Part 25

That morning a very sleepy Phil was sitting in a store signing things and posing for pictures, not the best advertisement for coffee, but he sure could use some more caffeine. With next to him a still very uncomfortable Jake.

Every time Phil looked at Jake, Jake blushed. Every time Phil yawned, and he did that a lot, Jake blushed. Every time Phil flexed his shoulders Jake blushed. Every time the ligature marks on Phil's wrist where visible Jake blushed. Every time Jake saw a lady looking at Phil yawning, Jake blushed. Every time Phil posed for a picture, Jake blushed. In other words, Jake was bright red for most of the day.

Going back to Seattle Phil decided that Jake could drive. He wanted to take a nap. And sure the corvette wasn't the best car to take a nap in. But it was about up there with a working crab boat in a sloppy sea.

So he settled back and closed his eyes. Only to notice that Jake had other ideas. Jake wanted to talk about what had happened the night before, and about what to expect once the baby was born.

He wanted to be around more for his kid than his dad had been for him and his brother. Only how to arrange that with his work? Even the birth was predicted to happen in the middle of king season.

Phil understood his predicament, but he was the last person to give advise. Not with his track record. So he went to sleep anyway. All the answer Jake got was a soft snoring. By the time Jake got home, Phil was feeling more rested and Jake was pouting. The plan was to drop Jake off and for Phil to go home, but he saw his pickup truck so that meant Lindsy was with Hilde so Phil came in also, much against Jake his desire.

Lindsy's day was a bit better. For starters she was able to sleep in sort of. Sure the waking up was a bit early but while Phil had to get out of bed to open the door for Jake to go to this promothingy, all she had to do was untie him and turnover to go back to sleep.

She did feel slightly guilty thou, for falling asleep with Phil still tied up.

So when she finally got out of bed Phil had already been on the road for two hours and signing things for a hour. She took a hot shower and let the hot water ease the sore muscle's that hadn't been used enough for a while.

After a substantial breakfast she went to the building site. But that wasn't a good idea. She was walking around with a dopy smile on her face remembering last night events. Sometimes even grinning to herself when she remembered Jake's reactions in the kitchen or Phil's moans later that night. As a result she was paying no attention to her surroundings. And when the project manager had asked the same question four times and not gotten an answer he decided to throw her off the site because she was a safety hazard. And she understood where he was coming from. So feeling slightly guilty, only very slightly, she went.

And with nothing else to do she went shopping. Phil owned her a new pair of sneakers.

The shoes where easy to find so that part of her shopping expedition was done in a little over 30 minutes. But going home to an empty house wasn't any fun, and she didn't expect Phil back until late in the evening. So she just wandered around in the mall. The first time she ever did that, and sure she got lost. But that was a big part of the fun of wandering around, as was the nice ice-cream stand she found. Or the bookstore. This time Phil would have had a reason to complain about her extended shopping expedition. Only he wasn't here, so he had nothing to complain about.

When she saw the adult entertainment shop her first impulse was to just keep going. But Phil had really liked the little roll play last night. And she had too, so why not?

It was her first time in a store like that. And it wasn't a bad experience. In her imagination it always was crowded with creepy old men, who where a bit smelly and checking her out. You know the real easy to spot 'stranger' your parents always warned you about. In stead it was a nice clean store. With a relatively normal looking woman behind the counter, the only thing off was the ring she had through her nose, but the sales lady smiled at her and asked if there was anything she could help with. Lindsy answered that she was just looking and that was fine too.

Only what to get. Phil didn't strike her like the kind of guy who would go for the cheerleader outfit. No revisiting the teenage years for him, and she would never be able to pull it of anyway, never having been a cheerleader.

Nurse outfit? No way. He must have had more than his share of those while in the hospital.

Then she saw the perfect outfit and there even where changing rooms where she could try it out. And it fit like a glove, al be it a rather tight glove, so she bought it.

The lady at the counter suggested some bondage toys but that wasn't what Lindsy had in mind either. She liked having hands free to roam, and with this outfit she would be the submissive one. But she did buy some matching undies for with the outfit.

Only when to use it. Not straight away. She could count on Hilde sending Jake over for some strange midnight cravings, at least until king season.

All she had to do was agree on some signal with Hilde. And that shouldn't be a problem, but to make sure she paid her a visit.

When Hilde opened the door she was looking radiant. Being pregnant clearly suited her well. Even if she was starting to get huge.

And she was also laughing so hard she nearly peed her pants holding on to the doorframe. Because Jake had told her exactly what had happened during his silver onion quest. Or his version of it at least.

"Hey there flasher."

Lindsy had to laugh too.

"Yeah, but try to teach your boyfriend not to be so shocked, or no, let him be shocked. It worked for me."

And that with a big grin on her face. Hilde was intrigued and almost dragged Lindsy inside to hear the whole story. Because she more than realized that the version she got from Jake was the pg one.

Lindsy was more than willing to tell Hilde her version of last nights adventures, and that went a bit further than what Jake knew about. And all Hilde could do was grin and agree that father and son where pretty much alike in most things. Except maybe Jake his shyness. But that was part what made Hilde love him so much. And Okay, she liked shocking Jake too every now and then. The eyes popping from his head look always made her laugh.

Seeing Lindsy's shopping bags Hilde also wanted to know what was in it. And the outfit got her approval. It was funny sexy, not tacky sexy. She might even want to borrow it after she gave birth. Just to get the eyes popping look again. And to prove to Jake that having a baby didn't mean having no sex's live. Because he seemed to think that at the moment.

It also became clear that Jake was more worried about not being around for the birth than Hilde. She knew she was dating someone with a dangerous job that had him unable to get to her. But it was still better than dating an astronaut or something like that.

And she would always have her twin brother to fall back on. Even with Helmuth in LA at the moment. Because he had already made arrangements to stay in Seattle during king season so Hilde wouldn't be alone.

Lindsy also promised to be around as much as possible, with as a counter favor a midnight craving once in a while, that would have Jake hunting her kitchen, and hilde was more than willing to cooperate. The signal was a simple text message.

And it seemed Hilde even strong-armed JJ and Boris into promising to be in Seattle for the month November.

So it seemed a pregnant Hilde was daunting enough to arrange everything to her liking. And part of that arrangement was that Jake was gone for the last bit, he had tried to get her to agree to him staying, only he was getting on her nerves, so she made it clear that Phil couldn't miss him.

Sure she loved him. But his constant worrying about everything that could go wrong was getting her down. She should never have let him near the 'Moekes' of Lindsy's family. They clearly scared the hell out of him and after some internet searching for everything that could go wrong during a pregnancy he was now really freaking out.

And while the girls where discussing Jake's stranger ideas and laughing about it, the subject of discussion came in.

"Hi Jake"

And Hilde got up to get a kiss. And to prove a point to Lindsy.

"Shouldn't you be resting? All this excitement cant be good for the baby. Remember what the doctor said."

Was the response, and no kiss, but a boyfriend who went into mother hen overdrive. Lindsy got the point, and so did Phil who was walking in at that moment. So Jake got a smack on the back of the head, with a rumbled.

"Go kiss the girl you idiot and act like a guy, she isn't made of eggshell porcelain."

Phil had had his share of pregnant women and knew that they where a lot less fragile than Jake thought. Jake already not to pleased by his dad's lack of understanding was ready to explode.

To keep an other blowup between father and son from happening Lindsy intervened and grabbed Phil by his arm and steered him towards the door.

"Lets leave the young lovers to fight this one out by themselves shall we?"
