waking up next to damon was something that juno had deeply missed. when he was gone, she yearned for his touch. it was the little things that she couldn't stop thinking about. the way he'd gently brush her hair out of her face in the mornings to wake her up, the feeling she'd get when she'd opened her eyes and saw his gorgeous, gorgeous eyes looking back at her. the lopsided smirk on his face. the little things.

when juno woke up and saw damon's sleeping face beside hers, her heart started beating two times faster, and the baby started kicking. it felt to her like this was the first time they'd ever spent the night together, even though it was far from that.

juno dragged her very, very pregnant self out of bed, careful not to wake damon, and slid on her slippers before exiting the room. she walked into her en-suite bathroom, to brush her teeth in the tiled sink. as she finished brushing her teeth, an extremely groggy looking damon stumbled in after her, scratching his head as he stretched.
"good morning love". he said, sliding his arms around junos abnormally round waist, placing a delicate kiss on her forehead.

"morning. i'd like to go to that diner of yours for brunch. i'm craving their full english so bad this morning. i also need to get some finishing touches for the nursery". juno replied, reaching her hand up to stroke his cheek.

"we can do that for sure. i can drive".

juno smiled at him before leaving the bathroom to get ready for the day. she had a lot to do before having this baby, who was due in less than three weeks. the nursery was almost finished, it just needed some final decorations. juno wanted the room to be very bright, making sure the baby had lots to look at.

juno changed into a white long sleeve, and some baggy jeans that hung low under her very apparent baby bump. she sat down at her vanity to apply a bit of makeup, as she heard the shower start to run, meaning damon was getting ready too.

once the two were ready, they hopped into junos corvette, and damon drove to clapham, where the diner was located. the two enjoyed their english breakfasts, before heading to soho to check out the antique shops for nursery decorations.

one thing about juno, is that she always bought things secondhand. her whole house decor came from antique shops or thrift stores, her clothes were almost always thrifted, and she hated buying from big brands.

this is how she had damon wandering around soho all day, carrying bags of knick knacks and shopping bags while juno shopped. he was basically just there as a hanger. the two were almost at their breaking point, before juno convinced damon to go into one more antique shop.

in this shop, juno found the most beautiful, vintage, mahogany rocking chair she'd ever seen. it was dark mahogany, had mother of pearl inlaid, and was in the most perfect condition. immediately, she knew that this would be the chair that she would feed her baby it's first bottle, read it's first book, and sing it it's first lullaby in. the shop owner was a very kind older fellow, who sold the chair to juno for a very good deal. of course, she tipped extremely generously.

juno was ecstatic the whole ride home. she was so ready to finish building the nursery of her dreams. she was so ready to be a mother, and even more ready to be settling down with whom she believed to be her soulmate.

"i'm so excited that the little darling is kicking". juno chuckled, damon reaching down to feel the kicks.

"she's ready to pop. any day now". damon replied.

"i'm so excited to meet this little girl. i'm going to give her everything i never had as a child".

"i know you will, love. juno, have you thought of any names for her yet"?

juno thought for a moment. "..honestly, no not really. i mean, i know some names that i like, but i don't think i'll know until i see her... all i know is that i want it to be badass". juno replied, damon snickering.

"just like her mummy". damon replied.

after a couple hours of decorating, the nursery was finally completed. a wooden crib with winnie the pooh bedding and mobile, a reading book with their new rocking chair, a change table, and a play area with an assortment of plushies and toys.

juno and damon couldn't have been more excited to be bringing this beautiful baby girl into this world. they could barely wait for her to come. damon looked down at juno, who was excitedly admiring the nursery with the most happiness in her eyes that he'd ever seen. he wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and kissed her on the top of her head. she leaned her head against his chest as the two stood in silence, admiring the room they'd just created.
