"Good morning baby," Daddy said taking a sip from his coffee. I smile and take a seat in my pink cushion chair. I sigh and play with my nails nervously. "Can I ask you a question?" I asked. He chuckles and shakes his head. "You just did," He said. I smile slightly and look down. "No really daddy," I mumble biting my lip.

"Yeah go ahead," He said frowning.

"So as you know I'm 22 weeks along and that means I only have at least 15 more weeks pregnant," I said. I tuck some hair behind my ears and chew on my tongue. "We need to start preparing for the baby, I mean literally we don't even have a single shirt for the baby," I said rubbing my stomach.

"I know Willow, but listen we have nowhere to put the baby, you're room not big enough to fit a crib and we can't have the baby sharing rooms with your brother," He said. "And the clothes we don't even know the baby's gender." He said.

"You don't need to know a baby's gender to buy clothes, I saw a baby once wear the cutest pink dress with ruffles and the baby was a boy," I said shrugging.

"I guess it is the twenty-first century and we do need clothes and stuff," He sighs and runs his hand through his hair. "Okay, we'll start shopping after work today," He said taking a sip from his mug. I smile broadly and pull on my sweatshirt. "Thank you, daddy," I said biting my lip happily.

"Good morning, dad," Levi said jumping into the room.

"My future graduate," Daddy said with his arms wide. Levi laughs and walks into daddy's open arms. "I can't you'll be graduating next week," Daddy said hugging Levi tightly. Levi chuckles and pulls away from the hug. "You weren't this excited when Carter graduated," He said.

Daddy looks around and brings his finger to his lips. "That's because you're not going to a performing art school and study art, you're going to yale to be a psychologist." He said smiling big. "You'll have more money did I ever have," He said smiling big.

"Yeah I know all that studying actually paid off," Levi said rolling his eyes. Daddy punches his shoulder lightly. "Go make breakfast kid," He said taking a sip from his coffee. "We're hungry," He mumbles.

Levi rolls his eyes but doesn't argue.

I smile and look at Daire as he walks into the room. He groans and kisses my lips. "Graham, can I stay home today?" He asked scratching the back of his neck. "I don't feel well," He said running his hand through his messy hair. I bite my lip and rub his arm. "Are you okay?" I asked. He shakes his head and holds his stomach. "I have a horrible stomach ache and my head hurts like crazy," He said.

"You wanna take a sick day?" He asked taking another sip from his coffee.

Daire nods and sits down. "Please," He groans running his hands down his face.

Daire sighs and places his empty cup in the sink. "Yeah sure but do your work, I really want you to graduate, so you can get a real job and take care of your family," He said rubbing his shoulder. Daddy turns to Levi who is making oatmeal in a pot. "Levi will be going to Yale, where are you going for college?"

Daire shrugs. "I'm not going," He mumbles.

Daddy nods his head and sits down when Levi places a bowl in front of him. "Well that's fine," He said stirring his oatmeal around. "I didn't go to college and I'm living decent," He said taking a bite from his oatmeal.

"I'm going to go back to bed," Daire said standing up. He kisses my forehead before walking out of the kitchen.

After a few minutes, daddy finishes his oatmeal and checks his watch. His eyes widen when he realizes the time. "Okay boys, I have to get to work and you two need to get to school." He said placing his dirty bowl in the sink. "Carter you're going to have to drive Levi, I have an important client in about 20 minutes."

He walks over and kisses my forehead and ruffles Levi's hair. "See you guys around 9 so, Carter make dinner, love you all," He yells from the doorway before walking out of the house.

"You'll be okay here, right Willy?" Carter asked grabbing his shoes and car keys. I nod my head and bite my lip. "I'll be fine, I'm going to take care of Daire," I said standing up and walking to the sink. I turn on the faucet and start washing the dishes. "Okay, Will, see you later," He said kissing my forehead and walking away. I smile at Levi as he kisses my cheek. "Bye Willy," He said before following behind Carter.

Two hours later I was sitting on my bed beside a knock-out Daire. He was snoring extra loud than he normally does. I was rubbing his feet as I watch The Notebook my all-time favorite romance movie.

I was so invested in the movie that I didn't hear the banging on the door until they started yelling. My eyes widen and I pause my movie and walk toward the living room slowly. I peek my head around the corner and look at the rattling door.

"Willow, open the door it's me, Ashlynn," She yells from the other side of the door.

I let out a breath of relief and walked toward the door. I open the door slightly and my eyes widen at the state of her. "Ash, oh my god what happened," I said grabbing her wrist and pulling her inside. "Are you okay?" I asked walking her towards the couch.

She sobs and wipes her eyes. "Cody, h-he broke up with me," She said wiping her eyes frantically. "H-h said he n-needed a break for a while to focus on his future plans since he's graduating this year," She said wrapping her arms around her body. She bites her lips to try and control the trembling lips.

"Ashlynn, here," I said handing her some tissues.

She wipes her eyes and looks at me in distress. "I mean before Cody I never really cared if some boy broke my heart." She said tucking her blonde hair behind her ear. "I would just shrug my shoulders and move on to the next guy. But then I met Cody and everything changed, I changed. And I wanted to spend every moment with him. He was the first and only boy I truly loved." She sobs and wipes her eyes. "And I don't know if I'm being in denial or it actually happened but when he broke up with me he refuse to look at me and when he did I saw tears in his eyes and his voice kept cracking." She bites her perfect red nails. "I mean it's like he didn't want to break up with me or I was just being crazy."

I place my hand on her shoulder and rub it. "It's okay, Ashlynn," I said biting my lip. "You know what makes me feel better when I'm down," I said standing up. "Baby shopping?" Ashlynn asked. I laugh and shake my head. "Yeah, but not that," I said walking towards the kitchen.

I walk over to the fridge and open it. I grab some ice cream and some spoons. I walk over to Ashlynn and hold up the ice cream. "Chunky chocolate ice cream," I giggled rushing over to her.

She laughs and grabs the ice cream from my hands but stops. "Let's go to your room, I don't wanna mess up your dad's couch, but I also want to be comfortable," She said standing up and removing her converse. I smile and stand up as well.

"You look great by the way," She said smiling back at me as she walked toward my room.

I smile and place my hand on my stomach.

"Woah, a half-naked boy is in your bed," Ashlynn said as she opens my door. I palm my face and groan. "I forgot, Daire's home today since he's not feeling well," I said tilting my head back in annoyance. "Sorry, we can go back to the couch dad won't mind," I said biting my lips.

Ashlynn shakes her head and walks into the room. "No, I wanna lay in your bed, we'll just move him a little, he won't mind sharing your bed," She said sitting down next to Daire. She places the ice cream beside her and opens my laptop. "Oo, the notebook, my favorite movie ever," She said scooting back towards the headboard.

I smile and shut the door behind me just as Betty walks in. She barks and crawls underneath my bed and stays there. I stroke her tail before climbing into the bed next to Ashlynn.

She hands me the ice cream and I pop it open and we start digging in.

"Willow, get up," Someone said shaking me awake. I hum and move my head towards the voice. I slowly open my eyes slowly and smile at Daire. "Darry, are you feeling better?" I asked sitting up and rubbing my eyes.

He grins forcibly and looks beside me. "Tell me why the hell Ashlynn is laying in our bed?" He asked tilting his head to the side. I copy his actions and tilt my head to the side as well. "Because she's going through something since Cody broke up with her," I said pouting. "And we had a lot of ice cream so we fell asleep," I said shrugging.

I decided to change the subject and place his hand over my stomach. "The baby's been kicking lately," I said squeezing his wrist. Daire smiles at me and looks down at my stomach. "Really can you make them move now?" He asked rubbing my stomach. "Yeah but I have to poke my stomach around," I said biting my lip. He smiles and begins poking my stomach.

"Ahh," I said when I felt the baby kick at the lower part of my stomach. Daire smiles largely at me and rubs my stomach. "Woah did you feel that?" He asked. I nod my head and smile at his smile. Who knew that a baby kicking can make this big boy smile like that.

Daire grabs the back of my head and brings my lips to his. But I pull away when an idea comes to my head.

"Oh my god Darry, isn't Levi graduating soon?" I asked. Daire looks at me strangely and slowly nods his head. I gasp and cover my mouth with my hand. "And he'll move out when he goes to Yale since it's in another state right?" I asked. "Yeah, baby, where are you going with this?" He asked. I smile big and grab onto his forearms. "We can turn Levi's room into a nursery," I said giggling.

Daire smiles at me and nods his head. "We can, but he's not starting school until late July and by then we won't have time to prepare for the baby," He said.

I pout and place my head in the palm of my hand.

"Dangit," I mumble under my breath.

"But we can when he moves out," He said stroking my hair. "But for the time being we'll have to make room for the baby in here and when Levi moves out we'll start decorating his room and move the baby in there. And hopefully, by late August, early September we'll have a beautiful nursery for our baby." He said placing his hand on my stomach.

I smile and nod my head.

"But I am 20 weeks along," I mumble playing with his shorts. "So maybe I can start taking those birthing classes now," I said close to his lips. Daire lets out a breathless chuckle. "I don't know maybe," He said before crashing his lips to mine.

I smile against the kiss in victory.
