"You look adorable" Orla chuckled watching as Paul was winding a part of the crib they'd ordered a few weeks ago into another with an Allen Key. Paul looked up to face her.

Since they'd returned back home, after Paul's grandmothers funeral that was, they'd gotten focused on getting a nursery ready even though the baby would probably sleep in with them for the first six months. "D'you know where the Alexa is? I looked for it in the kitchen but couldn't find it." Paul asked her, looking to put some music on while he worked

"Yeah, my brother put it away when he was here, don't know why, I'll go get it for you, you carry on working." Orla told him, a few moments later she returned with the Alexa in hand, Orla grinned widely seeing Ivy sat next to Paul, drawing what seemed to be him. She sneakily took a photo of the sight before putting her phone in her pocket "Found it!" Orla announced herself holding up the Alexa.

"Thanks, can you plug it in or will you not be able to reach?" Paul asked, were Orla to say no he would plug it in.

"I'm pregnant, not disabled." Orla reminded him.

"I'm just saying, after last time we need to be more careful." Paul replied, Ivy's birth was incredibly traumatic, he didn't want that to happen again.

"That was a series of uncontrollable coincidences and Ivy being stubborn." Orla reminded him as she plugged the Alexa in and watched as it flashed, showing it was searching for an internet connection."You're cute when you're worried." Orla teased.

Paul grinned before dramatically gasping "D'you mean to say im not always?" He joked

Orla chuckled and sat herself down in a chair across from Paul and Ivy.

"Are you going to the football later or in the morning?" Orla asked him, Paul shrugged.

"Later, my dad booked the flight for me." He answered, Orla nodded, unsure of how to reply "Have you got anything planned?" Paul asked.

"We're going for lunch with Tilly and then the day after we're going to the cinema with her friend to watch Barbie.. again." Orla replied.

"This kid'll come out knowing all the words to I'm just Ken if you carry on your weekly watch." Paul joked.  Orla chuckled and looked to Ivy who was smoothing hair out of her face.
