"You hungry?" Josh asks as he hops up onto the counter beside me in the kitchen making me chuckle as I furrow my eyebrows at him.

"I'm pregnant. I'm always hungry" I reply. "Is there a reason you're asking me such a silly question while I prepare breakfast?"

"Because after breakfast I was thinking we could go and get something off our check list."

"Oh yea?" I question, popping a donut hole into my mouth. "What would that be?" I ask curiously while I scramble eggs on the stove.

"We need a cake" he smiles making my eyes widen in excitement. A cake tasting would be so much fun and I what more could a pregnant girl want than to eat cake all day?

"When did you have time to schedule a cake tasting?" I laugh, reaching forward to turn off the stove. "All this last minute wedding planning is running us a little thin."

"Agreed but luckily we chose my sister in law to cater the happy occasion so I literally just had to call her and ask if she could shut down Topanga's for a day" he shrugs. "And since I'm her favorite brother in law she was all too happy to agree."

"Okay but what are we doing with Ems?" I ask confusedly.

"She's coming with us. Topanga picked Lily up this morning too so I thought the girls could help us pick out our cake. I mean they are the experts" he adds making me chuckle.

"I suppose they are" I agree with a soft laugh. "You know" I add as I reach up and wrap my arms around his neck. "You never cease to surprise me."

"Good. That's the goal" he smiles, leaning down to peck my lips. "I love you."

"I love you too" I reply contentedly.

"Is breakfast done?" Emma asks as she walks into the room clutching Olaf.

"Mhm" I hum. "Josh can you get her something to drink?"

"Yea" he nods. "What would you like kiddo?" he asks, pulling open the fridge and leaning against the open door while he awaits our daughter's response.

"Chocolate milk" she exclaims. He nods, grabbing the gallon out of the fridge and reaching up above my head for a cup.

"Here you go baby girl" I smile, sliding her plate of eggs across the counter to her.

Emma places Olaf on the chair next to her and digs into her breakfast while Josh sets her cup beside her plate. "So kiddo" Josh starts as he leans against the counter beside me. "How would you like to come with your mom and me to pick out a cake for the wedding?"

Her eyes widen and she drops her fork in excitement. "Cake?"

"Yes cake" Josh laughs. "That sound like fun?"

"Can Olaf come?"

Josh sighs, bowing his head while a string of laughter falls from my lips. "Why don't we leave Olaf home this time" I suggest. "Lily will be there to keep you company."

"Lily is gonna come?" she exclaims.

"Yep. She might already be there actually."

"Can we go now?" she asks, beginning to jump up and down in her seat impatiently making me chuckle as I shake my head.

"Finish your breakfast then we'll all get dressed and get ready to go. Okay?"

"Okay mama" she nods as she forks another bite of eggs into her mouth.

"Good girl" I smile, leaning forward and ruffling her hair.
