Presently propped up against the pillows that were on her side of the bed she shared with Bri, Blo rested both hands on her belly, which was now slightly rounded due to the child contained within her body. At sixteen weeks pregnant, she was beginning to feel the strain that her unborn son was putting on her body.
Frequent trips to the bathroom and dealing with the extra weight she'd gained over the past sixteen weeks were just two of the many issues that her pregnancy was currently causing her. Just at that moment, Bri entered their bedroom and took a seat next to her on the bed before his gaze went to her.
"How are you feeling, Blo?" he asked gently.
"Aside from occasional heartburn and constant trips to the bathroom, I'm doing just peachy, Bri!" she snapped.
He blinked, briefly taken aback by the anger in her tone of voice and his gaze went to her slightly rounded belly. Blo gasped at that moment, because she'd just felt her unborn son shift inside of her. Her gasp caused Bri to look in her direction.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing's wrong. I just felt the baby move," Blo replied.
He moved position on the bed so he could sit closer to her and lightly placed his right hand on her four month belly. Several seconds passed and when nothing happened, Bri slowly removed his hand from his wife's slightly round stomach.
Blo noticed the look of disappointment that washed across her husband's facial features and she took his right hand in hers while she pressed down gently on an area of her belly and she quickly placed his hand on the area she'd just pushed against.
The moment Bri's hand had been placed over the area that Blo had just pressed on, he felt the firm jab against his palm. His gaze went to her at feeling their son's first kick.
"So, that's what a baby's kick feels like?"
Blo only nodded.
