A sweet modern day 9-shot- 1 chapter for every month of Tuya's pregnacy with Moses. Maybe more as we exlore their lives with the new baby.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Month 1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This can't be..." Tuya thought aloud as she held the pregnancy test in her hand. How would she tell Ramses? How would she tell Seti?

*about a week later*

Pregnancy was beginning to have its effects on Tuya. She was getting sick in the morning often, and was more easily annoyed. She had even snapped at baby Ramses for spilling juice, which caused him to cry. She invited a friend over to talk while Seti was at work.

"I just don't know, Mary." said Tuya.

"I think the two boys will love this! Ramses will have a little sibling to play with!" said Mary, who was 5 months pregnant herself.

"I'm not sure how Seti will feel." Tuya had her head in her hands.

"You don't have to tell him right now, Tuya."

"Why don't you tell Ramses first?"

~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~

In the other room, almost 2 year old Ramses got up from his nap. He then heard his name in the kitchen, so he got up and walked to the balcony, rubbing his eyes. He looked down to see Mary and Tuya talking.

Ramses didn't quite understand why Mary's stomach was so big. All he knew was that his mother told him that there was a baby inside. He was still very confused as to how the baby got there. He began to listen to their conversation.

Tuya was very unaware that there was a new pair of ears listening to the conversation she was sharing with Mary.

"I just can't believe that there is a baby inside of me again."

Ramses didn't understand what his mother meant. He just went back to his nap.

"Tell Ramses first. I must be going now, I have an appointment."

Tuya sighed as Mary left, attempting to mentally prepare herself for telling Ramses.

Month 1 Ch. 2

a few hours later*

"Ramses?" Tuya called as she walked into his room.

"Mommy!" Ramses shouted as he put down his blocks and hugged his mother's legs.

"Have a seat, honey. We have to talk." She said, sitting on the bed.

She helped him up.

"You know Mary?"

"her tummy is biggerer!" Ramses joked.

"It's bigger, not biggerer," said Tuya. "And yes, it does. But soon, mommy's tummy will be that size, too."

Ramses looked confused. "Why, mommy?" Ramses didn't understand

"Mommy has a baby inside of her tummy now, as well," said Tuya.

"I don't get it mommy..."

"You came from my tummy, Ramses, just like Mary's baby. Soon, he will be out, just like you."

"I understand! The baby in Mary's tummy will come out, just like I did!" Ramses caught on a little bit.

"Yes, sweetie. And Mommy has a baby inside her tummy too. He/she will come out to be with us soon."

"...Can I see?" asked Ramses with big eyes.

Tuya lifted her shirt.

"I don't see the baby!"

"Not yet. He/she isn't big enough yet."

"Can the baby come out? I want to see the baby!"

"No, the baby isn't ready yet."
