The next morning :

Brad : Jen.

Brad lets his fingers trace her skin from her collarbones to her belly button, while trying to wake her up.

Brad : Babe.

Jen : Hm?

Brad : You've gotta wake up.

He buries his head in her neck, kissing her shoulder before she ultimately opens her eyes.

Jen : What time is it?

Brad : Quarter past 8.

Jen : Oh.

Jen sits up, covering her bare chest with the covers before glancing over at him.

Jen : Good morning.

Brad : Mhm.

He moves himself closer to her, wrapping his arms around her waist while letting his head rest on her stomach.

Jen : I'm not used to waking up here... in your house.

Brad : I know.

Jen scans the room, smiling as she sees the rose petals still laying on the floor.

Brad : You smell like a garden.

Jen : Well, I should thank you for that.

He laughs as she intertwines her fingers with his.

Jen : In all seriousness though, thank you... for last night.

Brad : No, thank YOU for last night.

Brad looks up at her, smirking.

Jen : I'm talking about this, idiot.

Brad : Oh.

Pointing to the surprise she ruined last night, she laughs.

Jen : It was really sweet of you.

Brad : Well, I figured I might as well take advantage of the time we've got now and do something special for you.

Jen : What do you mean?

Brad : You know... before the baby gets here.

Jen : Oh.

Brad : When all our days will revolve around changing diapers, taking naps whenever we can and I don't know... cleaning up puke.

Jen : You're right.

Brad : Kids usually leave less time for things like this... romantic things.

Jen nods, sighing.

Brad : Mommy and daddy time.

Jen : Please don't ever call it that again.

Brad : What?

Jen rolls her eyes as he furrows his brow.

Brad : You better get used to those two terms.

Jen : What? Mommy and daddy?

Brad : Yeah.

Realizing he's right and that in only a few months she'll actually be a mom, Jen scuffs.

Brad : As soon as the baby gets here, our names will be replaced... no more Jen.

Jen : Mhm.

Brad : From then on it's either mom or mommy.

Jen : If you think I'll be walking around calling you daddy, you're wrong.
