Closing day finally happens on December 16th. She shows up with her cashiers check, they do a final walk through. She hands over the cashier's check for the closing costs, and signs some papers. Suddenly the keys are in her hands and it's 100% real, her home, for her family.
Ifama, their designer, is there to receive the second set of keys and set the painting in motion immediately as Emily heads back to work.
When Emily gets home from work late that evening having made up the hours she missed, her wedding dress has arrived in the mail. She excitedly opens the package, tries it on praying it will fit.
Fit it does. Emily stares at herself in the mirror, weight gain, giant belly, swollen ankles and all and feels more beautiful than she ever has in her life. She quickly takes a picture, sends it off to Elizabeth and JJ.
After changing out of the gown and leaving herself a reminder to drop it off at the dry cleaners tomorrow to get the wrinkles out, Emily settles down with her laptop with a shopping checklist. She browses and selects several maternity items, including two winter coats as she can barely stuff herself into her own coat any longer, and a swim suit for their vacation. She also orders a few nursing tops for when the baby comes, two stretchy nursing bras and a couple of nursing pads to get her through until her breast size settles down. Then comes a collection of both newborn and one-sized cloth diapers, detergents, and bags. She picks out a nursing pillow, a pack'n'play with bassinet for nights she might want to spend with the baby in Will's suite, a diaper bag, a little rocker, two different styles of slings, and various small supplies like a sleep sack, bathtub, and an array of cloths and towels.
The next day, Will accompanies her to another OB appointment. They find out that all of her tests came back normal, and although Emily complains that her heartburn is coming out of her ears at this point, she and baby are perfectly healthy. They discuss the birth a little at this point, how to recognize real contractions, that she should contact the OB's office or head into the hospital if she's having them before 37 weeks. Emily mentions that they're going away for the weekend soon, and Dr. Novak assures her that it's fine, simply advising her not to travel in the last month.
After the appointment, they head to a trendy and vastly overpriced baby store to pick out a few big items in person. On the ride over they bicker over baby names, neither of them having had enough of a break lately to put much thought into it yet. Will agrees to research some names, come up with a list of ones he likes so they can discuss it.
They end up deciding to go ahead and buy car seats for all three of their cars at this point, figuring that they're each going to end up transporting him at least some of the time. They also buy a booster seat for Emily's car so she can safely ride with Henry. After they pick out a stroller that collapses easily enough, they end up grabbing a mattress as well, to go with the crib their designer had bought.
Will insists on paying for the lot of it, and insists on carrying it all out to the car. When Emily protests, he simply points out that she's been spending far more than they have at this point and that they're going to need to chip in their share too. Then he assures her that there's not a damn chance in hell that he's letting his pregnant fiancee pick up heavy boxes.
For the rest of the week, every night they fuss about on the phone with one another over the names. Eventually they find one they both like, one that fits when Emily looks down at her belly and imagines her baby. Andrew.
They never do end up buying any clothes for baby Andrew, because JJ kept all of Henry's baby clothes stored up in the closet, more than they could possibly need. Receiving the giant gift box full of tiny baby clothes from JJ and Will the Saturday morning they meet up with they attorney again makes Emily start to tear up again. "JJ, these are beautiful!" she says between traitorous sobs.
JJ hugs her, pats her back. "It's just the pregnancy hormones making you do that, hon."
As she finally composes herself enough to waddle into the attorney's office, JJ distinctly hears Emily swear about exactly how done with being pregnant she is.
JJ and Will walk behind her, holding hands and grinning.
Half an hour later, they walk out with the change of ownership signed and as owners of their new home.
