A Different Way (Nate x Reader)

-8-

I yawn again, noticing Y/n talk to the girls about her pregnancy. The three were having a good time, and I hate to ruin it but I need sleep. "Y/n, I think its around time we leave, we have that lunch date." I remind her, seeing her face light up. She stands up, pulling me with her. I chuckle before following her. I wonder what has her so energized.
When we get to the car, I yawn again. "Darling, as much as I love you. We can't be doing what we're doing now. I know the baby has an effect on you like this but.. I can't keep up. I'm exhausted." I say gently. She sighs and nods. "I didn't realize.. I-I'm sorry" she apologized with a sniffle. I coo and kiss her. "It's alright darling, I don't blame you. If anything, I should step it up." I chuckle, making her giggle. "That's fair dear, Maybe we should skip the lunch. Go take a nap.." she suggested. I nod, kissing her again and drive us home. Yuna bounded to the door after our nap, making me raise an eyebrow. I stand up to see y/n not in bed. I rush out the door to our bedroom to see Y/n in the kitchen. "Oh, darling you scared me.." she laughs lightly, kissing me. "Sorry, you were out like a light."  I roll my eyes and walk to the door. "Did you order something?" She nods. "Yes, but I can't lift it." I nod, pulling the box inside. I notice it's a crib, making me smile. "Did some online shopping for our new addition did we?" She nods. I notice her blush when I stand back up, picking up the box and bringing it to the guest room. Y/n follows me, hand on her small baby bump. I smile at her, taking note of the room. "Maybe I should put some of these together... like the crib and the changing table.." She giggles at me and hugs me from behind. "I'm only four months, Nate. We have a great bit of time left." I nod. "Well yeah, but we find out the gender soon. We'll need to find the right paint for your choice of colored crib and changing table, love." She nods. "That's true."

Y/n's p.o.v
I chuckle at Nate putting together the crib. He didn't read the directions even though I told him to. I sit down and point at the directions. "Babe, it says you need to put A into A1" he groans and looks at the pieces. I giggle at him, tracing imaginary shapes on my bump when suddenly, a tap at my finger. I jump and gasp. Nate eyes me. "What happened? Are you ok?" I nod, grabbing his hand and setting it on my bump. The taps start at his hands. His eyes light up. "They're kicking! That's awesome!" I nod with a smile, feeling tears gather. Nate coos again and hugs me, placing a kiss on my head. "Well, do you think they're a boy or a girl?" I think, rubbing my bump. "Girl, definitely girl." Nate smirks and nods. "You think so? I think they're a boy" I bite my lip, shaking my head. "Mm-mm I beg to differ. But we'll find out in a few days." Nate nods, finishing the crib.

*time skip a day*
Dan's p.o.v
I yawn and stretch, standing from the bench I was sat on. Sienna eyes the ring on my finger. I was especially moody today, and it showed through my snap at her. "Got a problem, new blood?!" Sienna jumped, shaking her head. "N-no sir, just admiring your ring." I roll my eyes. "Sure you were.." I mumble, feeling her eyes drift toward my belly. I groan and roll my eyes, feeling insecure.

Phil rubs my back comfortingly. I look up at him and smile, feeling better with him there. I stand up with him and we walk up to the observation deck. "I had to get you out of that locker room, she bugs you, I know." I sigh and put my head on his shoulder. "I don't want to keep quiet much longer, it almost hurts to keep this from them." Phil nods and sighs. "I know bear, I know." I sit back up and look out the window, going on my laptop to go shopping while Phil goes to train the others. That Haley girl was here, with her boyfriend, Joey. ( not joey graceffa) Haley was very good, Joey was ok, could use some work. I sigh and mutter a little to myself. "Wonder if you two will let my mood swings die down for like, five minutes, that's all I ask." I hear a small gasp from Phil. "Dan, you're doing it again." I roll my eyes. "Whatever.." Phil pats my back. "So sassy" he muses, leaving to train again. Later on, an hour or so later I think. A few others all in the room, all talking about something that I wasn't paying attention to. I feel a small pain in my side and I curse silently. "Can you two not kick my sides? That'd be great." The room gets quiet. I curse again. I just outed my two children, to everyone in this room. Haley and Joey turned to me in shock. Mark, Sean, and Nate all fall silent. Y/n was at a cafe with her mother. I bite my lip and look at Phil. "Oops?" We say in unison. Haley squeals, "BABIES?!" She exclaims, startling Joey who spills his tea. "Whoa, Jesus, Hail.." I giggle nod. "Surprise?" The room claps, making me blush. "Don't make such a big deal, it's not like I'm going to be saying much about it anyway.." Phil chuckles and taps my arm. "Bear, your legs will cramp if you don't stand." I nod and stand up, my hoodie tightened then straightened. Haley gasps and jumps up and down. "Awww your bump is so cute!"  Oakley walks in and winks at me. "Congrats, boys. If you people don't mind, my girlfriend is feeling confident and wants to show you all a routine she's worked very hard on." We nod and head down the stairs. I wince, my back hurting. Phil turns to me and strokes it. Oakley chuckles. "You know what works for back pain? Raspberry tea." I chuckle and ruffle her long hair. "Thanks, girly gue" I joke, she taps my bump, knowing I'm fine with her doing it. She's the one that helped me find out.
Lilac bopped my nose as I walked past her. "Hello, Daniel The Mother" she teased, causing me to flip her off. "You're pregnant too, goofball." Sienna gasps from the rink. "You're a man, Dan!" I roll my eyes at her, sick of her attitude. "Oh bite me, bitch." Phil tsks at my language, we had been trying to cut back on swearing. So much for that. I'm moody and about to clobber a bitch if she says another word about my family.

A/n hey! This is by far the longest chapter I've written! Over 2000 words! See you all tomorrow! Hope you enjoyed this one!
