"Teddy? Can I speak to you a second?" Stella whispered, pulling him aside.

"Of course!"

"You know the way we... you know... did it last week?"

Laurie narrowed his eyes. "Yes?"

"I'm pregnant and it's all your fault." Stella slapped her husbands chest.

"Ow- wait what?"

Stella nodded, before being swept off her feet and into the arms of her favourite dark haired man. (Don't tell Dennis)

"I'm going to be a father?" He whispered, his voice full of happiness.

"Yeah, you are." Stella laughed.

"We have to tell everyone."

"I hate you!" Stella screamed at Laurie, sweaty and crying.

"Love you too! It's all going to be okay, Elle. It's all going to be fine."

"I'm never having sex with you again! You're a total hedge creeper!" Stella exclaimed.

"Stella!" Marmee scolded.

"Oh my God!" Stella whispered, the baby small and resemblant to a potato.

"Come here!" Stella urged Teddy.

"You don't hate me anymore, huh?" He whispered.

"Never did." She grinned.

"Have you decided on a name yet?" Marmee asked the new parents.

"Elizabeth Louisa Laurence. Bess for short." Teddy said, and Stella looked at Beth with a small smile on her face.

"I can't believe you wrote a book about us!" Amy laughed excitedly.

"Jesus, Meg how did you do this with two of these potatoes?" Jo handed her niece back to the mother.

"I can't believe she left me the house!" Stella exclaimed, referring to her recently deceased aunt. "I thought she hated me!"

"She could hate you but still leave you the house." Jo suggested.

"What about you and John?" Stella looked to Meg.

"No, I don't need a grand estate." Meg laughed.

"Amy? What about you and Dennis?"

Amy shook her head. Stella looked at Beth, but she quickly turned it down.

"Right then. I want to do something that will make Aunt March turn in her grave."

"I wouldn't mind it." Meg giggled.

Stella looked at her daughter. "What do you- a school!"

Stella looked at Jo excitedly, then she exclaimed again, "A school!"

"A school?" Meg asked.

"Yes! I'd like to open a school! We never had a proper school and now there are women's colleges opening- there should be a school! For Bess, and for Daisy."

"And what will Demi do?"

"I'll open a school for girls and boys both."

Dear Beth,

I'm so glad you're having fun at music school! You'll have to tell me more about this fellow you met, you can't just leave me hanging.

I can't wait for your return, Bess misses her aunt.

With love,

Stels.
