Part 42!
More baby daddy series, HERE.
Summary: Matt tells you and Charlotte to go enjoy getting your nails done together and have one last date just the two of you before baby girl is born.
The morning started with the sound of little feet running down the hallway. You had barely made it into the living room when Charlotte came charging out of her room in her pyjamas, her curls sticking out in every direction from sleep. One of her stuffed animals was tucked under her arm, and she was already talking before she even reached the couch.
“Daddy!”
Matt looked up from his coffee and immediately smiled. No matter what he was doing, Charlotte always had a way of becoming the most important thing in the room the second she appeared.
“Good morning, baby girl.”
Charlotte climbed onto the couch and practically into his lap. You followed behind her at a much slower pace, one hand resting on your very pregnant belly. At nearly full term, keeping up with Charlotte wasn’t exactly easy anymore.
“Daddy,” Charlotte said seriously, “me and Mommy go get nails?”
Matt blinked. “Get your nails done?”
Charlotte nodded enthusiastically. “I want pink nails.” You laughed as you lowered yourself onto the couch beside them. “I think somebody wants a girls day.”
“Girls day!” Charlotte repeated excitedly.
Matt wrapped an arm around her and smiled. “I think that’s a pretty good idea.”
The second he agreed, Charlotte let out a happy squeal and buried her face against his chest. Matt laughed before reaching into his wallet and pulling out his card.
You immediately shook your head. “Matt, no.”
“What?”
“You don’t have to give me your card.”
He held it out anyway. “Take it.”
“I can pay for our nails babe. I have money.”
“I know you have the money.”
“Then why are you giving me your card?”
Matt looked at you like the answer was obvious. “Because I want my girls to have a fun day.”
You rolled your eyes affectionately while Charlotte watched the interaction with great interest.
“We’re literally just getting our nails done.”
“No,” Matt corrected. “You’re getting your nails done. Charlotte’s getting her nails done. Then you’re getting coffee.”
“Lemonade daddy, not coffee. Yuck. ” Charlotte corrected immediately.
Matt laughed. “Right. Lemonade.”
“And cake pop.”
“Of course we can’t forget the cale pop.” Matt laughed.
Charlotte nodded proudly.
Matt looked back at you. “Maybe do a little shopping, whatever you want, it’s all on me baby. Go enjoy yourselves.”
You smiled despite yourself. “Matt.”
He leaned over and kissed your forehead. “Baby, you’re carrying our daughter and you’re due any day now. Let me spoil you a little.”
Charlotte pointed at you. “Mommy need treats.”
Matt immediately pointed back at her. “See? Charlotte gets it.”
Eventually you laughed and slipped the card into your purse while Matt looked entirely too pleased with himself.
A little while later, you and Charlotte were walking into the nail salon, and the second the doors opened she completely froze. Her little eyes grew huge as she stared around the room. Every wall was covered in rows and rows of colourful nail polish bottles.
“So many colours,” she whispered.
You smiled. “I know.”
The employees immediately noticed her and started smiling. One of them showed her the tiny pedicure chair made for kids, and Charlotte’s entire face lit up.
“Mine?”
“Yep, that’s yours.”
Charlotte climbed into it immediately and looked incredibly proud of herself. “I’m big girl.”
The warm bubbling water made her giggle instantly. She sat there kicking her little feet while watching the bubbles, completely fascinated by the whole experience. The real entertainment started when the nail technician began washing her feet. The second the woman’s fingers brushed the bottom of her foot, Charlotte burst into laughter.
Not just a little giggle. Full toddler belly laughs. “Mommy!” she squealed.
You immediately started laughing too. “What happened?”
“It tickly!”
The technician laughed. “I’m sorry.”
Charlotte shook her head while continuing to giggle. “No, it’s funny.”
Every time her feet were touched, she started laughing all over again. At one point she laughed so hard she nearly slid forward in the chair. The entire salon was smiling at her by then.
When it came time to choose her colour, Charlotte took the decision very seriously. She stared at the wall of nail polish for nearly a full minute before suddenly pointing.
“That pink.”
Of course it was the brightest pink in the entire salon. You ended up choosing a softer pink for yourself, and the second Charlotte noticed, she gasped. “Mommy getting pink nails too!”
“We match.”
Charlotte immediately started bouncing in her chair. “Matching!”
For the rest of the appointment she kept holding her hands up to admire them. Every few minutes she’d turn to you and proudly announce, “Mommy look.”
“I see them.”
“Pretty.”
“They’re very pretty sweet girl.”
By the time you left the salon, she was convinced she had the most beautiful nails in the entire world.
Afterward, you stopped at Starbucks. Charlotte proudly ordered her lemonade and pointed at the birthday cake pop she wanted while you ordered an iced vanilla latte and your own cake pop. Once you got everything, the two of you sat in the car together enjoying the warm afternoon.
Charlotte sat in her car seat holding the cake pop with both hands while occasionally stopping to admire her nails again. “Mommy look.”
“I see them baby, they’re so pretty. Daddy’s gonna be excited to see your nails.”
For a few minutes you sat together in comfortable silence before Charlotte suddenly looked over at you.
“Mommy?”
“Yeah baby?”
“Baby come soon?”
Your heart immediately melted. “Very soon sweetheart.”
Charlotte nodded thoughtfully. “I show her toys.”
“You will?”
“My stuffies too.”
“She’ll love that.”
Charlotte thought for another moment before adding, “I help you Mommy.”
You reached back and squeezed her little hand. “You already help Mommy.”
The smile that spread across her face could have lit up the entire city. “I’m big sister.”
“You are.”
Your chest ached in the best way possible. The rest of the drive home was spent listening to Charlotte explain all the things she planned to teach her little sister. How to colour. How to watch cartoons. How to cuddle stuffies. How to share snacks. How to give hugs. Every word made you fall a little more in love with the little girl sitting behind you.
The second you opened the front door, Charlotte took off running. “Daddy!”
Matt barely had time to stand before she crashed into his legs. Laughing, he scooped her up into his arms. “Hi baby girl.”
“Daddy look!”
Charlotte immediately shoved both hands into his face. Matt pretended to inspect them very carefully before gasping dramatically. “Oh wow.”
“Pink!” Charlotte announced proudly.
Matt smiled. “They’re beautiful.”
Charlotte immediately kicked her feet out. “Toes pink too!”
“No way.”
Charlotte then launched into an excited toddler explanation of her entire day. “I got cake pop. And lemonade. And feet tickly. So tickly.” Just remembering it made her start laughing again.
Matt looked over at you and smiled. “Sounds like somebody had fun.”
“Oh, she definitely had fun.”
Matt walked over and wrapped an arm around your waist before leaning down to kiss you softly. “How was your girls day, baby?”
“It was perfect.”
“Good.”
Then his eyes landed on your hand. “What colour did you get?”
You held your nails up for him to see. His smile immediately grew.
“You guys matched.”
Charlotte gasped. Charlotte pressed her hand against yours and immediately started giggling. Matt looked between the two of you and shook his head fondly. “You two are adorable.”
Then Charlotte suddenly looked down at your belly and her eyes widened. “Baby sister need pink nails.”
You and Matt immediately burst out laughing. Matt kissed the top of her head. “Maybe when she’s bigger, baby.”
Charlotte nodded seriously. “When she big like me.”
“Exactly.”
Your heart melted as Matt wrapped an arm around your shoulders and Charlotte cuddled happily against his chest, both of them admiring their matching pink nails. The living room was filled with Charlotte’s excited little voice, Matt’s laughter, and the occasional kick from the baby in your belly.
