I am sitting at the kitchen counter and watch Mya waddle around the house while i try to read a script i was sent... She is 32 weeks pregnant... She is in full on nesting mode... Today she is uncomfortable... She cant seem to settle and just started cleaning again... She has mostly good days but today is not one of those days... Most of the times i could distract her and make her feel good... Because she is in a horny stage... God she is horny all the time... The more i think about it the more i realize that she has been in the horny stage the whole pregnancy... I am not complaining but damn it was worse than i thought... She is beautiful though... Her belly sticking out, the way she rubs it all day without realizing it... That little pregnancy waddle... The way she sits down and stands up... It is all adorable... I go back to reading with a little smile on my face as i know saying anything right now will only piss her off... She is having an off day and somehow that means that everything i do is no good... So, i just leave her alone so to not ad to her discomfort.
After our little trip in New York, you just could see her belly grow every day... It just went so fast all of a sudden... Our little nugget was doing great, happy and healthy in mommy's belly. The New York trip was fun... We had dinner with Scarlet, went shopping for our little nugget and she had a nice spa day while i had another meeting. She came back from the spa day with this lazy satisfied smile only to fall asleep in my arms... I took her out on a fancy date in a fancy restaurant... She looked gorgeous... She had this big smile when the food was brought out doing a little happy dance in her seat... We had 2 lazy days in the hotel suite as she was tired after 4 busy days... It was just amazing... Cuddled up in bed, talking baby names. Not that Mya could make up her mind... Every day she would come with new names... The list got longer and longer but i dont care... We would figure it out...
"Ugh... Seriously..." Mya groans and i look up from my script... Mya tries to get up from the couch where she had just sat down after cleaning the living room. "Need help?" I ask and she gives me a death stare... "No... I can get up myself..." She grumbles and i watch her get up and waddle off... I let out a soft chuckle, continue reading and shake my head...
"I heard that!" She yells and i look up again with wide eyes... How in the hell did she hear that... 5 minutes later she walks back in but instead of sitting down again, she walks over to me standing in front of me and i lower my script looking at her... "Chris! Tell our daughter to stop using my bladder as a punching bag." She says and i give her a small smile... I sigh and pull her between my legs throwing my script to the side... I lift her shirt and kiss her belly... "Hello little nugget... Dad here... Can you please stop using your mom's bladder as a punching bag..." I say and kiss her belly only to be met with a kick... "Great... She is already not listening..." Mya mumbles and i sigh...
"Is there anything i can do to make you comfortable?" I ask and she pouts and shakes her head... "Nothing...?" I say smirking and winking at her, and she sighs and shakes her head... "No..." She pouts and sighs again... "I am not in the mood for bedroom activities..." She mumbles and i pull her into a hug. "I am sorry baby... I wish there was something i could do..." I mumble and she hugs me back and then i hear a soft sob... That sob quickly turns louder and before i know it she is full on crying...
"Oh baby... Shhhh... I am sorry... Please tell me what i can do to help..." I whisper and she holds onto me... "There is nothing you can dooooo..." She cries and i sigh feeling helpless. "I just feel ugh today... My belly is itchy... It is driving me crazy... Our nugget is not letting me sleep and i am just so tired but can't get comfortable..." Mya sobs and i sigh...
"Okay... Well, what do you say if we go take a nap... I am going to put the moisturizer on your belly to help with the itchiness and i will rub your feet until you are asleep..." I say as we pull out of our embrace... "It is no use..." Mya says her face all red and puffy from crying...
"You never know until you try..." I say earning myself the death stare and it takes everything in me to not laugh as she just looks adorable...I dont care that she is taking her discomfort out on me... She is doing all the heavy lifting, literally... So, the least i can do is take it when she needs to let it out... It is not like she is like this every day... Most of the days she is this ray of sunshine... I stand up taking her hand and i want to lead her to the bedroom... But she stops me... "Can i take a nap on the couch... I am more comfortable on the couch..." She whispers and i smile and kiss her temple... "Anywhere you want..." I say and kiss her... "Can you get the duvet of the bed... and my pillows..." She whispers and i smile walk her to the couch and sit her down... "You wait here, and I'll go everything..." I say and she nods... "It is not like i can run off..." She mumbles and i can't help but chuckle... "My little hostage..." I whisper before kissing her...
I go upstairs get her moisturizer, some massage oil for her feet, her pillows, our duvet and snatch the book she had been reading along to... When i come back down i smile as Steve and Bucky are cuddled up to her their heads on her belly... I smile as Bucky nudges her belly because our little nugget is kicking... Mya giggles and i smile... If i can't cheer her up the dogs can... The belly is a thing of wonder to them and i swear they know that there is a baby in there...
"Okay boys..." I say gently shooing them of the couch and the huff at me but lay down in their spots... I get her comfortable and she looks at me and smiles a little... I sit down beside her and lift my shirt that she is wearing... Lately she is constantly wearing my sweats and shirts saying that they are more comfortable than any maternity clothes she bought...
"I am sorry..." She mumbles as i put some of her moisturizer in my hand warming it up... "For what baby?" I ask her surprised and she sighs... "For being a grumpy mess..." She mumbles looking a little sad and i smile as i start to rub the moisturizer on her belly... "That is okay baby... You can be as grumpy as you want... But you are not a mess... You are just tired and uncomfortable..." I say and she settles in letting out a soft moan as i rub her belly...
I can feel our nugget kick as i move my hands in circles and Mya groans... "What do you think about the name Willow..." Mya asks out of the blue and i smile... "Willow?" I ask and she nods... "Or Ivy..." She says and lets out a sigh... "I like it... Very earthy..." I say and she sighs... "Earthy?" She asks and i nod... "But we are more sky people... We love the stars..." Mya mumbles and i smile...
"That is why Star is also on the list..." I say and she sighs... "Sounds like a stripper..." She mumbles and i look at her stunned... "It does not..." I say and she sighs... I am done with her belly and lower her shirt and tuck her in... I move and take her feet in my lap... I pull of one of her fluffy socks and grab the oil and start massaging her foot... I smirk as Mya groans... "Oh... God... Feels so good..." She mumbles...
"Okay so Star can be crossed of the list... But what about Aster... Or Vesper..." I say and Mya sighs... "I just dont know... With Oliver i had a few names in my mind but i named him when i saw him..." Mya sighs... "He just looked like an Oliver..." She says and i smile... "I just think with the boys being named Oliver and Kevin it would not sound right... Oliver, Kevin and Vesper... It does not sound right... Besides it is something out of some James Bond movie..." She sighs and i chuckle... "Okay so no Vesper and no Astra either..." I say and she sighs... "But you love those..." She mumbles and i sigh... "We have both have to love the name baby..." I say and she hums... "Do you like the name Oliver?" She asks and i chuckle... "I love the name Oliver... I would like to think i would have picked that to..." I say and she smiles... It is not a lie though... I love the name Oliver...
"I have another one i like..." I say a little unsure... She opens her eyes and looks at me... "Tell me?" She says and i blush... "Iris... It means Rainbow... You know for our Rainbow baby..." I whisper... But immediately regret saying that last part as Mya starts to cry... "Oh i am sorry baby..." I say and move to comfort her... "It is okay... It is just we dont even know if it would be a boy or a girl... We didn't get to name him or her..." She says sobbing in my arms and i pull her tighter...
"I know baby... I know..." I sigh holding her comforting her... "What if we name him or her Star... Seeing as she is our little Star in heaven..." I say and she starts to sob even harder... "Okay we can name him or her something else..." I say and she shakes her head... "It is perfect..."She whispers and i grin... "Even if it is a stripper name?" I ask and she nudges me... "Oh shut up..." She mumbles and i grin even more... "From now on that little one is named Star..." She whispers and i smile and kiss her...
"I like Iris for our little nugget though..." She mumbles into the kiss and i pull back... "You do?" I ask and she nods... I kiss her again and she smiles into the kiss... "I really like it..." She whispers and i smile...
I go back to massaging her feet and legs and she lets out a little sigh and closes her eyes, relaxing back in the pillows again... "Seriously... Whenever this acting thing doesn't work out i will hire you as my private masseur..." She mumbles and i grin... "Deal..." I say and she giggles...
We settle into a comfortable silence and after a while i look at Mya and see she is finally asleep... I pull out my phone and text ma if she can pick up Oliver and Kevin from school as i dont want to leave Mya when she is having an off day... Ma is happy to and after texting back and forth for a bid she says she will swing by the store to pick up some things and make us dinner...
With her feet in my lap i lean back and close my own eyes... Just a little rest... Just closing my eyes for a second... I tell myself but soon i am asleep to...
