Elizabeth's sickness had really calmed down and she had been back at work pretty much full time for the past 6 weeks.. There had been the odd day here and there when she couldn't keep anything down but that was now quite rare... she knew what she could eat and drink that wouldn't make a quick exit and she was feeling pretty good... she was really starting to enjoy her new curves and was loving her growing breasts... as was Henry. He had never found her so sexy and that suited her as her hormones meant she wanted him... all the time, which could be really inconvenient. The house move was imminent and was causing her some unneeded stress... but Henry had told her Is was under control and she trusted him implicitly.

They were sat in the doctors office, waiting for their ultrasound and having a slight disagreement

"I don't want to know what we're having... I want it to be a surprise Henry."

"But it would make it so much easier to decorate and buy all the stuff we need... and don't you want to think of names?"

"You mean you still aren't on board with Rapunzel?" Elizabeth chuckled

"Come on Baby... I really want to know." Henry was trying the puppy dog eyes with her but it wasn't working

"I don't want to know... and as I'm the one who has to push it out... I have the winning vote."

"You're so lucky!" He quipped

"I'll remind you of that when I'm screaming."

He moved closer and whispered in her ear

"I like hearing you scream…"

"Different kind of screaming Henry... different kind of screaming."

"Elizabeth...Henry... Would you like to come in?" Dr Read ushered them into the ultrasound room

"How has everything been Elizabeth?"

"Pretty good... the sickness was horrendous for a good few weeks but it seems to have calmed down."

"And have you been feeling movements?"

"I have... But Henry hasn't been able to feel anything yet?"

"That Will happen soon... be patient."

She covered Elizabeth's stomach with the cold gel and within seconds, their little jellybean was on the screen

"Are we finding out what you're having today?"

"Nope... definitely not... I want it to be a surprise." Elizabeth answered, sticking her tongue out at Henry

"Very mature." He grinned

"Everything is looking beautiful... Do you have any questions?"

Elizabeth went a little red but was concerned so needed to ask

"Um... is it normal to... um..."

Henry interrupted her

"She wants sex all the time... like... all the time."

"HENRY!" she slapped his arm and turned an even darker shade of crimson

Dr Read chuckled

"It's perfectly normal... as long as you're feeling fine then go for it... No harm in it at all... I do want you to come back in a few weeks to check your iron levels, they're a bit low."

They got back home and Elizabeth sat out in the garden, crunching on carrot sticks which had become her permanent craving. The sun was shining and illuminating her glowing complexion

"You really do look absolutely stunning." Henry grinned, unable to overt his gaze

"I look fat and gross is how I look."

"No you don't... take the compliment because you are gorgeous."

"Don't Henry... because you know how I am right now... and I'll end up jumping you."

"I'm not complaining" He pulled her up and wrapped his arms around her

"Oh... So it's you who wants it... I could be persuaded."

"Shall we take this inside...?"

He took her by the hand and they were just heading up the stairs when there was a knock at the door

"Who's that?" Elizabeth groaned

"I don't know... I've lost my ability to see through solid doors."

"Ha Ha…"

Henry opened the door to find Will and Sophie stood there

"Will... what the hell are you doing here?" Elizabeth was rather shocked to see her brother standing there

"we've come to help with the move... and by the looks of you, you definitely need us." He pulled his sister into a hug, and then looked her up and down

"You're looking really good... And I'm so happy for you both... "

'Thanks will... But how did you know we were moving this weekend?"

"It's called a telephone... and I used it to call him." Henry joked

"We didn't interrupt you did we?... We decided to come a few days early." Sophie asked, hugging her sister-in-law

"Nope... we're weren't doing anything special... Take your bags up."

"Hey... little brother... thanks for coming."

"Uncle Will... Aunt Sophie... You're here!" Stevie came running in through the door, shrieking with delight

"We are...Is it a good surprise?" Will asked, giving her a hug

"It's an awesome surprise."

"And are you excited about the new baby?" Sophie smiled, giving her niece a hug

"Yes... we're going to call her Rapunzel."

Elizabeth was shaking her head

Henry carried Ali in and handed her to Elizabeth

"And there's my other little nice... Should you be holding her like that?" Will asked

"Yes... I'm fine...We had the scan today and everything is great."

"Really... so what is it... I'm going for boy?" Will sounded rather excited

"We don't know." Elizabeth smiled

"Why not... couldn't they tell?"

"Apparently we wanted it to be a surprise." Henry chipped in

"Ahhh... so my sister wanted it to be a surprise... I get it."

"Shut up the pair of you... God you're like a double act."

Elizabeth and Sophie went to sit out in the garden while the girls played

"Is this difficult for you?" Elizabeth asked

"What.. you being pregnant?... No honestly, I'm fine."

"Sophie... I know you well enough by now to know that's not true... Is he still not budging on this?"

"No... and I'm not sure he ever will... which leaves me with a big decision to make."

"If all else fails... drink too much, puke and then fuck on a beach... seems to work really well." Elizabeth chuckled at how frank she'd been

Sophie's eyes grew big and she grinned

"You didn't... in Florida?"

"Yeah... don't tell me you didn't know."

"i had no clue... when?"... Details?"

"Our last night there... big argument... lots of passion... baby."

'Elizabeth... I'm shocked!" Sophie was highly amused

"I certainly was when I did the tests... But I'm so happy now."

Sophie sighed

"I can't trick him into it... he either wants it or he doesn't... but I do so where does that leaves us."

Elizabeth gave her another hug

"It will all work out, you'll see."

Will and Henry we're pulling boxes down from the loft

"I really appreciate you coming to help Will... I don't want Elizabeth getting too stressed out with this whole move."

"It's not a problem, glad to be here... She's ok isn't she.. The Dr is happy with her?... Because she looks tired." Will sounded concerned

"She's fine... Her iron levels are still a little low but they're keeping an eye on it."

"She looked after me when our parents died, and as estranged as we became, I feel the need to protect her."

"She's honestly good Will... I'd tell you if she wan't... Other than growing a little person, she's just the same Elizabeth."

"No, she's not... she's changed... she's found what brings her to life and it's amazing to see her like this."

"Don't go getting all emotional on me... I have my hands full with your sister crying constantly." Henry laughed

"I don't envy you... I can't stand it when they cry."

"That's happening a lot around here lately... She cried because her toast wasn't brown enough yesterday."

Will chuckled and shook his head

"I'll remember to tease her about that when it's safe."

They heard Sophie call up the stairs

"Come on guys... Dinner's ready."

They looked at each other with concern as they entered the kitchen

"you didn't cook did you Lizzie... because I love you but I'm not hungry if you did." Will looked around to see what inedible concoction awaited them

"Oh you're funny Will... Sophie cooked if you must know."

"Thank god... I'm starving."

"You see how he treats me... You'd eat what I cooked, wouldn't you?" She placed a soft kiss on Henry's lips and waited for the answer

"Yes baby... Of course I would."

"You're such a liar Henry..." Will chuckled

"I like my marriage... and staying alive is a good option."

Elizabeth shot him a look

"And I would absolutely eat anything you gave me baby."

When they'd finally managed to crawl into bed, Elizabeth and Henry had quickly found themselves embroiled in a rather heated kissing session... The combination of her hormones and his inability to keep his hands off her rather voluptuous body was doing wonders for their relationship... As her bump grew, they were having to be rather more creative and they were loving it...

"God you're sexy" He was looking into her eyes which seemed to have a whole new wonderfully serene sparkle to them

"Keep it up Dr McCord... flattery will get you everywhere."

"I'm serious... I know it's a cliche but you're glowing... How can you possibly get more stunning?"

She kissed him again, the passion still there but with a tenderness that conveyed just how much she loved him... He always made her feel like the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen and it wasn't lost on her... Since she'd become pregnant, she was falling in love with him on a whole new level.

"Are you ok?" He asked, brushing the hair away from her eyes

"I'm really happy Henry... like... blissfully happy."

"Turn over so I can cuddle you."

"Why?... Aren't we going to...?"

"Yeah... like this... I want to hold you."

She turned over and her curled in behind her, his arms enveloping her as he entered her

"Oh wow... that feels really good." she sighed

He moved slowly, letting things build up gradually

Sex had always been very passionate between them, but lately it always seemed to be rather frantic and over pretty quickly... so he was relishing the calmness

They took their time, in no rush to finish... Her leg was draped over his hip and he was holding her tightly, his hand resting on her bump

"I'm really starting to feel it now baby... can you speed up a bit?" Her breath caught in her throat as she spoke and he could tell she was close

"If I do... I'll cum." He breathed, heavily

"thank god... I've been trying to wait for you... hurry up…"

His movements quickened

"Oh god... I'm so close." She tilted her head back so it was resting on his shoulder

"Urghhhh fuck!" He tensed as he came, sending her over the edge with him

"Oh wow..." She shuddered at his touch, hyper sensitive from her orgasm

"That's was different... in a really good way." He kissed her bare shoulder as he softened inside her and moved away

"That felt amazing... I'm tingling." She pulled on her robe and padded across to the bathroom

Henry cleaned himself up and closed his eyes

She climbed back into bed and he instinctively wrapped his arms around her, hand back on her bump

They were just drifting off to sleep when Henry opened his eyes

"Babe... did I just feel...?"

"Yes" She interrupted before he could get the words out

"Oh my god... I felt that... that's our baby.. right?"

"Yep... that's our baby."

She placed her hand over his and smiled

"That's amazing... thank you baby."

"What for?" She chuckled

"For giving me the world."
