It had been a crazy few months. The holiday season went flying by and was now February 1st. Marianne was two and half weeks from her due date. Marianne felt it as well. She started feeling uncomfortable and definitely the size of a bus. Christopher had been so sweet to her. He always made sure that he made her feel loved and wanted by him. She never doubted it. Marianne's longing for her husband continued for most of her pregnancy, even though they had to take it easy for a bit. Marianne had a discussion with him that after the baby comes it may be awhile before they could be intimate again. Christopher was so understanding. He assured her it would be fine. They were bringing a baby into the world together. That is going to bond them forever.

Christopher was heading home. He had to take a quick business trip that was going to be two days. He managed to get everything by late afternoon the first day. He only was gone for one night. Even though Marianne insisted she would be fine, Christopher was not leaving her by herself. Anne and Margaret offered to spend the night. Anne didn't want to disrupt Marianne from her routine by having her pack her things and stay somewhere else.

It was close to 9pm when Christopher walked in the door. Margaret was in the sitting room watching the telly as Anne was coming out of the kitchen. "Christopher you are home early. Did everything go all right?" Anne asked as Christopher put his bag down and took of his coat. "Yes, got it all settled early." He explained. He saw no sign of Marianne. "Is she asleep?" Christopher asked. Anne smiled. "Yes, she was tired. She is feeling good today. We just spent the day at home and went for a walk. We also managed to put the highchair together." Anne explained. Christopher smiled. "Good, I am glad everything went well. Thank you for staying with her." He stated. "Oh don't thank us. She is my daughter working hard taking care of my grandchild. It wouldn't be right to disrupt her now and make her leave her home." Anne explained. Christopher smiled. "Well, since you are home. Margaret and I can pack up and head home so you two can relax." Anne said as she was going to tell Margaret. "Oh no, I don't want you two to leave at this time of night. Please spend the night like planned. Tomorrow is Saturday so we can all have breakfast together since we don't have to go to work." He explained to Anne.

Christopher tried to be as quiet as possible opening their bedroom door. He tip toed in and closed the door behind him. He smiled when he saw her. She just had the covers up to her hips with her round belly bare because she still insisted on wearing her favorite sleep shirt to bed even though it didn't really fit around her belly anymore. He got undressed and climbed in. She was lying facing his side of the bed. He laid down on his side just watching her sleep. He had never seen a more beautiful sight and more beautiful woman. He felt a sense of pride as he looked down at her belly. Knowing the life inside her was impart his making. He could not hold back, he had to touch her. He reached over and placed his palm on her bare belly. He smiled as he felt the baby kick and move. Almost knowing that his or her father was home. Marianne stirred at the kicking in her belly. She smiled a bit as she was coming out of her sleep. It then registered that she felt a warm hand on her belly. She opened her eyes and was greeted with a wonderful surprise. She lifted her head up, "Christopher! What are you doing here." She said with a beaming smile. He smiled back. "I live here with you darling." He said with a boyish smirk. "Oh, you know what I mean." She said laughing. "I was able to finish my business early and came straight home. Your mother and Margaret are still spending the night. I thought it too late for them to go home. I just wanted to get home to the two of you." He declared still caressing her belly. Marianne smiled and leaned towards him to share a kiss. She pulled away and smiled. "We missed you too. I am so glad you are home." He leaned down to her and kissed her again. The passion started to build up a bit. Christopher pulled away when he felt her hand reach inside his underwear. "Oh Marianne. It is too far along." He explained. She moaned. "Its alright darling. I missed you and want you so much. I will be fine. We will just be gentle." She explained. She began placing kisses on his neck as his hands made their way under her tshirt. It was a lost battle. He was not going to be able to resist his beautiful wife. They gently made love and expressed how much they missed each other. They also kept in mind they were not alone in the house and made sure to keep their moans of pleasure low. After their shared passion they slept snuggled up together for the rest of the evening.

The last part of her pregnancy seemed to go by fast. Even though Marianne was getting a little more uncomfortable. Before they knew it was February 18th, her due date. Christopher was shocked on how Marianne got up to go to work. She explained that her due date was not written in stone. Especially for it being her first baby. First babies were usually late. While at work everyone doted on Marianne. She explained she was fully capable since she was not doing strenuous activity. However, Marianne was noticing she almost needed help getting up from her desk. The week before the office threw them a lovely baby shower. They felt so blessed to have such wonderful co workers and friends.

The 18th came and went and so did the rest of the week. Christopher's birthday was on the 21st and he spoke to her belly asking the baby if they would like to be born that day as a present to him. Marianne just giggled at him. Marianne was starting to become impatient as well. Her bag was packed and kept by the door. The car seat was in the car, a list was made of people to contact first and Marianne had packed two outfits for the baby to come home in. One if it was a boy and one if it was a girl.

Marianne went to the doctor for her weekly check. She assured Marianne that she didn't not have any signs of going into labor yet but it could happen any moment. She stated to give it another few days. If nothing happened they would talk about inducing labor. Marianne did not want that at all.

Marianne was at home that Saturday on the 24th of February. It was late morning when they got home. Marianne was researching on her ipad of ways to induce labor naturally. She and Christopher were starting to grow tired of the phone calls asking if the baby was there yet. She came across spicy foods, exercise, massaging areas of the feet, going for a walk, eating bananas, chocolate, etc. She certainly was up to eating chocolate. She kept reading and one section caught her eye. There was a section on how orgasam and sex can cause labor. "I will keep that in mind as well." Marianne thought to herself. She grinned at Christopher who was on his laptop finishing up some work. He had been trying to get ahead in his work so it would be easier to take time off after the baby came.

Marianne put down her ipad and got up to use the loo. She came back and headed for the kitchen. Christopher was about to get up to get her what she wanted. She assured him that she is fine and could do it. She smiled to herself. He was such a mother hen. She loved him dearly for it too. She was pouring herself some juice. She stuck the container back in the fridge and was about to head back into the living room. She took a step to grab her drink when she suddenly felt a gush of fluid run down her leg. She briefly panicked for a split second but then sighed in relief. "Finally", she thought to herself. She waddled over towards her husband. She didn't want to panick him. "How's it going?" She asked him in a calm voice. "Oh it's fine. Just finished up the schedule for certain things. I just emailed it to some of the managers." He explained as he began closing some of his programs he had going. "Well that is good. I am glad you are finished. I think we should head to the hospital now." She said to him. He almost jumped up. "Are you having contractions darling?" He asked as he placed his hands on her belly. She reached up and caressed his cheek. "Not yet, but my water broke. The baby finally wants to make an appearance." She said smiling.

Christopher was moving around at the speed of light. He loaded Marianne in the car with her bag. He tried his best not to drive too fast. He started getting irritated when they hit a bit of traffic. Marianne was beginning to feel contractions. He reached over and grabbed her hand to comfort her. When it ended Marianne grabbed her phone and just sent out a mass text message to the family and close friends stating that they were heading to the hospital.

They arrived and they quickly brought and put a gown on Marianne. Christopher was by her side during her contractions. After it ended, she was panting and trying to catch her breath. She looked at him and smiled. "This is not that much fun but I can't wait to meet our baby. I feel like I have been pregnant for two years." She admitted. Christopher laughed. "I know darling. I can't wait either.
