You strolled through the baby aisles with your girlfriend as she rubbed her growing belly, now entering the third trimester of the pregnancy where she grew irritable over anything. Anything. From the weird cravings, the hip pain due to the baby sitting preferably against her rib and the baby’s constant kicking—she couldn’t wait for it to be over.

Baby shopping with Lottie consisted of her frequent squeaks at the tiny baby clothes, the stuffed animals—even the various bath toys she dropped into the cart with that crinkled eyed smile you loved so much. You shook your head in adoration at your girlfriend as she pranced happily through the aisles.

“The baby isn’t even here yet and theyre already getting spoiled.” You joked with a light chuckle leaving your lips, but had to admit—her excitement for the baby’s arrival was absolutely adorable. You stared at the girl as she made her way to each side of the aisle, her long flowing black gown trailing behind her, her dark chestnut hair flowing down her back as she walked.

“Can we just look around just a little while longer, pleaseee...” She said and gave you those puppy dog doe eyes that made you cave in everytime. She lightly swayed back and forth hoping that you’d atleast let her look around and shop just a bit more.

“Okay, Okay fine. You got me, lets go look at some of the nursery items yes?”

Her eyes had brightened with happiness and she nodded quickly while you both headed over to the nursery aisle where she squeaked again—soft ‘awww’ and ‘ooohs’ of excitement left her lips. She placed various blankets and crib trinkets into the cart, her crinkled eyes smile never leaving and it made your heart fill full.

“Okay now I think I’m finished.” She said and padded over to you, looping her arm with yours as you both set off to checkout with the cart full of baby items.
