As both Lilly and Christina, swarmed the baby outlet; racking up sales and discounts on baby clothes. They clearly were having a blast as Lilly bought what was needed so she could eventually pump out some milk; so that John could do some of the feedings as well. Aside from that, she also bought several books and toys.

"It would be a whole lot better, if you knew the sex of it Lil", Christina said while browsing through several racks of clothes. Placing a hand there Lilly, knew that she felt better not finding out, "Next time I will Chris, I want this one to remain a surprise".

Christina shrugged while still browsing through other racks of clothes, but by the end the sisters both blew around $500; just on that one store. Then the two headed on over to the mall to shop for each other and stop for a bite to eat. While there the they caught Scotty with his girlfriend, heading into Victoria's Secret.

"I don't think he knows really how to love," Christina said in a low voice, "Scotty acts like he thinks he does".

Lilly shook her head, "So why did you even go out with him"?

"I was dumb Lil, have someone better now", before hearing her sister's cell ringing loudly. Upon picking it up, Lilly knew that she have overspent, which wasn't a good thing. John had told her not to do this, and gave her a specific amount to go up to. Plus the fact, things were extremely tight for the two of them.

By the time that Lilly had gotten home, she hid the stuff away. It didn't take very long for John to find the receipts since her accidently had left it somewhere. He became furious at his wife; as the two began arguing over it.

"A part of it was Chris, I didn't spend $500 on my card", she yelled, "Besides I only spent about 100 which are what we both agreed on, do the math".

John scanned through the receipts before realizing that a part of it was paid in cash; while the other half was through her credit card, "No more Lil, wait until the baby arrives".

"What about Diapers and supplies, we are going to need that".

"Eventually, your only six months along. I don't want you going out and spending one more dime", was prompting her to shake her head in agreement. Then Lilly had spotted that he was also guilty of buying stuff, "Seems like you can't stop shopping either".

He glanced over at the bag, before seeing a smile breaking onto her face, "Makes me think you are doing some undercover baby shopping at work"?
John let out a sigh, before they both agreed not to spend any more money. Except that now Lilly grew hungry which made him not as eager to run out; besides her cravings changed daily. Other than that, he quickly calmed down; knowing that the stress wasn't good for their baby.

That and the two eventually sat down to watch a movie together, but Lilly's mind was still on the baby. She couldn't help but to feel maternal while being pregnant; somehow their VCR had broken down during it.

"About time we get a DVD player", seeing his reaction, "I'm not about to replace that one anytime soon".

"You think you have enough of this reality shows on tape, Lil"?

Lilly laughed softly, "Keeps me occupied when you work overnight, you wouldn't have to if you stopped snoring".

He shook his head, "That's because this one is always hungry", planting a kiss on her stomach. The two shared a moment looking into each other's eyes before; Lilly released a breath, "Speaking of which, whose going to cook tonight me or you"?

"Chinese takeout sound good to you", not feeling up to cooking at the moment.

Lilly leaned closure, "Just no Kung Pao chicken, last time Kat almost had Nick's head for reaching for her meal".

John chuckled in amusement, "Now it's her and Scotty bantering back and forth, reminds me of when you two used to do that".

"Are we talking about work again"?

"You brought it up", seeing her hands motioning to the menu, "Alright I'm ordering it Lil".

While they had waited for their order to arrive, the two sat there listening to their baby's heartbeat on some of those devices; that Lilly had just recently bought. She still couldn't get over how fast the heartbeat was; but it was symbol to her of a new life growing deep inside of her warm body.

He also was amazed by what he was hearing, before taking off the headphones, "Got three months more to go before we have a baby here".

Lilly leaned back, "That's it, I feel like I'm been pregnant for a hundred years. Plus I'm hungry and fat".

"You're not fat"

The blonde pointed to her swelling abdomen, "I even waddle like Nick, and I'm a cow John".

"You'll get over it Lil".

"Yeah, yeah you're just saying it because you want your skinny wife back".

John chuckled, as he got up to pay the delivery guy before handing her the bag. After closing the door he then sat down, "I didn't marry you for that reason; you know that"?

As the two dug into their meals, Lilly remained quiet before they spotted that very same couple on TV; acting stupid. Plus the fact, her husband was acting as if he was fifteen age.

"Glad you're not sinking to that low".

"Wouldn't even try, but you're a better looking woman that she is", seeing how blue her eyes really were, as he then captured her lips.

Lilly smiled softly, before letting him feed her lovingly. However as far as names were concerned; the two still didn't know what quite to name it. Each day she was coming up with a new one; but down at the office the squad was pitching out more names.

None of them really had grabbed them, but John was very concerned that Lilly was overeating. Plus the fact she was craving even odder stuff; to the point that she went in for another checkup. This time he went with her; knowing that their baby's health was very important.

During the sonogram, the doctor informed them that their baby was completely healthy and that Lilly's weight gain was normal and not over the limit. She then looked over at him, "You want to find out"? John shook his head, knowing that he still wanted it to be a surprise. This way the two could both be surprised on the day of its birth.

Afterwards, while Lilly was busying herself on the case; Scotty met John outside.

"Nervous about having a baby boss", he asked.

"I was before I had my daughter, but Lil's nervous about becoming a mother".

Scotty came closure, "Good thing you're already a pro at this; parenting stuff Boss. It's a good thing that this happened to Lil; she deserves to have kids".

John released a breath, but knew that he wasn't nervous as his wife. For that he was able to soothe her nerves later on that night; that would lead to more romance and quite possible a trip before the birth of their baby.
