One Month Later.
"Put your pants on! We're home and have news!" Eve yelled as she and Michael came through the front door.
I jumped off the couch and bounded to the foyer before they could even move. I stopped in front of them and looked for any clues and saw none. I gave up trying to figure up and asked.
"What is it? What is it? What are you having?" I squealed.
"It's a…" Eve started.
"Come on! Tell me already!" I said and shook her shoulders.
"It's a boy!" she yelled.
"Yay!" I squealed. "Now, more importantly, do you have a name picked out?"
"Yup. Jace Michael Glass." Michael beamed.
"Hey!" Shane yelled coming up behind me. "That's the name we had picked out! You stole it!"
"I thought of it!" Eve argued back.
"True" I said. "Okay, so I have been thinking about this for awhile, what rooms are we going to use for the babies room?"
We all thought for a moment and then Michael spoke up, "Well, since Mir mostly lives with Jen, and she turned the secret room is her room. How about you guys take Shane's old room since it'll be easier to paint a light color like pink or purple over the paint and we take Eve's old room?"
"That's good," I said and turned to Shane. "How about you and Michael go start cleaning the rooms and Eve and I will shop for baby stuff online?"
Shane nodded and gave me a quick kiss. "Okay. Hey, Mikey? Where will we put the stuff from the rooms?"
"In the attic or basement." Michael said and gave Eve a kiss.
The guys bounded up the stairs and left Eve and I alone. I walked back to the living room and grabbed my laptop of the coffee table and went back out to the hallway. Eve was coming out of the kitchen with two Cokes and a jar of pickles. We had both started liking those. I motioned her to follow me and we headed upstairs to my room.
We were passing Shane's old room when Michael laughed and said, "Really, Shane?"
I poked my head in to see what was going on. "What's going on?"
"Nothing." Shane said and gave me a quick kiss and shut the door.
"Asshole." I mumbled.
"Heard that!" Shane called.
"Good!" I yelled back and walked to my room. I pushed open the door, walked over to the bed, and sat down legs criss-crossed. Eve came in and shut the door and sat beside me. "Okay, so where's the best place to shop for baby stuff?"
"Burlington or Target." Eve said immediately.
"Okay," I said and opened two tabs on my browser. On one I typed in on the other I typed in . I messed around on both sites til I got the baby catalog. "Do you know what kind of theme you're gonna do, Eve?"
"Sock Monkeys." she said.
"Really? Sock Monkeys?" I asked.
"Yup. Here let me see the laptop." she said and took the laptop from me. She logged in on the Burlington website, putting in her email and password. When the page finished loading a list came up with four hundred items of baby stuff on it. "See, I had everything planned out. I made two profiles one for a girl, in Michael's name, and the other for a boy, in my name. Everything on this list is everything I want from the furniture to the clothes to the bouncers and swings. All I have to do is press check out, fill out the ordering information and everything will be here in a week."
"Wow," I said surprised. "Wish I would of thought of that. Tell me what you got."
"Well," Eve started. "The crib, rocking chair, changing table, dresser, and hangers are all a dark brown color. All his clothes or most of them, have sock monkeys on them. His blanket, crib set, sheets mobile, bouncer, swing, high chair, pack and play, diaper bag, car seat, and stroller are dark brown and tan with sock monkeys on them. I ordered several stuffed sock monkeys in several sizes to put around the room. And then we just have to got get paint, hardwood flooring, and trim from the hardware store in town."
"What color are you painting the room?" I asked, I was fascinated at how prepared Eve was compared to me.
"Well, I want to paint the walls tan but we'll have to paint them white first since the walls are black. The trim will be dark brown and so will be the hard wood flooring. I also want his name painted on the door in red script. And I swear to God, I will be so mad if this town goes to war again and my baby boy's room gets messed up, I will flip the hell out."
"Okay. So now that you have everything planned out, how about we work on Carrie's room?" I asked.
Eve beamed. "Sure. Just let me fill out this ordering from and I'll be set." She quickly filled out the form and pressed accept. "Alright, let's do this."
Two hours, two jars of pickles, and four Cokes later we were done. In the end we had finally decided on the light purple and dark purple owl theme. We had ordered a white crib, rocking chair, changing table, dresser, and hangers. We also had ordered the owl cribs set, blankets, sheets, clothes, diaper bag, swing, bouncer, mobile, high chair, stroller, car seat. Everything we ordered that didn't have an owl on it was either dark purple, light purple, or white. We decided on painting two walls light purple and on dark with white trim and tan hardwood flooring and that her name would be written on the door in mint green script.
"Here Claire," Eve said and handed me the laptop. "Fill out the ordering information."
I took the laptop and filled out the information and clicked done, then shut the laptop. "Come on, let's go see if the guys are done."
We climbed off the bed and walked down the hall. First we went to Shane's room which was spot less. Everything was gone, the floors had been swept, and the windows were clean. Next we to Eve's, which was too clean and spotless, except for Shane and Michael who were a sweaty, tired mess on the floor. I walked over to Shane and Eve went to Michael.
"Hey," I said, sat down in his lap and gave him a kiss. "Are ya done?"
"Yep. We just finished." he said.
"Good," Eve said happily "Now we just have five days, to paint, put down new flooring, and trim before the furniture and clothes come."
The groaned and fell backwards, the next couple of days would be very long for them.
