*Calum's POV*
I felt fingertips run across my bare chest. I opened my eyes just to see green ones staring back at me.
"Good morning, baby! Today is moving day!" Emily said with lots of excitement.
"I know, princess. What time will everyone be here?" I asked stretching.
"In about twenty minutes. Hop up love." She said getting up and throwing a sweatshirt on.
"Okay fine." I said getting up and throwing on jeans and a shirt.
We went downstairs and had some breakfast and then right on time, Luke, Ashton, and Amanda all walked in the door.
"Let's do this!" Ashton said with a bright smile. "What exactly are we doing by the way?" He asked with a giggle.
"Well, we are moving my moms things to the downstairs bedroom, our things to the master bedroom, and making our room the nursery." Emily said making the nursery part sound extra cheerful.
"Okay. Now, let's do this!" Ash said again.
"Amanda, you are in charge of organizing momma Swartz's room downstairs when we all bring you boxes. Make it nice." I said smiling at her.
"Okie dokie. You got it Hood." She said pushing me playfully.
"I'm going to be organizing the master bedroom as stuff is changed over. And when both of those rooms are done, we start on the nursery!" Emily said.
"Sounds like a plan." Luke said.
"Game time!" I said and everyone began moving boxes around and unpacking them.

It wasn't long before all the boxes were moved and the final placements of lamps and other knickknacks were being executed.
"Good work guys! Lunch time!" Emily said as she went to the kitchen and came back with a tray of sandwiches. "I got everyone their favorite. You guys are the best." She said handing each sandwich to its matching person.
"We'd do anything for you guys. You know that." Luke said and the others nodded in agreement.
"Thanks guys. It really means a lot." I said.
"So after lunch, we get to start on the nursery? That empty room needs some love." Amanda said.
"Yes. We have the paint and all the stuff in the shed. Cal, can you and the guys go grab the paint and stuff when you're finished?" Emily asked sweetly.
"Of course, princess." I said with a smile.
After we all finished eating the guys and I went out back to get the paint for the nursery.
"I can't believe you're actually having a baby, dude. Who would have thought you'd be the first to start a family?" Ashton said.
"Well, as soon as he got with Emily, I think we all knew this was going to happen. She's the one he needed and they're perfect together." Luke said and I smiled.
"Thanks bro. I really love her. I can't wait for the baby to come and for us to get married. She really is perfect." I said.
"Do you think the baby is going to be a boy or a girl?" Ashton asked.
"We think he's a boy, but either way I'll be happy as long as its healthy." I said.
"Amanda and I think it's a boy too." Luke said.
"I think we all think it's a boy." Ashton said with a giggle. I handed paint cans to each of them and grabbed the tarps, rollers, and tape.
"Hey Ash, Em and I were talking about godparents the other day, and we were wondering if you wanted to be the baby's godfather." I said.
"Of course, dude! That's such an honor!" He said happily.
"Good. I'm glad. We figured you were the most responsible." I said. And he agreed.
"Now, let's go paint a nursery!" He said enthusiastically.

*My POV*
"You guys just tell me when it's all painted, okay?" I yelled up the steps.
"Okay, princess. You just relax." Calum called back down to me. I walked over to the couch and sat next to Amanda. She was keeping me company since I can't be around paint fumes while pregnant.
"So, what color is the paint?" Amanda asked.
"Yellow and grey." I said with a smile.
"Oh I like that. And let me guess the theme." She said.
"You already know." I giggled.
"Elephants." She said.
"Of course! What else would it be?" I laughed.
"True. It's only fitting." She smiled.
"Listen, Cal and I were discussing a lot of things the other day. One of them being godparents." I began and her face lit up.
"If you're asking me to be the godmother my answer is one hundred percent yes." She said excitedly.
"Well, I guess that's settled then. You and Ash are the godparents of baby Hood!" I said and she hugged me.
"I'm so excited! Oh my god. Do you think it'll be a boy or a girl? Luke and I think it's a boy." She said smiling.
"I think it's going to be a boy too. Cal is convinced." I said with a laugh. "Have I told you the name choices yet?" I asked.
"No! Tell me!" She yelled.
"Okay, well, we picked Noah for a boy and Quinn for a girl." I smiled.
"Awh Em! I love them! You're going to be such a good mom." She smiled.
"I sure hope so. I'm really excited to start my family with Cal. I couldn't be any happier." I smiled.
Just then I heard a deep voice coming from upstairs.
"Second coat is done! Start bringing some of the things inside while we clean up." Cal said.
"Come help me." I said and grabbed Amanda's hand.
We brought in all the decorations and some of the small furniture. We left the big stuff for the guys. I helped carry some things upstairs but I still couldn't go in the room until the fumes were gone. When everything was moved in we said our goodbyes to the boys and Amanda.
Cal and I stood in the doorway and looked at the perfect room that would soon be the home to our little baby.
"I can't wait." Cal whispered and kissed my head.
"Me either. But can we veg out now?" I asked.
"Of course, princess. It's your turn to pick the movie.
"Okay love. Go get some snacks?" I said walking toward the master bedroom.
"Okay, princess. I'll be right back." He said.
I pulled up Netflix and changed into my pajamas. I laid out a pair of lounge pants for Calum and got under the covers.
"Hey, princess. I got us Chinese food. You mentioned wanting it yesterday so I figured you'd still want it. I got your favorite. General tso's chicken with white rice." He said with a smile.
"You're the best, baby." I said grabbing the food. He changed into his pajamas and got under the covers as well.
"I picked what we are going to watch." I said.
"What is it babe?" He asked not paying attention to the screen.
"Monsters inc. then Monsters University." I said smiling.
"Awh sweet! I knew there was a reason I loved you." He said laughing.
"Well, I'm glad you love me even if it's for my choice of movies. I love you too you big goof ball." I said and started the movie.
"I'm so happy we are together." He said grabbing my hand.
"Me too, baby. Me too." I said and the opening scene of the movie began. There's no place I would rather be.
