Moving Forward

Part 91

Jennifer Jareau's POV

Once I hear the front door closing, I get out of the bathroom and I walk to Emily's bedroom, a towel wrapped around my wet body.

"So? Is everything okay?"

"Yes, Sophia told me everything was fine even though my blood pressure and heart rate are lower than usual and the same for my daughter. She also told me she would be back next week."

"I'm glad to hear that you are both fine! Do you wanna start looking for furniture for your daughter's bedroom?"

"Yeah, of course!"

"I'm gonna dress myself first, then I'll pick up my laptop and I will bring some snacks so I don't have to always get up. Do you have special requests?"

"I have some chocolate bars hidden behind the cereal boxes and if you're looking for Cheetos, there's a family sized bag in the kitchen cabinet where there are also some cookies and if you could bring up some movies so we could watch some movies after, it could be great!" She smiles.

"Okay, then," I laugh.

I get back to the bathroom and I get all dressed. Then I get downstairs and I look behind the cereal boxes and I see Emily's hiding place. I pick a few chocolate bars, then I take the Cheetos bag, cookies and soda crackers. I walk to the living room to choose some 80s and 90s movies because those are our favorites! I also take my laptop.

I rub my belly before going upstairs with all the stuff Emily and I needed and wanted. I enter Emily's bedroom and I sit next to her, putting all our stuff between us. As I turn on my laptop, Emily takes a chocolate bar and unwraps it before taking a bite.

"JJ, you're saving my life! You don't know how much I needed some chocolate!" She exclaims.

I laugh as I enter my password. As I'm doing that, Emily opens the bag of Cheetos and put it under my nose.

"Do you want some?"

"I won't refuse!"

I take some and we start looking for baby stuff.

"What do you need? Think about what you need for her from 0 to 12 months, because as you know babies grow faster than it seems!"

"I know... So I'll need Newborn sized diapers for sure and baby wipes."

As she tells me what she needs, I note it on my computer because after we will check where we can find those things. But diapers and baby wipes can be found almost everywhere.

"I'll also need clothes. For the first times, I will need a Beginnings bassinet, so she could sleep in my bedroom or even downstairs. I will need a changing table for sure and a crib. Maybe a sleeper so when I travel or go somewhere else, she can have somewhere to sleep. I will need a dresser to put all her clothes and diapers and other stuff. Maybe a glider chair or a rocking chair, because mine broke last year. A car seat and a stroller, that's important. A playpen, because Oliver's is getting old and I don't trust it anymore. I feel like it could break anytime soon. A swing, a bouncer, and a walker could be nice. A high chair, because I threw away Oliver's when he started only using booster seat. A diaper bag would be useful. A playmat like a gym, so I could let her play on the floor sometimes. A carrier would be really helpful, especially if I come back to work before she's one, you know. To take Aaron's place. Pacifiers, a baby monitor, and some toys. I think that's all."

"Will you breastfeed her or no?"

"I think I will."

"So you will need nursing bras and a nursing pillow. And as you can't breastfeed her 24/7, you will need breast pumps which you will have to bring with you everywhere, because you don't know when your books can be full! You will also need some milk storage and baby bottles. Then, I think you'll be in business."

My phone vibrates; I just received an SMS from Spence.

"The new agent arrived today. Her name is Alex Blake and we're going to have dinner at Rossi's to help her feel more as a part of the team, so we won't come tonight. Hope you're having a great day. Take care of yourself, love you <3"

I type back.

"Okay! I hope you'll introduce her to us! Anyway, have fun! Love you too! Xx"

"Who was it?" Emily asks.

"Spence. He and the kids won't come tonight because do the new agent arrived today and they will have dinner at Rossi's."

"Who is the new agent?"

"Some girl names Alex Blake. They will probably introduce her to us soon. Like tomorrow when everybody will come to start making your daughter's room."

"Seems nice," she says, eating an Oreo.

"Do you wanna watch a movie and later we will check where we can buy everything?"

"Sounds good to me," she declares, handling me the Cheetos bag.
