Beginning of August
Clay was getting ready to get into bed when he heard Nicole in the bathroom.
"Ugh!" She let out, in the shower.
"Ha...babe? You good?" Clay asked through the crack of the door, she didn't have it shut all the way.
"I'm sorry..! But is that you laughing!?" She snapped back. Clay automatically stopped not wanting to escalate it
"No baby...what's wrong?" He asked sincerely.
"I'm so done being pregnant!" She said. Clay sighed to himself "not again" he thought.
"Do you need help? Can I come in?" He asked.
"Yes actually, you did this you can help." She said, he opened the door and walked into the bathroom. She turned the shower part off, plugged the drain and opened the curtain, handing him a razor.
"Here." She said and sat in the tub that was filling with water.
"Ha um okay...what...?-" he started saying.
"My knee up. Shave it." She said.
"Okay." He said not thinking this was a big deal. She laid in the tub.
"Can I ask why you're mad?" He said kneeling next to the tub.
"I'm not mad! I'm irritated!" She said.
"Okay, hey. Nic. I'm just asking a question baby. Im sorry your irritated but I'm here to help, just ask. I'll do whatever." He reassured her trying to be sensitive to her feelings.
"I know Clay. Right now I'm asking you to please shave the rest of my legs and vagina so we can have sex because I've been really damn horny all day long and I want you to want me." She said back.
"You know you don't need to shave anything for me to want you right?" He asked worried she thought he had standards.
"I know. But it makes me feel better about myself. Sure I can put on a cute dress and sandals, but underneath all that is this and I don't want this." She said pointing to her areas.
"Alright. You got it babe. But always know, no matter what...your always so beautiful to me. Shaved or not." He winked and started putting shaving cream on her.
"Mhm." She said brushing off the typical comment.
"How bout I give you a massage after this? I know your back hurts." He told her.
"It does." She said.

The next morning Clay got to work, he was almost late.
"Sorry guys." He said putting his stuff down and changing into his gear for training.
"Trouble on the home front this morning?" Jason asked almost all geared up.
"Guess you could say that." Clay said, getting undressed to get dressed.
"Uh oh whatchya do now young Jedi?" Sonny joked.
"Yeah let's here it." Ray sighed. Clay started to ramble about it while he was getting ready.
"It started last night. She was in the shower, I heard her getting pissed off so, asked her what was going on. She needed help shaving, she's so far along she can't reach anything, and not to mention she's short. So I go in and help her. Done. Well then this morning, oh wait I forgot, we also had sex after that, that's important information...-"
"Wait wait educate me on somethin', she's the perkiest little blonde I've ever met, what's sex like when she's a little fire cracker. That's gotta be an experience." Sonny asked.
"Shut up Sonny not the point..." Clay said wanting to keep talking.
"No I'm with Sonny what is that like?" Jason asked also curious. Clay laughed and stared for a second at him not believing they were serious. He looked at the other guys, they all wanted to know.
"It's good...? I don't know what you guys want me to say? It's more aggressive?" He started laughing getting uncomfortable.
"Interestin'. Okay continue." Sonny said.
"ANYWAY. So this morning I woke up late and didn't have time to make coffee or breakfast, I had to go. Well she catches me leaving and wanted to have sex again. I say no I have to go and it was like world war 3. So I'm not late because I was doing her, I'm late because she bit my head off." Clay said.
"Get her a toy doohickey thinger. She can take it anywhere she goes." Sonny suggested.
"Oh yeah great idea Sonny...here honey, I bought you a dildo so I don't have to fuck you so often...? That'd go over real well" Clay said sarcastically making everyone laugh pretty hard as he sat on the bench to tie his boots.
"I'd take advantage of it cause as soon as that baby girl comes it's going to be all about her. Not to mention her sex drive could diminish immensely. I know after both kids Naima's did." Ray said, Clay listened to him.
"I hear ya man. And it's not like I don't want to, it's just her timing can be so off. Like a few weeks ago we were getting ready for the funeral...she wanted to have sex! Like sometimes it's like, what the fuck.. you know?" Clay said. Everyone laughed and shrugged their shoulders not really knowing what to say.
"Women...can't live with em, can't live without em." Sonny said.
"Amen to that." Jason said. They all filed out to work.

One month until this baby is here! Hard to tell who's more excited!? They both have good reason to be over the pregnancy, it just keeps getting tougher for both of them. I think the support system Clay has from his guys is helping a lot.
