Jedediah was now 4 months pregnant, and now the bulge was visible to everyone. It was now night hours, and Jedediah was taking a walk in his and Octavius's garden.
Then a little boy pointed to Jedediah and asked his mother, "Mommy, why is that cowboy fat?" At this remark, Jedediah then cried very hard and ran back inside his and Octavius's house.
"What is wrong, mt love," Octavius asked when he came in.
"I'm fat," Jedediah replied.
"You just have a very healthy baby inside you, that's all," Octavius said, touching Jedediah's swollen belly.
Jedediah nodded and said, "Thanks, Octavius."
"You are welcome, my love," Octavius replied.


The nursery was looking wonderful. The walls are red. There was a gold crib and a wooden rocking chair. There was a rocking horse in the middle of the room. There was even a book shelf on one wall that has various fairy tales. Jedediah was currently in the rocking chair reading a fairy tale to his unborn child.
"Hello, my love," Octavius said as he walked into the room from another training session.
"Howdy," Jedediah replied, tipping his hat slightly.
"I see that you and our child are bonding," Octavius said.
"Yup. I was just reading to it right now," Jedediah replied, gesturing to the book. Octavius nodded and walked over to Jedediah. He then kissed him on the mouth.
"I love you," Octavius said.
"I love ya too, Octy," Jedediah replied. Octavius then put his hand on Jedediah's stomach again.
"Ya know that the baby won't start kicking until next month," Jedediah said with a chuckle in his voice.
"I know. But I just adore the fact that you are having our child," Octavius replied.
"5 more month until it's time for the baby to be born," Jedediah said.
"I know, and I can't wait," Octavius replied.
"I'm tired," Jedediah said, struggling to get out of the chair. When he did, he waddled to the bedroom. Octavius smiled to himself as he watched. As far as he's concerned, there is no wonder why he fell in love with the cowboy.
