Ashley's POV~

Joey, Kane and I spent the day painting the nursery. Which was once a guest room, was now our baby's room.

"Babe," Joey spoke.

"What?" I asked, turning around.

Joey smirked before placing his hand on my stomach. Once he removed it, there was a gray handprint on my shirt. "That." He grinned.

"Joey." I whined.

"I love you!" He smiled sweetly.

I sighed, "I love you too."

"I can't believe you let him talk you into Ohio State." Kane laughed.

"Eh. I don't mind." I shrugged, "That just means if we have a girl, her nursery is Disney."

"I'm okay with that." Joey nodded.

"I hope we have a girl at one point." I mumbled, "Because if I have three boys like your mom, I will go crazy."

"Awh. But you love me." He grins.

"I do love you, but you and Don together drive me crazy." I laughed.

"But we have fun." He stated. I just rolled my eyes.

I smirked as an idea came to mind. I dipped my finger in the gray paint. "Hey, Joey. Come here real quick." I called. He turned around and faced me.

"Yeah?" He replied.

I brought my hand up to his cheek. I smiled, "Have I ever told you how much I love you?"

"Yeah. All the time." He nodded. I smirked as I traced his jaw with my finger, leaving a trail of gray paint.

"Well, I love you." I grinned, quickly kissing him.

"I love you too." He smiled. Joey turned around and continued working on the wall. I snickered as I went back to working. Kane started laughing so hard. "Bro, you okay?" Joey asked.

"You have paint on your face." Kane snickered.

"Ashley Faith." Joey scolded.

"Yeah, baby?" I asked. I turned to face him.

"You're so going to regret this." He smirked.

~*~*~

Joey and I stood in the finally finished nursery. Joey smiled, "We did good."

"We did, baby." I agreed.

Joey kneeled down, "Hey, little guy. This is your room. Even though you can't see it right now, you will soon. I have a feeling you'll love it. Mommy and I, along with uncle Spencer worked hard. We're all so excited to meet you, baby. All your uncles and aunts, mommy and I are really excited. So are your grandma and grandpa. Only three more months."

Arlo squirmed at the sound of Joey's voice once again. A feeling that will never get old and that I'll never hate.

"I swear, he loves listening to you." I smiled.

"That's just because his dad is awesome." He joked.

"Keep telling yourself that." I teased. I patted his chest as he stood.

He leaned in, kissing me as he did. "I love you. No matter how much you tease me, I love you."

"I love you too. You know, considering you put up with me. My annoyingness, my loudness." I grinned, "My sarcasm."

"I love your sarcasm, baby. You're perfect just the way you are, and I wouldn't have you any other way." He spoke.

"You know, Joseph Patrick, you sure tug at the heartstrings. Mr. Stamper, you are truly exceptional." I smiled.

"As are you, Mrs. Stamper. Ashley Faith, words cannot describe how much I love you." He grinned, repeating me.

"We're so weird, Joey." I laughed.

"That we are, my dear." He beamed.

"My dear?" I asked, "That's a new one."

He shrugged, "Coming up with nee names to call you, besides babe. Even though, you are a total babe."

"Do you know which one I like the best?" I asked.

"And what would that be?" He questioned.

"Your wife." I grinned, kissing his cheek.

"I like that one too." He nodded.

"Yo. The lovey-dovey married couple I'm living with, the other three invited us to chickfila." Kane spoke.

I looked over at Joey, waiting his opinion. He nodded, "Yeah. Let's go."

"Uh, Joe. Might want to wash off the paint." Kane laughed.

I looked down at my white shirt, which had two large gray handprints on the sides of my pregnant belly. "Baby, you gonna change?" Joey asked.

"Nah. This is my new favorite shirt." I smiled.

~*~*~

"Nice shirt, Ash." Caleb smirked as we met them.

"You can blame Joey for that." I laughed.

"Hey," Joey whined.

"What were you two doing?" Alan asked.

"Painting the nursery."  I answered.

"What theme?" Chad asks.

"We agreed on Ohio State." I stated.

"Now only if I could get Kelsey to agree on Dallas Cowboys, or Mario." Caleb sighed.

"What about legos? Knowing you love them." I suggested.

"Never thought about that. Thanks Ash." He grinned.

"Yeah. Where is she anyway?" I asked.

"She didn't feel good, she wanted to stay home." He answered.

"Lucky her." I laughed slightly.

"We aren't forcing you here," Alan stated.

"No, just when I felt nauseous, I was laying in a hotel bed or on the road." I explain.

"I want a baby, but Chadwick hasn't agreed yet." Fallon mumbled. Chad groaned and buried his face into his hands.

"It'll happen eventually," I reassured.

"How have you been? I haven't seen you in forever." Brycie asked.

"We'll let you girls talk. We're getting food." Alan stated, getting up.

We nodded and Alan dragged the other four boys. I sat down next to Brycie, I smiled, "I'm actually really good."

"How he doing?" She asked, pointing at my stomach.

"He's good. Squirmy, for sure." I laugh.

"My girls were too." She nodded.

"And he loves listening to Joey." I grinned, "He made it a habit talking to him every night."

"That's adorable." Fallon squeals.

"He's going to be a great father. Remember when Rowe was born?" Brycie asked.

"Yeah. He was gentle with her." I nodded.

"You'll both be great parents," Fallon smiled.

"Thanks Fal." I grinned.

The five guys sat down around us and passed out everyone's food. Once it was all passed around, we began to pray.

~*~*~

Joey and I laid in bed. His hand laid on my uncovered stomach. He leaned down and laid his head down.

"Hey, little guy. I'm so excited to meet you in just a few months. So is mommy. You're our little surprise, but you're a great surprise. I'm so glad that God gave us you. I just want you to know that mommy and I love you so very much. More than anything in the world. I can't wait to hold you, I know, I say it a lot, but it's true. I love you, baby boy." Joey smiled.
