 "Dean! Dean, come feel this!"

You smiled, gesturing for your husband to come over beside you. Your other hand rested on your growing baby bump, gently rubbing it in circles as you felt your baby move and kick inside of you. Dean came running over to you, a big smile on his face as he saw what you were doing.

"Is it the baby?! Are they moving?"

You couldn't help but laugh at how excited he was at the idea of being a dad. The two of you hadn't been married for very long, and you were hoping that it would be a little while before a baby came along, but the moment you told Dean you were pregnant, he was overjoyed. He couldn't wait to meet your little son or daughter and spoil them, and he loved making a fuss over you, even more so now that you were pregnant.

He sat down beside you, feeling your stomach with his hand. He laughed softly, shaking his head slightly as he teared up, staring at your stomach in amazement as he felt the little flutters against his hand.

"Wow. Grace, this is amazing. I can't believe that's our little one in there," he said, looking up at you with a smile on his face. "I love you and the baby so much."

You leaned in to kiss Dean's lips, softly but passionately as you noticed his reaction. "I love you too, sweetheart. Both of you," you replied.

Dean smiled, cuddling up to you as you rested your head on his shoulder, his other arm wrapping around your shoulders gently as he kept a hand on your belly.

"Have you thought about what names you like, Dean?"

He thought for a moment, wrinkling his nose as he did. Finally, he nodded his head and smiled. "How about Aoife if we have a girl? Or Bridget? Caoimhe? Daisy?" He continued to list off girls names, and you laughed, watching him spout off name after name as he thought of ones he liked.

"What do you think of Laura? Maybe Laura Bridget or Laura Daisy?" You suggested your favourite name, hoping Dean would like it. You had been pretty much set on Laura since you two spoke about having a baby, and you hadn't really thought of any other names you liked yet.

"Well, I have two middle names, could the baby have two as well?" Dean asked you, raising an eyebrow as he waited for you to answer.

"Sure, I think that could be cute!"

Dean smiled, nodding his head as he thought quickly, "Well then, how about Laura Bridget Grace, after her beautiful mother then?"

You shook your head, laughing, then grinned at him, knowing exactly how to respond.

"I like it, but, if we have a boy, what about Jack Alexander Dean?"

He shook his head, sighing as you suggested his name. Neither of you were going to give up on the thought of naming your baby after one another, so you agreed that those would be your top choices for your little one.

"So, the baby's definitely Laura or Jack?" Dean bent down gently, kissing the top of your stomach as he ran his hand over your bump again.

"Seems that way! I bet he'll be handsome like his daddy."

You gently ran your fingers through Dean's thick blonde hair, smiling softly to yourself as you watched him being cute with your bump. He had read that kissing your belly would help him and the baby bond, and since then, he was always feeling your bump, kissing it and talking to the baby.

"I think she'll be beautiful like her mammy though."

Dean sat back up again, smiling as he leaned in to passionately kiss your lips. The two of you were having a baby together, and neither of you could wait to meet your little bundle of joy.

Four months later, you and Dean were sitting in your hospital room. You had just given birth to a healthy baby girl, and the two of you were over the moon to meet your newborn daughter.

"Hello little one! I'm your dad," Dean started, holding his finger out for her to wrap her tiny hand around. He smiled as she held on to him, tears forming in his eyes as he admired his beautiful baby. You leaned in to kiss his cheek, loving how happy he was to meet your little one. You both had been getting anxious about being parents for the first time, but now that Laura was here, you two were so happy, you couldn't remember what on earth you were so worried about.

A nurse walked into the room to check on you and the baby, and she smiled as she saw Dean cuddling with you both.

"What's the baby's name?" She asked with a smile. She was getting ready to type up Laura's hospital bracelet and paper work up and needed to know the name you had given your precious little girl.

"Laura Bridget Grace Gibbons," Dean said with a proud look on his face, "right babe?"

"Right," you laughed, smiling up at your husband. You two finally had Laura in your lives, and neither of you could be happier. You loved being parents already and couldn't wait to watch both Laura, and your family grow together.
