Abraham heard his name and looked up from his phone while he walked the streets of downtown Kismet Harbor. "Travis," a surprised tone coated the words but his lips quickly curled into a bright smile. "I hadn't realized you'd made it back town." He told the man, knowing him and his wife had taken some time off from living in town. "How are you? The baby? Wife?" He chuckled as he listed off, "You know, the basics." Abraham's laughter was soft as he smiled at Travis. "It's been a while." @traviscowan

His grin increased and he walked over to his friend, putting his hands in his pockets. "Yeah. We got back a few days ago. Figured it was time to get back to work." He chuckled a bit. "I'm doing good. Glad to be back home. Bella May is amazing. Growing like a weed. She'll be one before I know it." He grinned proudly talking about his daughter. "Lili is doing great too. She's healing still, but is doing good. The time with her dad helped a lot I think." Travis informed him. "How are you, though? Anything new with you?" @abrahamxwhitney

Hearing his wife's voice, he smiled as he looked over at her. "Yeah. Just wanted to hold her a bit." He said as he rocked the chair still. Trav's favorite thing to do at night was to read to their little Bella May. She had him wrapped around her finger just like Lili did. He watched as she made her way over to them and smiled happily when she ran her fingers through his hair. "She has. She'll be a year before we know it." In two months to be exact. It was hard to believe him and Lili had been married for a year now. So much had happened since then and he knew Lili had been through a lot. "Let me move and you sit." @elizabethxcowan

"I wish we'd get away with it, though I think her grandparents might have my head if we did it that way." He knew how traditional that they were, even wanting Isla and Eli to get married in their church. Elian respected them too much to do anything else but a man could dream. "No matter when you have one it will be a magical day, again," Eli told Travis with a bright smile. "That's great," he nodded his head, "I'm sure it can be tough, though, having not good days mixed in there and if either if you need anything, you know you can count on me. Not that I don't doubt you don't already have a village of people helping you out." @travisjackson

He chuckled a little and nodded. "I get that. My mom felt the same, but in the end, it should just matter what you guys want." That's what mattered most to him and Lils and they were definitely happy in their marriage. But he knew everyone had their own thing and he was supportive of Eli and Isla. "I'm sure it will be." He agreed with a smile. "It definitely can be and thanks for that. We definitely do, but it's nice knowing we have so much support." @elianxbrowne

He nodded. "I could've told you that one." Travis pointed out to him. He knew how Lili was feeling and there wasn't any jokes to have there. Listening to him, he nodded. "I have no doubt. It's just a little at a time." And he was her biggest supporter. He wouldn't force her to do anything she didn't want to do, but knew her determination would get her to where she wanted to be. "Good. Thanks for helping out with all this. I appreciate having you around." @drewxjackson

"Great," he smiled at Travis as he sat down across the table from him. "Things are going great." Eli had a feeling that with everything going on, that he didn't want to tiptoe around their own lives. "We've been house hunting, actually. Though I have a feeling I might end up building her a dream Barbie house at this rate," he joked, shaking his head as a smile grew. "Wedding planning is going well. We haven't set a date," he told Travis, "trying to get all the things we want to line up is trickier than I thought it would be." He chuckled softly, "How's Lili and your daughter?" @travisjackson

He laughed and nodded. "Hey, as someone who did a slightly similar thing, it's worth it. Trust me." Travis loved the house he built and he knew Lili was too. It was their forever house, and he wouldn't have it any other way. "I understand that one. It was worth it just waking up one morning and going to get married the same day." He chuckled. "We still want a ceremony, though. Might just be a bit. They're good though. Lili's going through her physical therapy and some days are better than others." Which was expected, he was just glad she was awake. "Bella May is great. She's growing so fast it feels like." @elianxbrowne

Ben sighed and looked at his brother. "Well, that period I was a mess and before I got help. I got drunk and ended up sleeping with someone I have worked with in the past. I know it was stupid but ya..." he explained as he looked at his brother. Ben was not someone who did random hook-up or one night stands like that but he was drunk and a mess. Still, he was also someone to be careful. "She called me and met and told me she was pregnant." @travisjackson

"And it was a woman?" He asked, the whole thing sounding weird. "Why would you do that?" Travis wasn't understanding the whole thing there and maybe it was coming off weird, but the whole thing was strange to him. "And you're sure it's yours?" He asked another question as he crossed his arms and stared at Ben. @benjaminxjackson

Travis hadn't heard his older brother come into the place, even as the man whispered. The dogs had yet to notice either as both were just lounging about in the living room around him. Bella May was up sleeping and Lili was resting as well so Travis thought he'd look over some of the school work the substitute teacher had sent him. He hadn't gone back to work just yet, though he was considering doing it soon because him and Lili would need the extra money, but he still liked to look over the worksheets and grade them as much as he could. He had thought he saw movement coming from the kitchen and he looked back to see his brother and he jumped. "Jesus." He said and stood as he went in there. "I thought your job was to help bring life into the world, not try to take one out." He teased. @mitchelljackson

If Ben was honest, he would say that his brothers and family opinion were very important to him and he was scared of their reaction how they would react to the news. "Sorry, sorry. I am having a kid," he finally said it out. He did not know why it was so hard to say the words. "I am going to be a dad in April Trav...." @travisjackson

Raising an eyebrow, Travis looked at him. "What do you mean you're having a kid?" He asked curiously. "Like you're adopting or doing something via a surrogate?" He asked, trying to make the whole thing make sense in his brain because this was Ben. Ben wasn't straight so him having a kid just wasn't processing in the man's brain. @benjaminxjackson

Eli was spending the evening alone and while the man didn't mind cooking for himself when he left the office, he had zero ambition to do so. "Well, just for me," he laughed as he looked up at Travis, "Isla is out with the ladies tonight so it's just me and pizza," he paused a moment, looking at the empty spot at the table across from him. "Unless you've got time to join me? I don't want to keep you from Liliana if you're need to get back to her." @travisjackson

"Hey, nothing wrong with that." Travis smiled at him and looked at the empty seat as Eli's eyes went to it. "I can join you for a bit. The pizza is still being cooked so no reason why I can't sit and wait." He smiled at the man. "So, how's everything going? How's wedding planning? Have you guys set a date yet?" The man asked curiously. He was happy him and Lili didn't wait to do a big wedding, but at the same time, he couldn't wait to one day do a ceremony with her. @elianxbrowne
