Week 26

Dave sat on the couch staring into the fire as Ireland sat on his lap gnawing on her hand. Dave bounced his leg causing Ireland to bounce. She giggled wildly until she started to yawn.

"Getting tired, Pumpkin?" He asked, cradling her in his arms. She was getting big and heavy for this. He still couldn't believe she was almost a year old. But soon they would have a brand new baby. Dave still couldn't believe it He was going to be the father of two girls. The Malucci women. The men around Chicago wouldn't be let within ten feet of them. Ireland's eyes started to get heavy.

"Dave, can you cone here for a minute?" Randi yelled form the upstairs bathroom.

"Yeah. Let me lay Landsie down." He said getting up. Ireland closed her eyes and snuggled against Dave's chest. He walked up the stairs and into Ireland's nursery. "Sleep tight, Pumpkin. I'll check on you later." He kissed her soft brown hair before he walked out. He went into the bedroom and found Randi sitting on the bed in her towel. She had just come from the bathtub. Her wet hair clung to her neck and shoulders. Water droplets dripped down her arms. The sight of her stirred everything up inside of Dave.

"Oh, there you are." Randi smiled, "The muscles in my legs are starting again."

"You need to be drinking more milk." Dave said kneeling down in front of her.

"I feel like I've drank a whole cow." Randy moaned. Dave chuckled taking her foot in his hand.

"I know sweetie. Let me massage your legs and release some of the tension." Randi smiled softly and lay down on the bed.

"I have an order that needs to be out in the morning." She said as Dave massaged her ankle.

"Get it all packaged and I will get it to the post office." He said massaging her foot.

"Thanks." She moaned. Dave chuckled as he continued to massage his wife's feet. Her toes curled as he massaged her. Dave's eyes kept drifting up to the towel. He could see water dripping down her thighs. Dave cleared his throat. Her moans weren't helping his excitement any.

Dave's hands crept up higher, massaging lightly behind her knee. Randi drew in a deep breath. He leaned over and kissed her knee. She moaned again, but this time it was filled with lust. The towel started to come undone. Dave's hands caressed Randi's thighs. She groaned again parting her legs.

He could smell how excited she was. Dave kissed her thighs as the towel came undone. He groaned. His wife turned him on so much, but right now he wanted to please her. Dave nudged his nose close to her pubic hair causing Randi to shudder. Her hand caressed her own stomach until it went into Dave's hair.

"Please." Randi whispered. Dave snaked his tongue out into her lips. The taste of her drove him wild. He slid his hands up and parted her lips with his fingers. He started to lap at her juices. Randi writhed on the bed. Small moans and groans squeaked out of her. He sucked her hooded pearl into his mouth. Randi's arched her back off of the mattress. "Oh fuck!!"

Dave smiled letting his fingers play against her slit. She arched her hips, trying to pull his fingers in. Dave sucked on her clit harder finally sliding two pumping fingers into her. Her whole body shivered.

"Faster." She moaned. "I'm gonna come." He wanted to feel her body quiver around his fingers. He pumped his fingers faster and sucked on her clit harder. Randi cried out loudly and arched her back off of the mattress. Her muscles clamped down on his fingers as her orgasm tore through her.

"OH GOD! OH GOD!" She cried out loudly. Dave drank the juices that flowed from his wife. She tasted better than the finest wine. This was the woman he loved. Randi finally slowed down. She panted, licking her lips. Dave smiled crawling back up to her.

"Did that massage make you feel better?" He asked. Randi chuckled as she nodded her head.

"Oh yes." She whispered, "So much better."

Week 28

Randi slowly turned in the bed. She hadn't been sleeping well all night. Having Dave at work didn't help her any. She slowly opened her eyes and inhaled deeply. Lyric was very active that night. Randi rubbed her hands over her bump as a Braxton Hicks contraction entered her. Randi groaned loudly as she sat up. She just breathed her way through it.

"Lyric, we have twelve weeks left. Just go to sleep and behave baby." She mumbled. Another small contraction tore through her body. Randi clenched her teeth, "Oh god." This was not a Braxton Hicks contraction. Randi moaned loudly feeling a liquid between her legs. It was clear and sticky. She wasn't sure if it was her water breaking or not. She grabbed the phone from her bedside and dialed the hospital's number. "Jerry…Please can I speak with Dave?…Thanks." Randi closed her eyes tightly.

"Hey, Baby. Why are you calling so late?" He asked.

"I think…My water broke." She whispered. Dave's blood stood still.

"No it didn't. You have twelve weeks." He said, "It didn't break."

"I h-had two contractions, Dave." She whispered, "C-Come home. Please."

"I'm o my way." He said hanging up the phone. Randi dropped the phone, caressing her stomach. Tears streamed down her face.

"Please, Lyric. Please go back t sleep and be good." She whispered, "I'm your mother. You're suppose to listen to me." Another contraction coursed through her body. Every minute that went by, even more fear swelled inside of Randi. She slowly pulled herself out of bed. There definitely was a liquid between her legs. Randi's body trembled as she walked to Ireland's nursery.

Randi slid to the ground leaning against Ireland's crib. She rocked back and forth hoping this was just a nightmare. A horrible terrible nightmare. She heard the car pull up in the driveway and Dave run into the house. He didn't hesitate. He ran upstairs and found Randi.

"Come on." He helped her up. Randi was now sobbing into his chest. Dave scooped Ireland up and they started going down the stairs. Their family had been through so much recently, Ireland's sickness, the pool incident, way too much. Dave helped the sobbing Randi into the car and slipped Ireland into her car seat. "Coburn is waiting for us in the ER." Randi just sat there sobbing into her hands. Within ten minutes and two contractions, they were at county. Abby helped Randi from the wheel chair and she was rushed in.

"Let e take Ireland." Kerry said, "You be with your wife." Dave nodded absently and walked to the exam room where Randi was. Coburn was examining her.

"It's too early!!" Randi sobbed. Dave bit his lip as he sat down next to her.

"We're giving her magnesium to try to stop these contractions." Janet said, "You are leaking your fluid."

"M-Make it stop." Randi sobbed, "Pl-Please."

"Randi, you need to calm down." Janet sad, "You're making this worse by stressing." Dave cradled Randi in his arms. He couldn't loose Lyric. He couldn't handle it. Janet and the nurses worked on Randi for the next hour. Her contractions had lessened.

"I'm so scared Dave." Randi whispered.

"So am I." Dave said, "But God won't let anything happen to Lyric."

"I can't loose her." Randi said, "W-We can't loose her."

"You won't." Janet said walking in, "Everything is looking okay. I do want to keep you here for a day or two. You're severely dehydrated. We're going to be pumping you with fluids."

"She's all right?" Randi asked.

"For now." Janet said. "When you get home you need to drink a lot more water, no exercising, no heavy lifting, and I want you on strict bed rest. I know you have a baby at home, but for the health of this one, you need to stay in bed. We have twelve weeks left and she needs to stay in there as long as possible."

"Bed rest…" Randi sighed and nodded, "I want what's best for Lyric."

"Dr. Malucci, you'll need to help out even more than you already are." She said. Dave nodded.

"Done." He said.

"Try to get some rest Randi. I will be back in an hour to check on you." Janet patted Randi's leg and walked out of the room. Randi exhaled.

"Where's Ireland?" She whispered. Dave chuckled rubbing his chin.

"Chief offered to take her." He said. Randi couldn't help but to chuckle.

"I see." She said, "At least I can get some sleep." She said closing her eyes. Dave smiled softly, pushing back her hair. When will they have a good week? Dave was going to start greying soon if his girls kept this game up. Randi was on bed rest. That would mean fewer hours at work for him and less money coming in. She could still sew, but things were still going to be tight.
