“Yeah I can agree on that.” She said.


“The Greatest.” She told him.

"It's a good place and I'm glad you're going there." He nodded.

"I guess it's about you." He smiled at her.

She nodded. “It’s somewhat close to home too. I’d feel better knowing that you and the kids aren’t that far away.”

She smirked. “It’s about everyone. How anyone can do anything they believe they can do and everyone is amazing in their own way.” She said. “It’s geared more towards the LGBTQ community.”

"That's what I like about it as well. The kids will know you're still with us." Peter took her hand.

"I really like that. Brandon will like it." He reread the lyrics.

She nodded and sighed, checking her phone. “I’ll be able to get some writing done.”

She nodded. “It’s also in dedication to that shooting at the gay club.”

"That's always good." He said.

"Oh yeah. Will the proceeds of the song go somewhere?" He asked her.

“Yeah.” She nodded.

Melody nodded and took a drink of water.

He continued to drive home.

"That's good." He fixed somethings then looked back up. "Ready to go again?"

She texted Melody.

Melody’s phone went off but she ignored it. “Yeah.” She adjusted her glasses.

He focused on the road.

"Okay from the top." He played the music.

“What do you want to do for dinner tonight?” She asked/


She listened to the opening notes, moving to the beat.

"Do you just want to pick up a pizza?" He responded.

He listened and watched her, adjusting things.

“Yeah we can do that.” She agreed.

She sang effortlessly, getting her hands into it.

"I can get the twins while you set the table." He said.

He smiled as he watched her.

“Thank you.” She smiled.

She finished the first few verses before stopping.

"You're welcome." He smiled back.

He stopped after she stopped. "That was really good."

She took his hand.

“I think I can do it better though.” She said.

He squeezed her hand lightly.

"Okay if you want to." He reset everything and started again.

“We have a lot to prepare/“ she said.

She did it al again, this time better than before.

He nodded. "yes we do but we can do it."

He smiled more and watched her do her thing.

“We’ll have to discuss it with Jessica and my brother/“ She said


She finished the song and took a drink of water:

"Yeah, they can help us with the move and look after the kids." He nodded

"Okay that one was great?" He gave her a thumbs up.

“Yeah.” She dug around into her bag and pulled out her planner.

“Thanks.” She said into the microphone. “Lets do the harmonies now.”

"If anyone else could help it would be good." He said.

"Okay." He reset for her to go.

She nodded and wrote some stuff down.

She worked on a few harmonies and melodies.

He nodded and continued to drive.

He watched her and to adjust things.

She closed her planner and stuffed it back into her bag. She looked at an app on her phone and sighed.


She did this for a few minutes then stopped, grimacing. She put a hand on her large belly.

"What is it?" He asked. "Everything okay?"


"What is it?" He asked. "Are you okay?"

((Sorry. Couldn't resist))

“I hope my new medication regulates my period. I’m late again.” She sighed.

“I need to sit.” Melody said, groaning a little.

He gripped the steering wheel. "Oh."

He stopped the recording and brought a chair in the booth. "Here. Sit."

“What?” She looked over at him.

She sat down with a huff and rubbed her belly. “Four more weeks.” She sighed.

((Idk if she should have the baby early or not.))

"Nothing. I just hope it is the medicine." He muttered.

"Have we even decided on a name?" He chuckled and knelt next to her.

((Your choice))

“It has to be. We prevent pregnancy.” She said.

“No.” She sighed. “We can’t choose.” She leaned back on her seat. She was feeling better.

"I know." He nodded. "The medicine is better than anything else."

He put his hand on her belly and rubbed softly. "Shepard is a unique name."

She nodded. “It’s just annoying.”


She smiled. “You like it?”

"I can tell." He pulled into their driveway.

He nodded. "Yeah, I do."

She unbuckled her seatbelt and made sure she had everything.

She grinned. “Shepard Grey Reed.” She said his full name,

He got out and walked with Caroline.

He smiled and kissed her belly. "Perfect."

She adjusted her bag on her arm and walked up to he house.

She giggled and kissed him back, wrapping her arms around him.

Peter opened the door and followed her inside.

Davis hugged her back. "I love you."

They were greeted by the wailing and screeching of violet.


“There’s going to be no third baby for at least three years.” She told him sternly.

Brandon came around the corner with Violet in his arms. "She really missed you."

"Definitely. I don't know how Peter and Caroline do it with four kids." He nodded.

“Oh my goodness.” Caroline put her things down and walked up to them. Violet practically fell out of Brandon’s arms and into Caroline’s. “shhh shhh I’m home honey. Daddy and I are here.” She said, not bothering to sign. Violet snuggled against her mother. “When did this fit start?”
“About ten minutes ago.” Jessica said, joining them.

“I just mean Finn and Shep are so close apart in age we hardly had time to just...be us I guess. A married couple.”, Melody said

"The others are asleep. Violet couldn't until she saw you." Brandon said.
"Hopefully she missed both of us and not just Caroline because it's gonna be a tough few months."

"Yeah. Finn came along right after we married. It was only you and I for nine months. "He said

Caroline just sighed and rocked Violet, calming her down. Older kids were good?” She asked.

She nodded. “I want to focus on my career too.”

((Notes aren't working))

"Yeah, they were fine. Helped take care of the young ones." Brandon told her.

"I'd like to help you. Though I suppose I'd have to take care of Finn and Shepard more." He said.

((Mine are working fine))

She nodded. “I move into the facility next week.” She told her brother.

“Well I’m going to take time off for Shepard.” She told him. “This pregnancy was hard.” She said.

((Must be me))

"Next week?! Wow, they move quick. We can help if you want us to." He looked over at Jess.

"Yeah, it has. I'm looking forward to spending time with as a family and not having to worry about anything." He nodded.

She nodded. “I need do it and I need the treatment ASAP.”
“I have exams at the end of the month but I should be able to help.” Jessica said.

She smiled and nodded. “Yeah.”

"Whatever you need we'll do it," Brandon said to her.

"I think your sister tried to get ahold of you," David said.
