Miss me yet? I'm gonna be posting an author's note for part II so i'm not gonna say much here. Just that if you haven't read part I and II yet, do it now because you won't understand this story AT ALL if you don't.

Also, I hope to see some familiar pen names in my reviews later. :)


Tawni's POV

"Candles, napkins, table cloth...are you sure we have everything, Chad?"

"Relax, Tawni," Chad said, putting his arms around me. "Thanksgiving's not for another week. Do you want to cook the turkey a week in advance too?

"I'm sorry," I apologized. "It's just that this is our first Thanksgiving together and I want it to be memorable."

"Everything will be fine," he assured me. He put his hands on my belly. I wasn't sure whether he was talking to me, about Thankgiving, or to himself, about being a father.

"Zoey will be here any day," he said, sounding both nervous and excited.

"Lily," I corrected impatiently. "Her name is Lily."

"No, it's not," Chad snapped. "I've been dreaming abouth having a little girl named Zoey my whole life. I'm not giving that up."

"Well, at least I'm willing to compromise," I snapped back. "I suggested we pick another name that we both like, but you won't even look at a baby name book." I stomped up the stairs in a huff. I expected Chad to follow me and apoligize for snipping at me, but he didn't. We just hadn't been getting along very well lately. Maybe it was just stress about the baby, but it seemed like we were fighting 24/7.

I sat down on my bed and looked around at the plethora of baby stuff scattered around the room. Expensive cribs, high chairs, and change tables were piled in a corner, still in their boxes, and the mountain of clothes and toys was so tall, if it collapsed, I'd probably be buried alive. And yet, I was still paranoid about not having enough stuff. I kept going to the store an buying diapers. By now I must have at least 750. I hoped to God that we wouldn't go through all of them, because if our daughter used that many diapers while she was still a size one, Chad and I were going to be in deep shit...no pun intended.

"I can't wait to see you," I whispered. Lily kicked in reply and I smiled. Then I remembered how we still had a million and one things to do before she got here. Would we be ready in time? And if we were, would Chad and I be good parents? I guess I'd have to wait and find out.


So if you're new and you decided not to listen to me and you started reading this story without reading part I and II first, TOLD YOU SO! You have no idea what's going on, do you? That's okay. Just go back and read the first two parts. Also, Check out my website ra4chel(.)piczo(.)com for more information about me and this story and a bunch more random crap.
