"Are you guys ready?" I asked. Norman, Mingus, and I were sitting on the couch with me in the middle of both of them. My laptop was sitting on the coffee table in front of us. We were about to Skype with two very important people that were going to be in Brynlee's life.

Both Mingus and Norman nodded and I clicked on the Skype icon. A familiar face popped up first. "Okay, promise me that you won't freak, but I have someone joining us," the person nodded on the other end and I clicked on another icon revealing someone else.

I leaned back into Norman and we waited to see if anyone was going to react. Norman squeezed me a little and we waited on one of them to speak. "Reedenstein," I smiled hearing Flanery's nickname for Norman. Finally my best friend started moving.

"Stacey, are you alive over there?" I asked her. All of us chuckled when she shook her head. "Stacey, I think you know who Flanery is," Norman said. Stacey was already used to Norman being around but when it came to Flanery it was all new to her.

"Alright, so you're probably wondering why we decided to Skype with you both at the same time, right?" I asked them. Flanery and Stacey both nodded. I looked at Norman and he had a smile on his face. I looked over at Mingus who was smiling too.

I wrapped my arm around Mingus and pulled him into me. "Well, Norman and I were doing some talking," I said. "Hey!" Mingus piped in. I chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Okay, and Mingus," I said. Norman kissed my temple and I watched Stacey smile.

"Well anyway we decided that we want you, Stacey, to be the Godmother of Brynlee," I said. Norman jumped in. "And Flanery we want you to be the Godfather," Norman said. We watched as both their eyes became wide. I'm pretty sure they were speechless.

"Seriously?" Flanery spoke first. Both Norman and I chuckled before nodding. "Of course!" I said and Flanery smiled. "I would be honored," he said. I felt a smile coming across my face. Stacey was still not speaking and I was wondering if she was still breathing.

"Stacey?" I asked slowly. She blinked a few times and I sighed resting my hands on my still growing stomach. Norman's hand slipped under mine and we laced our fingers together. "Yeah, I'm here," she said softly. I put a smile on. "So?" I asked her.

Norman squeezed my hand a little reassuringly. Stacey suddenly broke out into a huge grin. "Of course I will!" she exclaimed while clapping her hands excitedly. We all chuckled at Stacey before signing off and deciding to pop in a movie to relax.

~~

I had fallen asleep halfway through the movie. It seemed the further along I got in my pregnancy the more I became tired more easily. I guess Norman had ended up carrying me to the bedroom at one point because I had woke up in our nice fluffy bed.

I sighed and sat up a little. I ran a hand through my hair and looked around the room. I had fallen asleep in my contacts and now they were hurting my eyes. I got up and walked....er waddled to the new conjoining bathroom and took my contacts out before sliding my glasses on.

I found Norman and Mingus in the kitchen making dinner. Their backs were to me but when they turned around I sighed and shook my head when I noticed the flour on Mingus's face and the flour on Norman's shirt. I placed my hands on my hips and glared at the two of them playfully.

"Why is it when I leave or go to sleep you two end up getting into some mischief?" I asked them. Mingus glared back but Norman raised his hands in a mock surrender. "I swear Mingus started it," he said innocently. I looked at Mingus and cocked an eyebrow.

He gave me the smallest head shake and slowly pointed at Norman. I rolled my eyes before grabbing another wet rag and handing it to Mingus. Mingus held up his hand. "I'm just gonna go shower," he said. I chuckled and nodded before letting him pass.

I watched as he walked away with every step he took he made floured foot prints on the floor. Flour was falling out of the bottom of his pants. I turned around and pointed at Norman. "Seriously?!" I said while throwing the rag at him. It hit him square in the chest.

Norman looked up at me with wide eyes. I didn't think that he was expecting me to throw something at him. This was ridiculous though. We had just moved in here and they were already making a ton of unnecessary messes. Norman sighed and turned around to continue working on dinner.

I huffed and grabbed the mop so I could clean up Mingus's footprints. It was quiet through the apartment except for the shower running and the sizzling of whatever Norman was cooking. I didn't mean to snap at him. It made me feel horrible. I sighed and put the mop away.

I quietly walked back to our bedroom and sat down on the edge of the bed. I laid down with my head on the pillow but didn't bother to put my feet up on the bed. I felt the first tear slip down my cheek and I quickly wiped away but it was no use the tears started steadily flowing.

I heard the bathroom door open and then Mingus's door open and shut. He was out of the shower and most likely getting dressed. It was a good 10 minutes of tears before I heard the bedroom door open with a small creak. My back was turned to it but I knew it was Norman.

I heard the door shut and his feet softly padding on the floor. "Babe," he whispered softly. I felt his hand touch my foot lightly and he ran it up my leg as he walked around the bed. I shifted a little to look up at him. He instantly dropped to his knees when he saw my face. "Hey," he whispered while brushing a loose strand of hair out of my face.

His hand rested on my cheek and his thumb ran across it lightly. I wiped away the few stray tears that were still falling. Norman quickly wiped one away and gave me a sad smile. "What's wrong?" he asked. His thumb ran over my bottom lip and I kissed it lightly before placing my hand over his.

I reached my other hand out and pushed some of the hair out of his eyes. "I'm sorry," I whispered while rubbing my thumb lightly under his eye. He smirked a little and leaned into my hand a little. "It's okay," he said while kissing my palm before kissing my wrist.

"No, it's not. I shouldn't have snapped at you for something so dumb and I shouldn't have thrown the rag at you," I said. Norman gave me a small smile. "Didn't bruise anything," he said softly. I let out a small laugh. I knew he was trying to make me feel better.

"Brynlee's just making you emotional," he said while moving his hand down to my growing stomach. His hand slipped under my shirt and started rubbing my stomach lightly. I sighed and relaxed into his touch. I closed my eyes and let his fingers run back and forth.

"I love you," Norman whispered. I opened my eyes to see that his head was now resting on the side of the bed centimeters from mine. "I love you too," I whispered back. Norman closed the small distance between us and connected his lips with mine.

When he pulled back he rested his forehead against mine. "Dinner's ready," he said. I gave him a slight nod before pulling him in for another kiss. He sighed continued to run his fingers lightly across my stomach as his other hand came up and rested on the base of my neck.

When we pulled back for the second time I felt like my head was spinning. "Let's go eat," he said. I nodded again and he slowly stood up. He offered his hands to me and helped me off the bed. "Hey," Norman said stopping me. I looked up at him and cocked an eyebrow at him. "I love you."

~~

After dinner Mingus called it an early night and went to bed by 9:30. We knew the process of moving, though it wasn't far, and going to school was wearing him out. Norman and I were curled up in bed together. I was snuggled into his side and his arm was around me.

His laptop was sitting on his legs and he was again looking online for more baby items for Brynlee. My hand was running lazily up and down his chest as his ran gently up and down my side. He was steadily clicking away and adding things to the online shopping cart.

I chuckled softly causing Norman to look down at me. "What?" he asked with a small smile on his face. I nodded towards the screen. "Are we even going to have enough room for all of that?" I asked him. Norman chuckled and rubbed the side of my stomach.

"Anything for my little girl, we'll make room even if Mingus has to sleep on the floor," I smacked him lightly on the chest. "That's mean. You are not even funny," I said. Norman smiled and kissed my forehead letting his lips linger there as he continued to shop online.

"I think I may have to take your debit card away," I said. Norman chuckled again. "It won't do you any good. I have the numbers memorized," he said. I rolled my eyes but kissed his chest. I made my way up his chest and to his shoulder leaving small kisses.

"What are you doing?" Norman asked. I could hear the slight shakiness in his voice knowing I was having an effect on him. I chuckled against his skin before kissing his lips lightly. I snuggled back into his side and let my head lay on his chest.

"Nothing," I said innocently. Norman shut the laptop and laid in on the nightstand before looking down at me. "You know that isn't fair, right?" he asked me rhetorically. I chuckled and looked up at him. "I have no clue what you're talking about," I said.

Norman growled softly before sinking low into the bed beside me. I sat up a little so I was above him and kissed him again. Norman placed both of his hands on the side of my stomach as he kissed me back. My hands made their way down to his pants and he pulled back abruptly.

He gave me a small sad smile. "I'm sorry. I can't," he said softly. I sighed and gave him a small nod. "I understand," I whispered back to him. Norman gave me another loving kiss before he pulled the blankets around us and we settled in to sleep.

So Mandy is angry, then cries, and then tries to get a piece of Norman, who refuses! Is it because of the hormones like Norman said? Oh no Norman's still shopping!!
