Man have I been slacking off with my writing.
To make up for it here's chapter 3.
It was Friday morning and Dan slumped downstairs into the kitchen turned on the coffee maker and the lights, bathing the room in artificial light.
As the room lit up Dan jumped as he saw Runo slumped forward on the kitchen table.
''Jesus how long have you been sitting there''?
''Just since four, I've had to get up to pee like every three minutes so there really want much point in going back to sleep''.
''I didn't even here you get up ''.
''Well you sleep like you're dead so I'm not surprised''. Runo looked at her phone, the time said 7:15 '' Dan you need to get to work''.
''If I speed I'll get there on time'' Dan said planting a kiss on her forehead.
Runo followed him to the driveway.
''Have a good day sweetie and by the way I booked our first doctor's appointment so we can both go''.
''Awesome see you tonight'' Dan said pulling out.

Around 18:00 that night Dan practically skipped into the house, His boss had noticed his bad mood this morning and had let him go home early but warned him to be on top of his game on Monday.
Upon entering the house Dan noticed that it was much cleaner than it normally was.
Dan walked into the kitchen the top half of Runo was inside the oven whilst the other half was outside. ''I want it that way'' was playing on the radio.
''Tell me why I never want to hear you say…''
Dan unplugged the radio.
Runo removed herself from the oven.
''How long have you been standing there'' She asked.
''Long enough to know about your secret love of boy bands, should I be worried''? he smirked.
''You should because if Nick Carter came in here and asked to take me to the Caribbean I'd say yes''.
''He's in a boy band I'm sure I could kick his ass, how long have you been cleaning the house'' Dan asked.
''Since I shut up the restaurant for the night''.
''Well I hope you enjoyed it because that's the last housework you'll be doing for the next nine months''.
Runo raised an eyebrow.'' What's that supposed to mean''?
''Rune you can't be doing housework, we don't want to endanger the safety of our baby in anyway '' Dan said pulling her close.
Runo pushed him away.'' Excuse me Dan Kuso but the last time I checked I didn't need your permission to do things, who do you think you are''?!
''I'm your husband and I'm doing what's best for you''.
''No, you're doing what's best for you''.
''Oh yeah because I'm so self-absorbed'' Dan rolled his eyes.
''Forget this, make your own dinner seeing as I'm no longer allowed.''. Storming past him Runo ran up to their room and slammed the door.
Dan sighed and went to the TV. what did I just do?
He thought.

Hours later Runo came downstairs and took a seat on the couch next to Dan.
''Hey can we talk'' she asked.
''Sure''.
''Listen I know you were just trying to be helpful but you've got to understand that you made me feel invalid and for god sake Dan I'm not made of glass'' Runo said.
''I know'' Dan mumbled.
Runo smiled, at least she got a response out of him.
Dan took her hands in his. '' Its just that I worry about you, I don't want you to get hurt''.
''I'm sorry Rune I was being a real idiot''.
''At least we both know where this is coming from now huh''?
The two sat in silence for a while not sure where to go from here.
Smirking slightly Dan spoke;'' I guess we got our first taste of your mood swings. That was a big leap from the Backstreet Boys''.
''I actually broke the mirror in our room so we're going to have to get a new one'' Runo said.
''Fantastic''.
''Hey , just be glad I didn't take my golf clubs to your laptop''.
Oh how I love these two ;)
