the setup

29

it had been a couple weeks after sasha had found out she was pregnant. she told all her best friends and just like naomi said, she started to show now that she was three months into her pregnancy.

she was still working and shawn had told her to take an easy as he and hunter would step down after she came from maternity leave, thankfully. she came home from work a couple hours before seth and decided to take a shower before relaxing. she put on a sports bra and shorts since she was disgustingly hot.

it was june and honestly hotter than necessary. she sat on her bed and watched some rick and morty while she waited for seth to come home. he had basically been living at her place, but they hadn't discussed what they'd do once the baby came.

sasha began to dooze off when seth opened her bedroom door. "you scared me, i was calling you."

"sorry, my phone died and forgot where i put it." she mumbled as she looked up at him. "how was work?"

"long, but i'm glad to be home with you." he smiled, kissing her forehead. "i'm gonna shower and come back." he said making sasha nod. it didn't take long for seth to come back in pyjama pants without a shirt. he leaned sasha forward as he sat behind her with her laying between his legs. he rested his hands on her growing stomach while she laid her head on his shoulder.

"i've been so tired lately." she mumbled to him.

"i know, but it's okay. you can sleep all day if you want, i'll do whatever needs to be done. i just want you and the baby healthy." he said making her smile softly.

"maybe this is the hormones talking, but everytime time i see you i wanna cry." she says making him frown. "and it's not because i'm sad or you make me sad, it's because of how much you actually love me, seth. i've never felt to seen and needed, i just, oh see, here they come again." she laughed to herself.

"sash-"

"you're the best thing that has ever happened to me and i just want you to know that. i love you, more than you'll ever know." she said making him feel warm inside. he planted a kiss on her neck, mumbling a quick 'i love you' before he placed his head into the crook of her neck.

"this baby is the luckiest baby and she hasn't even been born yet." he chuckled making sasha laugh.

"okay, enough with the mushy stuff, i promise i won't be this sappy all the time." she laughed.

"i wouldn't mind."

"of course you wouldn't, mister shakespeare." she teased. "but i do promise to be nice as long as i'm in control of my emotions because there will definitely be a time where i tell you i hate your face."

"ouch."

"hush, it wouldn't be true because i absolutely adore your face, it's my favourite thing about you." she says making him blush. "now, can we get a pizza, extra extra pepperoni?"

"anything you want, babygirl." he said as he got his phone out to order the pizza. sasha took this as an opportunity to snap a picture of seth's hand holding hers, resting on her stomach to send to her friend's groupchat.

charlotte [ 7:27 pm ]: sasha, you guys are the cutest

renee [ 7:29 pm ]: shut up, i'm in love with you two <33

bayley [ 7:30 pm ]: can't wait to come down and see this in action. i'm so happy you're happy, bae! <3

alexa [ 7:30 pm ]: you guys are everything ekk :))

"sasha?"

"hmm?"

"you gotta move, the pizza guy says he'll be here very soon."

"oh, boo! i'm comfortable." she says before leaning forward. seth chuckled, pecking her forehead, grabbing his wallet, leaving his phone on the nightstand. it began to ring loudly. sasha picked it up and saw it was dean, she answered the phone since she hadn't met him in all this time. "hello?"

"oh my god! it's you!"

"it's me!"

"my best friend's pregnant girlfriend!" dean squeals making the two of them laugh. "i've heard so much about you."

"same! how's your baby?"

"he's great, just cranky almost all day." dean laughed. "so! let's see the bump, seth says you're showing!"

"okay, okay," sasha giggled. she showed off her three month baby bump and dean cheered. "there she is."

"okay, you're my new favourite person, you're the cutest." he said making sasha smile with a light blush. dean had the best energy ever. he made her immediately happy which was weird. "so where is lover boy?"

"getting my pizza." sasha smiled and dean nodded in approval. "so when do i get to meet you?"

"well, i was gonna come down whenever you guys do your gender reveal, but honestly, i'm free this week if you're down."

"i totally am." sasha smiled while seth walked back into the room, pizza in hand.

"baby, who was on the phone?" seth asked before he saw she was on facetime with dean. "oh hey deano."

"i'll leave you guys to your pizza, ha-ha, but i'll text seth more about coming down soon. bye!"

"bye!" sasha smiled, hanging up the phone. "well, bay is coming down, so is dean, maybe we can have a little get together."

"that'd be cool." seth nodded. "but i've been meaning to ask you this, sash." he said as he handed her a slice of pizza. "where are we gonna live once the baby is born?"

"ah, i meant to ask you this too." she laughed. "well, i live in a one bedroom condo, i don't think here is an option, plus i don't even own it."

"okay, so my place?" he asked and she shrugged. "i own it, it has four rooms and can be revamped for a baby."

"can we get rid of some of the brown?"

"if you insist."

"then casa rollins, here i come."

"also, when we get married, which last name will we have?" he said with a condescending smirk.

"if this is your way of asking which last name the baby will have, you've just lost, pal."

"i think ella rollins is cute." he joked.

"ella banks is just so much better."

"i hate that you're right, but i'm not taking your last name." he said making her scoff. "what?"

"don't you like, seth banks, mister banks?"

"no, no, i do not." he said making her frown with puppy dog eyes. "not gonna work this time. she sighed in defeat.

"what about we combine the two? something like ranks or bollins?"

"sasha those are both appalling." he chuckled, biting down into his pizza.

"whatever, we'll figure something out."

"you better or i'm running away in my white dress." he says making her laugh.

"i hate you."

a/n okay that's it for tonight, goodnight lmao
