Rock-a-bye, baby. Harry tweeted that morning with a smile plastered onto his face. He rolled over and stared at Taylor who was stroking Meredith's soft fur, "Good morning, sweetie." he said then kissed her lips. 

"Morning. What are your plans for today?" she asked in her sweet-morning voice.

"Well, I thought we could be thinking about baby names and such."

"Wow. The baby doesn't even have limbs yet and you're all ready thinking about names?"

"Yes. I have a few chosen....perhaps....Georgia Rose?"

"Wow, that is pretty! I love it! What about if it's a boy?"

"Hmm....well, I have only really been thinking about girl names at the moment."

"Do you think it'll be a girl?"

"I think....I have a hunch....that it will." he winked then flopped down onto his stomach, "Perhaps I want it to be? Perhaps I want someone that looks exactly like you." 

It was the night of the first show of the RED Tour in Nashville. Harry was standing backstage with Ed, drinking beers, and going on about the baby. "Will you name it after me?" Ed grinned.

"Hrmm, we'll think on it." Harry tossed his hair from his eyes then sighed, "I'm worried about Taylor going out and dancing. I mean, is that safe for the baby?"

"Aye, chap, that baby isn't no bigger than a lima bean right now! Chill!"

"You're right. It couldn't hurt it. I haven't really been around a pregnant woman before...except Lou."

"Ah, Lux will have a playmate now."

"We haven't told the media or anyone. I tweeted that one phrase but most fans thought it was lyrics."

"I think you should let them continue thinking that."

"Yeah? Why's that?" Harry scowled.

"I just would until the RED Tour is through."

"I....I suppose I could. I mean....I don't want her tour to be ruined by hate from my fans."

"Exactly. Ooo, I'm about on. See you soon!"

"Good luck!" Harry called then tossed his plastic cup into the trash. He pulled his hood over his head so he wouldn't be recognized then headed to Taylor's dressing room. She was sitting in front of her vanity, wrapped in her robe, "Hey. Are you excited?" Harry smiled then kissed her cheek.

"Very." she whispered, "About the baby mostly."

"Yeah. Same here." he sat down next to her and entertwined their fingers, "What do you think about starting a large family?" 

"I don't think about it....not yet. Eeeep!" she giggled then gave his soft lips a peck, "So I hear Ed on right now. Did you tell him?"

"Let's just say we're not naming our baby after him."

"Ah, so you told him." she smiled while applying her red lipstick.

Harry shrugged, "I dunno how I feel yet. I have all these mixed emotions."

"You and me both, darling."
