"Look, Buddy!" Zach said as he pointed to a giraffe. "It's Uncle Daniel!"

"Zach!" Jonah laughed. We had stopped for lunch at a small cafe that was in the zoo. There were giraffes near by, so of course Jonah and Zach were making jokes. "Mama!" Noah excitedly exclaimed as he pointed to the ice cream. "Later buddy." I said and turned back to Taaliya. Noah nods and leans against me. Halo bounces in Jonah's arms and giggles. "I remember when Noah was that small." I smiled at the memories. "You two should definitely have another kid, you guys raised that angelic child." Taaliya smiled. "We said we would have more kids in the future, I just don't know exactly when." I confessed. Noah ate his chicken strips beside me. "If you guys want to try, Noah's welcome to stay the night at our place, we don't mind." She nods.

"I might just have to take you up on that offer."

Noah was holding Jonah's hand ahead of us as Taaliya held Halo while we walked to the koala area. Koala's are one of Zach's favorites, so far Noah's favorites were the zebras.

Zach held my hand as we walked. We trailed a little behind so we can talk privately.

"Taaliya and I were talking during lunch." I said. "About?" He enquirers. "Us having another kid." I whispered in his ear. "What did she say about it?" He asked. "She said they can take care of Noah for a night and we can try for another kid if we wanted to. They don't mind." I told him. "We might take them up on that offer tonight." Zach smirked. I laughed and slapped his chest. "What! You're thinking the same thing, I can tell." Zach deeply laughs. I blushed straight red and looked down. "I'm right aren't I." Zach laughed. I slowly nodded my head.

"Hey Noah! Do you want to have a sleepover at our house?" Jonah asked as we approached our cars. Noah looked back at Zach and I with a smile. We nodded. "Sure!" Noah exclaims before hugging Jonah. "We'll take him home and get him his things before dropping him off at your house." Zach nodded. "We can follow you two home and we can grab his bag and take him back to our place." Taaliya shrugs. "Second one just speeds up the process." Zach shrugs. I slap him on the chest. He laughs as he jumped away from me. "Second one it is." Jonah laughs and puts Halo in her car seat. Zach lifts Noah into our car seat and buckled him in.

Zach smirked at me before helping Noah with his snack. Taaliya and I stood outside while we waited for the guys. "They're so dumb." Taaliya laughs as she sees Zach almost fall out of the car. "You don't live with him." I laughed. "We better get going before Noah throws a fit that he's not at your place yet." I told Taaliya as we calmed down. She nodded and got into her car. I jumped into the passenger seat as Zach threw the applesauce away. I looked back at Noah. He had his arms crossed and a pout on his face. "What's wrong buddy?" I asked. "Daddy didn't tell me what you guys are doing tonight." He pouted. I covered my mouth as I laughed. Zach got into the car.

"He told you didn't he?" Zach laughed. I simply nodded before I burst out laughing. "Whatever, let's just get home." Zach said before starting the car.

We waved to the car retreating out of our driveway. As we went inside, I was pinned against the door after it closed. Zach slowly kissed my neck.

"Jump." Zach said as he moved his hands so they were on my thighs. I obeyed and jumped into his arms.

About two weeks later, the three of us went out to dinner. "Can I sit next to you, Dada?" Noah asked as we neared the table. "Sure!" Zach smiled as he lifted Noah into the booth. The waitress set the menus down and left. Noah collected his kids menu and colored the pictures. "What do you want buddy?" Zach asked him. "Chicken tenders!" He exclaims as he holds his crayon up. "This is totally our child." I laughed.

"What are you getting, beautiful?" He asked me as Noah looked back down at his picture. "Chicken Salad, you?" I asked. "Probably a burger." He shrugs. "Dada! Can you color with me?" Noah asks as he tugs on his dad's arm. "Sure, what colors do you have?" Zach asked. I smiled at the two of them.

Noah handed Zach a blue while he colored with a yellow. "So, if I am, you know, boy or girl?" I asked Zach. Noah was too into his masterpiece to process what I said, so he didn't even look up. "Girl. I would like a small princess." Zach nods as he colors with his son. A bright smile glows on his face as Noah shows him his artwork. "Mama! Look! I colored this for you!" Noah exclaims as he passes the small packet over to me. "This is beautiful!" I exclaimed as I looked at the artwork. They had colored a dinosaur.

A little drawing in the corner of the page caught my eye. It was a small rose with a ring around it. "Dada drew the rose!" Noah excitedly said. "Thank you guys." I said as I passed the packet back over to the other side of the table so he can continue to draw. The waitress returned and took our orders and got our drinks. "Do you guys need anything else? Another kids menu?" She asked. "Yes please!" Noah exclaims. She smiled at him and looks at us for confirmation. We nod and she runs off to get him another menu. Zach drops the crayon and reached across the table for my hand. She drops the menu off and scurries back to the kitchen.

"Do you ever think about what what happen if you didn't leave North Carolina?" He asks. "All the time. Like would we meet? How would I wind up? Dead?" I wondered. "I wouldn't go as far as dead, but definitely different." Zach laughed. Noah leaned against him after he finished coloring the first menu. "Have you been feeling sick in the mornings?" Zach asked as I watched Noah drink from his kids cup. Zach placed his other arm around Noah. Noah leaned into his father's side.

"Yeah, but not nearly like when I was pregnant with Noah." I shrugged. The waitress arrived with our food in hand. "Thank you!" Noah exclaims as Zach passes his food to him. The waitress smiles at the three of us before straightening up.

"Do you guys need anything else?" She asked. "No, I think we're okay. Thank you though!" I said after checking. She nods and walks away. "Mama? Can I try your chicken?" Noah asks as I drizzle ranch over my salad. "Sure, Buddy." I said. "Hand me your fork." I said. He excitedly hands over his fork and I grab a smaller piece of chicken to give to him. I hand his fork back to him and watch his reaction. He's never had grilled chicken, only fried.

"I like it!" He exclaimed. I laughed as I dug into my dinner.
