'Wow this is a whole lot of baby stuff.' Wilmer says glancing around the venue which is holding the baby show.

'I know. It'll be good to just look around, you know? We might even get to order some bits.' Demi replies smiling. She links her fingers through his and glances up at him.

'I can't believe we actually get to come to something like this. It feels like a dream.' She says and he kisses the top of her head.

'It does. Have you thought about what kind of stroller you'd like? I noticed you were having a look the other day?' He asks and she nods her head.

'I really like the bugaboo bee; it's small and compact meaning it would be easier to travel with.' She replies.

'So do you want that as a travel stroller?' He asks.

'I don't know... Is there really any need for us to have more than one stroller?' She asks and he shrugs his shoulders.

'I don't know. I just thought maybe you'd want a different one for day to day life.' He replies.

'We can look around here and see what we think. Let's go over to bugaboo and I'll show you the one I like.' She says. She leads him over to the area occupied by the Bugaboo company and instantly spots the one she likes.

'That one although I wouldn't want the bright yellow sun canopy

'That one although I wouldn't want the bright yellow sun canopy.' She says causing Wilmer to smile.

'It does look like it would be good to travel with.' He replies.

'Hi, do you need any help?' An older blonde lady asks making her way over to the couple.

'Umm... I think we're just looking just now, thanks.' Demi replies and the woman smiles.

'That is a very popular stroller.' The woman says gesturing to the bee.

'Is it good for travelling? We'll be going between New York and LA a lot?' Wilmer asks as Demi rests her hand on her stomach.

'It is very good for travelling. It folds down very compact and we even sell a bag which prevents it from getting damaged during the fight.' The woman says and Wilmer nods his head.

'Okay. Do you have any brochures we can take away to have a look at?' Wilmer asks.

'Of course, I'll just go get you one.' The woman replies.

'You okay?' Wilmer asks glancing down at Demi as the woman walks away.

'Yeah... It just all seems so real now, you know? We're actually going to have a baby.' She says causing him to smile.

'We are going to have a baby.' He replies.

'I'm so tired.' Demi mumbles as they make their way through the front door. She lies down on the sofa and kicks her shoes off as she watches Wilmer carrying the bags through the door.

'What do you want me to do with these?' He asks and she shrugs her shoulders.

'You could stick them in the room we're going to be using for the baby?' She suggests and he nods his head.

'I guess that would make sense.' He replies smiling. He takes the bags upstairs before returning to living room and sitting down on the sofa with Demi's legs over his knee.

'So I've been thinking about names again.' Demi says.

'Really? Came up with any new ones?' He asks and she nods her head.

'Arielle; it means lioness of God in French apparently.' She says and he smiles.

'That's lovely... I actually really like that.' He replies.

'Have you thought of any?' She asks.

'Georgia. I also really like Charlotte.' He replies.

'I like Charlotte but I feel like it's so overused now.' She says.

'Yeah it's pretty popular, isn't it? What about just Lottie? That's not something you hear often.' He suggests.

'I like it. So we've got Arielle and Lottie.' She says.

'And for a boy?' He asks.

'You'll probably think this is ridiculous but I really like Bear.' She replies.

'Bear?' He asks and she nods her head.

'Bear. I think it's just so cute but it would also be fine when he's like grown up.' She replies.

'Mmm... I might need to think about that for a few days.' He says.

'You don't like it do you?' She asks.

'I don't dislike like it but it's just not a name that I would have thought of myself.' He replies.

'I feel like today really made everything feel so real. Looking at strollers and buying diapers was just something I never expected to be doing, not after everything.' She says and he nods his head.

'How are you feeling about our therapy session tomorrow?' He asks and she shrugs her shoulders.

'Little bit nervous...' She replies.

'Really? Why?' He asks and she sighs.

'I just don't want things to get worse between us.' She admits.

'That's why we're doing this, nena. We have to openly talk to each other if this is going to work.' He says and she nods her head.

'I know. I just- I'm tired.' She mumbles causing him to smile.

'Sleep... I'll wake you later and we can have some dinner.' He says.

'I love you.' She almost whispers.

'I love you too.' He replies.

Bit of a change to the schedule; I'm not going to be able to update tomorrow so I'm putting it up tonight. I hope you enjoy it!
