One Month Later…

Cal looked around the house and could not believe the amount of pink that adorned the living room. He hadn't seen this much pink since Zoe had had her baby shower before Emily was born. And soon enough, that much pink would adorn the guest room as well, but for right now it was just the living room for Gillian's baby shower. Cal thought twenty-five weeks was a little early, but Gillian had insisted on having it before Emily left for college.

"Enough pink for you Dad?" asked Emily coming down with some 'It's a Girl' balloons.

Cal chuckled and shook his head, "There will be no mistake on what the gender is. Where do you want me to go when the party starts?"

Emily turned around to face her father, "You aren't staying?"

"Well, aren't these showers ladies only events?" asked Cal.

"Traditionally but they don't have to be," said Emily, "Come on Dad! Baby girl Lightman wants Daddy at her special party! And you'll be alone at work because Loker and Reynolds are coming."

"Seriously?" asked Cal.

"And my parents and brother," said Gillian slowly making her way down the stairs.

"Oh wow, I didn't know that many people were coming. Who else?" asked Cal.

"Ria, Heidi, and then that's about it," Emily shrugged.

"Oh well, since it seems small, I guess I'll stay," said Cal.

"Yeah," Emily cheered and wrapped her arms around her father, Thanks Dad!"

"You're welcome love," he answered and kissed her on her forehead. He sauntered over to Gillian, "Well what do you say love?"

"I say it's time to get wild and party," she joked when the family heard a knock at the door.

Cal went to answer the door, "Alright who's ready to celebrate my future niece!"

"Clearly you are Tim," chuckled Cal.

"How are you Cal?" asked Joyce Foster, Gillian's mother.

"Just fine," said Cal.

"Hey Mom, Dad, Tim," said Gillian.

"Hey how's my little Gilly Billy?" asked Mike, Gillian's father.

"Gilly Billy? Really?" chuckled Emily trying not to bust out laughing.

"It's either that or Gilly Bean because of my sweet tooth," said Gillian to her step-daughter.

"Well, then can I start calling you Gilly Bean?" asked Loker coming into the house with Ria behind him, both with gift bags in their hands.

"Loker, if you ever call me Gilly Bean at work…" threatened Gillian deadpan. Loker knew the answer was 'No or you'll be fired.' Reynolds chuckled lightly as he entered along with Heidi.

Gillian took a deep breath, "Mom, Dad, Tim, you all know Cal and his daughter, Emily. This is Eli Loker, Ria Torres, Ben Reynolds, and Heidi. Guys, this is my mother Joyce, my father, Mike, and my brother Tim."

"And this is my baby sister Gilly Bean," smirked Tim.

"My annoying, sarcastic brother, Tim," Gillian added.

"Nice to meet you all," said Ria.

"So, the girls have been doing all the planning, what's on the agenda?" asked Cal.

"To tell you the truth, this is my first baby shower," said Tim, "We always thought Gill would never be able to conceive."

"It was a pleasant surprise for all of us," said Cal.

"Well we have some games planned, there's cake and of course presents," said Emily.

"And since we haven't given her a name yet, we thought we could have a naming contest," chimed in Gillian.

"Sounds like you all worked hard," said Joyce and nodded towards her daughter's swell, "May I?"

Gillian nodded and Joyce laid her hand against Gillian's abdomen, smiling when she felt a not so gentle kick from her granddaughter. Mike and Tim also asked to feel the baby kick. The party goers played some games like guessing what day the baby would be born and her length and weight. They also played silly games that Gillian, Emily, and Ria had come up with, mainly to watch Cal, Loker, and Tim make fools of themselves, such as trying to play Twister with pillows and fanny packs filled with wrist weights strapped to their fronts. Cal was the first to fall flat on his face.

"Gill, if pictures of this event end up on Facebook, I will make you do pay roll for the rest of the year," said Cal embarrassed unstrapping the fanny pack and pillows.

"Now you know how it feels to carry a basketball on the front of you," chuckled Gillian and kissing him. When Ria won the game, everyone decided it was time for some cake. Everyone took pictures of Cal and Gillian cutting the cake together, much like they had pictures of them cutting their wedding cake together. The cake read 'Oh Baby! It's Girl!' in pink letters of course. Everyone gathered in the living room to eat and watch Gillian open the gifts either for the baby or for Cal and herself.

"I know this is probably a stupid question…" said Tim.

"Knowing you, probably," smirked Gillian sitting down on the couch next to Cal.

"Oh burn," said Emily.

"You think you're funny," said Tim, "But how far along are you? I tend to lose track."

"Twenty-five weeks," responded Gillian. Tim nodded. Gillian proceeded to open the many bottles, packs of diapers, toys, bibs, blankets, stuffed animals, and mobiles for the baby. Ria also bought the expectant parents an Outback gift card and a "coupon" for a night of babysitting. Everyone had also pitched in for a stroller and Tim had to buy his niece a baby Capitals jersey.

"Really Tim?" asked Gillian raising her eyebrows.

"Hey you got to start them young," said Tim innocently. The last thing everyone did was put their name ideas into the bowl as they headed out the door.

"When will we find out the name?" asked Mike.

"Whichever one Cal and I like best, we'll let everyone know that's her name," said Gillian.

"Alright. Goodnight Gilly Billy," said Mike hugging her.

"I love you sweetheart," said Joyce embracing her as well, "And of course my granddaughter.

"See you sis," said Tim, "Don't let my niece have too much fun," he grinned.

Gillian rolled her eyes, "Tell her yourself. I swear she does somersaults in my uterus."

"I think we have a future gymnast on our hands," said Cal.

Everyone left and Emily faced Cal, "So that wasn't too bad was it Dad?"

"No love. Actually it was pretty fun," responded Cal, "Other than my parents-in-law, my brother-in-law, my wife, my daughter, and my employees watching me make an arse of myself."

"Well I guess I should go upstairs and start packing," said Emily.

"Love, you don't move in for another month," said Cal.

"I know but it'll take me that long to pack," said Emily, "Night Dad, night Gill, night, Madison."

"Who said that was her name?" asked Cal though Emily was already halfway up the stairs.

Gillian chuckled and turned to face her husband, "Clearly we'll know which name she came up with."

"You think?" he laughed sauntering over to his wife admiring her in her mint green dress and black sweater, "You know how beautiful you look right now?"

"You know that for a human lie detector, you're a terrible liar?" asked Gillian.

Cal kissed her softly and then pulled away, looking into her blue eyes, "what do you say love? Do you want to see if Emily has chosen the right name or someone else has?"

Gillian smiled, "That and then I have some other ideas."

Cal grinned, "Well then we better name her quickly then so we can do that too don't we Dr. Lightman."

"You bet," she said. The couple sat down and went through the baby names, spending a good deal of time arguing before deciding on the one they liked best. Gillian stood to go upstairs but turned back around to face Cal, "You better not be far behind."

Cal watched his wife sway her hips upstairs, though her sway was slowly turning into a waddle. Either was she was still so damn sexy, "All of those pregnancy hormones have one advantage. Because she's gotten bloody good a seducing me," said Cal to himself as he eagerly followed Gillian.
