Luke: "I wanna help" you whine, leaning against the door frame and watching Luke as he paints the walls "it's fine baby, you just relax" he chuckles, you sigh, padding into the room and sitting down in a new rocking chair "can I help you put the changing table together?" You ask, Luke frowns, his eyebrows knitted together "uhh...I don't think so darling" he mumbles, you cross your ankles and huff "what about putting the clothes away?" You continue, he shakes his head "what about putting the carpeting in?" You persist "not a bloody chance" Luke laughs, wiping his sweaty forehead "I want you to relax baby girl, take a nap maybe" he suggests, you groan, slumping in your chair "I'm bored Luke, you never let me do anything" you complain, he chuckles and rolls his eyes "I'm just protecting my little boy" he shrugs, grinning at you, you roll your eyes and lift up your top, drumming your fingers on your tummy, feeling the responding kicks and giggling to yourself "is he awake?" Luke asks, you nod and he crouches by your side, wrapping his warm hands around your bump, he smiles, kissing your bump before standing up, you gasp, your eyes trained on your bump "oops" Luke giggles, you gape at the blue paint handprints on your skin "you did that intentionally" you whine, he grins sheepishly and shrugs "completely accidental" he hums, turning back to his previous job of painting the wall, a satisfied smirk on his lips.

Calum: "Can I see it yet?" You whine, as Calum comes into your bedroom, his hands smeared with navy blue paint, he chuckles and shakes his head, kissing you gently "I'm not done baby, it's gotta be perfect before you can see it" he explains, you groan, rolling your eyes and flopping back on the bed. The nursery is joined to your bedroom and when Calum disappears back inside you creep towards the door, trying to get a little peek, but the second you twist the door knob, Calum pops up, steering you backwards, laughing softly "patience is a virtue baby" he sings, sitting you down on the bed and pressing a kiss to your bump "aw Cal just one look" you whine, he shakes his head, smirking "I'm almost done my girl, just a few more minutes okay? I just want it to be a surprise for you" he coos, you sigh and nodding as he grins, kissing your forehead before bounding back into the nursery. You sit quietly, biting your lip until he slowly opens the door, beckoning you in, you squeal, rushing in and immediately your jaw drops "Calum" you breathe, he smiles "d'you like it?" He asks "like it? Cal I love it" you murmur, still in shock as you turn in a circle, drinking in the whole room, it is deep space themed, the walls and ceiling covered in constellations and stars, all the planets painted in bright colours, the two circular cribs arranged against the wall "it's beautiful" you whisper, turning to Calum, he shrugs, blushing as you kiss his cheek.

Ashton: You yawn, stretching as you open your eyes slowly, you frown, noticing Ashton's side of the bed empty, you sigh, struggling to your feet, smoothing your shirt over your prominent bump as you waddle down the stairs, you assume Ashton has gone into the studio to get some work done so you trudge towards the kitchen in search of food, smiling to yourself at the sight of pancakes stacked on the kitchen counter, still warm and dripping in syrup, you grab a plateful and make your way to the living room, but as you are walking you notice a soft humming, and you hear Ashton's familiar voice singing an old Elvis song quietly, you grin, following his voice to find him in what is now the nursery, his back to you, he is perched on a ladder, chewing the tip of his paintbrush as he surveys the wall "it's beautiful Ash" you breathe, he turns around and smiles at you "you think so?" He asks, you nod, marvelling at the mural covering the wall "when did you do this?" You laugh, he shrugs, climbing down and padding over to you "I've been sneaking in here whenever I can, I just finished the final touches...do you think he'll like it?" Ashton scratches the back of his neck shyly, his cheeks flushing "I think he'll love it" you giggle, stroking your bump, you are amazed by the amount of effort your boyfriend has put into the mural, it shows a jungle scene with incredibly colourful animals, blue lions and purple giraffes, red elephants and yellow crocodiles, the detail is impeccable and you can't wipe the smile off your face as you wrap your arms around Ashton's neck and kiss him passionately.

Michael: "And I think we're done" Michael grins, glueing the last glittery letter above the crib, you look at it and bite your lip, trying not to laugh "baby...you spelt it wrong" you giggle, he frowns "princess is spelt p-r-i-n-c-e-s-s not p-r-i-n-s-e-s-s" there is silence for a few seconds "...I knew that...just a mistake" Michael mumbles, prying the wrong letters off and replacing them "...we're never letting her drop out of school" he mutters, scratching the back of his neck "which has nothing to do with this...just I think...just the best option I think" he adds quickly, you giggle, nodding as his cheeks flush "there it's correct now" he grumbles, dusting pink and silver glitter off his hands "A Princess Sleeps Here" you read out, smiling to yourself "it's perfect Mikey, thank you" you grin, he wraps an arm around your waist and kisses your cheek "nothing but the best for my little girl" he murmurs, stroking your bump "you're gonna spoil her too much Michael" you chuckle, he shrugs, his lips curling into a smirk "she's gonna have you wrapped around her little finger" "much like you do" he laughs, you smack his arm lightly and feign shock "I do not!" You giggle "oh come on, now if you ever tell anybody this I'll totally deny it, but I've come to the realization that I'm whipped" he admits, you shake your head fondly and press your lips to his "you'd best hope our next kid is a boy or else you're gonna dead" you giggle, he rolls his eyes playfully, deepening the kiss to shut you up.
