Soon enough the holiday season rolled around the corner, and the Ro'Meaves gathered at their parent's home, including Becca's family and the boys' partners.

When Garroth and Kim entered the house, Zianna literally screamed when she found out they were engaged. Once they'd all arrived they were speaking in the sitting room with Xander sleeping in the Mamaroo bouncer Becca and Zenix had brought with them.

"How long ago did you propose to her, GarGar?" Zianna asked, taking a sip of her apple cider.

Garroth shrugged, "A week ago, Laurance and I did it together."

"You're kidding," Becca said looking up from folding a blanket.

"Nope, they're engaged now too," Kim replied, holding her martini.

"I can't believe you didn't invite us there so we could watch," Nana said with a pout.

Garroth scrunched up his nose, luckily, or unluckily depending on how you put it, Garte interrupted. "Nana, Zane, what would you two like," he asked as he was in charge of managing the alcohol in his homemade bar.

"Lemon-lime bitter, thank you," Nana answered, looking at Zane who requested the same thing.

"No alcohol?" Vylad questioned, almost suspiciously.

Zane shrugged. Nana checked a notification on her phone, then shrugged to Vylad.

"Are you pregnant again, Nana?" Zianna queried as Garte passed them the drinks.

Nana looked between Zane and then to Becca, Garroth and Zianna. She bit her lip and let out an uncomfortable breath.

"Should we tell them?" Nana whispered to Zane covering her hand over her mouth so they couldn't figure out what she was saying.

"Maybe, I don't know, you're almost three months through, it seems like a good idea," he replied doing the same as Nana had with his delivery. The rest of them were sitting there waiting for an answer. The tension made Zane feel uncomfortable, to say the least.

"Yeah, we're expecting again," Zane confirmed and Zianna almost had a heart attack. "Anyway, Becca, Zenix, how many more would you want?" He questioned with a smirk, changing the subject immediately.

"One's enough for now," Becca answered as Zenix said, "One or two more."

Zenix sent his fiancée a lot as Becca returned the favour, handing him their baby. "Your turn," she said, before sitting back in her seat with a smug smile. Zenix gave a light groan but turned to his baby and his entire face lit up. 

Nana rested her head on Zane's shoulder and held onto his free hand. "I want that to be us," Nana whispered. 

"Yeah, me too," Zane replied kissing his fiancé's cheek and squeezing her hand. 

"Hey everyone, the turkey's ready," Zianna called out from the kitchen. 

"Food!" Garroth yelled running towards the dining room with Kim in tow. 

Nana stood up with Zane and linked their arms, "You know in the grand scheme of things, some things will never change." 

"How so?" Zane questioned. 

"You'll see, I know you will." 

"Well, I hope you know I'm never going to stop loving you." 

Nana chuckled, "I sure hope so, or I'm going to be left with your kids."
