Em wakes up to the sound of David's alarm going off. She turns over and sees him scrolling on his phone.
"Hey baby, how you feeling?" he asks her.
"Good. I'm excited that I'm getting closer and closer to 20 weeks," she smiles.
"17 weeks today right?" he asks.
"Yeah the symptoms for this week are increased bodily fluids, weird dreams, itchy boobs and belly, more rapid weight gain, and stretch marks," she explains.
"Does that mean I finally get to use that lotion I got for you for your stretch marks and for your itchy skin?" he asks.
"You better show that to me because I'm gonna need it sooner than later," she replies, wanting to know where they are in case she needs it when he's not around.
"I'll put it on top of your dresser," he informs her, as he gets up from bed.
"Alright, go get ready for skate, while I make you breakfast," she orders, getting up from bed.
She heads to the kitchen and gets started on breakfasf. After half an hour, she has pancakes, eggs, bacon, home fries, sausage, and toast all made, alongside coffee.
"Babe, this is a lot!" David cries out, as he sees the entire spread set up on the dining room table.
"Eat up, mister. You need enough energy for skate and for the game," she orders, sitting down.
He sits down and starts eating his food. She starts eating her food as well and they talk about the upcoming game and how Carolina could be a difficult opponent for them. Eventually, they finish eating and Em cleans up the table as David grabs his things to leave.
As she's cleaning the kitchen, he hugs her from behind.
"Bye baby, see you later," he smiles, kissing her.
"Bye baby, have a great skate," she smiles, kissing him.
He leaves the condo and she finishes cleaning the kitchen. She then goes to the room and grabs her Macbook. She works on the baby registry as well as looking at more items for the nursery. She also looks at more homes but can't help but think the home they'll be seeing the following day is the home they like the most. After a half hour, she heads to the kitchen to work on some food. She decides to make yellow rice with corn with grilled chicken. She also decides to add fried yellow plantains and a fresh salad to the menu. As she finishes seasoning the chicken, David arrives from skate. He goes to the kitchen and hug her from behind.
"Hi baby, you making chicken?" he asks her, kissing the back of her neck.
"Yes, I am. The rest is a surprise though. So go take your nap. The food will be ready once you're awake again," she practically orders him.
"Okay, you're the boss," he teases, causing Em to elbow him in the ribs playfully.
"Abuse!" he cries out in mock pain, before leaving the kitchen.
He goes to the room and sets his alarm. He gets into bed and quickly falls asleep. Meanwhile, Em works on finishing the late lunch/early dinner. After about an hour, the food is ready and she sets the dining table. He walks into the dining room, just as she finishes setting the table.
"The food looks great, babe," he smiles, kissing her.
"Thank you, my love. It was all made with love," she smiles.
He sits down and she serves him a healthy plate of the food. She then serves herself before sitting down. They start eating together and talk about the game later as well as the house they'll be seeing tomorrow with the realtor.
