Despite how excited she was for this baby, how thrilled she had been when Sunny was excited for her and Seb, she was still terrified to tell him. She was starting to show, her child kicking more and more every day but the father of her baby was still in the dark about it. Ivy put on a pink and black dress, the one that she could wear that didn't completely show off her belly and decided that it would finally be the day. She had to tell him. Ivy slipped on her heels and left her room. Sunny was off having a lovely day, and she had been on the phone with a real state agent for most of the morning. Sunny was all for getting a home with her, somewhere they could all raise the baby together and she wanted Sebby to be part of it.

At the very least he had to know that she was going to have his child on the 16th of April and if he wanted to be part of the child's life, then she would allow it. As much or as little as he wanted, but she had to know. There had to be some sort of stability for the baby, she didn't want Seb to agree to be a father, and then back out once the child grew attached to his or her father. She grew up with a father who was barely there, and then when he finally reached out to Ivy it was so he could get something from her. She couldn't allow anyone to do that to her child.

Once she entered into the clearing that she knew he loved the most, Ivy took a moment to appreciate how handsome Seb was. He was such a good friend to her, ever since they got to Aridorn. When they first met and entered into this relationship with Sunny, she never expected it to turn into this. She never thought that she would end up pregnant by either of them, but here she was. Five months along and ready to explain to Seb why she waited so long.
"Hey there, handsome."

wearing!

Seb was positively handsome, it was no wonder she cared for him as much as she did. The three of them together, it was positively perfect. When she could just spend her time with Sunny and Sebby, she was at her happiest. She knew that if all of this went well, her child would be the happiest alive.
"I've been trying to find you, my love." She smiled and moved into his arms. She gave him a tight hug and kissed his neck.

"I should have known you were somewhere beautiful." As she glanced around, she knew exactly where they were standing. It was one of the first few nights of the professors living at Aridorn, and she met Seb. They went out to this clearing, watched the stars and had sex. It wasn't the encounter that lead to the predicament under her dress. That was when they were in his cabin in California. When he took her for hours, they had some pure chemistry between them, but that could also be the hormones talking.

"How are you, my love?" She asked with a smile, brushing some of his curly blond hair behind his ear. She hoped that he would react like how Sunny did to the pregnancy, but a part of her still worried about it. She wanted this baby to have as much love as possible. Ivy wanted nothing more for her child than that. A happy home, good friendships and a loved child. The rest could fall into place as it needed to.

He was such a charmer. If anyone else spoke to her the way that Sebby did, she might assume that they were just trying to get her into bed, or in this case, into the grass. It was just who he was. He always found the positive in all things, he found the happiness and the light. It was the best thing ever and she knew that she was spoiled rotten for men from her two loves. Sebby and Sunshine were perfect happiness. They were just as content rolling around in bed with her, as they were getting icecream cones and watching the clouds roll in. If she had to carry anyone's child, she was proud that it was one of theirs. That he would be the one to pass along his genes to a perfect baby because of all of the people in the world who should never become parents, Seb was one of the ones who should.

"I actually have something to tell you, my love." She tried to gather up all of her courage, but it was rather difficult. Trying to form into words what had tumbled out in a hysterical mess to Sunshine was not going to work this time. She could just hope that Sebby would be as happy as Sunny was about it. That he would give her the same wide smile and absolute joy just from the thought of creating a life with her. The one that kicked her kidneys now in joint excitement for being around the man who helped create her.

"It's something kinda big, so I think I'm just going to come right out with it. Seb. I'm pregnant with your baby." She couldn't believe how natural the words came out. How almost easy it was to say. She had told herself over and over again that she would sputter or stutter out the words, but there they were, just hanging between them in their special place. The clearing just off the view of the school would either continue to be the special place in their bond, where they came together, where they discussed their child, or it would be forever marred by his reaction to the news. If it was good or bad, she would still have this child. While she would prefer to have Seb around to know the baby he helped create, his presence wasn't completely needed. He didn't owe her anything except the friendship they had, and if that meant he would be around to watch his child grow up as a father, a uncle, a family friend or a stranger. It was all up to him.

She didn't know what made her doubt her boys when she first discovered she was pregnant, but she knew it was silly now. To expect her wonderful duo to react with anything less than absolute happiness would have just been not in their nature. They were too happy, too perfect to be brought down by something as good as having a child. When the tears started to flood his eyes, she knew it was out of happiness for the life, not sadness over whatever it would take away from him. Ivy felt her own tears swell up, mostly out of pure happiness that everything was going to work out between them. That Seb seemed happy about this, that he wanted something to do with the baby.

"You can't imagine how good it is to hear that you're happy about this, Sebastian." She placed her hand over his on her cheek and felt the widest smile tug at her lips. She had been worried for nothing, she should have known better than to doubt her loves. They were good men, they were everything she could have wanted for her life.

When he dropped to his knees and stared at her stomach, Ivy felt a mixture of a cry and a laugh pull at her throat, she was so happy. Their Mango. Appropriate. She smiled and took advantage of their blocked location in the forest and lifted her dress to expose her five months pregnant stomach.
"I'm due in April." Back home that would have meant when all of the flowers were coming back into bloom. It would have meant green lawns and beautiful flowers. New Zealand was plenty green, but it was the beginning of their autumn season. Either way, she was just happy to have her Mango. Their child.

"I love you Sebby." She loved both of her boys, just like she loved everyone but from this moment on, he would have to have a special place in her heart. Without him, this would never have happened.

They would have a family together, a family made of love and unbreakable bonds forever. They would be able to have everything that they needed together, because they were together. They would have a garden in the front filled with beautiful flowers that Sunny grew for them. They would have a work place for Seb to work on his masterwork pieces. A library for Ivy to get lost in, and all in the middle of it would be their beautiful baby. A child that would have a little bit of all of them. A child that would be cherished and loved by all three of them because there was no way else for them to be. There was so much love between the three of them that it couldn't be contained to anyone or anything, but she knew that her boys would dote on the small child more than anything else in the world. The baby would never need anything. Not when Seb and Sunny were around. The child wasn't even there yet and she knew that without a doubt in her mind.

Sunny had been all for them having a home together, someplace where they could all come back to. She knew that Sebby would want to keep his cabin in the states, but with the baby, she would want somewhere outside of the school to live. Raising a child in Aridorn seemed less than appealing, despite Aridorn being the place where her love for the two men in her life began. The woods where she stood was the very same place that she came with Sebby that first night. The place where she got to know both of them and got to fall in love with them.

Ivy melted into his kiss a bit, never knowing how much she needed that kiss to remind her that he was in this with her. That no matter what, he would be a father to their child because he always was there for her. He would do anything for her, and she knew that he would always do everything for her. Being there for his son or daughter would just be the same.
"I was thinking about not finding out the sex until he or she is born, are you okay with that?" The whole pregnancy had been a surprise, she figured that they could use another surprise. She didn't care if she was carrying a boy or a girl, she just wanted a healthy child.

"Of course, my love." She smiled and knew that he would make the most beautiful bassinet and crib for their baby.
"Something with pretty flowers on it?" She knew that he was skilled at carving delicate designs into wood. She wanted to include Sunny in as much of the child as possible, since he would always be part of their relationship as long as he wanted to. If the baby had ended up being Sunny's, she would do the same thing for Seb. Both of them men meant the world to her, and she didn't want jealousy to come into their brilliant arrangement.

"I can't tell you how happy I am that you're excited about this. That you want to be in the baby's life."

All of this was so surreal. She was really with the man who created a baby with her, and he wanted to be there. She knew that Sunny was excited about having a child around, but she was worried about Seb. They were both go with the flow types, they both had loving personalities who just thrived on love. She should have known that they would thrive more on having someone new to love and dote on.
"It would be beautiful." She couldn't wait to see what a baby made from them would look like. With shining and beautiful blonde hair, big green eyes and a perfect smile.

"Whatever you make, our baby will love it." Their baby. A baby made from all of the best parts of each of them. With the three best parents in the world, they would be able to give their Mango everything that ze would ever want.

"I've been thinking Solstice for a girl." She was sure that the baby would be a girl. Shining blonde hair in pigtails and dresses covered in grass stains.
"Sunny mentioned maybe Sage for a boy."

Ivy hoped that he would be okay that she talked to Sunny about the baby before him. She had to steady her nerves and make sure that they would be able to have a life for the little baby. Sunshine, Ivy and Sebby would be a wonderful family and she just hoped that he would agree to move in with them and have this big family together. She loved being pregnant so far, and knew that being a mother would just be so much more amazing.

"What do you think?" Would the baby have her name or his? She wanted whatever would make Seb the most comfortable.
