Hayley POV

"This would look adorable on the baby." Rebekah said holding a white onesie that had a hood with bear ears.

"It would, wouldn't it?" I smiled. Rebekah smiled back giving me a nod. 

"Only my little niece will be adorable with it. If it were another baby, it'd look awful." Rebekah giggled and I laughed in response.

"Have you decided a name, yet?" Rebekah asked with an eyebrow raised. 

"No. He's so busy with the Marcel and Davina versus the witches drama he can barely talk nowadays." I answered.

"He only wants what is best for the baby. Besides the tough and at times cruel part of him he does have a soft spot for family. He's not the best at showing it but he tries making it up to me and our family." Rebekah said shrugging.

I took my purse to get my wallet. "I need a new purse." I giggled.

"How long have you had that bloody, no offense, ugly purse?" Rebekah asked staring at my worn out, pink and purple purse.

"Five years." I answered. 

"You know what? This ones on me." Rebekah placed the onesie in the shopping cart.

"You really don't have to." I insisted.

"Consider it a gift for the baby from her auntie." She gave me a playful wink.

"She'll love it. Thank you." I said.

We continued to look around for things the baby would need. It might be a little early but at least we'll be prepared.

"So... how do you feel about my brother?" Rebekah said as we stopped to pay for the items.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I know you two are only living under the same roof because of the baby. But besides that, do you have any feelings towards him?" Rebekah asked with a curious look on her face.

I shrugged in response.

"I... don't know." I sighed looking away from her.

"We have gotten a lot closer. Sometimes I feel like he really cares.. not only about the baby but me, you know?" I said getting Rebekah's attention.

"Is that all?" She replied.

"I do get butterflies when he's around at times.." I said hiding a blush. "Maybe I do feel something for him... but he hasn't said anything so I doubt he'll feel the same." I shook my head.

"Give him time. He's not the best at showing his true feelings." She sighed.

"Yeah, you're right." I agreed with her.

"And if he doesn't share the same mutual feeling, you'll always have me for support." She said.

"Thank you." I said.

"Us girls have to stick together." She added with a smile.
