"So dude, you excited about the baby?" AJ asked sitting in the passenger seat of my 7 seater black Range Rover I have, incase the boys are all in one car.

We're on our way up to Alex's beach house in two separate cars. The girls are in Atty's white Range Rover, she got from her parents for Christmas last year. The boys and I are all in my black Range Rover, I brought myself once I had enough money since I needed it if all the boys and I were to go in one car.

"Yeah, bro. I really am. I can't wait to meet my baby." I replied while avoiding eye contact. I do that when I lie, hoping they don't notice those things about me but AJ saw it straight away.

"Your lying bro. You avoid eye contact when your lying." He explained while crossing his arms across his chest to prove he was correct and that I couldn't get out of the situation. Alex, Nicholas, Conner and Jackson (who was in the very back) all leaned closer to know what was going on with me. They always do this, I swear I can never win with them.

"Okay fine. I'm scared, like scared shitless. Like what happens if I'm not a good enough dad, or I hurt my baby, or I get to scared and back out at the last minute, o-" I was cute off by Nicholas who put his hand over my mouth to obviously shut me up.

"Bro, calm down. One, it is completely normal for first time parents to feel nervous and scared. Two, how can you not be a good enough dad, look at the way you are with Scar! Three, you won't hurt your baby, because that baby will have you wrapped around his/her little finger. Four, if you got scared and back out at the last minute, you would probably loose all opportunity of being in your babies life. Because if you back out, you will be to scared to go back." Nicholas explained and ranted everything out to me about his opinion. He was right, he was unbelievably right. I've got to man up, I've gotta be my baby's hero, I want to be the best dad I can ever be to my child and future children. What, of course I want more kids with Atty!

"Your right Nic, I really need that so thank you." I replied while smiling at him in the rear view mirror.

"No problem mate." Nicholas patted my shoulder, than all the boys leaned back and went on their phones while I continued driving.

After finally an hour I finally pulled up into the circular driveway of Alex's beach house with Atty's car behind me.

Everyone got out of the cars and started unloading the luggage and taking it inside, putting it just inside the door and then coming back to get more. I walk over to Atty's car and open her door to help her out.

"Hey baby." I speak once I open her door, she looks at me and smiles that beautiful and amazing smile that I love on her.

"Hey A." She replied whole turning her body so her legs hung out the door. I loved what she was wearing today, she has on a black loose, but right singlet that really showed her growing belly from our baby, a long cardigan and some blue jeans that went wide at her ankles, why does she have to dress so cute?!

"C'mon Atty, let's get you inside and resting babe." I explained while taking her hand and helping her out of the car. Once she was out, she turned, closed her door and locked the car. Grabbing her tiny hand in my bigger one, we started walking towards the front door, where everyone else was already inside and taking their bags to their rooms.

This beach house the Alex's family owned was a 3 story, now it might not look like it, but there was an attic in the beach house, so whenever all of us would come down, Atty and I didn't have a room. So Alex's parents cleaned out all the attic and did it up into a room for Atty and I to stay in.

The beach house is on the beach and the beach is literally just in front of the house a few metres away, which is pretty cool. So coming through the front door you have an open walkway, on the right side, you have a walkway the leads to the lounge room where the stairs leading upstairs is, on the left side is the walkway to the dining room which has an amazing view of the beach in my opinion. Going straight down the entryway of the house is the big, huge kitchen that they have, no word of a lie, it's massive. Going back into the lounge room, you have a door of to the left of the couch, that leads to the big theatre room that we all love. Every night we are in the theatre room watching movies, it's like a tradition we have. Coming back out of the theatre room directly diagonal from there is the stairs that lead to the 5 bedrooms. The first bedroom on the left hand side is Alex & Bethany's room which is the colours of Grey, White and Black. Next door to them is AJ & Lilianna's room which is the colours of Pink, White and Black. Across the half from them, is Nicholas & Madelyn's room which is the colours of Purple, Black, Grey and White. Next door to them is Jackson & Abigail's room which is the colours of Blue, White and Grey. Diagonally across the halls from them is the big long study room that we have because Alex's dad's a lawyer and he's working most of the time so when they come down here they need a study room for him. Next door to the study room is Connor & Riley's room which is the colours of White, Black & Gold. Right next to their room is the stairs that lead to the attic where Atty and I's room is, which is the colours Green, Gold, Black & White. Overall the house was amazing and I loved coming here with everyone's that's when it's the most fun.

"Okay, so here's what's gonna happen." Alex called out in the lounge room where everyone was standing waiting to know what the plan was. "We're all gonna go upstairs, take our baggage up and unpack. Once everyone is finished, come downstairs and head straight to the theatre room. Bethany and I will get everyone snacks." Alex explained and everyone nodded their heads agreeing with the plan.

"Wait! Autumn, do you want anything in particular to eat?" Bethany called out before anyone could start walking off. "Since you know, pregnancy cravings?" She continued.

"Yesss!!! Can I have teriyaki beef stir-fry, with a peach iced tea?" She asked with a hopeful look on her face.

"Course babe, once Alex and I are dressed we'll head down to Coles and grab the ingredients and your drink. We'll be back in time for the movie." She explained and after that everyone took off up the stairs running off to their rooms.

It took Autumn and I a little longer than everyone else. 1) being where a floor above them. 2) she's pregnant and gets tired half way walking up the stairs. We did eventually get there, 10 minutes after everyone else.

"Atty, sit down on the bed and rest, while I unpack everything, okay babe?" I explained while walking over to our suitcases that I placed up here before.

"Are you sure Ace? I mean I can help you baby." She spoke up from behind me as I began hanging up her tops on the coat hangers the were in the walk in closet.

"Babe, your need to rest. Your tired, take a quick nap. I'll wake you up when I'm finished, then we'll head downstairs and go rest in the theatre room." I explained while walking over and placing a kiss on her forehead, before going back to unpacking. I didn't hear a reply from her so I figured she did what I told her too and when I walked out to check on her I was correct.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm starving! Are they almost finished?" Complained a whiny Autumn. She's been saying this for the past 5 minutes. I know, not that long! But still! Just give this pregnant women some food already.

"Here ya go Autumn! Dinner for you is served. Everyone else, come to the kitchen to grab your bowl." Alex told everyone, to which they all got up and flew to the kitchen. "Oh and Autumn, there is heaps more incase you want more. Bethany made a lot since you might want more being pregnant and hungry." Alex explained while slowly walking to the door with me close behind him since I had to grab mine, as well as Autumn and I's drinks.

"Thanks Alex, you and Beth are literally the best." She replied while having this huge grin on her face. Alex just smiled at her and turned as we both walked out the door, me following behind him.

"So how's things with you and Bethany going?" I teased why sending a cheeky smile over at Alex.

"Uhh... n-nothing." Alex stuttered, his eyes widened so quick knowing that I didn't believe him from the way he said it.

"Tonight you, me and the boys all downstairs in the living room tonight, after all the girls are asleep. No questions asked" I explained before speed walking past him and going to get our drinks, so that he couldn't question it.

The boys are gonna have a lot of explaining to do tonight.
