[Month 7, November]
[2:37pm]
[Aaron's POV]
Aphmau and I were finally on maternity leave to have more time with the baby. I started preparing lunch for Aph and I. Aph and I had decided to invite Eric and Sylvanna to eat lunch with us. I opened the fridge to grab some chicken broth, I reached my hand out to get it until I heard some sniffling, I already knew what it was. Hormones.
I could tell it was coming from upstairs because no one else was in the house except Aph and I and the two puppers were asleep. I went upstairs to hope I could comfort Aph. "Aph are you okay?" I asked her sitting beside her. She was eating the remains of the Halloween candy we had past out. "Aph?" I asked, she didn't answer and bursted out in tears. She layed her head in my chest. My shirt had gotten wet quickly from all the tears. "What's wrong?" I asked as I took my hand and rubbed her back. "I'm a total mess!" She managed to get out. "What?" I said. "I'm a total mess! I'm fat and ugly and you'll leave me and this baby because I'm fat and ugly and I'll be fat and ugly forever! And-" she started to say and then she just started crying. I started to pat her back. "Shh... It's all going to be alright. Don't say such things like that Shu. You know I wouldn't leave you even if you were ugly for fat which your not. Inside your stomach is our little baby that we will love and cherish," I said to her in my most gentle voice possible. "You know what? It will be Thanksgiving in a week or so and then you can stuff your mouth with all that you want," I said trying to calm her down. "That would be nice," she finally said.
[Thanksgiving Dinner]
[Aphmau's POV]
It's was at last time to eat the delicious dinner that the Kawaii~Chan, Zane and Aaron and I had made. We made mash potatoes, some turkey of course, some corn, casserole, a huge pot pie, and desserts like pumpkin pie with icecream and cake! Everything had smeeled so good! We were just waiting for everyone to get here! My mom and Eric, Kawaii~Chan, Zane, Katelyn, and Travis were here already. We were missing Laurence, Lucinda, Melissa, Aaron's parents, and Garroth.
[25 minutes later]
All we needed were Melissa and Aaron's parents to get here. Suddenly the doorbell rung. It had to be Melissa and Aaron's parents! Aarona and I went over to the door and opened it, "I'm sorry it took us such a long time to get here, so much traffic," Melissa said. "Can we come in?" Rachael (Aaron's mom) said. "Yes of course," I said. "How are you doing?" Melissa asked me. "I'm doing fine. Only two more months then Aaron and I can finally meet our baby girl," I said as I gently rubbed my stomach. Melissa quickly hugged me and walked to her parents who were heading towards the table. I headed towards them following slowly behind and next to Aaron.
[Month 8, December Baby Shower]
[Aaron's POV]
It was the day of the baby shower and only one more month left till' Aph's due date. Aph and I decided that she would have the baby shower on a Sunday because the maid cafe was closed. Of course I had to cook like I always did.
[1:56, almost time for the baby shower]
I took the pink balloons out of the car and inside the house. "You can't have a baby shower without balloons, right?" I thought inside my head. Ever since Aph was in her 3rd trimester I had had dreams about little baby girl. I couldn't help but think about those dreams when I stared at those pink balloons, our little baby girl losing her first tooth, her werewolf ears finally coming in, her first birthday party, her first day of school. I soon snapped back to reality.
[9 hours later, in bed]
The baby shower was a blast, everybody had fun playing the games. Even my mom sort of enjoyed this. There was a lot of laughing and dancing. Aph and I were already in bed even though it was only about 10 o' clock. I guess we were just both tired from having so much fun. I scooted down to where Aph's stomach was and kissed it. I held it in my hands, "Aph, have you thought of a name yet?" I asked her. "No. I think I'll have to see her first before I name her. I want the perfect name for her, the perfect one. Have you thought of any names yet for her?" She said. "No. But I have a middle name for her," I said. "Well let's hear it," she said. "Lilith. I think her middle name should be Lilith," I said. That's a good middle name. Something Lilith Lycan. We just have to find a good first name for her now," she said. "Well, I guess you'll have to wait for a name when we see you," I said to Aph's stomach as I kissed it.
[Christmas morning]
"Merry Christmas," I said to Aph as I handed her a present. She quickly unwrapped it revealing a box, she quickly opened the box and it revealed a necklace that had "Aarmau", a combination of our names. "Maybe we should name our baby that, eh?" She joked, as she put the necklace around her neck. "No, absolutely no," I said. As I said that Celestia and Alexander started running towards us, it seemed like they had smelled something good. "Did you want a present? Did you?" I said to them rubbing their bellies with one hand and grabbing a present with the other. I placed the present in front of them. They could smell the treat I put in there, their faces showed it all. Aph and I giggled as they started to run around the present then try to open it.
