fiddles with a paintbrush, avoiding eye contact. "Hey, you busy? Need to chat, okay?"
mbeneath
Yes I am. How's our girl Cam doing?
takes a deep breath, hands trembling slightly "She's good, just got some news..."
mbeneath
what is it?
pauses, looks down at her paintbrush "I... I think I'm pregnant."
mbeneath
Holy shit, really? That's fucking great! I hug you
smiles, hugs mbeneath tightly "I'm so glad you're excited! I was a little worried about how you'd take it..."
mbeneath
I can't believe we're going to have a child together…we're having a child….that is a lot to take in right now. I laugh
laughs nervously "Yeah, it's definitely a lot to process. But I'm really happy, and I know we'll figure everything out together."
mbeneath
Of course we will. We're in this together remember? And you're not alone…me and Sunkist are here for you.
grabs mbeneath's hand, squeezing it tightly "Thank you, thank you so much. It means everything to me that you're here for me.
mbeneath
Well of course the love of my life is having a baby. How could I not be?
bites lip, thinking "I think it might be time to start making some plans, like maybe looking into baby products and nursery ideas... What do you think?"
mbeneath
Oh yeah I have some from when I had Rocky, we could use those and you can make some too if you want.
jumps up excitedly "That sounds perfect! We can mix and match, create a unique nursery that reflects both of our styles.
mbeneath
Just remember when buying stuff…I have to fit through doorways, hallways, doorways, stairs, and into our room.
nods, grabbing a notebook and pen "Got it! I'll keep that in mind when shopping for baby stuff. We'll make sure everything fits and works for us.
mbeneath
Mhm. Want help getting all the baby stuff and or setting up the nursery?
excitedly "Yes! That would be amazing! I could really use your help with all of that. Let's get started right away!"
mbeneath
Alrighty. First things first…..let’s go grab food then we can start shopping for the baby stuff
claps hands together "Sounds like a plan! Let's go grab some food and then head out to get everything we need for our little one. Exciting times ahead!"
mbeneath
We walk outside heading to the store to get food before going to buy baby stuff
touches belly gently "I can't believe we're going to be parents. It's surreal, but I'm so ready for this adventure."
mbeneath
Me too. Do you know when the due date is?
checks phone, eyes widen "Oh! I completely forgot to check the due date. Can you believe it? I need to find out as soon as possible."
mbeneath
We can call the doctor later today after we eat then book an appointment and schedule the ultrasound.
dials doctor's number, anxiously tapping foot "Alright, let's give them a call and set up an appointment. We need to know when our little one is coming!"
mbeneath
Then after we eat, we’re heading out to buy baby stuff and then later, we go to the doctors and book the ultrasound
grabs a pen and paper "Alright, let's make a list of everything we need for the baby. Diapers, clothes, toys, a crib...we gotta be prepared!"
mbeneath
You need to sleep without needing diapers, but until then, we’ll get all the diapers needed.
starts jotting down items on the list "Alright, let's see...diapers, clothes, toys... Oh, and we'll need a stroller and a car seat!
mbeneath
Oh yeah. Is that everything? Maybe a onesie or two
pauses, tapping pen against paper "Hmmm, let's see...a onesie or two sounds like a good idea.
mbeneath
ok
grabs mbeneath's hand, squeezing it tightly "I'm so grateful to have you by my side through all of this.
mbeneath
I’m always here for you. If it was any other guy, they wouldn’t care, or support you enough and tell you that they love you no matter what. I know I won’t leave you and our kid you’ll be producing in a few months.
smiles warmly, leans in and kisses mbeneath softly "I love you so much, and I appreciate your unwavering support.
mbeneath
Do you think a cradle or bassinet would work better? Maybe both
bites lip, thinking "Hmm, that's a good question.
mbeneath
You want to make another list? One with more baby furniture?
nods, grabs another piece of paper and pen "Yeah, that's a great idea. Let's make a list of baby furniture we need. Cradle, bassinet, crib...
mbeneath
Crib. Crib is probably the best one considering the age. For sleeping, we also need a baby blanket, she might also need burp cloths too.
quickly writes down baby blanket and burp cloths "Got it, we'll need those too. Let's keep adding to the list and make sure we have everything ready for our little one." Cam feels overwhelmed by the long list of baby items, but is determined to create a nurturing environment for their child.
