Do you want grandbabies or not??

We took a little trip to the beach this weekend only to find out we were to be sharing the room with my husband's 20 year old brother...not exactly the ultimate situation.

11pm Friday: FIL says to me (as I was going to bed and dh was brushing his teeth in the bathroom)- You don't mind if Mike sleeps in the other bed in your room right?
Me: um, no I guess not. (what am I going to say!?, Hello, do you want grandbabies or not?? This night could make the difference!)
FIL: welll, he just went out with friends for a few hours but I'm sure he will be quiet when he comes in. (This is the difference between 20 and 30, 20- wouldn't even think of going to bed at 11pm on a Friday night, especially at the beach, 30- hello people, when need to get the baby making going so we can be asleep by midnight!)
Me: ok, no problem.
11:15 DH comes into the room and I tell him.
DH: what the f*ck! Thanks for the advance warning...but can't really say that to his dad.

So we know we should have a couple hours unless they realize they are not 21 yet and there is nothing to do...we go to lock the door and realize the lock is broken and so is the latch- so the door could just swing open (especially if someone opens the patio door and creates a breeze). Fortunately for us there is a small chair in the room and we prop it against the door. My in-laws have gone to their room so we feel pretty safe about the situation. We get to business and are long asleep when my brother in law comes in (um, at 3:30am).

Side story: It will be funny if I actually do end up pregnant this time. On our wedding night we had an after party in our suite, mostly friends plus Mike. Mike is 12 years younger than my husband. After too many drinks we told him to lay down on the sofa b/c we didn't need him roaming around the halls underage and drunk. Well around 3 am we left the party and went in to the bedroom of the suite. The next morning I said to dh, I bet Mike is still passed out on the sofa. He said no way b/c their parents had paid for Mike to have his own room. I walk into the other room, and yes Mike was still on the sofa. So there is a running joke about Mike staying with us on our wedding night. So you know he might as well have been there on the night we conceive our child. I wonder if it happens if anyone will figure out the timing?

The next day at the beach dh decides he does not want Mike in our room again...something with the over a decade age difference and not wanting to be woken up at 3 am when he comes in. So, dh decides he is going to be honest w/his dad and tell him we are ttc (tho I'm sure he didn't say "TTC") and it had not been going well, wearing on both of our emotions and how we would like some privacy (in a beach condo filled with people?!). Well, dh tells his dad not to tell me he knows and not to tell anyone (which I know he never would, we tell him pretty much everything because he is the opposite of gossip!) So all Sat. afternoon my FIL is thinking of places Mike can go sleep, other family members are at the beach and he could go sleep there and so on. He decides we will take the mattress out off the twin bed in our room and put it on the floor in the living room. Problem solved. Until Mike had a fit...um, because he is 20 and by no means wants to be told what to do. But my FIL makes him sleep in the living room. Around midnight we go to go to bed...when my FIL and MIL decide to watch old home moves...the film strip kind...on the wall outside our bedroom...so they are sitting two feet from our non-locking door. HELLO??! So we watch a couple with them and then announce loudly we are going to bed. Then it must of clicked with my FIL and he packed up the movies and they went to bed too. All too funny...but I guess he does want grandbabies:)
