You say it's your birthday, June 2045

Round 37: June 2045 (Winter)

Since the birth of their twins, Byron and Noel, Rebecca and Nathan have had her parents, Trent and Megan, dropping in a lot.

Megan is full of advice on raising twins. She raised her own twins, Rebecca’s older sisters Claudia and Victoria, so naturally, Megan is the expert on the matter.

Rebecca feels like she’s doing just fine with the boys and just smiles through her mother’s advice, making a mental note to ignore it and do things her own way.

Trent and Megan are fantastic grandparents, who are always willing to pitch in when necessary, so Rebecca is okay with just humouring them sometimes.

She can’t believe her parents have already asked about when Rebecca and Nathan will be having a third child though.

Byron and Noel are still only 17 months and they haven’t even thought about whether they want another, let alone when they’ll start trying. 

If they’d had a singleton, they’d probably be discussing their next kid by now.

Adding a baby into the mix with two toddlers though? That sounds like way too much.

Maybe when the boys are a bit older - and a little less interested in what’s up their nose - another baby might be a possibility.

For now though, Baby #3 is not even a twinkle in Nathan or Rebecca’s eyes!

At 12 weeks now and showing, Audrey Benton has stopped performing and she’s already missing it, even though she’s still able to keep up with her training.

Training just isn’t the same as performing but she’s focusing on the positives, like having more time to spend with daughter Zoe before the baby comes.

Audrey and Jack can’t wait to meet their new baby, due in January.

Susannah’s son Zac has been wondering about that baby sibling he’s been wanting.

Ever since Susannah and Daniel’s wedding, Zac has barely let up about the subject!

The fact that this new sibling has yet to appear has not been for a lack of trying on Daniel and Susannah’s part. 

Susannah especially has been getting a little worried about how things have (or haven’t) been progressing. Maybe they should look at medical intervention?

Daniel agrees, so Susannah makes an appointment to talk things over with Dr. Moretti.

Just a couple of days later, Susannah realises she might have been worrying for nothing.

After confirming with a home pregnancy test, she shares the news with Daniel, who is just as surprised and excited as she is. 

It happens to be Daniel’s 38th birthday and it’s just about the best gift he can imagine!

They already know how thrilled Zac will be but they’re going to wait another few weeks before telling him.

Susannah is not not very far along yet and she’s feeling pretty rotten most of the time. 

Hopefully, things will settle down soon and they can tell Zac about the new baby with confidence. Baby Halmi will arrive in March.

Notes:

• I was going to visit one more family but time caught up with me and I just wanted to get this out!
• Excuse all the blank frames in Susannah and Daniel's place - I haven't done their wedding pics yet but eventually, that's what will go there!
• Seeing it was Daniel's birthday, I decided I'd let he and Susannah try now. Seeing she's 35 already, it took them several tries. Fertility treatment costs in my hood and Daniel and Susannah don't have a lot to spare, so it was a good thing they managed the natural way in the end.
