“You’re late.  Pay a little visit to Laura, did ya?” He said instead of hello when he opened the door.  Ouch that hurt and I was about to tell him that I didn’t go to her house, but he turned and walked back into his house before I could get a word in.  I simply followed him.

He lived in a home about the same size as mine.  It was gorgeous and perfectly decorated.  We stopped by the living room to say hello to his parents.  They asked how I was feeling and I told them that I was always either tired, hungry or emotional.  That earned a laugh from them.  After our short conversation with them, we excused ourselves and went up to Harry’s room.

His room was a bit larger than mine, but had the basics.  A king size bed, nightstands on either side of the bed, a bookshelf, a wardrobe, desk, two plush chairs in what looks like a reading corner and an on suite bathroom.  The walls have various art work and band posters and in another corner was a television.

“I like you room” I said breaking the awkward silence.

“Thanks” he mumbled and then took notice of the Debenhams bad in my hand.  “What’s that?” he asked and sat in the middle of his bed, near the head.  I smiled and joined him.

“First, let me apologize.” I said and he nodded.  “I am really sorry for how I was acting today.  It wasn’t fair or respectful to you.  I’m sorry for the way I treated you.  You have been amazing this whole time and I should have treated you better.  I am just really sorry and I hope you can forgive my stupid and inconsiderate actions today.” I completed what I had to say and placed my hand on his that was resting on his knee. 

“I was really hurt today Ni.  I know that your reputation means a lot to you, but you are going to have my child.  You can’t ignore me.  But I guess I forgive you for being an idiot.” He said and smiled.  I leaned in a little bit, wanting to kiss him but I didn’t want to go in all the way.  I wanted him to want to kiss me back; which he did.  That made me feel better.  We pulled away from the kiss after about a minute and I pulled the shopping bag into my lap.

“I’m sorry I was late, but I wasn’t at Laura’s.  I went to the mall to get you a gift.” I said and he smiled brightly.  I reached into the bad and pulled out the purple onsie and held it up to show him.

“This is for you, Daddy!” I said with a huge grin and handed it to him.

“Oh my God, it’s so small!  I love it, Ni.  Thank you so much.” He said and a few tears formed in his eyes, but never fell.  He pulled me in for a hug and a kiss.

“We never did discuss what she will call us.” He said

“Well I figured, she could call you Daddy, hence the onsie and maybe she can call me papa, or maybe she will come up with names of her own!”

“Agreed!” He said.

“Now, let me show you what else I bought her” I told him and began pulling each outfit out of the bag, one by one.  We cooed over each outfit and stayed in ‘soon to be parents’ bliss for another hour until I had to go home.

Harry and I spent all of Tuesday together.  Reading baby and parenting books and talking about what kind of parents we would like to be, what we think our daughter will be like and other things all pertaining to our baby.
