Em wakes up to the sound of David's alarm going off. She sits up and turns around to see him turning off the alarm.

"Good morning. How'd my babies sleep?" he asks.

"Good. I'm shocked I haven't started getting Braxton Hicks yet," she informs him.

"I'm sure it'll start happening soon," he assures her.

"Even though it's uncomfortable it's good for it to happen. It means your body is practicing for labor," she explains.

"I don't know if I'm ready for you to go into labor. The guys have told me about their wives' labor and I'm not ready," he admits.

"You'll make it out fine, babe. You're gonna be the most supportive baby daddy ever," she assures him.

"I sure hope so," he adds, before getting up.

Em gets up as well and heads to the kitchen while David freshens up in the bathroom. She makes the coffee while he makes breakfast. Once breakfast is done, they go to the living room to eat on the couch. Em turns on SportsCenter and they catch up on all the latest highlights from the night prior. After eating, they clean up and David grabs his things to leave for skate.

"Bye baby. I'll see you after skate," he kisses her.

"Bye drive safe," she smiles.

He grabs his things and leaves the condo. Em puts on some salsa music and decides to pack for the move to the house that will be happening very soon. The result of the game later tonight will determine when exactly the move will happen. When David arrives, he's met with the sound of music playing through the speakers and the sight of his pregnant girlfriend packing up the guest rooms.

"Hi baby," he smiles, entering the 2nd guest room.

"Hi, how was skate?" she asks, as he bends down to kiss her.

"Good. Do you need help?" he asks, as she sits on her knees on the carpet.

"Just help me up, please," she replies, raising her hands up.

He helps her up and she smiles at him. "Thank you."

"My family all wishes us good luck," she informs him.

"Tell them I said thank you. I'm glad they like me, to be honest. I was scared they'd hate me because I got you pregnant so fast," he admits.

"They'd hate you if you were a deadbeat and a total jackass! But you're one of the sweetest guys ever and they see that. How could they ever not like you when you're so hard not to like?" she asks.

"Well when you put it that way, it's hard to not agree," he teases.

"You're annoying," she groans playfully, shoving him.

"That's why you love me," he teases.

"Anyway, it's nap time and I need to make us food," she announces.

He gets into bed and she goes to the kitchen and decides to make white rice with chicken teriyaki. After an hour, dinner is ready and she sets the table. David comes out of the room and makes his way to the dining room table.

"It smells great, babe," he smiles, kissing her.

"It was made with love," she smiles back.

Her smile quickly fades as she feels a sharp tightness in her uterus.

"You okay babe?" he asks, a look of worry on his face.

"Braxton Hicks are finally here," she informs him.
