Gillian sighs as she stands in the doorway of the nursery, hands on her hips, looking at Cal as he sits on the floor with crib parts all around him.
"Cal…"
"Why couldn't the guys who brought this in put this together?"
"Because it would have cost us another three hundred dollars." Gillian walks into the empty room and sits next to Cal.
"And I think that two doctors can figure out how to put two cribs together." Cal looks at Gillian.
"You do huh?" Gillian smiles and nods.
"Yeah I do." Gillian reaches out in front of her and grabs the book of directions before starting to direct Cal on how to put the crib together, eventually pitching in when it started to become a stand up structure. They finish after a while and Gillian smiles at Cal.
"See." Cal nods and shakes the crib a bit to make sure it stayed together.
"Yeah." Gillian shakes her head and kisses Cal.
"I'm going to go get us lunch, think you can handle the second one?" Cal nods and smiles at Gillian.
"Sure love." Gillian kisses Cal before leaving the room and heading downstairs, making her way through her boxes of possessions. Gillian goes out to her car and drives to a deli a few blocks away getting her and Cal lunch before returning home.
Gillian sighs as she opens the door to the house, pausing when she sees Zoe sitting on the couch across from Cal. She shuts the door behind her and smiles fakely as Zoe looks up.
"Zoe, hi."
"Hi…Gillian." Cal looks up and kisses Gillian as she leans over the back of the couch.
"Hello love." Gillian smiles and stands up, rubbing her belly.
"I'll put your sandwich in the fridge." Cal nods and Gillian disappears into the kitchen, putting Cal's food in the fridge before taking hers upstairs. She sinks into Cal's office chair in his study and unwraps her sandwich before starting to eat as she checks her email. She looks up 20 minutes later when Cal comes in.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"What did Zoe want?"
"Oh, she's uh, going to the Bahamas in a few weeks and she wanted to take Em."
"Are you going to let her go?" Cal nods as he starts to eat.
"Yeah if she wants to, and she's got a break coming up. And it's better than her bugging me to go on vacation." Gillian rolls her eyes.
"You do need to go on vacation, and not pick up a cake while you're there."
"So let me take you on vacation." Gillian arches her eyebrows as she takes a drink of her soda.
"You want to take me on vacation?"
"Sure." Cal grins and Gillian throws her napkin at him.
"I'm serious, Gill! Let me take you on vacation while Em goes with Zoe."
"Where are you going to take me?"
"Wherever you want."
"Wherever I want?" Cal nods as he finishes up his sandwich.
"What if I want to go to London? Would you take me there?"
"Sure." Gillian looks at Cal, studying him.
"Seriously?" Cal nods.
"Seriously."
"Okay…then let's go to London."

Gillian sighs and shifts in her seat before looking at Cal.
"How are you so comfortable?"
"Because I'm not six months pregnant with twins." Gillian rolls her eyes and Cal puts up the arm rest, letting her lean against him.
"We're almost there love."
"I hope so." Gillian sighs as she rubs her belly.
"What do you think of Lily?"
"Who?"
"Not who Cal…for her name. What do you think about naming our daughter Lily?"
"S'okay. Has a nice ring to it." Gillian nods.
"I wanna name him after you."
"Why?" Gillian shrugs.
"It sounds nice." Gillian looks up at Cal.
"You don't like it?" Cal shrugs.
"I don't know I just think it sounds pretentious."
"Cal Lightman sounds pretentious?"
"Cal Lightman the fourth sounds pretentious."
"You're the third?" Cal nods.
"Yeah I was named after my grandfather and he was named after his father."
"That's cool." Gillian laughs softly.
"Nice to know someone thinks so." Gillian leans up and kisses Cal.
"We'll talk about it later." Gillian lays her head on Cal's chest and sighs as she opens her book, starting to read quietly. Cal rubs Gillian's shoulder as he opens his own book before starting to read.
