Somewhat continuation of Brotherly Moments because these accursed plot bunnies won't go away! Darn it!

Ch. 1 Cravings

Astrid gasped as she felt another kick to her abdomen. While she was happy to be carrying this child she did not like some aspects of the pregnancy.

Like the morning sickness.

But at least her husband was helping her as much as he could. When they found out the baby could hear them he began to read fairy tales to their unborn child. He was so enthusiastic; especially after finding out that it was going to be a girl.

"She is kicking again?" Ivan asked as he came in the sitting room where his wife was reading.

"Yes." Astrid commented as she rubbed her hand over her stomach. "She's really active today too. I'm afraid that she will be as bad as me when I was a teenager."

Ivan set down his suitcase and walked to her. Crouching by her round stomach he kissed it then whispered "Пожалуйста, успокойтесь маленькой принцессы."

Astrid smiled as the baby listened and settled down.

"She's going to be a daddy's girl; I can feel it."

Ivan just laughed and kissed her. "I am going to start dinner. Do you want something in particular?"

Astrid blinked then said "Smoked salmon with a maple and curry glaze, a tossed fruit salad seasoned with Tabasco and hot coke to drink."

"You know, I think that's the most normal thing that you have asked for in the last few days."

Astrid glared at him.

"What? Pickles and ice cream at two in the morning was rather…odd."

Translation

Please calm down little princess- Пожалуйста, успокойтесь маленькой принцессы.
