After they took another shower and got dressed Jessica said, "Alright NOW let's go shopping!" Then giggled.

When the get to the baby store Danny helps her out of his truck, "Damn it, I hate this truck! It's too high!" She whines. "I know, I'm sorry, sweet girl."
"It's fine, I really should go and by myself another car but I'm just so lazy."
"It's okay, you're pregnant." He smiles and holds her hand as they walk in.
"I love that excuse, Oh I just ate two pizzas, a chocolate cake and a hot fudge sundae, but it's okay.. I'm pregnant!" She laughs.
"Well that's your excuse but what's mine? Haha, I mean I feel like I've gained weight just while you've been pregnant because I usually eat whatever you eat!" He laughs.
"Oh honey, no you haven't.. You're perfect!" She smiles at him.
"You're the perfect one baby." He wraps his arm around her and kisses the top of her head.

They look around at all of the baby clothes, "Ah Danny look at this!" She picks up a little outfit, "He's gonna look like a little man in this! We have to buy it." She throws it in the basket.
"Oh he's movin, do you wanna feel?" She holds her belly.
"Of course." He smiles and pushes the basket over to where she is.
"Oh my gosh! This boy is rough!"
"Isn't he?"
"Jessica how does this not hurt you?"
"Oh it does! Believe me, it does!"
"Damn look at that!" He says referring to the baby moving in such an awkward position that her stomach look oddly shaped.
"Oh my gosh, that hurts so bad! He's like an alien baby!" She laughs.
"Hah! An Alien baby or a little monkey the way he's jumping around in there."
"He is like a little monkey!" She laughs then adds, "Look at that, it looks like he's punching me. I think that's his little fist." She puts her hand over it and gently rubs it.
"Hey little man settle down in there. You're gonna pop right out of your momma!" He chuckles and rubs her stomach.
He gets down to his knees and sings, "Hush little baby don't say a word, daddy's gonna buy you the whole wide world.."
"He's calming down! Keep singing!" She tells him.
Danny continues and the baby calms down but still moves around a little.
He kisses her stomach then stands up, "Well thanks daddy!" She smiles.
"You're welcome mommy!" He grabs her and kisses her.

Jessica walks past a mirror then and catches a glimpse of herself, "Holy shit, is that shamu?!"
"Jessica!" Danny laughs.
"Well damn! I'm fucking huge! Jessica, DO NOT wear horizontal stripes ever again when you're 7 and a half months pregnant!" She laughs and rubs her belly.
She gasps and says, "Oh my gosh it's so much worse from the side!"
"Sweetie, let's just keep going." Danny grabs her hand and continues walking.

"Okay now we have to go to Home Depot for his nursery paint." She tells Danny.
"Alright, you want anything to eat before then, or are you okay?"
"Ummmm... I'm hungry." She gives him a cute smile.

They end up eating at La Madeline which of course ended with Jessica eating few of their French deserts.

When they get to Home Depot they walk over to the paint isle.
"I like this green color, it goes with his money bedding we bought." Jessica says.
"Yeah that would look good together."
"Danny, what are we going to do?"
"About what, baby?"
"His name!" She whines, "We painted Gabby's name on her wall and this little guy doesn't even have a name yet. He'll be here in ten weeks and he only has a middle name."
"Well, we'll think about it and then come back to find the color you want his name in."

Jessica's phone rings, "Oh it's George!" She gets excited.

"Hey baby brother, how are you?"

"I'm good sis, how are you doing?"

"Oh just growing!  But I can't complain.  When are you coming down for a visit?"

"Well that's what I was calling you about, I'll be there in a couple of days!"

"Really?!  That's awesome!  How long will you be here?"
