"You're not the only one," he muttered, pulling her close. "Screw helping you with your back, I decided I don't want to," he said, moving his kisses to her shoulder

Alaska laughed. "You're going to be a wonderful sister. I've seen the way you are with Bailey."

" I didn't need help with my back in the first place, " She said with a slight smirk, followed by a small groan from him kissing her shoulder. God, did she love this.

" Well, I am sure Bailey is going to like my little siblings to right? And Roger too? " Victor nodded with a happy grin.

"How did I figure as much?" Mav asked, an arm gently wrapped around her stomach. "You holding up all right?" He asked, talking about the crap that usually came with being pregnant

"I'm sure they will," Alaska said and remembered who Bailey belonged to...She did her best to keep her face from falling

Rose smiled a gentle smile and nodded slightly, " Yeah, I am holding up just fine.. other then morning sickness. I really hate that but I know it will be worth it later. "

Maria nodded, completely slipping her mind that Lani hadn't been around as of late. " I am glad then. "

"That's good," he said, jumping from her shoulder to her jaw. He spun her around so she was facing him and he made his way to her lips

Alaska nodded, not thinking fast enough to come up with something else to say

Rose's eyes seemed to sparkle with something unknown, her arms now wrapped around his waist holding him only closer. She loved the way he made her feel, she loved him. She knew that now, she never wanted to let that feeling fade for so long as she lived.. and so long as she was beside him. She grinned softly as he trailed kisses towards her lips.


Maria let Alaska go, smiling still. " Is it okay if I go back to coloring? I wanted to finish something special. " She asked with a new, very happy tone to her voice.

He tilted her chin up and gently kissed her lips, muttering something inaudible. He had his arms wrapped around her waist, and he gently tugged on her bottom lip with his teeth

"Yeah, sure," Alaska said. She wondered what she was coloring but figured she would find out sooner or later

Rose let out a very quiet moan at that, trying to be as silent as possible. Not like she cared if anyone heard.. she just didn't want Victor the raging to come after Maveric.

Maria happily ran off back to her room.
Victor seemed happy about all this now, " I guess you were right.. she was happy. "

At her moan, his heart stumbled a little then picked up, louder and faster than before. He had missed this. A lot. He smiled and kissed the tip of her nose

"I am always right," she said, putting a hand on his shoulder. It was a lie, though.

Rose grinned and whispered a soft, " I love you.. " To him, she never wanted this to end in fear of him returning to Ava.. but she dare not stop him. She wouldn't force him into anything.

" I know you are. " He said playfully, just glad it went well.
