Here's the next chapter, Nords!!!

--

Norman had gone overboard for Christmas. Not only for me but for the baby as well. I wasn't even due for a few more months and he was buying everything in sight. Funny thing was I couldn't even be mad at him for it. He was being so adorable.

He was buying so many toys and clothes for her. I could tell he was genuinely excited to have another baby. Hell, even Mingus was going overboard with baby stuff. He came home the other day with one of those industrial-sized packs of diapers.

It was 'just in case' I had the baby early. I found both of getting in the baby mood extremely adorable. Even Norman had stopped smoking inside the apartment and around me. I told him he didn't have to because it wouldn't bother be but his insisted on it.

Sometimes I thought about how Mingus was going to act when the baby was here. I mean, yes, he seemed genuinely excited about having a sibling, but he had spent his whole life as an only child and while I loved him dearly and he me, having a half-sister was a lot different than his dad having a girlfriend.

'Finally, I mean, come one Dad, I wanna be the good looking older brother while I'm still young.' I giggled thinking about his response. "Whatcha thinking about?" Norman's cheery voice snapped me back into reality. Still smiling, I looked into his eyes and said, "Our family."

Norman smiled and behind me, lightly massaging my shoulders. I sighed and tilted my head back against his shoulder, closing my eyes. "We're going to have the perfect family," he whispered, while kissing the top of my head lovingly. I sighed again.

"We already do," I said opening my eyes to look at him. He smiled and lightly kissed my lips. "Come on, babe. I have a surprise for you and Mingus," he said while grabbing my hand and pulling me through the apartment. "A surprise, huh?" I asked rhetorically.

We found Mingus in his room picking out clothes for tonight. We were going to Jordan's bar to celebrate New Year's like we did last year, but this year I wasn't able to drink or smoke. It didn't bother me because I was happy about the baby. It would just be different.

"What's up?" he asked. I shrugged because I didn't even know what was going on. Norman directed me to sit on the bed along with Mingus who came and sat beside me. I threw my arm around his shoulders and squeezed him gently before turning my attention to Norman.

"So I was thinking," Mingus chuckled and we looked over at him. I pushed him lightly and gave him a pointed joking look telling him to behave. I looked back at Norman with a smile. "Yes?" I said encouraging him to go on. I was curious at this point.

"Well, there's three, soon to be four of us," he said. I cocked an eyebrow while resting my hand on my growing stomach. "And?" Mingus asked. Norman chuckled. "Well there are only two bedrooms," he said. I bit my lip getting where he was going with this.

"You want to find a new place?" I asked him. He smiled at me. "Actually I already have. It's four bedrooms and two baths. Top floor," he said. I jumped up and wrapped my arms around him. Norman chuckled again before wrapping his arms around me and squeezing me a little.

"So tonight we party and tomorrow we start packing?" I asked him already hearing the excitement in my voice. I was going to be able to decorate for the baby. She would have her own room and Norman and I would still be able to keep our privacy.

Mingus's arms wrapped around both of us and I smiled up at Norman. "I am so excited!" I squealed. Norman kissed the top of my head before releasing me. "Alright I'm gonna go start on dinner before we head down to Jordan's," Norman said.

He went to walk off but I pressed my hand lightly on Norman's chest stopping him. "You spend some time with Mingus. I'll go make dinner," I said. Norman smiled at me before bending down and kissing me lightly. I looked over at Mingus who was already plugging in a video game system.

~~

"Boys! Let's eat!" I yelled down the hallway. I walked back into the kitchen and began setting the table before placing the dish of lasagna in the middle of the table. I heard a scuffle and looked up to see Norman and Mingus playfully pushing each other as they walked into the living room.

I rolled my eyes and sat down at the table as they joined me. "Damn, this smells good," Norman said as he put some on his plate. I chuckled as I looked down at my salad. I was trying to eat healthy during this pregnancy. I didn't want to gain that much weight.

Norman sighed happily as he chewed his first bite. Mingus I'm pretty sure had inhaled his plate and was already filling up his plate for seconds. Norman and I smiled at each other as we continued to eat. When we were done eating it was time to go to Jordan's.

~~

When we got to the bar there were already a couple families' there with their children. Mingus ran off to hand out with some of them as Norman and I walked around to say hello to all the couples that were around. We found Jordan behind the bar.

When we approached he slid Norman jack and coke and slid me a fruity looking drink. I looked at it confused before sliding it back. "I can't drink," I said while looking down at my stomach. Norman's arm slipped around my waist. Jordan slid the drink back to me.

"It doesn't have any alcohol in it. Be my first tester. I call it Zero," I looked at it before picking it up and taking a small hesitant sip. Jordan looked at me with a slight concerned look. I knew he was worried that it wouldn't taste good. He had been trying to make a lot of new drinks.

I looked at him. "It's actually not that bad," I felt a soft thud on my stomach and I chuckled placing my hand over it while rubbing softly. Norman's hand slipped under mine. "Well, baby approves so I think you're good," I said making Jordan chuckle nervously.

Norman took a small sip of his jack and coke before sitting it back on the bar. Norman and I chose a smaller table to sit at towards the back of the bar and Jordan joined us a little later after letting his new bar tender take over. I sighed and leaned into Norman a little.

His arm wrapped around my waist as we watched everyone around us drink and have a good time. We had the New Year's countdown on the TV. It was funny seeing as we it was happening just a few blocks away but we didn't want to have to deal with the crowd.

Someone had ended up turning music on at some point and I got up dragging Mingus to the dance floor with me. We danced and danced and danced until we were both so tired that we couldn't stand much longer or in my case the baby was making me tired.

I wasn't sure how much longer I could last. Norman was sitting back in his chair when I approached the table again. He opened an arm for me as he continued to talk to the guys around him. I sat down on his leg and he pulled me back into him a little.

I looked behind me at Norman who was already looked at me. I rested my hand lightly on his shoulder. "Happy New Year, babe," he whispered. I could barely hear him over everyone screaming around us. I leaned in and pressing my lips to his. His hand snaked under my shirt and rest on my stomach rubbing it gently. I smiled.
