The Story of Dean and Ziggy

Chapter 19:

Ziggy was sitting down on the couch in her house.

She struggled to reach for her shoes.

"Thing, you're killing me!" She groaned at her baby.

Dean popped his head around the door.

"Did you just call our unborn child Thing, Zig?"

"Well we haven't come up with a name yet, have we?" Ziggy pointed out as she gave up on trying to put on her shoes.

"Yeah, I guess we have a lot of decisions to make," Dean said.

"I couldn't agree more," Ziggy gave a nod of her head.

"I'll put the kettle on," Dean muttered as he walked over into the kitchen.

"It's crazy that our baby is going to be here in less than two weeks and we have so much to sort through. Which names do you like?"

"Well it's a bit hard to try and pick as we're waiting for the birth to find out the gender. We can write down a list of names that we like and we can try sort through them," Dean put in.

"Okay, sounds like a plan. What about where we're going to live? It's not like we can live here. It wouldn't be fair on Mum and dad to be living with a screaming baby. As well as that, it's not like the three of us can live in your caravan. There's barely enough room for one person!"  Ziggy threw her hands up in the air.

"I still have the money that I got off of my dad. We could try to find a house here," Dean said.

"Dean, it's your money! You don't have to spend it on us," Ziggy retorted.

"Are you joking? You and our kid are the most important people in my life. I would do anything for you and I want us to be a family," Dean bent down in front of Ziggy as he held her hand.

"You can be really sweet," Ziggy beamed at him.

"Well don't tell anyone. It will ruin my hard man rep," Dean grinned cheekily as he laced his fingers between Ziggy's.

Ever since Ziggy had returned from her stay with Coco, the chemistry between her and Dean had been undeniable.

They had such a strong friendship that led to an all consuming relationship, which had its highs and lows.

When it was good, it was good.

Nothing would ever stop Ziggy Astoni and Dean Thompson from loving each other.

Dean walked into Salt to see Colby sitting at a table in the corner.

"All on your lonesome tonight, huh?" Dean commented.

"I could say the same thing about you," Colby shot back.

"Nah, I'm just waiting to collect takeaway and I'm bringing it back to Ziggy's," Dean pulled out a chair.

Colby put down his phone.

"It still freaks me out that in a few days there will be a little you around town," he was shaking his head.

"You're freaking me out? How do you think I feel?" Dean gave an anxious giggle.

"Well do you have everything ready?"

"Actually we've sorted out a good few things today. We're deciding a baby name for either gender. We have clothes, nappies and everything like that ready. Tomorrow we're going to start looking for a place to live," Dean told him.

"I didn't think that you and Zig would be living together," Colby confessed sheepishly.

"Why not? We're having a kid together!"
