Keeping this baby secret is killing me but Ayla wants to wait and well I agree with her as bad as I want to tell.
Today she has an appointment but I wasn't able to go with her because we are finishing up the house and we want to move in by the weekend.
We were hustling to do finishing ups and I was putting the covers on the wall fixtures to lights.
If I do say so myself this house is beautiful and Ayla picked everything out and she's pretty good at it.
She did get some help from Poppy and Mom but she picked most of it out by herself.
Everyone is going to help us move things and we don't really have much honestly but mom went out and bought us all new furniture and cleaning supplies and Arrow has a bedroom full of stuff.
I walked to the spare room and smiled. I can't wait until this room is full with our second baby.
"Hart anything else we need to do up here?" Dad asked.
"Need shelves for Ayla's walk-in closet. That's going to be a huge surprise for her."
"She's going to love it. Let me call about the shelves and see if they are coming today. If not I'll go pick it up." Dad said.
"I can go get them dad so you don't have to," I said.
"Alright, I'll let you know what I find out. We are basically done and you guys can move in by Friday." Dad said.
"We were thinking Sunday so Ayla will be exactly about that." I smiled.
I put the bedspread on the bed and fixed the pillows that mom bought for us. The bed is so nice and just what Ayla wanted.
I can't wait to get her naked in here. We are going to have some find times breaking in our new house.
Mom and Emerson took Arrow out and took some pictures of him around the Ranch and Emerson is hanging them up on the wall going down the steps next to our wedding pictures.
"These look fantastic. Ayla is going to cry Em."
"That's the whole point." He laughed.
"Speaking of Em how is aunt Emma and Jess? I know they went out to California. When are they coming back?"
"They are supposed to be here for Sunday dinner I think. They sure are missed on the Ranch." Dad said.
"They really are. I miss them being around but I'm glad they are coming in." I said.
"They want to meet Jon Jon," Dad said.
"Uncle Austin how is he doing?" I asked.
"Oh man, he fits in perfectly as he has always been with us. That kid had a hard life and I just want to make the rest the best it can be for him." He said.
"You haven't told us much. Where did he live?" I asked.
"He was born in Germany but after his father got out of the military they moved to California and his parents got messed up on drugs and his father shot and killed his mother in front of him when he was three years old. Then he killed himself. Thankfully he doesn't remember but he's been in foster care ever since." Uncle Austin said.
"Oh wow, poor thing that sucks."
"Poor kid but he is going to get the best here and we all will see to it," Dad said.
"I appreciate it guys and well he can't wait to meet Owen. He loves football and actually knows who Owen is." Uncle Austin laughed.
"Oh, I bet Owen will bring him a load of shit." I laughed.
"Luke said he is going to and his little face lit up when Luke FaceTimed him and he met Owen." Uncle Austin said.
"Ryder loves him too and they play well together," Dad said as his phone rang.
"Hart those shelves are ready if you want to run down and get them," Dad said.
"Alright, I'll go and be back shortly," I said.
I got in Dad's truck and took off to town. I went and picked up the shelves and then stopped by a flower shop and got Ayla a bunch of flowers and dropped them off at home before going up to the new house.
When I pulled up Brennon came out and helped me carry them in and take them upstairs to install them.
"Ayla is going to shit a brick when she sees this house." Brennon laughed.
"Yeah, I haven't brought her up here since we were still working on the bathroom upstairs. I wanted it all to be a surprise to her." I smiled.
"Too bad, she doesn't have a sister." Brennon laughed.
"Yeah, and her only friend Tiff is seeing my best friend Ky so that's out." I laugh.
"Yeah, those two are good together." He said.
We got the shelves installed and stood back and looked at our work. "This looks great."
"Let's get out of here its almost time for dinner," Brennon said.
"Is it? I need to get home and see my girl. See you at the main house." I said heading outside to the side by side.
When I got to the house and walked in I could hear Ayla talking to Arrow.
"Hey there!" I said smiling when I walked to his room and saw her changing his diaper.
"Hey, Hart!" She smiled.
"Dada doo!" Arrow said.
"Been home long?" I asked.
"No just long enough to bring him in here and change him." She said.
"Oh ok well sorry we were finishing up things and I lost track of time," I said.
"It's ok. Here hold your son while I go get me a drink of water." She smiled.
I followed her out of the room with Arrow on my hip and watched her go into the kitchen. She stopped in her tracks looking when she saw the flowers.
"Hart! Oh, they are beautiful." She said walking over to the table sniffing them.
"I hope you like them."
"Of course I do. Oh here!" She said handing me the sonogram out of her back pocket.
