"Do you think pink walls will be too much?" I ask, looking at swatches of paint.

"Very, let's go with a more subtle look." James grabs a grey swatch from the wall and looks over it carefully. "Then we can get dark wood furniture with pink bedding. I smile and nod.

"Are you secretly an interior designer? That's a really good idea." I tease.

"Decorating nurseries are my hidden talent, I guess." He jokes, flashing me a goofy smile that gives me butterflies.

"Alright, let's get that color paint." I say, walking towards the aisle of paint. "And while you paint the nursery, I'll shop online for cribs." I smile innocently at him.

"You're going to make me do all the hard work?" He ask as I inspected the cans on paint.

"Don't worry, I'll consult you about the crib before I actually buy it." I smile, finding the right paint color and grabbing the can.

"Let me carry it." James said, grabbing the can of paint from the hand carefully. I roll my eyes.

"I can carry it." He shakes his head.

"You're twenty week pregnant, you shouldn't be lifting heavy things."

"It's a can of paint, not a brick."

"Same difference." I roll my eyes again but can't help the smile playing on my lips. "So, I have great news." I hum, looking at at him as we walk towards the next aisle.

"What is it?"

"I got a job at the mall. Now we don't have to get our family to buy everything for us." She smiles proudly.

"That's great. Though, I feel bad having you pay for everything. Maybe I should get a job..." My voice trails off as I search for a paint roller.

"No, you don't need to. At least not while your pregnant and a while afterwards. I don't want you to stress yourself out.

"But-"

"No buts, you're just going to relax and do your job as a mother solely for a while." I pout and he smiles. "Here they are." He said, grabbing a pack of paint roller sponges and two paint rollers. I roll my eyes.

"Alright, let's go. I'm craving pickles." I smirk before walking towards the checkout lane.

~~~

"Why is it so hot in here?" James whines, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Because it's November and thirty-two degrees outside." He groans and continues to paint the walls while I search online for cribs. I take a bite of my pickle and scroll through the catalogue of cribs.

"How's the nursery coming along?" I heard my grandmother ask from the doorway.

"Good, but it would be done a lot faster if someone was helping me." James sighed and stepped off the step ladder. "I'm taking a break. My arm feels like it's going to fall off." He tosses the paint roller on the plastic wrap cover floor and stretched. I chuckled.

"How about this crib?" I ask turning my laptop to face James. He studied it carefully before shaking his head.

"How about that one?" He said, pointing to one next to it. I turn the laptop to face me and think.

"Alright, the color will match the walls nicely." I nod, clicking the checkout button.

"James, I could help you paint the walls-" My grandmother cut in.

"No, it's alright nan. You do enough for us, just go rest." My grandmother smiles and nodded.

"Alright, good luck." She said before leaving. James walks over and sits next to me on the floor.

"So I was thinking we could get-"

"Let's go out tonight." James cuts me off, making me look at him.

"Excuse me?" I chuckle.

"We haven't hung out properly in forever. Let's go out tonight." He smiled at me, which caused my heart to skip a beat.

"Okay, fine. What will we be doing?" I ask, shutting my laptop and crossing my arms over my chest.

"That, is a secret." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"Will you at least tell me if we're staying in or going out?"

"Out, but dress casually." He flashed me another smile before he stood up to continue painting the walls. I bite my lip to hide the smile creeping on my lips.
