Chapter 10: Stay Calm And Relax!
The eighth month arrived with Ash having limited mobility because of the strain on his back and hips from the baby.
Ashley was taking care of him and helped him with walking because he couldn't walk without being in pain.
He was thankful for her being there because there were times when he passed out from the pain while standing and she caught him so that he wouldn't hurt the baby.
She has been trying to keep him on the bed as to not cause any problems that might send him into pre-mature labor and cause problems with the baby and/or himself, but she knew that it would be a tough battle with him.
(A Couple Of Days Later)
Ash had decided to do something while Ashley was taking a nap.
He got up and went to the kitchen to fix something to eat with hands on his back as to help ease the pain.
He got something to eat and walked around his house until he felt pain increase in his back from the strain.
He stopped and leaned against a wall as to relieve the pain, but it wouldn't stop.
He let out a yell as he fell to the ground and passed out from the intensity of the pain.
Ashley woke up when she heard him yell in pain and got up. She found him lying on the ground with his arms wrapped around his stomach.
"Ash! Ash, wake up! Come on! Stay with me!" said Ashley, panicking about not watching him.
The raven-haired man's eyes fluttered open after hearing her voice.
"A-Ashley?" said Ash, stirring before wincing in pain.
"Ash, what's wrong?" said Ashley, helping him to his feet and holding him up.
"My back. It hurts!" said Ash, gasping in pain.
"Hold on. Let me help you back to your bed and then, I'll call Daughter." said Ashley, helping him back to the room.
He nodded before wincing in pain as he laid on his back.
The blue-eyed girl called Daughter about him and she came over quickly with Brock in tow.
"I just wish that I knew why he moved off the bed. It's all my fault." said Ashley, worried about her friend.
"Don't say that. All of us knows that he's stubborn and that you can't stop him from doing something." said Brock, comforting her.
"Thanks." said Ashley, smiling as they looked towards the pregnant man's room.
(With Ash And Daughter)
She had been working with him about controlling the pain for her to identify what caused it.
She felt his spine and nothing felt broken or out of place.
She checked him over to see if there was any pain in his stomach and he said that there was some.
She did an ultrasound to make sure that the baby was alright, which it was, and she figured out that it might be false labor pains.
"Ash, when did this start happening?" asked Daughter, curiously.
"It started a couple of days ago and has been happening since, but not as bad as it is today." replied Ash, wincing as the pain shot through him again.
This made the brunette figure out what was wrong with him.
"Ash, it looks like you're going through false labor pains. It helps you get ready to give birth next month." said Daughter, explaining what false labor pains were to her friend.
"Ok, but are they suppose to hurt like heck?" asked Ash, wincing again and placing a hand on his big stomach.
She placed a hand on his stomach and felt the baby move around inside him and smiled.
"It looks like your baby is just moving around. That might be why the pain is worst than before." replied Daughter, smiling as he felt his little one move inside him.
"Wow. This is amazing. I wonder what my baby will look like." said Ash, relaxing now that the pain was gone and starting to fall asleep.
The brunette just smiled before she left the room.
She looked at the worried faces on Ashley and Brock's faces and told them that he will be alright.
She explained to them what happened and they were relieved that he was ok.
"Now, it's just next month that we'll have to worry about." said Daughter as the three of them looked toward Ash's bedroom.
