Week 16

Ashton (his pov)

"If it swings back and forth it's a girl and if it goes in a circle it's a boy," Mandy read the instructions on her phone, laid out on the couch as I unclasped my necklace chain then slid my wedding ring through it.  With Mandy's appointment in a couple of weeks, we trying and going down the list of every old wives tale to see if we could guess the gender. "Alright, here it goes," I dropped the chain over her stomach and it began to swing then went in a circle. "Looks like a boy," I exclaimed but Mandy shook her head, "No, you moved it, Ash. It was swinging," I opened my mouth in shock, "No I didn't," I defended, "The ring went in a circle." She rolled her eyes laughing, "I don't believe you but fine. Another tally for boy." I picked up the notepad on the coffee table then clicked the pen and drew a line in the 'boy' column. "That's six for boy and four for girl," I said counting the tallies then I looked up at Mandy grinning, "Seems like baby Irwin is a boy, Mans."  

Calum (his pov) 

I hummed and tapped my fingers on the steering wheel along to the song playing on the radio. Rachel began to speak but then stopped mid-sentence and looked down, placing a hand on her stomach. "Everything alright, Rache?" I asked, quickly taking my eyes off the road. "Yeah, I think  the baby move." She seemed a bit freak out with her eyebrows scrunched in confusion. "Really?" I hadn't realized but my excitement caused my foot pushed further down on the gas causing the car to go faster. She nodded, "It felt butterfly-like," a smile started to slowly form on her face. "I want to feel," I said reaching my arm over and putting my hand on her little bump. After a second passed she said, "I think only I can feel it." I playfully pouted, removing my hand then dragging it down to hers, holding it in a tight grip. At a red light I looked over at her and could tell she was enjoying this little moment between only her and our baby. "I'm sure you'll be able to feel it soon, Cal." 

Luke (his pov) 

"Sam, someones here for you," I called out to Sam as I let Mandy inside. "Oh hey, Mandy. Did we have something planned?" Sam walked in, confused why she was there. "No, I called her. Since I'm going to be at a meeting for work, Mandy's going to the store with you." I said answering for Mandy. "Why? You think I need to be watched over?" Sam said, trying to control her temper in front of Mandy. "Of course not, I just thought since you've been awfully forgetful lately it might be nice to have someone go with you to help," I said in the sweetest, calmest tone possible, "You were telling me the other day how frustrated you were. All I'm trying to do is help you out, Sam." Sam's eyes looked at me then Mandy then back at me again. "Alright fine," she stubbornly said. Mandy broke the ice, "You ready to go, Sam? Got your grocery list?" Sam scanned the kitchen, "Yes, let me just grab it- I forgot where-" I cut her off handing it to her"Here it is."

Michael (his pov) 

"How about this room," I pointed to the bedroom down the hall. "It's nice and big." With my busy schedule, Charlotte and I are trying to get an early jump on the nursey. We're also known to procrastinate and say we'll do it tomorrow then never do it so we're trying to give ourselves as much time as possible. "No, we're doing this room because it's right across from our bedroom and we won't have to walk all the way done the hall in the middle of the night." Another reason why we procrastinate- we can never agree on anything. "Alright," I sighed then said, "I don't really understand why you ask my opinion when were just going to end up doing what you want," I said half irritated, half teasing. She laughed, "I'm sorry, Michael. I do care about your opinion but I'm the pregnant one so I get to decide most things. I promise you can pick the paint colors tomorrow." I grinned pulling her into a hug, "Okay, tomorrow I'll pick the wrong shades of paint."
