It had been a week since Zara and Daniel found out Zara was pregnant. They hadnt told anyone, it was like their little secret. They had their first scan today, they had no idea how far gone Zara was, and eagerly awaited to find out. They decided they would tell Poppy and Izzie tonight, and the mill tomorrow.
Daniel and Zara turned up outside the hospital. Zara sat quietly, and Daniel leant over and kissed her. "Well, baby number 2/3 eh?" Daniel said, smiling at Zara. "I cant believe it," Zara said, "We'll run out of space at home!" "Noo we wont," Daniel said, putting a hand on Zara's stomach, "We're going to have 3 perfect children, Zara," "It doesnt seem real, but it is," Zara said. "Its real," Daniel said, glancing at his watch, "Oh, come on, our appointments soon." They got out of the car and held hands all the way into st Phils. They sat in the waiting room.
"Daniel and Zara Granger, Please," The nurse said. Daniel and Zara stood up and walked into the room. "Ok, Im Fiona, your nurse for today," The nurse said. "So your here for a scan?" "Yep," Zara said. "Ok, just lie on the hospital bed for me please," Fiona said. Zara did as she was told and the nurse put jelly on her slightly swelled stomach. "We've only just found out and we're not sure how far gone Zara is," Daniel explained, holding Zara's hand. "Ok, well we will find out for you today aswell," Fiona said, smiling. The scan showed up on a screen, and Zara and Daniel smiled. "Ok, well looks as if your around 13 weeks gone," Fiona said, smiling. "Its a blob," Daniel said. Zara nudged him. "Daniel, incase you've forgotten, babies dont automatically look like babies, they grow into them!" Zara said, smiling. She looked at the screen, "Thats our baby," She said. Daniel kissed Zara, "Another beautiful one," He said. Fiona went off to print out some scans. "Right, there are your scans of your baby, come back in a few weeks for your next scan, your baby seems to be healthy and developing well," Fiona said, handing Daniel and Zara their scans. They thanked Fiona and left.
Daniel and Zara walked out of the hospital and into the car park. Daniel pulled Zara into a long kiss in the middle of the car park. "I love you," Zara said, smiling at Daniel. "I love you too," Daniel said, kissing Zara again. "Lets go pick up the girls, and tell them when we get home," Zara said, taking Daniels hand and guiding him to the car.
Zara, Daniel, Poppy and Izzie all came into the house, Zara carrying Poppy. They sat down in the living room. "Izzie, Poppy, Mummy and Daddy have something to tell you," Daniel said. Izzie and Poppy sat on a sofa together. "What is it Daddy?" Izzie asked. "Well, you two are going to have a baby brother or sister," Zara said, "Im pregnant!" Izzie looked happy but confused, and Poppy didnt really understand what was happening, but smiled. "So your going to get a big tummy?" Izzie asked. "Yes, i am," Zara said, smiling, "Im getting a little bump at the moment but it'll get bigger," "Mummy big!" Poppy giggled. Zara and Daniel smiled at eachother, before Zara went over to Izzie and Poppy, picked them up and carried them over to the sofa herself and Daniel were sitting on. "Mummy!" Poppy said, cuddling Zara. Zara hugged her daughter tightly and smiled. She was worried they wouldnt want another sibling but both Izzie and Poppy were fine with it.

Zara and Daniel were both in Daniels office. Today they would tell the Mill that Zara was pregnant. "Ok, you ready for today?" Zara asked. "Ive never been more ready," Daniel said, kissing Zara. Zara stood up, and took Daniels hand. Everyone was already in the staffroom as it seemed Jimmi had an announcement to make aswell. "Hi everyone, Zara and I have an announcement," Daniel said. "So do Cherry and I," Jimmi said. "Ok, erm, Who wants to go first?" Julia asked. Zara and Daniel looked at each other. "You first, Jimmi," Zara said, holding on to Daniels hand tightly. "Ok, erm, well, me and cherry, we're expecting a baby," Jimmi said. Cherry smiled and everyone congratulated and clapped for them. Daniel and Zara looked at eachother, was this seriously happening? "Are you serious?" Zara asked. "Of Course," Cherry smiled, "What was your announcement?" "Well, funnily enough, im pregnant aswell," Zara said. "No, seriously?" Cherry asked. "Yep, im afraid so, how many weeks gone are you?" Zara asked. "15 weeks, you?" Cherry said. "13 weeks," Zara said. "This is slightly scary..." Daniel said. "Well congratulations to all of you, looks like we're going to have babies crawling around everywhere!" Karen said, smiling. Jimmi kissed Cherry and Zara kissed Daniel. They then departed to their opposite rooms.
"Goodness Elaine, when the babies are born ill have 4 of them off at once and we're short of nurses as it is!" Julia said. "Aww nevermind, I think its lovely their starting families," Elaine said. "Hormonal Zara and Cherry, this should be interesting," Julia smiled. Mrs Tembe walked past at this point. "I am so happy for them both. Part of me wishes i had a child with Mr Tembe, imagine, a miniture version of me!" Mrs Tembe smiled. "Yep, miniture wigs..." Elaine said. Julia burst out laughing. "What happened to Mr Tembe," Julia asked. "Oh it was so tragic, I was with my sister, Precious, and we were in the kitchen. In fact we were trying to cook Serobe, we had everything except for the coffee, which dilutes the smell. Mr Tembe smelt it and that was the end of him. So Very Tragic" Mrs Tembe said, with exageratted hand movements and head shaking. "What did your sister do?" Elaine asked. "Oh, well we stood there, and then she just went CLOSED! She was not very reasurring," Mrs Tembe said. "Oh, well that is a shame," Julia said.
Daniel and Jimmi were in Jimmi's Room. "I cant believe it mate, both Zara and Cherry pregnant at the same time?" Jimmi said. "I know, its a really crazy coincidence," Daniel said. "Maybe Zara and Cherry will compare bump sizes," Daniel said. "Hahaha maybe. We should compare notes, Like you tell me what Zara's craving, ill tell you what Cherrys craving," Jimmi said. "Yeah why not, Deal," Daniel said, "I bet theyll be betting on whos going to have their baby first!" "Haha yeah probably. Techniqually Cherry would be first, but you never know," Jimmi said, "What was Zara craving when she was pregnant with Poppy?" "Jaffa Cakes," Daniel said, "She was a nightmare, we'd be buying tonnes of jaffa cakes. If shes craving them this time im just going to take her to costco and get some from there!" "Hahah good idea." Jimmi said, "Cherrys probably going to crave cakes or something,"
Zara was getting herself a drink when Cherry wandered through. Cherry spotted Zara and stopped. "Hi Zara," She said. Zara turned around and smiled at Cherry. "Cant believe we'll be going through pregnancy together," Cherry said. "Well its a huge coincidence," Zara said, "I say, we meet up every week and compare bump sizes!" "Yeah good idea!" Cherry said. "So what do Izzie and Poppy think of you being pregnant again?" "Their fine with it, Their both excited actually," Zara replied. "Aww thats good," Cherry smiled, "Anyway i better go and find Jimmi," "Yeah, i better go and find Daniel," Zara said. At this moment, Jimmi and Daniel emerged from Jimmi's room. "Here they are," Zara said, walking over to Daniel and putting her arms round his neck. "Hello Gorgeous," Daniel said, kissing Zara. "Daniel, on the way home, can we stop at asda? i need to buy some salt and vinegar pringles," Zara said. "Your not craving salt and vinegar pringles are you?" Daniel asked. "Looks like i am," Zara said, resting her head on Daniels shoulder.

Zara sat in her office, a mountain of tubes of pringles under her desk. She had already gotten through a tube and a half today. She was trying to keep herself away from them but it just wasnt possible. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Zara said. Daniel opened the door and came inside. "Hows my beautiful wife and baby Granger?" Daniel asked, sitting down on the desk. Zara sat next to him. "I think their both fine," Zara said, kissing Daniel, "This baby loves its pringles though," Zara said, pointing at the line of pringles tubes by the bin. "Hahaha, are you sure its not its mummy who loves the pringles?" Daniel said, recieving a slap on the arm from Zara. Daniel put his arms around Zara, and Zara cuddled up to him. "How are you and Cherry getting along? Not comparing bump sizes yet?" Daniel asked. "Nope. Well theres not really much of a bump to compare yet, i mean obviously we both have a slight curve but its not really a bump yet," Zara said, putting a hand on her stomach. Daniel leant in and kissed Zara. They were kissing for a while, until they were inturrupted by Mrs Tembe walking in. "I wish i had not just witnessed such in-depth kissing," Mrs Tembe said, with a semi-disgusted look on her face. Zara put her head on Daniel's shoulder, and Daniel wrapped his arms around her. "What can we do for you, Mrs T?" Daniel asked. "It is Mrs Tembe actually, not Mrs T. I am not a teabag," Mrs Tembe said, causing Zara to giggle. "I came here to tell you that there was an alarm going off on your car Daniel, i was just telling you i switched it off," "Oh, well thankyou very much Mrs Tembe, i must say your awfully good at car mechanics." Daniel said. "Why thankyou, Dr Granger, i have natural knowledge of it," Mrs Tembe said, smiling, "I will bring you both a cup of finest coffee. It has come all the way from Stansted Airport, where my darling sister Precious works!" Mrs Tembe said, walking out of the room. "At least its not botswanian brew," Daniel said. Zara laughed and kissed Daniel. Then she yawned and snuggled up to Daniel. "You ok sweetheart?" Daniel asked. "Yeah, just really tired," Zara replied. "Why dont you have a nap or something, Im sure Julia would understand," Daniel said. "Daniel, where would i have a nap here?" Zara replied. "Well theres a doctors bed/chair thing there" Daniel said "Yes Daniel, because im really going to have a nap there in the middle of a doctors surgery!" Zara said sarcastically. "Well, we had sex in the middle of a doctors surgery so i guess anythings possible..." Daniel said. "That was different," Zara said, smiling, "And a very long time ago!" "Wait here," Daniel said, leaving the room to go to Julia's office.
"Daniel, what can i do for you?" Julia asked "Well, its not really me, its Zara," Daniel said. "What is it? Is Zara ok? is the baby ok?" Julia asked, sounding worried. "Zara and the baby are both fine. Zara's exhausted though, she needs a nap or something," Daniel said. "Well, ill get someone to cover her appointments until lunchtime, you take her home and put her to bed, check shes okay and then come back?" Julia suggested. "Thats perfect, will she be okay if i leave her on her own?" Daniel asked. "Oh Daniel, she'll be fine. Go back during lunchtime, wake her up, then both of you back here for afternoone surgery?" Julia said. "Ok, thank you so much, Julia," Daniel said, leaving the room.
Daniel walked into Zara's consulting room. "Come on, im taking you home, spend the rest of the morning at home sleeping, ill come back at lunchtime and then we eat and both return to here after," Daniel said. Zara didnt bother arguing. She picked up her stuff and left the room with Daniel.
Daniel pulled up onto the drive. He looked across to Zara, who had already fallen asleep. He smiled at her. "Zara," He said, putting a hand on her arm, "Zara, wake up," Zara slowly opened her eyes. "We're home," Daniel explained, "Come on," Zara opened her car door and got out. They walked up the drive together and into the house. Zara went upstairs whilst Daniel shut the door. He then followed Zara, who was curled up on the bed. "Hey," Daniel said. "Hello," Zara smiled at Daniel, who came and sat on his side of the bed. Daniel stroked Zaras hair, and within minutes, Zara was fast asleep. Daniel found a blanket and put it over Zara, then kissed her forehead. Daniel left a note by the side of the bed "Gone back to work, ring if you need me, D xxx". Daniel went back in his car and drove back to work.
Daniel unlocked the front door. Morning surgery had finished and Daniel had gone home to see Zara. He crept up the stairs to find Zara fast asleep. She looked so sweet when she was asleep, Daniel took a picture of her. He then knelt by the bed. "Zara," He whispered, "Zara," Zara stirred slightly, then opened her eyes. She smiled at Daniel. "Good Sleep?" Daniel asked. "Yeah it was lovely, i feel so much better now," Zara said, leaning forward and kissing Daniel. "Good, well as adorable as you look there, i think you should get up, its lunch now and your back at work this afternoon," Daniel said, stroking a bit of hair off of Zara's face. "Or you could come to bed," Zara said suggestively. "Now, now, steady on Zara," Daniel said, kissing Zara. Zara reluctantly broke away and got out of bed. They went downstairs and ate some lunch together. The house seemed quite quite without Izzie and Poppy, as they were normally wandering round the house and playing games with their teddies. Zara went upstairs to touch up her makeup. She turned so she was facing sideways to the mirror. Zara smiled as she saw the slight curve in her stomach.
Daniel and Zara pulled up at the mill. "Oh, whos on nursery/school duty today?" Daniel asked. "You are," Zara replied, kissing Daniel. "Oh, ok. Erm so should i go and collect them, then bring them back here to pick you up?" Daniel asked. "Yes, do that," Zara said. They got out of the car and went into work.
Daniel waited outside Izzies school. Eventually the reception class came out. Izzie walked along with her friend, Then said goodbye to her friend. "Daddy!" Izzie said, running over to Daniel. Daniel picked up Izzie. "Hello Izzie," Daniel said. Izzie put her arms round Daniel,"Did you have a good day at school?" Izzie nodded and Daniel put her down. He held onto her hand and they walked out of school together. "Wheres Poppy?" Izzie asked. "Oh we're going to pick her up now," Daniel said, as he strapped Izzie into her carseat. Daniel drove to Poppy's nursery, and Poppy was happy to see him. "Daddy!" Poppy said, crawling over to Daniel. Poppy hadnt completely got the hang of walking yet so she still crawled alot. Daniel picked up Poppy, said goodbye to the nursery nurses, and went out to the car. He strapped Poppy in and drove back to the Mill. Daniel was early - there was still 20 minutes until Zara would be finished. Daniel got Izzie and Poppy out of their carseats, and carried them both into The Mill. Daniel went through to the staffroom and sat down on the sofa. Izzie sat down next to Daniel, and Poppy got off and started walking. She had suddenly got the hang of it! Poppy knew where Zara's room was, she had been in it lots of times. While Daniel wasnt looking, Poppy wandered off, headed for Zara's room. Daniel looked up just as Poppy reached the door. "Poppy!" Daniel said, jumping up and running over to Poppy. He picked her up and took her back over to the sofa. "Popps, Mummys busy at the moment, she'll be out soon," Daniel said, sitting down on the sofa with Poppy. Izzie pointed to Zaras room "Look, Zara coming out!" She said. Poppy tried to get off Daniels lap, but Daniel held onto her. Daniel picked up Poppy and walked over to Zara. "Someone here to see you," Daniel said to Zara. "Aww, Hello Poppy," Zara said, taking Poppy off Daniel and cuddling her. "Mummy!" Poppy said, putting her little arms around Zara's neck. "Shes been waiting to see you ever since ive picked her up from nursery!" Daniel said. Zara smiled, as Izzie came over and held onto Daniels hand. Poppy grabbed onto Zara's hair, She was 2 and a half yet still hadnt got out of this habit yet. "Ok, are we ready to go?" Daniel asked. Zara nodded,. "Ill just get my bag," She said, still carrying Poppy, Zara went into her office and picked up her bags. Poppy pointed to the photo Zara had on her desk. It was of Zara, Daniel, Izzie and Poppy. Daniel had an identical picture on his desk. "Yes Poppy, its our family," Zara said, "Come on, hometime," Zara returned from her office with Poppy and her bags moments later. The four of them went out of the mill, into the car, and home.

Zara and Cherrys bumps were quite noticeable now. Cherry was 20 weeks pregnant and Zara was 17 weeks. They sat in the staffroom together one lunchtime. "The morning sickness is dreadful," Cherry said. "It wasnt as bad with Poppy, this baby seems to like Mummy having horrible morning sickness though," Zara said. "Aww! Im craving cheerios," Cherry giggled. "Thats random, then again im craving pringles and honey shreddies though so i can hardly talk!" Zara smiled. Zara and Cherry had really bonded over the last few weeks and over their pregnancies. "Wow its going to be weird when their born, only being 3 weeks apart," Cherry said, "They'll grow up together," Zara replied, "They're friends before they've even been born!" "Aww thats so sweet," Cherry smiled.
Zara was working in her office. Julia had cut down on her paperwork although there was still a lot to do. Zara sailed through the paperwork, it was relatively easy. Zara put her pen down and sat back. she put a hand on her bump and smiled. In 23 weeks she would have another baby. She knew how lucky she was to have Poppy and Izzie, even though Izzie wasnt biologically her daughter, she sure felt like she was. There was a knock on the door. "Come in," Zara said. In walked Daniel, who sat next to Zara. "How are you today, not too tired?" Daniel asked. "Nope im alright today, had a good nights sleep," Zara said. "Something to do with me having my arms wrapped around you all night?" Daniel asked. "Yes, definatly," Zara said, leaning forward and kissing Daniel. She wrapped her arms around him and they stayed like this for a while. "Come on, lets go and pick the girls up, then go home," Daniel said. Zara nodded and put her things into her bags. She then proceeded to walk out of the door. "No, give me your doctors bag," Daniel said, taking it off Zara. "Daniel im pregnant not invalid," Zara said, although the bag was quite heavy. She decided to let it go, so held onto Daniels hand. they wandered out of the mill together, smiling.
Zara and Daniel waited outside Izzies school. Izzie soon came skipping out. "Hello You," Zara said, picking Izziw up. Izzie pointed to Zara's stomach. "Baby!" Izzie said, smiling. "Yes, baby in there, your little brother or sister," Zara said, smiling and kissing Izzie on the cheek. She passed Izzie over to Daniel, who also gave her a cuddle. "Come on, lets go and get your sister," Zara smiled at Izzie. Daniel put Izzie down and the 3 of them made their way to the car.
"Mummy! Daddy! Zizzie!" Poppy said, toddling over to the rest of her family. She was very excited to see them. "Hello Pops," Zara said, picking Poppy up. Poppy cuddled her mummy. "Your tummy get big!" Poppy smiled. Zara smiled at this. "Yes, its got a baby inside, your brother or sister," Zara smiled, Carrying Poppy out, Izzie and Daniel following.
Daniel unlocked the door and Poppy and Izzie both walked inside, Zara following. "You alright?" Daniel asked. "Yeah im fine," Zara smiled at Daniel, "Ok girlies, what would you like for dinner?" "Pastwa!" Poppy said. "Pasta ok with you, Izzie?" Zara asked. "Yay i want pasta!" Izzie smiled, wandering off. "Pasta it is then," Zara said, taking her pink coat off and hanging it up. Her coat didnt really fit over her bump but Zara adored the coat and wore it anyway. it wasnt that cold out either.
Zara came downstairs, having gotten changed into more comfortable clothes. She started making pasta for Izzie and Poppy. Both girls seemed to adore pasta. She made their dinner and put it on the table. "Girls, dinner," Zara called. Poppy and Izzie came running for food. Zara sat at the table with them, she was exhausted. Daniel wandered through to the kitchen. "Zara, you look like a zombie, go and get some rest," Daniel said, much to the dissapproval of Zara. "Im fine," Zara insisted. "Right," Daniel said, picking up Zara. she was extremely heavy with the baby and Daniel was very careful carrying her. Daniel carried Zara to their room and put her on the bed. Zara wrapped her arms around Daniels neck and kissed him. They stayed like this for a short while. "Go on," Zara said, "Go make sure the girls are ok, come back later," Zara said. Daniel reluctantly got up and walked out.
"Daddy, why mummy always tired?" Poppy asked. "Shes pregnant, her baby makes her tired," Daniel replied. "Oh. did i make her tired?" Poppy asked. "Yes, you did, she slept for most of the day weeks before you were born," Daniel replied, taking Poppys plate off the table and into the sink. Poppy jumped up. "Is mummy still awake?" Poppy asked. "Yeah, she should be, do you want to go and give her a cuddle?" Daniel asked. Poppy nodded. "Ok, lets all go upstairs and give mummy a cuddle," Daniel crept into their room. Zara was still awake. "In you go," Daniel said. He was carrying Izzie, but Poppy went in. "Hello Mummy!" Poppy said, bounding over to Zara. "Hello you," Zara said, as poppy climbed onto the bed. Poppy put her arms round her mummy. "I love you mummy, your the best mummy in the world!!" Poppy said. Zara wrapped her arms round her daughter, "I love you too Poppy, your my lovely lovely daughter and im so lucky to have you," Zara said.
Daniel slowly opened the door to his room. Zara and Poppy were on the bed, fast asleep. Daniel smiled and left them to it. In a few months they would have another beautiful baby, and they couldnt wait.

Zara was 26 weeks pregnant, and was driving Daniel up the wall. She was extremely hormonal, she could go from being sweet as pie to superbitch in 0.0005 seconds. Most of the time she was lovely though. They had decided against finding out the gender of the baby, as they wanted it to be a surprise. Zara had decided she would take maternity leave early than she did with Poppy, as last time she was extremely tired and stressed towards the end of her pregnancy, which may have contributed to Poppy arriving 4 weeks early. Zara was going to leave work to go on maternity in 4 weeks, and in a way, she was excited.
Zara was downstairs pouring Honey Shreddies for Izzie and Poppy. Both of the girls refused to eat any other cereal. Daniel came down and crept up behind Zara, putting his arms around her waist and hands on her bump. "Good Morning," Daniel said, kissing Zara on the cheek. Zara smiled and put her hands on Daniels.
"Aww, Zara and Daddy cuddling!" Izzie said, getting out of her seat and darting past Zara and Daniel to her cereal.
"Hold it with both hands, Izzie," Zara said. Although it was in a plastic bowl, she didnt really fancy getting on the floor to pick up about 100 honey shreddies. Izzie did as she was told and put the bowl in front of Poppy. Then she went back and got her own bowl.
"Come on Daniel, hands off the bump," Zara said, removing Daniels hands from her bump. Daniel got himself a bowl of honey shreddies and sat with Poppy and Izzie. "Big Kid," Zara said quietly. Daniel heard and turned around to find Zara pouring 2 bowls of cereal. "Ha, Says you!" Daniel said. "Im eating for 2!" Zara protested, sitting down with her 2 bowls of cereal. "Yeah but surely the baby wont need a whole bowl of cereal along with your bowl?" Daniel questioned. "Well at least it wont go hungry," Zara said, starting on her first bowl.
Zara brought Izzie and Poppy downstairs. She had just gotten Izzie and Poppy dressed. "Whos on after school runs today?" Daniel asked. "I am," Zara replied. "You ok to drive?" Daniel asked. "God Daniel, Im pregnant, not ill. Apart from my bump being a little tight behind the steering wheel, im fine!" Zara said. "Ok,Ok, Only being the concerned husband," Daniel said, "Come on, we dont want the girls to be late for School and Nursery, lets go,"
Zara got out of the car, holding Poppys hand. They walked into nursery and Zara gave Poppy a hug. "Bye Poppy, see you later, be a good girl," Zara said. She went back to the car and they continued the school run. At Izzies school, Daniel got out with Izzie and dropped her off. He returned to the car minutes later and got in. "Right, work," Daniel said, kissing Zara. they stayed in an embrace for a couple of minutes, before driving on.
Zara and Daniel were kissing behind the shelved in reception. Noone could see them. To their great misfortune however, Mrs Tembe was walking through to reception, when she spotting them. "What on EARTH are you doing?" Mrs Tembe demanded. "Just a quick snog behind reception..." Daniel said. Zara started laughing. "How very disrespectful. Public Displays of affection should not be allowed. They show great unproffesional manner!" Mrs Tembe said, sounding disgusted. "Noone can actually see us Mrs Tembe, so to be honest i dont know what your worrying about, but sure, if you wish, Daniel and I can continue where we left off in my office." Zara said. "And what if a patient was to walk in?" Mrs Tembe asked. "Ive got no patients for 40 minutes, Daniel hasnt got any for 30, whats the problem?" Zara asked, walking off. Daniel put an arm around Zara and walked with her.
Zara and Daniel sat in Zara's office, laughing about Mrs Tembe. "Her face when she saw us!" Daniel laughed. Zara giggled and kissed Daniel again. She suddenly broke away and put a hand on her stomach. Daniel got protective and worried. "Zara, whats wrong?" He asked. "Nothing, its fine, the baby just kicked, thats all," Zara smiled, she loved it when the baby kicked. Daniel put his hands on Zara's bump and felt the kicking too. He put his arms around Zara and hugged her. "Right, i better go, got a patient soon," Daniel said, giving Zara a kiss and leaving the room.
The day had flown by and Zara was left with school runs. She got in the car and first drove to Izzies school. She waited with all the other mums. She got the impression that many of the mums didnt seem to like her, they always seemed to look her up and down. There were a few mums she got on well with. "Zara! How are you? Hows the baby?" Amy, one of Izzie's friends Mums came over. Zara and Amy chatted sometimes, they got on well. "Hi Amy, Me and the baby are both doing great thanks, except its been kicking all day today!" Zara said. "Aww, how many weeks have you got left again?" Amy asked. "14 weeks to go, we're all very excited," Zara said. At this point the children came out of school. Izzie came out crying though. She ran over to Zara. "Izzie, whats the matter? Has that girl been nasty to you again?" Zara said, taking Izzie to one side. Izzie nodded. "Jodie was being mean, she pushed me in the sandpit at lunch and ripped up my drawing just now," Izzie cried. Zara picked up Izzie and hugged her. Zara was quite angry that a girl could be so mean to Izzie. "Come on Iz, lets talk to your teacher, see if she can sort it."
Zara walked into Izzies classroom. "Hi Mrs Granger," The teacher said, her eyes fixated on Zara's bump, "Everything alright?" "Well, as it happens, no. A girl in your class has been being nasty to Izzie, its not the first time this has happened, Izzies been upset before, but i just want it to stop as its already getting out of hand." Zara said. "Ok, does "the girl" have a name?" The teacher asked. "Jodie." Zara replied. "Oh well you see Jodie's naturally a troublemaker, theres not much we can.." The teacher was cut off by Zara. "What do you mean you cant do much? Izzies obviously getting upset about this, this cant carry on, something needs to be done!" Zara demanded. "Theres no guarentee Jodie will listen.." The teacher replied. Zara had decided she didnt like this teacher, she seemed to have her head in the clouds and no authority. "Right, ok. You either need to sort this out, or ill sort it myself," Zara said. The teacher instantly looked down at Zara's bump, which irritated Zara more, "I may be 26 weeks pregnant but that doesnt mean i can't give the girl a good talking to!"
Zara strapped Izzie into the car and they drove to Poppys nursery. After the confrontation with Izzie's teacher, they were running a bit late. Zara picked up Poppy and drove the girls home.

Daniel opened his eyes and looked to his left where Zara was sleeping. She was lying on her side with a hand on her bump. Daniel didnt want to wake her as she looked so sweet how she was. Daniel got out of bed, being careful not to wake Zara. He went across the landing to Poppys room. Daniel poked his head round the door to see if she was awake yet. Poppy was standing up in her cot, clearly wanting to be let out. "Hello Pops" Daniel said, going over to Poppy and picking her up. Poppy put her arms round her daddy. Daniel smiled. "Shall we go and see if Izzies awake yet?" "See Izzie!" Poppy ordered. Daniel carried Poppy to Izzies room. Izzie was still asleep. "Go on Poppy, go and wake Izzie up!" Daniel said, putting Poppy down. Poppy toddled over to Izzies bed and climbed on to it. "Wake up Iz Iz!" Poppy said. Izzie stirred a bit, then opened her eyes. "Poppy!" Izzie sat up and cuddled her sister. Daniel smiled at the 2 sisters, they got along well now, he knew in many years time they'd both be teenagers fighting over makeup and straighteners! "Girls, if we're all quiet as mice, shall we go and see Mummy?" Daniel asked. "See Mummy!" Poppy said. Izzie climbed out of bed and helped Poppy down. Izzie held Poppys hand and they walked across to Zara and Daniels bedroom. Zara was still fast asleep. Izzie and Poppy walked to the end of the bed, but they were both a bit too small to climb on their parents bed. Daniel came in and lifted them both onto the bed. Poppy went and sat next to where Zara was sleeping, and Izzie put her little arms round Zara and gave her a cuddle. Zara stirred and opened her eyes. She slowly turned around to find Izzie and Poppy sitting next to her. "Hello you two," Zara said, putting her arms out for a cuddle. Poppy and Izzie both cuddled up to Zara. "Mummy your tummys really big now," Izzie said, smiling. Zara looked at Daniel, who looked back at Zara. Izzie had just called Zara Mummy! Zara was extra hormonal and teared up. "Dont cry Mummy!" Poppy said, cuddling Zara. Zara put her arms around both Izzie and Poppy and cuddled them. Daniel watched them and climbed back into bed. Zara let go of the girls and Poppy crawled over to Daniel and gave him a cuddle. "Aw we have been lazy today, its my last day at work! Zara said. She was 30 weeks pregnant and had a very large baby bump. "Daniel, im going to get myself washed and dressed, can you sort the girls out for breakfast?" Zara asked. "Yeah sure," Daniel said, kissing Zara on the forehead, "Right, Izzie, Poppy, lets go downstairs and get some breakfast, yeah?" Daniel picked up Poppy as she didnt like stairs, and carried her downstairs, holding Izzies hand. Daniel put Poppy in her chair and Izzie sat down at the table. "Cheerio's or shreddies?" Daniel asked. "Shreddies," Izzie replied. "Cheerios!" Poppy said Daniel poured a bowl of cheerios and a bowl of shreddies then took them over to the table. "There you go," Daniel said, giving them both a cup of orange juice aswell. Daniel poured a glass of orange juice for Zara and made himself a coffee.
Zara came downstairs, hand on bump. "You look beautiful, as always," Daniel said, pulling a chair out for Zara. Zara sat down and smiled. Poppy and Izzie were both eating their cereals quietly. "Zara, your 30 weeks pregnant yet your still wearing heels?" Daniel asked. "Of Course!" Zara retorted, "Like i said when i was pregnant with Poppy, im pregnant, not ill! And its my last day, then ive got plenty of time to not wear heels!" Daniel rolled his eyes, Zara was always like this! Poppy finished her cheerios and orange juice. "Right, come on Poppy, time to get dressed," Zara said, picking up Poppy and carrying her upstairs. She took Poppy to her room. "What do you want to wear today?" Zara asked. She didnt get much of a response, so Zara just picked out some leggings and a top for Poppy. It was July but in typical english style it was cold out, and Zara wanted Poppy to be warm. Zara brushed Poppys hair. Poppy had gorgeous brunette hair just past her shoulders - exactly like Zara's hair. "Right, Pops, i think your all done," Zara said, kissing her daughter on the cheek. Zara felt her baby kick and she put a hand on her stomach and smiled. She sat down. "Poppy, come here," Zara said. Poppy toddled over. "Put your hands on mummys tummy, your brother or sisters kicking," Poppy put her hand on Zara's bump and felt the baby kicking. "Baby!" Poppy said, smiling. Zara nodded and picked Poppy up. Poppy put her arms round Zara's neck and cuddled her. Zara cuddled Poppy.
Finally the whole household was ready for work, school and nursery. Daniel strapped Izzie and Poppy into their seats, then called up the stairs for Zara. "Zara, we're going to be late, we're all waiting for you again!" Daniel called. Zara was unimpressed and came down the stairs. She walked past Daniel and got into the car. Daniel locked up, then got in and the Granger family school run commenced.
Daniel and Zara walked into work together, hand in hand. Karen was on reception. She had been at the campus for the best part of 3 weeks, and had seen Zara in a while. "Wow, Zara, your bump has grown rapidly since i last saw you!" Karen said. "I guess it has," Zara said, smiling and putting a hand on her bump. She picked up her notes and scarpered into her office. She wanted to get this day over and done with so she could have a rest! Zara was very tired aswell, she didnt sleep too well last night.
Daniel opened Zara's door, where Zara was sitting on the patient bed. Daniel went and sat next to her. "You alright?" Daniel asked. Zara nodded, "Just tired," She replied. Daniel wrapped his arms around Zara. She snuggled up to him and put her head on his shoulder. "I love you," Daniel said, kissing Zara's forehead. "I love you too Daniel, and i cant wait for this little one to be born," Zara replied, hands on bump. "Only 10 weeks until your due date," Daniel said, sounded quite excited. "I know, i cant believe how time has flown," Zara said, smiling. Daniel put a hand on Zaras bump and Zara put her hand on his. "Come on, its nearly the end of the day, the others are all waiting for you in the staffroom," Daniel said. He took Zara's hand and led Zara to the staffroom. In the staffroom, the rest of the team had done a little party for Zara. Zara didnt know about this. "Surprise!" The rest of the mill said as Zara walked in. Daniel had picked up Poppy and Izzie, so they were here too. Zara was very hormonal and she started crying - she was so happy. Daniel put his arms around her and gave Zara a cuddle. "Heres the hormonal one!" Daniel joked, recieving a slap from Zara. "Mummy dont cry!" Poppy said, climbing off the sofa and toddling over to her mum. Zara turned around and knelt down to Poppy's height. Poppy put her little arms round Zara and hugged her. Izzie soon joined them. The staffroom was filled with "awwww"s" and "bless". Cherry had made some cupcakes.
The party went on for a while. at around 8:00, Poppy wandered over to Zara. "mummy im tired!" Poppy said, yawning. Zara picked up her daughter. "I know sweetie," Zara said, kissing Poppy on the cheek. Daniel was busy chatting with Jimmi and Zar had been talking to Julia. "Aw, their so sweet when they're young arnt they," Julia said, smiling. Zara smiled and nodded at Julia. "Hello Poppy," Julia said to Poppy. "Hello," Poppy replied, putting her arms out to Julia. "Do you want me to take Poppy for a bit Zara?" Julia asked. "Do you want to have a cuddle with Julia Poppy? Lets have a cuddle with Julia, ok?" Zara said to Poppy, smiling. Poppy put her arms out for Julia, and Zara passed her over.
Izzie was sitting with Cherry, who had come in specially as she left 2 weeks before. Zara went over to Daniel as both Poppy and Izzie were looking tired now. "Daniel, the girls are both tired, and i am aswell now," Zara said, picking up a glass of orange juice. "Ok, erm, another 15 minutes, half an hour or something?" Daniel asked. "Ok thats fine, half an hour, tops," Zara said, giving Daniel a quick peck, before returning to Julia, who was still holding Poppy. "We're going to make a move in about half an hour Julia, if thats alright?" Zara said. "Oh yeah thats absolutely fine. Poppy seems to be really tired and Izzie looks a bit tired too," Julia said. "Yeah and im tired as well!" Zara smiled. "Just think, 10 weeks of putting your feet up," Julia said, "You can rest, sleep and eat," "Can't wait! although i might pop in here a couple of lunchtimes," Zara said. "Thats fine, but under no circumstances are you coming in and working," Julia said. "Can i just say a few words to everyone?" Zara asked. "Course you can," Julia smiled. Zara got everyones attention. "Um, I'd just like to say thankyou to everyone here for supporting me through this pregnancy. Even when im hormonal and bite your heads off, i do appreciate it. Daniel is a saint for putting up with me. I'll miss this place, but i know im coming back, and i'll definitly bring the baby in to show you all," Zara said, "Daniel, i love you tons, your my husband and our childrens father, and im so lucky to have you. Cherry, our babies can be friends, friends from birth in fact. Poppy and Izzie, I love you both, you both gorgeous and Izzie, your like a biological daughter to me." Zara started tearing up again, so Daniel went over and gave her a hug.
The night ended and Zara and Daniel were strapping the girls into their carseats in the car. Everyone waved them off before returning inside to clear up the party.
