A/N: Just a short fluffy chapter.


Bright sunlight was streaming in through the windows, diffused slightly by the white drapes on the windows. The light stirred a still sleeping Josh into semi-wakefulness. With a groan he rolled over, away from the light and threw an arm over his face grumpily. He blindly reached his other arm across the bed, searching for Donna. When his hand could only find empty space, he opened one eye (as the sun wouldn't permit him to open both) and propped himself up on an elbow. He glanced at Donna's empty spot on the bed for a moment before searching the rest of the room.

He quickly spotted her standing in front of the full-length mirror they had set up in the corner.

"Donna," Josh muttered sleepily. "Come back to bed." His head landed back on the pillow with a soft thunk.

When Donna didn't reply, he looked up again. Donna was staring intently at her reflection in the mirror. Josh rubbed at his eyes and waited a few moments for his eyes to focus. Then he noticed what Donna was staring at. There was a soft swell to Donna's belly causing her tank top to ride up just enough to show about an inch of skin. Josh sat up. She had a hand resting underneath it.

"Whoa." Josh said aloud. Donna turned to look at him with a brilliant smile. Josh quickly moved to get out of bed; he swung his legs over the side and stood up. Unbeknownst to Josh though, the bed sheets had come with him as he swung his legs over the side of the bed and when he tried to take a step, he immediately came crashing down hard to the wood flooring.

Donna tried her best to quell her laughter, but was failing miserably.

"Oww," Josh called out from the floor dramatically. She made her way over to him and giggled more. Josh was completely tangled up in the sheet and his arms were sprawled up above his head. He made no move to try and untangle himself.

"Hi," he said shortly when Donna appeared above him. Donna was still laughing at him. Josh reached a hand up and gently tugged on Donna's. She followed his lead and sat down next to him. With some effort, he finally untangled himself from the sheet and sat up straight with only a small wince.

"How you've made it this far is beyond me," Donna said simply. Josh gave her a sarcastic look, but then his eyes travelled down to her belly. Which sitting down, looked even more pronounced. Josh's eyes lit up.

"Where did that come from?" he asked her, wonder in his voice. Donna sat back on her hands and let Josh reach out a hand to touch her belly. After a moment, Donna broke the silence.

"You know, I was going to ask you the same question," Donna said, her voice dry.

"What?" Josh looked up at her confused; he then followed her eye line to his own stomach and immediately rolled his eyes. In the debacle with the bed sheet, Josh's grey t-shirt had ridden up in much the same manner that Donna's had.

"Are you really going to ruin this moment by lecturing me about my diet right now," Josh asked, annoyance dripping with every word. Donna laughed again.

"It's cute, people will call it sympathy weight now," she said, eyes shining with mirth.

"You're evil," Josh smirked. Without warning, he gabbed her by the sides and pulled her closer before ferociously tickling her. Donna, being extremely ticklish, squirmed wildly and started pounding on Josh's arms. Josh let go quickly with a wild grin on his face and Donna shot backwards defensively, still smiling. They sat there for a moment laughing at each other before Josh spoke up.

"Let me see," he told her, his face a picture of warm affection. He was reaching out his hands towards her. Donna scooted forward across the wood floors and lifted up her tank top fully to reveal a small, but very prominent bump. Josh smiled wide as he placed his hands on her stomach.

"There's a baby in there," he said simply, a goofy grin on his face. Donna laughed again, her cheeks starting to ache.

"And people say you don't pay attention."

"I'll tickle you again, I swear to god, Donna," Josh threatened. Donna put her hand up to her mouth and made the tell tale gesture for silence by locking a pretend key and throwing it away.

"All I've wanted for like, 10 years," Josh said lightly and Donna pushed him backwards.

"You know," she started as she stood up. "I really hope the baby gets my hair." Josh let out a laugh.

"Low blow, Donnatella." Donna smiled at him as she made her way to the bathroom. Josh dutifully followed. He leaned in the door jam as he watched her get ready. Donna glanced at him and couldn't help the warm feeling that spread through her chest. She actually adored Josh's hair in the morning. When it was all over the place and stuck out at funny angles.

"I wouldn't mind if the baby got your curls though," she told him. Josh ran a hand through his hair and grabbed a handful.

"They're a pain in the ass," he muttered.

"They're cute," Donna replied simply.

"So I haven't completely gone to seed then?" Josh asked, crossing his arms.

"No," Donna said slowly. "Not completely." Josh rolled his eyes at her.

"I bought you one of those 'What to Expect' books for you, by the way. The dad version," Donna told him as she started brushing her teeth. She'd had her assistant go out and buy the books yesterday. One for her and one for Josh.

"Oh," Josh said, a little suspicious. "Okay."

"You need to read the book, Joshua," Donna told him sternly, her toothbrush was hanging out of her mouth loosely now as she fiddled with her phone for a moment.

"Am I the one carrying the baby?"

Donna turned to look at him, eyes drifting to his stomach again, before shrugging.

"Debatable."

"Alright, I'll cut back on the donuts!" he said exasperatedly. He self consciously put a hand to the small paunch he had slightly poking out from his shirt before tugging the shirt down forcefully. Donna laughed and shook her head as she finished brushing her teeth.

"Read the book, Josh." Donna turned away towards the medicine cabinet.

"I'll read the book," he told her seriously. He walked towards her and caught her by surprised as he put his hands on either side of her waist. He nuzzled her neck lightly before muttering. "I love you." After a beat. "Even though you're mean to me."

Donna turned and kissed him hard before moving away. "I love you too." She patted his belly affectionately as she made her way past him and out of the bathroom.

"Donna it's way less cute when you do that to me than when I do it to you," he said with a whine before following after her.


Thanks again to everyone who has reviewed and said kind things, I really appreciate it :) Josh starts reading the baby books in the next chapter and becomes very... Josh about it.
