Amyplier

Chapter Ninety Eight.

Amy's Point of View:

     "OK" Eve says, Walking around the table to sit besides me "Obviously diapers are a must have but you also need other things which I figure you knew but even if you didn't" She pauses and I look to Mark across the table "I made a list" I watch the notebook as she slides it over towards me. "How do you know we need these things though?" Mark asks, Placing his hands on top of the table. "Because I couldn't have made it without them" She confidently speaks and nods towards him. I swear, One moment I am completely overwhelmed while the next I feel so prepared. Eve said we should go ahead and get some of the items on her list but I was going to wait until babies furniture arrived. I sigh  before making eye contact with Eve again "Is there any way we can borrow some of Blaire's items?" I ask, Looking past her and over towards Mark. I watch as she nods "You still have to buy diapers, bottles, Cleaner for bottles, Baby shampoo and body wash, a bath, crib sheets.." She goes on before I shake my head at her. I watch as she laughs "Ok ok" I laugh "We'll get that stuff later today, Not all of it but some but as for now Little bit has an appointment we must attend" I stand before Eve leans over and gives me a hug "I'll call after our appointment, Promise" I wave to her and pass Mark as I go down the hall. I hear Mark tell her goodbye and then follow me out the door.

     Since last time, The first time I came here, I never really like it. The air is stiff and the chairs are the same. After placing my name on the board, I sat beside Mark in the stiff leather chairs and placed my hand in his. Looking for some kind of comfort. His thumb strums over the back of my hand as the door opens "Amy Nelson?" The nice blonde who looks no older then twenty calls my name. I stand and wait for Mark to join before he follows me back, His hand still in mine.

     "So" The Dr says "You know this could be the appointment to know the gender right?" I watch as he smiles towards both Mark and I. Looking to Mark I watch as he nods his head "I think we would like to know" I smile and watch as he puts on a fresh pair of gloves. I lean back into the bed type thing and watch as he turns the machine back on and takes the sonogram stick off "Lets find out then".

     "Ready" Mark states rather than asks "I don't think I could wait any longer" He rubs his hands together before starting his car. I strap my seatbelt over me "Actually" I look over to him "McDonalds and then shopping" I smile before watching as he leans over and pecks my cheek. I watch as he puts the car in reverse "Anything for you" He practically squeals and begins to drive off, Now into our exciting journey.

     I find it funny how I used to think this situation was bad and how Mark and I made a poor choice but now as we know the gender and other things about our baby, I don't think I could feel happier. I refuse to let the items that our baby needs distract me from the love that I already feel for it. In fact, As soon as we got to McDonalds Kathryn texted and said that a big piece of furniture was sitting on the porch and that we needed to come home and put it together. Just another sign showing me that every things going to be put in it's place soon and theres nothing to worry about except producing a happy and healthy baby.

     "No stupid, That screw goes in the opposite side" I yell from his office chair we still haven't put in the basement. I him Mark sigh before going to the opposite side "It doesn't fit there" He says, Dropping the screw "You know, I really wish both the crib and the bookshelf hadn't come at the same time" He sighs again before retrying. I look to the bottom of the directions and see the words upside down before flipping the page over "Oh" I drag out, Then look to Mark smiling. 

"They were upside down weren't they" 

"No"

     "That would have gone a lot smoother if Amy knew how to read directions" Mark looks at me over the table and I roll my eyes back at him. I notice Ethan putting his fork into his bowl "All that matters is that most of the furniture is in the nursery now" He finishes, Taking a bite of his noodles. "No because we still need a rocking chair and a dresser" I look at him before taking a forkful of noodles. "Thats why I said most" He almost yells. The room gets and stays quiet for a minute or two before Kathryn speaks up "How many moths are you again?" She looks to me and then Mark. I look to Mark "Six" I say, Scooping up more noodles. "Christmas?" She raises her eyebrows. "You betcha" I roll my eyes and laugh. I have to admit, At first I hated only talking about baby things but now as I sit at the table with my bestest friends talking about them, I couldn't be happier
