6 months later.
"Ugh Rick help me up." Kate said struggling to get off the couch,
"We should go shopping today." Rick suggested as he helped his 8 month pregnant wife off the sofa,
"And we need to start painting the nursery." Kate said waddling over to the kitchen,
"Alexis is painting that, and ordering the furniture." Rick reminded her,
"But should we not help her, it's a big task."
"I will be helping, you can help a small bit too."
"Ok so clothes shopping today then?"
"Yeah, you go get changed into something proper and we'll go then."
"Can we go to Remy's too?" Kate asked,
"Of course we can." Rick said smiling as his wife walked into their bedroom.
He couldn't wait to have another kid, and this time the marriage would last.
"Rick do I look fat in this?" Kate asked coming out of the bedroom wearing a loose white flowy dress that they bought last week.
"You look beautiful."
"But do I look fat in it?"
"No, you look pregnant, two completely different things." Rick said reassuring her.
"Ok well lets go and pick out clothes for our baby." Kate said grabbing her bag.
"I'm driving though!" Rick said,
"I'm pregnant not disabled Rick, gimme the keys."
"Nope, I'm driving or we don't go."
"Fine." Kate grumbled as they left the flat.
30 minutes later they were walking around in the mall looking for baby shops.
"Ooh!" Rick said pointing to a shop, "Can we go in there?"
"Sure." Kate said waddling towards the baby shop.
It was painted yellow and had clothes on display in the window.
"Look!" Rick said sounding like a little child on Christmas,
"What is it babe?" Kate asked following him to a clothes rack,
"It's a tiger onesie! Can we get it please?" Rick said giving her puppy eyes,
"Sure, its your baby too." Kate said putting it in the basket.
For the next half an hour Rick went around that shop picking out onesies and clothes for their baby.
"Rick we cant get that." Kate said pointing to the dinosaur onesie that Rick had put in the basket,
"Why?"
"What if it's a girl, we cant have her wearing a dinosaur onesie."
"Alexis wore them all the time, it was super adorable."
"Ok well if our baby gives out when she's older because there were pictures of her wearing a dinosaur onesie, your to blame."
"It's going to be a boy." Rick said sounding confident,
"What makes you so sure?" Kate asked,
"I just have this feeling that it's a boy. When Meredith was pregnant I told her it was a girl but she was so sure it was a boy. Then she got all moody when we found out it was a girl." Rick said picking out some little tiny shoes.
"Ok maybe we should go pay for this and head to another shop." Kate suggested,
"Oh yeah, that's a good idea, I'll go pay for this now." Rick said heading towards the till.
Kate didn't even want to know how much all that clothes cost. It was probably more than she earned in a week.
"Ready?" Rick asked walking towards her carrying two big shopping bags.
Kate nodded and they began walking to another baby shop.
"Oh my God Rick!" Kate said as they walked into the shop,
"What?! Are you having contractions? Has your water broke?" Rick said starting to freak out,
Kate shook her head and pointed to a rack of onesies,
"They have Nebula 9 onesies." She whispered.
"Kate speak up, I cant hear you?"
"They have Nebula 9 onesies." Kate repeated louder,
"Oh." Rick simply said staring at the onesies,
"We have to get them!" Kate squealed waddling to the onesies,
"I cant believe this!" Rick moaned, "They don't have Star Trek onesies but they have Nebula 9 onesies."
"Nebula 9 was an awesome show!" Kate argued,
"Ha no it wasn't." Rick said smiling,
"It was amazing! You just have bad taste."
"Ok you tell yourself that." Rick joked,
"I think we might have enough clothes now." Kate said after they had filled another basket full of little baby clothes,
"Yeah, maybe we should start getting other things, like diapers and cream and all that stuff. Alexis has ordered all the furniture and a few toys." Rick said paying for the clothes.
"Maybe we should go in there." Kate said as they left the second clothes shop,
"Yeah that shop would probably have all the cleaning stuff and creams and all that stuff."
2 Hours Later
"Ugh my feet hurt." Kate groaned as they sat into the normal booth at Remy's,
"Well I think we have enough baby stuff for 10 baby's."
"Yeah well I think I can just about manage with one." Kate said as she flicked through the menu,
"So do you want a second kid or stick with one?" Rick asked,
"Well I think after this one we should have another one, I was a single child and it wasn't that fun, my mom and dad had to work a lot so I was alone quite a bit."
"I cant wait to have this little baby," Rick sighed,
"Yeah me too." Kate said rubbing her bump,
So we need a name, what do you think?" Rick asked as he pointed out to the waiter of what he wanted,
"I'm sticking with Charles, Charlie or Jonathon, what do you think?"
"Ok so I think we should stick with Charlie if it's a boy. And if it's a girl I think Chelsea." Rick suggested,
"Yeah I think Chelsea would be good for girl." Kate said thinking about it.
At The Loft.
"Alexis this looks great!" kate said walking into the nursery,
Alexis had painted the walls a dark yellow colour and had green at the bottom to look like grass, She was in the middle of painting a cartoon lion on the wall.
"Thanks, I just need to finish the lion then do a giraffe and a zebra. Then dad needs to help with the furniture and we are done!" Alexis said proudly.
"I think this is truly amazing, its perfect for the baby." Kate said started to tear up,
"Are you crying?" Alexis asked in shock,
"Its all the hormones!" Kate sobbed,
"Um right ok." Alexis said going over to give her step-mom a hug,
"That Lex, for everything." Kate said after they broke apart,
"Anytime, I want this baby as much as you guys do." Alexis said returning to her painting.
"Wow this is great!" Rick said coming upstairs,
"You need to start assembling the furniture, all the boxes are downstairs." Alexis instructed.
"Ooh… ok, that's going to be fun." Rick said, hoping that the furniture would be easy to assemble.
"I'll help, its just screwing some screws into some wooden things, I'm quite good at that stuff." Kate perked up.
"But what if anything happens?" Rick said caustiously
"Babe, all I need is a screw driver and some screws, its not like im defusing a bomb."
"Ok fine, but don't do to much, you need all the sleep you can get before this baby is born." Rick said heading downstairs followed by Kate.
The Next Day.
"Ok the nursery is done!" Rick said proudly.
Alexis had finished painting the walls yellow. There was a cartoon lion, giraffe and zebra on the wall. The wardrobe, the dresser and the crib was a light mahogany wood.
"Its perfect." Kate said leaning into Rick's chest,
"Yeah, you did really good pumpkin." Rick said to Alexis,
Alexis had to do most of the furniture as Rick was completely clueless, and Ryan and Espo had to come around to carry it upstairs.
"Now all we need is the baby and its complete." Alexis perked up.
"Well yeah that would be nice, only another month now." Rick said,
The suddenly Kate gasped,
"I think the baby is coming early." She whispered clutching her baby bump.
