Continuing "Next Generation"

"What a cool room! You have your own mini kitchen and everything; so sweet! I wish I had a room like that!" Michelle laughed as she wandered around the room while exploring the kitchen.

"Ask that 'Rod' for one" TL Rod laughed "I bet your house where you lived in sucked because your husband didn't had the enough-"

"I won't tell you how to please your wives and you won't tell me how to please mine" Rod interruped with a sigh

"Guys; let's stop arguing and let's all go get something to eat. Capice?" Michelle snapped sternly at the two men as she trudged out of the room with her swollen abdomen sticking out in the air as Jumba chuckled before turning to Rod. "You have your hands full with lovely wife, yes?"

"Kinda" Rod shrugged "And they will be more full when the baby arrives" he sighed as he also left the room

"He is just a stereotype of the third-world" TL Rod rolled his eyes

"Rod, darling..." Lee admonished him with an eye roll as she picked up Delma and Sonja before she marched out of the room with Rhonda as they headed off for the kitchen. "Be nice."

"Hi, Daddy," Meryl grinned as she walked over to her father with a smile as she hugged him.

"Hello, not so little Dumonde female. What brings you here to mercenary's room?" Jumba addressed Meryl earnestly.

"I have to tell Daddy something," Meryl sighed before she spun around to face her father. "Daddy, I think I might be pregnant.".

Rod then smiled as he hugged Meryl "Nice to know good news, princess" he chuckled "You'll have more pups, your mother would be pleased to know it"

"I just hope Mona and Desi take it well; I haven't borne children in a long time. Now I can feel my offspring growing in my gut," Meryl sighed as she rubbed her belly slightly before offering him a soft smile. "So what do you think of the newcomers?"

"I'll tell you when i get to know then in my own way, princess" TL Rod sighed as he left the roo, heading towads the kitchen for breakfast

Meryl then watched her father leave the room as she inhaled deeply with a sigh and soon stalked off towards Michael and Mona's room to wake them up.

Meanwhile, Mona was dozing in bed with Michael snuggling close to her when she heard a soft rapping at her door; this startled her into rising from her slumber and she cocked her head blearily in the door's direction; she was then surprised to see it open and her mother appeared on the doorway with a stern expression.

"Time to get up; we have breakfast waiting," she said as Mona yawned before stretching herself slightly as she got up from bed. "I'm up, Mama," she muttered as she wrapped a magenta robe around herself.

"I'm also up" Michael yawned as he got up and got himself dressed

Meryl then smiled as she leaned close to Michael and Mona while wrapping them in her arms and giving Michael a kiss on the forehead; they then ambled on downstairs as she leered at the two teenagers.

"I have some news for you both," the young mother said as Mona blinked at her quizzically. "What?"

"I might be pregnant," Meryl grinned widely as Mona gasped in shock. "You can't be serious! I don't think I'm ready to have another sibling at 14! Weren't Desi and I enough?"

'Stop it, Mona; I'll still love you and Desi just as much as your new sibling; the dynamics would be slightly different, that's all," Meryl scolded her firmly with a thin line as they reached the landing and went on into the corridor.

"YEah" Bobby smield as he approached the group and embracedMeryl "Besides, Desi wouldn't mind having a baby silbing" he chuckled

"He won't?" Mona chirped as she turned to her father.

"No" Bobby laughed

"Michael and I would like to have a baby someday," Mona giggled as Meryl eyed her suspiciously. "Really?"

"Yeah" Michael smiled

"We'll see about a baby," Meryl replied with a sly smile.

"We want a baby and we'll have one" Mchael crossed his arms

Meryl then chuckled softly with a knowing smile as they entered the kitchen and sat down with most of the team gathered around the table already. Doug and Julie were sitting across from them as Julie was leaning against the crook of Doug's neck, with his hand petting her long and dark brown hair. He then gazed up to smile at the gang. "Morning, Rod; I hope you are feeling better today," he said.

"I hope so too" TL Rod sighed

"Doug, Julie; I assume you both have relations last night?" Lee taunted the couple with a derisive eyebrow as Doug glowered at his ex-wife. "Do not start, Lee," he admonished her darkly as she smirked at him proudly while folding her hands on the table and Julie looked up at Doug with a blank expression. Meryl then sat down next to Bobby, Malcolm, Teagan and their twin girls as she looked over to face the gang. Rhonda then sighed as exhaled heavily and Phillippe cleared her throat before she and Julian exchanged glances. Igor then grinned at his family nervously while munching on some eggs and bacon.

"Sure, they had time for a baby, but not for me" TL Rod muttered under his breath

"So you did have sex with her, did you?" Lee cackled derisively as Doug scowled and would have flung himself right at her if Julie had not been holding him back. "I said don't mention it, Lee!"

"Dad, calm down!" Hope yelled as her face was etched with worry, pain and fear and she stood up to her feet as well. Michelle then glared at Lee with a frown while Lakota stuffed some pancakes down his throat with Kidda grimacing at her brother in disgust.

She then whipped her head around to sneer at Lee. "I swear to God that if you cause my father to have another heart attack I would rip your throat apart and kill you!"

"And they won't ick me" TL Rod muttered to himself

"You go to hell!" Lee sneered as Hope splashed some water on her dress and she stumbled out of the chair in horror before turning to glare at her furiously. "Why, you little..." she snarled as she was about to put her hands on Hope and choke her when Stephanie shot up from her chair with menacing and cold eyes as she yelled, "THAT IS ENOUGH!"

The entire congregation then fell silent as all eyes focused on the elderly Los Angeles native and the Forrester woman then sighed heavily before she sat down and continued eating.

"Now what's wrong, Rod? Are you still sad about not going to the zoo?" Julie frowned.

"Does it look like it, Julie?" Hope scowled sarcastically while gesturing towards TL Rod.
