Week 14

Fourteen weeks. She lost Christian at fourteen weeks. Now, she was at this stage again. Fear was set in her chest from the very moment Ronnie opened her eyes. What if she lost this baby too? She couldn't think that way or she would, but it was hard not to.

"Danny?" Ronnie stepped into the kitchen, "Do you think it's too early to go look at nursery things?" Danny looked up at her and shook his head.

"No. It's a great time to go look at things." He said.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yes. You're fourteen weeks and this pregnancy is going to go great so don't worry about it." He said, "Do you want to go now?" Ronnie nodded.

"Not to pick out any themes or anything, but just like a crib and that kind of stuff."

"Let's go." Danny said. Ronnie smiled tenderly at her fiancée. It was nice to see him this happy about a simple task. Ronnie always wondered if Danny had fears about loosing this one as well.

The store was so overwhelming. There were hundreds and thousands of baby items. Danny reminded her it was a baby store. They immediately went to the crib section.

"I want something elegant. Something that will match the place." Ronnie said looking around.

"You want a yuppie crib." Danny chuckled looking around.

"I don't think there's such thing as a yuppie crib." Ronnie said. "OH look at this one!"

"That's a yuppie crib!" Danny chuckled. Ronnie was eyeing a cherry oak sleigh bed with build in drawers beneath it.

"It is not." She said, "I like it."

"I like it too, but it's a yuppie crib." Danny winked.

"You like it?"

"I just said I did, didn't I?" Danny chuckled. Ronnie picked up the slip off of the crib.

"Then we'll get it." She smiled putting her hand on her stomach.

"You sure you want it?" Danny asked.

"Are you sure?" Ronnie asked.

"Yes." He winked. The couple walked down the aisle. "So, we need cherry oak furniture." Ronnie nodded as she looked over dressers.

"How about one of these dressers with a changing table built in to them?" Ronnie ran her hand over the oak dresser. Danny looked at it.

"It looks expensive." He said. Ronnie nodded.

"Yeah, but we can afford it." She said, "We'll be using it for our net baby so it's not like it's a one time use thing." Danny smiled gently. She was already talking about more children.

"I like it, Ronnie." He smiled. She winked at him as she grabbed the slip.

"Good. I think I have a few end tables that will match this stuff in storage." Ronnie said. They spent another half-hour looking around. Once they got up to the register they had spent fourteen hundred dollars. Ronnie cheerfully wrote out a cheek and paid for the things. The store helped them load it into the car. Danny really hoped this baby would come out all right or they had spent too much money on nothing.

Week 16

Ronnie lay on the bed rubbing her bump. It had seemed to grow over night. Ronnie absolutely loved being able to look down and see that she was pregnant. It made her feel terrific. Danny glanced at her with a chuckled. After they had passed the fourteen-week mark, Ronnie's spirits had seemed to be a bit higher. Maybe it was because she didn't think she'd loose this baby now.

"We're going to find out in two weeks." Ronnie grinned brightly as she looked at her fiancée. He looked back at her.

"I know it." Danny said with a chuckle, "We're having a girl."

"No. It'll be a boy." Ronnie chuckled. "I can just feel it."

"Dana or Christopher, I don't care." Danny said with a shrug.

"Me either. As long as it's healthy, I will be happy." Ronnie smiled softly caressing her bump. As she started to relax, she felt a flutter in her stomach. "Oh my God!" Danny looked at her.

"What?" He asked. Ronnie smiled brightly at him.

"The baby is moving." She said as she put his hand on her stomach. She pressed it into her belly; "It feels like fish swimming around."

"I can't feel anything." Danny said. Ronnie pressed his hand into her stomach.

"Right here." She said. Danny shook his head with a frown.

"Nothing." Ronnie sighed with frustration.

"Maybe I can feel it better because it's inside of me." She said.

"In a few weeks, I'll be able to feel it. Don't worry." Danny kissed her temple.

"I just wanted you to feel it now." She said. Danny smiled as he caressed her stomach.

"Soon." He crawled down a little further and placed his lips upon her stomach, "Hi Baby Hanson. It's Daddy. Can you hear me?"

"He can hear you." Ronnie smiled running her hand through his hair. He looked up at Ronnie.

"What colour hair do you think the baby will have?" He asked.

"Probably blond." Ronnie chuckled.

"And eyes?"

"Probably blue." She giggled, "He will be the most handsome boy ever."

"She will be the most gorgeous baby girl ever." Danny winked.

"He's moving again." Ronnie giggled. "Keep talking."

"All right. When I was younger so much younger than today." Danny started to sing, "I never needed anybody to help me on my way. Now these days are gone and I feel so insecure." Ronnie grinned softly running her hand through his hair again.

"You're making me very excited." Ronnie winked.

"Oh am I?" Danny kissed her belly again, "How excited?" Ronnie threw his book across the room and gave him the eye.

"Very excited, baby." Ronnie winked. Danny crawled up alongside of her. "Are you going to help me relieve some of this tension?"

"I might be able to help you out there, but I don't want to squish that baby of ours." Danny said. Ronnie growled and straddled him.

"Fine…I'll b eon top then." Ronnie winked. Danny loved it when she was frisky and she seemed to be getting frisky a lot more lately. There would be no complaints in this household.
