"Elliot it's not going to hurt the baby. I promise."

"Kate you're exhausted and you've been having so much morning sickness, just got to sleep. I love you."

I roll onto my side and a tear streaks down my face. Under my breath I mumble "You just don't want me anymore."

"Kate no! Don't ever think that baby." He moves from his side of the bed to mine pulling me close, my back to his front. "Does this feel like I don't want you anymore?" Pushing his erection against my body. "I just don't want to hurt you or junior."

With that I roll over and cupped his face with my hands and kiss him. My kisses began soft and tender and built up to lustful desire. I swung my top leg over his hip, and rubbed my other leg between his legs teasing him. I moved to him neck licking and biting. I whispered in his ear "I need you." His hands found my enlarged tender breasts and he began to fondle them. I ran my hands down his sculpted arms and across his torso until I found his happy trail, and I followed it down and took his shaft in my hand. Rubbing it up and down swirling the spurt of hot pre-cum over his tip. His hands moved down my body lingering a little too long on my hardened baby belly. "Stop over thinking it baby, it's 100% safe."

"Ok, but you on top, I don't want to crush junior."

I open my nightstand and grab some lube and a bullet. Our mouths and tongues become entwined as a rub the lube on him "How about this?" I straddle him with my back to his face and lower myself onto him. I look back at him and his face delights with pleasure as I turn on the bullet and begin rubbing my clit with it. My other hand massaging his balls. God it feel so good. I'm in control of the speed and the angle, and he's hitting me in the perfect spot. "Oh god baby, I going to come." I find my release and he trusts into me a few more times before finding his.

"Thank you baby. Now get over here so I can kiss that beautiful face."

I climb back up our bed towards him and he kisses me. "I love you."

"I love you too, now mommy you need some sleep, we have our doctor's appointment with Dr. Greene in the morning." We drift off to sleep in each other's arms.

"Good morning Kate and Elliot. Kate how are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling fine, I just have this wired sense of smell, I'm tired all the time, and I'm going pee like crazy."

"Well your measurements and weight gain all look good. You should have more energy in the next few weeks. I'm sorry to tell you this but the going pee thing will probably only get worse as the baby grows. If you don't have any other questions stop on your way out to make your 12 week appointment."

"Dr. Greene, Kate assures me that sex is perfectly safe for the baby, but"

She stops me before I can finish. "Elliot, I assure you that sex is perfectly safe in fact many women crave it more than normal during the 2nd trimester. Just remember Kate that as you get bigger, it's better not to be flat on your back, and no blowing on her vagina during oral sex because it can cause air embolus, which can travel to the lungs and have potentially fatal consequences. Other than that it is perfectly safe. You can't harm the baby, junior is protected. Think of it as an egg surrounded by a pillow and another pillow."

"Thank you Dr. Greene. We'll see you in four weeks."

We walk hand in hand to the car. "Baby I'd really love to spend some time with our nephew and my best friend, but I'm not sure if I can keep this from her. She just knows me so well."

"What if my mom went with you or if I picked-up Teddy so that we could baby sit him for Ana and Christian?"

"I would love to watch Teddy, and it would be good practice for us. Do you really think they will let us watch him? You know how protective they are. I'll call Ana."

"The worst they can say is no."

"I'll call her when I get to the office. I love you. Laters."

"Laters, baby and junior."

"Hey Ana, how are you? We're good but we miss Teddy. It seems like we haven't seen him lately. I know. Elliot and I were thinking that you and Christian might like to have a date night and that Teddy's favorite Auntie and Uncle could watch him. OK. Maybe you could surprise him. Perfect. OK, we will see you on Saturday at nine. Thanks Ana, luv ya."

New text to Elliot

Ana is going to surprise your brother. We are pick-up Teddy Saturday at 9 am when he is on his run, and they will pick him up Sunday afternoon. :0)

A minute later my phone pings with a new message

From Elliot

Can't wait till Saturday – Laters

I never really knew such a small person could have so much stuff. A car seat, a stroller, diapers, clothes, toys, and books. "Ana does he really need all this? He's just coming to our house overnight?"

"You have no idea Kavanagh. I'll bet you a new pair of Louis Vuitton's you will use everything I've packed by the time we pick him up tomorrow."

"You're on Steele! Say bye to mommy Teddy."

"Bye bye mama"

"I love you Teddy Bear. Daddy and I will see you tomorrow. Be good for Auntie Kitty and Uncle Lellot."

We start our little adventure with a trip to the park. Teddy loves to swing, and Elliot looks like he's five years old again. It's so much fun to watch them. Then we head over to Grace and Carrick's house for lunch. After nap time we took Teddy for a swim. Lucky Carrick had a meeting. When Grace saw me in my swim suite she went straight for my belly.

"How are you feeling dear? You look beautiful. Pregnancy seems to really agree with you."

"I'm good mom, I seem to be feeling a little better and have a little more energy."

"Nana, why do you have your hand on Auntie Kitty's tummy?" we heard a little voice ask from the door as my husband began to laugh.

"Teddy, Auntie Kitty just has a little tummy ache."

"Does she need med-a-sin?"

"No baby she'll be fine in a few months, now let's go for that swim."

By the time we got home for the night Teddy was burnt out. We put him to bed in the guest room that was closest to ours. The room that would belong to the baby soon. He slept through the night. In the morning I was awoken to Teddy standing next to my side of the bed shaking my arm while he was eating Cheerios from my bedside table.

"Good morning Teddy Bear. Do you want to cuddle with Auntie Kitty?" He shook his head yes and I pulled him into the bed with us. The commotion woke up Elliot and he greeted us with a big smile that lead to a tickle and zerburt war. What a great way to start the day.

"Auntie Kitty why do you have Cheerios next to your bed? Mommy and daddy don't let me eat in my room."

I couldn't help but laugh. I thought Ana was going to catch on, but it turns out our brilliant nephew is on to our little secret. "Remember Nana told you yesterday that I have a tummy ache. These help my tummy feel a little better."

"OK, can I have some more? I 'm hungry."

"Sure, but let's go eat breakfast little man."

After breakfast we headed to the Woodland Park Zoo. Teddy loved the reptile house and the elephants. Elliot liked the Giraffe's because they were mating, he was clearly impressed by the males. "Elliot! I think we should move on!" We quickly moved to the next exhibit. I really enjoyed the carousel. Teddy and Elliot looked so happy, and it gave me a chance to sit down. We had a picnic in the park and then headed home to meet Ana and Christian. It was a perfect day. When we got to the house Teddy played with his toy and books that Ana had packed him. Dam, Ana was right we used every single think she had packed. Teddy was down for a nap when they arrived.

"How did it go?" Ana said with a smile. She and Christian both looked so happy

"Great, but I owe you a pair of new shoes. When do you want to go shopping?"

"How about Wednesday night after work we can go out for some cocktails and then go shopping."

Shit! Cocktails?

"Kate, don't you have a business dinner on Wednesday night?" Good save husband, I owe you one.

"Yes, I totally forgot. Can I check my schedule and then call you next week?"

Christian and Elliot loaded up the SUV with all the Teddy gear, and Ana scooped him up in her arms and carried him to the car. He never even opened his eyes. Elliot and I were exhausted when they left, we both fell into the sofa and began to giggle. "What have we gotten ourselves into?"
