The growing belly, constant nausea, and swollen almost to the point of pain ankles was far more than Thomas was willing to deal with. Plus, Newt wouldn't let him do anything by himself the second he'd found out about his predicament. Even a simple trip to take a piss required a chaperone. Thomas groaned in discomfort as the 'demon' child inside him spun around, kicking everything he could reach without mercy. Newt looked up quickly at the distressed noise only to find Thomas grimacing.
"She moving around too much again?" Newt whispered as he placed both hands on either side of the swollen bump. The movement was quelled almost instantly to just a few kicks here or there where Newt's hands lay. Thomas pouted at his boyfriend's ease of calming down their span when everything Thomas did only seemed to make the situation worse.
"She? I though we agreed the proper pronoun to be used as he," Thomas questioned. Newt only hummed in response as he pressed his ear to Thomas' stomach. "What the shuck are you doing now?"
"Your use of our words is getting better. They are actually starting to sound normal in conversation."
"Answer the question. Both of them."
"First, I would use he if she was indeed a he. I know you are having a girl. Two, I'm listening to her heartbeat but I can't over the sound of your voice. Now shut up," Newt explained. He leaned forward again and scrunched up his face in concentration. Thomas resigned himself to situation and relaxed into Newt's touch.
"Any name suggestions?" Thomas inquired once all movement stilled. Newt moved off Thomas and curled up next to him while placing his nose into his lover's neck.
"I'm partial to Brigid if I'm right. On the off chance that you are right, I like James," Newt replied. Thomas nodded in agreement as he threaded his fingers through Newt's hair.
"Can't wait to meet you, James," Thomas said fondly as he rubbed his stomach.
"Don't grow up to fast, Brigid. We want you to have the childhood we've forgotten," Newt added with a watery smile. "You'll have everything you could ever want once we get out."
