Wyatt was smart enough to have ordered a cab while we were eating dessert so that when we were done, the cab was ready out front to take us back to the hotel. When we were in our suite, I kicked off my shoes and took off my coat to flop down on the couch. I had plans to take a bath and get a good nights sleep but a knock on the door startled me. "Can you please answer the door darling?" Wyatt called out from the bathroom. I looked up to see that Preston was nowhere to be seen as well. The other bathroom maybe? I was confused, maybe it was room service? But we just ate! "Sure!" I called out and peeked through the door's eyehole. I saw a shoulder of a man but that was it. The arm raised to knock again and so I opened it a crack with the chain still locked. My eyes locked into playful brown ones. "Brady?" I squealed in surprise. "Hold on and let me undo the chain!" I pushed the door shut to rip off the chain lock and pull the door open wide. I started to launch myself at him but a little girl voice cried out, "Mommy!" and I looked down to see my daughter. I scooped her up and hugged her tight. My eyes teared up a little as I buried my face into her neck to smell her favorite strawberry shampoo. Brady laughed and picked up us both to move us out of the doorway.

I raised my head in time to see not only Brady but Chase and Jake come in with bags of luggage. The whole family was here! Lexine squirmed so I put her down. She immediately ran for Preston and Wyatt. I was given big hugs and kisses by Brady, Chase and Jake too. "How did... When did you...Was this planned? I just talked to you guys last night!" I sputtered out. They laughed and Jake explained to me that they in fact did have this planned. They were pretty damned sure that the hearing would go my way so they decided to have a mini family vacation in SF for a week. "We were already packed when we Facetimed last night. We did make sure not to tell our little girl here lest she spill the beans. We flew out of Charleston this morning, Lexine had a fabulous time flying. I think that she is a born traveler!"

I was so very happy to have my entire family here. "We get to spend a week here?" I asked excitedly. "Surprise! Here's an early family Christmas present." Chase sang out and planted another kiss on me. "We've got a couple of more suites on either side of you so that everyone can have their own room. Now let me check you out and get my luggage into my room." he said as he pulled his room key out of his pocket. Pulling me by the hand, he dragged me out of the suite and into the hallway. Turning towards his left, he put in his key card and pulled it out and turn the handle when the light turned green. I flicked on the lights and followed him into the bedroom that he chose. Chase pushed his suitcase into a corner of his room and set his carryon bag on the bureau and pulling out his stethoscope before disappearing into his en suite bathroom to wash his hands. I knew the drill, pulled the covers down and sat on his bed, taking off my top and pants.

He came back out and scanned me approvingly. Chase gave a quick but thorough check over. He had me stand up so that he could check out my tiny baby bump. "Just beautiful." he said as he ran his hand over me. "You are healthy and I can already tell that your stress level is way down. Our little jellybean is doing well too." he commented as he stood up to push the door to his bedroom shut and locked it. Chase reached over to grab the tv remote and pushed it on. "We need some background noise in case I make you yell a little too loud, sweetheart." I got excited and unhooked my bra to toss it at him. He caught it in midair and held his other hand out. "Panties too. The sight of you naked and pregnant is too hard to resist!" I pulled them off slowly and stepped out of them. I tossed those to him as well with a smile. Chase started to unbutton his pants and untuck his shirt as he stepped towards me. I took a step back to tease him, "Nuh, uh... Not until you are naked too!"

He laughed and obeyed my directions to get naked. I pulled the covers and sheets down to lay in the middle and gestured for him. I sighed as he covered me with his warm body and touched me. "It's only been like a day but I missed you already." he said to me in between kisses. "I missed you too." I told him as I ran my hands over his body. Chase lowered his head to suckle my breasts and it always got the same response from me. Moisture flooded my feminine folds as his fingers ran through them. couldn't help but moan as he played with my knot of nerves. I was so thankful that each one of them was a thoughtful and generous lover. Ladies first was their motto, however I wanted him inside of me before I came. I guided his hot member into my slick channel. Chase slid in with hissed yes. It didn't take me long to come and Chase not far behind me with groan of ecstasy.

He slid off of me and sighed, "I'm sorry. I just got here and you've had such a big day and the first thing I do is jump your body." I let out a laugh, "You didn't hear me saying no did you? There isn't anything to apologize for. I'm really happy that you're here." He gave me a kiss and then we cleaned up. I was tired and didn't feel like getting dressed again so I just threw on a hotel robe and went back to the others with him. The sleeping arrangements were decided and Lexine decided that I was sleeping with her tonight. I pulled my luggage into her room and we shared the king sized bed. We had a whispered conversation about her plane ride and how much she liked it until we fell asleep.

In the morning she was fully rested and ready to attack the city. "Children seem to adapt to jet lag so much easier." Brady mused over breakfast, "I'm still tired and trying to get used to the time change." Lexine giggled at his comment as she ate her pancakes. "What we doing today?" she asked Preston. Her words with them had progressed to more than two words but still not full out sentences. Preston smiled at her lovingly, "I thought that we might visit Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf today. Does that sound like fun?" She nodded her head eagerly, "Clam Chowder." I grinned at her statement, "She does love her clam chowder." I agreed aloud.

I made sure that all of us were dressed warmly for our trip out there. All of the guys except for Preston had never been to SF before so it was all new to them. Instead of taking public transportation, we took a couple of cabs out there and hit the Pier first. There was a great view of Alcatraz, Lexine got a ride on the Carousel and we all did our part as tourists taking pictures and perusing the shops. After a whispered conversation with Preston, we bought tickets for all of us to take a tour of Alcatraz and surprised Wyatt with it. He was thrilled and so we lined up to take the ferry ride over there. The air was cold and filled with the salty spray of the water. As we waited for the next ferry, all of us got a kick out of the sea lions all piled on each other next to the dock. They were loud and smelly but very entertaining. Jake had his arm around me while Wyatt held Lexine up in his arms so that she could see better. I couldn't stop smiling as I enjoyed my family.

Then it was our turn to board the ferry and visit the island, and the rich history of the famous former prison kept the guys busy. They took turns explaining things to Lexine who was trying her best to understand. She was more interested in the views outside of the buildings. The tour was great and when it was over we arrived back at the Pier where we did some last minute Christmas shopping. Next we walked the block over to Fisherman's Wharf for lunch. The area was filled with aroma of food, mainly crab as they sidewalk vendors sold little cups of shrimp cocktail and Dungeness crabs. We settled on one of the well known restaurants there and went in to get seated.

Lunch was great and I got Cioppino, something that I had been missing. It was great with fresh sourdough bread for the table and everyone enjoyed lunch. It was great and afterwards instead of getting dessert there we trekked the two blocks to Ghirardelli Square to visit their chocolate store. Some of us got ice cream but I opted for some hot chocolate instead. Brady grabbed me and put a small basket in my hands and had me pick out all the chocolates I liked. He paid for them with a wink at me and I just grinned at him. The female cashier couldn't help but stare at him, the gorgeous hunk that Brady is. "You are a lucky, lucky woman." she said to me as I took the bag of candy from her. I smiled at her and said, "Yes, I am." Brady's cheeks turned a little pink as he wrapped an arm around me. I was starting to get a little tired by then but then my men seemed to have already thought of that since a couple more cabs were waiting for us outside to take us back to our hotel.

Back at the hotel, we all took little naps until it was time for dinner. Feeling completely lazy, Wyatt turned on his laptop and did some research on the best pizza place around us and had them deliver some pizza to our hotel room. Jake and I took Lexine downstairs to the gift shop to buy bottles of water, soda and juice for our dinner. Jake also added packets of crackers and beef jerky to our pile. I smiled happily at him knowing that he was making sure that I had snacks in the morning. Since we were all eating dinner together, the one dining table was not big enough so Lexine and I sat on the floor with our food on the coffee table with Chase while the rest sat at the table to eat. We sat around digesting our food and watching television talking about what we saw today.

When it was bedtime, I decided on spending the night with Jake in his room. He was happy and spent a considerable amount of time showing me exactly how happy he was before we went to sleep. He also seemed fascinated by my new baby bump and kept rubbing it. "That's my little jellybean in there. You look so hot pregnant!" If I had been worried that they would be turned off by my pregnant belly, I wasn't any more. They seemed to love that I was pregnant! Today in the more crowded areas they all made sure that Lexine didn't get trampled and that big Brady cleared the path for me. I loved all of them so much.

The next day we visited the San Francisco Zoo and admired the animals. Lexine went nuts for the penguins and I fell in love with the Emperor Tamarind and their outlandish long white mustaches. We finished up the day walking along the beach where Preston found a sand dollar for Lexine. After a low key dinner at a local restaurant we went back to the hotel to sleep. Japantown and Chinatown were on our agenda for the next day. Chinatown and the various shops there were facinating and we had the most amazing lunch with plenty of Dim Sum. We were stuffed to the gills so we did plenty of walking around. Japantown was wonderful and we explored the gift shops where Lexine became intrigued with the art of Oragami. We bought her a few starter kits to keep her entertained for the plane ride home. The garden was beautiful, even in the winter. A light dinner at Benihana's was the perfect end to the day. The little wooden boats that floated on by with sushi added nicely to the ambiance. The guys were impressed by Lexine's chopstick skills at her young age. Brady had the worst time with them but he gamely tried his best. I rewarded him for his effort that night in bed. He promised to work on his chopstick skills more if he got this kind of spectacular loving in the end. It made me laugh. Brady too was so in love with my baby bump that he had his hand on it all night long.

Our last day there was fun. We took Lexine ice skating at an outdoor rink that they had set up in Union Square. At least the guys did. Since I wasn't a very good skater, Chase cautioned me against it and I had no problem agreeing with him. I sipped hot chocolate and sat with him on a bench to watch our family skate around and teach Lexine how to balance better. After lunch we just walked around the shopping district admiring all of the holiday décor and displays. They gave Lexine a handful of coins every time that she saw a Santa ringing a bell for donations. At dinner, we savored our last night on the west coast and packed our things to go in the hotel rooms. Instead of hauling all of our gifts and stuffing our luggage with them, the hotel had a service that packed and then shipped boxes back to our house. Preston made all the arrangements with them and I had to admit that it was easier that way.

In the morning, we got up and took our rental cars back to the airport. We ate breakfast there and then waited for our flight. The guys were right, Lexine was a born traveler and did very well for the flight back home. She kept herself entertained with the origami kit and watching television with a headset on. Chase made sure to be close to me and reminded me to get up every so often to stretch my legs. I also stayed hydrated with plenty of water and the flight back seemed shorter than the flight there for some reason. Probably because I had less to worry about this time and I had everyone with me. The plane landed so we headed to luggage claim. Our family SUV was in the long term parking lot of the airport and we all piled in with Brady driving us. A short while later a familiar gate appeared before us. My heart lifted when our house came into sight. Lexine pointed and said the word that I was thinking of, "Home!" We were home.
