My feet drag, body swaying. I lumber across the room, settling in your lap. You welcome the burden, but I can't quite meet your eyes, hiding behind lank hair, weighted by its recent growth.

Everything about me is gravid these days and I feel off-kilter. My world revolves around this burden I grow and I feel more feminine than ever, but less myself…

I know you see it. You brush the hair from my eyes, hefting it's thick mass, tipping my head back.

You kiss my belly.

She kicks.

You always know what we need. We feel weightless, untouchable.

Yours.

Did a little something different with this one - some first/second person POV. And why not? It's a special day - my second anniversary as a member of Tricky Raven! Woot! 2nd person for my 2nd anniversary!
