TRIGGER WARNING: a still birth (where the baby dies during or right after being born) :(
(y/n pov)
"What happened?" E asked, helping you down the stairs. You frowned.
"My feet are cold."
"You're literally wearing socks, my love." You looked up at him with a frown.
"So?" He nodded and kissed you on the head as you got to the bottom.
"I'll get you another pair." You waddled down to the couch and sat down, a hand on your back. Sylvia walked over. The three-year-old scrambled up and into your lap to kiss your stomach.
"Hello baby," She said with a giggle. You smiled, pushing her hair out of her face. "Baby say hi?"
"She's kicking, yeah," You whispered. She smiled and pressed her hand to your stomach, only for her to pull away giggling.
"Tickles!" You pressed a kiss to your niece's head. "Ucle E?"
"He's getting me socks," You told her as she crawled down to head to her boxes of toys. She turned and frowned.
"Got socks!"
"I know, but we're still cold." She giggled and bent into her box. Gray walked in, newborn in his arms.
"Isn't it nap time?" He asked. Sylvia turned to him with a frown. "Come on, its quiet time, let's go," He whispered. He held out his hand, wiggling his fingers.
"But play daddy?"
"I think you've been playing all day, hm?" She looked at you and you gave her a smile as E came down with some fluffy socks.
"Gotta recharge your batteries, cookie," Ethan said, kneeling in front of you. You smiled as she gave you a stuffed elephant.
"For baby," She said, patting your tummy before she took Gray's hand. Grayson smiled and led her up. "Wake up baby bored," She told you.
"Sure, I'll come get you if she gets lonely, sweetie," You said. She yawned and waved bye, heading up. Gray helped her up the stairs and you turned back to Ethan just as he finished getting the second sock on.
"There," He said, standing. "Better?" You nodded and he sat back to you.
He leaned back into the couch and you fell back against his side. He wrapped an arm around you. "Thank you, E."
"You're ery welcome." You sat in silence for a moment. "So, I've been meaning to talk to you about something." You looked up.
"Hm?"
"Well- I was gonna tell you last night but then Syl climbed into bed- the child's obsessed with you." You laughed.
"I think she likes the baby more," You said with a smile. E sat up. "So what is it?"
"Well- you know, we're gonna have the baby and all in a week or so and well-" He paused. "I just like, I mean, we don't really have a nursery or anything." You looked up.
"But Gray's got it all set up in Sylvia's room, yeah?" He nodded with a shrug.
"Well yeah but," He paused. "They can't share forever." You frowned. "Maybe just for a few months when he's born and then..."
"Then?"
"So I, like, bought a house." Your eyes widened. "For us."
"A house?" He nodded. "What the fuck?"
"Yeah- it's not as big as Gray's obviously, but there are fourish rooms? A few bathrooms?"
"E-"
