(Emily's POV)

"Ems, wake up!", I hear someone say softly. I groan as I plant my face into the pillow, "I'm tired!", I say groggily as I pull the covers over me, feeling them get ripped off of me, "Daniel, I'm tired!", I say as I open my eyes, sitting up. Daniel smiles at me and kisses me on the cheek, "Well, your always sleeping, let's do something fun today!", he says softly. I sigh, "Fine, what do you want to do?", I ask as I sit up, rubbing my eyes. Daniel smiles, "I was thinking we could do some baking today!", he says with a small smile. I nod, "Okay, that's fine", I say softly. Daniel smiles, "Wanna bake some cookies?", he asks. I sigh softly, "Sure!", I say. Daniel smiles, "Great! I'll get everything ready downstairs", he says happily as he goes downstairs. I sigh as I walk downstairs, feeling tired and weary, "I made you some breakfast, I hope you like it!", says Daniel as he puts a plate of pancakes on the table. I sigh, pushing the pancakes away, "Ems, what's wrong?", asks Daniel as he comes over to me. I shake my head, "Nothing it's just, I'm not feeling the best", I say softly. Daniel nods, "I understand, wanna just start baking?", he asks. I smile softly, "Sure!", I say. Daniel smiles, taking my hand, "Let's go bake some cupcakes", he says with a smile. I nod, "Okay", I say softly as I put on an apron. Daniel puts on an apron, smiling at me, "I have never seen you wear an apron", he says with a small smile. I raise my eyebrows, "Really? I cooked with you before Daniel, you just don't remember me in an apron", I say with a small smile. Daniel laughs, "Well hopefully, I can do it with you more", he says as he comes over to me, hugging my waist. I smile, "I know Daniel and we will", I say as I lean my head on his shoulder. Daniel kisses me on the cheek and walks to the cupboard, "What kind of cookies do you wanna make?", he asks. I shrug my shoulder, "How about sugar cookies?", I ask. Daniel smiles, "Perfect! You sit on the couch while I get the batter", he says. I cross my arms and sigh, "Daniel, I wanna help", I say in a pouty voice. Daniel sighs, "But you need to rest", he says softly. I sigh, "Daniel, I've had enough sleep and rest, please just let me doing something", I say softly. Daniel laughs, "Okay then but, don't complain to me when you don't get enough sleep", he says. I smile, "I won't", I say. Daniel smiles, "Let's get to baking", he says happily. We get the ingredients and start to bake, "Daniel, can you please stop treating me like a little kid?", I ask softly as I crack the eggs, pouring them into the batter. Daniel looks at me softly, "I'm not trying to Ems, I just want you to be cautious about how you're treating yourself", he says softly. I roll my eyes, "I know how to treat myself, Daniel, I'm not stupid", I say, slightly annoyed. Daniel looks at me softly, "I'm sorry Ems, I keep underestimating you", he says softly, taking the dough in his hands and rolling it around. I nod, "It's fine", I say softly as I help roll the dough, rolling the dough in my hands. We then put the dough on the platter, finally putting the platter into the oven, "Ems, please forgive me", he says softly. I go and sit on the couch, sighing, "Daniel, you keep underestimating me, I don't like that", I say a tad bit annoyed. Daniel sighs, "I'm sorry Ems, I just wanna protect you, you mean everything to me", he says sadly. I look at him, sighing, "I know that Daniel but, I'm a big girl, I can do stuff on my own", I say annoyed. Daniel nods, "Okay, be that way", he says a tad bit annoyed as he gets up off the couch, heading upstairs. I sigh, feeling like crying when I hear a knock on the door, "Coming", I yell out as I get up off the couch, heading towards the door. I open the door to see Charlotte smiling at me, "Hey Charlotte!", I say happily as I give her a hug. Charlotte hugs me back, letting go, "Hey, you know where Daniel is? I need to talk to him about some things", he says softly. I look at her concerned, "Are you okay?", I ask softly. Charlotte nods, "Yeah, I just need to talk to him about some stuff", she says. I nod, "He's upstairs, we are having a thing", I say softly. Charlotte tilts her head, "Gosh Daniel, such a grumpy person", she says with a chuckle. I smile, "Yep, that's him", I say. Charlotte smiles, "I'll be upstairs, thank you so much", she says happily as she heads upstairs. I sigh, feeling myself get worked up, "Keep it in Emily", I say to myself, taking deep breaths. I then hear the oven go off, knowing the cupcakes are ready. I sigh as I go over to the oven, taking the cupcakes out. I then put them on the counter to cool. I look to see Charlotte and Daniel come downstairs, "I'll be sure to talk to Dad about that," says Daniel. Charlotte nods and walks out the door. Daniel then looks at me, "Are the cookies done?", he asks as he looks to see the platter with the cookies. I nod, "Yes, I'm just waiting for them to cool", I say softly. Daniel sighs, "Ems, tomorrow I have to go to work for something important, I won't be home till late, will you be okay being here alone?", he asks softly. I look up at him and nod, "Okay, just making sure", he says. Daniel then hugs me, "Emy, I'm so sorry please forgive me", he says softly as he lets go of me, looking at me. I look away from him, shuffling my feet, "Please honey, I wanna be a better husband and father just please forgive me, I'll do better", he says softly. I sigh, "I forgive you", I say, still looking down at my feet. Daniel smiles, lifting my head to look at him, "Thank you so much, I love you so much", he says with a smile. I smile softly, "Me too", I say. Daniel then kisses me on the forehead, "Let's go sit on the couch", he says as he takes my hand, pulling me towards the couch. I go with him, feeling tired as I sit on the couch, laying my head on his shoulder. Daniel strokes my dirty blond hair, "I'm sorry for everything I told you", he says softly. I nod, "It's fine, I overreact sometimes and I'm sorry for that", I say softly. Daniel nods, rubbing my shoulder, "I understand, you don't wanna be treated like a baby, I'm sorry", he says softly. I nod, snuggling close to him, "I'm sorry I yelled at you and gave you crap", I say. Daniel wraps his arm around me, "It's okay, I forgive you but do you forgive me?", he asks. I look up at him, his soft brown eyes looking sad, "Yes, I forgive you, I told you that", I say with a small smile. Daniel smiles and kisses me on the lips, smiling at me as he takes a breath, "Thank you, hun, I was just making sure", he says. I smile as I close my eyes, falling asleep.

(Daniel's POV)

"Hey, Ems, wanna go somewhere tomorrow?", I ask softly. Silence. I look down to see Emily asleep on my shoulder. I smile, knowing she hasn't had much sleep because of the baby, "I'm sorry Ems, 2 more months to go", I say as I stroke her hair. I then get up off the couch slowly, careful not to wake up Emily. I pick her up, carrying her like a baby as I carry her upstairs into bed. I set her on our bed, pulling the covers over her, "Daniel.....", she says tiredly. I shush her, kissing her on the forehead, "Go to sleep hun, you need it", I say as I shut the door softly. I peek inside to see Emily asleep. I sigh, knowing I can do some stuff, "Hopefully she can get some sleep", I say to myself. I then go downstairs, hearing someone knock on the door, "Coming!", I say as I walk to the door. I look to see it's Jack, with a pot in his hands, "Hey Jack!", I say with a smile as I let him in. Jack smiles and nods, "Hey Daniel! Just came by to bring some soup for Emily, I know the baby is making her sick so, I wanted to help her settle her stomach by making some soup well, actually, Amanda made it", he says with a small smile. I smile, "Thank you so much for bringing it over! Tell Amanda thank you and Emily appreciates it!", I say as I take the pot, putting it on the counter. Jack smiles, "I will, where's Emily?", he asks softly. I sigh, "Sleeping, I'm trying to give her as much sleep as possible, the baby hasn't been very nice to her", I say sadly. Jack tilts his head, "Well, you wanted to have a baby right?", he asks. I nod, "Yeah but, I didn't realize that it would take a big toll on her, I told her when she was ready, we can try and she told me she was ready but, I don't think she was ready to carry a baby, not yet", I say softly. Jack sighs, "Daniel, she's gonna be okay, in 2 months you'll be holding your daughter in your arms, trust me, it's worth it to be in pain for her but, it turns out to be a beautiful daughter you're gonna be a father to", he says with a small smile. I smile, "I know but, I hate seeing Emily in pain, it kills me, I just want her to be happy", I say softly. Jack pats my shoulder, "I know but, she won't be in pain for long, think about it, you're gonna have a daughter and how happy are you to be a father?", he asks with a small smile. I smile, "Very happy, I can't wait", I say. Jack raises his eyebrows, "Then, it was worth it!", he says as he pats my shoulder again. I nod, "Thanks", I say. Jack waves, "Well, I'm gonna head out, tell Emily that she is doing great and to hang in there and that I said hi!", he says as he closes the door. I sigh, heading upstairs to see Emily sitting up in bed, reading a book, "Ems, you should be sleeping", I say as I walk into our room. Emily sighs, "I can't, the baby is bothering me", she says softly. I sigh, "Look, I'm so sorry you have to go through this, don't worry, your due date is almost here", I say as I sit next to her in bed. Emily raises her eyebrows, "I'm gonna be in more pain when I'm due", she says in a whiny tone. I sigh, "Loo, you aren't gonna be like this forever, now get some sleep, you need it", I say as I turn off the light, getting in bed next to Emily. I pull the covers over us, more on Emily and close our eyes. I then cuddle Emily, wrapping my arms around her, making her feel safe and comfortable.
