Rowan: I hope he isn’t going to make a habit of wriggling round at three in the morning…
Jake: You keep saying ‘he’.
Rowan: I don’t like to keep saying ‘it’.
Jake: You’re different. |
Rowan: Yes…it felt like – well – like something that was happening to someone else before.
Jake: And now you feel like it’s really happening to you. And that’s better.
Rowan: Yes! I’m not just getting fat and feeling a bit crap, I’m having our baby. I mean, I’d still prefer it if it was going to be delivered by Parcelforce, but I feel – I don’t know – well, it’s good, anyway.
Jake: That’s great…
Jake: Rowan, it’s been kind of hard…
Rowan: I know – you’ve wanted to feel excited and make plans and lists of names and talk about what colour to paint the nursery, and you’ve held back, haven’t you, because I’ve just been blowing hot and cold.
Rowan: Well, I want to do all that too now! I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get round to feeling like that.
Jake: It’s okay – it’s just I’ve been worried about you.
Rowan: I know – but there’s no need to worry. You know what I want to do? After the next scan, let’s go into town and buy something for the baby. Just something small – maybe one little sleepsuit or something – just to say we’ve made a start.
Jake: I’d like that. I don’t think you can buy just one, they all come in packs of three. Or seven. Might as well get seven.
Rowan: You’ve been looking at baby stuff – !
Jake: No I haven’t.
Rowan: Well how do you know how many sleepsuits in a pack, if you didn’t look?
Jake: I just noticed, when I was in M&S…
Rowan: That’s not the kind of thing you just notice. I think that’s really sweet that you were looking.
Jake: Well – I just felt like one of us should be thinking about what we’re going to need, Ro…
Rowan: Oh Jake!
Rowan: Everything will be ok – we’ll do everything together from now on.
