*SEVEN YEARS LATER*

June 23, 2022

I was now pregnant with Louis's third child. I had Kiersten (Louis's) and Ryder (Michael's), then got pregnant with Michael's second child and had Makenna Ruby on August 23, 2018. Almost two years later, I found out I was pregnant with Louis's second child, then had Kayden Daniel on April 9, 2021. Now, I was pregnant with Louis's third child, as I already said. I was about twenty weeks.

I had a checkup, and I was going to find out the gender, along with Louis. I was really excited. We already had some names picked out.

"Louis, are you almost ready to go?" I asked him. He nodded, and walked out of the house.

"Mikey, you're fine with the four kids all by yourself?" I wondered, just to make sure.

"Yes, babe, I'm fine. I've done this before. Go, so you aren't late to your appointment," he rushed me.

"Okay. I love you," I smiled at him and pecked his lips before leaving.

He repeated my words of "I love you" as I walked out of the door.

I got into the car and began to drive with Louis to the hospital for my appointment.

"Are you ready?" Louis asked to be sure as I put my seatbelt on.

"Yeah, I'm ready, and I'm excited. The baby has been kicking a little bit. I think he or she is excited too," I grinned.

"Well, then let's go and find out the gender of the baby," he backed out of the driveway and began driving towards the hospital.

When we got there, we waited for quite a while until the nurse called us in. Before she started the ultrasound, she asked if we wanted to know the gender of the baby. We both nodded our heads rapidly. We were both super excited to find out.

We started the ultrasound, and the nurse moved around the wand. After a minute or two, she stopped on one spot of my stomach and looked at the screen closer.

"You're having a boy!" She smiled at us, "Have you thought of any names yet?"

"Yes, we have," I smiled at Louis.

He replied, "Kaleb Joshua Tomlinson."

When we arrived back home, we told Michael, and he was happy. I sat down next to Michael, and Ryder ran to us and sat on the couch beside Michael.

Makenna walked up and sat on Michael's lap. Kiersten sat on the other couch and helped Kayden up. Louis sat with them after he put in a movie for us to watch.

"I love you," Michael whispered into my ear as I laid my head down on his shoulder.

"I love you too," I smiled.
