I rubbed my stomach to try and get the baby to calm down, so I could try and sleep. After five minutes of rubbing I stopped knowing it wouldn't help at this point. I rolled over to see Brian sleeping soundly. He was adorable while he was sleeping.

I pulled myself closer to him and shut my eyes hoping I could go back to sleep. My eyes shot open when I heard a bang from downstairs. I tried to shake Brian awake, but he only made a little noise and rolled over.

I sighed as I struggled out of bed and over to the door. I grabbed the baseball bat that Brian kept by the door and started down the steps.

I jumped when I felt a pair of hands on my back. I turned to see Brian looking down at me, confused.
"What are you doing?" His Irish accent was thick.
"I heard a noise."
"So instead of waking me up you grab a bat and start downstairs to go investigate God knows what and you're 38 weeks pregnant I might add!" He exclaimed.
"I am an independent woman. I can do whatever you can do."
"Sure you can." He took the bat and started down the steps in front of me. I followed close behind.

Brian flipped on the light once he made it to the bottom of the steps. I squealed when I saw the raccoon run across the kitchen floor.

Brain chased it around the room before opening the back door to let it run out. He shut the door and then looked over at me.

"You were gonna chase that out?" He was panting.
"I might have." I crossed my arms.
"Whatever you say. Let's just get back to sleep." He started to walk towards the stairs. I shook my head.
"I'm up and I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry." He put his hands on his hips.
"Yeah, but I want ice cream with m&m's." I smiled.

Brian threw his hands up in the air and walked over into the kitchen. I giggled as I followed him into the kitchen. I sat down at the table and laid my head down.

My eyes slowly opened to see Brian looking at me.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Your ice cream is ready."
"I don't want any." I turned my head to the other side and shut my eyes.
"Do you wanna go back to bed?" He asked.
"No, I'm actually comfortable. Stop bothering me."
"Fine, but I'm eating your ice cream."

I lifted my head up off the table, took Brian's spoon out of his hand, and begun to eat the ice cream.
"I knew you couldn't resist it." He laughed at me. I gave him a big, fake smile before taking another bite.

"I wanted to talk about names." He stated as he watched me eat.
"You wanted to talk about names at three in the morning?" I asked.
"Well I wasn't planning to talk about this early in the morning, but I think we should talk about it."
"Fine, I'll tell you what I have in mind since your the dad, but you can't say anything I want it to be a surprise to my mom."

His expression changed quickly.

"I won't say anything." He smiled at me.
"I like the name Ava Finley if it's a girl or Brian Jr." I took another bite.
"Really? Brian Jr.?" He voice was laced with excitement.
"Yeah and now I'm done eating so can you please help me up the stairs and into bed?"
"Of course, my love." He said before taking my hand and helping me up.
