The next seven months flew by. Annah was now all suited up with her baby bump and she couldn't count the amount of times she had been told she looked as if she were glowing. Of course, she hadn't seen it at first but with every glance in the mirror she could see it starting to come through. She was about to be a proud mommy.
God Damn.
Brandon was back at their old place, packing up the last of their junk and she was sitting outside of the old bar with her friends, carrying on. They were all going to miss her so much. Of course, she was only about forty minutes west of here, but she was going to miss them too.
"Girls, I gots to be going. Brandon's going to be waiting on me to head off to our new place." Yep, the new place she had picked out after months of searching.
"I can't believe you didn't want to know if its a girl or boy."
That was Regina, holding her own son, who was about six months old now. "I've explained this to you." She laughed lightly, hugging all of her friends. "I'll bring the baby back so you guys can see as soon as I can, kays?"
"I expect a phone call from that fiance of yours when it pops out." Natalie piped up, hugging her tighter.
"He's not my fiance." The girls exchanged knowing looks. "He's not!" "He just got how much money? You can't tell me he didn't spend some of that on a ring."
Annah rolled her eyes. "He's not the marriage type girls." She said as she turned to walk away, carrying a small shopping bag with her. She wasn't too far from their ex-home, so she was back there in no time. Brandon was standing outside, looking just like Brandon always had.
Her face lit up as she walked towards him, kissing him on the cheek as she turned to look at the apartment complex. "Its all packed up?" She bit her bottom lip lightly, turning to look at him again. "So we're ready to start all over, huh? A whole new life."
Annah had already found a new job too. She was going to start in a salon, mostly just cleaning up. But she was pretty interested in cosmotology recently.
The girls seemed pretty nice there too, but nothing in comparison to her friends here.

Brandon turned his head to look down the street, bringing his hand up to shield his eyes from the sun. A smile made its way to his face as he recognised his heavily pregnant girlfriend walking towards him.
He had thought about marriage. That much he would admit. But he really was awful at figuring out whether it was what she wanted too. Upon getting the money, he had briefly browsed around. 'I'm just looking' he had a told many a jeweler before they had even managed to ask if he wanted to see a ring. Brandon was as sure as a man could be about who he wanted to spend his life with. It was Annah, hands down. The last 7 months hadn't been easy, and they had had the occasional scream fest over minor things, but even so, it was always Annah.
As she approached him he brought his hand back down and returned her smile. How did he get so lucky?
Brandon nodded with his crooked smirk as she gave him a kiss on the cheek. His eyes were fixed on her as she looked up at the apartment, biting her lip and looking back at him. His eyes met hers and he smiled again, nodding and looking up at the apartment. "Yep. The van just left with the last of it." He said, letting out a quiet sigh, feeling accomplished and a little bit excited at the same time. He moved over and opened up the passenger door of his car and looked at Annah. "You ready?"
[cheers love.]n e e d i n g

Even Annah had to admit she was terrified, scared shitless- If you will. She nodded, looking back at the old place one more time before sliding into the open door, holding her stomach as she did so.
God, she was waddling slightly and everything. This was crazy. It was still surreal. The money, the pregnancy, everything. She looked up at Brandon before he shut the door and she relaxed now. Her hand was resting on her stomach and the bag holding Brandon's gift rested at her feet now.
When he got into the car too she turned to face him, beaming. Absolutely glowing.
"I got you something, I was going to wait until we got to the new place, but I can't wait."
Annah handed him the bag, of course it wasn't much. Brandon was so hard to buy for, not being very materialistic and all. But he really did need new shoes. And these were brand new high top, all star converse. He always looked so cute in them, plus it was their new life right? Time for new stuff.

Brandon sat down in the drivers seat and closed the door firmly after him, he went put the key in the ignition but when we went to start the engine he felt Annah's grinning eyes in the side of his head.
Letting go of the keys he turned to look at her, smirking a little, wondering what the cause for this look was. "What..?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow slightly.
Brandon looked at the bag in question as she spoke and held it in his hands as she handed it to him. He looked down at the square, or rather, rectangular box in the bag, then at Annah. He bit his lip a little. Not knowing whether to open it now or later. Even though he generally wasn't one for surprises. He had to admit, for a second he felt like a kid at Christmas. "You didn't have to An,.." he started, taking the box out of the bag and running his hands along the sides before opening it up.
He stared down at the shoes, and had to bite down on his smirk. Brandon's eyes moved down to the current shoes on his feet; worn, once-white, and torn in places, then back at this new pair. Clean and inviting. Ahh. It was kinda perfect.
Turning to face Annah again he leant over and kissed her, half a 'thankyou' kiss, and a half an 'I love you' one. He then gave her tummy a light peck, and sat back in his seatm kicking off his shoes, and taking the new ones out of the box and loosening the laces.
He put them on, one by one, and they were a snug fit. Leaning his foot up on his seat he started tying the laces. "Thanks." he said, looking at Annah again with a smile, before tying up the other shoe, starting the car and driving on, his new shoes leading the way.

Annah was grinning from ear to ear as he handled the bag and box. She was moving from side to side a bit, just from the excitement. It wasn't that it was a huge deal or anything, but she felt her heart warm when he smirked, yanking the shoes out.
He kissed her gently, not lingering a bit before pecking her stomach as well. Annah's hand touched where he had kissed, rubbing her stomach a bit. She felt their little baby kicking, restlessly moving around and she smiled even bigger.
"The baby knows you're close," She whispered after he thanked her. "Always gets like this when you touch me." Annah took his hand and placed it on her tummy as they drove towards their new home.
An hour later they were there, the moving guys were loading their stuff into their new place. It was still an apartment, but it was nice sized. Annah manuevered out of the car and placed her hands on her hips, looking up at the complex. She smiled, beaming still. "So, this is home now." She whispered, rubbing her stomach. Then she walked over to Brandon and headed upstairs.

Brandon parked the car in the car park of their new complex.
Man, they actually had something of a home and a car park.
Brandon had never had a spot in a car park in his life.
Not to mention a damn good lookin' apartment under his name.
He killed the engine and pulled the keys out of the ignition, stepping out of the car and taking a good look up at their new home in front of them. Brandon walked over to the passenger side and opened the door before Annah strategically maneuvered herself out of the vehicle.
Brandon looked at Annah and gave her a peck on the cheek. Yeah it was. He looked down at her bump and smiled. It was crazy, but he couldn't wait to meet the little guy. Or girl. It was weird feeling this kind of unconditional love for someone he hadn't met yet. He thought his feelings for Annah couldn't be trumped, but as much as he loved the feisty Brunette, he didn't even have to get to know this little person growing inside her to know that he loved it more than he had anything else.
Annah started to make her way upstairs, and Brandon looked at the guys who were unpacking the last of the boxes from the van. "I'll be up in a minute babe," he said, watching her as she carried on up the stairs before walking over to the moving guys and offering a hand to help them finish up quicker.
Not long after, everything was moved in, and Brandon gave his thanks to the guys, paying them a decent amount of tip in bills. After they had left, Brandon looked around the spacious room, his hands on his hips, trying to visualize where everything should go. To be fair, they didn't exactly have very much furniture to go places. Most of their new stuff was for the baby.
He sat down on their couch, a new leather one that Annah had picked out (which even with a plastic cover was still as comfortable as ever), and sighed, exhausted, and ready to fall asleep.

Annah was waddling, which she always thought made pregnant women look ridiculous and she often mocked herself for it. "Okay," She smiled and looked back at the movers, she was going to help but it was best that she didn't lift stuff in her condition.
She went into the apartment and leaned against a wall, looking at the room just as Brandon came in, finished and starting to sweat.
She flopped down on the couch next to him and pecked him on the cheek. "I think we can get everything situated tomorrow, lets just get some rest," Their bed wasn't all put together but they had the matress in the room on the floor and blankets and pillows.
They were used to worse, right? One night couldn't hurt. "Come on," She smiled, pulling herself to her feet and grabbing his hands.
Annah pecked him on the cheek and went off into their room.
"I was thinking..Nevaeh. If its a girl, I mean." She smiled, twirling into their new bedroom. Which was just a matress on the floor and a bunch of boxes around the room. But still. It was theirs.

Brandon agreed and followed Annah into the room. He had to laugh a little at the random mattress and pillows arranged on the floor. It was so them. Brandon smirked and jumped down onto the mattress.
Springy.
He smiled and watched as she twirled. "Hm.. Nevaeh." Yeah. He could go with that. Sure it was heaven spelt backwards and he didn't know whether or not that would be enough of an irony for them to be jynxed into having a little terror. But then again he really didn't mind about names. And he'd probably end up calling her Neve. Which is one that he liked. There were only a few that he really disliked and so far she hadn't mentioned any of them.
"I like it." he said looking up at his girl. Or girls. Who knows.
"What about for a boy?" he asked, patting the space next to him.

Annah snuggled up next to Brandon when he flopped onto the matress. "I like Nevaeh. But I really like Kylie too. It means graceful or something. Or Aria, that ones really pretty." Annah started to have a thing for picking out baby names as of late.
"Boy names?" She moved to look up at Brandon, picturing their baby boy looking just like him. "Tanner. Maybe Tayler. I like Toby." She ran her fingers over his lips and smiled. "I dunno, I like T names for him. If its a him." She pressed a small kiss to his chin before relaxing on her back, using him as a pillow.
Annah took his hands and placed them on her stomach. "What do you think? Any ideas?"

Brandon smiled as Annah listed out other names that she liked. He ran his finger lightly up and down her side.
"Aria's pretty. I like that."
Annah took his hands and put them onto her bump, he held his hands close and felt a small movement from the baby and smirked. He looked back at Annah when she asked him for ideas.
Brandon looked up at the newly painted ceiling and bit his lip in thought. Baby names. Boys names beginning with T.. Hm.
He was a traditionalist when it came to names. He had always like a solid name like, Jack, for example. He always thought it sounded strong, which gave hope for having a child that would grow into something of a strong adult. Though this introduction of less common names from Annah was interesting and intriguing to him.
"I like Toby is nice. I like Tyler. Trey's pretty cool too."
He smiled down at his girl. "Anything you pick though is nice though. I think you'll definitely end up being the 'cool' parent darlin." he joked, knowing full well it was probably going to happen.

Annah smiled wider at the feeling of the baby kicking around inside of her, going crazy with Brandons touch..again.
"Aria...Hm." She bit her lip in thought about a middle name while Brandon sat quietly, probably in thought.
"But what do you want." She turned to look up into his dark eyes with a soft smile still written on her face.
"What about Tyler for a girl?" She thought for a moment. "I actually kind of like it."
But he was smiling at her, telling her it was her choice and that she was going to be the cool parent. That made her giggle.
"Weeeell what can I say?" She leaned up to kiss him softly on the lips. "I just wanna be a good mom, ya know babe? The kind of parents we never had sorta deal?"
Annah sighed softly, biting on the inside of her lip. She had a feeling, not bad..but she wasn't sure it was good. Something was going to happen...soon. She just didn't know what.

Tyler for a girl? Immediately, the image of a small girl, with Annah's beauty, but his eyes, and a smirk that just oozed charm. Brandon smirked. "I like that a lot."
Brandon looked down at Annah and brushed her hair out of her face, curling it behind her ear. He moved from under her and lay down next to her on his side to face her. He ran his hand lightly over the top of her bump. He must be what, barely an inch away from their baby? So close.
The last couple of months had gone by so fast. But it was only in little moments like this when he noticed. When it was just Annah and him, and the baby. When it was just them it was like no one else was really there. Brandon was aware that it was such a cliche- to feel as if 'nobody existed' when you were around the one you loved, but in their case, it really did feel as though time had stopped around them.
Brandon looked at Annah. "You're going to be an amazing mom." he honestly, almost in a matter-of-factly tone.

He liked Tyler. She actually did too. Tyler. Tyler Lane. She would just need a very girly middle name to match it, thats all.
"Good," Brandon was moving around next to her and she snuggled against him as his hand traced over her belly. She yawned softly and her hair fell across her face just barely. "Thanks babe," She bit on her bottom lip a bit. "And you'll be an amazing father."
She looked up at him once more, briefly. "You'd make a pretty good husband too, if I do so say myself." Annahs vision was blurring as her eyelids slowly started to close. She was exhausted, entirely.
It wasn't long before she drifted off either.

Brandon thought to himself after she had spoken. He knew any reply he made now would go unheard, or only get a tired mumble. She was snuggled up next to him and he was staring at the ceiling, his fingers tracing lightly over hers.
Was that a hint?
He had loved the idea of marrying her even before they found out about the baby, but figured her for the un-marrying type. She just seemed too cool for that. As though marriage would be too normal a thing for her.
Brandon bit his lip and frowned. Even now, he didn't understand women, and it certainly didn't help in times like this.
On the way back from work one afternoon he had looked in the window of a jewelers one time and eyed at the rings, fantasizing about which one Annah would prefer and calculating how much of his wages he would have to save up towards even the cheapest ring there. But now that he actually had the money to do it, he didn't know if he had the confidence that she would say yes.
Before he even came to a conclusion of his internal debate, he had fallen asleep and started multi-dreaming about every possible, and impossible outcome that could happen if he bit the bullet and asked Annah Martin to marry him.
