Thank you for reviewing
6 months
Your baby will now be around a foot long, and the size of an ear of corn. They weigh around 1.3 pounds and will be gaining more every week. At 24 weeks into your pregnancy, your baby would be considered viable and with a chance of survival if they were born prematurely
Monica and I have been at our summer house for a week now. It's so nice and quiet here. There's no spokes people from magazines, no fans that want pictures and autographs and no paparazzi. I wish we could be here all time. But I can't just leave London. And it takes 7 hours and 40 minutes to get here. That's not something we want to do all the time.
We asked Mon's Dr. If coming here would be safe for her. Luckily for us, there wasn't a problem with it. As long as she's not in her third trimester. This will be our only trip here until our little girl is here.
There's been days when Monica's friend Rachel stops by, Ross and her parents. She likes being able to see them so often.
I wake up, the morning light coming through the windows that are in the house. Monica's body is against mine, her back against me and my hand on her stomach. This is how we've been sleeping lately. She said the baby loves to be active at night and sleeping like this helps her to sleep better. And of course, I will never complain about sleeping so close to my girlfriend all night. Especially when she wakes up early in the morning and wants sex. I never turn that down. Pregnancy has brought it out in her. I'm not complaining one bit about it.
I'm glad that I can feel our baby kick now. It seemed to take so long for that to happen. Monica could feel it way before me. It was a month ago when it happened. We were having a ball for my mother's birthday just like we've done every year for as long as I can remember. There was a slow song on and she said she could feel the kicks stronger than normal. And when I had felt her stomach, I could actually feel it. It was such a happy moment. She said she didn't mind but my hand rarely left her stomach for the rest of the night. In hopes that it would happen again.
Monica is sleeping so peacefully. We already had sex twice this morning and it's only 8. Still, I am hoping that when she wakes up, she'll want to do it again.
"Morning." I whisper when she starts to wake up.
She rolls over so she is facing me. "Good morning. So I was thinking, we could have breakfast and then spend the morning in the pool. What do you say?"
We have been fortunate enough to have fantastic weather the whole time that we've been here. We have been able to get into the pool just about every single day.
I kiss her forehead. "Yes. I will order some breakfast." I feel bad, I want nothing more than to cook my girlfriend breakfast but I don't know how. I have always had a chef to cook for me. I don't even think my mother knows how to cook a single meal.
She takes my phone from me and sets it down. "Let me teach you how to cook."
I groan. "But I was trying to be romantic. Do the whole breakfast in bed thing. I can't do that if you cook."
She sits up on her elbow and puts her hand on the back of my neck. "I will teach you this morning and you can make it for me a different morning. How does that sound?"
I nod even though I want to serve her breakfast in bed this morning. "Ok fine."
We get out of bed and I put my pajama pants on. Since we had sex a few times this morning we didn't see any point in putting clothes on. Monica puts her robe on and we walk into the kitchen together.
"Since this is your first lesson, we can start with something easy. Eggs and toast."
"Sounds easy enough."
She shows me how to crack the eggs, mix them into a bowl and put them in a hot skillet. Then we get a spatula and she shows me how to cook them and she shows me how to tell when they're done. She also showed me the toast. This whole process, didn't seem so hard.
"Do you think you got it?"
"Yeah Mon, I do." I take the skillet off the burner and put the eggs evenly out on two plates, along with toast that has strawberry jelly and butter on them. "I can't believe it." I say with a smile. "I actually cooked something."
She rubs my back and kisses my cheek. "Good job honey."
We sit down on the couch to eat when Rachel walks into the room.
"Hey guys sorry for just coming in. I hope I'm not interrupting anything but Monica I really need to talk to you right now. It can't wait."
Monica looks over at me apologetically.
"Uh yeah I'll just go into the other room." I give her a kiss and walk into the kitchen. I eat my breakfast on the kitchen counter. I try and listen in on their conversation but Rachel is whispering so I can't hear a thing.
They are in there talking for a while.
After about an hour, Monica finds me in our bedroom.
"Sorry about that baby."
"Care to share?"
She unties her robe and grabs her bathing suit. That's right, we did plan on swimming today. Her pregnant body is the most beautiful thing.
"Well Rachel and Ross ended up sleeping together on Valentine's Day. They both didn't have dates so they decided to just spend it together. And now she's two months pregnant. She just found out this morning. She wanted to tell me first."
"Oh wow. How do you feel about your best friend and brother having a baby?"
She shrugs. "It makes me happy. Even though I only have 3 months left and we live in different countries, it will be nice to be pregnant together."
"I'm glad baby." I have felt bad for her. She's only 18 and none of her friends are going through the same thing as her. Their biggest concerns are what their paper is going to be about or do I have a date this Friday night? At least now, she has Rachel.
"Swim now?" I nod and her robe falls to the floor and she puts her bathing suit on.
I get my swimming trunks from the dresser and put them on.
I am beyond turned on right now. I put my hands on her butt and bring her close to me. "Ever have sex in a pool before?"
She giggles. "No but I'll try it with you."
That's good enough for me.
