, well, she was mostly just excited to meet the person that she and Jon had created.

"The easy way out of this is to let the person having the baby, name the baby." Jordan states from her position next to Jenny.

"Yeah, it's ripping it's way out of my vagina, at least let me choose the name." Krissy teases.

"I don't mind the names too much." Jenny starts, "I don't even really have one I like for a girl..." She trails off as Jordan starts a steady rubbing of her neck.

"Benjamin if it's a boy." Jordan finishes Jenny's thought for her and Jenny nods.

Cassie knows that that's the only thing Jenny really wanted, to name their baby if it was a boy. Jordan loved her enough to let that happen.

"Good news babe, Spencer said he'd come by later tonight and help me put the crib up." Jon says once he returns to his wife's side.

"My husband is so resourceful."

"More like lazy." Jenny spouts, flashes a grin at Jon who rolls his eyes at her comment.

"We can't all have a Ryan Ross slave." He retorts.

"But everyone should." Brendon says as he finally detaches himself from Krissy. "The guy's like, crazy when he wants something done."

"I'm starving, food time now." Cassie says and Jenny and Krissy nod, follow her up to the counter of the resturant they're eating at. Brendon laughs and says that it looks like there's some kind of pregnant lady convention in town or something.

Picking what foods to eat is a terribly long ordeal nowadays. It's mostly because the girls just can't make up their minds about what sounds good enough to eat. The worker behind the counter stands polietly while the girls decide. Once one of them has an idea, it sparks a completely different idea in someone else. Jon's behind Cassie making suggestions, telling her about things that he knows she likes, what she's been craving as of late.

Jordan and Jenny are laughing about some of the names of the foods, mostly just the uber sausauge on a stick. Brendon seems to be just as indecisive as his wife, they both stand there deep in thought.

In the end Cassie gets some mozerella cheese stick things and asks them to cut up an onion and just give it to her on a plate. Jon watches as she eats, a mild grossed out look on his face.

"You're lucky you're so damn cute or I wouldn't be able to kiss you after this."

That's what Cassie craves most, onions, sometime chinese food. Jenny's is cheese and lots of it...oddly enough peanut butter as well, something she never liked before she got knocked up. That's what she's eating now, some cheesy taco thing alongside a bag of skittles that Jordan had picked up for her.

Krissy's cravings aren't so extreme. Barbeque sauce, which, okay, is a little weird considering she's been eating it with everything as of late. Including her dipping her fish sandwhich into it.

The boys sit and eat their normal meals, talking and laughing, wondering how much things will change once their children are born.

Cassie sort of ridiculosuly loves her son's nursery. Mostly because she got to design it, Jon had his say but really, he didn't mind as long as it made his wife smile. Their son's nursery was a soft minty sort of green, little pictures of animals hung up along the walls, a changing table and all the other necessities that the baby would need are currently being stored in the room. Along with huge piles of baby clothes that Cassie and Jon's mothers bought for their grandson.

There's a rocking chair by the window and it's soft and doesn't squeak and is absolutely perfect. That's where she's sitting right now, rocking softly back and forth, humming, her hands on her stomach. Really, she's trying hard not to laugh because Jon and Spencer putting together a crib, just has to be one of the funniest things she's witnessed in a long time.

They're swearing, quietly because by now they've both learned that Cassie doesn't like that kind of talk around her baby. Neither seem to be able to decipher the directions that came with the crib and Spencer's already hit his thumb with the hammer three times and Jon's once.

Apparently Cassie needs to hang around with more manly men.

Though that might not be accurate based on how Ryan was the one who successfully built Jenny and Jordan's crib. Speaking of Jenny, the girl had sent Cassie a picture text a few minutes ago. The pictures were of Jenny and Jordan's own nursery. Their's was also something that Cassie liked.

It was painted a soft, misty, blue. Gray trim around the ceiling and floor. Cassie once jokingly referred to it as a ocean themed room but it seems it stuck because the room now has small pictures of boat's and starfish, palm trees, in it. Ryan was the one who did all the work, found the things for the girls and did the paintings. He even found a carpet that looked exactly like the sandy white beach that Jenny and Jordan got married on.

Jenny and Jordan didn't actually live too far away from where Cassie and Jon lived. An hour at most, really, Cassie's surprised that she hadn't met the two girl's sooner. Krissy too lived about an hour away yet somehow none of them had met until they had all joined the lamaze class.

Cassie takes a picture of Jon and Spencer sitting indian style on the floor. A mess of wooden parts scattered around them. Jon looks up briefly, the hard look of frustration and concentration he had had on his face melting away into a warm smile. Cassie sends the photo to Jenny who responds with a, 'Want me to send Ryan over?' Cassie seriously considers it for a moment.

Brendon and Krissy end up coming over, mostly because Cassie had made the mistake of texting Krissy and telling her about Jon and Spencer and Krissy had told Brendon, who had instantly wanted in on the crib building party.

Brendon had dragged a chair upstairs for Krissy to sit in and now both girl's were watching as the men in their lives attempting a simple baby task.

"Come on, Spencer, you have a beard! How come you can't figure this out?" Brendon asks, holding up his piece and giving it a serious stare. Spencer throws a glare at Brendon and Jon quickly takes away the hammer.

"I don't know why I'm even doing this, it isn't my baby." He states.

"Who says it isn't?" Cassie deadpans from her chair and Brendon cracks up laughing. Jon throws on a pout and looks at his wife.

"So, our baby is going to come out having a beard?" He asks.

Krissy had come in carrying a bag in her hands. Inside the bag was a stuffed giraffe that was meant to go in Krissy and Brendon's nursery. That was a running theme in the Urie baby nursery. It was a nice bright yellow with little pictures of giraffes everywhere. Cassie had even managed to find some sleepwear with giraffes on them and bought them for Krissy.

By the end of the night the crib is finally put together, standing dark and perfect in the center of the room. Cassie's more excited than ever for their baby to arrive. Brendon's bouncing around, happy that he could help. "So, does this mean that you'll name the baby Brendon?" He asks, "You know, since I saved the day and all."

"Yeah, and our son will wind up being named; Brendon Liam Jonathan Spencer Jenny Walker." Jon states and Cassie laughs, followed by the rest of the people.

+

Gabe has taken a paticular shine to Cassie and Jenny. Maybe it's because those two are one of the few people who don't find Gabe completely creepy. He likes to touch their belly's a lot, singing softly in spanish to their unborn children. Jon's only kind of weirded out by it and Jordan doesn't really like it at all but like Gabe likes to say, 'He recruited them.'

Krissy's more infaituated with Gabe's assistant lamaze instructor, Alex. Cassie too has taken a shine to Alex, one that Jon doesn't really care for. Fortunately for three girl's significant others, Gabe and Alex happen to be a couple.

One day during lamaze class time, Jon has to leave adbruptly due to a 'work thing', something about a worker who had lost a shit-ton of orders at the store that Jon manages. Jordan was late in general, Jenny says it's the busy season for video game designers.

Jenny has Ryan as back-up and Jon called Spencer to come down and take care of Cassie. Though, really it might as well be a date between the two boys considering how well they hit it off. An instant sort of spark, one that had the two of them laughing at god knows what and somewhat ignoring their pregnant ladies.

"Oh, you're so right Ryan. I think Peyton and Lucas are the best couple too." Spencer states, his hands that had previously been working on Cassie's back have stalled. The dark haired girl makes a grumpy noise.

"This is not a date Spencer, you're supposed to helping me. So stop talking about One Tree Hill and get busy."

"Yeah Ryan, you're not doing so great here either." Jenny mumbles, Jenny just gets grumpier in general when Jordan isn't around.

"Sorry." Spencer and Ryan tell their very pregnant partners. "Remind me not to ask you to have children for me someday." Spencer tells Cassie and the girl turns slightly and swats at him.

"You know I would still do it for you anyway." She says, leaning back against Spencer's hands, frowning because they're no where near as nice as Jon's.

"You can't have kids Spence?" Ryan asks, adopting the common nickname for Spencer already. The boy rubbing Cassie's back shakes his head.

"You can't exactly get a guy pregnant." He states, Ryan pulls a confused look but doesn't dare stop moving his hands over Jenny's back.

"What Spencer is trying to say is that he's gay." Cassie says, glancing from Spencer before she looks at Ryan. Jenny hadn't exactly told her that Ryan was gay but she had a pretty good feeling. Ryan's face goes blank for a split second before he recovers.

"Oh. Oh, really?"

Jenny nods. "The beard really throws people off."

Spencer makes a growly kind of noise. The boy's go back to caring for their girls but Cassie and hopefully Spencer doesn't miss the way the boy on Jenny's side ducks his head and smiles softly.

Unfortunately for the girls and boys in the class, today their teacher Gabe wants them to practice birthing postions.

"Um.." Spencer starts as Gabe helps him position Cassie's legs open. "I am so not comfortable with this." Gabe scoffs and rubs at Spencer's shoulder.

"Relax, it's a beautiful thing." He states before he goes to help Ryan. Beautiful, sure, whatever. Spencer's pretty sure that if Jon were to walk in and see Spencer kneeling between his wife's spread legs, her heels in his hands, yeah, it wouldn't be so beautiful anymore.

"Hey, Ryan, remember when we used to have sex like this?" Jenny asks and Ryan snorts.

"Yeah, maybe before I realized just how great penis is." Ryan teases back. The door dings with a new arrival and the couples hear Brendon shriek.

"Dear god! We're missing group sex day!"

+

After class is over and Spencer is getting ready to take Cassie home because Jon is still not back from his work emergency. Cassie is sitting in Spencer's car, fiddling with the radio, which normally Spencer hates but it's Cassie and she's pregnant so he kind of has to let it go. It turns out that Ryan is parked right next to Spencer's car, the two passenger side windows alligned and Jenny is being taken home by Ryan but right now she has her window down and is talking to Cassie from across the small space of the parking lot.

Ryan is behind the car, throwing Jenny's bag into the trunk. Spencer maybe gets brave and goes to talk to him.

"So," he starts, Ryan looks up from the bag and smiles. "Do you come here often?" He asks and it's like the worst pick up line ever but Spencer really wanted to know. He distinctly hears the girls laughing and now maybe he's blushing, just a little bit.

Ryan is still just smiling. Apparently he doesn't mind the cheesy lines. "Normally, I would laugh at that but since I know you're serious. Yeah, I come around when Jordan can't." Spencer knows enough from Cassie to know that Jordan is Jenny's wife. Well, that's good but the bad thing here is that Spencer only comes when Jon can't and it's scarce to find Jon Walker missing his lamaze class. Dammit. So, really? Will Spencer ever have the chance to see Ryan again?

"Do you maybe...want to go grab some coffee sometime?" Ryan asks, shatters through Spencer's thought. He finds himself nodding dumbly, pink on his pale cheeks. Jenny and Cassie are definitly giggling, cell phones out and their either texting their respective partners or Krissy and Brendon.

"Great." Ryan still smiles and slips away. "Jenny will text Cassie with my phone number. I'll call you." Ryan states, slides himself into the front seat of his sleek car.

"I will?" Jenny asks, but they both know that she will because Ryan has given Jenny one of the greatest gifts that he could. Their baby. Ryan pulls away with Cassie waving from out of the car window and Spencer standing in the parking lot waving.

Spencer is still standing there, watching Ryan's car disappear down the street. He watches until there's the sound of his own car horn beeping at him. He tilts his head and Cassie's grinning at him.

+

Jon wakes up at 4:35 in the morning. He's not usually a light sleeper, Cassie says that he could sleep through an earthquake, or their future son's cries. Cassie is not looking forward to that happening. The point being that Jon rarely wakes up once he's asleep so, he doesn't really know why he's up now. He rolls slightly and his hand seeks out his wife but finds only empty bed. He lifts himself up and nope, she's not there.

Jon, is sleepy but the curiousity of just where Cassie is at the moment is stronger than the need for sleep so he climbs out of bed. Scratching at his belly as he heads out of their room and into the only place with the light on, the kitchen. Cassie's there, sitting at the little island in their kitchen, eating what looks to be icecream and flipping through a baby book, not the name book thank god.

"Icecream cravings at four-thirty something in the morning is new." Jon mumbles as he steps up behind her. Cassie is only slightly surprised to see him. She nods as she removes the spoon from her mouth.

"Had to have it." She mutters. Jon brushes a hand through her hair and kisses the top of her head.

"You could've woken me up. I would've gotten it for you." He says. She shakes her head, looking up at him.

"You have to work in the morning, I don't." She points out. Cassie used to be a teacher, before she went on maternity leave that's what she did. They still have the huge card that her students had made for her. Jon shrugs and while she's distracted he slides his hand down to her's and steals the spoon, digging himself a scoop of icecream.

"Jon! You don't want to eat that I-"

"Put onions in the icecream?" Jon says only after the horrible mesh of food is halfway down his throat. Cassie nods and stares at him with amused eyes.

"It sounded really good." She tries to explain, a small smile playing on her face. Jon sighs and closes up the icecream, onions and all, puts it back in the freezer, spoon in the sink before he offers Cassie his hand. Leads her back to the bed. Their mouths tasting of vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter, and onions.

Jenny maybe wakes Jordan up at six in the morning. She can't help it, just like she can't fall asleep. She's already tried everything that normally works. Counting, sheep and otherwise, music, texting anyone who might be awake...so, just Cassie. But none of it worked and she knew exactly why.

Ever since Jenny started to show, she and Jordan haven't had sex. And okay, that was like three months ago, she cannot handle the no sex thing anymore. That's why she woke Jordan up.

"Jenny...too early." Jordan groans, yeah, groaning is good.

"Jordan..I can't sleep."

"Did you try counting the sheep?" Jordan mumbles into her pillow.

"Yes."

"Cassie?"

"Is sleeping I think."

There's silence and Jenny thinks that the other girl fell back to sleep. She reaches out and pokes Jordan in the side.

"I'm awake...I'm just thinking."

"About what?" Jenny props herself up on her elbows and waits.

"About how to put you back to sleep."

Aha, Jenny almost wants to laugh at how damn easy Jordan makes shit like this.

"Well," Jenny starts, sliding close to the other girl and running her hand softly down Jordan's back. "I think I have an idea." She finishes, her hand cupping Jordan's ass. The other girl yelps in surprise and rolls over on to her back. Good, there's good stuff on the front.

"You mean you wanna have sex?"

Jenny nods, leaning over Jordan, down so that their lips touch. "It's been so long...don't you want to?" Jordan sighs against Jenny's mouth.

"I do but...the baby."

Jenny sighs. That's always the reason. Stupid doctors.

"No, the baby won't even know about it." Jenny insists, kisses her way down Jordan's neck and collarbone.

"Jenny," Jordan's hand slide to Jenny's hips. "The doctor said it wasn't safe to have too much sex."

"Okay, for one, that was Cassie's doctor who said that and that's because she and Jon are animals who can't keep their hands off each other. Two, Jon has a dick, something neither of us have, we won't hurt the baby and three, we haven't had sex in three months."

Jordan bites her lip. Jenny leans down and kisses her again, soft press of tongue. Jordan sighs and shudders against Jenny.

"Fine...get on your back."

+

Krissy has her babyshower the very next day. Jon has just enough time to drop Cassie off at Krissy and Brendon's place before he has to go to work. Granted, he would be quicker if he didn't insist on kissing both Cassie and her belly or..their baby as he says. Cassie sort of misses being able to drive, not that she was ever any good at it.

Brendon and Krissy live in a nice one story house in an equally nice neighborhood. The house is cool, almost everything Krissy Urie does could be considered cool. Jenny and Cassie helped put together the babyshower, it was easy what with how well they knew the blonde girl.

Cassie makes her way inside with Jon's help, Brendon coming out to meet/help her inside. Jon smiles at Brendon, glances at his watch, kisses Cassie's mouth and then leans down and does the same to her poked out belly. Brendon finds this all adorable and he waves Jon off eagerly as he leads the older man's wife into the house.

The decorations for the babyshower was done mostly by Jordan and Brendon. Mostly because the mates to the preggers girls absolutely forbade any of the girls to even stand on a step stool to get the bright yellow decorations up. It was the slightly cliched colors. Yellow, green, white. The neutral colors.

There were quite a few people already in the house when Cassie arrived. Krissy was sitting in a rocking chair, the center of attention and looking every bit calm, cool, and collected. If the future Urie child will be anything, it will be unbelievably cool and clingy. An odd combination that will undoubtedly work.

Cassie gets a seat next to Krissy, Brendon releasing her so that he could place Cassie's present among the others. Cassie already had her babyshower. Jenny had given her the rocking chair that Cassie loved so much. Krissy had gotten her the lovely changing table that thankfully came along with workers who put it together.

Jenny arrives about five minutes later with Jordan in tow. Jordan's grinning wide, proud of her own decoration job. Or maybe about babies, who really knows with her? Jenny is wearing this huge, slightly creepy, shit eating grin. She only ever grins like that for two reasons.

The third pregnant girl in their trifecta takes a seat next to Cassie and instantly the oldest and most pregnant of the trio leans over to the youngest.

"Did you have some muffins today?" She asks, Jenny raises an eyebrow and Krissy just rocks gently, hands patting a beat on her stomach.

"Um...no...why?" Cassie isn't usually the one who asks odd questions. The oldest girl's eyes widen and now she's grinning.

"Then you totally had sex last night!" She exclaims, voice quiet so only the three of them could hear. Jenny's blue gray eyes widen and a light pink color rises to her cheeks.

"What? Psssh, your baby is making you crazy."

Cassie shakes her head. "No way. I know you and Jordan got hot and heavy last night."

Jenny's stuck somewhere between wanting to laugh and slightly embarressed. "So? It's not like it's illegal." Cassie nods.

"I know. I'm just surprised that you got Jordan to agree." Jenny's beginning to think that maybe she shouldn't tell Cassie every detail of her life.

"It was to help me sleep, besides, it's your fault she was freaked out in the first place. You just had to go and tell her that your doctor said that sex was bad for the baby."

"Ah, ah, ah." Cassie starts, raising a finger and waving it in Jenny's direction. "Correction, I said that my doctor said too much sex was the problem."

"Maybe just the fact that you always wanted to be on top was the problem." Krissy states, Jenny breaks into laughter, earning them a few odd stares.

"Don't act like you don't still have sex with Brendon, Krissy."

"I never said that. Just not on top." The blonde points out, rocks in her chair some more.

"Yeah, good thing your mouth can't get pregnant." Cassie deadpans and Jenny explodes into laughter. Krissy's mother eyes all three girls oddly. Jenny still laughing, Cassie pretending not to notice and Krissy just rocking and smiling.

+

"I wanna lay on my belly again." Cassie says wistfully as she lays in bed with Jon. Her husband looks up from the baby book he's reading, dog-earring the page he's on before he looks at his wife.

"Two months." He states, as if that makes right now any better. He knows Cassie inside and out, knows her well enough to know that she is a very habitual person. She makes a whiny noise and Jon sets his book aside, turns on his side, propping himself up on his elbow to face his wife. "Look at it this way." Jon starts, his free hand finding his empty pop can from the nightstand. "You've developed a new talent." He says as he sets the can on her stomach and it balances perfectly.

Cassie's mouth crinkles and Jon laughs before he moves forward, removing the can and kissing her slightly frowning mouth. "Oh." Jon says suddenly and breaks away from Cassie. "The baby is kicking." He states, moving his hand around her stomach, chasing the movments.

"He didn't think your joke was funny either." She says softly. Cassie's only feigning anger because he can totally see the smile in her blue gray eyes.

"You know how I like to sleep?" Jon asks, pressing himself close to his wife.

"Hmm?"

"Like this." He states and he presses his face into her neck, one hand slipping over her heart and the other still on her stomach, on their baby. "So, then I can feel your heartbeat and I can feel our son."

He can feel her smile but then he hears a sniffling noise and he looks up to see her crying.

"Why are you crying?" He cups her face and wipes away the tears.

"Hormones." She replies weakily, which, yeah, that's pretty much the truth because Jon caught her crying while watching the weather last week.

"Well, I love you and your hormones." Jon whispers, pressing his mouth to her belly over her shirt.

+

"I swear to god, I'm pissing every two minutes! That's it, that's it. I'm wearing a diaper." Jenny proclaims over dinner with her wife. Jordan's eyes go wide, spoon frozen in her mouth at Jenny's statement. Jordan swallows her bite and sets her spoon down before she replies.

"Please tell me you're joking right?"

Jenny throws a look that could mean, 'duh!' or 'No, I have never been more serious in my life.'

"I guess that means you won't change me." The pregnant girl sighs out. Jordan cracks a grin.

"Could be practice for the baby." She laughs and Jenny nods.

"You could do us both at the same time." Jordan levels Jenny with a look and Jenny giggles.

"That came out sounding much more suggestive than I intended." Sure. Everything with Jenny comes out suggestive. Jordan flashes a grin at Jenny before she goes back to eating.

"Do you think we're going to be good parents?" Jenny asks, her voice taking on a serious tone. Jordan looks up from her meal, something delicious that Jenny had made. She nods automatically.

"Of course I do."

Jenny sighs, she's less then convinced. Jenny has little to no experience dealing with babies, she loves looking at babies and they're cute and all but it kind of freaks her out that something...someone will be depending on her for the rest of her life. It's a terrifying thought. Even more terrifying is the thought that Jenny will screw it up, that her child will be fucked up because of her mistakes.

"What if the baby comes out like me?" It really might be the thing that Jenny's the most afraid of. Honestly, this kid is a mix of Jenny and Ryan. Two people who, lets admit, are kind of fucked up. Maybe more in their youth then now but still, what if that all transfers to the baby?

Jordan gets out of her seat and moves behind Jenny, her small hands coming to rest on the girl's shoulders. "I would be so happy if the baby came out like you." She whispers, leans down and kisses Jenny on the cheek.

"All fucked up?"

"Jenny, you're not fucked up. I love you and nothing would make me happier than if the baby was like you." Jordan smiles down at Jenny, who because of her own hormones or maybe just how strongly she feels about the subject, starts to cry. Jordan wiping away her tears with her thumb.

At just that moment the couples two cats, Joey and Stephy walk into the room. Both animals are wearing baby diapers and look severly pissed about having been put into that situation. Jordan watches the animals for a long moment before she looks down at her wife. Jenny shrugs.

"I wanted to be good for the baby."

+

Another month slips by and Cassie's due date draws ever nearer. Jon's noticed that his wife has gone into super nesting mode, constantly fixing things up in their sons nursery. Her anxiety about actually giving birth to their baby has risen, leaving Jon searching for a way to ease his wife's mind.

Naturally it settles on Fall Out Boy.

His wife's favorite band is playing a show in the city that Jon and Cassie live. She had talked about wanting to go but now the pregnancy has pushed the thought out of her mind. He buys tickets, not really good ones like they would normally buy because yeah, extreamly pregnant lady+mosh pit=bad idea.

Jon surprises Cassie with the tickets while they're in bed and she squeals in delight. You know, even more so than usual. It turns out that Jon can't be the one to take Cassie to the concert. He's thinking Jenny and at first Jordan says no but Jenny says yes because she says that going to a Fall Out Boy concert with Cassie has been a dream of hers for a long time, a long time being the six months they've known each other.

Jon ends up sending Spencer to the concert with Jenny and Cassie. Spencer complains that he'll look like a one of those guys who has multiple wives. Despite the epic pregnancy of both girls they still look fabulous when they go to the concert. Decked out in band t-shirts and pregnancy jeans.

"Wow, the baby's been kicking ever since we got here." Cassie says, hands linked around her stomach she looks the picture of excitement as they wait outside a dressing room. Jon had last minute surprised them with backstage passes to meet the band and now the girls were waiting.

"Baby's gonna be a Fob fan." Jenny supplies and Cassie laughs. "Man, I cannot believe we're gonna meet them! I just wish I wasn't as big as a fucking whale. The younger girl laments. Cassie pats her on the back and the door opens, a huge security guard ushering them inside.

Inside is the band, the actual fucking band and holy shit, Cassie feels like she's dying, baby still kicking. Pete's eyes widen as he takes in the two girls.

"Ah, Joe, looks like you're about to owe some child support." Pete teases and the girls laugh, maybe like idiots, but who cares.

"Oh yeah, cause I'm pimp enough to knock two girls up." Joe snaps back. Pete grins.

"I love pregnant ladies." He says before he's moving over to them. "Can I touch your bellies?" He asks, far too innocent for Pete Wentz.

"You can touch my anything." Jenny says dreamily. Cassie laughs and nods. Pete feels up their pregger bellies, laughing as he feels the babies kicking. Patrick comes up to the girls and pushes Pete slightly.

"Quit being creepy, pedo bear." Patrick teases, he offers his hand to Jenny whose giggling and then to Cassie whose smile slips away to be replaced by a frown as she suddenly grips his hand.

"Oh my god." She mutters, releases his hand and grabs her belly. Jenny and Pete eyes grow as wide as saucers.

"What's wrong?" Jenny asks. Cassie shakes her head.

"Can't be...he can't be a month early..." She mumbles.

"Oh my god! You're having the baby?" Both Pete and Jenny yell.

"I-maybe it's just some pain, false labor or whatever." Cassie tries to play it off but holy fucking shit it hurts! Patrick's hand is on her shoulder.

"Do you need us to call someone?" He asks and Cassie shakes her head but then there's a disgustingly wet sound against the dressing room floor and ew. Cassie's water just broke.

"Ah, holy shit! Stump, I take back ever saying that you were not capable of getting a girl wet." Pete teases, staring at the mess on the floor with a crinkled nose.

"Jenny, find Spencer....oh my god! Call Jon!"

"Well, at least this will make an interesting story for the baby someday." Jenny points out, gripping Cassie's hand as pain wracks through her body.

"Too bad I'm in too much pain to really enjoy this." Cassie grits out. She cannot believe, cannot believe that she's in a car with Jenny, Spencer, and Fall Out Boy. It's really, really fucking insane but her labor started and they found Spencer, called Jon. Spencer was going to drive but the parking lot was so fucking crowded that they wouldn't have been able to get out for a very long time.

Ambulance but it's kinda the same problem. And then Pete Wentz, being the insane, pregger lady loving person that he is, decides that he'll get them to the hospital, V.I.P. style.

"Maybe we can autograph the baby?" Pete suggests and shit, she would laugh, she would if she didn't feel like her stomach was being ripped open.

"What about Jon? Where is he?" Cassie asks, panting at Jenny and Spencer. She wants him, needs him to be here with her, she cannot do this without him.

"I got his voicemail but I'll try again." Spencer says, grabbing up his cell phone.

"Runaway babydaddy." Pete jokes and normally, normally Cassie would never, ever glare at Pete Wentz but she does and he promptly looks away.

+

They got Cassie to the hospital and Spencer does manage to get ahold of Jon. "Dude, code blue, the eagle has landed. Whatever fucking thing you want to call it. Your wife is having the baby." Cassie's in a hospital bed and hey, Fall Out Boy was totally nice enough to autograph the t-shirt that Cassie had been wearing before they had to go back to the venue. Pete demanding that the baby be named after him.

Cassie's breathing hard in the hospital bed. Jenny's by her side, gripping her hand as pain shoots through her. "Jenny," Cassie starts, "Jenny, nevermind, I don't want to do this anymore. I can't, he can't come out."

"A little late for that, sweetie." Jenny laughs, she's pinned Cassie's bangs back so they won't fall in her eyes. "And you're not making me feel any better about having my baby." Jenny adds.

"I can't believe he couldn't wait just a little bit longer, maybe just till after the concert?" Cassie pants.

"He wanted to meet the band too."

A fresh wave of pain shoots through her, the baby moving ever closer to his final destination, to entering the world. At least she feels better about the fact that the doctors said that the baby will be fine despite being early.

"Oh my god, where is Jon? I swear, I swear to god we're not having sex ever again." Jenny pats Cassie's hand lovingly.

"Now we both know that's not true. But don't worry, Spencer says that he's on his way."

Jenny can almost see him speeding down streets in an attempt to get to the hospital.

Cassie's afraid that he'll miss this, miss the birth and being here to comfort her. All their plans going to waste and she needs him here. She's never needed him more in her life.

+

Shit, shit, Jon is never going to forgive himself if he misses the birth of his son. Of all the nights for Cassie to go into labor it had to be the one where he agreed to take an extra shift. He left of course, he basically runs that place and his boss isn't even around at night. Plus, he has a really fucking good reason.

Jon drives as fast as safety and not wanting to get pulled over allows. He maybe skids to a stop out in front of the hospital and pays a nurse fifty bucks to park his car but it's nesscessary. He knows that Cassie was afraid of this exact situation occuring and Jon promised, he promised with all his heart that he wouldn't let it. He's not going to break the most important promise he ever made.

He races inside, intent on finding the room himself. He's fairly sure that his instincts would lead him to her. A nurse stops him though, her hand on his shoulder and he takes one look at him before smiling and saying "Maternity ward?" Jon nod's dumbly, just now noticing how bad he's shaking.

The nurse gives him directions and Jon's gone in a flash, forgoing all elevators as he rushes up three flights of stairs and bumps into three doctors but it's all worth it because it's his wife and his kid. Jon skids into the front of the maternity ward, there's a nurse here too and she actually takes him to where Cassie is.

The first person Jon sees is Spencer. Spencer whose on full force bitchface mode and is standing there much too calm for Jon's liking. "Spence! Where is she?" Jon presses, he's still shaking and he's listening for sounds of a crying baby, his wife screaming.

"She's alright. She's in the little adjoining room over there." Spencer points to a little door that's currently closed, the little door obviously being the connector to the two rooms. "And don't worry, she didn't have the baby yet."

That's a relief. "What did I miss?" Jon asks as Spencer hands him a pair of scrubs and some gloves, things all mandatory to wear while in the other room. Spencer puts a finger up in the 'Hold on' kind of fashion before he bends down and picks up a little notepad, flipping it open and proceeding to read.

"Ow, this hurts. This hurts, this hurts. I swear to god Jon and I are never having sex again. Where the hell is he? I can't believe he did this to me and now he's going to do this? This hurts, god, fuck, this hurts." Spencer quotes Cassie and Jon has to laugh because he can so hear her saying that.

Jon gets into the other little room and there's Cassie in a hospital bed with Jenny standing next to her, gripping her hand, the younger girl glaring at Jon. Cassie just looks at him with shiny eyes and Jon's next to her in an instant. He leans down and kisses her, brushes a hand through her hair.

"Are you okay?" He asks and she nods.

"Where were you?" She whines, hands clutching on to his neon green scrubs.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Jon whispers over and over against her lips. "How's our boy?"

"Trying to rip his way out of my vagina." She says. Jenny suddenly lets out a cry, Jon looking over at her to see that Cassie is squeezing her hand tightly.

"Jon Walker, you are so paying for my hospital bill." Jon laughs and looks up at the pregnant girl who has become so important to his wife.

"Right, anything for taking care of her."

For once in the entire time Jon's known her, Jenny smiles at him.

"Well, I think you got it from here. Want me to go help Spencer make the phone calls?" She asks, jerking her thumb back towards the door and Jon nods. Jenny leaves and Cassie might just be in too much pain to notice.

"Jon, Jon, tell them to give me the drug. I don't..I don't care how big the needle is anymore." She pants out, holding her stomach with one hand and clutching on to him with the other. Jon knows that she must be in serious pain if she's asking for a needle.

"It'll be okay, I'll find the doctor and we'll get this going alright? Just breath, do your exercises you know?"

"I'm in too much pain to remember them! Besides, I was too busy joking with Jenny to focus on the lessons."

Jon leaves Cassie briefly and returns with the doctor, he holds her hand during the epideral, hell, she basically attacks his mouth during the shot, like she's trying to push all the pain into him. After the shot though, things get a hell of a lot easier. Jenny calls Brendon and Krissy up to the hospital, the two of them coming in donned in scrubs to see the girl.

Brendon wants to peek under the sheet that's covering the girl, you know, just to see what an actual birth looks like. Krissy slaps his hand and takes him to find some ice chips for the girl whose about to give birth.

Cassie gets closer and closer to having her baby. She's in less pain now and Jon's sitting next to her, holding her hand.

"We're ready for this right?" She asks him, eyes full and serious. Jon nods, his thumb rubbing across the back of her palm.

"I know you're going to great and as long as I have you with me, well, I think I can make it too."

"I love you, you know that right?" She says, Jon smiles, stands and kisses her on the forehead.

After five minutes, the doctors put her legs up in those stirrups. Cassie's anxiety is steadily growing and there's a room of people out in the hall waiting for her to give birth. This is it, after today they won't just be a married couple, they'll be a family. No matter what happens the two of them will have this connection, this little person that they brought into the world. Jon can barely believe it.

When it starts there's screaming, lots of screaming. Jon's trying to keep her calm but it's hard because he's nervous as fuck. He can't believe in less than an hour of time he's going to be someone's father, like, offically. There's going to be kid whose going to call him dad and that..well, that's something you can't really be calm about.

An hour slips by and Cassie's basically giving birth here, she can't really feel it and the doctors are telling her to push, just a few more. She does as she's told, pushing with everything she's got and Jon just wants everything to be alright. His wife, his son, his life. Let it all go alright. Jon's clutching her hand, kissing her forehead and whispering encouragement into her ear. Just five minutes later an ear piercing cry is emitting from the room and the doctor is holding him up, Jon and Cassie's beautiful little son.

+

Several things happen right after the baby is born. They take him and clean him and all Cassie can really see is a chubby pink thing. Jon's standing over her looking like he's seeing the greatest thing in the world. Maybe to him he is. All that Cassie knows is that she wants to see him, to know that he's okay and to stop him from crying.

They wrap the baby in a little blue blanket and bring him over to Cassie, laying him in her arms. He quiets down right away, looking up at her with big, deep brown eyes. Ones that match Jon's perfectly. Instantly Cassie's in love. A sort of love that she never really thought was possible and yes, she had heard all those cliched parents who say that same thing she's saying now but it's the truth. This little boy in her arms, she loves him more then anything in the world, more than Jon even.

She sweeps her fingers over his face, his eyes staring up into her's. "He's...perfect." She whispers, Jon leans down and presses a kiss to her lips before he stares down warmly at his son.

"Yeah, he is."

The doctors suggest that Cassie get some sleep but she doesn't want to, doesn't want to stop staring at her son. She holds him and he's still quiet, awake but quite, surveying his surroundings, taking in his first sights of the world. Eventually, Jon notices Cassie's head dipping slightly and her eyes closing. She has to be tired, giving birth takes a lot of energy out of you.

The doctors take the baby to the little maternity ward so that Jon can go out and inform his friends that they can now go and see the baby. He probably has to call both sets of brand new grandparents too. Their son, their boy. He whimpers a little once he's out of Cassie's arms but he seems fine and Jon knows that he'll be well taken care of.

"He's so cute!" Jenny almost squeals at the long glass window of the maternity ward. She's standing between Jordan and Krissy, Brendon next to her, Ryan next to Jordan and Spencer next to him.

"I know, it makes me want mine right now." Krissy says, brushing her hands along her belly.

Their all staring at 'Little baby, Walker' as the little paper name tag at the end of his plastic crib reads. He looks all soft and pink and tiny, little eyes slits and a shock of dark brown hair. They can't really tell exactly who he looks like yet, so far the majority is leaning towards Jon.

"I want to meet our baby now." Brendon whines, resting his forehead against the glass as he smiles at not only Jon and Cassie's brand new baby but all the little babies that are fresh to the world.

"Two more months." Krissy sighs out, links her hand with Brendon's.

"She was in so much pain. But I really think it's more than worth it." Jenny states, smiling at Jordan whose smiling at her belly.

"I wonder what they'll name him." Spencer says, Ryan shrugs and throws an arm around the taller boy's shoulders. Brendon makes a scoffing noise and looks over at Spencer.

"They're totally going to name him Brendon."

+

Cassie's still asleep and their friends have all gone home. It's just them, just their brand new family. The nurse brought the tiniest Walker into the room in his little moveable bassenette. The nurse asked if Jon wanted to wake Cassie but he didn't, she looked so peaceful and he was more than sure he could handle the baby.

He's nervous as he holds him for the first time. Sitting in a little chair next to the bed, his brand new son in his arms. The boy is half between awake and asleep, small hands curled into fists and little mouth opening in a yawn.

Jon smiles like it's the best thing he's ever seen. This kid is only a handful of hours old and already amazing Jon. He rocks the boy softly.

"You know, we need to give you a name, little baby Walker." Jon whispers to his son. The baby cracks an eye open, like he hears Jon and wants to listen to what he has to say. "Ah, you did get my eyes." He can't really tell who he looks like, he knows he can see bits of himself in the child but he can see a lot of Cassie, the quirk of the boy's mouth, round little face, shape of his eyes, all from his mother.

"I can't believe you're actually here. I can barely believe how overwhelmed I am by you." Jon rocks him and he moves his hands a bit. "I hope you can feel how much we love you already, how much we wanted you to be here. I want to be the best father I can be for you. I want you to know that everything I do, every decision I make from this moment until the day I die, they'll all be in the best interest of you..and that beautiful woman you're gonna call mom."

Jon swears that his son smiles at him.

"I promise."

+

"So, you're coming over right?" Jenny asks Cassie over the phone about two weeks after the older girl had given birth.

"Mmhmm. Jon's just putting Liam's carseat in the car."

That's what they ended up naming the baby, Liam. It took them a good day and a half, staring intently at their son and trying to figure out what he looked like. He had been very close to being named Grey but in the end they decided that he looked like a Liam.

That's how little Liam Jonathan Walker came to exist in the world.

Jenny sort of ridiculously loves Cassie's son. She thinks he's the cutest baby she's ever seen and she's gained a new sort of fear, a fear that she won't think her baby is as cute as Liam. Jordan says that it's insane because every parent thinks that their child is the most gorgeous thing on the planet. Jenny hasn't asked Cassie because if Jordan's right, well, then Cassie probably won't think otherwise.

Jon and Cassie are already those almost stereotypical really proud parents. Sure, Jenny loves Liam to pieces but she does not need twenty something pictures of the baby doing almost exactly the same thing, sent to her email every hour.

She and Jordan like having Cassie and Liam around because then it gives them good experience with tiny fragile babies. Jenny kind of hates the fact that Liam is a really quiet baby, all calm and curious. He looks like Jon, he really does but Cassie says she doesn't mind, not in the slightest.

The little family arrives and Cassie's holding her son and beaming all proudly. Jordan instantly wants to hold him and Cassie slowly hands her calm little boy over to Jordan, even if it looks like she really doesn't want to. The baby is wearing a little onesie and flip-flops that match Jon's, how in the hell he managed to find baby sized flip-flops, Jenny will never know.

What she does know is that she really, really loves when Jordan holds a baby. It's seriously like the cutest thing in the world to Jenny. The way her wife cooes over the baby, snuggles him and makes him smile, it's almost too much to bare. Jenny can't wait to have their baby so she can watch Jordan do this all the time.

She talks to Cassie about what being a parent feels like and all the older girl says is that it's magical. Now, she's smelt some of Liam's diapers and they don't exactly smell like magic. Cassie does seem happy though, Jon too. Both of them grinning and smiling, cooing at anything their son does. Jenny wonders if she's going to end up like that too.

Liam had his christening three days ago. Three days ago was when Spencer became Liam's godfather and Jenny his godmother. Brendon complained about being snubbed and feigned hatred at Jon until the older boy resigned and assigned Brendon Liam's co-godfather.

Krissy liked being around baby Liam too. She liked asking questions because her own child with Brendon was due in two months, Brendon more than excited about the prospects of finally meeting his mini Urie.

Liam is in fact a pretty easy baby to handle. Cassie's glad for that, that he likes to sleep, that he smiles a lot. That's not to say there aren't times that the boy will scream at the top of his lungs for no apparent reason but she can handle those times.

When Jon goes to work it's just her and Liam and she loves spending time with him. Loves him so much, she already knows that she and Jon are going to end up giving this kid everything he wants in the entire world, as long as it's within reason. She talks to him a lot when he's awake, he doesn't do much at such a young age, sleep and sit in his baby holder, staring at his mother as she attempts to do normal things and not get distracted by, you know, watching him watching her.

Breastfeeding is a strange thing, Cassie originally thought that she'd be weirded out by it but she's not. She still doesn't do it in public and if she's at someone else's house she just finds a back room to go in but no, it's not all that bad.

Cassie and Liam spend all day together and Jon takes over when he get's home. Cassie doesn't make him, he really just wants to. He'll lay sprawled on the couch with Liam on his stomach, sometimes they fall asleep like that and Cassie has to take a picture.

Jon likes to talk to the baby when he's crying, or just sing a little. Songs that Jon makes up, charming little things about princes named Liam and how they go about saving the world. Surprisingly it all serves to calm the baby down. He definitly has his father's demenor.

Surprisingly, Cassie got a letter from Pete Wentz in the mail. He had somehow gotten her name from the hospital and found out her address. He sent the letter to find out how the baby was doing, if they named it Pete, and to offer her replacement tickets for the show she missed for the next time they were in town. Cassie starts referring to her son as her lucky charm.

+

Liam can't do much at two months old. He babbles and smiles a lot, sleeps and cries. Jenny still loves him a lot, comes over to see him and notes how every day he looks a little more like Jon. She says it like it's a bad thing.

Jenny is now eight months along and kind of miserable. She's just around the same time as when Cassie had her baby so now everyday Jordan is calling and making sure that Jenny didn't slip into sudden labor. Jenny really can't believe how much her body has changed three months. Her boobs would be the biggest thing, no pun intended. Seriously, she's had a pretty huge chest all her life but now, god, now she has boobs that are the size of the moon. They should probably be illegal.

"It's just the milk." Cassie says, she's currently breastfeeding her son, because she apparently has become comfortable enough to do that infront of Jenny, Spencer, and Ryan. At least she has him hidden under a little blanket.

Jenny makes a face. "I don't even like milk!" Ryan laughs and Jenny shoots him a glare. Ryan has become Jenny's constant tag along. That's Jordan's doing, the younger girl so paranoid that her wife is going to go into spontainious birth like Cassie did that she wants Ryan around to be there in case Jenny does.

"It's not about you liking the milk, it's about the baby." Spencer says from somewhere in the kitchen. He may or may not be here to see his godson or he may be here to see Ryan, the two of them who maybe starting dating a few weeks ago.

"At least we know the baby will never be hungry." Ryan pats Jenny on the back soothingly as the girl glares at him and Spencer. Jenny is due in December, one month from now. She's more than eager to get the baby out of her and actually get on with living, with being a parent.

+

Krissy makes Brendon drive her to Cassie's place. Krissy is severly irritated. She's nine months pregnant and miserable and her baby was due three days ago.

"Why are we going to see Cassie again?" Brendon asks, he bites his lip and looks at his wife. He's been a little bundle of nerves ever since Krissy missed her due date. The doctors just keep telling her to wait, the baby will come out when he or she is ready. The only problem is that Krissy is ready, everything is ready.

"Her kid came early, she has to know something." The blonde growls out. Brendon just nods, lately he's taken to giving into her more than usual. Krissy is mostly excited to just see her baby, to know whether or not it's a boy or a girl. Brendon doesn't mind which they get, Krissy doesn't really have a preference either. The point is that she's ready to meet her child and she can't, it feels like a perpetual christmas eve.

The two of them arrive at Cassie and Jon's place. Krissy's thankful that it's not severly cold out yet. She's gotten so big that wearing jeans is impossible. That leaves her in sweatpants and oversized t-shirts all the time. Walking hurts most of the time because her feet are swollen, she's hungry a lot, and her back aches. She's more than ready to have this baby.

Krissy and Brendon get inside the house, the blonde sitting in an armchair while Brendon bounces over to where Cassie is holding Liam. Jenny and the others are there too and Jenny is still pregnant but she doesn't seem half as annoyed as Krissy feels.

"There's my favorite little godson!" Brendon cooes at the baby, asking permission to hold him and once he gets it he scoops Liam up in his arms and cuddles him. It's freaking adorable.

"He's your only godson." Spencer deadpans from his position across from Brendon. The black haired boy pokes his tongue out at Spencer which makes Liam smile.

"You're just jealous because Liam loves me more."

"Of course he likes you more. He's with someone of the same brain level."

Brendon pouts and Ryan is trying so hard to hold in his laughter.

Seeing Brendon holding Liam just makes Krissy's want increase. She wants him to have their baby and cuddle their child, not that Liam isn't great but yeah.

"Cassie, any advice as to what I can do to make my baby come out like, now?" Krissy asks, slumping in her chair and her hand flopped over her eyes. The oldest girl laughs.

"Please, I wanted him to stay in. He was just too eager." Cassie anwsers but she's looking at her son and she's talking in baby talk, a habit she's picked up as of late. Liam notices his mother and waves his chubby little fists around.

"Maybe Patrick Stump could touch you. He seems to have the golden touch." Jenny jokes her hands resting over her own belly. Krissy groans.

"I feel like I'm going to explode." The girl whines. "My stomach is like stretched to the limit."

"Yeah, your baby must be huge." Spencer muses, giving Krissy a surveying look. That was a stupid thing to say in everyone elses opinion and the blonde glares at Spencer.

"Brendon, kick his ass for me!" The girl commands and Brendon looks at Krissy then at Spencer and blinks at him before he looks down at Liam in his lap.

"Can't, holding a baby." Brendon lifts Liam up and turns the baby to face Krissy. "Look, look at him cricket. You can't be mad when you're looking at a baby." Brendon tries to reason with his wife. He knows that she doesn't really want to beat up Spencer, that's just her crazy ass hormones talking.

"Give me the baby." Krissy says, making grabby hands. Cassie stands up and slides her son out of Brendon's hands, walks him over to Krissy. The pregnant girl props herself up better so she can hold Liam. She's had limited contact with babies but she figures she's pretty good at it.

Krissy props the baby up on her massive belly, Liam smiling at her and waving those chubby little fists around. Again it makes Krissy want her own child. She's sure she's ready, she's postive she'll be a good mom, Brendon's going to be a fucking amazing dad. They're ready and really, making them wait any longer is just plain cruel.

There's a sudden strong pain flashing through Krissy's stomach and yes, she's had those false labor pains before but this...this is stronger than anything else she's ever felt.

Shit, looks like she's getting what she wanted.

Cassie notices the pained look on the blondes face. "Kris? You alright?" Krissy manages to nod but it hurts and shit, she's still holding Liam.

"Yeah, just...take him okay?" Her voice comes out strained and Cassie has her son in her arms in an instant. Brendon and the others are noticing now, her husbands face strained and worried.

"Baby?"

"Bren...I think it's time."

"Man, you really are a lucky charm." Cassie is cooing to her son and okay, she is waaay too calm about this. Jenny is hoisting herself out of her armchair, going to get the phone. It seems she's the only one taking intiative here. Spencer and Ryan are up, Spencer saying something about wondering why in the hell he's around for the births.

Jenny asks about calling an ambulance but Krissy declines. She and Brendon have a plan, have had said plan since her sixth month of pregnancy and she very much intends on sticking to this plan, even if Brendon is kind of having a deer caught in the headlights moment.

"Brendon, hospital." Krissy suggests, she's trying to keep herself calm but now she's unbelievably excited. It's her turn, she won't have to be pregnant, she'll have her baby and she'll be all cute and in love like Cassie is with Liam. Brendon gets her up and it's around this time that her water decides to break, all over the carpet of Cassie's living room. She doesn't seem all that upset about it.

"Don't worry, we'll put newspaper down or something."

Fifteen minutes later Krissy is at the hospital. An intense pain is worming it's way through the lower half of her body. Fuck everything she had been saying before, she is no longer eager to have this baby. Brendon is acting like he's the one about to give birth, bouncing around like a crazy person all decked out in his hospital scrubs. He had somehow managed to get on his cell sometime between the car ride and now and tell Jon all about how he's about to become a father.

Jenny and Ryan followed behind their car. Cassie had wanted to come but she had the baby and didn't want to leave him with just Spencer, it wouldn't be fair to either of them.

So, now Krissy is laying in a hard hospital bed with her stomach on fire and Brendon is holding her hand.

"Does it hurt very bad?" He asks, his big brown eyes the size of saucers and filled with worry. Krissy nods and grits her teeth as pain wracks through her. She had asked the doctors about the drugs but they had told her that she isn't dialated enough. Dammit.

"Just remember how great what you're doing is baby." Brendon whispers, places kisses on her cheek and lips. "You're bringing our baby into the world. Our little person." Right, right, that was the whole point. To meet the person that she and Brendon had created.

"You're amazing." Brendon whispers to her, his voice calming her down. But really, that's nothing new. He kisses the side of her head and holds her hand. It's almost calming admist the chaos of the hospital, of the doctors and nurses coming in and out of the room, of the pain, the machines. For a moment it's just the two of them and it's so peaceful.

"God, this pain...it's unbelieveable!" The girl groans out. She had heard all about the pain from Cassie but no, you do not understand until it's happening to you. Brendon's petting his hand through her hair, his mouth to her ear and he's singing softly, her favorite songs. She smiles despite the pain because god, she loves him so, so much.

The blonde does her breathing, in and out, in, out, in, out. It's not helping all that much. About fifteen minutes after Brendon started singing to her the doctors come in to tell her that she can have her drugs now. That certainly helps the process along.

Brendon's biting his lips and alternating between holding Krissy's hand and going to peek over the doctor's shoulder as the blonde perpaires to give birth. The girl tries to judge how things are going based on the look on her husbands face. Brendon looks a mix of sheer excitment and fear.

It ends up taking a little under an hour for Krissy to give birth to her baby, a boy. He comes out wailing and Krissy wants to see him right away, all she can see is Brendon's back, shoulders slightly tense as the nurses clean off their son. Krissy slumps against the bed, she's finally able to relax now. The doctor though, he's still down betwen her legs.

"What's wrong?" The blonde asks, she's worried now because the doctors eyes are wide, so fucking wide. They've given their son to Brendon, he's holding him in a little white blanket and bringing him to Krissy.

"There's...there's a second baby.." The doctor says sounding astonished. Krissy's jaw drops.

"What?" No, no, that wasn't supposed to happen. Not two babies, they were supposed to have one. No one said...no one said anything about two.

"What? Oh my...how? How is that possible?" Brendon is asking, their son...their first child still in his arms. Still whimpering. The nurses come back and they take the baby away, need to label him or maybe just make sure that Brendon doesn't drop him.

"He must've been hiden by the first baby."

It all kind of makes sense now, why she was so huge, why her due date was late. There was two.

"Krissy...cricket....we're going to have two kids..." Brendon's saying, his voice is wavering as he turns to his wife. "Can you believe it?"

She can't, she can't believe that they're going to have two. From zero to two? Could they handle that?

"You're going to need to push again." the doctors are saying and she's so stunned that she can even manage to do it again. How fair is that? She has to go through this intense pain twice?

Five minutes later the second Urie child is born.

Another little boy with hair much lighter than his older brother's.

"There's two babies?" Jenny asks completely astonished. She, Spencer and Ryan are all standing out in the waiting room, much like they had done the day Cassie had Liam. Brendon nods dumbly, his entire body is numb but god, he's so fucking happy he can't even fully explain it. Krissy is in the room resting up while the babies are being placed in their little cribs in the newborn nursery.

"Apparently we didn't know we were having twins."

"That's it, I'm getting a new doctor." Jenny, the last remaining pregnant girl out of the trio says.

"But we have a problem guys." Brendon starts, brushing a hand through his jet black hair. "All the baby stuff...we only have enough for one baby." He states. Brendon's biting his lips, looking all kinds of worried and elated.

"Don't worry, Bren." Spencer starts, "Whatever you need. Ryan and I will go and get it for you." For all their bantering these people have all become extreamly close in the short time they've know each other. All bonded by the joy of having children. Brendon grins wide and rushes forward, capturing Spencer and Ryan in big bear hug. Jenny looking on and rolling her eyes.

Spencer and Ryan leave the hospital to go and buy one of...well, everything, for the second Urie baby. Jenny sticks around and calls Cassie to tell her the good news. The oldest girl is eager to come up to the hospital and Jenny can hear the girl telling Jon to buckle Liam up into his carseat.

Ten minutes later Cassie, Jon, and Liam are at the hospital. Brendon runs out as Jon sets Liam's carrier down on to the ground and just in time to catch the brand new father as Brendon throws himself at Jon.

"I'm a daddy Jon!" The black haired boy cries out. Jon pats his back ad laughs at his excitement.

"So, I've heard." He responds and Brendon untangles himself from Jon to throw himself, more gently at Cassie. Jenny comes out from the waiting room, a slight frown on her face.

"What's wrong with you?" Cassie asks, as Brendon moves from her down to his knees to greet Liam.

"I want my baby now." The youngest girl states, hands on her swollen belly.

"You're due next month." Jon says, Jenny glares at him.

"Quiet Walker, you already have yours."

"Enough talking, lets go look at my boys!" Brendon declares, he lifts Liam's carrier and leads the way down the hall. "Come on Liam, lets go look at your future BFF's."

+

The babies aren't identical. Close, but not completely. They both look a hell of a lot like Brendon. Baby A, as the first boy is temporarily being called, looks the most like his dad. Jet black hair, those infamous Urie lips. Baby B, he looks like Brendon too but his hair is lighter, an sandy kind of brown, almost blonde color. Something he inhereted from his mom.
