"He gets here in four days and we have nothing for him! We’re going to be such bad parents!” Jack mumbled at Alex who was walked down the stairs a few steps behind his new husband.
“We have some stuff, we have some clothes, and diapers and a blanket, stop worr-,” Jack cut him off for the third time in a row.
“But, where is he going to sleep? We have no cot, no blankets for the bed, no baby formula, no newborn bath, we have nothing Alex!” Jack sat down on the soft, new rug that had been delivered yesterday.
“Look, we’ll go out in a while and we’ll get everything we have to for our baby when he gets here, okay?” Alex stroked Jack’s hair softly before pressing a light kiss to the top of his head and handing him a notepad and a pencil, “Make a list so we know what to get, okay? I have no idea about this baby thing,” He smirked subtly before leaving the room.
“Okay, list, list, um, a cot, blankets, formula, bottles…” Jack continued to make his list, which eventually comprised to majorly 12 different items, and subdivisions among some of those. “Are you ready yet Alex? Come on, I want to go!”

“This one?” Alex asked, pointing to a small, peach painted wooden cot.
“I don’t think it, it’s peach! How about this one?” Jack had his fingers wrapped around a beech wood cot, staring intently at it, but when Alex looked at the price tag, he almost had to put him hand over his mouth.
“Jack, we can’t afford that, not with everything else we have to get,” Alex looked sympathetically at Jack, whose eyes fell to the floor before loosening his grip on the wooden bar, “But I guess we could always sacrifice some stuff we don’t need just yet if you really want it that badly.”
“I do, I really do, it’s perfect Alex! We don’t really need anymore that one bottle for a while anyway, that’s got to give us a little extra, and he’s only going to need a few outfits before he starts to grow, and my mom said she would get him some clothes to help too, so there, now can we get it yet?” Jack’s eyes were sparkling, as were Alex’s by now. Seeing his husband so ecstatic about buying a cot made him even more excited, and nervous at the same time, about bringing the baby home, a baby which still did not have a name, because they hadn’t seen him yet.
“Okay, go find a bottle and I’ll get some blankets, don’t worry, they’ll be yellow and green just like you said, I’ll meet you by the checkout in ten minutes,” Alex smiled before letting go of Jack’s hand and watching him walk to the back of the store.
“Can I help you sir?” Alex spun on his heel to see a twenty something girl with hair the colour the same as his own, wearing a horribly unflattering orange polo shirt.
“Erm, yeah, I guess. I’d quite like this delivered if that’s okay?”
“I’m sorry sir, we can’t do that, they only come flat packed, but I can help you carry it your car if you want?” The girl chuckled to herself a little before looking at Alex.
“That’s okay, my husband can help me, but there’s one more thing, can you help me pick out blankets for my baby?” Alex smiled as he spoke, he was finally able to say that the baby was his, not someone else’s.
“Sure, have you got any colours in mind?”
“I, well, my husband was thinking yellow, and green, does that make sense?” Alex’s cheeks flushed for a second, while it flashed in his mind that the girl was going to laugh at his colour choice.
“That sounds beautiful actually, try these and throw in the white too,” She smiled lifting a leaf green, and a lime green throw from the shelf, handing them to Alex before lifting a lemon cot fitting from the same shelf, and a white panelled blanket from the shelf below.
“Thank you so much, could you carry these for me to the checkout, I’ve kind of got my hands full,” Alex gestured to the boxed cot before smiling at the girl.
“Alex, look at these, aren’t they precious?” Alex turned to see Jack bounding towards him with a few onsies in hand and a bottle in the other.
_
“That doesn’t go there!” Alex was getting frustrated with Jack after the fourth piece of the cot he’d put in the wrong place since they’d started building it three hours ago.
They were sitting in the middle of the baby’s newly painted lime green nursery, surrounded by the soft baby toys mixed with the beech wood of the cot they were piecing together with no instructions. The room had a border close to the middle of the wall, it was a cheap wood with white paint covering it, with white shelves and a white wardrobe in the corner, which already had clothes folded in it for next week. The carpet was a darker, leafy green, which brought the room to a close and out into the wooden floor of the landing, and Alex and Jack’s room, which was directly opposite the baby’s.

“I-I don’t think I can do this Alex, I’m not ready to be a dad, I just-.”
“Jack, be quiet, you’re going to be great, we’ll be great together, don’t worry, come on, they’re right inside that door,” Alex pulled Jack’s hand through the automatic hospital door, and up the stairs.
Four hours later, a doctor, Dr Baker stepped out of the room with a smile on his face.
“Would you like to see your baby in or outside the room?”
“Here?” Alex whispered before standing out of his seat, pulling Jack’s hand up too. The doctor went back into the room and when he emerged from the room, he was holding a small bundle of blue in his arms. He handed the blankets to Alex, whose eyes tracked the doctor’s until the blankets were in his arms, then when he looked down, the baby’s face was relaxed, his eyes closed. He couldn’t take his eyes off him, and when Jack put his arms on Alex’s waist, he smiled softly at the baby. They were finally a family, a real family.
