a/n: sneaker idea was all thanks to @californiv. I just turned it into a story :) 

Avery POV

I sighed, rolling over into Marshall's empty spot in the bed before looking over at the clock that illuminated two am. Barely able to keep my eyes open, I tip toed into the living room to see Marshall half asleep on the couch, with the blanket haphazardly over him as ESPN was on in the background. "Marsh" I said as I caressed his face.

"Yeah, baby?" he said as he grabbed hold of my hand. I quickly furrowed my eyebrows, "why are you on the couch?" I asked as he propped himself up on his arm. "I think I might have upset you yesterday"

I let out out a small scoff, "what are you talking about, crazy?" I asked as he nervously fumbled with my wedding rings. "I'm sorry if I upset you in anyway when we were discussing the name for the baby, I didn't mean to" he said as there was a small silence between us. "But I don't think I could ever choose, Av"

"I do know, whatever name is chosen is going to fit that precious little girl" he said as his facial expressions softened, almost on the verge of tears. "I can't wait to have a mini you, running around. Cause one was just, not enough" he said as I let out a laugh.

"Marshall" I said as I rolled my eyes. He took a deep breath, "I know this is what we've anxiously waited for, and I'm trying to not let my anxiety and insecurities get the best of me - but its hard" he said as we made eye contact. "I haven't done this in over twenty years"

"I haven't done this, ever" I said as I nudged Marshall, "Marsh, you are such a good father. Look at your girls" I said softly.

"You raised them while you were doing Lord knows what, when you're career was pulling you in every direction" I said as I took his hand in mine. "This little girl is loved beyond measure already, everything will be okay"

"I- I bought her something" Marshall said as he got up, walking into his office. "Really?" I asked softly. He nodded as he walked back with a shopping back, "as much as I wanted to go overboard in the store, Denaun controlled me and I only bought one" he as we made eye contact. "For now"

I let out a small laugh, as I pulled a box of baby Nike's out of the bag. "Marshall" I said as I poked my lip out. "It was only right her father bought her, her first pair" he said as he tried to hide the smile across his face, "and their basics, so mama can match them with everything"

Tears welled up in my eyes, "oh my go- I can't wait to put these on her" I said as he shook his head. "Yes, you can" he said as he hovered over me, connecting his lips to mine. "She needs a little more time in there" he said as he ran his hand along my bump.
