Chapter 123:

Alley POV:
"Stephen! Get your ass down here and bring Alex, Brandon and Jack with you!" I yelled as I stared at my living room that had junk food and crap laying around. I took Sammie out for dinner last night as a thank you for all she has done for me. I felt a little bad for Jack but I needed help with pregnancy things that grossed Jack out. While we were out the boys had a night of playing games and drinking, when Sammie and I went to bed they were still awake rough housing like boys do. I am now three months pregnant and starting to show, but with that I get tired extremely easily, we finally get to go see Julie to get an ultrasound and when my eyes landed on the site before me anger rolled off me. "YOU ALL HAVE THREE SECONDS TO GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE!" I roared, immediately footsteps rattled the house. Beth rounded the corner and a hard look set on her face. "Beth, come stand by me please." I said smiling at her, she lowered her head but did as I asked. The four men ran down the stairs tripping over each other before they stood before me. I narrowed my eyes at each of them. "Good morning princess." Stephen said shyly. "Oh don't you good morning me, what is this?" I asked, pointing at the mess of a living room. "Well we may have gotten a little crazy last night." Brandon said. I tapped my foot and tilted my head. "You look mad Alley... and it is kind of scaring me." Alex said, taking a step back. "Don't you dare move. Y'all left my living room a mess. Who is going to clean this shit up? Hm?" I questioned.
One by one their eyes fell on Beth and I turned to look at her, her face hardened and she narrowed her eyes. "Oh no I am not cleaning this mess up. All of you are." Beth snapped, Alex and Brandon started growling at her, she quickly took a step back before I stepped in front of her and let out a threatening growl. "Do not growl at her, understand me? She has every right to be mad at each of you! She busts her ass day in and day out to clean up after everyone. Apologize to her now!" I snarled. Both boys lowered their heads before mumbling their sorrys. "You three will have this spotless by the time Stephen and I get back, as a matter of fact this entire house will need to be cleaned." I said, stepping away from Beth. "Are you serious? What about Stephen?! He did this too!" Jack stated. "Stephen is coming with me to the ultrasound appointment and when he gets back he will help, I am giving Beth the day off." I said smiling at Beth. "Oh, no luna that's okay I'll help around." Beth said. "No you won't. This is their punishment now, go get pampered or swimming or whatever you like." I said looking at her. She didn't move at first, "Go on now, go relax for the day." I said waving my hands at her to get her to move. They all groaned and started to pout, which brought a smile to my face.
"The longer you all stand there and pout the longer it will take. Now Stephen we need to go before we upset Julie." I said, "Uh, yes we need to go the last time she nearly ripped my head off." Stephen replied with a huff. Thinking back on the memory made me laugh, I had started cramping really bad so he called Julie to meet us at the hospital and we were late and she gave him one good ass chewing behind it. As we walked outside I could hear the other three bickering on who has to do what. "I'm sorry we didn't clean up last night princess." Stephen said, "It's okay, you will help the others when we get back. Don't let it happen again, you know I like our home to be clean." I replied. "You're kind of scary sometimes you know." Stephen chuckled. "Oh I know I can be, I hate being mean to y'all but sometimes you all need your asses kicked." I replied laughing. "You need to have a talk with those two about growling like that, she didn't deserve that." I said. "I know, I will talk to them when I get back home, but truthfully I think you scared the shit out of them." Stephen replied. "Good, we don't treat others differently, everyone is free to speak as they wish so long as they don't get out of line." I replied, grabbing Stephens hand. Sparks erupted at the very touch and it was something I would never get used to and I never wanted to get used to it.
"We need to talk to Julie about why you've been so tired lately." Stephen said as we got closer to her office. "I know, the smallest thing exhausts me now and I don't know why. Maybe there is a supplement I can take or something I can do to help with it." I replied as Stephen opened the front door. "There you two are, I was wondering if you would be late again." Julie said, eyeing Stephen. "No ma'am not this time, I learned my lesson." Stephen replied, Julie's laugh filled the room, "Come on let's see how the baby is doing." Julie said as she walked towards a door. I wish Danny and Ember could have been here but since we have gotten back to normal, we decided to send him and Ember to school and each morning I cried my eyes out watching him be a big boy as he says. "We will show Danny pictures when we all get back home okay?" Stephen said, rubbing my back. "Lay down up here for me Alley and we will get started." Julie said, patting the stiff little bed that no one likes. Stephen helped me get up on the bed and I laid my head on the little pillow. Julie lifted my shirt and squirted cold jelly on my belly, I shivered a little bit but it quickly warmed up. I started getting a little nervous. This was the first time we would see our little bean, to hear his or her little heartbeat.
