"Sorry this was so last minute; our sitter still isn't doing the best." Grayson came over to Ethan and I's place really early in the morning.

"It's no problem at all." I smiled as he put down River and she ran into the house.

"Here is a bunch of things you can use to distract her if she's annoying you and some of her favorite snacks." He handed me a bag as I nodded. "Call me or Vivian if you need anything." He seemed a bit frantic.

"Grayson," I stopped him. "We'll be fine."

"Yeah, of course." He got out of his anxious mindset and smiled. "River, honey." He called for his daughter and she came trotting over. "Be good for Jordyn and Ethan, alright?"

"Okay daddy!" She smiled bright. She wrapped her arms around Grayson's neck and squeezed him tight. I couldn't help but let out a grin.

Grayson stood back up as River ran into the living room again. "Thanks again, Jordyn."

"It's no problem. Now go to work." I began to kick him out of my house. He gladly did so and I closed the door behind him.

"River, do you want some breakfast?" I asked her while walking into the kitchen.

"Yeah!" She jumped from the couch and ran over to the kitchen island. She climbed on one of the stools and smiled.

"Pancakes?" I looked over my shoulder to her.

"With chocolate chips."

"Good pick." I grabbed some ingredients from the fridge and drawer.

I knew the classic recipe by heart so it was very easy for me to make the batter quickly.

"Do you want to pour the chocolate chips in?" I pushed the batter and the bag of chips over to her. Her smile grew bigger and nodded multiple times.

She grabbed the yellow bag with two hands and practically dumped it all in the batter. I should've know that she would do that, she's a kid.

"More like chocolate chips with pancakes." I lightly laughed and grabbed the bowl from her. I mixed it all up and it was ready to put it on the stove.

"Jordyn, can you make me a quick cup of coffee? I'm running a bit late." Ethan asked from upstairs.

"Yeah, no problem." I yelled back and started a cup of coffee for him.

I flipped the first pancake on a plate and poured some syrup all over it. I cut it up into a bunch of small pieces and placed the plate right in front of River.

"Thank you." She smiled brightly and began to stab the pancake with a fork. I turned back around to the stove and flipped another.

"Hey." Ethan finally made it down the stairs while throwing his suit jacket on.

I turned around and he put his hands on my waist while he kissed my cheek.

"I had fun last night." He smirked.

"Uh, Ethan." I tried to point to River because clearly he didn't see her.

"You taste so-"

"Hi uncle Ethan!" River yelled just in time.

"River!" He turned around and said surprised. "What're you doing here?" He asked, but widened his eyes at me. I chuckled lightly.

"Mommy said Hannah's sick." She was talking about her babysitter.

"Oh wow, I wish someone told me." He glared at me and I really wanted to laugh.

I turned to the coffee machine and took the coffee that was in the travel mug and added some creamer.

I screwed the lid back on after putting everything back in the fridge and walked over to Ethan. I put my hand on his back as he was still talking to River.

"Thanks, honey." Ethan kissed my cheek and grabbed the cup from my hands. "Are you going to want help with her?" He pulled me away from the kitchen a little bit.

"No, I'll be okay."

"Are you sure? I can take a day off work."

"Yes, I promise, Ethan. Go to work." I pushed him lightly.

"Okay, okay." He took a sip of the coffee.

"Have fun at work!" River jumped down from the stool and hugged his legs.

"And you have fun with aunt Jordyn, alright?" He knelt down and smiled at her.

"I will!" She jumped up and down. Ethan kissed her forehead and stood back up.

"Call me if you need help." He took a step forward to me and I nodded. "Love you." He kissed my lips lightly and I smiled.

"Don't work yourself too hard today."

He turned back to me and smiled. He grabbed his keys from the table and walked out into the garage.

I walked over to River and placed her back on the stool. I began to make myself a cup of coffee as she was eating the rest of her pancakes.

"Do you have anything in your tummy?" She asked randomly with a bunch of syrup around her lips.

"What?" I chuckled.

"Mommy told me that babies live in your belly when they're really tiny."

"Oh." I smiled big. "I don't have any babies in my tummy right now."

"Mommy has a baby in her tummy."

My eyes widened. Vivian and Grayson were pregnant again?

"She told me not to tell daddy though." She played with her food. "She said that it was a mistake and daddy can't know about it."

"Oh my g-" I whispered. "Don't tell him, yeah?" I wanted to make sure that she wasn't going to say anything because this is some serious shit that Grayson and Vivian need to figure out on their own.

Did Vivian actually cheat on Grayson? Or was I just thinking of the worst possible thing.
