Ivy's POV

"Just take a look at this video and tell me what you think."

I watched the tv quietly as it flashed back to GMA. I was surprised they had decided to air the episode, or even keep everything that happened in there. From what I had gathered, they wanted to show just what kind of people Pentatonix were, but based off the internet and tv, it was backfiring, and bad.

Occasionally there would be one or two people that didn't approve, but for the most part, everyone seemed to understand that they were just defending themselves and me. Constant opinions were exactly why the video had been circulating for over a month now.

"You look tired." I glanced over at Kirstie with a small laugh and turned the tv off.

"Just a little bit, but I'd rather sleep tonight," I said with a small shrug.

"Well I got to thinking, have you two even started baby shopping?" Mitch asked as he looked between me and Avi.

I shook my head quietly slight shock written on my face. Here I was nearly six months along and we haven't even started buying. I had been looking, but I knew I didn't want to make any decisions without Avi's opinion and he was either eating, sleeping, or performing. "I've looked but that's it..."

"IVY!!"

"Sorry," I muttered as I leaned back against the headboard. "I just don't want to make decisions on my own," I added with a small shrug.

Mitch continued staring at me disapprovingly, and I sighed as I reached over and grabbed my laptop. "Would you want to make big decisions without Scott?" I asked as I glanced over at him while it started up.

He didn't answer but from the way he wouldn't look me in the eye, he knew the answer.

"Shouldn't I be the moody one?" I asked, shaking my head a bit as I began looking online.

"Well don't you worry because Auntie Mitchie and Uncle Scotty are here to help," Mitch said as he crawled off the bed closest to the door and sat down in front of me, taking  my laptop from me.

"No offense, but what do you two know about shopping for a baby, let alone two?" I asked, glancing over only to find Avi watching in amusement. "You think this is funny but this is your fault."

"Well when my sister had my nephew, I had to help her pick out baby stuff so I know more than you think," Scott said, taking his place next to Mitch.

"And these kids are not gonna know me and not have style," Mitch added as both he and Scott began intently looking at the screen. "First things first, you two aren't home so we need to hire someone to do your nursery for you. You can't get things for them and not have anywhere to put it. I was thinking, how cool would it be to have their names like above their cribs on the wall?" he asked, glancing up at the two of us.

"That would be so cool, like customization even though they're different genders," Scott added with a wide smile.

I glanced over at Avi, then at Mitch and shrugged. "I don't mind, but we don't even have names yet," I said with a light smile.

"I had a couple in mind." I looked over at Avi curiously, smiling a bit more when I saw his head down and his cheeks turning red. "What about Greyson and Athena?"

I raised my eyebrows a bit as he spoke and thought about it. Greyson and Athena?

"I'm not entirely sure what Greyson means but I liked the say it sounds and then Athena because I know our daughter will be strong and wise just like she was," he continued with a sheepish smile.

"I think they're perfect," I finally said as I reached over and took his hand with a smile.

Mitch began typing and clicking without a word before turning the computer around and showing us two wall decals he had made online. They were adorable but seemed elegant at the same time with the font he had chosen. I smiled slightly and looked over at Avi. "I love them."

"Who would have thought we needed baby planners?" he asked with a deep chuckle.

"I know, but we need the help. Neither one of us has done this before."

Mitch began working again, listing off question after question. "What color did you want the walls? What secondary color were you thinking? What kind of cribs were you thinking? What about area rugs? How big is the room?" He suddenly paused and looked between me and Avi. "Who's place is it going?"

Crap. We hadn't even thought about that. "His," I said without thinking. It just came natural. "I mean my apartment is nice and everything but I don't think it'll do for two adults, two newborns, and a dog that likes to bark at everything," I added with a small shrug as I looked over at Avi's hurt expression. "He does! Do I have to remind you about the neighbors?"

"Fair enough," he said with a small laugh, squirming over towards me and resting his hand on my tummy protectively. "I don't know the answers to any of those questions though. Why don't we just go out and look at stuff to see if we get any inspiration?" he asked, taking me and Scomiche off guard.

"Okay then," I said as I began to get up, managing to get my shoes on. Mitch grabbed a notepad and pen, making sure it worked before handing it to Scott.

"Start making  a list of what we should consider since you're the baby man," he said with a small laugh. Barely waiting on any of us, he walked out, heading in the opposite direction of the elevator. "I'll meet you guys down there. I'm gonna go get Es, Kirst, and Kervy to see if they wanna join in."

I simply shrugged and made sure I had my phone before walking out with Scott and Avi on either side of me. I guess today we're going baby shopping.
