Week 22
Ronnie tried fixing the shirt that clung tightly to her body. She had seemed to grow two dress sizes over night. When would this growing stop? She would explode before she gave birth to Christopher, she assumed. She waddled down the hallway to the nursery.
Danny was finishing up the nursery. Ronnie was very proud of it. The walls were a nice sea mist green. They had picked out a simple blue and green patchwork quilt and set for the crib. It matched the cherry furniture perfectly. It would be a great room for a young boy to grow up in.
"Hey there." Ronnie smiled, "What are you doing?"
"Every boy needs a train set." Danny smiled flicking on the power switch. A train started going around the room. Ronnie watched it carefully.
"It's perfect." Ronnie grinned. Danny looked up at her belly.
"You like it, Chris?" He crawled over and put his hands on her belly. Christopher kicked against Ronnie's stomach.
"He hears you. He agrees. He loves it." She giggled.
"Good." Danny kissed her stomach before he got up. "Is it snowing really bad out there?"
"It just stopped and it looks very beautiful out there."
"Then let's go out." Danny said, "Let's go for a walk and just relax." Ronnie chuckled softly.
"We're going to freeze our asses off." Ronnie smiled.
"You have a cute ass so it doesn't matter." Danny winked.

Ronnie shivered slightly.
"It's starting to warm up at least." She said. Danny nodded.
"Snows melting." He said. Ronnie chuckled.
"I have eyes." She winked. "It'll be bikini weather soon and I can't wear one."
"Oh you can wear one if you want. I'll think it's sexy."
"But I wont." Ronnie said watching a man shovel up the slush.
"Just think, in eighteen weeks, Christopher will be here." He said.
"I'm nervous." She said. "What if I can't stand the pain?"
"You can do it." He said, "You've been through a lot on this will be nothing. You'll go through it with ease and want to do it again."
"Oh you think so do you?" Ronnie laughed.
"I know so." He said, "You're going to make a terrific mother."
"I really hope so." Ronnie sighed softly as she found a bench and sat down in it, "I want Christopher to have a wonderful life."
"He already does." He said as he leaned over and kissed her cheek. "We're going to be great parents."
"I can't wait just to see what he looks like, Danny." Ronnie said, "His blond hair and blue eyes." Danny smiled softly at her.
"You think that's what he'll have?" He asked. Ronnie nodded.
"I am sure that's what he'll have, unless he's bald for the first few months." Danny laughed out loud.
"No boy of mine will have a bald head." He said, "Baldness doesn't run in my family so he's in the clear." Ronnie chuckled.
"I wouldn't care if he was bald or not." She said. Both of them sighed in unison. They were very excited to have him there in their arms, but they still had a while. They would have to wait.
See the actual set Ronnie and Danny chose (with different furniture of course:

Week 24
Danny sat at his desk looking over a couple of final reports. Sometimes he wondered why he was still a teacher. He got no respect at Winslow High, Neither from the Students or faculty. Okay Ronnie and Marilyn were the exceptions.
"Danny, are you going to stay there all night?" Marla stood in the doorway. Danny looked up and frowned at her.
"Do you have a problem with me staying here?" He asked her.
"No, I just have a problem with you." Marla smiled.
"Listen, Marla, this is my classroom so just leave." He said.
"Yours? I believe it's the school." She said.
"Why are you such a bitch towards me?" Danny asked.
"Because you deserve someone to keep you in line." Marla said.
"You're unbelievable." Danny chuckled, "Just leave."
"I will." Marla said, "When I'm good and Ready." She took a seat in front of Danny. He narrowed his eyes.
"Fine." He said and looked back at his papers.
"Why don't you leave?" Marla asked.
"I will when I'm good and ready." Danny smirked marking a paper. Marla shook her head with disgust.
"Don't you have a fiancée to get home to?" She asked.
"Go grab your broom and fly, Marla." Danny growled and started to gather up all of his papers. He couldn't deal with her anymore. She was so mean and rude to him. He never did anything to her. She shouldn't be treating him like this.
"Are you insinuating that I'm a witch?" Marla asked.
"No. Just a bitch." Danny said as he got up, "Have a good night."
* * *
Danny growled as he slammed the front door.
"Hello." Ronnie chuckled. "Are you okay?"
"I don't know if I can work there any more, Babe." He said.
"Oh yes you can." Ronnie said, "There's on two more weeks and then it'll be summer vacation." Danny plopped down on the couch.
"That's not soon enough." He sighed, "Why is Marla the way she is?" Ronnie shrugged and sat down next to him.
"I have no idea." Ronnie said as she put his hand on her belly.
"Hi Chris." He smiled slightly, "At least summer vacation is the sign of his arrival." Ronnie returned his smile.
"Are you excited?" She asked softly. Danny nodded.
"I'm exited to see Christopher and I'm excited to marry you." Danny said kissing Ronnie softly.
"I can't believe we're getting married this year." Ronnie said, "I feel so unsexy right now. I don't think I could fit my leg into my wedding dress right now."
"You'll be back to your original size by December. Don't worry." Danny smiled as he hugged his fiancée; "I can't wait to marry you, Ronnie. We've been focusing a lot on Chris, but we can't forget that we're getting married." Ronnie laughed.
"My parents have been calling a lot so they won't let me forget." Ronnie chuckled. "You nervous about meeting my parents?" Danny nodded.
"I have every right to be nervous." Danny said, "I've never met them and they could disapprove of me."
"They won't disapprove and if they did I could care less." Ronnie smiled, "I love you so much, Danny. Thank you for entering my life." Danny smiled softly as he hugged her. He couldn't tell her enough how much she had enriched his life. They loved each other so much. They couldn't wait to become parents and husband and wife.
