Ashley's POV~

I grabbed a white tshirt and gray sweatpants, not really caring who's they are. I threw those on before trudging to the bathroom.

I sighed as I looked at myself in the full length body mirror. I had grown so much, and I was so in much pain. My back, my ankles, my hips and pelvis. But I kept reminding myself that I only had 5 more weeks.

"Joey!" I called.

I heard him race up the stairs and down the hall. "What's up, baby?" He asked, standing behind me.

"Look at this." I groaned, pointing to my large tummy.

"What? I see nothing wrong." He stated.

"Ugh." I groaned again, "I've dropped."

"Okay? You're still beautiful." He mumbled.

"And I hurt." I complained.

"I'm sorry, babe. We could go downstairs and cuddle and watch movies." He whispered.

"Fine." I sighed.

"Plus, you look really hot in my clothes. Have I ever told you that?" He smiled.

"I'm not hot. I'm huge and I look horrible." I groaned.

"I don't see that. I see you, giving your body to grow another life. That is beautiful in itself. I see your personality. When I look at you, I see the woman I fell in love with years ago. I see that woman fighting hard and working hard for herself. That is beautiful." He explained.

"I love you," I whispered.

"I love you too, baby." He smiled, kissing my cheek.

~*~*~

Joey laid his head on my shoulder, fast asleep. Donnie sat in front of me.

"So, what are you needing?" He asked.

"Could you help me Christmas eve, after Joey's asleep? I need to pick something up and I need help." I questioned.

"Sure." He nodded, "What is it?"

I grabbed my phone and pulled out a picture. I smiled as I turned my phone, showing Donnie the picture. "He's talked about wanting to teach Arlo, but we don't have one."

Donnie grinned, "Yeah. I'll help. He'll love it."

"I thought so. I've been talking to the owner, I'm paying him that night and he said he'll hold it until I come get it." I explain.

"That's great." He nodded.

I groaned and shifted my weight on the couch. "Yeah. It really is. Do you think Kenny could help? All the other guys are going out of town for Christmas."

"Yeah. I'll talk to him." He replied.

I smiled, "Thank you."

"So, how's the little guy doing?" He questioned.

"Fine. He's dropped and the pain is catching up." I shrugged, "He still wiggles as much as possible."

Donnie grew a smirk, "Just like Joseph."

"Yeah. I have a feeling that Arlo's going to be just like Joey." I smiled.

"Am I going to get more nieces or nephews?" He asked.

"I'm not sure. Probably in a couple years." I shrugged.

I looked over at Joey as he mumbled something. Donnie bursted out laughing, "H-How do you this?"

"I have no idea. I guess I love him too much." I smiled.

"Shut up. You're being to loud." Joey mumbled.

"Oh, little bro." Donnie snickered.

"I'm sorry, babe." I whispered, kissing his cheek. Joey groaned and resituated himself before burying his face into my neck.

"It's only 3 in the afternoon, why is he so tired?" Donnie asked.

I sighed, "Probably because of me. I've been pretty restless and I guess I've been keeping him up."

"Come on. We're gonna hang out, and let him sleep." He suggests.

"Okay. Just let me get a hoodie and put on shoes." I nodded.

"Yes ma'am!" He grinned.

"Donnie, don't call me that. Makes me sound old." I mumbled, standing up. Joey huffed and laid down against the couch.

"Oh. Really? Considering I'm 32." He states, crossing his arms.

"That's not old." I point out.

"Whatever! Go get ready!" He shooed.

I nodded and made my way upstairs. I went into our room and searched the closet. I grinned as I grabbed Joey's Ohio hoodie, knowing that it was large enough for me to wear. I grabbed my Ugg boots and slipped those on before returning downstairs.

Donnie stood up, his keys in hand. I swatted down and kissed Joey's cheek. "Babe, I'll be back later. I love you,"

I started to stand up, but Joey grabbed my hand. "Wait." He mumbled, "I want an actual kiss."

I kneeled back down, quickly kissing him. "I love you, I'll be back later. Get some rest." I whispered.

"I love you too," he muttered, kissing me again. He rolled over as I stood up. I grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch and laid it over him.

I turned around, watching Donnie stand there impatiently. I laughed, "You ready?"

"Yes! Let's go." He mumbled. I giggled slightly, following him to his car.

~*~*~

Donnie and I sat in the car. Driving around Nashville. It grew darker and the streetlights turned on.

The pubs lit up, and clubs began to open. You could slightly hear the country music playing from inside the buildings.

I smiled as I looked down and ran my hand over my large belly. "You're gonna love this city, baby. Music City is amazing." I whispered.

"She's going insane." Donnie snickered.

I turned to him with an eyebrow raised, "You know, you're more than welcome to talk to your nephew."

"I've never done it before," he mumbled sheepishly.

I smiled reassuringly, "It's okay. Joey never did it until he found out."

I took Donnie's free hand and laid over my stomach. I watched as he grew a smile as the baby wiggled the best he could. "Wow," he muttered.

"Amazing, huh?" I grinned.

He nodded, "Yeah. Can you feel it?"

"Yeah. It keeps me up all night." I laugh.

"Hey, little guy. I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm finally an uncle, and I can't believe it. It's only a matter of weeks until you're here and I can't wait to meet you. Neither can your uncle Kenny. He's pretty excited too, especially grandma and grandpa. We're all so excited." Donnie started, but kept his attention on the road.

I could only smile. I was certainly more than excited to be growing a life, and the number of lives it affected.

I grinned ad I glanced out the window. Snow had began falling. It was only two and half week until Christmas, and this was the first snowfall in Nashville,

"Donnie!" I squealed, "It's snowing!"

"Wow!" He remarked sarcastically, "It's December, Ashley."

"Shut up," I groaned, smacking his shoulder, "I love the snow!"

He laughed, "Come on. Let's get you home. We've been driving around for two hours."

"Okay." I nodded.

~*~*~

Donnie dropped me off at the house. He made sure I was in before driving away.

Joey was still asleep on the couch, so I just watched the snow fall from the window. It was one thing that could entertain me for hours on end.

I had to have been watching for about 30 minutes when Joey woke up. He placed his hands on my hips and buried his face into my shoulder. "You still look sexy in my clothes, babe." He muttered.

I grinned, "They look even better on you."

"Nah. You look extremely hot in my hoodie too." He stated, "I should let you wear it more often."

"I only wore it because it smells like you, and it's the only thing that fits me at this point." I mumbled.

"Still looks good," he whispered.
