I looked at my ever growing belly in the bedroom mirror running my hands over it. Toby and I had my 30 week checkup today before I had to go to school. I felt like a wale whenever I see my belly; but Toby insists I'm still as beautiful as I was when we first noticed each other. I pulled me shirt down over my belly and walked out of the bathroom to the bedroom where Toby was sitting at the desk writing out check for bills. He looked up at me and smiled.
"You look beautiful." I made a face at him. It's hard to feel pretty with a beach ball stuffed under your shirts. "You do and don't you dare question it." I sighed accepting that Toby would always feel like I am still my size two athletic slef and not the huge pregnant woman I am.
'Thank you, but I still feel like I'm the size of a house." Toby laughed touching my belly.
"Spencer, other than your bump you are still the same size you were pre-pregnancy. And you just glow now. You have this beautiful glow about you." I smiled at Toby loving how he goes out of his way to make me feel better.
"But my breasts are huge now." Toby chuckled pulling me closer to him so he could kiss my belly.
"What kind of man would I be if I didn't let you know how much I dont care that your breasts have grown." I smiled, Toby had this way of always making me feel better no matter what the situation.
"Thank you, that made me feel a lot better." He smiled at me sweetly.
"I know." He said with a wink before playfully smacking my ass. "Now go to the truck, Spencer before your late for school. I'll be out in a minute." I laughed picking up my back pack waddling out to the truck getting in where I sat waiting for Toby. I almost dread school now. I liked school better before I got pregnant with Bently. I feel like my growing belly is a distraction not only to me to but everyone around me. I'm always getting asked about being pregnant and about Bently. I love Bently I do. But I'm sick of high school and I'm sick of being pregnant. But I only have a week and a half left and I'll be able to walk across the stage and get my diploma when Bently is two and a half weeks. Toby got into the truck.
"Spencer, I know your sick of school, and being pregnant." Toby started in his knowing concerned way, "But It's almost over and you know that." I sighed,
"Yeah, I know." He smiled at me.
"So don't worry. Stop stressing out, everything will be fine. We have enough money in the bank to pay all your hospital bills, were starting to have enough saved up to send you to school." I smiled, it's nice to see how hard Toby'd been working start to show. I was so proud of him. Just as proud as he is of me for sticking with school.
"I love you, and thank you." I told him genuinly." He laughed,
"Spencer. It's my job to make you feel better when things aren't going as planned. We're in love. That's what you do when your in love." I smiled at him knowing how true that to be. Toby started up the truck and started driving me to school. Toby had a day off at Yardley and Jason told him to take the day off. Which I was thankful for there was still so much left to do. But mostly Toby was over due for a nap.
School had been as uneventful as ever. I'm tired, sick of sitting on an excersise ball because I'm to big to fit into my desk. I'm sick of every girl asking me every question possible about getting pregnant, and Bently, and asking to feel my belly. My Braxton hicks have been worse this week to the point I'm loosing sleep. Bently's always moving around inside me keeping me awake. I am exhausted but I'm so close to being done that it would be stupid to quit now. Finally school was over and I walked outside to see Toby leaning against the truck dutifully.
"Hi there." I said pecking him on the lips.
"Hello there beautiful, would you allow myself to give you a ride home." I giggled loving the way Toby still flirts with me. It makes me feel beautiful and wanted, not just fat, ugly, and pregnant. I smiled at him flirtatiously.
"I would adore a ride home good sir." I flirted back alowing him to open the door for me help me, then shut it before going and getting in on his side of the truck. He turned the car on before reaching over and grabbing my hand. I smiled at Toby. I know that I'm not fat; and I know that my growing pregnancy belly is in really great proportion to my still thin body. It's just hard to remember that sometimes.
"Did you take a nap while I was at school?" I asked him looking over at his gorgeous face. He had cut his hair again, its a little shorter now, it makes him look like a dad. Toby says he doesn't want me to cut my long hair, cause I'll be a beautiful long haired mom.
"I did, now it's your turn when we get home." I wrinkled my nose at him,
"I have homework." Toby looked over at me with a worried look.
"Spencer." He said giving me a worried, critical look."I know you haven't been sleeping well at night with Bently moving around so much, but the less you sleep the less you sleep the worse the Braxton Hicks gets." I opened my mouth to deny his claims. "Don't deny it, Spencer." He said cutting me off, "You can do your homework after you take a nap. Promise you'll take a nap when we get home?" I smiled at his caring words.
"I promise." I told Toby smiling. I did feel tired, and I was glad I have him. He makes me take care of Bently and myself even when I'm being to driven to do it.
"Good, besides you being tired isn't good for you, and it especially isn't good for Bently. You're getting close enough now you could go into labor any time now. Remember, the doctor said your already a centimeter dialated yesterday." I nodded, "And you need to get enough sleep so you can have a safe delivery." I nodded knowing he was right.
"Thank you, Toby." I smiled at him, "Thank you for making sure I take care of me and Bently." He smiled leaning into kiss me as we pulled into my drive way then turned off the truck.
"Let's go in and get you to bed." I smiled at him letting him help me out of our truck and lead me into the barn. He carried my bag for me and help me into the bedroom. He sat me on the bed then went and got me a pair of leggings and a light weight white t-shirt. He helped me get dressed and lay down on our bed placing a bopy pillow under bently and laying a light weight throw blanket over me. He kissed me on the temple. I could feel my eye lids slipping shut and I found myself falling asleep thinking about how lucky I am to have Toby to take care of me.
