Scarletts POV
Today, we're officially taking y/n to see her grandma for the first time. They've seen each other over facetime when I've been on call to her, but they haven't met face to face yet.
I can tell y/n is kind of nervous; she's not used to meeting new people and gets really shy easily. Every time I've introduced her to a family member, she's stood close beside me, looking down, tracing over her birthmark.
We're currently all getting ready to go to my mom. Rose can't wait; she loves her grandma, exspecaily all the treats she gets. Her grandmother spoils her.
Today, we're also going to break the news to my family about the new baby! I can't wait to see their reactions. They have no idea we've been trying, so they won't even be expecting it.
I walked into y/ns room to see how she's doing. "Hey honey, are you okay?"
She turned around to me, rubbing up and down her forearm. "Uh, yeah, just a little nervous" she mumbled.
I walked over and gave her a hug. No matter how big she gets, I'll always give her mommy cuddles. To comfort her and, well, just because I want to hug my little girl.
"It's okay, are you excited to break the news?" I asked her with a big smile as I pulled away from the hug, holding her shoulders and looking into her eyes.
"Yeah" she grinned. I could hear the nervousness in her voice. "Aww, baby, dont be nervous. Everyone loves you already, okay? "I reassured her, pulling her into another hug. I felt her nod into my shoulder before pulling away.
"How's my fit" she asked more confidently, giving me a twirl.
"Oo, love it, you look great honey" I smiled, admiring my little girl.
"Thank you, my mom got it for me" she said looking at her nails with the other hand on her hip. I chuckled at her and she dropped the joke and laughed with me.
"Alright, well we've gotta leave in a minute, I'm just gonna go check on the others" I told her as I exited the room. "Okay mom" she replied before checking herself out in her bedroom mirror.
I went into Rose's room to find her playing with her doll. "Hey honey" I said catching her attention.
"Hi, momma," she replied, running over to me and giving my legs a hug. I knelt down to give her a real hug quickly, she happily accepted.
"Are you ready to go to grandmas?" I asked, looking at he adorable little face.
"Yeahhh!" She cheered and punched her fists in the air in excitement. I grinned at her and gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"Okay, come on let's go get dadda" I said, standing up and taking her hand. She pulled my hand stopping me in my tracks. "What is it baby?" I asked.
"Can I bring my dolly?" She questioned running to get her baby doll off the floor, before returning back to me.
"Ov course baby" I told her, taking her hand again and continuing to mine and Collins shared room.
"Hi babe" Colin said to me, wafting his hand through his hair whilst looking in the mirror.
"Hello" I replied "Are you ready to go?" I asked. He looked at me and pointed to his hair. "Does this look fine?"
"Mhm" I nodded, agreeing with him. "It's looks perfect. "Okay then, I am ready" she said walking over to me, giving me a kiss on my lips, which I returned. It was soon broken by a little voice beside us.
"Eeee" Rose whined "that's gross"
Me and colin both chuckled at her comment, giving eacother one more peck on the lips. I turned back to Rose ad colin exited the room to find y/n. "Come on my little shadow" I playfully told her, poking her sides making her burst out in laughter.

We're all in the car now. I'm driving, Colin is beside me, and y/n and Rose are in the back.
"Who's excited?" I asked with enthusiasm in my tone.
"MEE!" Rose happily cheered in reply before turning he attention back to her doll. I chuckle at her little voice, that never fails to reply to me.
I looked up into the rear view mirror to see y/n facing out the window. She must be deep in thought. I brought my attention back to the road before glances into the mirror 1 more time, realising she's tracing her birthmark.
"Baby, you're gonna be fine" I reassured her, bringing her out of her gaze.
"Huh- oh- yeah, I know, I'm just- I can't help but feel nervous" she replied, now rubbing her hand instead, and looking at me. I turned back and gave her a soft smile, quickly taking my attention back to the road.
"How about you hun?" I asked colin. He looked at me. "I'm FUCKING PUMPED" He yelled and punched the air. Y/n laughed at his childish attitude. "Language!" I scolded him. "There's babies in the car"
"I'm not a baby, I'm a big gorl" Rose defended herself. "Thats right, Matierial Gworl" y/n replied to her, doing the 💅 hand sign. I chuckled at them both.
"You're both my babies" I told them and they playfully rolled their eyes in reply.

We've arrived at mom's House, it's about a 45 minute drive. Colin hopped out of the car already, he really is excited. I turned back to find that Rose is asleep, and y/n is just staring at her lap.
"Baby" I mumbled, reaching back and stroking y/ns leg, catching her attention. She pulled an airpod out of her ear, "Yeah mom?"
"Were here" I notified her, she gave me a smile, then turned to look at the house. She took a deep breath before hopping out the car.
I also got out of the car, pulling open the door of the back seat. I unbuckled Rose's seatbelt, and was about to lift her but quickly got interrupted by y/n.
"NO" She yelled before quickly changing her tone. "Mom, you're pregnant," she reminded me. "Here, hold this instead" she said giving my roses doll, and I laughed at her. She grabbed Rose and puck her up so Rose's legs were around her waist.
I shut the doors and made sure we had everything before locking the car and headed to the door, where Colin was impatiently waiting.
*knock*knock*
I could tell the waiting was killing y/n. I put a hand on her shoulder and rubbed it to comfort her.
"HELLO!" My mother excitedly greeted us, after opening her door. She gave colin a hug, then me before turning her attention to the kids.
"Y/n, its really you" she grinned. "Yup, it's really me" she replied happily, her nervousness seemed to have disappeared. "You know, I was there for your birth" Mom informed y/n.
"Oh- so you've met me before" y/n joked, but mom nodded in reply.
"Come in darlings" she insisted, moving out of the doorway, allowing us to walk in. I stayed behind y/n, hiding my little pregnancy bump from my mom.
Y/n turned to me with a questioning look in her eye. I raised my eyebrow, gesturing her to tell me what's on her mind.
"Where's the living room?" She whispered. "Over there honey" I told her pointing towards it. "Okay, thank you" she replied with a smile before waddling away with Rose still in her arms.
I made my way to the kitchen and sat down at the dining table. Colin was in the kitchen, already helping himself to a cup of coffee. "Do you want one hun?" He asked turning round to face me.
"Um, sure" I replied and he glanced me a smile before going to get another mug to make me a drink.
I lent my elbows on the table and placed my hands on my face, letting out a sigh.
"What's up?" A younger voice said, coming close to me. I looked up at y/n to see her now sitting beside me.
"Nothing honey, I'm fine" I answered, grabbing her hand, stroking the back of it with my thumb. She gave me a soft smile before looking away.
"Alright, so how have you guys been?" My mom asked as she walked into the room.
"Great!" I replied. "Me too" Colin agreed, now walking over to me and placing a cup of coffee in front of me. I mouthed the words 'thank you' and he gave me a smile before sitting down opposite me. My mom joined us at the table.
"Do you want anything darling, a drink? Food? I got plenty of snacks" she spoke, looking a y/n. "No thank you, I'm okay" she replied calmly. She's so polite.
"You're so polite" my mom stated, like she was reading my mind. "First impressions are important" y/n replied "well, in this case second impressions, my first impression I was butt naked, covered in slime and screaming my ass of" she joked making us all burst out in laughter.
"Quite the jokster hmm" mom stated towards y/n and we all just nodded and grinned.
"Umm, can I use the bathroom. Please?" Y/n asked hesitantly. "Ovcourse, no need to ask" Mom replied. "It's upstairs down the hall, ull find it" she added. Y/n nodded before leaving, heading up stairs.
As she left, we caught each other up on family gossip and other stuff, having alot of laughs. Colin exspecaily. He loves it here.

Y/ns POV
I left the kitchen and made my way to the stairs, glancing into the living room as I walked past, checking on Rose. She's still asleep.
I made my way up the stairs, stopping at the top. There's 2 ways I can go, which way is it?
I decided to just guess and go left. As I neared the end of the hallway, I noticed a door was slightly open and caught a glimps into the room. Something about it was pulling me towards it. I couldn't fight my urges, so I decided to go and check it out.
I slowly neared the room and pushed the door more open to get a better glimpse. It's a nursery, a baby nursery. I walked to the centre and admired every detail. Why is there a nursery?
Grandma doesn't know about mom being pregnant. Maybe someone else pregnant, and we don't know yet.
I walked up to the crib and looked inside to see a little soft blanket that looks untouched. In fact the whole room looks untouched, like everything was bought and never used. I puck up the small blanket, admiring the soft texture of the fury blanket. I felt a unique texture on the back so I flipped it over to check it out. It had the word (y/n) stitched into it. It was made for me?
I felt a hand softly touch my shoulder, scaring me out of my thoughts. I jumped at the touch and quickly turned around, still holding the blanket.
"Hi honey" my mom said sincerely to me with a soft smile.
"Oh- hi, I- I was just gonna-" I started trying to explain why I was here but couldn't find the right words.
"-Hey, it's okay, this is your room anyway" she told me. I furrowed my eyebrows, looking down at the blanket I was holding. A sad feeling suddenly overwhelmed me, and a tear slid out of my eye down my cheek.
The thought that my mom didn't get to use this room at all. She had it all ready for me. I bet she was excited to finaly use it, too. The changing table is still full of baby stuff, which looks untouched. The teddies are sitting in the crib waiting to be played with. The rocking chair is waiting to be occupied by a mother and her baby. Why is it only just now hitting me?
All the pain my mom must have really felt, waking up every day, being reminded that her baby she's been expecting isn't there to be held or washed or fed.
She must have noticed all the feeling that took over me as she pulled me into a tight, warm hug. I felt her press a hand against my head, and her other against my back. I wrapped me arms around her waist and pressed my face into her shoulder as I cried, real tears and real sobs were heard.
"I'm- sorry- momma" I said between sobs. "It's okay baby" she replied quietly into my hair as she placed a kiss on my head.
"You went through so much" I mumbled into her shoulder. I heard sniff, letting me know she's also crying.
I tighten my grip around her, and I feel her do the same to me in response. "I know baby, but I have you now" she reassured me.
"But that's not the point" I quickly replied, still crying into her shoulder. "You must have been so excited, but it was all taken away from you in the next hour! An- and I'm your first too, its the worst thing you could have been through" i continued.
I felt her nod into my hair. "It was" she said, honestly. I could hear the pain in her voice.
"I love you so much mom" I let her know. "So, so much" I sniffled. "I know, baby. But I love you even more" she replied. "I'm never leaving you again" I assured her.
She chuckled a little "I Hope you dont" "I wont" I stated, confident with my decision.
I loosened my grip and rested my head against her chest. "Did you ever use this room though?" I murmurd.
She took in a deep breath. "No baby girl, I didn't. I couldn't; it's your room and only yours." She sighed, now rubbing up and down my arm.
"Don't you think I'm a little too big for it?" I joked through my tears, to which she giggled.
"You really are a jokester, hmm?" she chuckled. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it" I laughed.
"It does need a bit of an update, though" she agreed, looking around at all the unused baby stuff. "Kind of sad that we never got to use any of if" added.
Then, an idea popped into my head. I stood up straight and look at her, face to face with a smile. "Well... who said we can't?"
She looked at me with a confused frown. I realised how that sounded and laughed. "No, not me- I mean you know" I said pointing to her bump.
"I mean, it looks gender neutral anyway" I added. "Hmm, I guess, I've gotta update the stuff on the changing table though, but that's a good idea" she replied.
I smiled at her and she smiled back. "Ugh c'mere" she pulled me into another hug. I giggled at her. "Sorry baby, I just loved hugging you, it makes up for all those year I never got to cradle you"
"It's okay. I love hugging you too; I mean, I did basically idolise you- and still do actually. And your my mother aswell which is part of the reason!" I added. I heard her chuckled before we released eachother from the hug.
She planted another kiss on my head and smiled at me. "My mini me" she said as she tucked a loose piece of my hair before my ear. I smiled softly back at her. I really do love my she's so special to me.
She cupped my face and wiped my tear stained cheeks with her thumbs, before wiping her own.
"C'mon, I'll show you around" she said, wrapping an arm around my shoulder, guiding me out the room.

We're all seated around the dining table now, talking to eachother. Before this, I chilled with my mom in her old room, admiring everything she used to own in her teenage years. She also showed me where the bathroom was, which I am really grateful for as I was getting desperate.
Currently, we're playing a game. Grandma has headphones on, blasting loud music, and we're saying things to her 1 at a time, and she's guessing what we're saying. It's a great bonding game, It's really funny too; we can't stop laughing at her.
Now it's time to break the ice- as in tell her about the baby. The chosen one to do that is Rose.
Mom lent down and whispered into Rose's ear to tell her what to say. She nodded in reply before turning back to Grandma.

We a nodded as she said the whole sentence happy she got it.
"I'm going to be a big sister!" She cheered, taking off the headset. Her eyes went wide in realisation, and grin dropped in shock. She covered her mouth with both her hand as she looked at my mom.
"Are you?" She asked in disbelief. My mom nodded with a big smile displayed upon her face.
"Oh my god" gran cheered as she got up and walked around the table to give mom a hug. "Really?!"
"Mhm" Mom agreed. "That's great!" Gran yelled as she went to give Colin a hug aswell. "Congratulations" she grinned.
"You're going to be a big sister!" She repeated, bending down to Rose, she responded with a happy nod.
"Oh gosh, this is great, how far along?" She asked, her attention going back to mom. "About 5 months now" she informed her, looking at Colin for reassurance of the months.
"Ahh, your having another baby!" Gran cheered again, and I just giggled at her happiness.
