hi guys, back from my break. Was so relaxing :) i have started with the second prompt i got from arjenka but this here just came to me all of the sudden so i published that first :D hope you like :)

FUTURE IV

'Ughhh... Why did we think this was a good idea again?'

'Stop complaining woman, there's no turning back now.'

'You're damn right there isn't... I can't even turn from one side to the other without you pushing me!'

'But it is very amusing watching you try on your own.'

Shanks shot a glare at Mihawk.

'GET YOUR LAZY ASS OVER HERE AND HELP ME.'

'You are doing great, just a bit more momentum and you can do it.'

'HAWKY, NOW!'

'Calm down, love, the stress isn't good for the baby.'

'DON'T FUCKING TELL ME TO CALM DOWN.' Then she started to sob. 'I just don't wanna feel like a stranded whale...' Mihawk took a deep breath. This was the second time this morning that his wife had unexplicably started to sob.

'It will be over soon, don't worry. Just two more months, love.' She threw a pillow at him. Mihawk took no action to avoid it, else she might throw something more fragile. He learned from his mistakes.

Also it calmed her down, what could only mean less damage to her surroundings.

'Two more months...please shot me...' She buried her face in the pillows.

'You know perfectly well that i don't posess any guns.'

'YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO COMFORT ME!'

'I am supposed to support you. So get yourself together and stop whining.'

'You're so mean...' Then she actually cried this time and that was a new one. 'I'm calling Benn to pick me up, he is nice, he listens and he doesn't gingerly sip his wine in front of me!'

Mihawk put his glass down just as he was about to take a mouthful. 'I admit that wasn't very sensitive.'

Shanks stopped crying. This really was a sincere apology and she would take it. Might be years before there would be another one. She tried to sit up so he could see her smiling at him but her belly was just too big and seemed to get in the way with whatever she tried to do. Which just had her crying again.

And despite how insensitive Mihawk could be, he always was true to his word. He was supporting her. He sat on the edge of the bed and helped her sit upright only to find Shanks turn it into a cuddle session.

'So what do you want me to do exactly, love?'

'Seriously?'

'Seriously.'

'When I'm complaining you will listen and acknowledge it is oh so hard, tell me that i am oh so brave for hanging in there and vow you couldn't take it if it was you.'

Minawk eyed her, puzzled. 'You want me to lie?'

Mihawk silently cursed when he fixed up his face. The nose was probably broken but the swelling on his temple would not stay for long. One thing was for sure, he wouldn't have to worry of Shanks not being able to defend herself, even in her current state.
