The next morning,

Once Tracee, Gail and Romeo left for work Michael went to the storage room that's going to be the baby room to get everything out of there and put the baby furniture on the other side of the room since that needs to stay in the room

While he was busy carrying the storage boxes up to his studio Mr and Mrs Anderson had arrived and let themselves in with their own key

"Sweetie you're sweating, take a break" Mrs Anderson told Michael who was about to pick up the next heavy box filled with sketching books and demos

"It's the last box" Michael breathed

"Elijah can carry it for you" kaylee mentioned handing the box to her husband who raised his brow at her "Can't you see my baby in law needs a break" she told him and took Michael to the living room with her while her husband shook his head at her and carried the box up to the studio to put it with the others

"Got more boxes?" Elijah asked raising his brow at Michael

"No, the others are the babyroom furniture, I only I've to temporary put them in our room so we can paint the babyroom also with help from a painter I'm calling today" Michael explained

"Where's Tracee by the way?" Elijah asked

"Some meeting at the office that was according to Tracee too important to miss" Michael sighed

"She's pregnant, that girl don't know how to take a break" Kaylee sighed

"Pregnancy isn't a disability" Elijah reminded his wife

"It wasn't a easy road for Tracee to get there either" kaylee reminded her husband

"Make yourselves at home I have a few things to finish" Michael mentioned and went back to his previous task of cleaning out the soon to be babyroom while Mr and Mrs Anderson put their suitcases in the room 'downstairs' at Gail's part of the penthouse since guestrooms are the two extra rooms at the 'downstairs' area

Once Michael was finished putting the babyroom furniture in his and Tracee's room he took the adds from the papers Romeo had picked up the day before to his office (The last guestroom at the penthouse that's rebuild to an at home office for both Michael and Tracee) to find a painter for the babyroom

While Michael was in the at home office Mrs Anderson took ingredients from both kitchens/ refrigerators to make dinner while Mr Anderson found all the left over papers he red to kill some time, skipping the articles about his daughter and son in law

---- meanwhile,

Tracee finished the meeting but instead of heading home she went to her office and sat down behind her desk

"What do you think you're doing?" Will asked her

"It's still early and I'd like to write down some ideas for the teen mom collection and the matching baby line, being a pregnant woman myself I have first hand experience and I feel inspired too" Tracee mentioned and began sketching

"You promised your husband you'd go home the second the meeting was finished" Will reminded her

"My husband promised the same thing a million times too but when he's recording his new albums or preparing the next tour that promise means nothing either" Tracee mentioned while she kept drawing

"But you are pregnant right now" Will reminded her

"I also havent done anything the last few months" Tracee replied

"You can draw at home too where you can take as much needed rest as possible" Will mentioned

"Nope, my parents are coming over today and knowing them they won't leave till the baby is born so I'll stay at the office today and make a head start on the teen mom and baby collection I'll start with after I have my own baby" Tracee answered and wrote down some things next to the sketch about the possible fabric and the colors, patterns and if it would be for boys, girls or both

Will sighed knowing he couldn't change her mind no matter how hard he tried, nobody could change her mind when she really wants something

--- later that day,

Once Gail came home she spend time with her parents, catching up till Romeo joined them and also catched up with them while Michael was busy with taking care of everything regarding the babyroom and later with catching up with his charity project to see how far they are and when they could possibly open their doors

He was that busy he didn't realize it was dinner time till Mrs Anderson knocked on the door to let him know it's dinner time

"Is Trace back yet?" Michael asked

"I called her she's downstairs parking the car right now" kaylee answered going back to the kitchen to get her homemade Quice out of the oven

"Just a meeting yeah right" Michael shook his head and closed the at home office door to go to the others when Tracee made her way inside the penthouse and locked the door again

"I know I promised I'd come home right away but I had some stuff to do" Tracee mentioned seeing her husband

"I hope you took a break every now and then" Michael answered wrapping his arms around her to hold her baby bump "how was our little one doing today?" He asked feeling the baby kick as if in greeting his or her daddy

"We both missed you" Tracee answered wrapping her arms around him "Let's make up for lost time tonight" she smiled before kissing him

"You and your horny self" Michael smiled at her

"You know it's because of you I'm this horny and pregnant" Tracee smiled

"And I'm truly happy you are" Michael smiled before kissing her once more and led her to the kitchen to join the others for dinner

---

After dinner and catching up Tracee said she was tired and went to bed, Michael joined her after saying goodnight to the others

Gail and Romeo decided to watch a movie in their room while Mr and Mrs Anderson enjoyed a glass of wine on the couch in the living room before they went to their room

"Elijah?" Kaylee asked joining her husband in their bed in the guestroom

"Yes?" He answered

"I think we should tell the girls, specially now Tracee is pregnant herself" kaylee mentioned

"I don't think it's a good idea to tell them, they can't change the situation anyway" Elijah told her

"I know but they deserve to know it" kaylee mentioned
