6 months later...

Ray was sitting in the living room while the kids were playing on the floor.

"Ray. Can you help me out?" Norman called from the kitchen.

"Okay. Coming!" Ray called.

Ray stood up and went to the kitchen. There he saw Norman having a hard time reaching the paper on the floor.

Ray chuckled softly. "What are you doing?" Ray asked as he took the paper that was on the floor and gave it to Norman.

"I was only arranging the kids' drawings, then it fell. So I needed a bit of help." Norman smiled sheepishly.

Ray smiled and he kissed Norman on the forehead. "I see. Can I keep you company?" Ray asked.

Norman smiled. "Yeah! I'd love that."

Ray pulled the chair and sat beside Norman. "Why are you even arranging them anyway?" Ray asked.

"Well, since the kids love drawing a lot. It became a mess. So, that's why there are boxes right beside you with their name on it." Norman smiled.

Ray looked to his side and he did saw some boxes with the kids' names pasted on it. Their names were written in a beautiful calligraphy like writing.

"So, your arranging them in this kind of order?" Ray asked.

"Yeah. So, it won't be that hard. Its pretty easy to separate them since the kids write their names on their drawings.

Also, that way, when the kids grow up I can show them their old drawings. You know, memories." Norman smiled.

"Yeah. Makes sense." Ray said.

"Plus, you also made the kids' own baby photo albums. You also made another one, right?" Norman grinned.

Ray laughed defeatedly. "Yeah. Your right. I'm just adding the finishing touches on our little ones' own photo album." Ray smiled as he stroked Norman's stomach.

"Your due soon Norman. The baby bag is ready, right?" Ray asked.

"Yeah. Remember? You already prepared it 2 months ago!" Norman said.

"Right. Wanna eat something? Fruits? Berries? Sweets?" Ray asked.

Norman thought about it for a moment then smiled. "Fruits please."

"Okay. I'll go down to the market and but you some fruits. Be right back." Ray smiled as he bent down and kissed Norman.

"Okay. Be careful. Also, don't forget..."

"The fresh ones. I know what to buy, Norman. See you later~." Ray winked and left the house.

"Mommy? What are you doing?" Amelia asked as she sat on the chair.

"I'm organizing your drawings in these boxes." Norman smiled.

"Can I help?" Amelia asked.

"Sure! That would be nice." Norman smiled.

Amelia's eyes sparkled and helped Norman sorting out their drawings.

Ray bought the fruits that Norman asked him. He then saw some chaos happening around the corner.

"What's going on over there?" Ray asked to himself.

He was about to go and check it out, but he was suddenly pulled to the side.
