Over the next few days, weeks, and months, Bev made it through the second trimester, and made it into the third trimester of her pregnancy. Her baby bump, her stomach got big. Even so, sex with Ed got harder to do, to the point where it would be tiring, so they put it on hiatus for a while. Come to mention it, Bev was even more tired than usual. She sat for long periods of time. One morning she hobbled into the kitchen, sitting down to drink her black coffee.
Looking outside on this beautiful day, she saw how nice it was. She loved her home. The kitchen was decorated nicely, the silverware was where it needed to be. Even the grandfather clock that sat in the dining room was nice. Bev felt thankful Ed provided for their family. He was the perfect husband. He was a good father to Emily, he was gentle, intelligent, reasonable, Bev loved that. Bev loved how years later, she could have the perfect family with him. She was still in love with him.
Bev sipped her coffee, feeling a slight, sharp pain that traveled from her stomach to her head. The pain was a seething pain. "Oh dear". She said, stretching back a bit. She then felt a kick. The baby was kicking! Bev smiled down at the accomplishment, her, and Ed had partook in. "mmm". She mumbled, sipping more of her coffee.
Emily came in, wearing her full body princess pajamas. She held her teddy bear close to her. "Mommy". Emily said, coming over. "Good morning, sweetheart". Bev said, gently. "You look beautiful, love". Bev blew Emily a kiss. "Mommy, the baby is getting big". Emily said. "He is". Bev said, gently. "He's on his way". 'Mommy, why does the baby get big?". Emily asked. "Mmm, sweetie, he's growing so he'll be ready when he comes". Bev said, gently. Bev still kept it simple for Emily to understand. Emily was handicapped, and she didn't need to know the details.
Emily looked up at her mom, seeing that she was pregnant. She sat, trying to piece together what it meant, and the concept of being pregnant. Emily still tried to understand. "Mm, honey, let's get some breakfast". Bev said, gently. "Would you like some of your yogurt, or some cheerios?". "Yo-gurt". Emily tried to pronounce. Emily looked up at Bev. "Of course, sweetheart". Bev said, in a soothing tone of voice. "You've done very well". Bev's soothing, calm voice bordered on the lower, suggestive register, but it still remained gentle.
Bev stood up, getting Emily some yogurt from the fridge. "I can do it by myself". Emily said, taking the top off. "Very good, honey". Bev said, gently. Bev knew Emily was a hard worker. She knew Emily was trying. For that, she was proud. Bev sat back down, drinking her coffee. "Sweetie, why don't we have a special day". Bev said, gently. "Me, and you?". Emily asked. "Of course". Bev smiled. "Mmm, you don't mind if daddy comes with us, do you?". "No". Emily said. "Wonderful, honey". Bev said, kindly. "It's your day, we'll do anything you'd like". "Can we go to the beach?". Emily asked. "Of course, sweetie". Bev said, gently.
"Can I call Ivanov?". Emily asked. "Of course, honey". Bev said, gently. Emily went over to the phone, looking for Ivanov's number. She then called Ivanov. Of course, Amy answered, as Emily asked if Ivanov could go to the beach.
"Of course, honey". Amy said, gently. "Let's talk to your mom, and make some plans, ok?". Amy was soft, and kind over the phone. "Ok". Emily said. Emily gave the phone to Bev. Bev talked with Amy for some time about what time to pick up Ivanov, and how long they would be out.
They also talked about maternity, and how things were going there. Of course, Amy had some paperwork, and IEPs to do, so she had to hang up. Bev sat back down in her chair, putting a hand on her stomach. The baby was doing well.
Emily felt as if she was part of the process. She had been on her parents' journey with them. Later on, she was going to be her little brother's godparent. Bev and Ed trusted her with their youngest one, and knew she would be a perfect guardian, and mentor to her little brother. She was the perfect religious role model. Emily was also going to be a maid of honor at their vow renewal. Bev and Ed saw her as honorable, trustworthy, and responsible. Emily felt truly special. Over these past couple of months, the sadness she felt had dwindled.
Ed came in, getting himself a cup of coffee. "Hi, pumpkin". He said to Emily, kissing her on the cheek. "Daddy, mommy said we are going to the beach". Emily said. "I heard she did want to do a special day". Ed said, gently. "We might get some lunch, play in the water". He kept it simple for Emily as well. "Daddy, Ivanov is coming, too". Emily said. "That's great". Ed said, kindly. "We'll have the day to ourselves". Emily played with her teddy bear, as Ed kissed Bev on the mouth. "Hey". he said, suggestively. "Hey". Bev said, stretching out.
"It's nice you're doing this for her". Ed said. "I know it's been weird off and on these past couple of weeks". "Mmm, she's been doing very well". Bev said. "I figured this would be a way to reward her". Emily looked up at her parents as they talked. "Sweetie, why don't you put your bathing suit on, and we'll get ready for the beach". Bev said, gently to Emily. "Ok". Emily said. "I'll get ready, myself". Bev said, standing up, walking back to the master bedroom. Ed walked back with her. Emily went into her room, putting on her bathing suit.
There was rustling as Ed put on his swim trunks, and overshirt. Bev was naked, although put a see through cover up on. They were a married couple in their room. "I think it's nice we have Emily as his godparent". Ed whispered. "She's responsible enough". "That's true". Bev whispered, with some depth to her voice. "But, if anything, we have our youngest to care for her later on". "We might have to file her as a dependent". Ed whispered. "She's getting allotted for being under someone's care". Bev whispered. "She may receive benefits under status". "True, although we can merge their savings bonds". Ed whispered.
They continued whispering as they got ready. Emily came into their room, as they knew to quit whispering. "Sweetie, you look marvelous". Bev said, gently. "Mmm, let's take some snacks with us". She walked with Emily into the kitchen, filling up the beach bag with Cheez Its, Snyder's potato chips, and Green Apples. "Mommy, I have milk". Emily said, finding the almond milk. "Good job, honey". Bev said gently, yet tiredly. "Mmm, let's put some milk in these". Bev put the almond milk in containers. Ed came out, packing the majority of these bags. He then went out to the car to load them up.
"Mmm, thank you for helping sweetie". Bev said, kissing Emily's cheek. "You're welcome". Emily said. Bev smiled a gentle smile, feeling somewhat exhausted. She felt as if she just wanted to sleep on the beach. This was her time to relax, as when the baby did come, she'd be exhausted all of the time. Bev walked outside, getting in the car. "Here, honey, let's just, there you are". Ed said, helping Bev in the passenger's side. "Thank you, dear". Bev said, kissing Ed on the mouth. Emily came over, getting in on her side. "Here you go, sweetheart". Ed said, buckling Emily in. "Thank you, daddy". Emily said. Ed kissed Emily on the cheek. Ed went in on the other side, as the beach stuff sat in the trunk.
They pulled out of the driveway, heading down the street, over to Ivanov's house. Ed, and Bev talked, whispering a couple's whispers to one another. They held hands, as Ed drove a ways down the street. Ivanov's house sat nearby. Ed pulled into Ivanov's house. "I can still get him, babe". Bev said, resting her head against the seatrest. "No, it's fine, I can get him". Ed said, kindly. "You just save your strength". "I can get that for m'lady". He chuckled. Bev kissed him on the lips. Luckily, Amy and Ivanov came outside. "Hello". Amy said, as Ivanov came down the stairs, wearing his bathing suit. "Hey". Bev said, smiling a bit. "He's all ready to go, he was so excited today when he found out". Amy smiled, as Ivanov laughed and played. Ivanov was ready for the beach.
"Hello, baby boy". Bev said, kindly. She smiled a soothing smile to Ivanov. "Da da da". Ivanov put his hands up, touching Bev's hands. "Mm, I know, it is exciting". "We'll have such a fun day today". Bev said, gently. "Yep, so the baby's doing well?". Amy asked. "He's doing well, he kicks a few times a day, but, he is still wonderful". Bev said, putting a hand on her stomach. "I'm so happy for you". Amy said, kindly. "I told Ivanov how the baby was doing, he was so happy to hear". "He's having a great day, today". "I'm glad". Bev said, gently. "Mmm, are you ready to go to the beach, buddy?". Bev smiled. Ivanov laughed, and played. "Let's get in". Bev said, gently. Emily helped Ivanov get in the car on the other side. "Hi, Ivanov". She said. Ivanov laughed, playing. "Please put on seatbelt". Emily said. "Hey, Ivy". Ed said, gently. "Are you being silly today?".
Ivanov continued laughing. "Ivy, what's so funny baby boy?". Bev smiled. "What's so funny?". She chuckled a bit, as well. She blew Ivanov a kiss. Ivanov put his hand up, catching the kiss. "I love you, baby". Bev said, gently. Emily laughed and played as well. "I'm so glad they're happy". Bev sighed, dreamily. "Mmm, they're excited". "They know he's coming, soon". Bev smiled a gentle smile. She gazed at Emily and her friend, Ivanov. She knew they were special. She felt a bit of an orgasm come through for Emily, and Ivanov. She admired them, as heroes, as responsible people.
They eventually drove down by the river, over a bit, then down to the beach. Finding a parking spot by Melbourne beach, Ed parked over by the ramp, just so it would be easier for everyone to walk. They got out, as Emily and Ivanov tried to help, by picking up some bags. "Thank you, everyone". Bev said, gently. She stroked Ivanov's head, kissing him on the cheek. "I love you very much". She kissed Emily's cheek, as well. "Here, I'll get some of the heavier things, and you can help with the lighter things". Ed said, gently. He picked up the chairs, and the umbrella, as Ivanov and Emily got the bags. They walked down the ramp, easily, and gently, going over to a spot on the beach. On the sand.
Ed set up the chairs, then the umbrella. "Here you are, sweetie". He said, helping Bev into her long beach chair, that stretched out. "Thank you, Ed". Bev said, stretching out. She took off her cover up, revealing herself to be naked. Her ginormous baby bump was seen. Ed took out some sand toys, and some mini chairs for Ivanov and Emily. "Mmm, this is perfect". Bev said, spreading her legs a bit. "It is". Ed said. "Just the family". Emily sat, playing with her sand toys, sharing them with Ivanov. "Mommy, I have a truck". She said, showing Bev. "That's wonderful, sweetie". Bev said, a bit tiredly, yet gently. "Mm, I feel so tight". She stretched back a bit. "Mmm, sweetie, would you like some of your milk?". Bev asked, tiredly. "No thank you". Emily said. "Mm, ok, sweetie". "Just let me know when you need some". Bev said, gently, leaning back, sighing, yawning tiredly. She was on the verge of sleeping.
"Buddy, you want to go by the waves?". Ed asked, gently. Ivanov played with his fingers. "Ivanov". Ed said, gently. Ivanov lifted his head, upon hearing Ed's voice. "Buddy, waves?". Ed asked, kindly. "Yes". Ivanov said. Ed helped Ivanov up from his chair, walking with him out to the waves. The waves were small today. It was as if there were none.
Bev lay, sprawled, stretched out in her beach chair. "Good thing, they're away for a bit". Bev said, gently. "We can have our girl time". She cracked a sneaky smile. Emily sat, playing with her mermaid barbie. "Mommy". She said, looking up at Bev. "mmm, yes, sweetie?". Bev said, tiredly. "Why does daddy, and you, make me a god mom?". Emily asked. "Mmph, a godmother?". Bev mumbled a bit. "Yes". Emily said. "Well, sweetie, you've given us everything we could've ever asked for in a daughter". Bev said, gently. "You've inspired me to be a better woman". "I am very thankful for that".
"I've always known you were going to be our hero from the moment I saw you in the hospital". Bev brushed Emily's face with her hand. "I knew we had a special relationship". She smiled a gentle smile. "Do you remember that?". She whispered. "Kind of". Emily said. "Mmm, you were so happy, and pleasant". "You needed us, as much as we needed you". Bev said, gently. "Mmm, you've always been my inspiration". Bev tickled Emily's chin. Emily played with her Barbie. "Mmm, it's been difficult, being pregnant". "But I am happy to be doing it all over again". Bev said, laying back. "Daddy and you love each other". Emily said. "We do". Bev said, tiredly. "He is a great man". "Mmm". She sighed, tiredly. Then looked over to participate with Emily. "Sweetie, you've been doing very well, recently". Bev said, gently, tiredly. "Yes". Emily said. "No nightmares?". Bev asked, tiredly. "No". Emily said. "Mmm, that's good, sweetie". Bev said, gently. "You haven't had any troubles during the day". "You're doing so well". "Ohhh, you're so amazing". She yawned, tiredly. "I'm so proud of you, always". She tickled Emily's chin.
"Mommy, my Barbie is a mermaid". Emily said, mispronouncing the word, "mermaid". "That's lovely, sweetie". Bev said, tiredly. "Mmm, she looks beautiful". "She's a princess, like Ariel". Emily said. "That's what I love, honey". Bev said, tiredly. "Mmm, sweetie, you look beautiful". "I love that bathing suit". "Thank you, mommy". Emily said. "Mmm, so you feel happier?". Bev said, gently. "You haven't had any nightmares, any day tremors". "No". Emily said. "I still talk to my grandpa, though". "That's wonderful". Bev said, gently. "Your grandpa would be so proud of how helpful you've been through this process".
"Grandpa is proud of me?". Emily asked. "He would be very proud of you". Bev said, kindly. "Your grandpa loves you". "Sweetie, I know this process has been trying at times, but, your father and I love one another very much, and when two people have love that is strong, it tends to be reflected in what happens". "I haven't had children in a while, but, it is nice to be doing it all over again".
"We will always be best friends". Bev said, gently. "You and I, my special girl". She blew Emily a kiss. Emily caught it. Emily saw her mom. She saw that her mom was naked. Bev's nipple looked a bit bigger than it did before. Her breasts as a whole looked bigger. "Mommy, when is you and daddy gonna have vow?". Emily asked. "Mm, our vow renewal will be soon". Bev said, gently, tiredly. "We'll get you a new dress, we'll have a nice lunch at San Marimo, it'll be lovely". Bev yawned, tiredly, brushing Emily's face. Emily felt as if she was part of her parents' process. She felt as if she was part of the pregnancy. It was nice for her to know that her parents were there, guiding her, protecting her, and providing her with stability through their love of one another. Emily felt safe with her parents.
She felt truly happy that her parents loved one another. She felt happy that they were giving her an amazing life. She loved the talks she had with Bev, she loved how gentle Ed was, and she was going to love having a baby brother. Emily couldn't have felt more content.
"Mmm, sweetie, so she's a mermaid?". Bev asked, tiredly. "Yes". Emily said. "She can swim". "Mmm, that's good". Bev said, gently. Ivanov and Ed came back from the ocean. Ivanov sat down next to Bev. "Hello, my baby boy". Bev said, tiredly, yet gently. "Did you and daddy have fun?". "Ba ba". Ivanov smiled. "Mmm, I know, you're cold from being in the water". Bev mumbled. "I know you liked it, huh, buddy?". Bev blew Ivanov a kiss. "Love you my special boy". She said, tiredly. "Love you". Ivanov said. It was the only two words he knew how to say. "Mmm". Bev smiled down at Ivanov. She felt her stomach endure a sharp pain yet again, as she lay there. The baby kicked yet again. "Mmm, so exciting". She smiled. "Mmm, would you like to give the baby a kiss good morning?". Bev asked Ivanov. Ivanov sat, playing with his fingers. "Ivanov". Bev said, gently. Ivanov looked up at Bev, turning his head. "Sweetie, why don't we give the baby a kiss". Bev said, gently. Ivanov came over, putting a hand on Bev's stomach. "Let's give him a kiss". Bev said, kindly. Ivanov kissed Bev's baby bump. "There's a baby in there". Bev said, gently.
Ivanov sat, looking around. "Mommy, can I give my brotter a kiss?". Emily asked. She mispronounced the word, "brother". Not to worry, she was receiving speech therapy in school.
"Of course, honey". Bev said, gently. "Is the baby sleeping in there?". Emily asked. "He might be". Bev said, kindly. "We have to be quiet". Emily said. "Yes, we do". Bev said, gently. Emily kissed Bev's baby bump. Emily felt the magic, knew the love that was shared, as Ed and Bev did their thing as a couple. There was marriage, which was nice, now there was yet another child. Their marriage had been polished. Their love had been restored. Bev still flirted with men, she still sat outside, naked, but if there was someone she truly loved, it was Ed.
Emily felt comforted by her parents. Even though they were going through a change, she still loved them, and felt comforted by them.
"I love you, mommy". Emily said. "I love you too, sweetie". Bev said, tiredly. Emily played with her Barbie, and Ivanov his truck. "Mmm". Bev mumbled. She felt herself falling asleep. It was getting later in the day. Being a mom was enough for her. Now, she just wanted to take a rest. She did. A few minutes later, she was seen sleeping. "Oh, ok, mommy". Emily said. "Why don't we go play in the water for a little bit?". Ed suggested, softly. "We'll have fun in the water". "Ok". Emily said. She and Ivanov got up, going with Ed near the water. They sat in, as the tiny waves brushed over them. Emily and Ivanov, both giggled, and played.
The beach was crisp, warm, yet misty. The essence of sex, and freedom lay about, stretching over the mist of the water for miles. "Mmm". Bev said, mumbling. "This is good". She felt the freedom stretch over her. The beauty that surrounded her, the stretch was natural. Bev lay out, admiring what she had. She had a wonderful husband she loved dearly, a beautiful home, and an amazing daughter. She truly felt blessed.
Ed came back, kissing her on the mouth. As Emily played, she felt, the airs of sex, and nature, natural process alluding to pregnancy, and marriage coming to. It was as crisp, and natural as Bev and Ed laying naked, or the sound of a deep, sexual, sultry voice cutting against the crisp of the ocean air. It was natural, it was beautiful, the entrance of life, and the revive of marriage was coming to.
"You've given us everything". Bev said to Emily, gently. "We will always love you". Emily sat, playing with the sand looking up at her parents. She felt comforted by their relationship. By their closeness. "Mmm, sweetie, we cherish you". Bev said, gently. The sultry, sexual register was coming to. It was comforting, and gentle, however. Ivanov sat by, as well. They were together as friends. "You've given us so many gifts throughout our life". "You've given us the strength to be our best selves". "You've protected us, you've inspired us, you are our reason". "You make us a true family". Bev said in a comforting, yet sultry, voice that just bordered on sexual.
The water washed over Bev's body, as she lay, naked, pure, her big baby bump was seen. "I will always feel the most content with you, my gift, my best friend". "My hero". Bev said, in a comforting, sultry voice. "My wonderful, amazing love". She tickled Emily's cheek. Emily sat, unable to comprehend what was going on, but she felt part of the process. Emily looked a bit downtrodden, or indecisive. Bev smiled, lifting Emily's chin, tickling Emily's chin. "I love you, my best friend". Bev said, gently.
At this point, Ivanov and Ed were back in the ocean. It was just the girls now.
"I remember when I first met you, at the Children's Hospital". Bev said, in her deep, raspy, smoker's voice. She still spoke gently. "Do you remember that?". Bev asked. Some waves washed over Bev as she lay naked, it was cleansing her, it was purity, it was natural, clean, anthropomorphic. A cartoon character toad has human-like qualities.
Emily sat, looking down. "Yes". Emily said. "I don't...I don't know". "Emily, you were so happy, and pleasant". Bev said, in a gentle, yet sultry voice. "You would smile, and play". "You would sing, you would dance". "I knew, from the first time I met you, that god had put us together". Bev tickled Emily's chin. "We were meant to be in each other's lives". "I...I...I sing my songs". Emily said. "You did, although you had also regressed after the crash". Bev said, gently. "You had trouble swallowing, you couldn't walk, you couldn't talk, but, you are such a bright girl". It was as if she was having an orgasm. She was having a fetish. Like a turn on, or a slur when someone has a turn on.
"Ohh, you learned so quickly". Bev said, gently. "You were so hardworking". "I was so proud of you, I always am, but, you were just so giving, and selfless". "You blossomed". Emily sat, not sure of what to make of this. "You were so… righteous, and kind". "So smart". Her sultry, sexual register, almost came to. It did come to. "You do so many inspiring things for us". "You've been so kind, and resilient throughout this process". "You've strengthened us". "As much as you've learned from me, I've learned from you". "I will always love how special you are to us". Bev stretched out a bit. "You make us a true family". She tickled Emily's cheek.
"Never worry, I'll always be there for you". "Always, even if no one else is".Bev said, gently. She brushed Emily's face, then stretched out in the sand. "Mommy". Emily said, looking down at Bev. Or over at Bev. "why did I get picked to be god mom?". Emily asked. "Sweetie, we chose you because you because you've made a difference in our lives". Bev said, gently. "You've been so responsible, you have a strong sense of right, and wrong, and you've given us everything we could ever need in a family". "You're very strong in terms of religion, we know you'll take care of us, our family". "You are our blessing". Bev's voice was sexual. "Ohh, sweetheart". Bev said, brushing her face. Emily sat, not knowing what to do. She picked up some sand, and played with it. "You are our gift from god". Bev said, caressing Emily's cheek with her backhand. "You've made us a family". Emily sat, feeling happy, feeling safe with Bev. She felt better with her mom, and she felt better knowing she had a family that wasn't going anywhere.
"I love you, mommy". Emily said. "I love you too, sweetie". Bev said, gently, tickling Emily's cheek.
Above, it seemed with the mist, and the waves, that there was sex, but it seemed loving now. Maybe Bev, promiscuous, old, flirtatious, sex obsessed Bev was ok for Emily. Emily felt comfortable.
In the heavens above, god knew this was good for Emily too. It seemed heaven, with all of the angels and saints, were, and was content with Emily in her new family. For the first time, Emily felt safe. Maybe Bev wasn't so bad.
Emily sat, enjoying the caresses from her naked mom. No seriously, Bev was very naked, every part of her was showing.
"Mmm, I can't wait for him to come out". Bev said, gently. "I'm very excited for you to meet him". "You will be such an amazing guardian to him". "Mommy, why does the baby be a boy?". Emily asked. "It's a scientific process that happens when your dad and I, do some things". Bev said, gently. "I don't know much about it, but it is fertilization". "When the sperm, and egg meet, and when it's fertilized, it's a male, and if not, it's a female". "Oh". Emily said. "That's just what I looked up". Bev said, tiredly.
Emily sat, with some sadness in her eyes, she looked as if she had just been hurt. "What's wrong, love?". Bev said, gently. She stroked Emily's cheek. "I'm not smart enough". Emily said, with a wet spot in the corner of her eye. "My family doesn't love me".
"Emily, sweetheart, there's no need to worry". Bev said, gently. "I love you, daddy loves you". "We'll do it, together, even if it's just us". "I know you may feel insecure, but we'll get through it". "We'll heal, as a family". "Ok". Emily said. Bev tickled Emily's cheek. Emily felt a bit better. She felt safer now.
Emily sat, sniffling a bit, as Bev tickled her cheek. "Mommy, tickle tickle". Emily said. "Tickle, tickle, sweetie". Bev said, smiling gently. "Mmm". Bev mumbled, tiredly. Ed and Ivanov got back from the water.
"Da da da". Ivanov babbled, laughing. "Hello, my sweet boy, did you have fun?". Bev asked, gently. Ivanov laughed, and played. "We had some much needed time to ourselves". Ed said, gently. He stood over Bev, as Bev lay stretched out. "Big boy". She said in a suggestive register to Ed. Ed licked his lips. "How was your girl's time?". Ed asked, gently. "It was good, we talked". Bev said, gently. She and Emily knew of their mother/daughter time. The special time it was.
Ed helped pull Bev up from the small waterbed by the waves. She hobbled over to her chair. "Thanks, dear". Bev said. She sat, stretched out, looking down at her feet. "Mmm, I need my hair redone". Bev said, pulling her hair up. "It's been in that ocean water". "We could get a shower later on". Ed said. "Perhaps". Bev said. It was getting later in the afternoon, and it was getting moist. Sweaty, and sticky. Ivanov sat, picking up some sand, ready to put it in his mouth. "That's yucky, sweetie". Bev said, gently, lowering his hand, batting the sand away.
It was getting later on in the day, and everyone was getting tired. Ed drank the last of his soda. "I think it's perhaps time we went on our way". Ed said, gently. Bev sat in the chair beside him, asleep.
"Honey". Ed said, as Bev jerked awake. "Mmm, yes?". Bev said, starting to. "It's almost 2:14". Ed said. "Mmm, we've probably been here long enough, maybe". "Mmm, I'm sure of it". Bev said. Ed helped pull Bev up again. Ivanov and Emily were playing.
"It's time for clean up". Ed said, gently. Emily looked up at Ed. "Daddy, I have a mermaid". Emily said. "It's time to go bye byes, sweetie". Ed said, gently. "Ok". Emily said. Bev looked over at Ivanov. "Ivanov, sweetie". Bev said, gently. "Are you ready to go bye byes?". Ivanov looked up at Bev. "ba ba". He pointed. "Yes, it's time for bye byes". Bev said, gently. "Let's get dried off, baby boy". Ivanov stood up, coming over to the towel. Bev dried him off.
Now, it was time to go to lunch. They did, and had a nice, pretty big meal. Later on, it was time to go home and shower.
Bev stepped in her shower, letting the jets massage her shoulders, massage her stomach. The shower massaged her, as the soap, the foam soap bubbled up a bit, coming all over her body. Bev couldn't have felt any better. She loved how the soap had bubbled up a considerable amount, how soft it felt, how foamy it felt. This was body wash. Bev loved being in her shower, getting clean. While she got clean, she thought of just how lucky she was, as an individual. She was lucky to have a great husband, a wonderful daughter.
Come to think of it, she had grown up with a normal childhood, and had developed normally. She had loving parents who were caring. She was intelligent, and had a normal track. Some children didn't have that. Emily didn't have that. Some of the children Bev worked with, didn't have that. They didn't have the love, care, and nutrients they deserved. Bev felt bad for those children. "This may be a big change". Bev thought, in sympathy, "Remember, I'm here for you". "I love you". She was pregnant. Some of the children she worked with. Some of the adults that were in the group facility she worked with, wouldn't be able to comprehend a pregnancy, or how a baby was made. She thought of them. She would be there for them. She loved them. They would go through this process, this change together. It just was what it was at this point.
Later on, that night, as Emily sat in bed with Bev, her happiness was tantamount. She was having a wild time. "Why don't lay down, sweetie?". Bev said, tiredly. "No". Emily said, laughing and playing. The glow of the T.V. was seen against the darkness, against the black, as Emily laughed, and played. "Mm, goodnight, love". Bev said, tiredly. Now, it was apparent, akin to everything, that this was going to be some pregnancy. As everyone went to sleep that night, they knew of what was coming.
