A Solangelo Child

A Place To Stay

>21 Weeks Pregnant<

Nico's POV:

"Sally!" I exclaimed hoping that would deter any questions

"Nico, dear, you look worried. Is something wrong?" Sally asked

"No, I just haven't felt the babies kick today. It's not a big problem." I said

"Neeks, they're okay. I know they are. Stop worrying." Will said

Stop worrying? How can I stop worrying if the babies haven't kicked today. It's close to seven in the evening and they haven't kicked.

I guess Will's right though. I really should stop worrying. They're probably fine and I'm just overreacting.

"Here. Why don't we try to wake them up?" Will asked "Or get them moving."

"Please." I said

Will led me to the couch. He pushed lightly on the side of my stomach trying to get one of them move. He tried my other side and got no movement.

"Maybe a little bit of food will do the trick. Either way we have food I made. Would you like to plate yourselves or me?" Will asked

"We can plate. Nico you should try to calm down. They may not be moving due to your anxiety." Sally said

She was probably right. I pushed lightly on the side of my stomach. I felt no movement and I shrugged it off eating dinner. Will put his hand on the side of my bump. His hand was reassuring.

"Neeks, I think you should maybe eat a little chocolate. It may get them moving again." Will said

"It's not a bad idea." Sally said

"Do babies not always move? I thought they almost always moved." Estelle said

"Babies don't always move. They sleep a lot. Nico's body is keeping them the right temperature and the babies fall asleep due to heat. They move putting themselves to sleep." Will said

I ate a little piece of chocolate cake, but they wouldn't move. Will laid on my lap occasionally kissing my bump. I rubbed the top of my bump and we talked about lots of things. Especially the babies.

I felt a little shift and a kick. I gasped touching my stomach. Will nuzzled my bump getting a kick from the babies. I smiled and he kissed my hand. It made me happy.

"What would you do if they have a knife somehow?" I asked

"When they are younger no weapons and when they are older maybe." Will said

"I hope they don't chose knives. Hopefully swords." I said "They have more reach. They won't have to get as close. Less injuries."

I traced his sun tattoo and he kissed my bump again resting his head on my thigh. He was heating my body with his warmth. It felt really good and made me tired.

"I'm tired. I'm sorry that I won't be down here any longer, but the babies make me tired." I said

"We should be headed to bed. Estelle you don't have to go to bed, but remember we have to get up early." Sally said

Will and I went upstairs. He put the blanket over both of us cuddling with us. I felt really happy when he did this. I nuzzled him and he put his arms around me.

I breathed in his scent as he drew patterns over my bump. He lightly rubbed around my belly button. I had started to complain about pain again and I'm sure he's tired of it. He probably hates me and wishes I wouldn't complain.

I admit I complained. A lot. Will moved me, so I was above him and he was below me. I let his breath warm my stomach as he lazily kissed me.

"You're so handsome. You take my breath away." Will said kissing me again

"I have a question." I stated

"What?" Will asked

"Do you think our babies will be okay with not having a mom? Like won't they feel left out on Mother's Day and all of that." I asked

"No, because they get two daddies instead of one. They're special as they grow inside of you. We will feel them kick and be able to hold them in our arms once they come out." Will said

I made him sit up and I kissed his face all over. It made me happy feeling him and I let our lips connect. Little fireworks went off in my chest and I felt as if I would explode of happiness. I can't wait until we are all alone. Just the two of us.
