With the months passing quickly, the soon-to-be-parents had begun preparing for the baby's arrival. Baby-proofing rooms, and working on the nursery.
"How about John for a boy?" Cassandra asked while dipping her brush in the paint. They'd gone for a neutral color to stay faithful to their plan to find out the gender during birth. She paused for a moment to rest a hand on her growing baby bump, smiling as she waited to hear his opinion.

And right then she felt a small kick, bringing a wide smile to her face.
"Someone agrees with me."

Date: 2021-03-14 07:59 pm (UTC)"Such a wonderful gift. A life born from the love between us." She kissed him softly, resting her hand on top of his while nuzzling her nose against his.

Date: 2021-03-14 08:23 pm (UTC)"Best gift we could be given." He smiled then tilted his head to kiss her nose. Before he tried to stop a yawn.

Date: 2021-03-14 09:00 pm (UTC)His touch had a calming effect on her. She was scared at times, wondering if she was doing enough to keep the baby happy and healthy.
"Wanna go get some rest? I'd love to fall asleep in your arms."
no subject
Date: 2021-03-14 09:34 pm (UTC)He would be glad to know that he helped calm her and if she was scared what he could do to help her more. He didn't want her to go through anything on her own. He'd had times like that and didn't want her to feel anything close to how he had. As well as that she'd helped him through some pretty tough times and he he wanted to be with her for anything she needed him for.
"We can do that. I can do laundry tomorrow morning."

Date: 2021-03-15 09:19 am (UTC)She kissed him before she stood up, offering her hand to him with a fond smile.
"And I'll help as much as I can."
no subject
Date: 2021-03-15 04:40 pm (UTC)He sighed. "If by help you mean supervise then, yes, that's allowed."
no subject
Date: 2021-03-15 05:32 pm (UTC)She giggled while leading him to their bedroom. "Okay, I'll supervise. We don't want to worry papa too much, right?" Her free hand rested on her bump as she spoke.
Cassandra climbed into bed and made herself comfortable.

Date: 2021-03-15 11:10 pm (UTC)The thought made her eyes well with happy tears. Motherhood felt so magical.

Date: 2021-03-16 12:31 am (UTC)"We can do that then." He didn't want to see her cry, he was worried they weren't happy tears.
no subject
Date: 2021-03-16 08:14 am (UTC)She smiled up at him, letting him know that they were happy tears. "I was just imagining you holding the baby for the first time."
no subject
Date: 2021-03-16 09:57 am (UTC)He laughed, "Someone is going to have to teach me how to do that, unless it's like holding a very precious football?"
no subject
Date: 2021-03-16 12:31 pm (UTC)Her heart fluttered when he said that. Alex had the most loving eyes and she loved thinking about him looking at her.
"We can practice with dolls."
no subject
Date: 2021-03-16 01:13 pm (UTC)"That sounds like a smart idea." He would hate to do something wrong for the baby.
no subject
Date: 2021-03-16 01:28 pm (UTC)She did the same, just watching him sometimes, thinking about the first time she realized she was in love with him.
"Our baby will be so cute.. I hope they'll have your smile."

Date: 2021-03-16 01:53 pm (UTC)"Sit back." He waved his hands at her to try and get her to sit back as he suddenly moved, sitting up then tucking the covers around her or more importantly the bump then he grabbed his pillow and put it next to her hip. Then he lay out next to her, his feet hanging off the bed so they weren't where his pillow had been and his head was by her hip, just resting a little on her thigh which was under the covers he'd tucked around her.
"This is only gonna be a short story because I'm all tired out from making your room ready for you." He put his hand on her bump where he'd felt the kicking earlier. "I mean you're gonna be here soon and we need to be ready. I bet your momma is already tired of me doing this."
no subject
Date: 2021-03-16 02:24 pm (UTC)"Not tired at all. Momma loves it."
Her fingers played with his hair gently while he spoke, adding to the connection between them and the baby.
"Your papa's taking really good care of me."

Date: 2021-03-22 11:22 pm (UTC)"But one day you're going to do incredibly stupid stuff sometimes and you won't want to tell us about it, I hope you have friends like mine, well ours." He reached to brush her fingertips with his. "I used to have a best friend who I wish you could meet. He'd love you and no doubt teach you all kinds of terrible things about me and your momma as well as so many bad habits."
He laughed quietly.
"We did stupid things all the time, more than your momma knows." He made a face at Cass briefly. "Me and my best friend, it was impressive we made it sometimes..." He faultered a little. There was a sort of cruel irony to that. It wasn't their dumb teenage antics that had cost them. It was something the pair of them hadn't even considered. "Love them, every day, don't be afraid of that." He closed his eyes and pressed his cheek to the bump.
"Sean was... oh when you're older I show you a picture of him. I'll show you a picture of your momma when we first met too, if she doesn't stop me. She was very pretty, she got even more beautiful though. But that's another story." He didn't look at her then, he gave her a little sideways glance.
no subject
Date: 2021-03-23 12:27 am (UTC)"I won't stop you. Those are special memories that should be shared with the entire family."
Cassandra flashed him a playful grin when he gave her that sideways glance.
"Sean supported your papa through so many things, and I hope to do the same."
no subject
Date: 2021-03-26 05:36 pm (UTC)"I miss him." He whispered. He didn't even think he could ask her if they ever had a boy could they add Sean's name in. He didn't think he could even if he knew she wouldn't mind. "And your momma looks after me when I get sad about that. She's great like that." He paused as he wasn't sure if he felt something then. He glanced up to Cass.
"We were trying to pick a name for you earlier. Do you want to help us?" He joked, hand still touching Cass, wondering if he'd get some sort of response.
no subject
Date: 2021-03-27 02:36 pm (UTC)Her hand rested on top of his, hoping to feel another kick. "We'd really like that.. Give us a kick when you hear a name you like the best."
no subject
Date: 2021-03-27 02:55 pm (UTC)"You've got to give us your best kick to let us know." He glanced back a Cass a moment. "Jane?" He didn't feel anything. He looked at Cass to make the next suggestion.
no subject
Date: 2021-03-27 03:25 pm (UTC)"Hmm... Noah?" She felt a light kick. "The baby kinda likes it, I think." Cassandra laughed softly, gently caressing the bump.
