It's the next morning and I wake up pretty early, mostly because even though Alex says his hip is alright, it still worries me. I try to go back to sleep multiple times, but no success. I sigh and lay there for a while before getting up. I rummage a bit and find some snacks to munch on since I'm feeling hungry. While I munch on the snacks, I look through my things for clothes to change into. Then I go into the bathroom and turn the shower on, still munching on the snacks as I wait for the water to heat up and while I get undressed. The water gets to the right temperature and I get in. After the shower, I step out and wrap the towel around myself. I dry myself off before unwrapping the towel from around myself and start to get dressed. After I was dressed, I get the blow dryer and dry my hair while styling it the way I want. I get done with that as I shut the dryer off, I hear Alex stirring. I unplug the dryer and leave it on the sink, grabbing my clothes and heading out of the bathroom.
"You're up early." Alex says sleepily.
"Couldn't sleep anymore."
"Baby or worrying about me?"
"...you."
Alex sighs and sits up, opening his arms for me. I set my clothes down before walking over and cimbing onto the bed, onto his lap where he wraps his arms around me.
"You can relax some love. I feel much better than I did and with the rehab I'm doing, it will be better soon." He kisses my head.
"Oh I know that, but still..."
"Is there anything I can do to help you feel better about this?"
"I don't know."
"How about going to one of our places and relaxing."
"I guess that would help a bit."
"We can do that. Where do you want to go?"
"Well for a shorter flight there's Florida."
"Sure." He agrees.
"You book a flight and I'll get dressed okay?"
"Okay." I nod.
I slide off his lap and then off the bed, going over to my things and getting my computer out. I sit back down on the bed as I turn it on. I log in and go to the site, booking the flight while Alex gets dressed and packs everything up for me. I shut the computer down after that, closing the screen and relaxing in my spot as I watch Alex pack. He gets done and walks over to me. He kisses me gently and rubs my stomach.
"Alright. At some point we'll have to go say bye to Windy and Mike."
"Right."
"Whenever you want to though."
"I know." I nod.
"So until then...anything you want to do?"
"Breakfast sounds good for now."
Alex nods and the two of us head out to get breakfast. In the meantime in Aly's bedroom, she and Mike are both still sleeping but she starts to stir a bit. She opens her eyes halfway and looks around, not ready to move just yet. That's when she feels a hand on her stomach and she looks down to see Mike's hand resting there, and he's cuddling into her side.
"Awwww." She says in her head, smiling softly.
She brings a hand up to his hair and runs her fingers through it gently, while she watches him sleep. She keeps doing this for a while, just savoring the quiet time. Of course the quiet time is broken, but not by Mike. It's broken by Savannah starting to move around and kick.
"Shh. Daddy's sleeping..." She murmurs, rubbing her stomach.
That of course doesn't stop her, and she keeps up with the moving around and kicking. She sighs and carefully moves away from Mike, trying not to wake him. She decides a soak in the tub sounds good and gets up, picking out her clothes to take into the bathroom with her. She turns the tub on, making sure the water is to her liking and she waits for the tub to fill up. In the meantime, she watches her stomach as Savannah continues moving.
"Another active day hmm Jellybean?" She says amusedly.
She kicks again, clearly answering her question.
"Thought so."
"Your activeness almost woke daddy up."
She kicks harder.
"Oof. I know you want Daddy up, but we're letting him sleep."
"He needs some sleep." She adds.
She kicks a little softer this time.
"He'll be up soon, I'm sure. Calm down."
Then once the tub is filled up, she shuts the water off and then gets undressed, stepping into the tub. She sits and stretches out, sighing as the water makes her feel more weightless. Savannah does keep kicking and moving around, but she's calmed down a bit than before.
"So much better." She mumbles, leaning her head back against the wall.
She does her best in trying not to fall asleep because it's so relaxing. She kind of dozes lightly, still aware of her surroundings mostly. She spends a pretty long time in the tub, before deciding to get out and dry off, and get dressed for the day. She carefully gets out and towel herself off. Then she starts putting her clothes on. The whole time though, Savannah was still moving around and everything but she was still calm as she was when she was in the water. She finishes dressing and starts to blowdry her hair. Once it's dry, she grabs everything and walks back into the room, Mike still sleeping soundly. She smiles softly and leans down, kissing his cheek lightly. She can still feel Savannah kicking just a bit, like she knows that he's still sleeping herself.
"Yes, daddy's still sleeping. You're gonna have to wait a while."
She kicks harder.
"Oh relax. You'll get your time with daddy." She murmurs as she moves away from Mike.
"But for now, how does breakfast sound to you?"
She kicks firmly and she laughs quietly.
"I figured."
She gets her shoes on and leaves a note for Mike, taking her phone, wallet, and keycard with her as she leaves the room. She heads down to the lobby, and decides to go into the hotel restaurant for breakfast. She goes up to the buffet and gets what she wants before paying and finding a place to sit. Of course she's not alone, because none other to walk in and spot her instantly of course was John. She doesn't notice until he walks up to the booth.
"Oh hey Sully." She smiles once she realizes he's there.
"What're you doing over here all alone?"
"Mike is sleeping and I got hungry." She shrugs.
"Ah, well you shouldn't be alone. I'll sit with you." He says, sitting down in the booth with her.
"I'm not helpless you know." She raises an eyebrow.
"Oh I know that, but if you don't want me to sit with you, I guess I can leave..."
"I didn't say you had to leave. I was just making a point."
"I know, I was only kidding. So what's up?"
"Nothing really. Just hungry and dealing with somebody who really wants daddy to wake up already."
"Awwwww."
"Almost woke him up too, she was kicking and moving so much."
"Someone loves their daddy a whole lot."
"Definitely." She nods, smiling softly.
"She wants her daddy's attention sicne he barely gave her any yesterday." She adds.
"Why's that?" John asks.
"Well...Mike and I had an argument after my doctor's appointment and we didn't talk or anything til the end of the night."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
"Everything's okay now though right?"
"Yeah. We're fine."
"That's good."
She nods and continues eating.
"So what else has been going on?"
"Nothing really..."
"But at least in almost two months, you'll get to see Savvy."
"Exciting." He grins.
"Mmhmm...very."
"I can't wait to hold her and see who she looks like." She says, smiling at her stomach.
"Who do you think she'll look like?"
"I don't know. I just hope she has his eyes. He is adamant that she's going to look like me."
"Aww."
"No matter what, I just want her to be healthy."
"Right, that's important."
She finishes eating and the two of them sit there, talking. Savannah starts up the hard kicks and the movement, wanting to leave to see if Mike us up yet.
"Ow ow ow. Alright, I hate to interrupt the fun conversation but somebody REALLY wants her daddy now."
"It's alright, I understand."
They both get up and she hugs him before heading back upstairs to the room. Mike is completely awake now, sitting up and watching tv as she walks in.
"Your daughter has been kicking up a storm because she wants her daddy."
Mike chuckles with a smile. She kicks off her shoes and puts down her things before climbing on the bed.
"And when I say kicking, I mean kicking. She kicked so hard earlier it kind of hurt."
"She wants her daddy time, badly." She murmurs as she sits close to him and leans in, nuzzling his cheek.
"Awww...well I'm sorry I wasn't awake." He says, rubbing her stomach.
"She calmed down for a while when I took a soak in the tub and then went for breakfast but she started back up again, stronger this time."
"Well now she can have that daddy time."
"And after that...I think it should be mommy and daddy time."
"I like that idea."
She smiles and kisses him gently before pulling up her shirt enough to uncover her belly. She gets comfortable against the pillows as Mike moves down by her stomach. As soon as he does start talking to her and everything, the kicking starts to calm down to the point where she's comfortable again. She sighs in content and closes her eyes.
"Better?"
"Much."
"Good."
She makes a noise, starting to doze off a bit. He continues to talk to Savannah, giving her all his attention. Aly falls asleep for a bit while he does that, but after a while she starts to stir as she feels a pressure on her lips. As she wakes up more, she realizes Mike is kissing her and she starts kissing back. He shifts and moves his hands so that they're resting on her sides. She reaches up and cups his face with her hands gently.
"Tired?" He asks, pulling away for a brief moment.
"Not anymore."
"Well that's good." He grins.
She giggles and brushes her lips against his.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
"So...what are we going to do today?" She asks.
"Well, that's totally up to you. I don't think we need to stay in Mexico since we have nothing planned this week."
"True. Hmm...oh! What about going to the Vegas house?"
"We could do that."
"Go shopping for furniture..."
"That could be fun."
"Mmhmm." She giggles.
"Vegas it is then."
"I'll book the flight if you pack." She bargains with him.
"Alright." He nods.
"I just need my computer."
"I will get it for you." He says, getting off the bed and going over to her things.
He grabs her computer and brings it to her.
"Thank you babe." She kisses his lips.
"You're welcome."
She boots up the computer and gets started while Mike begins to pack their things.
"I should let Dolce know where we're going." She says once she books the flight.
Once she says that, there's a knock on the door.
"Probably them." Mike says and she nods.
She sets her computer aside and gets up and goes over to the door, opening it. Sure enough, it's me and Alex. She lets us in and Alex shuts the door as she goes back to sit on the bed.
"What's up?" She smiles.
"Wel I just wanted to stop by and tell you something."
"Okay..."
"In about an hour or so, Alex and I are heading home...Florida."
"Oh okay. That's cool. We're going home to Vegas ourselves.
"Oooh fun."
"Yeah, we're going to go furniture shopping and everything."
"That'll be fun."
"I know."
"He can't wait to test out everything." She giggles, motioning towards Mike.
He smirks, making Alex and I laugh.
"Have fun with that."
"Oh we will." Mike says.
"Okay, so I guess we'll talk to you later then."
"I want hugs." She holds her arms out.
I grin and walk over, hugging her.
"Take care of yourself, Bear, and DC alright?" She hugs me and then pats my stomach.
"I will." I nod.
"Same to you." I add.
She smiles and nods as she pulls back.
"I'll call you when we get home...if you're not on the plane to Vegas that is."
"Just leave a message if we don't pick up."
"I will do that."
I put a hand on her belly.
"You missed it, she was going crazy all morning because she wanted her daddy and he wasn't up yet." She says.
"Awwww."
"She's sleeping now, she had her daddy time."
"Which is what she clearly really wanted." Mike adds.
"Of course." I laugh.
"Daddy's girl for sure."
"Oh I know." Aly giggles.
"Just like Bear's already attached to DC." She adds.
I laugh and Alex grins widely.
"It sure seems like that." I nod.
I go hug Mike while Alex goes over to her for his hug.
"You have fun with the furniture shopping."
"We will. Have fun relaxing."
"I'll try the best I can with relaxing."
"Right."
Then we pull away from the hug, and so does Aly and Alex.
"We'll talk to you later then." I say as I walk over and take Alex's hand.
"Yup. Bye guys, have a safe flight."
"You too."
Then Alex and I leave. Mike finishes packing and walks over to stand by her legs.
"All done?"
"All done." He confirms.
"Good. We have about a couple hours before we have to leave."
"So what shall we do to pass the time?" She asks.
"Hmmm, well what would you like to do?"
"I'm not really sure..."
"I think I have an idea." He smirks.
"Oh? Well, do share."
"Well I think instead of telling you, I'll just show you."
"...okay..."
First of all, he grabs her computer since she had shut it off already and he puts that over by her things. Then he walks bck over to the bed and sits down on it behind her. He plays with her hair for a bit before moving it out of the way slightly and then he leans in slowly and presses his lips gently to her neck.
"Mmm...good idea..." She murmurs, tilting her head.
"...thought so..." He replies.
She makes a soft noise and puts her hands on her stomach, her eyes closing as he continues. He starts teasing her a bit by kissing behind her ear and acting like he's going to head for that sensitive spot, but he moves right back up to behind her ear instead. A small frsutrated sigh escapes her, though she keeps leaning into his touch.
"Relax..." He mumbles against he skin.
She inhales and exhales slowly while letting her body sink into his, letting him support her.
"No marks though, the tons you gave me last time are just starting to fade." She tells him.
"I won't." Mike chuckles.
Then he goes back to pressing kisses along her neck. She makes soft noises as usual. As he kisses along one side of her neck, avoiding the sensitive spot there, he brushes his fingers along the other side of her neck, but making sure to brush them along the sensitive spot there. Her breath catches and a muffled moan makes him smirk.
"...and I only brushed my fingers across that..."
"...you know...I'm...more sensitive..."
"Oh...I know."
"...tease..." She mumbles.
"..you love it.."
"Mmm."
"And it's fun for me."
"I know."
"But I figured I do that instead of kissing there because that'll lead to marks."
"...true..."
"But if that's what it takes..." He trails off, brushing his fingers over the spot again.
She tries to hold it in but she still ends up moaning anyway.
"Face it...you can't hold that in."
"Can try."
"But you shouldn't hold it in though."
"Because you like it."
"Exactly."
"...we'll see."
"Uh huh..."
Mike continues for a while until she gets worked up enough to turn so her side is against his chest and she kisses him solidly. He kisses back just as much and it doesn't take long before the kiss starts to get heated. It turns into a heated french kiss and they find themselves lost in the moment. They take brief breaks for air but otherwise spend the rest of thet ime kissing until her phone alarm goes off, letting them know it's time to leave for the airport.
"Aww time to go already."
"You'll live. It's been hours." She giggles.
"True..."
"I'm sure my lips are a little bruised and puffy anyway." She laughs, nuzzling his cheek.
"Yeah, just a bit." He chuckles.
"We should get going though. We don't want to be late."
"Right." He nods.
They get up and gather everything, taking it down to the car. Then they head to the airport, parking and getting their things. Having someone take the car back to the rental place before they head inside. They check in their luggage and go through the security line before heading to their gate.
"Security is such a pain. I know they are being safe for everyone's own good but it is not fun to get my shoes on and off quickly enough for people behind us." She grumbles.
"I know, but we have to go through it every time."
"I know." She mutters.
"But at least we're through that."
"Right."
They sit down in the seats by the gate and wait for the plane to arrive. She leans over into Mike, rubbing her stomach. Soon the plane arrives and they open the gate, people walking in. After a bit of time they start boarding their flight. They get seated easily.
"First class huh?" Mike looks at her.
"More room, more comfort, and less contact with people who might be sick." She replies.
"Oh yeah...that's true."
"Immune systems are low in pregnant women, its the body's way of protecting the baby because otherwise the body would attack the baby." She remarks.
"Ohh."
"So it basically means I'm more likely to get sick. Me getting sick isn't good for me or miss Jellybean."
"No, we can't have that."
"So being in first class is better for the most part."
"Right."
She snuggles into Mike's shoulder while they wait. She actually ends up falling asleep. In the meantime, Alex and I have already landed in Florida and we're driven to our house in a taxi. After we pull up to the house, we get out and grab our things, paying the taxi driver and heading to the front door. I unlock the door and we walk inside.
"Home." I smile.
"And we're here all week. Possibly through the weekend." Alex adds.
"Good."
"I don't think I'll be missed much if we miss one pay-per-view." I add.
"I think you will, but you deserve the rest." Alex kisses my head.
"So do you."
"We deserve alone time anyway."
"Yes, we do." I nod.
I kiss him gently and then Alex takes the bags to the bedroom. I follow him because since it's warmer and I figured I'd change out of what I changed into after I woke up and showered this morning. So I go into the dresser drawers until I find clothes to change into, just changing right there in the room. Alex watches with a small smirk, his eyes roaming over me.
"Enjoy yourself?" I ask, giggling as I see him looking at me as I turn around after changing.
"Definitely."
"I thought so."
"So, anything in mind?" He asks.
"Well don't you have to go through the whole rehab thing for your hip? Like the weight lifting and everything? I'd feel a lot better if you got all that done first. No need to drive to the gym though because of the weight room here."
"Alright, that's fine." He agrees.
"And yes I'll be alright by myself for however long you're gonna be in there. Plus if I get lonely I can always come see how you're doing."
"Okay." Alex nods and kisses me, rubbing my bump gently before he changes into workout clothes and heads into the weight room.
I walk out of the bedroom and go around the house opening all the curtains, shades and windows, and the back door. The smell of the ocean comes in through the windows and the door. Then I start to get hungry so I go into the kitchen and look in the fridge for something. I find some things to eat and sit in the living toom to watch some TV. After I had finished what I had eaten, not too long after that I feel the flutters from Bear again.
"I knew you'd agree with the food." I laugh.
I put my hands on my stomach and smile.
"But that's only half the reason you're moving around. You most likely want daddy. Daddy's busy with getting better."
"You'll get plenty of time with daddy, I promise." I add.
"We'll see him in a little bit, I promise." I continue.
I pat my bump reassuringly. After a while of sitting and relaxing while watching tv, that's when I decide to get up and head down to the weight room where Alex is. I find him immersed his workout. I bite my lip at seeing him work his muscles. After I realize that I'm staring for far too long and remember the reason why I came down, I shake any thoughts out of my head and continue my way into the room. That's when Alex realizes I'm there.
"Hey love." He greets me.
"Hey. Someone wants you..."
"Is that so." He smiles.
"Well half of the reason why I'm feeling the flutters anyway."
"And the other half?"
"Bear is reacting to the food I ate."
"I told Bear about having daddy time later..."
"Of course." He agrees.
"How's the workout going?"
"Good. Feeling better."
"That's good. Gonna need the ice like I have been getting you after each workout?"
"Maybe yeah."
"Alright, I'll get that all ready when I head back to the kitchen."
Then I go quiet and my eyes start wandering. Alex notices and smirks.
"Like what you see?"
"Huh?" I snap out of it.
He repeats his question with a chuckle.
"That obvious huh?"
"Yeah." He laughs.
"I can't help it. You know my crazy hormones."
"Uh huh...suuure...hormones." He smirks.
"Whatever you say love." He snickers.
"It is. Do you know what it's taking me to not jump you right now?"
He raises an eyebrow and I glance at his hip.
"I would have jumped you by now if it weren't for your injury." I add.
"It sucks that we can't do much because of that."
"Yeah..."
"It's gonna be a long week."
"Definitely."
"But at least we can still do this..." I trail off, leaning down and pressing my lips to his, kissing him a bit longer than I did earlier.
He reaches up and holds my face, kissing back harder. I try to pull away but he still holds me there. I do manage to pull away eventually, but he's still holding my face as I pull away.
"I love you." He says, seriousness written all over his face.
"I love you too." I say back.
"Well I'll go back out to the living room now. I hope I haven't made you distracted."
"You're fine. I don't mind a little interruption if it's from my beautiful wife."
"Awwww." I smile.
I kiss him again, before leaving the weight room. I go out into the kitchen and get the ice bag all set up for him for when he finishes in the weight room, leaving it in the freezer. Then I go back out into the living room and stretch out on the couch with my hands resting on my stomach as I relax. I rub my stomach absentmindedly while watching TV. I do start to doze off, only because of the flight. I end up napping for a bit, before waking up to noise in the kitchen. I sit up and then see Alex walking out into the living room with the ice bag I had put together for him. He see me looking drowsy.
"Did I wake you? Sorry love."
"Oh it's okay. I just dozed off for a bit."
"Ah."
"Still a little jetlag."
"Gotcha." He nods, sitting by me.
"You could've stayed sleeping though, I know you need rest." He adds.
"I'm alright."
"Okay." He nods.
He maneuvers so the ice bag is on the sore spot.
"You know, even though you aren't in the weight room anymore, you are still pretty distracting...like always."
Alex chuckles.
"I think we established that a while back."
"True..."
"...but I'm telling you, it's these out of whack hormones." I add.
"I know." He laughs.
"Can't say that I don't like it." He adds.
"Of course not." I giggle.
"You just love that I'm basically all over you..." I trail off, scooching closer and starting to do teasing touches.
"...maybe..."
"Maybe huh?"
"Okay, so I do."
"Thought so."
"Right..."
Then I lay my head on his shoulder and nuzzle his neck. He leans his head against mine.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
"But since you're clearly being distracting, that means I can too." I grin.
"I suppose."
"You don't sound too thrilled, usually you are just a little bit." I say, lifting my head from his shoulder...my mood suddenly changing.
"I'm fine love. Go ahead. I was teasing."
"It didn't sound like it."
"I'm teasing. Honest." He looks in my eyes.
"I believe you but maybe later, I'm not really in the mood anymore right now."
"Alright. Whatever you feel like."
Then I turn my head towards the tv screen and watch it, staying unusually quiet.
"Carebear...I'm sorry for teasing you love." Alex murmurs, placing kisses on the side of my face, on my neck, and on my shoulder.
"...you have to be careful with what you say and how you say it. I can easily take it the wrong way."
"I know, I know. I screwed up. I'm sorry."
"Don't be mad...please..." He adds
He continues kissing my skin and murmuring sorry. I sigh and start to calm down, going back to my normal self and lean into his touches. He turns my head towards him and kisses me lovingly. When he does pull away, I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him.
"I told you my hormones are crazy." I mumble.
"I know love."
"I'm sorry. I feel horrible."
"Its alright."
"You shouldn't feel horrible, you can't control it."
"I know but still."
"I hate making you feel bad because of my moodswings."
"And I hate being the one to cause most of these moodswings."
"Don't blame yourself." I shake my head.
"That's what you're doing too love."
"Well it basically is my fault...it's my body, my crazy hormones..."
"You can't help the hormones. You're pregnant with our child. You're allowed to be emotional." Alex cups my face.
"It just flares up at the worst times."
"I know but don't blame yourself. It just happens."
I just nod and keep hugging him.
"I love you okay? No matter what." He says, leaning his head against mine.
"No matter what." I repeat.
He kisses me again. He puts as much love and compassion into the kiss than before. When he pulls away, the two of us snuggle and find a movie to watch.
With Aly and Mike, they've landed in Vegas and stepped off the plane and into the airport. They go and get their things from baggage claim before heading out.
"We should probably get an actual care of our own first." Aly remarks.
"Yeah, that would be a good idea."
They get a taxi to take them there.
"Okay so either we get two cars or we get one and I get final say on what kind we choose." She says.
"Hmmm, how about just one car."
"Alright."
She and Mike go around looking at the cars to see which one they both like. they get a little help from a salesman and narrow down their choices. After looking at the narrowed down choices, they both decide on a car. They do all the paperwork and then take the keys, putting their things in the back before driving off to the house.
"After we go home, we can go out furniture shopping."
"Right." She nods.
"You're gonna enjoy that." She snickers.
Mike just smirks and squeezes her hand. She squeezes back and giggles. They soon get to the house and she pulls into the driveway.
"I'll take the stuff inside. You stay here." Mike says and she nods.
"Okay."
He gets out of the car, going into the back and grabbing both of their things, heading for the front door of the house. He goes in and takes everything to the master bedroom. Then he comes back out and gets back in the driver's seat, buckling up.
"Ready?" He looks at her.
"Ready." She smiles.
He pulls out of the driveway and they both head off to the furniture store. They go into one store and she laces her fingers with his as they roam around.
"Okay so what are we looking for first?"
"Hmm...our bedroom stuff I think."
"Alright, let's go to the bedroom stuff."
They wander over and look at each set.
"Hmmm, I like this one...let's try it out."
"Okay." She agrees.
"You first." He says.
She carefully gets on the bed and lays down.
"So how is it?"
"It's comfy. These sheets are itchy though so when we get good sheets, it'll be better."
"Your turn." She says as she gets off the bed.
"Well?" She asks once he lays down.
"It is comfy."
"So should we get this?"
"Yeah, let's get this."
"Okay." She nods and writes the info down on a little notepad.
"Onto the next."
"What should we pick out next?" She asks.
"Let's stick to the bedroom furniture for now. We have a dresser and everything to pick out."
"Okay."
They head off to the area where all the dressers are next. They look for a bit before finding one they like. She writes that info down as well before they make their way through the rest of the bedroom furniture. Then they move onto the area with the living room furniture.
"I'm thinking microsuede." She says, running her hand over a chair made of that material.
"Okay." He nods.
They wander through the living room sets until they get to a nice microsuede couch/loveseat/recliner set.
"Oooh."
She goes right over and sits down on the couch.
"Come sit."
"Alright." Mike chuckles, sitting by her.
"So what do you think?" She asks.
"This is very nice."
"I like it. I love how soft it is."
"That's true...it is soft."
She stretches out and leans into him.
"Oh yeah. This is a great couch."
"So this one it is then..."
"Yes. I'm still trying out the other pieces anyway."
"Alright." He nods.
She gets up and goes to the recliner, patting the spot next to her while smiling at Mike. He smiles back and walks over, sitting with her int he recliner.
"Perfect fit." She smiles.
"That's good.'
"Now for the loveseat."
He gets up and moves onto the loveseat, along with her.
"Oh, it rocks!" She remarks as it moves.
"So it does." He chuckles.
Then they discover that one side can rock while the other reclines.
"Awesome." She grins.
Mike laughs. After sitting for a while she gets up and wriets down everything on the notepad.
"Next?" She asks.
"Well what do we have left?"
"Kitchen/dining room, nursery, the spare bedrooms..."
"Hmm let's get the kitchen and dining room done next."
"Okay."
They leave the living room furniture and head to the kitchen/dining room area. They pick that stuff and write it down. Then they do the spare rooms before going to the baby section.
"You're gonna go crazy here aren't you?" She giggles.
"Maybe but she deserves to be spoiled just like you."
"Awwww."
She smiles and kisses his cheek.
"Okay. So remember, her room here is pink, black, and zebra print."
"Right, got it."
"I do insist on getting a glider rocking chair though."
"Well let's go find that first."
"Sure." She agrees as they find the chairs.
"Hmmm..." She says as she looks through the choices.
She tries out a few and doesn't like those. Then she wanders over a bit and tries out another.
"Ah...much better." She smiles, putting her feet on the ottoman and just rocking back and forth.
"You look comfortable." He smiles.
"I am. This is nice."
"Good."
"You can go look if you want. I'm quite happy staying here for a few minutes."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, I'm just fine." She smiles.
"Alright. Want me to take the paper and write down what I find?"
"Sure." She nods, handing it to him.
"Okay, I'll go find everything." He grins, leaning down and kissing her briefly.
"Mmm...love you." She smiles.
"Love you too."
"And I love you..." He moves down to her stomach.
"She loves you too daddy."
"Daddy will be right back, after he finds your things."
There's a soft kick and they both smile.
"Looksl ike she wants you to go find them."
"That or she's saying for you to hurry up." She adds with a laugh.
"Then I should get going now." He chuckles.
She nods and he goes off. She sits in the chair rubbing her stomach absentmindedly as she talks to Savannah, keeping herself occupied while Mike was off finding the nursery stuff. By the time he comes back, she's switched to humming.
"Hey, we're all set now."
"Good. I think that anything else can wait. We need to get this stuff sorted and go to the store before I get too tired."
"Right."
They go and find the registers. They order everything and set up the delivery times. Then they leave and head to the store.
"We obviously need food but I think otherwise we should just get what we need to make the most necessary rooms functional for today and tonight. Tomorrow is another day."
"Of course."
They get into the store and decide to do all the other shopping first before they do the food. After all that is done and the food shopping is done, they head home. They get everything unloaded and put it where it needs to go just before the furniture guys come. They bring the living room stuff off the truck first and Aly and Mike tell them where they want it. Then they bring in the other stuff and they direct them. After everything is in place in each room, they both thank them. They reply and then leave. She goes and sprawls out on the couch with a blanket.
"Ahh, comfy."
She makes a noise of content, snuggling into the cushions.
"Are you forgetting your pillow?" He chuckles.
"Not really because I was going to ask you to get me something to eat. I'm tired but I know I should eat first."
"Alright, well what would you like?"
"Surprise me."
"Okay." He nods, going out into the kitchen.
He fixes something and brings it to her. She tahnks him and eats. Once she finishes, she curls up with her head in his lap and the blanket spread over her.
"You can sleep now if you want."
"Mmkay." She mumbles, starting to doze off.
