Santana is getting Carson ready for the day and going over what she has been trying to do everyday. That mommy is having another baby, that she will still love him and that it's exciting. There's a couple things she tells him just to reassure herself. 21 with 2 kids… still hasn't really set in. Carson can't decide if he wants it to be a girl or a boy. He says he doesn't want to have to share his toys (yeah clearly daycare isn't helping in that area) but he doesn't want to play with dolls either, so Santana is worried. She feels bad already bringing another baby when he is still one himself, ok fine so he's almost 3 but she still considers that a baby.

They have moved into their new place a month ago, her dad is fitting the bill for rent and after an hour long conversation with Finn, he finally gave in and let him do so. It's perfect, and Finn insist that one day they will officially own it. It has three bedrooms and brand new. It's in a new development in Lima, and close to everything. Finn has been working at a higher status at the shop, it has been going so well that Burt is opening another and leaving that one to Finn. Santana is still continuing to work the two days a week because she feels that every dollar helps, and the less they have to ask her parents for more the better. She still hasn't her parents credit card that they gave her in highschool, that does not have a limit, but for some reason it feels a lot better to pay for things on her own.

They both decided that they want to find out the sex of the baby, mainly to prepare Carson. They officially 'announced' it to everyone a while ago and they all are dying to know as well. She made her appointment for Friday, it's easier for Finn to leave early that day and there is no way she is finding out alone. They drop Carson off with her mom and head to the doctors and she feels like she is going to get sick. It's so exciting and frightening at the same time. Yeah she understands she is having a baby, the baby bump she has going on and the sickness never fails to remind her. But now it's going to be real. She is going to know if she has a daughter or son in her and makes it like official.

She can tell Finn is nervous too. His hands keep flexing and moving grips on the steering wheel and it's too quite. Finn this quite is when he is scared or upset. She has usually been the one needing the calming down or comforting so she decides he needs it now. He has been so perfect in working, taking care of her and Carson, helping with the morning sickness, cooking and getting everything in the house set. She decides that this weekend is going to be all about him. She reaches forward and puts her hand on his thigh and rubs it til he relaxes. "Either girl or boy, it has the best dad in the world." she says as he is turning into the hospital parking lot. His face lights up and he kisses her until she has to shove him off so they aren't late, yes she might have decided this will be a weekend devoted to him but that doesn't mean she isn't anxious as hell to know what they're having.

When they hear its a girl her smile is huge and Finn has one too but looks worried at the same time. The lady gives them some time alone. "Finn?" she's worried since he hasn't said anything. "I'm already worried about guys being all over her." she laughs because she actually doesn't expect anything else. "Well her big brother will be around to take care of that won't he?"

"Yeah I better start talking to him now about that."
"I think you can wait a couple years."
"She's going to look like you, I wouldn't be surprised if babies hit on her when she is in the nursery." he's dead serious as he is staring at the sonogram. She isn't going to tell him he's insane right now, just gets off the bed "I'm starved." she says standing in between his legs as he still sits in the chair running his fingers over the image of their daughter. He kisses her stomach then stands up and kisses her lips. "come on, let's get you girls something to eat." things he does like that makes her never know how she got this lucky.

"so how should we tell him?" she asks after she has ordered. They went to the Friendly's in the mall because she was craving chicken fingers and ice cream.
"maybe there is a book out there, lets look after here" he suggest with a smile and she doesn't know why she wants to cry at out cute he looks when he says it, probably hormones but he worries that he said the wrong thing and reaches his hand over and puts it on top of hers, she speaks before he asks anything. "I just love you."
"cause I thought of a book?" he asks teasing her, she just ignores it. "because no matter what comes are way, you always have an idea or a plan." he leans over the table and she meets him almost halfway, this bump is already getting in the way, and he kisses her soft and long. before she goes back to her seat he keeps her close and whispers "I always will make things ok for you, for all of us."
"I know." she says nodding and another tear falling from her eye, he wipes it away and she keeps his hand against her face with hers, because she just likes it there. and they stay like that til there food gets there.

"so we should probably go shopping, get some paint so I can start on the nursery right away." she shakes her head and he laughs at her. "Finn this weekend your going to take it easy." he gives her a weirded look. and she continues "Were going to watch movies, lay around and not worry about anything for 2 days ok?" he doesn't fight her on it, probably because he thinks if he just says yes that he will be able to sneak doing work, but little does he know, he isn't leaving her sight all weekend.

They stop by the bookstore on their way out. There really isn't a book on 'your scared to tell your baby boy that he is having a sister' so there going to have to buck up and do it themselves. Finn goes inside and gets Carson from her moms, she makes him swear not to tell her mom,no matter how bad that crazy latino woman tries. She's tired ok? so she doesn't feel like getting out of the car, and also seeing her mom she would like cry instantly like a loser saying she's having a daughter. They want Carson to be the first to know so they have to stick to their grounds.

"She pinched my butt." Finn says after he fastens Carson in his seat and climbs into his. He looks scared to death. "You didn't tell though, right?"
"I ran out of there as fast as I could." meanwhile Carson is chanting "Boy or girl, boy or girl!" yeah she can see what her mom was teaching him all day. "I came up with another idea though." he says as Santana is turned around and saying hi to him. "What is it?"
"You'll see."

She can see the tiniest bit of lollipop stickiness still left on Carsons face, can only imagine how much sugar her mom gave him. Carson is bouncing up and down and on a total sugar kick, so Finn pulling into the Toys-R-Us parking lot probably isn't the best plan right now. His face is lit up and he does a dance move, that she's pretty sure Finn can't even do.
"Seriously? You just want to spoil him instead of telling him?"
"No, you'll see."
"Fine, but if he throws a tantrum in the middle of the store I am walking right out." she's not kidding. She has a pounding headache, her feet hurt and she doesn't feel like dealing with a melt down right now, because she is betting he barely slept and is delirious too.

Finn doesn't even respond just turns off the car and gets Carson. He immediately reaches for Santana which she knows sometimes kills Finn, especially since this is his idea and everything so she painfully shakes her head, says her tummy hurts and gives him a bunch of kisses so he isn't mad at her. Finn smiles at her and takes her hand bringing them inside.

He leads them to the doll section, places Carson on the ground and tells him to pick out one for his new baby sister. She is scared how he is going to take it, but he seems to love the idea and spends 5 minutes trying to find the perfect one. It's the cutest thing in the world, Finn and her just watch him look at all of them and debate which he likes. Finns arms are around her from behind and resting on her stomach. Carson seems to find the one he likes and puts it to Santana's belly smiling and saying "here you go." and he is totally talking to the baby like Finn does.

She picks him up and kisses him to death and yeah he's totally getting a toy too. They find the toystory section, his new favorite, and he is looking for something in particular but won't tell them what. He asks Finn to pick him up and he picks out the Jessie toy (which he refused to have before) and says it's to share. She and Finn actually almost cry.

Santana sits in the back with him on the way home, tells him all about baby girls and shows him the sonogram. He seems excited and she kisses the back of Finn's neck as Carson is starting to drift off. "You really do make everything better, always." she says wrapping her arm around his neck from behind. He kisses her hand and nods, they both know that he always will.

He carries Carson inside, they both know this late nap is going to have him up later tonight but neither seem to mind. She finds Finn in the nearly empty nursery. "I told you were just relaxing this weekend."
"I know. I just can't wait for her to be in here. Thinking about how perfect I want it to be for her." He places the doll on the dresser they have already in there. She pulls him into their bedroom, he almost trips at first which she has to hide her laugh. "You can paint this weekend." she says pulling him on top of her. She goes to kiss him but he stops her.
"Wanna do it together?"
"No."
"Come on San, it'll be fun."
"My idea of fun now a days is laying on the couch or in bed."
"Then i'll do that with you this weekend." She forgot that she promised herself that this weekend is supposed to be about him, so of course she has to shake her head. "Wanna make a deal?" he shakes his head yes. "You do something with me right now…" she trails her voice and kisses his lips long, "And I'll paint with you tomorrow." she says a minute later. "Deal." he says is a whisper before his lips are back on hers.

She is woken up the next morning by Carson jumping on the bed. She keeps her eyes closed hoping Finn will get him, but then she remembers he already had to since he is out of his bed. He climbs to her face and pulls her eyes open. "Were going to go get pink!" he says and she laughs, pulls his pacifier out and kisses him goodmorning. "Where's daddy?"
"I'm right here." Finn says coming out of their closet in old pants and a tshirt. "Remember are deal." he says leaning over and kissing her. "I said I'd paint, I never said I'd buy it."
"Ok." he says and she can tell he doesn't care so she isn't getting out of bed. "Let's go Car." Finn says and they leave to go to home depot.

They get home a half hour later with paint cans and brushes, a smock for Carson to wear and he left out an old tshirt of his for her. She rolls her eyes and is dreading it, until she starts thinking about how it's her little girls room. Their little girl. She starts stroking her brush and thinking about all the things they are going to do together. How they are going to have to pick out a name soon to have painted on here. She gets lost in her thoughts, which surprisingly causes her to be like a good painter or something? Finn comes up behind her, kisses the side of her neck "And you thought this wouldn't be fun." Carson gave up after 10 minutes and is playing in his room so she doesn't hesitate to pull Finn around, kiss him with tongue and grind against him until he whimpers her name in pain. "I fucking love your ideas."
