Hi guys! Thanks so much for the reviews on this. I am sorry about the delay I was so busy with work and school, but now that the semester is over for the holidays I'm going to try and write as much as possible! I should be able to finish this up within the next weeks and I hope to write a post Scream 2 Gale/Dewey fic after that! As always let me know what you think on here or on twitter screamkwean

34 weeks

The sun beamed brightly through the bedroom windows of the Riley home. Dewey stretched, slowly waking up, he found his wife in a deep sleep next to him. Dewey turned onto his side and softly admired the dark hair, soft skin, of course the prominent bump where their baby was growing. He ran his hand through her hair, bringing the hand slowly down to rest on the bump. Smiling to himself he moved his body down and pressed a few kisses to the taut skin, wrapping his arm around her.

Gale slowly began to wake up, smiling when she felt Dewey resting near the lower half of her body. She caressed his head, ran her fingers through the hair at his nape. He came back up, softly pecking her on the lips.

"Good morning." he whispered.

"Good morning...why are you whispering?" Gale asked, eyebrows raised in confusion.

"She hasn't woken up yet." Dewey pointed to the belly and rested his hand on her agan, smiling when Gale giggled softly.

"She'll be up soon enough trust me." As if on cue, a soft kick hit Gale's insides and Dewey's hand. Placing her hand on top of Dewey's, she smiled as she watched his expressions as the baby moved inside her.

"You know," Gale started "we've barely talked about names.."

"I thought you said you liked Adriana?"

"I do but, I was thinking maybe...if you wanted we could name her after your sister?" Gale looked up at him, eyes bright. Dewey's curious face turned into one of pure joy as he processed Gale's request. He dove in and kissed her passionately, rubbing his fingers on her cheek and kissing her like his life depended on it. He pulled her into a hug, softly thanking her and telling her how much he adored her.

"And we could keep Adriana as a middle name, I think Tatum Adriana is really pretty." Gale continued to suggest, Dewey still smiling and nodding.

"Tatum Adriana Riley does sound like a nice strong name." He agreed, and Gale beamed at him.

"We finally have a name for our baby!"

"With only a few weeks to spare." Dewey smiled and kissed her again, and together they got ready for the day.

Gale sat with Dewey while he finished putting some final touches in the nursery. She folded a good remainder of Tatum's clothes and packed her clothes for when they first brought her home. Her daughter was kicking her insides like crazy, the baby continuously moving around.

"Your daughter won't leave me alone!" Gale called over to Dewey.

He turned around and walked over, pulling Gale in and rubbing his hand over her belly once again.

"She just wants your attention." Gale sighed as the baby calmed down once Dewey's larger hand settled over her small one.

"She's gonna be such a daddy's girl and I'm gonna be chopped liver." She sighed, going back to sorting the tiny baby dresser. Dewey just took her in and kissed the side of her head a few times.

"You'll be a great mother. She's going to love you so much."

Gale stopped what she was doing and turned slightly to face Dewey.

"I was scared for a while, I didn't think I would know how to be a mother. My mom never was one. But now, I don't know. Every time I feel her move or hiccup or whatever, I get so happy. I know I won't yanno be able to be the perfect mother from the get go, but I'm so ready to be the best one I can."

It was silent for a few seconds, but a comfortable silence as they sat in their daughters bedroom.

"You know I'm not normally this sappy." Gale said after a minute.

Dewey laughed, kissing her again.

"You're right, we won't know what to do immediately. But I'm going to be here for you. As will my mother and Sidney when she is able to help out. And I am very much looking forward to figuring this out with you. We're finally going to get our baby. I'm sure we can figure this out together."

Hearing this only made Gale feel more secure. After being treated like a monster for most of her professional and personal life, Gale needed some reassurance that she could be loveable, a good, nurturing mother. She loved her baby and knowing Dewey was happy and thought she would be a good mother made her feel great.

Gale smiled and grabbed the stuffed cat she had been so drawn to over the past couple weeks. She hugged it close to her and set it down on the dresser again.

"I just can't wait to hold her. I feel like I've been waiting for so long."

"Me too."

Slowly he led her out of the nursery and down the hall to their bedroom. Turning back as he led her, he gave one last glance to the baby's room. In a month they would be parents to a baby girl and everything would be complete.
