Twenty Five

                                    

                                          
Two More Years Later
                          
Morgan and Daniella have decided to give their relationship another try after a few months of hanging out and, as it turns out, they're extremely content with each other and are set to be married next month. The two have grown closer to Hardy and Caleigh, her being her maid of honor and him being the best man while also walking Dani down the aisle like originally planned. 
                          
Dani made the brave decision to sell her house and move closer to Nashville, next door neighbors with Hardy and Caleigh, separated by lush woods. The two couples hang out almost every Friday with a bonfire and guitars. Dani has been teaching Caleigh how to cook the right way, none of that west coast crap, real down home southern cooking and Hardy is absolutely loving it. 
                          
Daniella caved and let Morgan design the den, wood paneling and Volunteer merchandise and her fathers 30 point buck on the wall, Hardy let Morgan have it in exchange for the vintage poles he has on the walls at his house. 
                          
Every morning, Morgan and Dani wake side by side. Every night, they say some prayers and fall asleep side by side. She finally feels like she's loved, she has family. And she knows that her father is smiling down at her, no doubt about that. She never really patched things up with her mother, she felt better without it. She didn't see her for ten years so why change that all of a sudden.
                          
Daniella is about to drop exciting news on Morgan; she's pregnant. She wanted to wait until now to tell him because of what happened last time. She has something planned for him, she can't wait.
                          
Morgan finally gets back from running errands with Hardy and sighs heavily as he sits on the couch, kicking his boots off before lounging back against the cushions. "Babe?" He calls, noticing the house is silent, void of music. "Dani?" He stands and heads to their bedroom. "Daniella?" He opens the door and sees her smiling on the bed. "What?"
                          
"I got you something." She says, a box in her hand. "C'mere." She pats the space next to her, swinging her bare legs over the side of the bed, the big sweatshirt she's wearing hides the slight bump. 
                          
He shakes the box slightly, "what is it?"
                          
"Just open it." He sighs as he pulls at the tape on the side, peeling it off. He finally gets it open and looks at his fiancé with a confused look. It's an orange Volunteers onesie. 
                          
"What?" It finally clicks in his brain. "Are you- are you pregnant?" She nods, tears in her eyes. "Really?" He laughs, pulling her in for a tight hug, kissing her face over and over again. "How far along are you?"
                          
"Far enough along." He slides his hand to her belly and smiles wide. "Twelve weeks." He laughs with tears in his eyes. 
                          
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
                          
"We can find that out in a couple weeks." 
                          
"Oh my god I can't fuckin' wait." 
                          
   
                          
Morgan and Dani sit quietly side by side in the waiting room, his hand right around hers as his knee bounces. "Daniella Hunt?" They stand and head back to a room where she's instructed to lay down on a table. "This might be a little cold." Dani gasps slightly when the gel hits her skin, Morgan holds onto her hand. "There's a foot and a hand..."
                          
"What is it?" Morgan asks, squinting at the screen. "Boy or girl?"
                          
"It's a boy."
