Paternity Wanted 20/?
Summary: Nora is back.
27 weeks along
Kitty is sitting in the kitchen aisle wating for her mother who had sent her a messsage asking her to meet her in her house, when she heard some weird noises in the backyard, she promptly walked to the back door and opened, other way it would have been broken by the gigantic double stroller her mother was trying to pass through it.
- easy mom! it won't pass through!
- i got it under control!
- you sure do mother! you are going to either break the doorframe or my hand!
- ok - nora stops struggling with the stroller - you do it.
It took Kitty several minutes to figure out the stroller could actually be separated in two and once both were inside the kitchen, Nora came back outside.
where are you going!
- have to get the rest!
- the rest? Kitty follows her mother to her car where she is unloading a big box with a even bigger basket on top, she can barely keep her balance
- mom! what is this!!
- presents! presents for the baby shower!
- baby shower? for who!
- kitty, do not act like a fool, i am stressed enough to have to deal with you too - nora walks to the house and enters only to be back a few seconds later. kitty is still by the car, dumfounded.
- how many stuffs can you car carry? - kitty asks as her mother opens the back doors and start getting more boxes and bags
- are you gonna help me? this one is heavy
Kitty sighs and helps her mother who rolls her eyes at her and grab some bags. It took them 3 trips to unload the car completely. Once they are done, Nora moves everything to the living room and starts checking one of the boxes.
- mom, baby shower for who? - Kitty asks again
. kitty, really, stop it... you know
- no mom, I don't...... wait a minute - a lightbulb goes on on Kitty's head - ... mother you did not
- did not what? - nora is getting frustrated by her daughter's cluelessness
- Nora walker, please tell me you have a friend you think I know about whose daughter or granddaughter is pregnant and you offered to do the shopping for her and this has nothing to do with Kevin and Scotty. Tell me this is just a coincidence
- A friend? Kitty what are you even talking about! and why would I offer to do someone else's shopping! Do you think I have nothing better to do with my life?
- you cannot throw kevin and scotty a baby shower!
- why!!!
- because scotty doesn't want one!
- yesterday's scotty didn't want one, today's scotty does. Now help me to get all this ready before he changes his mind again.
- I thought they wanted to wait until the baby girl was safe
- she is, she is actually developing faster so whenever the baby turns and is in position, scotty is ready for the c-section - nora explains
- how come no one told me about this shower?
- i am telling you now
- well when are you throwing it
- today, later this afternoon
- oh mom, you knew I wanted to get the crib - sarah who has just entered the room points at a box next to kitty and stares at her mother
- a crib? - kitty says in shock - you got them a crib?
sarah throws her purse which falls in the sofa and gets down to check the box - it is not even the one they want
- it is the best quality! - nora defends herself
- oh my god mother! this is worse than my baby shower! what are we supposed to get them? - kitty gets down next to sarah and together they start to check every box and plastic bag
- please tell me you didn't get two of everything in blue and pink - sarah says in an admonishing tone as she holds 2 bottles.
- not everything..... some things.....
- but what am I supposed to get them now, diapers? you knew I was going to get them the crib!
- please tell me this car seat box is just that and there is not a real car seat inside.... - kitty stares at her mother who only shrugs
- they are my very last grandchildren! i have the right to spoil them!
- pacifiers? really mom? pacifiers?
- they were on sale
- this is too much mom, you are making me jealous, you got them everything and then some! baby showers are supposed to be for all friends and family to get them things, not only one person!
- are you trying to sabotage this baby shower nora walker?
- what no!
- there is absolutely nothing we, or justin or saul or jonathan for that matter can get them that you didn't already!
- I was supposed to buy that crib, i was.
- there is one thing I didn't buy, if you figure it out, go get it - nora says defiantly
Both sisters stared at each other for a momen and then started to franatically check every item to find out what it was....
- you are impossible! you got them everything!
- mom? did you get them... slings? - kitty asks and sarah gasps as she had just thought about the very same thing
- ok... here's the deal..... sarah stop! don't go anywhere yet... ok, the one who makes it first to the car goes getthe sling, the other helps me to organise everything and can claim of of the presents as hers... - both sisters get up and put in position to run
- ready, set... go!
- morning sweety - Scotty kisses his husband's cheek who smiles as he turns around to face him
- what are you doing all dressed? don't we have a deal? we wake up in each other's arms every morning? - Kevin says between yawns
- well, technically is not morning, it is 1 already. I tried to wake you in the morning but you only mumbled and started to snore. was needed at the restaurant
- and you just left me like that? to wake up alone and cold? - Kevin seems upset but scotty knows he is only trying to make him feel guilty
- i did leave a note on my pillow....
Kevin's smile mirrors on scotty's face and he places a kiss on his forehead
- it's ok... you are here now - kevin places one hand on the back of scotty's head gently and pushes him closer for a kiss
- and now, if you excuse me, I am going to have a very needed and deserved nap - scotty grabs one of their pregnancy pillows and accomodates in the bed
- mind if Ijoin you? - kevin asks, already putting his arm around Scotty
- not at all... but shouldn't you eat something first?
Kevin sighs and closes his eyes for a moment - Daniel kicked all night, he only stopped at dawn, I need my sleep
- you mean your beauty sleep? you already had it.... I swear you look beautiful
- you will make me blush
- you do - scotty's fingers caress kevin's eyebrowns and then move to his eyelids making him close his eyes and hold his breath
- it tickles....
- i know.....
- i like it...
- I know.....
- you are done for today? downstairs i mean?
- yes...
- does it mean we can stay like this all day?
- no....
- what? why? - kevin almost whines, everytime they are together in bed, he doesn't want anything to disrupt them.
- because we have...... baby shower!!!! - scotty almost squeals and kevin doesn't know wether to join him in his excitement or be weirded out
- but... you didn't want one
- i do now.... i called your mother this morning, we will have her at her home today, at 5
- why the rush? the babies shouldn't come in at least a few more weeks
- the less time we give her, the less "nora walker style" it wil be
- oh god, now i am afraid....
- don't worry, it is not like she can plan... oh my god, she planned our wedding in what, 3 days?
- yeah...... but now she iwll only have a few hours....
- not really..... she asked me 3 weeks ago about it, i told her i didn't want one until we knew Olivia was safe.... she grabbed a notepad
- she has been planning this for weeks?
- yeah....
- good.... then we won't have to worry about strollers or cribs, or humidifiers...... - Scotty gives him a questioning look and kevin elaborates - she got kitty all that, she will have to do better now given we are having two......
- wouldn't that be taking advantage of your mother?
- daniel and olivia are her very last grandchildren, let her spoil them
- you mean spoil you....
- that too..... now, can we cuddle?
