Newsies were not decorators. They didn't know all of the things that those fancy shmancy decorators knew, they just knew what they thought looked good.

Well, when Jack decided to take his eight month pregnant wife out for a little date, the boys decided they would surprise the soon-to-be-parents and finish Baby Kelly's room. Jack and Katherine didn't have a very big apartment, and it was a bit run down, but that's besides the point.

It had a small living room and kitchen, then two bedrooms. One for Jack and Katherine, another for Baby Kelly. Kath and Jack had been trying to work on the room as much as possible before the baby made her arrival, but it was hard with Jack at work and Katherine trying to work from home.

"Alright boys," Davey shouted over the noise of the Newsboys. They quieted down after a minute and Davey continued, "We have about an hour to do this, so we have to get as much done as possible. I think Jack said the paint was in the living room next to the couch or something and the decorations are in that corner. Les and Buttons, go keep watch for Jack and Katherine. Crutchie, Race, Mush, and Sniper, finish painting. Specs, Finch, Albert, and Romeo, try to put the crib together. I think there are instructions somewhere in the box. Um, Elmer, Henry, Jojo, and I will get the apartment picked up a bit for them I guess." He said the last sentence a bit uncertainly.

"Hey, Mush!" Race shouted. Said boy looked up from his paint job just as a pink paint splatter hit him in the face. "Oohh it's on now," Mush said, chuckling and grinning mischievously. "Fellas, c'mon, we don't have very long to get this done," Crutchie said as a paint splatter hit him in the forehead.

"C'mon, Crutch, live a bit," Race said, dodging a paint splatter. The paint war stopped when a paint went out the open window and the four boys heard a woman shout angrily.

"Do Jack and Plums have a ladder anywhere?" Sniper asked, poking his head out of the room. "Uh, I don't think so. Why?" Davey asked. "Cause we can't reach the top of the wall and-," Sniper's sentence was cut short as the group heard a thud and Race's voice asking, "You ok?"

Sniper turned and saw Mush and Crutchie on the floor, laughing. "Why'd we think that would work?" Crutchie asked as Mush stood and pulled Crutchie up. "It was his idea," Mush said, pointing at Race with his thumb. "Was not," Race argued. They tried it again and managed to get most of the top of the room.

Meanwhile, the crib wasn't going too well. "No, this part is supposed to go on later," Romeo said, frowning at the instructions. "No it's not, see? It looks normal," Specs said, putting the piece on. "No, he's right, Specs, that doesn't go on until we get the legs on," Finch said, looking at the instructions. Specs looked at Albert, who shrugged and said, "Don't look at me, they'se da ones with da instructions."

Specs sighed and took the piece off. Soon they had it completely put together just as the other boys had finished painting. The managed to somehow get the crib in the room and Davey began to say something when they heard the door open and Les and Buttons talking rapidly. "Guys, guys, what's going on?" they heard Jack's voice said.

"Nothing!" they said in unison. "Hey, where are the other boys? I'm pretty sure Davey wouldn't let you come by yourself, Les," Katherine said. "What about me?" Buttons asked. "You know what I mean," Katherine replied. "Um," Les started.

Davey walked out of Baby Kelly's room and smiled, saying, "Hey you two." "What're you up to?" Jack asked slowly. "Just come here," Davey said. The couple glanced at each other before following Davey, Les, and Buttons to the room.

Jack and Katherine gasped when they saw it. "You guys did this?" Katherine asked, smiling. "Do you like it?" Crutchie asked. "We love it. Thank you guys," Jack smiled.
