A/N-So guys, please tell me how you think the story is. Am I rushing it too much??
Chapter 4: Nursery
"Junior?" Kris asked peaking into the door that was going to be the nursery in a little less than 6 months.
"Morning baby," he said turning to face her.
"What," she eyed him weird, "what are you doing?"
Junior was standing in paint covered jeans and a t-shirt painting the walls.
"Well, I read that the paint fumes can mess the baby up if you do it to late into the pregnancy, so I decided would go ahead and do it," he smiled getting back to painting the room a pastel yellow color.
"Junior, we are leaving three months after the baby is born, why get it set up and then leave?" she asked walking into the room a little ways.
"Because I want this baby to have everything possible. And it needs a nursery as soon as it comes home from the hospital," he said not facing her. "And we decided a yellow room would be good for the baby, since supposedly it makes them smarter, but once we get back home we can set it up even better since we will know the sex of the baby," he added.
"If you say so," she said turning to leave the room. A thought came to mind and she turned back around, "We have to be at the doctor's at 11, so that gives you 2 hours," she said.
"And, after that, we are going to get lunch and go baby shopping," he said in a gay voice.
"You are so retarded," she laughed, "and since when are we going shopping?"
"Since I decided. And plus, you have to work the next three weeks lunch and dinner shifts, so we won't have as much time," he stated. Kris nodded and went to take a shower.
"Can you tell what it is?" Junior asked looking at the black and white screen.
"Yeah, I see," Dr. Love said.
"Well?" Junior asked getting over excited.
"You have a healthy baby," she said tripping him out a little.
"That's not funny," Junior said.
"Junior," Kris said scolding his behavior laughingly.
"I'm only joking," Dr. Love said, "do you want to know the sex?"
"Yes," Junior popped out.
"Kris?" the doctor asked completely ignoring Junior.
"Yes, I would like to know."
"Okay, you're going to have a healthy little girl," she smiled.
"YES!" Junior screamed jumping in the air. The doctor and Kris gave him a weird look. "What?"
"Nothing," they laughed together.
"Okay, Kris, everything is looking great. Be back here on April 20th, and we will take another look. You'll be past your half-way mark. Are you getting excited?" Dr. Love asked Kris closing down the machines.
"Yeah, I am. Did you find out what you're having?"
"Yep, we are having a boy," she smiled. "Edward Jacob, we are going to call him EJ."
"That's cute," Kris smiled up at her.
"You have any name thoughts?"
"Nope, we are going to name her on the spot," Kris said getting up from the hard table.
"Well, good luck. See you in five weeks," the doctor said before leaving, shortly being followed by Kris and Junior.
"Are you ready to go shopping," Junior said with a huge smile on his face.
"Why are you so excited about this?" Kris turned towards him wrapping the seat belt around her large stomach.
"Because, Kris. This baby is a symbol of our love, and our commitment to each other. I want this baby, and you, to have everything possible for it to be healthy and happy," he said looking into her eyes.
"Junior," she said smiling leaning towards him to kiss him. He deepened this kiss and put his hand on her neck pulling her closely before she pulled away. "This is how we got into it in this situation to begin with," she laughed.
"True," he laughed putting the car into drive and pulling away.
4 hours later..
"Are you sure we don't need furniture?" Junior asked bringing the last of the millions of bags into Kris's living room.
"Yes, Junior," she sighed after the hundredth time of hearing the same question, "Lidia is going to let me borrow hers so we don't by new furniture and then up and leave."
"Okay, well I think I'm going to go to her house sometime soon and get it. That way we can put all of the baby's things away," he said plopping down on the couch.
"I can't believe you spent that much money," she said looking at one of the seven receipts.
"I told you I was going to get anything we could possibly need," he said.
On their "fun" shopping trip they had gotten Kris enough clothes to last for a year and never wear anything twice, a whole bunch of babies clothes, blankets, bottle, diapers, wipes, lotions, powders, toys, bedding, and anything else you could possibly think of. Junior also insisted on purchasing three baby name books.
"What were you thinking for a name?" he asked her placing his arm around her shoulder.
"I haven't. I'm going to wait until she is born, in case the name I pick just doesn't fit her. What about you?" she asked looking up at his handsome face.
"I like Grace," he simply stated. "We could call her Gracie."
"I think that's pretty. I know I want something unique that you don't hear every often, but not something that's too uncommon."
"For now, she is just Little One," Junior sighed leaning down and kissing her belly. He began humming quietly and Kris fell asleep. He called Lidia and decided to get the furniture the next day.
It was three weeks later, Kris was now 21 weeks pregnant and her belly was getting bigger and bigger by the day. Junior had finished setting the nursery up and was placing the toys and everything where they belonged.
"Aren't you going a little bit over board with this? I still have 19 weeks left until I'm due," Kris said standing beside him in the middle of the nursery. The walls were a pale, cheery shade of yellow and all the furniture was white, along with the door, trimming and closet. The blind covered window had the same pale yellow as the walls, white, and lavender plaid. The upholstery also had the same design. The white rocking-chair was in the corner of the wall the door was on and the closet. The window was on the opposite side as the door and the crib was in corner opposite of the rocking-chair, by the window and the clear wall. The lavender bassinet was in the middle of the room. The changing table was underneath the window and the toy box was beside it. The dresser was beside the crib.
"I think it looks good though, and the sooner we get it finished, the sooner we can focus on it coming, instead of getting ready for it," Junior replied kissing the top of her head. Kris rolled her eyes and followed her boyfriend out of the baby's room and into the kitchen.
"I think I'm going to drive over to Lidia's," Kris said pulling on her coat and grabbing her car keys from the hook.
"Okay, but don't forget, we have reservations for tonight," he said walking towards her.
"I won't, but I'll just meet you there," she said standing on her tippy toes and kissing him good-bye.
"Love you," he said giving her one more kiss before she walked out of the room.
Junior walked to the window and made sure Kris was gone before grabbing his coat and keys and leaving.
"Going overboard with the nursery huh?" Lidia asked Kris while she handed her a glass of water.
"No, not really. He just wants everything to be so perfect, but I just don't see the point. The baby is going to be three months old when we leave. She's not going to know whether her room was pretty of not," Kris sighed sipping at her ice water. "I happy he is here, don't get me wrong, but things can't always be perfect. If they were, I wouldn't be pregnant right now."
"And you wouldn't be with Junior, either," Lidia reminded her, pushing her brown hair behind her shoulder.
"That's true," she sighed again. "I have to meet him at Le Restaurant de L'Hotel at seven."
"Oh, fancy. What's the occasion?" Lidia smiled to her best friend.
"It's a place he has always wanted to go to. And, it's food so I wasn't turning down the offer," Kris laughed.
"Silly girl. What are you going to wear?"
"I was hoping you could help me?" Kris asked as Lidia pulled her from the chair and made their way out the door.
"Well, I really like this one. But that one there is gorgeous, too," Junior told the salesman.
"What is the girl like?" he asked Junior.
"She is very simple, but very diverse at the same time. She would love anything I got her," he replied. "But I think I'm going to go with that one," he pointed to the one on his right, "that seems more Kris."
"I think it's perfecto!" the man said leading Junior to the cash register.
"I wish I wasn't fat," Kris pouted after trying on the tenth dress of the day.
"You still look good," Lidia responded circling around dress before something catches her eye. My eyes follow hers and it hits me too, the most beautiful teal satin dress a pregnant woman could ask for. It had about a three inch strap over the shoulders and came down to a low ve-neck. The bottom fell down almost to the knee.
"I must have it," I said still staring at the dress (Dress is on my profile if you would like to see it J)
"Yes," she agreed going to pull it off the rack for me.
"You look," Junior was at a loss for words when I met him at the restaurant, "amazing." The dress fit perfectly and Lidia curled my hair and pinned the top back and added just the right touch of make-up.
"Why thank you," I smiled sitting down in the chair he had pulled out for me and looked around. The restaurant was AMAZING! I ha never seen anything so beautiful before in my life, besides Junior.
"I love you," he said taking my hands in his and looking at me through the burning candle's.
I smiled at him, "I love you,too." I saw him look past me and I turned to see what he was looking at, the host. "Junior?"
"Hmm?" he said sitting up in his chair as the host came over and handed us each a wine glass.
"Junior, I can't drink, " I paused when I looked down into an empty glass and something sparkling caught my eye. "Wine." The last word barely came out. I saw Junior move in front of me and get on the ground taking the glass from me and dropping the ring into his hand and holding it out towards me.
"Kris," he began, "I love you, more than anything in this whole entire world. And I know that we have been through a lot together and apart, and I know everything lead us to this point. I want you in my life, now, forever. WE use to talk about running away together just so we would never have to leave each other, but Kris, we are away and together and I don't want that to change. Please Kris, marry me, make me the happiest man in the world. Will you marry me?" he choked out the last sentence.
All I could do was nod. Tears dripped from my eyes. "Yes Junior, of course I will!" I wrapped my arms around him and held him close. He pulled away and grabbed my left hand placing the most beautiful ring ono my thin finger. "I…I can't believe I didn't see this coming."
"That's why it was so special," he smiled. I glanced down at my ring. It had a white gold band covered in small diamonds with one large round diamond in the center with two smaller diamonds on the side. (The ring is also on my profile). "This is beautiful," I sighed happily.
"I was hoping you would say that," he smiled.
"I love you," I smiled still not looking up from my finger.
"I love you too, Kris," he said before ordering our food which lead to a night full of bliss.
