CHAPTER 10: "Getting started"
3 months latter
Kyle had the day off and had told Amanda he would get started on the baby's room today. He pulled on an old t-shirt and some old basketball shorts. He grabbed the paint rollers paint buckets and tarps and set them in the baby's room and got to work. He opened the paint bucket and found that the color was a soft light green then he pored the paint into a tray and got to roller wet and the once white walls were turning green. A few hours had gone by and he was finished with the first coat of paint and was letting it dry while he at lunch.
He took a bite of his sandwich when the phone rang. "Hello?" he answered
"Hi Kyle!" the voice said on the other end.
"Oh hey Mom how are you?" he asked
"I am fine I was just calling to see what you were up to and how Amanda was doing."
"I am painting the baby's room and Amanda and I went to the doctors yesterday and the baby is doing fine healthy and everything seems to be running smoothly." He informed.
"That's great to hear have you guys decided on a name?" she asked
"No not yet, Hey hows Dad?" he asked
"Dad is doing great."
"Hey Mom I have to get back to work I have to finish the 2nd coat before Lori drops off Emma."
"Bye Kyle I love you."
"I love you to Mom." He hung up the phone and got back to work on the room.
2 hours and he is finally down he hopped in the shower before Lori got there and was all clean when she did.
"Hey Kyle." Lori said as she came in the house with Emma
Kyle strolled into the hall he just finished the sandwich from lunch.
"Hey Lori." He said as he took Emma from her.
"Declan should be here around 9 to pick her up." She told Kyle.
"Okay."
"Bye" she whispered to Emma and gave her a little kiss.
After 1 hour of Dora, 2 tea parties and a half hour of playing dolls Emma finally fell asleep on Kyle's stomach and after a while Kyle fell asleep with her laying on his stomach and him laying on the couch and another Dora episode playing on the T.V.
Amanda got home from work around 5 to see Kyle and Emma napping on the couch and the sound of Dora saying "Hola I'm Dora" in the back round. She smiled and gave Kyle a little kiss to wake him and it worked.
"Hey" He whispered
He was able to get out from under Emma with out waking her up.
"Did you finish painting the nursery?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah it looks great." He said ask he led her into the baby's room
The floors had white carpet and the walls were a crisp fresh green.
"Oh Kyle it does look great!" she complimented
Then Kyle pulled her into a tender kiss.
"I love you." He said with his arms around her waist "and I can't wait till this baby comes."
"I can't either and I love you too!" She had her arms around his neck and she kissed him again.
