Hands pressed against the small of her back, BC stood in front of the bathroom sink as she studied her reflection in the mirror. Her now six month belly protruded out in front of her, which at this stage was the main reason behind why her back ached so often. Just then, Bu entered the bathroom and wrapped his arms around her while resting his chin on her shoulder.

"Only three months left to go," he said.

"I've got mixed feelings about that," she admitted.

"What? Why?"

"I look forward to witnessing Bailey's debut into this life. But the long process that leads up to that moment is what I'm dreading."

"How come?"

"Because experiencing labor contractions for hours on end just doesn't suit me."

"I see. But all women have to go through labor when the baby's ready to enter the world, babe. You do know that, right?"

"Of course I do. Doesn't mean I have to like it."

"Good point, honey."

She smiled lightly before she moved out of her husband's embrace in order to exit the bathroom. He followed his wife out into their bedroom while BC carefully lowered herself onto the matteress.

"I could have helped you do that, hon," he told her.

"I know you could have, but I managed to do it on my own."

Silence lingered between the expectant couple for a few moments.

"I've never quite understood why your dad's hated me and your in laws all these years," Bu said.

She glanced away from her husband.

"Ever since we were kids, he's always seen you and my two in laws as still being evil, despite evidence that proved otherwise," she replied.

"That explains why he was absent for our wedding day."

BC nodded.

"And why neither myself or my siblings have told him we're pregnant," she added, one hand resting on her stomach.
