CHAPTER 10

On the way home, Danny and Ethan talked about their future with the baby. They'd accepted the fact that they were expecting, but seeing it in writing confirmed the story even more. They didn't so much care the sex of the baby, just as long as it was healthy. Ethan reached for Danny's hand.

"I can't wait to meet our little one," he said.

"I know, me too. It's crazy, I'm only three weeks and I feel like it's been forever."

Ethan parked the car in the garage as they walked inside the house. Outside, the guys were putting the finishing touches on the bassinet. Danny walked into the kitchen to find Stiles, Erica, and Malia centered around the table with their laptops open.

"Any luck guys," Danny asked.

"Not even a nibble," Erica replied.

"Keep up the search; I'm sure you'll find something."

With that, Danny went upstairs to check on the girls. They had chosen the second room just down the hall from Danny and Ethan's bedroom. Before hand, the room was used as a storage room, until now that is. Danny walked inside; her mouth dropping to the floor. The girls had cleaned every inch of the room and the closet; you could even see the floor! "Oh hey Danny, like what we've done so far," Lydia asked.

"It's amazing!"

The girls had arranged the room with furniture; they placed the changing table against the window and the crib was against the wall next to it. There was even a rocking chair in the corner. Danny walked over to the crib and placed her hands on the mahogany. 'This is beautiful,' she thought. She thanked the girls and walked downstairs, meeting the guys outside.

"Whadaya think Danny," Derek asked.

"It's perfect," she replied. She was amazed at how helpful everyone was being. Danny slipped her arm around Ethan's waist as they walked back into the house. They sat down in the living room and flipped on the TV; SpongeBob was on. Danny snuggled against Ethan, eventually falling asleep on his arm. Seeing that his wife had had a long day, he scooped her up and walked upstairs. Ethan carefully set Danny on the bed and tucked her in. He thought about what Deaton had said and wondered if this was the baby talking. He finally went back downstairs and checked on the guys outside.

"Hey guys, how much longer before you're done?"

"We just finished the bassinet. Whadaya think," Isaac asked.

"I don't know what to say, it's beautiful; I'm sure Danny will love it," Ethan replied.

"Should we take it upstairs," Boyd asked.

"No, Danny just went to sleep. Just leave it in the living room, I'll take it up later."

The girls came downstairs and met up with the guys. "Thanks everyone for your help, it means the world to us," Ethan exclaimed.

"What did Deaton say," Lydia asked.

"Well, the gestation period is 9 months and Danny's three weeks along." "Deaton did warn us that the pregnancy could leave Danny extremely exhausted and we might not be successful on the first try." "But other than that, the baby looks healthy," said Ethan.

"That's good to hear," said Allison.

"Yeah, I'm just worried this is gonna take a toll on Danny's body," Ethan confessed.

"Ah don't worry Eth. Danny's strong and you know it, she'll come through," said Aiden.

"Thanks bro."

Ethan oversaw the pack as they left the house. He shut the door and took the bassinet upstairs, placing it on his side of the bed. Danny stirred lightly in her sleep eliciting a smile from Ethan. With that, he walked out and shut the door behind him.
