Though I plan on trying to write while I am in the hospital, so when I return I should have at least one chapter, maybe two. =) so enjoy.

The Residence of Harmony Rabb and Michael Roberts
Falls Church, Virginia
Mike lay along side Harmony in bed she was about five and half months into her pregnancy. "I got a book to read to the baby." Mike smiled.
"Another one? Which one is this?" She asked.
"Everyone Poops!" Mike replied.
"What? You're kidding? That's not a book Michael!"
"It is too!" He pulled it out and showed her.
"Why would someone write that?" She asked.
"I dunno, but it looked good." Mike replied opening up to the first page he leaned close to her belly and started to read. "An Elephant makes a big poop. A mouse makes a tiny poop." He showed Harmony the pictures.
"Great there are pictures of crap in a children's book! Actually there is a children's book a about crap!"
"Shhh, I am reading to the baby." He hissed.
"A one hump camel makes a one hump poop." Mike read. "A two hump camel makes a two hump poop."
Harmony made a face.
"Only kidding." Mike read. "Fish poop and so do bird and bugs too."
"What the hell!" Harmony mused. This was seriously one messed up book. "Whatever happened to The Three Little Pigs, or Red Riding Hood?"
"I like this one better." Mike told her.
"If you ask me it's kind of shitty."
Mike stuck his tongue out at her pun. "Now let me finish reading to Jett Carson or Madison." Mike replied. If they were going to have a boy his name was going to be Jett Carson Roberts, a little girl it was going to be Madison.
"Go on, sorry I bothered you." Harmony mused.
"Different animals make different kinds of poop. Different shapes, different colors, even different smells." He turned the page and there was an illustration of a snake. "Which end is the snakes behind?" Mike smiled as he again turned the page continuing the story. "What does whale poop look like?"
Harmony couldn't wait for Mike to finish reading this story.
"Some stop to poop, others do it on the move."
"That's disgusting!" Harmony protested.
"Some poop here and there. Others do it in a special place. Grown-ups poop. Children poop too." Mike ignored Harmony. "While some children poop on the potty others do it in their diapers."
"They left out some adults too, there are adults who wear diapers you know?" Harmony smirked.
"Can I read the rest of this story to our kid?" Mike asked. "Thank you!" Mike retorted. "Some animals poop and pay no attention. Others clean up after themselves." He pointed to a picture of a cat. "See it's a kitty and he's cleaning up after himself."
"Pretty sure the baby can't see through my belly Mike." Harmony informed him.
"These poop by the water, this one poops in the water." There was a picture of an alligator. "He wipes himself with paper then flushes it down." Mike turned the page, "All living things eat, so…" he turned to the last page, "everyone poops."
"Thank god it's over." Harmony mused. "What a stupid book."
"They also have The Gas We Pass: The Story Of Farts." Mike smiled.
"NO!" Harmony pointed her finger at him. "Absolutely not!"
"Aw come on, her or she will like it." Mike put the book to the side and kissed her belly.
"Lets try something a little more traditional next time." Harmony mused.
"You read the baby Twilight." He argued.
"Only because I was reading it at the same time." Harmony shrugged.
"Well too bad because I plan on buying the rest of the series." Mike nodded a bit and adjusted himself, and then kissed her cheek.
"Lucky me." She smirked and kissed him softly. "I love you so much, you know that right?"
"I know, and you have no idea how much I love you." He winked and then kissed her belly. "Daddy loves you too. So anyways are you still going out with your mom and Harriet tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I am going to register for the baby shower and do a few other things with them. Like a mani and a pedi" She winked.
"What are your plans?" Harmony asked.
"Watch the game with Bud." He nodded.
"Oh yeah the Army Navy game is tomorrow. That's right." She started to smile. "You know we find out the sex on Monday."
"Then I can get started on the nursery." He was smiling too. "I can't wait."
"Me either." She rested against the headboard. "Before you know it he or she will be here and we'll be parents."
"We will and I can't wait. I am so excited." Mike smiled. "I can't wait to be a dad."
"You're gunna be great dad." She rested her head on his shoulder. "I have no doubt." Harmony replied. "I know when I was pregnant the first time you were a bit unsure, but there is no need to be, because you'll be an amazing father."
He smiled a bit. "Thank you, but honestly you're going to be an even more amazing mother."
She kissed him once more. "We should go to bed, ok. It's real late."
Mike nodded. Turning the light off on his nightstand Mike leaned in and kissed Harmony on the lips. "Goodnight beautiful."
She returned the kiss. "Good night handsome." Harmony too turned her light off and pulled the blankets up around her.

The Baby Super Store
Tysons Corner, Virginia
"So Mike bought the baby another book yesterday and read it to him or her." Harmony browsed through the store with a handheld computer, scanning items she was interested in."
"He did? What book?" Harriet pondered.
"Everyone Poops." Harmony mused.
Mac started to laugh. "Are you serious?"
"I've read that to my kids." Harriet replied. "It's cute."
"Frankly it scared me. He wants to get The Gas We Pass or something like that."
"I'll give him my copy." Harriet smiled.
Harmony wasn't surprised Harriet had a copy. "I will tell him."
"I think it's great you are already reading to the baby." Mac pushed some hair behind her ears, following her daughter.
"I also have classical music on my iPhone that I play for it." Harmony scanned some bottles.
"You're bottle feeding?" Harriet asked.
"Heck yeah. When I was a kid I was traumatized by a woman breastfeeding. I was six, and my dad was taking me to the zoo, I wanted to ride the train so we did. There was this lady sitting across from me who had a baby, it started to cry. So obviously she started to feed it. Now this was the first time I had really seen a boob, trauma number too, trauma number two when she adjusted the baby and some of the titty milk squirted out. Freaked me out. Also with breastfeeding you have to feed them more often, I don't have time."
Mac laughed a little. "I am sorry Harmony."
"I spent the rest of the day asking my dad what was going on, poor guy had no idea what to do."
Harriet was still laughing at the story.
"It's not funny, I was six, boob weren't suppose to be super soakers." Harmony replied.
"Sorry I will stop laughing now." Harriet grinned.
Harmony scanned a few 'fancy bottles' and moved on.
"So are you excited about Monday?" Mac followed Harmony down the aisle of baby toys.
"I can't wait, I can't wait to know what I am having." Harmony smiled.
"Have you thought of a middle name to go with Madison?" Mac knew Harmony and Mike had been struggling finding the perfect one.
"Right now it's between Sage, Hope, Olivia, and Grace." She scanned a few educational toys.
"Oh I like Olivia." Harriet smiled.
"Yeah we are leaning more towards that one. If we are having a girl, we will choose the middle name the day of her birth."
"Your father loves the boys' name." Mac mused.
"I figured he would." Harmony scanned some stuffed animals.
"It's a very different name and so perfect for you and Mike." Harriet smiled. "Look at this." She pointed out a bear which mimics the mothers heartbeat in the womb."
"That's awesome." Harmony quickly scanned it. "Ok I think I am done, we've been here for almost two hours. Me and the baby are hungry and my feet are killing me." Harmony mused.
"I am pretty hungry myself, lets go get lunch and then fun time." Harriet grinned rubbing her hands together.

Harmony smiled at her plate of egg foo young. There were four patties in front of her. Reaching for the soy sauce she covered them in it.
"There is no doubt you are pregnant." Mac laughed. "There is so much food there."
"And I will eat it, trust me." Harmony grinned and started to dig into the meal.
"So Little AJ got accepted into the science honors program." Harriet proudly smiled. "Once a week he gets to go to the high school and take special science classes."
"That's awesome Harriet, he's just like his daddy." Mac grinned.
"Yeah and they are going to build a robot and enter it in some robot wars or something."
"That's so cool. Tell him his aunt Harmony is proud." She grinned.
"I will." Harriet cut up her egg roll. "Jimmy wants to tryout for the swim team, he's been bugging us so Bud and I finally caved in, and the twins will be starting pre-school before you know it."
"There goes my childhood, I now feel old." Harmony mused laughing a little. "I still remember the first time you let me hold Little AJ, he was a few weeks old, and he grabbed on to my hand and held on so tight. "He was so cute, he still is, but he was so tiny and adorable then."
Harriet grinned. "I miss when all of my babies were babies. It's why I can't wait for yours. I have someone to spoil again." Harriet laughed. "That's the best age, trust me Harmony so much happens and they're so perfect then."
Harmony smiled. "Honestly I have never been so excited for this, Mike is even more excited. He's so adorable he's already planned for the kid to go to Annapolis like his mother and father. If it's a boy he's going to play football or baseball, if it's a girl gymnastics or figure skating. He's got so much planned. Flight lessons no matter what sex the baby is; it's so great to see him like this." Harmony told Harriet and her mother. "He does just about everything for me, he makes dinner, breakfast, the dishes, the laundry. He just wants me to rest. I love this man so much."
Harriet smiled. "You know after you and his first date he came over to our house and told Bud you were the one. That he had no doubt you were going to be the girl he was going to marry."
"Really?" Harmony asked Harriet.
"Really. He spent the whole night just talking about how amazing you were and he was already planning your life together."
"I had no idea, he never told me." Harmony took a bite of her egg foo young and then some rice.
"Bud and I knew for sure when one day he came over and had your engagement ring and said he finally had the courage to ask you. He wanted to long before that, but first he wanted you to get better and secondly he was still going through that strange school boy crush where he could speak or say the words."
"Awwwwww, he's so precious. Aw, I love him." Harmony started to cry. "Isn't my husband awesome."
Mac laughed at Harmony and her hormones. "He is very awesome Harmony yes."
Harmony continued to cry as she shoveled large amounts of food into her face. "I have bestest husband ever. Super duper, and sexy. I love Michael Roberts." She smiled and the tears slowly began to fade.
"JAGATHON is next month isn't it?" Harriet asked. She was glad that it was still going on.
Harmony nodded. "I am obviously not going to be running, I am going to help at the registration table, but next year watch out; I will be back." She grinned.
"Your dad is still upset you beat him last year." Mac laughed.
"I've been running with my dad since I was 13-years-old, he had to know that one day down the road I was going to beat him, he's only getting older. I mean so am I, but I am still younger than him." She grinned. "He'll get his shot at glory this year, though I hear Tiner has been training real hard; so who knows."

"My feet feel amazing." Harmony mused as she flopped down on the couch. "Best foot message in a while, they found all the right spots, and my ankles. I got the whole works, and my mom paid for all of it."
Mike pulled her into his arms, cuddling with her. "I am glad you had a good time." He kissed her cheek.
"So Harriet told me an interesting story, actually it was really cute."
"She did?" Mike asked.
"She did, about our first official date, and how you knew right then and there you loved me."
His cheeks turned beet red. "It's true." He confessed. "I knew that night all I wanted to do was spend the rest of my life with you. If I was going to grow old and possibly miserable I wanted to do it with you."
Harmony smiled. "Well lets hope we don't have to deal with the miserable part." She placed his lips on his.
"Those feelings haven't changed. "I still want you by my side the rest of my life forever and for always. Nothing will ever make me stop loving you."
"And I will never stop loving you, and if I can't grow old with you, then I don't want to grow old at all. I want us to be the crazy old couple in the nursing home whom after 50 years of marriage, we still act like kids." Harmony cupped his face and kissed her husband passionately.
"You have nothing to worry about Harmony Rabb-Roberts because I will be with you forever and ever."
