Author's Note:

A little bit of sexual stuff in this chapter, but nothing "Rated R."

"Ian! Honey, get the door!" Anthony strained, packing a very large box with help from both of their dads and Lasercorn.

"I got it!" He called back, holding their apartment door open as Anthony, Lasercorn, and their dads packed the heavy crib box into their living space. Their mom's followed in behind them, their hands full with bags filled to the brim with baby supplies and maternity clothes.

"Where do you want these?" Ian's mom asked, holding the bags within her hands up. Ian pointed over to the couch where Mari was resting after being on her feet with Ian for a couple of hours painting the room that was once Ian and Anthony's office.

"Just put them on the couch. It'll be easier to sort the stuff in here." She nodded and placed them where Ian had told her to.

"Ian!" Anthony called.

"What?"

"Get Daisy! We're going to drop this thing if she doesn't get out of the way!" Ian sprinted as fast as he could to the main hall where Daisy was jumping up onto Anthony's dad and Lasercorn, wagging her tail happily.

"C'mon Daisy! C'mere girl!" Ian exclaimed, trying to lean over and pat his knees, but not being able to because of his 20 week stomach. Regardless, Daisy ran over to Ian. He ran his hands through her course fur and and gestured towards the kitchen. "Let's get you something to eat."Daisy followed him into the kitchen and started pawing at the floor when Ian grabbed the large bag of dog food. He then poured a hefty amount into her bowl, petting her as she began to crunch it loudly. Ian also poured some cat food into Pip's bowl just in case he got hungry as well. After Ian put away their pet's food, he walked back down the main hall and into the room that was once their office to see how Anthony, their dads, and Lasercorn were doing. When he walked in, they were looking around the room that was now painted a light pastel green and wiping sweat away from their brows.

"You and Mari did a good job in here." Anthony commented.

"It took us long enough. Between my back aches and Mari's swollen feet, I'm surprised that we got done in time." Anthony laughed and wrapped his arm around Ian's waist, kissing his temple.

"Well, it looks great. I'll give you a massage later tonight, okay?" Ian nodded.

"Sounds amazing." Anthony gave Ian one last kiss on his cheek before he left, leaving them alone to put the furniture together. Ian walked back into the living room and started to help their moms and Mari sort out the baby's stuff so it will be ready to put in the nursery when it's done.

"So, have you and Anthony talked about names?" Mari asked, folding a small little onesie that Anthony had picked out. Ian clicked his tongue before responding.

"Well, we asked the Smoshers to suggest some names and most of them are crap, but we've managed to find three that we really like."

"What were they?" Ian's mom asked.

"Cooper, Mason, and Blake." Mari's eyes lit up.

"I really like Cooper." Ian shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm not much for it, but Anthony loves it. He likes Blake too."

"Which ones do you like?" Anthony's mom asked.

"I like Mason. I actually REALLY really like the name Mason."

"I do too. What does Anthony think about it?" Mari asked.
