It had been a week and Eric and Calleigh were back at his parent's house . This time all Clorinda had talked about was all the baby stuff she had gotten together for them in the attic. There was a tradition in his family to pass each child's baby stuff onto them when they had their first child .

After dinner everyone trooped upstairs to the attic to look through Eric's baby stuff . There was a gorgeous wooden toy box filled with old toys , and boxes upon boxes of clothes and bedding. Calleigh sat down on the ground and pulled a box towards her . It had been labeled years ago , but now the words were faded , and there was no telling what was inside . Carefully as not to break anything she opened the box and peered inside . There were at least 30 books in there , and across the room Pavel cleared his throat and pointed towards a wooden bookshelf painted white .

"The toy box , and the book shelf match. Those books sat on there for 10 years while Eric was growing up . Too bad he never read any of them ."

Calleigh smiled and looked over at Eric who groaned , but caught Calleigh's eyes and smiled back .

Clorinda insisted that they take it all and sort through it when they got home . Eric knew that he would never win an argument with his mother when she was dead set on something so he lifted the first of the boxes and started taking them out to the car .

As soon as Calleigh went to lift a box , Eric appeared and took it out of her hands and walked down the stairs . Calleigh shot him a glare until Clorinda rested a hand on her arm and smiled .

"Let the men carry the boxes while we supervise from the living room. " She laughed and started off towards the stairs .

Calleigh rolled her eyes but laughed and followed her down the stairs towards the living room . Over tea , Calleigh learned about Eric as a baby and even saw a few photo albums full of baby pictures.

Somehow they managed to get everything into their car and survive the drive home. So , Calleigh and Eric sat in the guest room at 9:00 at night , sifting through all of the various boxes of baby stuff. So far they had managed to sort it out into boy stuff and girl stuff. Calleigh was folding the clothes and putting them into the dresser , while Eric was opening the packages of toys , and then putting them into the toy box Clorinda had given them .

"This is a little overwhelming . " Calleigh said with a faint smile .

"What is ? " Eric put down the toy and moved to sit next to her.

"Just .. everything. I just found out today , and it seems like everything is happening so fast."

Eric leaned over and pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead. "It'll be a little overwhelming for a while , then you'll get used to being pregnant and the baby will show up and shake everything up. "

She looked up at him and had to laugh. "What was that ? You're pre-game talks are starting to slack a little bit on the pep . "

Eric pushed some of her hair out of her face and smiled . " I made you laugh didn't I ?"

She rolled her eyes and moved to sort some of the clothes still in her pile . Somehow there were more clothes than toys and she was still folding while Eric sat in the rocking chair, completely finished. Then again all he had to do was throw toys in a toy box .

" I hate when you're right . " She leaned up to kiss him and then got back to work .

He smiled . " No Problem . "

A few minutes passed and Calleigh had finished most of the clothes in her pile , but having Eric sit around and watch was starting to get annoying .

"If you're just going to sit there , start assembling some of this furniture . "

He groaned . "Why are we doing this now ? It's not like we'll need it for another 8 months . "

"Because, as soon everything is sorted and we think we're ready, we'll can get shoved off track again and have to start over."

Eric raised his eyebrows and tried not to laugh . " Okay. Well , how about we do a little bit at a time , that way we don't get ahead of ourselves thinking it's a boy or it's a girl , and end up totally wrong . "

She sighed and folded the last shirt . Sitting it in the dresser she stood up . "You just want to get out of assembling furniture ."

"Not get out of per se , just put off until we know what we're going to need . We don't want to open everything and have it ready just to find out we don't need it . "

"Sure , sure . " She joked , but she had to admit that it made sense. She pulled him into a hug and rested her head on his shoulder . " Do you think we're ready for this ?"

"If not emotionally , we sure are materially . "

Calleigh laughed and ran her fingers through her hair . " I guess time will tell . "
