-Taylor's POV-
I run down the stairs to grab the stuff we need to change our looks for our trip out into town. After grabbing the spray hair dye and some fake piercings. I head back upstairs. Upon entering our bedroom John is laying back on the bed waiting.
"Okay, let's do you first. Also we didn't have anything else other than some fake piercings. However, I think I could get away with using makeup to change your face shape and giving you some bags. Also I'm gonna add some piercings."
He just nods his head and follows me into the bathroom. I quickly get out my makeup and start to do magic. Before I know it, John looks completely different. He went from a regular guy to a pierced hooligan.
I finish and tell him to go show Tree while I get to work on the hardest part. Getting this spray coloring into my hair. Soon enough Tree comes up and gets the back of my head covered in the blue spray. After finishing with the color change I move on to changing my face shape, I add a lip ring and a nose ring. As well as much heavier makeup than normal. I even uncovered the hickeys John left the other day.
I check in the mirror and add my contacts before heading down the stairs with a new shirt for John and ready to go.
"John wears this." I say holding out the tank top to John, he takes it and quickly changes. After a minute Tree comes over with a sleeve of press-on Tattoos and places them onto his arms carefully. After a few minutes it has adhered to his skin and we are ready to go.
However, before I can exit the house John stops me.
"You look hot." He states looking up and down.
I let out a chuckle, "I better."
He leans over and places a kiss on my lips, before opening the door. I quickly exit the house and go to the car with Steve and Tree. Soon enough, we are both getting dropped off at the front door of Walmart and walking in. John turns and places a kiss on my forehead. "Are you ready?" He asked.
"More than ever. The first stop needs to be toys for Emmy, but let's just do a couple presents as she will have some at the house and here." I respond by placing a kiss onto his cheek.
"That sounds like a plan." he says while grabbing a buggy and following me into the store.
Once inside we make a left and head towards the back of the store to where all the toys are located. On the way, I of course pick up a few things making John chuckle.
"What?" I ask, hearing his laugh.
"Nothing," He quickly responded, following behind me. However, once we get past the makeup he stops for a minute. This causes me to stop and look at him.
"I need to grab something." He explains after seeing my questioning look. I nod in response.
He quickly turns around and heads back a few rows. As he does this I turn down one of the face wash aisle to take a look at the different masks they have. After a minute or two he comes back with a box of condoms, and places it in the buggy.
I shake my head with a grin across my face.
"What do you need those for?" I ask him.
He freezes for a second like a kid that got caught taking candy from a bowl. "Umm... I thought... I'm confused." He responds, stumbling over his words, but finally makes intelligible sentences.
I just look at him and say, "What do you need those for?"
"I thought we were..." He pauses trying how to say it, but soon gives up. "Nevermind, I'll put them back." He finishes, going to grab the box to take it back. I immediately start laughing, "No, I'm just messing with you."
He gives me a very skeptical look.
"If you do not have any, we need to go ahead and grab some."
He grins, "Do you have to mess with me like that?"
"Yeah, it brings me joy to see you squirm. Now that we have baby protection, let's go get Emmy some toys." I quickly spin the buggy and we head off towards the toys section. We quickly head to the aisle with the toddler toys spread throughout. "Okay, let's get smaller toys that can be easily moved from one place to the other, and maybe one larger one to keep at the house here for when we come back."
"Sounds like a plan."
We slowly make our way through the aisle and discuss what are all the different toys that Emmy would enjoy playing with. Soon enough we have about 6 presents for her to open in the buggy.
"Okay, this should be good. I mean we got her a bigger present, and a few smaller ones we could take on the road."
"Yeah, and not to mention that she is getting more from both our parents. Did we need to grab any clothing while we were here?" He asks.
I stand still for a moment thinking as he moves stuff around the buggy to put in the larger toy.
"Yeah, she needs another jacket, and an outfit for the Christmas party." I responded after a minute of waiting.
John comes up beside me placing his hands on my hips for a moment, "That sounds good. Is this a big party? Like are all your friends coming? Actually, are we supposed to dress up?" He asks, lowering his forehead to mine.
I smile and quickly respond, "Yes, Yes, and Yes, but your Jeans and polo would work."
"Okay, I only have that one black polo. If I need another, we need to go ahead and get it." He says. Once he finished talking, he bent over and placed a kiss on my lips.
I respond by giving him a list back before pulling away, "Let's go to the Christmas section and meet Tree and Steve. Then I need to go get the ingredients for my cookies."
He quickly grabs the buggy for me and pushes it. A few minutes later, we get to Christmas where Tree and Steve are trying to decide what tree we want.
"I think this one." Tree says looking at one of the trees.
"I mean it's pretty but it is supposed to fill up that area right? If so you need the taller one." Steve responds.
I walk up behind them, "I agree with Steve, I need to fill up that area, but I do like the other one for a smaller setting."
Tree nods her head. "Okay, so we need the bigger one, Steve, go get that ordered and pulled up front." Tree directs.
"Fine, but I'll need help." He responds.
Tree huffs, "Take John."
Steve raises his hands in defense and leaves. John looks at me in acknowledgement and follows.
I then turned to Tree, "Okay now we need the stockings, decorations, lights, and garland. Right?" I ask.
"No, the tree has lights on it, but you also need the plates and stuff for the party. Unless you plan on using your fine china?" Tree questions.
"Okay, and let's see about the plates."
We quickly head off in the direction of the decorations and get ornaments for the tree, as well as a topper. Soon after that we head over to the Wreaths and grab some garland for the table and mantle. Once we select this, John and Steve are back.
"What did I miss?" John asks, wrapping his arms around me and placing kiss on my head.
"Not much. All we have left for now is the stockings." I respond leaning back into his chest relaxing for a moment.
"Okay. Let's get this done." He says, taking control of the buggy and following me. I look at all the stockings for a while and sigh. "What is it?" He asks.
"I don't like these," I responded.
"Well... Why not get some that will work for now and next year we can get everything figured out sooner. These past two weeks have been crazy. No, thanks to me." He kisses my cheek and I agree. I grab a few stockings that I like and we head to the checkout. Once up there Tree is checking out in the other lane.
"Hey, come over here. I can pay all at once." She says motioning me over.
Both John and I quickly rush over and start to place the items we have on the conveyor. We get everything up on the belt other than a singular box that is still in the bottom of the buggy.
John, without thinking, places it on the counter and both Steve and Tree start laughing. I immediately turn red in embarrassment. After figuring out why they were laughing, John also turned a bright shade of red.
"Already finished that other box?" Steve asks, with a chuckle.
"Never had a box," John says in response, still beat red but now hiding me behind him.
Tree in turn slaps Steve, "Behave, They are grown adults and we are paying with their card. Let them be, or you will get nothing for a month."
Steve immediately stood up straight, "I'm sorry for laughing at you."
John nods his head in acceptance and turns to face me.
"You okay?"
I just respond by nodding my head yes.
"I'm sorry. I didn't think about it." He says looking down.
I place a kiss on his cheek, "It's okay. If it was just us that would not have been a problem."
He soon turns back around and sees that Tree and Steve are paying. After the charge goes through we take one of the buggies and head out the door, packing up the car and back to the place I call home.
