Rosalie POV:
I yawned and rolled over, feeling an empty space beside me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. It's 8 am. Where could Emmett have gone? I rolled back over and grabbed my phone, dialing his number.
"Good morning, beautiful.", He answered.
"Good morning. Where did you go?", I asked as I curled up into the blankets.
"I figured I'd run and grab your prescription and some breakfast before I have to head to work. Chik Fil A or Dunkin' Donuts?", He replied.
I smiled to myself. "Dunkin'. I know I ask you daily, but how in the hell did I get so lucky?", I asked.
"Well it all started with a one time meet up but then you fell in love with me.", He chuckled.
"Shut up.", I laughed. "What time do you have to be at work?", I asked as I felt flutters in my belly. Blob was moving and kicking. I rubbed my belly, smiling to myself.
"9. I got your meds and I'm pulling in to get food now. I also did a Walmart order to be delivered to the house. I ordered some snacks, and a 40 pack of waters for you. Just be sure to stay hydrated today.", He answered. I listened as he ordered our food and smiled when he ordered me a 25 count of blueberry munchkins. He knew me so well.
"Ugh. I love you.", I told him. He really did treat me like a queen. I was incredibly lucky to have someone so caring.
"I love you more. How are you feeling this morning?", He asked.
"Better than I have lately, but not the best.", I replied. "I'm sure once I take the med and try to eat, I'll be okay. What time do you get off?".
"Should be around 1 or so. Did you still want to go to Target?", He asked.
"Yeah. I want to go ahead and get the bigger furniture.", I answered. "But I want to wait on getting clothes and things. I woke up at some point in the night and just had an off feeling about what the doctor said. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think we're having a boy.".
"Okay. We can do that. I'll be home in about 5 minutes to drop off your stuff and we can talk about this gender thing.", He said as he paid for my breakfast.
"Okay. Love you.", We got off the phone and I had rolled out of bed. I sighed as we did the same routine we'd had for weeks. I flushed the toilet and brushed my teeth, hoping the nausea would pass soon.
I walked downstairs just as Emmett was walking in. "Looking beautiful as always", he smiled at me.
"If beautiful consists of a belly, messy hair, and just a t shirt then sure.", I giggled, kissing him.
He kissed me back and placed his hand on my belly. "How's my lovely wife and boy this morning?".
"Not a boy.", I smiled. "I truly feel like that's a little girl and the doctor misread the ultrasound.".
"What makes you think that thought? Just a feeling or did you see something on the ultrasound pictures?", He asked as he sat down my food and medicine. "I mean, I'm okay for whatever gender and we can wait to confirm it until your next appointment. But I'm truly curious about this feeling you have.", He smiled at me.
I sat at the counter and took a bite of my donut. "I don't know how to explain it. I just feel like it.".
He kissed my cheek. "I love you, silly.", he handed me my medicine. "The pharmacist said to take this with food. Remember, you take it twice a day for a week then it changes next week.".
I nodded. "Yes, sir.", I opened the bottle and went ahead and took my morning pill. "Are you getting ready for work now?", I frowned as I watched him take off his shirt and throw it in the dirty laundry.
"Yeah. I have to, babe.", He smiled at me, kissing me. "I'll be home before you know it and we can go shopping for Blob.". I listened to his footsteps as he walked up the stairs. I laid a hand on my belly as I felt small kicks.
"I can't wait for your daddy to feel you.", I smiled down at my bump.
I finished eating and started a load of laundry, hearing a familiar voice. "I'm out, babe. I love you.".
"Love you more.", I replied.
After he left, I called Alice.
"Hey, preggo.", She answered. "How are you feeling?".
"Decent after getting sick. Thankfully I was prescribed some medicine to hopefully help with it. How are you?", I replied as I sat on the couch and curled up with a blanket.
"Eh. I've been better. Jace was up most of the night. We're currently in sleep regression.", She explained.
"Oh, fun. What's he doing now?", I asked. I ran my nails across my belly.
"Still awake. He's fighting it pretty bad. I just don't know what to do. I tried a white noise machine, piano music, just pure silence and darkness. I feel like I've tried it all.", She sighed.
"Well, I don't have any plans until Em gets off. Do you want me to come hang with him so you can sleep?".
"You would be a Rockstar, but I'm not going to ask that of you. I know your pregnancy has been rough and I don't want to put any more pressure on you.", She replied. I heard Jace crying to in the background and Alice trying to calm him down.
"I don't mind.", I laughed lightly. "You just gotta return the favor in a few months", I joked.
"Oh. I will for sure!" She laughed. "We have to help each other through the tough stages.".
"Yes ma'am.", I ate a donut and walked upstairs. "Do you need anything on the way over?". I looked through my closet, trying to find a pair of leggings.
"No. I'm okay. I'll see you when you get here. Thank you again for being so awesome.", She replied. We said our goodbyes and hung up.
I grabbed the pair of leggings as my mind wandered. I grabbed my phone, sending a text to Emmett.
'Sending this to you so I don't forget. Idea for a girl name: Aria. Opinion? Also, text me when you get off and I'll head home or meet you at target. I'm going to help Ali with Jace.'.
I smiled to myself at the name. Aria McCarthy flowed, in my opinion. But it wasn't just my baby and I wanted Emmett's opinion on the name. I slipped on my leggings and grabbed one of Emmett's t shirts. I don't know what I would do when these didn't fit anymore. Right now it was all I wanted to wear. They were baggy and cute with leggings right now.
After sliding on my shoes, I grabbed my donuts and purse and headed out.
"There's your Rockstar aunt!", Alice smiled at Jace as I walked in. She was holding him in her arms and I could tell she was exhausted.
"Hi, baby boy", I smiled at him. He smiled up at me and stretched some. Alice passed him to me and sat on the couch. "Aunt Rose is here now.".
I sat my purse down then sat on the couch. "Go lay down, Ali. You look exhausted.".
"I am. We've been up for a while now.", She stood up and yawned. "I really do appreciate you coming over.", she reached down, hugging me.
"I don't mind at all. Right, Jace?", I smiled down at my nephew.
"He ate about 2 hours ago. He'll probably be hungry soon. There's a gallon of water on the counter and his formula is right by it. He'll get 3 ounces of water with 2 scoops of formula.", She informed me.
I nodded, taking in the information. "Got it.". She walked to her room and shut the door. I felt my phone vibrate.
'Aria is pretty, but I don't know how I feel about it right now. We'll talk more about it later. What about Camdyn for boy or girl?'
I shook my head and chuckled. "Your uncle is ridiculous.", I told Jace.
'Hm. Cute, but this is so hard to do lol'. – I replied to his text.
I turned on the tv and put Jace on his little playmat. I smiled as he looked around. It was so crazy to think that I'd be living this life daily with my own baby. Soon my house would be filled with toys and baby clothes and I couldn't wait for it. On the contrary, I was nervous about birth and the first few weeks. I was scared I wouldn't be strong enough to do it. Ali had such an easy birth, but what if mine was a nightmare?
I heard Jace start fussing and got up to make a bottle. His cries got louder as I added the formula to the water. "I'm hurrying.", I assured him as I screwed on the cap and shook the bottle.
I walked back to the living room and picked him up. "It's okay, J. I know you're hungry.", I placed the nipple of the bottle at his mouth and he began eating. I watched as he ate, smiling as his little hand curled around my finger.
He finished his bottle and I held him to my shoulder, lightly patting his back. After he burped, I felt his body relax as he fell asleep. I carefully leaned back, and yawned.
"Rose..", I heard a voice as someone tapped my shoulder. "Rose, wake up.".
I fluttered my eyes, looking around. "Looks like you and Jace got a good nap in.", Alice smiled at me.
"We did.", I yawned, holding Jace as I sat up. I carefully laid Jace between my legs and smiled as he was still sleeping. "Did you have a good nap?".
"Yes! Thank you so much. I really needed it.", She sat on the ottoman, watching Jace. "I would have let you sleep longer, but it's 1:30 and my brothers asking about you.".
"Oh shit. He was getting off early so we could go shopping.", I checked my phone. Sure enough, it was 1:30 and I had multiple texts from Emmett.
"You're free to go.", She picked up Jace and patted his back. "We're gonna go lay down some more.".
I nodded and stood up. "I love you. Let me know if you need anything.", I hugged her before grabbing my things.
"Love you more. Send me pictures of what you get today!".
I nodded as we said our goodbyes. I walked to my car and dialed Emmett's number.
"I am so sorry!", I apologized as soon as Emmett answered. "I fell asleep with Jace and we took a good nap.".
He chuckled. "I'm not worried about it, love. It's only 1:30 and I haven't been off long. I'm just barely pulling into the driveway. Where are you?".
"Like 5 minutes away. Hey, what do you think of Adaleigh?", I asked.
"Adaleigh McCarthy? I like it. But not as much as Camdyn or Aria. What about Parker for boy or girl?", He asked.
"Hm. I like Parker. But she'd need a girly middle name.", I said as I pulled into the driveway. "I'm here. We'll finish this conversation.", I hung up and grabbed my purse before getting into his Jeep.
He kissed me and smiled. "Anyways, girly middle name but what if it's a boy?", He asked as he started driving.
"A boy would clearly be Parker Nolan.", I smiled.
"You'd want to give him my middle name?", Emmett asked.
"I mean, I figured that's what we'd do. You're named after your grandpa so I thought our son would be named after you.".
"I love it.", He smiled big. "I never really put it together that my son would share a name with me.".
I held his hand. "So we have a boy name, but we need to figure out a girl.".
"I tell you what. We'll name our daughter Aria, but I get to pick the middle name.", He smiled at me. "Deal?".
"Deal.", I watched him as he thought.
"Aria Rose, Aria Elizabeth, or Aria Sophia.", He simply stated.
"Ugh, not Rose.", I told him.
"Why?", He frowned.
"Em, no one calls me by my full name anymore, it's always Rose. Especially you during sex. Do you want to moan your daughters middle name while you fuck me?", I watched as his frowned face turned scrunched.
"Gross. You're right. So I declare that our daughters name will be Aria Elizabeth.", He squeezed my hand. "Now we just wait to find out if the dr was right and we have a Parker or if your intuition is right and we have an Aria.". He smiled as he pulled into the Target parking lot.
