3 weeks later.
Nicole's eyes slowly opened up as she felt Clay spooning her, kissing her back and neck ever so gently.
"Mmm." She moaned in pleasure. He ran his hand up her thigh and rested it on her belly.
"Good morning beautiful." He whispered in her ear. She smiled and rolled over to face him.
"Hi" she smirked and let him kiss her softly. He ran his hand up and down her back gently.
"Gee wonder what you want..." she said and started to run her hand down his side. Clay blushed and slid his hand down to her butt. She kissed him and slipped her hand right into his boxers, playing with him.
"Ugh baby..." he moaned in her ear. She quivered at his sexy low voice.

When they were done Nicole drank her tea while she made a grocery list.
"Babe can you get more water?" Clay asked as he was getting ready to do on a run.
"Ugh I just got some." She said.
"I know, that little pack though... that only lasts a week." He said.
"Those cases are too heavy for me Clay." She said and got up to go get dressed.
"I'm sorry...I'll go with you." He told her. She shrugged her shoulders not caring if he came or not.
"How soon till your ready? Can I go for my run and then when I get back we'll go?" He asked.
"Yeah I'll be 15 minutes." She said. He kissed her quick and left.

While they were in the snack aisle a man and kid approached.
"Mrs. Spenser?" He said. Nicole turned and recognized him right away. It was one of her students with their dad.
"Ava! Hi sweetie! Mr.Bones, how are you!? How's your summer!?" She asked enthusiastically.
"Good! When is your baby coming out?" She asked.
"Let's see...honey...?" Nicole was drawing a complete blank and looked at Clay. He always knew the date and time.
"It's the 29th." He said as he was looking at which trail mix he wanted.
"One week!" Nicole told Ava.
"Exciting times...good luck...we'll see you around." The dad said scooting Ava along. She stopped and gave Nicole a big hug before they left the aisle.
"I miss her. She was the sweetest. And her parents ugh. They loved me." Nicole said having a moment.
"Well I think Mr. Bones wants to jump your bones." Clay said and threw a box of cereal in the cart.
"Really Clay?" Nicole said cocking her head.
"What? He was totally checking you out." Clay told her.
"Huh!" She was appalled.
"You look good babe. More then good. What are the kids saying these days...um..." he leaned in to whisper it in her ear.
"Hot A-F." He said super creepy. She immediately busted out laughing and he joined her.

Later
Clay was grilling dinner out on the balcony, Nicole came out and watched, she was attracted to it.
"How much bribery would it take for you to have sex out here?" She asked seductively standing next to him. He looked at her surprised.
"Not much haha." He laughed and took a sip of his beer. Nicole raised her eyebrows and smirked.
"Let's eat first?" Clay asked. Nicole winked at him, and walked off with purpose. Clay watched and thought she was the best thing that's ever happened to him. She left him smiling.

After dinner and after sex on the balcony they were both tired and went to bed.
At 9:30 Nicole got up to pee and she was hungry. She started out of the bedroom.
"Nicole?" Clay asked just catching her leave the room.
"I'm hungry." She said and left him in the room. He laid back down but then Nicole came back in the room.
"I think I'm having contractions." She said.
"What!?" He sat up.
"I felt them in my sleep but only like 3 times." She told him.
"So what do we do!?" Clay was a little flustered.
"Wait until they're closer together. It could be nothing. I never had Braxton Hicks...maybe that's this." She said.
"Yeah I mean, we still got a week..." Clay reminded. Nicole obviously knew that and went back out to get a snack. Clay got up with her and sat on the couch.
A couple minutes later Clay was sleeping on the couch. She went back in the room to sleep in the bed.
An hour later...
"Honey can you go get me a McDonald's salad." Nicole whined getting out of bed to tell Clay on the couch (he was out cold sleeping)
"Clay...huh..." she waited for him to wake up and acknowledge her.
"Clay!" She was frustrated.
"What babe?" He came to life and asked flustered.
"Can you get me a salad from McDonalds?" She asked rubbing her stomach, uncomfortable.
"For real?" He asked.
"Yes. I can't eat at the hospital so..." she said.
"I thought you said it's not labor?" He asked.
"I don't think it is but just in case." She said. He got up and put on his boots. Nicole was having another "contraction" and holding onto the wall to breath through it.
"I don't know baby...I don't wanna leave you alone..." he was scared.
"Go." She demanded and he went. She couldn't sleep with these going on what was now every 8ish minutes.
He drove as fast as he could there and back. She was on the phone with her doctor when he came home. He set the salad in-front of her and waited for her to get off the phone.
"Okay. So if my water breaks or they're closer to 5 minutes apart we need to go to the hospital." She told him.
"What are they now?" He asked.
"8." She said and opened the salad.
"Huh okay..." Clay was way more panicked then Nicole was. As she just sat on the stool and nonchalantly ate a salad. She could sense Clays stress. He started massaging her shoulders.
"Honey...relax." She told him.
"I am...you don't think having sex twice today had anything to do with it do you?" He asked.
"Doctor said it can induce labor so maybe." She said chewing. Clay was so nervous for this, he couldn't comprehend this baby was coming sooner then he thought.
Nicole finished the salad and headed to relax on the couch. Clay offered to rub her feet or back.
Swoosh*
Her water broke all over the floor.
"Huh!" It scared her.
"Did you pee!?" He asked her, she stood still and started laughing.
"No! Haha it's my water! It's baby time!" She said excited. Clay stared at her and the puddle. He was shocked and unprepared for this.
————
YES THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME! Who's excited to see these two with a little baby girl!? Clay just made me laugh this chapter, he's practically been to war and is freaking out over contractions...hilarious.
