(Time Skip: Three Months Later)
Clem's POV:
It's been just three months since Gabe and I found out that I was pregnant with our baby and although he even hasn't changed that much, things have begun to change in this little family of ours. None of them bad per se, but actually kind of good. For example, just two months ago was AJ's birthday where he officially turned seven years old. And even though he still a little, he tends to act like a grown-up at times. Side effects of the world we live in, I guess. Also know that I am four months pregnant, it's begun to take its toll on me. I've been having morning sickness almost every day, my boobs and nipples are starting to swell and get sore, I've been having weird cravings, and most notably, my belly has begun to get bigger into a baby bump. It's been a bit of a hassle for Gabe and I, we seem to manage fine. He's been so supportive of me it is whatever it takes to take care of me, AJ, and her unborn child. Like a good husband and father should.
I've also been hanging out with Sophie from time to time as well. She has no only got three months more to go before her baby is due as I on the other hand at five, so her baby bump looks a lot bigger than mine. Whenever we hang out nowadays, we usually talk about her pregnancy problems and how adorable our babies will be once they're born. I still think it's crazy that Gabe and I will be officially parents in just five months. After everything that I've had to go through for the last decade, I'd never expect that I would have ever fallen in love, got married, and even have a child of my own. And with my dorky best friend or less. I really can't think Gabe enough for everything he's given me and done for both AJ night. It truly is the love of my life and I am more than excited for us to see our little miracle.
It was late afternoon as AJ was having a play date with Tenn and Skyler and I was just lying down getting caught up in my thoughts after throwing up like usual as I waited for Gabe to come home after his lookout shift. I then heard a knock on the door as I yelled out, "It's open!" The door is an open does Gabe came in with what looked like a lunchbox. "Hi, honey. How are you feeling?" He can only asked me whine down next to me. "Just laying here after my run of the mill vomiting." I responded as we both then giggled. "I know it's tough, Clem. But we only have five months to go before a little angel is brought into the world." He said snuggling up to me. "Yeah, I know. I was scared at first and to be honest, part of me still is. But now I'm genuinely excited." I said as he then replied, "I am too." "Here, I brought you a little something to eat in case you were hungry." He continued as he then handed me the lunchbox and I opened it. Inside was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, some chips, bottled water, a cookie, and an apple. "Awww! Thanks, babe. I'm starving." I said digging into my sandwich is Gabe chuckle before applying, "Well I imagine so. You are eating for two now after all." "Oh my God, Gabe. You are so freaking cheesy." I said giggling to myself as I still had food in my mouth before swallowing it. "I believe the term you're looking for is dorky." He then said is I caressed his cheek while he rubbed my baby bump with one hand. "You are a dork. But that's just one of the thousand reasons why I love you." I said is Gabe then said back, "I love you too." before we both leaned in and lock lips for a passionate kiss.
As we kissed, I felt movement occur inside my body as it caused me to gasp but in a happy way. "What? What is it?" Gabe asked me as we separated lips and a smile girl on my face. "The baby just kicked." I answered as a smile crapped its way out to his face as well. "Is that so?" He playfully asked before putting both hands on my baby bump as he began to coo to it, "Is that true? Are you kicking for mama? Are you moving for mama?" He then kissed my belly at least eight times as it tickled a bit to be honest. "Mama and Dada can't wait to meet you, little ass kicker. Your big brother wants to meet you too. Just know that mommy and daddy love you. We love you." He continued to coo while kissing my baby bump one more time as I couldn't help but smile at his cuteness. "You're going to meet your uncle Louis, your aunties Violet and Minnie, and everyone else who will love you so much." Gabe still cooed as the smile on my face in the joy I was feeling couldn't seem to leave. Not that I wanted it to. "Are you done having a full conversation with our unborn child?" I asked him as he then looked back up at me and said, "Yeah. At least for now."
I started to Jan as I was feeling super tired. It must have been due to the fatigue I've also been experiencing during my pregnancy. "You tired, baby?" He asked me as I rubbed my eyes and just nodded at him. "Well it is kind of late. Let me tuck you in bed." He said as he got up and talk to me under the covers like we do to AJ every night. "God, I feel like a child right now." I said to Gabe as that got a laugh out of both of us. "Well you act like a child sometimes." Gave joked back as I just playfully School didn't cross my arms. "Says the guy who threw a fit when he wasn't going to take out Joan." I said back as Gabe rolled his eyes and replied, "OK, point taken." We both chuckled again is gay but then gave me a kiss on the forehead as he then said, "Get some sleep honey. I'll be with you later." He then began to walk out of the room until I set myself up and said, "Gabe, please stay. I want to cuddle." Gabe then looked back at me and smiled as he then close the door and got under the covers with me. "Thanks, Gabe." I said is he then replied, "Claro, mi amor. Portia acurrucarme contigo por dias." "Gabe, could you please say it in English?" I asked sarcastically. "Oh sure, honey. I said, "sure thing, my love. I could cuddle with you for days."" He translated. "Awww! Right back at you, dork." I replied as his hand went back to rubbing my baby bump. "One of these days I'll have to teach you some Spanish. You and our child both." He said is I replied, "I will hold you to that. I love you, Gabe." "I love you too, Clem." He said as before we know it, we were both sound asleep in each others arms. Just the way I love it.
