The Next Day

I woke up before Dave and headed down to make breakfast and coffee. I could finally start moving into the house and put my things out. I had kept my stuff mainly packed be cause this was Dave's house. He told me countless times that I could do whatever I wanted to the house but I didn't feel right. I couldn't wait til Dave left for the day so I could get over to the house. I texted Abby and asked her if she wanted to help me start moving and she said yes. I was finishing the eggs when Dave came downstairs with wet hair.

"Hey good lookin," I said as he walked up to me and gave me a kiss.

"Good morning," he responded with as he poured himself a cup of coffee. I put the eggs, bacon and toast on plates while he sat down at the table. I put our plates down on the table and sat down with him. "Please be careful today. I don't want you stressing out yourself or the baby."

"Abby will be helping me out so I should be fine. I'm so excited. I can finally unpack my shit," I said back as he started eating.

"Ok but please just be careful. You get tired, you stop and rest," he said as he reached for his coffee.

"I will. I will be completely fine. Stop worrying about me so much," I responded with and he smiled slightly.

We ate our breakfast and Dave headed off to the studio. I started moving my boxes into the van and moving empty untaped boxes into the house. I was throwing a few garbage bags out into the garage when Abby came walking in.

"You're seriously using garbage bags to move your clothes?" she asked with a small chuckle.

"Who said these were mine," I said with a smile. We both started laughing as we headed into the house.

"He's going to kill you for using garbage bags on his clothes," Abby said as we walked into the kitchen.

"Two of them were sheets and pillow cases and the other was dirty laundry. Thanks for coming. Dave seriously thinks I'm going to over work myself. The fact I even want to do this is amazing. I stay in my pjs all day when I'm not working. Coffee?' I asked as I poured myself a cup.

"No thank you. The smell makes me nauseous and he worries because he cares and loves you. I'm sure he's at the studio right now convincing the guys to come help us. Taylor said he was nuts for letting you do it alone in the first place," Abby responded as I drank my coffee.

"I hope they do. There's so much shit to do," I said. My phone started ringing and I saw it was the movers so I answered it. "Hello...This is she...Ok wow thanks. That's actually kind of perfect. Great see you tomorrow."

"You got movers already?" Abby asked as I finished my coffee.

"I called while I was making breakfast and they said they'd be here on Friday. They called to say they could come tomorrow. We just need them for the furniture so it's perfect," I replied. I was putting my cup in the sink when I heard a bunch of foot steps.

"I think the cavalry has arrived," Abby said and the guys came into the kitchen shortly after.

"We talked Dave into coming home and helping," Chris said as Dave walked over to me and hugged me.

"You also owe him mind blowing sex later," Taylor said as he put an arm around Abby and kissed her head.

"It was talk him into coming back and helping or listen to him worry about you all day," Pat chimed in as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

"What's with the garbage bags in the garage?" Dave asked as Nate walked out of the kitchen.

"Sheets and dirty clothes. You had to be convinced?" I asked with an eyebrow raised.

"The record is almost done and I just want to finish it so I can relax and enjoy our time alone before our son arrives. I'm pretty sure I would have asked them either way though," he replied as Nate came back into the kitchen.

"Where's the tape and markers?" he asked as Dave turned around to look at him and I realized Abby and Taylor had disappeared. Hopefully to help pack and not make use of one of the empty rooms.

"I'll go get them," I said and headed upstairs.

I grabbed the markers and tape from Dave's office and headed back down. I headed into the living room and put the stuff on the coffee table before going back upstairs to pack up the baby stuff. With my stuff still in boxes and Dave not fully moving into the house, we got the house packed up by dinner time. I ordered pizza and chinese, because I was pregnant and couldn't choose. After we all ate and the guys and Abby left, Dave and I headed to the new house with what ever was in the van. We took all the boxes out of the van and left them in the living room. Dave came out of the living room as I sat down on the stairs.

"You look like you could fall asleep at any second," he said as I yawned.

"I probably could. I think I over did it today," I said back in response as he walked over to me.

"Come on. Let's get you home," Dave said as he pulled me up to my feet as another yawn escaped my mouth.

"We are home silly," I said as we started walking out to the van.

"Ok let me rephrase that then. Let's get you to our bed so you can pass out. I can wait for my mind blowing sex," Dave said back and I giggled. We got in the van and headed back to the house. We had a big day ahead of us tomorrow.
