"Ugh! Babe, Do you know where my stethoscope is?" Ryan asked rushing down  the stairs.

"Right there." I said pointing to his red stethoscope.

"How you feeling? You tossed a lot last night." He said rubbing my back.

"He kept kicking and just kept me up all night."

"I thought so. How's he doing today?" He asked.

"Occasional kick and cramp but I'm fine. Worry about today." I replied.

"You just never mind." He said feeling my stomach.

"Did you get your paperwork ready?" I asked.

"Yes. Here he is, feel." He said lightly pushing on my stomach.

"That's his hand isn't it?"

"Yeah. His butt is here." He said smiling. "He's getting farther down and your feeling fine?"

"Yes. Now get to work. I will see you later. We will be over there later to go over things with Casey." I replied.

"I'll see you later tonight! Don't forget we're going out for supper." He said.

"I know. I will be ready by 5."

"Good. Bye. Love you." He said.

"Love you too. Good Luck!" I replied as he went out the door.

I had a few other more errands to get done before I went into the office. I had a load of laundry to take out of the laundry room, get the guest bedroom cleaned up for my parent's and finish up the dishes in the kitchen.

"Morning, Your mom called and said that they are running a few hours late." Liv said through the other end of the phone.

"Morning, Yeah I figured they would be with the weather they have been having."

"Did you happen to pick up the prints?" Liv asked.

"No. I will stop there now before I come up. Did you send that email out?"

"Yes I did. You have a message from the hospital too." Liv said.

"Okay. Yeah, it is probably for my next appointment. I am at the print shop now so I will see you in a few."

The print shop was a few blocks from the office. We had a big spread of the business here. They would do any work we needed them to do for us.

"Hi, How can I help you?" The small blonde mid-20s girl asked.

"I have a spread for Tulip. I should be a cover with Casey Renyolds." I replied.

"Oh yes. Michael just finished it up." She replied disappearing into the back.

"Here it is, beautiful!" Michael said.

"Holy! Michael, you have over done yourself! It is amazing! I love it!" I replied shocked as I looked over this months issue of Tulip with Jordan Freemont smiling on the front.

"I thought you would like it." He replied.

"You are such a doll."

"I know. I know. Get to work and have that baby." He replied.

"Oh I will. A few more weeks and he will be here." I replied walking out.

"By doll." He replied.
