15- The Baby Shower

(Note: the timeline is a bit messed up and might not make a ton of sense but it's for the plot lol)

Tina's POV:

School has been okay considering none of my clothes fit anymore. I keep getting bigger and bigger, and now the baby is the size of a banana at twenty weeks. (small time skip)

My stomach is very visible now, and I got a 3D scan just the other day. We saw her yawn in the womb. It was adorable.

The ultrasound tech said that it looks like she has a lot of hair. I wonder if it's like mine or Zeke's. I envy Zeke's curls.

She has my nose, and from what I can tell, full lips, that definitely look like Zeke's. She's my daughter.

Time is flying, and I'm actually having to wear maternity clothes now. And surprisingly, Dad has been obsessed with his granddaughter.

He makes sure I have everything I need, and buys everything he sees at the store that he thinks the baby will like.

He bought a toy cooking set with a spatula. He's excited to teach her how to cook.

In like, ten years.

He keeps showing me different articles he reads on the development of the baby, explaining what parts of her are growing.

I expected Mom to be more like that. And she is. But dad? He's like an entirely new person. He's...bubbly!

I'm already officially half way through the pregnancy, which also means Zeke's dad is going to be out of jail in less than two months.

Zeke says he'll handle it. He already has a court date to see if he can get emancipated, so he can get an apartment where we can raise the baby during and after college. That's the plan anyways.

He has a second job at a mechanic, and I think he really enjoys it. I'm glad he's doing something he likes at least.

I, on the other hand, rake in money with a different kind of job. I'm just a cashier at a clothing store, but it works. And on Sunday's, I work at a church nursery and help look after the babies. Which helps me with both experience and money.

Zeke surprised me with a crib he bought and built himself. I have a small area of my room where the baby will sleep.

I got rid of my desk so I can fit everything, which means I don't have a space to blog and write friend fiction. But that's okay. I can still write it in bed or on my laptop.

The crib has a nice firm mattress and blankets with elephants on it. Overhead is a mobile with little woodland creatures. Inside, is a plush horse. Maybe she'll be a girl after my own heart. A horse lover.

Other than that, we've stocked up on baby clothes and diapers, and I'm deciding to breastfeed. It'll save money, and probably help me bond with her.

We still don't have a name, but there's time to figure it out. A name doesn't just happen overnight. It has to be perfect.

Mom has some crazy suggestions, and won't stop calling her Linda Jr.

Every day, I always find that mom and dad have purchased more baby stuff. I haven't even had a baby shower yet!

Pacifiers, bibs, diapers diapers and more diapers, and lots of teething toys for when she's a bit older.

I'm so lucky to be supported this much. I love my daughter already, and I can't wait to meet her. She hasn't kicked yet, but the doctor isn't worried. It could take until I'm twenty five weeks to feel her kick.
