She shook her head and sighed, "I don't want to get married before the baby's born. In no way does my dream wedding involve me being eight months pregnant," she admitted to him. "And honestly, it would feel like we were only doing it because we have to, not because we wanted to." She sighed, "I don't want to hyphenate the name," she added quickly. "I don't even feel like a part of the Jacobs family, there's no need to affiliate him with them. It's stupid, I'm just being...ridiculous."
She kissed him gently, resting her forehead against his. "All that matters is that we're going to be a family. I just sometimes get hung up on the little details," she held herself against him and took a breath. "And if I'm being really honest, I think I'm just pissed that Olivia of all people got engaged before we did," she laughed. "God, I can't...stand her."

It was reassuring to hear that she didn't want to get married before their son arrived. Though that didn't keep him from feeling like an engagement was something that they should put off forever, and he also knew that it wasn't something that he wanted to put off much longer.
Shaking his head at her, he dismissed the idea of hyphenating the baby's last name. It wasn't even something he had ever wanted to do in the first place. "Okay, then the baby will just be a Finn. And someday you will be too," finding the right time for it was an entirely different problem, he knew. "And honestly, I'm a little annoyed that Parker and Olivia beat us to it, too. And Cooper and Madison as well, if I'm being honest." Smiling softly at her he added, "I'm a very competitive man, Amber. And surprisingly this is no exception."

Amber smiled softly up at Brandon. "Let's be honest, Brandon, it's not a race. But it is a contest and we win every time," she told him teasingly. Leaning up on her toes, she kissed him quickly but stopped herself, not wanting to get carried away. Despite what Brandon had said she still did understand why he might feel awkward being with her when she was so far along in her pregnancy. But Amber always found it was easy to get carried away with Brandon nearby, so she'd taken to avoiding anything that might make it hard for her to stop.
Stepping back, she took a deep breath and shifted her weight. "Did you want to watch a movie maybe?"

When the realization occurred to him that he couldn't actually remember the last time that he and Amber had acted like themselves again. Brandon had never noticed how much of their relationship seemed to be rooted in the physical intimacy they had, and now that they had spent some time without it, he knew that it was something that they could do, but not something that he wanted to continue doing much longer. That was why her act of pulling away filled him with a sense of disappointment. Reaching for her and pulling her close again, he shook his head at her question. "No, I don't."
He kissed her again, enjoying the feeling of just being with her.

Amber sighed contently as he pulled her close and kissed her, she smiled up at him and ticked her eyebrow up. "Careful, Brandon," she teased. "I might get carried away." Still, she leaned up and kissed him, fingers toying with the buttons of his shirt. She smiled against his lips and laughed softly, "You know, I actually can't wait for the baby to get here for a lot of reasons," she told him. "Starting a family sounds pretty wonderful right about now. But it'll be nice to go out and have a drink, see both of my feet again, keep you in bed and make you late for work," she grinned.
She looked up at him and lifted her eyebrows with a broad grin. "Want to make out like teenagers? It could be fun," she nodded. "We can pretend we're out past curfew and our parents could find us at any minute," she laughed.

Brandon smiled at her, he had to admit that he was looking forward to going out with her to get a drink again, or spending all day in bed with her, even if it meant that they were going to have to call a babysitter. Laughing softly at her suggestion, he shook his head at her. "I have another idea," he teased.
