“Damn, you’re a hard ass. So what else do we have to film?” Dean asked.
“I’ve got to serve the mince pies, and then I’ve got a handful of ideas for gifts. Christmas day, I’m going to be filming doing the main dinner.”
“I can’t wait. We’re staying right?” Dean asked.
“We’re staying here,” Darla said. “I’m the one who keeps the cameramen in line.”
Addison handed Chloe over to Dean so that she could finish gathering up some ingredients, and weighing most of them out before filming would continue. Her life was perfect, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Shaun moved by her side, and started to help her, and she smiled up at him.
“What’s going on in that head of yours?” he asked.
“I was just thinking about what happens later tonight.”
“Is my woman getting horny?” He whispered the words against her ear so only she heard.
“Yes, and I need you. I will always need you.”

Three months later
Shaun paced outside of the hospital at the same time as Dean did. They were pacing opposite each other, and every now and then they stared at each other. He should be in the room with his woman, but Addie had told him to wait with his girls. Glancing over at his daughters, he saw they were still asleep on the chairs where he’d placed them twenty minutes ago.
He should have hired a nanny or something so he could have been with his woman.
“Why wouldn’t she want me with her?” Dean asked. “I should be in there with her.”
“I don’t know.”
Darla had refused to let Dean into the room, and told him to stay out and help Shaun with the two girls. Neither of them was happy to be held back from the women they loved.
“I’m going to spank Darla’s ass when she’s well again.”
They went back to their pacing, and Shaun was losing his mind.
“I’m so sorry I’m late,” Paula said, rushing into the room.
Shaun was confused. “What are you doing here?” he asked. Paula had become part of their family over the last three years. She stayed with them over Christmas, and had dived right in, helping out with the episode that Addie had wanted to be perfect and filmed with family love.
“Darla called me and said you needed me to take care of the twins. I was in a meeting, and I only just got out. I’m so sorry. Go and be with your women. You’re about to become fathers again.”
She ushered them away, and Shaun didn’t question her again.
He rushed towards his wife’s room, and as he entered, the sound of a scream filled the air. Going to his wife’s side, he held Addie’s hand as she collapsed against the bed exhausted.
“You’ve got to push one more time. Come on, Addison, you can do this,” the doctor said.
Addie took a deep breath, and he kissed her temple.
“I’ve got you, honey. Squeeze my hand, and hold me.”
“Who’s looking after the twins?”
“Paula. You need me right now, and there’s nowhere else I want to be than here with you, giving birth to our son. Come on, push one more time.”
She sat up again, and he helped her. Locking their fingers together, he urged, and squeezed her hand. “Come on, baby, push for me.”
Addie pushed, screamed, and cried out as their son was finally with them. His screams filled the whole room, and the nurses took him, wrapped him up in a blanket, and brought him over to them.
