Sunday, 28th February, 2010It had been two days since David and Stacey had gone to speak with Doctor Savarna about the possibility of resuming sexual intercourse because Stacey had felt she wanted to have another baby. However the doctor had told them that with the previous complications during Ebony’s birth that it would be advisable to wait at least a month or two. David could tell that it wasn’t the answer Stacey had wanted but in the end they had both understood that it was too risky and it would be best to wait, following the doctors other suggestions instead. Earlier that day Stacey had suggested that they visit with his mom and sisters over the weekend and David had agreed and thought Sunday would be the better day out of the two because his mom loved to cook a roast on a Sunday and when he had called when they got home on the Friday to see how she would feel about a visit on the Sunday she had jumped at the chance. Denise and Darla were in the background squealing with delight because they were so happy at the prospect of seeing their baby ‘niece’ Ebony. David had chuckled at their obvious excitement which he had heard down the phone clearly. David had agreed that they would try their best to get there for around two in the afternoon and it was now one thirty. It would take about half an hour to get to where his mom and sisters lived so David turned to Stacey with a bright smile on his face, “Are you ready to go yet honey, is there anything you need me to do or collect? Ideally we should be getting ready to leave about now if we want to get there for two in the afternoon. Mom and the twins are so excited about seeing Ebony.” David chuckled again as he remembered the conversation and then he kissed Stacey on the cheek and then went to get his jacket and picked up the house and car keys from the fruit bowl on the coffee table. Yes that’s right, David had a separate fruit bowl where he kept his keys because he used to have a habit of tossing them down and sometimes they would slip onto the floor and hide under the sofa, at least with a spare fruit bowl he actually had somewhere to put them. {ooc - guess I didn't do too badly with the thread image lol}

{ooc - love the image Mands - and will have to get a copy of that image of Anne Hathaway ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) } Two days had passed since Stacey had gone with David to talk with Doctor Daniel Savarna. Stacey had spoken of wanting to have another child, and after being examined, Daniel had expressed his concerns and suggested that they wait a month or two. She was rather down about that answer, but after leaving, she had thought about it more, and decided that it would be best to wait than end up in hospital. Stacey was happy that David had been supportive through it all, and they had decided to just do the suggestions that Doctor Savarna had mentioned and what was in the brochure that he gave them. Now it was Sunday, and after Stacey suggested that she speak to David's mum about anything and everything to do with pregnancy, Stacey then said that they could go that weekend. As Stacey put on her shoes, she heard Ebony in the nursery, so she got up and quickly went to her. Picking her up, Stacey smiled at Ebony, who was smiling back at her. "Hey sweatheart. Going to come to see grandma?" Stacey kissed Ebony on the head, then brought her out, along with her nappy bag, and other bits and pieces that she would need when they were going out. Stacey soon met up with David, who asked if she was ready to go yet, adding did she need him to do or collect anything. After he said that they should be getting ready to leave, Stacey gave him a smile. "Well, could you get the two bottles of milk out of the fridge? I expressed some before, just in case." Stacey knew his mum would be totally fine with her breastfeeding, but you never know when Ebony might not want to feed off of her, so in those cases, she always gave David the job to feed her instead with the bottles. "I have everything else, so we are right to go when you get those." Stacey headed towards the front door, and waited for David to get the bottles. Then she called out, "Um, David sweetie, could you get that last roast pork sandwich out of the fridge. I didn't get to finish it earlier at lunch." Then in a normal voice, looking at Ebony in her arms, she spoke to her, "Because you just needed my attention." Stacey touched her nose, then kissed her on the forehead. Ebony made a gurgling noise, which made Stacey smile all the more at her. She was so darn cute.

{ooc - thanks Mel - but it always helps when both images are set on the same colour background lol} {fixed the link lol} When David had asked Stacey if there was anything he could do to help or anything he could collect for her in order for them to leave he smiled as she replied and asked if he could get a couple of bottles of milk from the fridge adding that she had expressed some earlier in case. He knew it was just in case Ebony wouldn’t feed from Stacey and David would feed her with the bottle instead, and sometimes at night to give Stacey her rest he would feed her with a bottle then too. David smiled warmly at her, “Sure honey, I’ll go get them.” He was about to head into the kitchen when Stacey spoke some more saying that once he got the bottles she was right to go. David nodded, “Alright, well make your way out to the car then, I’ll only be a second.” He then headed into the kitchen to grab the bottles from the fridge. As he reached the fridge he heard Stacey shout out asking if he could retrieve the last roast pork sandwich while he was there as she hadn’t got to finish it at lunch earlier. “Sure honey.” He called back and then looked and soon found it, grabbed it and the two bottles and soon enough he was at the door. He handed Stacey the sandwich and put the bottles onto the top step as he locked the door to the house and then he picked the bottles back up and pushed the button to release the alarm and locks on the convertible and then quickly opened the passenger door. “Do you need a hand getting Ebony into the seat honey?” He asked as he then slipped the bottles onto the backseat beside Ebony’s baby car seat. Once Stacey replied he made his way to the driver’s side, pulled his seatbelt over and once he knew that both Stacey and Ebony were safely in the car he started the engine but before taking off he switched on the cd player on and turned the volume down to a reasonable sound and then flipped through the cd’s until he found Dominic’s first album the American Idol EP which he released through the manager assigned to him at the time and the first song began to play called 'A Change Is Gonna Come’ and he turned to Stacey, “I love this album, the different songs on it really show his vocal range.” Then he suddenly remembered that he had the gift for Ebony in his pocket, something he was meant to give to Stacey on Friday after everything was made official and he clean forgot. He fumbled in his pocket until he got his hand around the box and then he took it out and handed it over to Stacey giving her a small smile, “I meant to give this to you on Friday for Ebony after we made everything official with the adoption, I hope you like it.” The box contained the following:- ![](http://i44.tinypic.com/11ablzt.jpg) It was a silver baby bangle with the inscription on it saying ‘Love Daddy’, he then turned the key in the ignition and began the journey to his mom’s house. The traffic was fairly light what with it being a Sunday, so about fifteen minutes later he was pulling up outside his mom’s house. He stepped out the car, grabbed the bottles and then grabbed the baby bag so all Stacey had to contend with was Ebony. Once she was ready he made his way up to the front door of his mom’s house and knocked on the door. Minutes later the door was opened by Cassie. She immediately enveloped David in a hug, “My darling, how are you?” David smiled at his mother, “I’m fine mom thanks.” She then looked at Stacey and Ebony, “Oh my look at the both of you, you’re both glowing and beautiful. It’s good to see you again Anastacia.” She then gave Stacey as much of a hug as she could because Stacey was holding Ebony and kissed her on the cheek. She then stood back to let them in and David allowed Stacey to enter first. He followed them inside and closed the door behind him and he hardly got into the living room when Denise and Darla came running out to him and virtually jumped up onto him trying to cling onto an arm each. David bent down to their level slightly, “Hey you two, how’s my favourite sister’s doing?” They looked at him with bright eyes shining and in perfect unison they answered, “We’re fine.” Which made David chuckle, he loved the way they did that. “Your brother isn’t superman though sadly, and there is no way I can carry you both through into the living room.” He then patted the both of them on the back of their heads lightly as he stood back up and began to make his way into the living room guiding Stacey with his hand on the small of her back. {Disclaimer - song belongs to Adam Lambert - borrowing for my character Dominic based on the singer}

After Stacey said that she needed the bottles, David went and got them, and he told her to make her way out to the car. She was about to open the door, when she had remembered the sandwhich, which David acknowledged. She had then spoken to Ebony, touching her nose. Stacey opened the door, and headed out to the step. David soon joined her, handing the sandwich to her, which she took. He soon had the door locked, and Stacey made her way to the car.
She heard the car unlock as David used the remote on his keys. Stacey opened the door to place Ebony in the baby capsule. David asked if she needed help with getting Ebony in, but Stacey shook her head, as she dumped the sandwich on the passenger seat. "No thanks, David. But if you can take her bag, and put the bottles in the little cooler bag that you will find in the side of the nappy bag, so that they can keep cool, that would be great." Stacey handed the bag, after taking it off her shoulder, then placed Ebony into the capsule, and making sure that she was secure. After that was all done, Stacey picked up her sandwich off the seat, and sat down, placing the seatbelt over herself.
She quickly then began to eat her sandwich, feeling a little hungry after not eating all of her lunch. David then started the car, but Stacey then saw him get a cd out, which she smiled at, after seeing the choice made. Hearing the song, it made Stacey close her eyes for a second, then open them to hear what David had to say. "Definately." They still didn't head towards his mum's house, and she wondered what he was doing now, as she watched him move his hand to the pocket of his jacket. Then he handed her a box, and hearing what he said, she bit on her bottom lip a little. A smile spread across her lips, and Stacey opened up the box.
She gasped a little, then smiled more at David, "It's gorgeous. Thank you, and I know she will love it." Stacey looked down at it again, just loving how David was towards her and Ebony. It really made her happy all the time. They soon headed off, and got to David's mum's place in good time. Once they stopped, Stacey got out, and then picked up Ebony out of the baby capsule, and saw Ebony looking at her. Stacey smiled down at her, and waited for David to get the rest of the stuff. But then she remembered the present, and put Ebony back in her capsule, and placed the bracelet over her right wrist. Stacey put the box in her bag, and then picked up Ebony again, placing her in her arms.
She followed David up to the front door, and watched as he knocked on it. The door opened a couple of minutes later, and Stacey smiled as Cassie greeted them at the door. She gave David a big hug, asking him how he was, and he replied. Cassie then looked at Stacey and Ebony, and commented on how they both looked. After Cassie said that it was good to see her again, Stacey smiled, and put an arm around Cassie, as she gave her a hug. Once they parted, Stacey smiled. "And you can call me Stacey. So much shorter."
Stacey headed inside first, after David stepped aside, and they were all soon inside the house. They started to go towards the lounge room, when David's twin sisters, Denise and Darla came running to him. All Stacey could do was smile on, watching how he was with them, and vise versa. After David spoke to them, he guided Stacey into the lounge room. Stacey found a chair to sit in, but then decided to ask Cassie. "Do you want to hold her?" She got up, and walked to where she was to hand Ebony over, who seemed quite content at that moment.

After David had unlocked the doors and turned the alarm off he had asked Stacey if she needed help getting Ebony into her baby seat and Stacey replied saying no but could he take her bag and put the bottles into the cooler bag it would be great. David smiled and nodded and replied saying, “Sure honey.” He then proceeded to take the bag from Stacey and one he found the cooler bag he placed the bottles into it and then placed the bag on the backseat. David then made his way into the driver’s side and switched the engine on but then put in Dominic’s cd and had then turned to Stacey saying that he loved the way that cd showed off Dominic’s vocal range. He smiled at Stacey as she replied saying definitely.
David had then remembered about the baby bangle and still didn’t make a move in the car as he fumbled in his pocket to give Stacey the box. He watched as she bit on her bottom lip slightly but then saw a smile spread over her face which made David smile back at her. Once Stacey opened it he heard her gasp a little and then she smiled some more at him, which just made him smile all the more back. Hearing Stacey say it was gorgeous and that she knew Ebony would love it made David’s eyes sparkle. “I’m glad you love it honey and I’m glad you think Ebony will too.” David then put his foot down on the accelerator and finally headed in the direction of his mom’s house which had only taken half the time he thought it would as the traffic had turned out to be fairly light.
Once they arrived and David got out of the car he picked up the bag with Ebony’s things in it and the bottles and then once Stacey was out and had got Ebony he pressed the button to flip on the alarm and lock the doors again. David then watched as Stacey put the bangle on Ebony’s right wrist, and he felt himself melt slightly. It looked so cute on her, “It looks really cute on her doesn’t it Stacey? I’m really glad you like it honey.” He then made his way toward his mom’s door. Soon enough his mom had opened the door and immediately enveloped David in a hug greeting him. She had then greeted Stacey as much as she could because she was holding Ebony in her arms. Stacey then said to Cassie that she could call her Stacey. Cassie replied with a smile, “Very well then Stacey, I can understand that as mine is Cassandra and I keep telling people to call me Cassie.”
David had then stepped aside to allow Stacey to enter the house first and once they were inside David’s twin sisters Denise and Darla had come running toward him like they always did whenever he visited. As he interacted with them he glanced at Stacey and saw that she was smiling at the scene, it was always the same with them, they adored David and vice versa. David had then guided Stacey into the living room and before Stacey sat down she asked his mom if she wanted to hold Ebony. David knew this would get his mom set off; she put her hand up to her chest and then replied saying, “Oh may I? That would be wonderful.” Cassie held her arms out and gently took Ebony from Stacey and began to rock with her slightly.
“Oh Stacey she’s such the cutest little girl, isn’t she?” Then Cassie saw the baby bangle and looked at it and clearly saw the inscription on it as the bangle was loose enough she then turned to David with a smile, “That is the sweetest thing you bought for her David. I can already see that she’s a part of this family.” Denise and Darla then went running up to Cassie and in perfect unison as always they said, “Can we look, can we look please?” They dragged the please out and this made David chuckle slightly. Cassie then bent down slightly to their height so they could look. They both began to giggle a little and then they both ran to Stacey and wrapped their arms around her hugging her, “She’s gorgeous Stacey.” Denise said and then Darla added, “We like being her aunties, that’s what we are right?” David couldn’t stop chuckling as he watched them both with Stacey, they were as mad over having a big sister now than they were over him.

After Stacey had put the bracelet onto Ebony, David saw it and commented on it. She smiled at him, "It does look cute on her." Stacey then lent in and kissed David softly, "And I love it. Might have to get one to match for myself, though in white gold." She giggled a little, then followed him towards the front door. Once his mum had hugged David, Cassie had come over to Stacey, giving her a hug as best she could, then Stacey had asked her to call her Stacey. Cassie replied, then acknowledged how she kept telling people to call her Cassie, shortening her own name down. Stacey nodded, "Okay, thanks."
Once David's twin sisters greeted him in their own way, they made their way into the lounge room, and she found a seat to sit on, but then thought of something. Stacey asked Cassie if she wanted to hold Ebony, heading in Cassie's direction. Hearing what Cassie asked, made Stacey smile all the more, nodding, "Sure." Stacey then placed Ebony is Cassie's arms, and then stepped back. It didn't matter who she was with, Ebony always looked adorable in anyone's arms. Cassie commented on Ebony being the cutest little girl, and Stacey continued to stand, "Thank you Cassie. I guess she gets the looks from me." She didn't want to elaborate over who the other half of Ebony was, as Stacey was more happy to leave him off.
Cassie then commented on the bracelet, as Stacey sat down in the chair. Stacey turned to David, as he spoke, and she nodded. "I couldn't have asked for anything more right now. But I guess the next step is getting married to this one." Stacey laughed then, then watched the girls go up to Cassie, asking if they could look, saying it together. She turned to David when he chuckled, and smiled a little. It did seem he knew how his sisters got around certain things. Once they had gotten a look at Ebony, they had made a dash to Stacey, and hugged her together.
Stacey got a bit of a surprise, then put her arms around them both. They each spoke to her individually, with Stacey looking at each of them as they spoke. When they finished, she turned to Denise, "Thank you sweetie," then turned to Darla, "And yes you are, and I am glad that you are both happy with being Aunties. I couldn't wish for anyone better than you two." Stacey gave them a hug, then sat back in the chair. She watched Ebony with Cassie, and sighed a little, thinking about having another child, this time with David. Just looking at this little family now, she knew it was still the right decision. Ebony was going to have a lot of love around her, and when it came time for another, Stacey knew that that love would just continue to grow.

When David had commented on the bangle looking cute on Ebony and that he was glad Stacey really liked it he had to smile as she agreed and then she kissed David softly which he had no objections to, kissing her back as softly and then Stacey spoke saying she loved it adding that she might have to get one for herself to match it only in white gold. He heard her giggle after saying it but he took it on board and made a mental note of it for later. He replied saying, “Well we will have to see what we can do about that then.” He then grinned at her before they both headed toward his mom’s house and they were soon inside.
David’s mom had soon told Stacey that she understood Stacey shortening her name down from Anastacia and went on to say that her name was Cassandra but kept getting people to call her Cassie. Stacey replied saying okay and thanked her. Cassie just shook her head, “That’s not a problem.” After David’s twin sisters had greeted him they all made their way into the lounge room and soon enough Stacey was asking Cassie if she wanted to hold Ebony. David could tell that this had just made his mom’s day as she asked if she could and then soon enough she was cradling baby Ebony in her arms after Stacey had said sure she could hold her. When Cassie had commented on Ebony being the cutest little girl Stacey replied thanking her adding that she guessed she got her looks from Stacey. Cassie looked up at Stacey and smiled, “Oh yes, I can see that as you are a very beautiful young woman.”
After Cassie had commented on the bangle at David she saw Stacey sit down on one of the chairs and she gave her a smile as Stacey replied saying she couldn’t have asked for anything more other than to get married to this one, referring to David. Stacey then laughed a little and Cassie looked right at her, “Well I know that I can’t wait to have a beautiful daughter-in-law. Have you any idea when you plan to get married?” Cassie asked as she looked from Stacey to David. David wasn’t sure what to say although he knew that he didn’t want to leave it too much longer either but was never one to rush anything. He turned to Stacey, “I’m not sure, I guess it just depends when Stacey has enough energy to start making plans.” He replied and then turned to face his mom again and gave her a warm smile. Cassie just smiled at David and nodded her head as she waited to see what Stacey would say to that.
The twins had then gone up to Cassie wanting to see Ebony and had spoken in unison like they did often which had led to David chuckling and he saw Stacey turn to him and smile a little. “They have a habit of talking together and dragging words out, I think they think it gets them somewhere easier or something. Either that or they finish each other’s sentences. Sometimes one of them will say something and the other will lead into the next thing knowing what the other was going to say, it can be very interesting to watch.” David told Stacey and chuckled again a little as they then both made a dash to hug Stacey.
David could only smile as he watched Stacey interact with his sisters and loved it when she put her arms around the both of them. Luckily for Stacey when they spoke to her they did it separately rather than in unison. David smiled as Stacey answered Denise first and then Darla. When Stacey said she was glad they were both happy to be Aunties and that she couldn’t wish for anyone better than the two of them they began to giggle a little. “Thank you Stacey.” They both said together in perfect harmony and then Stacey hugged them both. When Stacey leant back in the chair both the girls went running off to their room and seconds later they were back with a baby doll each and began to copy their mother’s actions with Ebony in her arms. They then looked at Stacey from where they were sitting with their baby dolls in their arms and said in unison, “See, we’re good at taking care of babies aren’t we?”
Cassie then went over to the sofa where Stacey was sitting and sat down slowly next to her and then looked at Stacey with a bright smile, “She really is gorgeous, I could hold her all day and night, but I have a dinner to finish off. Are you alright to take her back or do you want David to hold her for a while? David told me that your favourite roast is pork, so that’s what I’ve been cooking, I hope that is alright with you?” Cassie asked and once Stacey replied she stood up again and made her way into the kitchen to check on the dinner leaving David and Stacey alone with the twins.

Stacey felt a blush come over her, as Cassie complimented her on being a very beautiful woman. "Thanks Cassie." She hadn't been too bad with getting compliments, getting used to it with David. But the occassional one from others, well, it sometimes set off her blush somewhat. This time was no different. Stacey was no way up herself, knowing that she was okay looking.
After Stacey commented on how she couldn't ask for anything more other than to marry David, Cassie commented that she couldn't wait to have a beautiful daughter-in-law, adding if they had any idea when they were going to get married. Stacey pouted her bottom lip a little. They hadn't had much time to really sit down and talk about anything concrete yet. David soon spoke up, after she looked back at him. Stacey looked at Cassie then, who smiled at Daid, then saw her nod. "Well, I have to agree with that. We hadn't really had a lot of time to ourselves to sit down and talk arrangements. Though we had better I suppose." Stacey didn't want to go into detail that she was wanting to have another baby soon, but thinking like that, they might have to get married before she got pregnant again, or at the very least before she started showing.
When the twins went over to look at Ebony, they had spoken together, and Stacey had smiled a little at David. He soon told her about them, and how they were when talking. Stacey smiled more and nodded in acknowledgement. Then they had run over to Stacey hugging her. After she listened to what each of them had said, Stacey had replied to each of them, then to them together. They thanked her together, then Stacey hugged them both. Stacey then moved back into her chair, and watched them run off out of the room. She was going to say something, when the girls came back, with babies in their arms. Stacey sighed a little, putting her hand up to her cheek. When the girls asked if they were good at taking care of babies, all Stacey could do was nod, "Yes you are."
Cassie then got up, and sat down next to Stacey. She shifted a little to look at Cassie, who then spoke to her. Stacey smiled brightly at her, and then snickered a little, knowing what she was getting at. Cassie asked if she wanted Ebony back, or if she wanted David to take her, then told her what they were having for dinner. "Roast pork is fine. At least I can eat it again, couldn't when I was carrying Ebony. Couldn't stand the stuff." She then eyed off David. "You can take Ni Ni for a while hun, if you want."
Once Ebony was moved on from Cassie, she got up to head off to fix dinner. Stacey looked at Ebony, who was nodding off to sleep, then turned to look at the twins. "Hey girls. How is school going?" She thought she would start off small to see what they say, and extend on whatever they said.
{ooc - I just had a thought. If David's mum had twins, then it could be more than likely that maybe Stacey could have twins? lol Oh and I just came up with her nick name lol}

{ooc - the nickname made me giggle a bit, kinda cute actually and yeah there could be a high possibility that Stacey could have twins although I do think it would be more prominant if twins had been in Stacey's family as opposed to David's}
After Stacey had made the comment about marrying David his mom had asked if they had any idea when they were getting married. David had replied saying that he wasn’t sure and it just depended on when Stacey had enough energy to start making plans. Stacey then added to that saying that they hadn’t a lot of time to themselves to discuss it and then added that they had better she supposed. David nodded his head a little, “I guess we should, but you know that what’s more important to me is your health which was why I said when you had the energy.” Although with the fact they had both discussed about having another baby, maybe getting the wedding plans sorted wouldn’t be such a bad thing. “But I’m good for talking about it when you are.” He added with a warm smile, even if that turned out to be right now with his mom, then he would agree to discussing it.
After Stacey had interacted with the twins they had run out of the room and came back seconds later with baby dolls in their arms and began to copy Cassie’s actions which what she was doing with Ebony in her arms. David saw that move of Stacey’s as she sighed and put her hand up to her cheek and then they had said in a question that they were good at looking after babies. David saw Stacey nod her head and then she replied saying that yes they were. They both grinned at Stacey then and began to go back to their baby dolls as they began to feed them with those magic disappearing milk baby bottles.
Cassie had then approached where Stacey was and sat down next to her and said that Ebony was really gorgeous and could hold her all day and night but she had a dinner to finish off. She had then asked if Stacey was alright for holding her or did she want David to hold her for a while and then she had made the comment that she was making roast pork for dinner as David had said it was Stacey’s favourite. Stacey replied saying that roast pork was fine and adding she couldn’t stand it when she was pregnant with Ebony. Cassie nodded her head, “I know that well, the food fads during pregnancy are crazy, I would eat stuff I hated and like you stuff I adored I couldn’t face. But no two pregnancies are the same, I know, I was different carrying David as I was with the twins.” Stacey had then spoken some more saying that David could hold Ni Ni for a while if he wanted. David smiled, “Well you know I’m not going to say no to that.” He loved holding Ebony, she was just so gorgeous.
Cassie then got back up again and made her way over to David and held her out to David with a warm smile, “There you go little one, your daddy’s going to take you for a while.” David took Ebony from his mom and soon enough he had her cradled in his arms against his chest and he kept looking down at her and sighing contently and smiling at her. He couldn’t believe that even though he wasn’t her blood father, that he was blessed with such a beautiful daughter in his life. He kept thinking it every day and it would never get old, but he was truly thankful for having both Stacey and Ebony in his life.
Stacey then spoke to the twins asking them how school was going. They both looked up and smiled at her and for once spoke separately, “We like school, don’t we Darla, although we sometimes play tricks on our friends and teachers because...” Was all Denise got out when Darla finished the sentence, “...we like to cause confusion what with looking so much alike.” They then both went into a fit of giggles. Then Cassie came back into the room, “Well dinner isn’t taking as long as I thought, it might be an early meal hope that isn’t a problem?” She then turned to the twins with a big smile, “How would you like to go and set the table for me?” They quickly put their dolls down and went to their mom and gave her a hug and then said together, “Of course we can.” They then went running through to the dining room to do as they were asked.
Cassie then turned to Stacey, “They’re good girls to be honest, although when they were babies I couldn’t have handled it as well if it hadn’t been for David.” Now it would seem it was David’s turn to get embarrassed as he felt his cheeks flush slightly, which didn’t happen often, but when his mom always commented on how much he helped her when the twins were babies and toddlers it always got him blushing. “If you need help with wedding plans to help take the pressure off of you Stacey you only have to ask.” She gave her a bright smile then knowing how little time Stacey was likely to have to herself.

Stacey listened to what David said, in regards to the wedding plans, and when to discuss them. She nodded, then went to reply, when he added about him being good for talking about it when she was. "Well I guess soon then." Stacey was okay with talking about and planning the wedding, but time was always a factor.
When Stacey had spoken about the roast pork being okay, adding that she couldn't stand it when she was pregnant with Ebony, Cassie nodded. Hearing what she said about cravings and so forth, made Stacey fully understand, but took in what she said about no two pregnancies being the same. "Well we might have to chat about that then later. Would love to hear more about it all." Stacey had read things on the internet, but hearing it first hand was going to be even better. Soon enough Cassie got up, and handed Ebony over to David, and Stacey looked on with a warm smile on her face. Hearing what Cassie said as she handed Ebony over made her smile all the more. Stacey moved from where she was sitting, and moved over next to David's seat, sitting down, and peered over at Ebony.
Stacey then spoke to the twins, asking them about school. Denise spoke first, then Darla followed through finishing her sentence. She giggled a little, remembering what David had said about them, seeing it first hand. Stacey found herself giggling right along with the twins. Then Cassie came back, and commented about dinner. "That's fine Cassie. We have been finding ourselves having dinner at different hours, since having Ebony. So it's no worries." Stacey glanced over at Ebony with David, and then heard Cassie ask the twins if they wanted to set the table. She raised her eyebrows a little when they jumped at the chance, and watched them run off.
Cassie then spoke to Stacey, commenting on the girls, and adding that she wouldn't have been able to handle them when they were babies if it hadn't of been for David. Stacey knew how he was with just Ebony, so guessed he had been a big help like he was now. She turned and saw that David had blushed at that comment. Just to make the situation more embarrassing for him, Stacey slightly pinched his cheeks, "Aww, did we get a little embarrassed?" She snickered a little, then turned to Cassie. "Looks like someone gets a little like me then."
Cassie added then about the wedding plans, and if she needed help, she only had to ask. Stacey looked at David, then back at Cassie. "You know that won't be such a bad idea. If we have time now we could maybe look at what we want?" She knew that this would be the best time for it all, especially since Ebony seemed content right at this moment.
{ooc - I know what you are getting at since in our family either my sister or me could have twins. argh! lol But who is to say that she doesn't have them somewhere along the lines - like remember Amelia is her twin...}

{ooc - forgot about Mia lol and ooo Mel... I reckon you'd handle twins just fine lol}
When David said he would be good to talk about the wedding plans when Stacey was she replied saying soon then, but David knew that it wasn’t always that easy what with him working and Stacey needing to get all the rest she could when Ebony was asleep. He just nodded his head and gave her a smile, “I agree, maybe the first time Ebony is asleep and we’re both at home we could try and start making plans.” Knowing that he would love nothing better than to make Stacey his wife but also knowing that Stacey’s health and rest came first.
When Cassie had made the comment about no two pregnancies being the same Stacey said that they might have to chat about it later adding that she would love to hear more about it. Cassie gave Stacey a warm smile then, “I don’t have a problem with that at all sweetheart after dinner when you’re ready if you like.” Cassie replied before she handed Ebony over to David to hold so she could go and check on the dinner. Stacey had moved over closer to David as he was handed baby Ebony and he glanced at her and gave her a warm smile and then said, “I just love both my girls you know that?”
Stacey then spoke to the twins about school and David had to shake his head slightly and chuckle as they replied to her breaking what they were saying between the both of them. Then the twins began to giggle he heard Stacey join in and this made David chuckle all the more. He loved his sisters so much. His mom had then come back into the room commenting that dinner was going to be ready sooner than she thought. Thankfully Stacey replied saying that it wouldn’t be much of a problem because they had been eating at all different hours anyway. David acknowledged this by nodding his head, “That’s true and to be honest with you, the smell of it is making me hungry anyway even though I only had lunch about two hours ago.” Cassie had then asked the twins to go and set the table for her which they were only too pleased to do.
Cassie had then spoken to Stacey saying that they were good girls but if it hadn’t been for David helping her when they were babies and toddlers she didn’t think she would have been able to handle it as well. David had blushed hearing his mom say that, like he always did when she was complimenting him on how he was when they were younger. His mom was about the only person who could get David to blush. Then Stacey pinched his cheeks a little and made a comment about the fact he had blushed which made him chuckle and shake his head slightly.
“Mom is about the only one who can get me like this for some reason.” David replied and then Stacey had said to Cassie that it looked like David got a bit like she did. Cassie gave Stacey a warm smile, “Well what he says is true, I’ve never known anyone else to make him blush like that other than me, probably because I’m his mom.” She then went over and put her hand under his chin and waggled it from side to side, “You know your mom loves her little boy don’t you David?” She then laughed a little as she removed her hand while David’s face just about exploded into a red ball but he couldn’t help but chuckle some more at what his mom had done not commenting because he didn’t want to add fuel to the fire.
When Cassie had said if she needed help with the wedding plans that Stacey only had to ask, David saw Stacey look at him and he gave a nod of his head with a smile, as he didn’t have a problem with that at all. Stacey then turned to Cassie saying that it wouldn’t be such a bad idea and if they had time now they could have a look at what they would want. David nodded his head again, “Well I don’t think we’re in much of a rush to get home this evening are we? So I guess now is as good a time as any, it’s nice of you offer to help mom.” David said and gave her a warm smile and then Cassie smiled back.
“It’s no problem kids, but maybe after dinner?” Just as Cassie said that the twins ran back into the living room, “Table is set.” They said in perfect unison as they went back to their dolls and then Cassie turned to them. “Thanks girls, I’ll just go and see how dinner is doing again, I’m only waiting on the potatoes.” She then left them again as she went back into the kitchen.

{ooc - as long as they aren't identical, and one is a boy and one is a girl lol}
Stacey nodded, when David spoke of when Ebony is asleep, and they are both at home, they could try and start making wedding plans. "Sounds good. As long as it is sooner than later." She looked down at her engagement ring, thinking about having a wedding ring on that finger also.
After Stacey suggested that her and Cassie could have a talk later about everything to do with her pregnancies, and maybe her own. Cassie said that she didn't have a problem with that, suggesting that after dinner when Stacey was ready if she wanted. Stacey nodded, "That would be nice Cassie. Thanks." Cassie then had handed Ebony over to David, which had led to Stacey moving closer to David, peering at Ebony in his arms. David then sid that he loved both of his girls, looking at Stacey, saying did she know that. Stacey sighed, closing her eyes a little, then looked at him, nodding slowly. "Yes, I do. And we love you too."
When Cassie had told Stacey that the twins were good girls, but she didn't think she would have been able to handle it if it weren't for David, Stacey had seen David blush. She had kind of teased him about it, which had made David chuckle and shake his head. David then said that his mum was about the only one who could get him like that. Stacey looked at Cassie. "Maybe it is a mom thing?" She giggled a little, then Cassie spoke to Stacey, saying that what David said was true. After her comments, Cassie got up, put her hand under his chin, moving it from side to side, talking to him, asking him if he knew his mum loves her little boy. Stacey's smile kept growing, then burst out laughing at what his mum had done, then seeing his very red face made it all the more funny. She then lent into his ear. "You know you look like a tomato. But a very cute tomato." Stacey kissed him quickly on his very red cheek, then sat back in the lounge.
When Cassie had suggested about helping them with the wedding plans, Stacey looked at David, who gave her a nod of his head, and Stacey then said that it wouldn't be such a bad idea, maybe doing it now if they had time. David then spoke, saying that he didn't think they were in much of a rush to get home that evening. Stacey shook her head a little. "Not really, no. But don't want this one in the cool weather late at night." Stacey nodded towards Ebony as she said that. She then turned to Cassie, after David said that it was nice of his mum to offer, "Yes, thanks Cassie. It will definately be a big help."
Cassie said it was no problem, but suggesting to do the talking after dinner. Stacey nodded, and then watched the twins come in, stating that the table was set. She smiled at them both, as Cassie acknowledged them, saying that she would go and check on dinner as she was only waiting on the potatoes. Stacey nodded towards her, then lent into David, seeing how Ebony was doing, but she seemed quite content in his arms. "If dinner is ready in a few, then I might have to feed her first. Might as well do it now." Stacey then eyed off the twins. "Do you think it will be best for me to feed her in another room?" She wasn't sure how her breast feeding Ebony might be like in front of the girls.

{ooc - at first I thought you were referring to Stacey with non identical twins and one being a boy and one a girl, but you mean yourself? lol}
When David had said that once they were back at home and Ebony was asleep they could start talking about wedding plans Stacey had replied saying it sounded good as long as it was sooner than later. Well David had no objections to that and he nodded his head because he knew that he couldn’t wait to refer to Stacey as his wife. He loved her so much that he wanted everyone to know about it. He saw Stacey look down at the engagement ring on her finger and he couldn’t help but smile knowing that hopefully soon there would be a wedding ring on there too.
Cassie had then suggested that they could have the talk about pregnancies after dinner and she smiled as Stacey replied saying that would be nice and thanking her. Cassie shook her head giving Stacey a warm smile, “Not a problem love.” Cassie had then gone into the kitchen to check on dinner after handing Ebony over to David to hold. David had watched Stacey come closer to him and he had then said that he loved both his girls and did she know that and he sighed gently when Stacey replied saying that she did and that they both loved him too. David gently nudged into her then when she had said that and then reached across to kiss her softly on the cheek.
After Cassie had made David blush with saying how good he had been with the twins when they were younger and David had said that his mom was about the only person who could make him blush like that Stacey had said maybe it was a mom thing. David chuckled a little, “I guess it must be, I reckon all moms are put on this earth to embarrass their kids regardless of age.” He chuckled again and shook his head slightly. Cassie had then chosen that moment to embarrass David some more by putting her hand under his chin and wagging it from side to side as she spoke saying he knew his mom loved her little boy.
David hadn’t said anything because he didn’t want to add fuel to the fire but his face was saying plenty as it had exploded into a colour of red. He glanced and watched as the smile on Stacey’s face grew bigger and eventually began to laugh. David just chuckled some more and Stacey then leant into his ear and asked if he knew he looked like a tomato but a very cute tomato. “As I said, mom is about the only one who can do that to me, but I’m glad you think I’m a cute tomato.” He chuckled some more and then felt Stacey kiss him on his cheek before leaning back onto the lounge.
After Cassie had said she could help with the wedding plans and David had said he didn’t think they were in much of a rush to get home that evening. Stacey had replied saying no but that she didn’t want to have Ebony in the cool weather late at night. David could understand that and he smiled nodding his head, “Well it looks as if we’re having dinner for three instead of four, so we’ll probably be finished by four, that will give us a good four hours if we leave at say eight, that won’t be too late and really she’ll be going from the house to the car and from the car to the house, although if you get tired and want to leave sooner you just have to say alright honey?” David said to Stacey giving her a bright smile. David had then spoken to his mom saying it was nice of her to offer and Stacey had then thanked her too. “It’s no problem love really; I can’t wait to officially refer to you as my daughter.” Cassie said and gave Stacey a bright smile. Alright so maybe she was her daughter-in-law but Cassie wasn’t about to go into the whole in-law thing, she always felt as if you never truly belonged in your husband or wife’s family when you were constantly referred to as the ‘in-law’.
Cassie had suggested talking after dinner which Stacey nodded to and then the twins had come back in to say the table was set now. Cassie had then said that she was going to check on dinner again as she was only waiting on the potatoes. Stacey had then leant into David and said if dinner was going to be ready in a few that maybe she should feed Ebony first and then asked if she should go into another room as she glanced at the twins. David didn’t think the girls would have a problem with it, but it was basically up to Stacey he figured. “Whatever makes you more comfortable honey, I can’t see mom or the girls having a problem with it, breastfeeding is a natural thing to do and it’s not like you’re constantly on show, the baby’s mouth covers it really. I can show you into my old bedroom if you would prefer?” David waited for Stacey to reply to see what she wanted to do and then gently handed Ebony over to her.
{ooc - by the way - figured David's next post could possibly have the skipping after dinner bit if you want - so we can carry on with wedding discussions as I know that rping out eating food all the time can get a bit boring}

{ooc - lol - yes I meant me! But if she did have them, I think I would prefer one of each...}
Stacey kind of loved the fact that David's mum was the one who could always make him blush. She then made a comment about maybe it was a mum thing, which she saw had made David chuckle at. Stacey bit on her bottom lip a little, as he spoke about mums being put on the earth to embarrass their kids regardless of age. Stacey glanced at Ebony, hoping she wouldn't be one to embarrass her too much, if she could help it. She didn't want to end up like her own mother.
Cassie had then embarrased David more, with her moment of her hand under his chin. Stacey couldn't contain herself, and burst out laughing at what his mum was doing, then saw David go rather red in the face. David chuckled at what she was doing, then Stacey lent in, and spoke to him, saying that he looked like a tomato, but a very cute tomato. He then just rehashed over what he had said about his mum being the only one who could do that to him. When he said that he was glad that Stacey thought he was a cute tomato, she scrunched her nose up a little, then smiled. "I wouldn't want it any other way." Stacey had then kissed him on the cheek, then leaned back onto the lounge.
When they talked about talking about the wedding plans later, Stacey said she was fine with staying back, agreeing that there wasn't much a rush to get home. But she had made a point of not wanting Ebony out in the cool weather late at night. David nodded, which made Stacey smile, then listened to what he said. Three was seeming a little early for dinner, but it worked out for the best, then wasn't going to object. "Okay. That should hopefully give us some time to figure out the details." Stacey knew that Ebony would sleep probably on and off during their time here, so it wouldn't hopefully put her off sleeping.
David then said it was nice of his mum to offer to help, and Stacey had thanked her. Cassie soon replied, and when she said that she couldn't wait to officially refer to Stacey as her daughter, Stacey smiled back at her. "Thanks Cassie. Well, it will be nice to officially call you mom, though used to calling you by your first name now." She knew deep down that she should try and contact her own parents, but she still hadn't gotten the time or nerve to ring them at all. She knew that Dom said that he would come with her, if and when she did want to meet up with them, and that would always be in the back of her mind.
After Cassie went back to check on dinner, Stacey said to David that she should think about feeding Ebony before dinner. But then she wondered if she should go to another room, glancing at the twins. David soon replied, and Stacey glanced back at the twins. "I don't want to freak them out or anything, so maybe I might go into your room, if that is okay." Stacey watched as David placed Ebony back in her arms, and slowly got up from the lounge, and then picked up the bag of Ebony's things. She then waited for David to show her where she could go.
{ooc - And that is fine Mands to get David to get them passed dinner.}

{ooc - one of each if Stacey had twins is fine with me - and okay I'll have David skip by dinner in this post} When David made the comment about mom’s being put on earth to embarrass their kids he saw Stacey glance at Ebony and he felt kind of bad for saying what he had. He shook his head slightly and gave Stacey a warm smile, “What I meant to say is that mom’s are put on this earth to embarrass their sons. She never seems to embarrass the twins.” David chuckled again, he loved his mom dearly despite the fact she could embarrass him at every turn without even trying. Naturally Cassie had taken the opportunity to embarrass David more which had caused his face to burst into an explosion of red. This in turn had got Stacey saying that he was like a tomato but a cute tomato and David had replied saying he was glad that she thought he was a cute tomato. Stacey replied saying she wouldn’t want it any other way. David smiled at her and shook his head slightly, “Thanks.” Then she had kissed him on the cheek. When David had spoken about being finished dinner by four and leaving around eight, giving them a good four hours for discussions Stacey replied saying okay and that it should hopefully give them some time to figure out the details. David nodded his head, “That’s what I was thinking, just hadn’t expected dinner to be so soon, unless mom wants to keep it in the oven for an hour to keep warm.” David knew that the dinner being ready so soon had even taken his mom by surprise, so whatever Stacey said to his suggestion he would maybe ask his mom about holding dinner off for an hour in the oven, although that usually made the meal dry. When Cassie had said it would be nice to officially refer to Stacey as her daughter, she had replied saying it would be nice to officially call her mom although she was used to calling her Cassie now. “Well you just call me whatever you feel comfortable with Stacey.” Cassie gave her a warm smile then, she wasn’t about to demand that Stacey call her mom when she and David were married. It was up to the individual; if Stacey felt more comfortable calling her Cassie then she wouldn’t have a problem with that at all. When Stacey had then spoken about having to feed Ebony and going into another room David had said that he didn’t think his mom and sisters would mind so much and that it was up to her, but he could take her to his old bedroom if she wanted. Stacey replied saying she didn’t want to freak them out and would go into his room if that was okay. David nodded his head and said, “Yeah, sure it is.” He then stood up after placing Ebony into Stacey’s arms and made his way toward the room that used to be his, knowing full well that his mom had kept it as it was. He opened the door and ushered Stacey in. “Just as I left it, only I expect she puts clean bedclothes on all the time despite me not living here anymore. I’ll just go back into the lounge and wait for you, okay honey?” He said and gave her a smile and a kiss on the cheek and made his way back out into the lounge where the twins ran up on top of him since he was now the only one on the sofa. “Stacey’s really nice, and we love Ebony.” They both said together and David grinned at them, “Well I’m glad you think so, because so do I.” With that he then put an arm around each of his sister’s and hugged them to him waiting for Stacey to finish feeding Ebony. **** 1 hour later **** Dinner was over with and David had helped his mom load the dishwasher with the dirty dishes and the twins had made their way to their bedroom as a couple of their friends had arrived, so it left Stacey and him alone with his mom and Ebony naturally, so hopefully they would get some good discussions in about the wedding. Cassie brought over a notepad and pen and sat down on the armchair and looked over at both of Stacey and David. “So, have you made any sort of plans at all yet, or are we going to be doing this from scratch? It will just be good to know where to start, and Stacey is there anything in particular you think you might need help with more?” Cassie said not knowing where exactly to start. David gave his mom a weak smile, “Well we haven’t made any plans at all, we just haven’t had a moment since Ebony’s been born.” Cassie nodded her head and smiled at them both, “Well I can appreciate that, so where do you want to start?” {ooc - I thought when it came to the discussions, it might be best for Stacey to suggest most things, as I'm not sure what you will want her to want and like etc., hope you don't mind?}
