Paul chuckled. "Ray!" He berated playfully.
Rachel giggled and blinked innocently. He called her Ray not Rachel, therefore he wasn't really angry - it was just playful. "Hmm?" She smiled playfully.
Paul fought the smile forming on his lips and shook his head. "You are incorrigible!"
Rachel laughed loudly. "I am no such thing!" Her dark brown eyes glittered happily.
Paul nodded.
"I have to agree." Jared cut in with a smile.
Kim giggled quietly.
Rachel blinked innocently and held her hands up. "What?" She pointed in the direction the embarrassed waitress had scurried off too. "She was the one ogling the guys. I was simply helping her out."
Kim snorted. "By saying 'would you just ask my boyfriend out already and get the rejection over with so I can eat in peace'. That is wrong!"
Rachel grinned. Her mocha eyes sparkled as she stared at Paul. Her Paul. "You love me."
Paul smiled and took a pull from his beer. "I've told you many times. You can crash my party anytime."
Kim swooned. "Why don't you ever say things like that to me?" She turned on her wolf-boyfriend.
Jared's eyes widened as he stuttered out trying to answer her.
Paul and Rachel laughed, leaving their mutual friend stranded.
"Uncool!" Jared exclaimed while turning to Paul. "Why the hell you'd have to say something like that?"
Paul shrugged while staring at his imprint. "It's just a little thing between us."
Rachel smiled affectionately.
Paul grinned and winked at the love of his life. "Anytime baby. Anytime."
"Shut up!" Jared murmured while Kim giggled.
. . .
Rachel groaned and rolled back and forth on the bed. She glanced up at the calendar on the wall by her computer table. The box - April 26 - was colored in a dark deep red.
Well shit.
Rachel heaved a deep sigh and wrapped her arms around her stomach while wiggling down under the blankets.
Today was going to suck.
Royally suck!
She groaned loudly and reached for her phone on the bedside table.
'Hey Mommy,
I freaking started. :(
Can you bring me sum
Midol when you come
home?'
*Send
Rachel applied pressure to her stomach as the cramps intensified.
Buzz. Buzz.
'Yeah . . . Babe.
I've said you can call
me daddy anytime but
I draw the line at
Mommy.'
Rachel's eyes widened. She blinked a couple times and read the name at the top. She groaned while rolling her eyes. Stupid! She had forgotten to switch names in her hast for pain relief.
'Srry bay!'
*Send
Buzz. Buzz.
'Dnt worry. I'll be ovr
in a few. Havnt made
it to the guys yet.
Midol. Tams? Choc?
Sweets n Gen?
Movies?'
The smile that split her lips numbed the pain, even the memory of the pain that still coiled in her stomach was gone.
'Bay...Arnt you with the
guys? Isn't the game on?'
*Send
Rachel giggled. He was too sweet at times.
Buzz. Buzz.
'Crash my party anytime'
Her insides melted into pools of love and sweets.
'Ur gonna go buy me
tampons?'
*Send
Rachel giggled. Sometimes he was sweeter than teeth-rotting candy.
Buzz. Buzz.
'Yep. Anytime baby.
Anytime.'
Rachel snuggled into her covers.
'I love you.'
*Send
Buzz, Buzz,
'Love You 2. Be
there soon.'
Rachel closed her eyes and yawned slowly. This time always made her sleepy.
Around thirty minutes later, Rachel heaved a small sigh and pushed her face against the warm that covered her cheek. A small sleepy smile covered her plump lips. That was her favorite heat. It was just the perfect temperature. So overly warm it was almost overbearing, but God! it was so good.
"Baby?" A deep voice whispered into the soothing atmosphere.
Rachel hummed in question and blinked slowly. "Pau- . . ." The beginning of his name fell from her lips in a soft sigh.
Paul smiled lovingly and kneeled down beside her bed. "Hey baby?" He wiggled a small white bottle with a blue label back and forth. "I got you a cranberry-grape Minute Maid too."
She blinked, trying to wake up. It was really hard thought. The heat emanating from the hand touching her cheek was perfect. "You're the best."
Paul chuckled. "Come on baby. Take your medication."
Rachel giggled and let him pull her into a sitting position so she could take the medication without choking.
"I got your favorite movies." Paul murmured sweetly. "Labyrinth, One Knight with the King, and Pride and Prejudice."
"My kinda guy." Rachel whispered. She cringed and began to curl in on herself. Her hands pushed against her lower stomach as a soft whimper fell from her lips.
Paul's shoulders thickened as the muscles tightened. Worry colored his deep brown eyes. "Baby?"
Rachel shook her head. "Just a cramp." Her body relaxed and she eased up, unfurling her body.
Paul purred softly and squeezed her hand. "What can I do?"
And there it was. The reason she loved him. Rachel had learned a long time ago - even though there was this supernatural pull - Paul didn't offer help unless he wanted to.
"Can We watch the movie up here?" Her voice was soft as another intense wave of pain coiled in her stomach.
Paul nodded and pulled one of the movies from the bags he had brought up stairs. "I got the tampons that look like the ones in the bottom cabinet in my bathroom."
Rachel giggled. "I figured you'd remember which one I used, considering I have them there too."
Paul grabbed the DVD remote and moved back toward the bed. "I remember everything I've learned about you."
"You can be so sweet at times." Rachel melted.
Paul chuckled. "At times?"
She nodded. Her lips pursed, brows furrowing as another pain sliced through her stomach.
"Baby? I asked talked to Sam." Paul started.
"About?" Rachel questioned as she let out a breath.
"How he helps Emily." Paul continued. "He says they lay together and he keeps his hands on her stomach while applying pressure." He liked his lips and sat on the edge of the bed, it dipped. "Would that work?"
Rachel groaned at the thought. "That most likely works. Pressure usually helps and I know heat does. But I've never really been able to try them both."
Paul nodded and pushed at Rachel to move over. Slowly he lowered his body onto the mattress. He rolled to his side and spooned her from behind. His right arm slithered over her side and her stomach. He pressed his fingers down onto the mattress and slid his hand between the mattress and Rachel's left side.
Rachel smiled and snuggled back against him.
Paul tightened his hold and pulled her closer. His forearm pressed against her lower stomach.
Rachel sighed at the heat and pressure resting against her stomach. "Thank you for coming."
Paul placed a chaste kiss on her neck and added more pressure.
Rachel smiled lovingly and drew light circles over Paul's forearm around her waist. "I love you."
He nestled closer and put his lips next her to sensitive ear. He swallowed quietly before singing. "You can crash my party anytime."
