After sleeping through their alarm, they finally woke up and got ready for the day. Jessie showered as Sara made breakfast. Jessie came out into the kitchen in only a towel.
"Jessie! Go get dressed so we can go shopping!"
"Oooo! Shopping?" Sara laughed and nodded.
"I thought we could go shop for the babies, you know, get some clothes, maybe some toys, and look at furniture."
"That sounds amazing, I'll get dressed right now!" Jessie ran into the bedroom, being careful not to slip, and put on the first outfit she saw. She found one of Sara's scarfs, put it on, and walked back into the kitchen.
"Isn't that my scarf?"
"Yeah... I hope you don't mind," Jessie played with her hands.
"No, no, I don't mind. In fact, it looks better on you than it ever did on me." Jessie smiled.
"Time to go shopping?"
"Baby, you gotta eat, you can't go out with an empty stomach," Jessie grabbed some pancakes and started eating them. She shoved them in her mouth as fast as she could without choking.
"Now can we go?" Jessie mumbled with her mouth full.
"You're so weird," Sara laughed and opened the door, waiting for Jessie. Jessie put her plate in the sink before walking over to Sara and grabbing her hand. They took the elevator down to the lobby of their building, got in their car, and drove to Macy's.
"I figured we could go here since it's not too far away," Sara said as she parked the car and they walked inside. They walked to the furniture section to look at the cribs.
"Your crib was bought with the money I was going to use to buy us a new life," Jessie said, quoting Waitress.
"I love you like a table," Sara laughed and looked at a crib.
"Baby look! This one is so cute! I love the gray color plus it can transform into a bed when they get older!"
"Price?" Jessie asked, admiring the crib.
"$560"
"Sara, you do realize that would be $1120, just for the cribs. If you look here, we can get it without the bed option for $250, in white or gray."
"I like the gray."
"Then gray it is," Jessie smiled and took two of the product cards to use to check out with later.
"What else do we need? I've never shopped for a baby before."
"We need a changing table, to change their nasty smelly diapers. Actually, there's a matching changing table that goes with the crib."
"Dang this was easier than I thought it would be," Sara laughed.
"Now that we're pretty much done with furniture, let's go look at clothes and toys."
"Let's split up, you grab what you like, I'll grab what I like, and we'll meet back here?"
"Okay, in 20 minutes?"
"Sounds good!" They went their separate ways, each with a cart. Jessie went absolutely crazy, everything she saw, she loved. Sara was taking her time, looking for the best clothes and toys for babies. When the 20 minutes was up, Jessie's cart was full to the top with toys and clothes and Sara's cart was less than half full.
"Dang, your cart is packed," Sara laughed at Jessie.
"I have a weakness for cute baby clothes! Everything is so tiny and so cute!"
"So everything is like you?" Sara smiled.
"Hey! I'm not that short!"
"Whatever you say, little girl. I think we should go through each of our carts and pick 10 to 15 things we like the most. That way we won't have too many multiples at the baby shower," Jessie nodded and they each picked out 10 baby outfits, five for the girl and five for the boy, and 5 toys for them to share.
"Let's go checkout so we can see the damage," Sara said as they combined their carts. They walked to the front of the store and paid for the furniture, toys, and clothes.
"Boy or girl?" The cashier asked while ringing them out. Sara and Jessie smiled at each other,
"Actually, both, we're having twins."
"Aw, that's so adorable! Good luck to the both of you, twins are a lot of work."
"I think we can handle it," they grabbed their bags and an employee helped carry out the cribs and changing table. They loaded everything into the back of their car and drove home.
The doorman helped carry up the big boxes of furniture while they carried the bags. They took the boxed furniture and the bags into the empty room reserved for the nursery. Sara unboxed the first crib and started to put it together.
"Babyyyy," Jessie whined, "it's late and I'm sleepy."
"Let's just finish this crib, so we don't lose any screws or anything like that." Jessie nodded and picked up the instructions. Jessie leaned up against the wall and told Sara where the parts went.
"Okay, what's next?" Sara waited for Jessie to reply, "Jessie? What's next?" She asked again. Sara looked up and saw Jessie fast asleep against the wall. She smiled and moved over to Jessie. Sara bent down and picked Jessie up, being careful not to wake her. She carried her into the bedroom, put her under the covers, and kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight baby girl, I love you," Sara whispered before walking into the nursery and finishing the cribs.
