It's been about three months seen Tala has seen her dad, so this weekend, we are going to fly up to Maine and see him.
"Be good Tala." Sue said to Tala and gave her a hug. She stood up and wrapped her arms around me.
"Now remember what the doctor said." She told me in her motherly tone.
"I Know Momma Sue:get plenty of sleep and no lifitng over fifty ponds." I said. She hugged me again and we boarded our plane.
We landed in upstate Maine a couple of hours later. I carried Tala out the gate and to the luggage carousel. I saw Nessie there, waiting for us. He ran over and gave me a hug, and took Tala out my arms.
"Lanise, look how big you've gotten!" She sqeauled.
"Do you know what it is?" She asked as I pulled our luggage of the carousel.
"Can you take the luggage for me?" I asked her. She handed Tala back to me and Took the luggage."I'm having a boy." I said as we walked towards the exit. She smiled.
"I bet Seth is super excited!" He said. I frowned a little.
"Well, he doesn't know, so don't tell anyone!" I told her. She shook her head and we got in the car.
We pulled up to the house about an hora later, Tala was still sleep. I look at the house and saw Seth running out. He smiled at me and I smiled back. I got out the car and he stopped in his tracks. He looked at me and walked over slowly. His hands where out and he touched my stomach, and the baby kicked him. He looked at me with bewilderment on his face.
"He's gonna be a futebol player." I joked.
"WE're having a boy." Seth said. I shook my head yes. he walked over to the car and grabbed the luggage. Nessie already grabbed Tala and took her inside.
After we got settled in and put Tala in bed. We sat on the sofá and relaxed.
"So, after the baby is born, you could send Tala back and in a couple of months you could have them both." I said. Seth looked angry.
"Lanise, why are you doing this to us?" He asked.
"Stay here with me, I miss you, I miss Tala. I don't want to miss your lives." I looked at him.
"I miss you too, but I don't want to leave my dad." I said.
"You can't be serious.You left him before, besides I heard he has a girlfriend." I rolled my eyes.
"I'll think about it." I said...I was gonna say yes, but I would tell him that later. We sat there and turned on the t.v. A couple of minutos later Nessie,Leah,Jake and Matt, Leah's imprint walked in and sat across from us.
"What are you going to name him.?" Leah asked. I9 glared at Nessie. She shook her head no. Leah saw my face.
"Mom told me."She said. I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"Well, I was thinking about Lucas Cole Clearwater." I said. I looked at Seth was was now smiling.
"I like it." He said and agreed. I looked at the clock and got up and started to walk towards the bedroom.
"Where are you going?" Seth asked me.
"I have to go to bed..Doctors orders." I glanced at Leah"But I'm sure you already know." I said. She just smiled and laughed at me. I laughed back and continued walking towards the bedroom.

"When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our respostas were things like astronaut, president, or in my case… princess.
When we were ten, they asked again and we answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how 'bout this: who the hell knows?!
This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, its time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in amor - a lot. Major in philosophy 'cause there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent.
So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… we won't have to guess. We'll know."
