Ava turned her head as she saw Jackson fast asleep behind her with his arms around her waist placed on her baby bump. Ava was now about 36 weeks pregnant. She held up her phone as she check the time that read 2:42am as she was not able to sleep.

Ava was at the stage of her pregnancy where she was having constant back ache and not being able to sleep as she was uncomfortable.

Ava had gotten out of bed as she went across the hall to the recently decorated nursery that Jackson had put together on his day off. They had decided to keep it neutral as they didn't know the gender of the baby as they went with a grey and white theme.

Ava and Jackson had a house with 5 bedroom each with their own bathroom. It also had a kitchen,Dining room, office space, laundry room,sitting room and another room which the couple had planned to turn into their future children's playroom.

Ava sat in the chair beside the crib daydreaming as she didn't know how long for as Jackson walked into the nursery with just his shorts on and looking half asleep as he looked at his wife. "It's just after 3:00am why are you up so early?" He says as he moves to sit on the arm of the chair.

"The baby is awake and kicking and I couldn't get comfortable." Ava says as she rests her hand on her bump as the baby kicks where her hand is causing her to smile as she takes Jackson's hand placing it where hers just was as the baby kicks again as a smile grows on his lips as he leans over and kisses Ava as she kisses him back.
