RP:]] St Luke's Reform School For Young Gentlemen

"Ow, oh OK, this isn't going to work," I laugh as I squeeze out of the threesome we are trying to get up the stairs as and walk behind Brian and Zoe instead.

"Yeah, we got you some really nice stuff Sweetie. At least we know you like purple now," I say as we walk up the stairs together, as a family.

I will never get tired of thinking that.

"Yeah, it's the best colour." She agrees.

I look back to Coby with my tongue stuck out, "Yeah, outnumbered!"

We all reach the top of the stairs where the threesome can reconvene, thanks God for wide hallways. We walk down to Zoe's room where Coby and I let go of her hands.

"You want to do the honours, hon? It is your room after all, you deserve first look."

"Pft, you both know green totally rocks the colour wheel," I mutter to Brian with my arms crossed over my chest.

I look back over at Zoe whose stood in front of her room, a sign already there that has her name painted over it with little smiley faces and flowers, one that Chris made for her as my one that was there originally was crappy.

"Yeah, OK," Zoe says before her hand reaches the door handle and she turns in slowly and steps into the room.

I smile as soon as I can see the lilac painted walls from the corner of the door. Me and Brian both look at each other before walking into the room after Zoe.

I reach across to hold Coby's hand now. I might need the support to stop myself from crying like a dick at how amazing this is. Our little girl, finally seeing her very own room in our house. I've dreamt of this for so long, even before we were a couple.

"You like it, Zoe?" I ask as she picks up the huge teddy I couldn't resist.

She nods, poking her head round from the side of the bear, "It's like a princess room!"

"Well you're our little princess." I say, welling up as I do so, "You want to see the special surprise in here?"

She nods her head emphatically, "Yuh-huh!"

I point in the direction of big square shaped thing, covered with a white sheet, "It's under there."

MEANT TO BE JACOBY

A princess? Our little princess. I smile to myself, and look over at Brian who looks like she's about to cry with happiness. I laugh a little sigh of a laugh before putting my arm around him and kissing his ear gently.

Me and Brian both watch on as Zoe looks under the sheet, as if she's not allowed to look under there. I can't help but laugh at her curiosity.

"Zoe, you can look, it's not going to bite you," I say to her.

As soon as I say that to her, a smile graces her face and she pulls off the sheet. And as soon as she sees what it is, she lets out a huge over-dramatic gasp.

"Woooooooow!"

"A hamster!" She squeals.

She runs across to me and Coby, hugging us quickly before running back to her new friend, poking her little finger through the bars to stroke it's nose. I knew this'd be a good idea.

"I knew she'd love it." I say, smiling over at Coby, "Fuzzy creatures, always the way to a girls heart."

MEANT TO BE JACOBY

"I had no doubts at all," I tell Brian as I keep my arm wrapped around his midsection.

We both watch on as she talks to the little fuzzy ball in the cage. I personally think a kitten would have being better, but I was always one to love cats, even though they make me sneeze.

"So, Zoe, what are you gonna call the little guy?" Or girl? I'm not even sure what the sex of the hamster is, all I remember is Brian bringing it home one day with a huge smile on his face.

"Uhhhh." Little Zoe scratches her chin in contemplation again, possibly the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen. She looks back at her new pet, studying it intently, "Well, he's got gingery bits, see? What about Pepper? Cuz he looks like he's rolled in some."

The little hamster makes a tiny squeaking noise which causes Zoe to giggle, "And he sneezed."

I look to Coby, "The logic is flawless."

"It is, looks like we are going to have a little genius on our hands, might be nice for someone in this house to have some brains," I mutter to Brian before grinning innocently at him.

But suddenly my grinning is cut short when I hear the doorbell go off downstairs.

"Oooh, and that's my cue," I say to Brian before looking back at Zoe.

"I'll be right back, just gotta let the Baker-Sanders rabble in," I say to Brian, and to Zoe as well, even though she doesn't really know who I'm talking about and she doesn't really seem to care either.

I smile at them both as I walk with a pace out of the door and down the stairs to answer the door.

I glare after him before walking across to Zoe and kneeling by her, a hand on her shoulder, watching as she strokes Pepper's nose.

"I like it here, Brian. You're nicer than my other family." She says, cuddling into my side, "And you and Cobes love each other more than my last mummy and daddy. You don't shout at each other."

I smile at her, "Well we do. But normally only when he's eaten the last cookie."

She giggles again, "That's gonna be my job now."

"Oh yeah?" I ask, gently poking her belly, "Are you going to eat all of our food?"

She nods, "Yep!"

I jump down the last step happily with a small shout out, not even sure what I've said but I laugh at my own happiness anyways before running over to the door.

"Sup... Courtney?" I'm surprised that she's actually here early, and without the other guys too.

She smiles at me and walks into the house, her baby bump becoming more pronounced now and her breasts... woah. OK, I hope she's not going to any clubs any time soon, because she is NOT leaving anything to the imagination there.

"Where are the others? Or," I look at the clock on the wall, "you're early? What's happened?"

I laugh at Jacoby's worried face.

"There is nothing wrong Coby. It's just Aaron suggested we drove back here earlier so we could miss all the New York rush hour traffic," I say to Jaocby as I take my coat off and place it on the banister before looking around at the door to see Aaron stepping up the steps.

"Hey Baby," I say to him before looking back at Jacoby, "this is my uncle Jacoby. Coby, this in my boyfriend, Aaron."

I walk over to Aaron and wrap my arm around his waist, his hand automatically going to my stomach, automatically protecting his little baby boy inside me.

"It's nice meeting you Coby."

"You too Aaron," I nod to Aaron as I look over him.

Well, he looks a lot nicer than the last guy she was dating. The one that was the same age as her, the one after Josef who turned out to be the same type of guy as him. Not good.

I look over his body and his face, taking in the jeans, t shirt and the fact his hand is over Courtney's bump and that's just a big plus for me to know that this guy is perfect for my little neice.

"So, you ready to meet little Zoe?" I ask Courtney with the same smile on my face that I have had for the whole day... hell, whole week.

"Ooooh yeah! I can't wait to meet the little princess. I just hope she doesn't get scared by all this," I say before drawing a circle around my face to illustrate the point that my face is now covered in piercings and my hair is dyed bright green, something I didn't think I'd do a few years ago.

"And now, there is finally another girl in this family unit to team up with," I laugh to myself, I say this every time Chris gets a girlfriend now, and I swear I have said it so many times that if I had a quarter on every time I said it, I could pay for my unborn kids college funds already.

"So, where is she? With Brian somewhere?" I ask Coby, looking really forward to meeting her now, from what I have heard from talking to my Dad's over the phone, she's a little sweetie, well, I found that out after they yelled at me for having naked pictures of me on the net that Brian found.

I smile as I watch Zoe playing with her new hamster, giggling whenever the little ball of fluff nibbles on her finger. I'm glad this wasn't too much for her.

"So, would you like to go and meet the rest of your new family? New Uncles and cousins?" I ask, smiling at her, "I'm sure Pepper would like to get used to the light in your room now. He's been under that sheet all day."

She nods, "And he can play on his wheel too!"

"Yep." I agree, "Come on then, sweetheart."

I stand up and she takes hold of my hand, "Bye bye Pepper! I will be back later, 'kay?"

"Well, he's just showing her her new room so..." I say before I hear the door upstairs shut and I know that Brian and Zoe are on their way down.

"Or, he'll be coming down now," I laugh with a shrug.

"Well, I'll let you get to know little Zoe, I'm just going to get lunch on as I have being way too nervous to cook today," I say before bidding my goodbyes to Courtney and her boyfriend and making my way out of the room and to the kitchen.

Little Zoe and I make our way down the stairs, her hand gripping mine tightly as she sees the new people waiting in the hall. Poor girl, this is a big deal for her.

"Who's that, Brian?" She asks, gesturing to not-so-little anymore Courtney, "She looks like an alien."

I can't help but laugh a little at this, "Well, she's a friendly alien. That's your cousin, Courtney. She's nice really."

She looks up at me a little unsure, "So she won't eat me?"

I shake my head as we reach the bottom of the stairs, "You'll have to ask her."

I step back from kissing Aaron on the lips, a big smile on my face as he tells me that he loves me. How in the world did I get so lucky?

I turn back to the stairs when I see Brian walking down the stairs with a little girl with long, straight blonde hair and big brown eyes staring at me, a little in fear, but I can't really blame her.

"Hey Zoe! I'm Courtney, your cousin. Aren't you just adorable? I love your dress."

I hope I'm not being too overbearing, but ever since I have being pregnant I find that I aww and go all ga-ga over little kids a lot more than I used to.

She looks up to me as if to ask if Courtney's really okay to talk to. Poor kid. Maybe we should have given Court a hat. I nod down to her.

"Thank you." She mumbles, looking down at her feet.

"She's a little shy around strangers." I explain, "And you are pretty strange. But I'm sure she'll be fine with you in no time."

"Of course I'm strange Brian, it's what makes me who I am," I laugh, placing my hand over my heart and smiling.

"But, I did get you a little something anyways," I say back to Courtney before digging into my bag and fishing out a bag of chocolates that I got for her.

I walk over to her and get down to her level, with some difficulty due to my bump.

"But don't tell Brian," I whisper to her before winking at her and smiling as I hand her the little bag of candy.

I look down to see the two girls giggling over something. Well that was easy enough.

"So Courtney, how's the pregnancy coming along? Do you know what you're having yet?" I ask, "I mean, aside from the spawn of Satan."

It's become too easy to tease her these days. She's brought it upon herself really. I've often had great fun when she's crashed here with her face and magnets.

Well, at least I know I can always bribe kids with candy now, you learn something new everyday.

"Oooh, haha Brian, you are so funny," I say with a mock snort before rolling my eyes and standing to my feet.

"Actually, it's coming along great. No morning sickness, minor mood swings and a craving for donuts that isn't effecting my weight at all!" I laugh before walking over to Aaron and lacing my arms around his waist and hugging him close to me.

"But, we're not really sure yet what I'm having. I've just got a hunch that it's going to be a boy. And I think Aaron really hopes it's a boy," I grin.

"Well I suppose with your testosterone levels, it's very possible."

I smirk at her as she just continues to glare. I'm terrible. I should stop this before Zoe gets the wrong idea. I don't want her to think that Courtney's a bad person and it's good to insult her.

I peer down at her to notice she probably isn't paying any attention anyway, she's just stood happily munching on some bright pink gummy worms.

"So do you have any idea when the rest of your family are going to turn up?" I ask.

"Testosterone? Ooooh Brian, need to show you the perks of being pregnant?" I say to him with a smirk on my face and my hip cocked out to the side.

I stop smirking as soon as I hear the mention of the rest of my family. Yeah, that's not as smooth as it used to be anymore. They haven't seen me in a good year, we've spoken on the phone but I haven't being home.

I look over at Brian, "er, yeah about that..." I turn back to Aaron and lower my voice a little.

"Erm, Aaron, do you think you could take Zoe into the kitchen to see Jacoby? I need to talk to Brian about something," I ask Aaron, placing my hand on his chest and giving him the look that makes him know what I need to talk to him about.

"Ooooh, right, yeah sure. Er... Zoe honey, you wanna go and find your Da...er, Jacoby with me?"

Zoe nods and takes hold of Aaron's hand as they wander off into the kitchen, Zoe telling him about her new hamster and how she likes it here coz everything's purple. She's adorable.

I smile after them before turning to Courtney, gesturing into the lounge, "Is everything okay, Court?"

I don't know if I could deal with any kind of major confrontation today, it wouldn't be fair on Zoe. She doesn't need her first day to be full of yelling and tension.
