Angel sat in the bathroom with the four pregnancy tests lined up on the counter. In a few minutes, she'd find out whether or not she was having another baby, Laurent's baby. Another little Bourgeois. The thought made her smile as she sat waiting on the tests. She would be so happy if she was indeed having another baby. Then she thought about telling Laurent the news. He would be ecstatic to find out they were having another baby. She could just see his face now. The thought made her smile even harder. She was so deep in her thoughts that she jumped when the timer went off. She stood and walked over to the sink and looked down. As she glanced over all four tests, they all had the same result. Pregnant. Tears rolled down Angel's cheeks as she picked up the four tests and placed them in a box she had sitting on the counter. She wrapped two silk ribbons, a blue one and a pink one, around the box and tied them in a bow. She placed the box in her dresser and walked out of her bedroom to head downstairs. When she walked into the living room Paulina and the triplets were on the couch watching cartoons. When Paulina noticed her, she stood and walked over to her.
Paulina: Well, what did the tests say? Angel looked up into her sister's eyes and smiled as tears fell. She nodded before resting her head on her sister's shoulder. Paulina wrapped her in a hug and kissed her head. 
Paulina: Oh honey, I'm so happy for you. Have you called Laurent yet to tell him? Angel pulled back to look in her twins' eyes. 
Angel: No and I'm not going to call him. I'm going to surprise him at the birthday party. It is actually for the triplets and the twins so I figured that could be one of his gifts. What do you think? Paulina smiled and nodded.

Paulina: That's a great idea, but what else are you giving him? Angel looked into Paulina's eyes and smiled. Paulina shook her head and smiled.
Paulina: That's why your ass is pregnant now. You can't keep your hands off that man, can you? Angel shook her head and laughed. 
Angel: There's so much fun to be had when I have my hands on him. Seriously though, I'm giving him something that he's always wanted. I'm having a Lamborghini delivered here for him the day of the party. Larry's getting one too. Paulina's mouth dropped open. 
Paulina: Are you serious? You actually got him a car? What am I supposed to do with the gift I got him? How am I supposed to top that? Angel looks at her and walks over to her.

Angel: I'm sorry twin, I didn't think about it. But it's not about who got him the better gift. Whatever you got him he'll appreciate it because it came from you. Anyway, back to me. I think I'll pull him aside and tell him before opening the triplets' gifts. What do you think? 
Larry: What does she think about what? Paulina and Angel both turn to see Larry walk through the door. Paulina's eyes widen as she looks at Angel whose eyes also widen. Paulina turns to Larry and gets up to give him a kiss.
Paulina: Hi my love, what are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to meet me here later? Larry eyes her suspiciously before wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her to him. He leans over to her ear and whispers to her.
Larry: What are the two of you up to and what were you talking about when I walked in here? Paulina kissed his neck and smiled before stepping back to gaze into his eyes
Paulina: Nothing love, just girl talk. So, how were the babies last night? Is everything okay? Why are you here? Larry laughed and walked over to the fridge for a bottle of water. 
Larry: Slow down bebe. Last night was fine and all is well. I just came over to see the two of you and deliver a message to Angel. Angel looked up at Larry and rose from her seat. 
Angel: What are you talking about brother? What message? What did he say? Larry could see the look on her face and hear the anxiousness in her voice. She missed his brother as much as he missed her. He smiled before turning to her.
Larry: He just wanted me to tell you that he loves and misses you and the babies very much. He also told me to tell you that he misses holding you at night and having you fall asleep in his arms. Angel dropped her head as the tears began to roll down her cheeks. Paulina and Larry both watched her as she stood silently crying. When she raised her head she looked directly into Larry's eyes. 
Angel: I miss and love him too, so much. Would you excuse me, I'll be right back. Angel ran to the bedroom and grabbed her phone. She hit the button labeled Mon monde and waited for it to ring. He picked up on the second ring.
Laurent: Mon bebe, what is it? Are you okay, the babies? Angel sighed and closed her eyes. It had only been one night apart, but the sound of his voice was the most beautiful sound she'd ever heard. She missed him like crazy and she wanted him home.
Angel: Oui mon amour, it's me. I called because I wanted to talk to you. Can you come by the house in an hour please? Laurent let out the breath he wasn't aware he was holding and nodded.
Laurent: Yes Belle, I'll be there. 
Angel: Okay, I'll see you then. Bye. 
Laurent: Bye bebe. They disconnected the call and both went to get ready. 

          



Angel was in her bedroom putting the finishing touches on her outfit when Paulina walked in. She looked at Angel and smiled.
Paulina: Wow twin, you look great. Angel wore a red off the shoulder ruffled top with a pair of red form-fitting leggings and on her feet, she had a pair of red satin ballet slippers. She piled her hair on top of her head with a pair of Chinese hair sticks. Paulina helped her get the babies ready so she could take them to her and Larry's house. Angel and Paulina loaded the triplets into the car and Paulina left to go home just as Laurent was coming up the driveway. Angel stood in the doorway waiting for him. Laurent parked the car and stepped out and walked up to the front door. He embraced Angel placing a kiss on her cheek. She hugged him back, closing her eyes and taking in his scent. Angel stepped back and turned to walk away as Laurent followed close behind. She walked into the kitchen and went to the refrigerator.

Angel: Would you like something to drink or eat? Laurent shook his head and sat down at the table. Angel grabbed a bottle of water and sat across from him. She sighed and took a deep breath before speaking.
Angel: The reason I asked you to come over is that I wanted to talk to you about yesterday. I realize that I heard you out, but I really didn't hear you. I let you say what happened, but I didn't take the time to really process it and I'm sorry. I was so hurt by what I saw that I really didn't take the time to hear what you had to say and again, I'm sorry. So can we please just talk about it so we can move past it because I don't want this to come between us. Laurent sat listening to his love and the more she spoke, the more he could feel his own heart swelling with love for her. When she finished speaking, he sat staring at her with so much love in his eyes.
Laurent: Baby, I wish I could go back and change what happened yesterday, but I can't. All I can say is that I didn't know she was going to kiss me. If I would've known she was going to do that, I would've made sure she didn't have the chance to. I love you and no one is going to change that. I realize now that she only came here to start trouble and that's exactly what she did. She caused me to have to spend time away from my family and I didn't like that. Baby, what was between Riane and me was over a long time ago. She was just like Jasmine. She's someone that I went to because I couldn't be with the one that I really wanted. Besides my mami, there's been no other woman that has had all of me completely except you. And there will never be anyone that will have me that way but you. Baby, I can't even put into words how much I love you and I always will. I want us to move past this and be together again. Angel sat with tears rolling down her cheeks. Laurent saw them and reached across the table to wipe her eyes. 
Laurent: Don't cry, my love. I hate to see you cry. Angel sniffed and giggled.
Angel: I'm so sorry baby, it's just hearing you say those words make me feel so happy. I'm sorry too for not giving you the chance to explain last night. We could've been together and made love all night and all morning. I could've woke up in your arms this morning. Please forgive me, baby. Laurent smiled and pulled her from her chair to have her sit in his lap. 
Laurent: Only if you forgive me too. Angel leaned her forehead on Laurent's and gently kissed his lips before wrapping her arms around his neck. They sat that way for a few minutes before Angel stood from his lap and grabbed his hand leading him upstairs to the bedroom. They'd made it to the first landing when Laurent stopped her.
Laurent: Mon Amour, where are the babies? How can we make love all night and morning with us babies here? Angel laughed and once again started up the stairs.
Angel: They're not here baby. They left with their aunt to spend the night. We have the rest of the night to make up for the lost time. They made their way up to the bedroom and Laurent made good on the statement Angel made. They made love well into the morning before falling into an exhausted but well-satisfied slumber.




Angel awoke to the sound of the shower. She sat up to realize that once again, she was sore all over. She smiled to herself when she remembered the night before. She slowly rose from the bed and slipped on Laurent's t-shirt. She went into the bathroom in the hall and freshened up before heading downstairs to start breakfast. She was at the stove with bacon, sausage, eggs with cheese and cheese grits cooking when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist. She smiled and leaned her head to the side when he began kissing up her neck. Hearing his voice in her ear sent shivers down her spine.
Laurent: Bonjour mon coeur, avez-vous bien dormi? Angel smiles harder before answering.
Angel: J'ai bien dormi. Mon corps est magnifique. Je te dois tout. Merci grand papa. Laurent smirks and leans back to gaze into her eyes.
Laurent: You keep talking like that and you're going to make me tear it up right here on this table. Angel laughs before grabbing plates and plating the food. She sets it on the table and goes for the orange juice. She pours two glasses and brings them to the table. They both sit and pray before they start eating. Laurent seems to inhale his food, but Angel is going at a much slower pace. She was halfway through when the baby decided it didn't like breakfast. Angel stood from the table and quickly walked back upstairs. She just made it to the bathroom before emptying the entire contents of her stomach. She quickly brushed her teeth. Once she rinsed her mouth she stood looking at herself in the mirror wondering how she was going to keep her little secret until the party? She made it back downstairs to see Laurent stretched out on the couch. She walked over to him and lay on top of him. As they were watching tv, Angel felt Laurent's hands slipping under the shirt. He gasped when his hands met bare skin. He looked down at her smiling devilishly.
Laurent: Amour, you're not wearing panties! You're a very naughty girl belle. As he's saying that he's caressing her bare ass. Angel moans pushing her ass into his hands. Laurent grips her ass pushing her down letting her feel his arousal. Angel moans again then slide down his body until she's settled between his legs. She smirks up at him then pulls his boxers down. Angel licks the tip of his dick then takes him into her mouth. Laurent moans and bucks his hips up thrusting into her mouth hitting the back of her throat. Angel hums and the vibration zings up his spine. Laurent moans her name as he grips her hair moving her head up and down on him. Angel swallows around him while swirling her tongue around his tip. Angel and Laurent were so into their makeout session that neither of them heard the door open and close. They were both startled when Larry walks into the room, interrupting them.
Larry: Good morning people, what's up? Oh my God! I'm so sorry, I'll just, never mind. Larry quickly walked out of the room. Angel gasped and hid her face in Laurent's chest. Laurent sighed and wrapped Angel in his arms. He stood and pulled her with him. They both walked into the kitchen to see Larry at the stove fixing a plate of eggs and bacon. He moved to the table and glanced up at them. Angel blushed and hid her face in Laurent's stomach while Laurent stood glaring at him.
Larry: Sorry about that guys. I just came over to see if everything is back to normal with you two. So, I'm guessing the two of you are good? He asked the question looking up at Laurent who continued to glare at him.
Laurent: We're fine Larry. We would've been even better if you hadn't shown up when you did. If you came to check on us, you can see that we're fine so now you can leave so I can get back to my wife. Larry looked between them and smirked. He finished his food and rose from his seat heading to the sink.
Larry: Sure, I can take a hint. I'll see you two later when you come over for dinner. He started to laugh as he walked out the door.
Larry: Hey frere, make sure she can walk when you come over or Pauli will be pissed. He laughed heading out the door. Laurent sighed before turning back to Angel. 
Laurent: So bebe, where were we? Angel smiled and shook her head.
Angel: We were in the middle of something good, but I'm not feeling it now. Laurent stood gaping at her before noticing the look on her face. Angel smiled coyly before winking and racing up the stairs with Laurent hot on her heels.
