Chapter 18: Huge, Hot, and Horny
Liz blasted the air-conditioning in Todd's SUV. She fanned herself with a magazine. It was July smack dab in the middle of the dog days. And the heat was unbearable. To make matters worse the air conditioner in their house had given out. It had been Saturday when it happened, and were told that they wouldn't be able to get a repair man until the following week. So they were stuck. They had decided to get out of the house. Liz would have done anything to get out. They decided to go to a restaurant with air-conditioning and a movie. Liz didn't really care anymore about what people thought when they saw her pregnant. She was too hot to care. The other thing that was making this weather so unbearable for her was that she was eight months pregnant and huge. She was finding it hard to breath and had to pee every 10 minutes. Liz had back pains when she stood too long and her feet and ankles fell to sleep when she sat. Her ankles and wrists also swelled along with her belly. Even though Todd insisted she was still beautiful she didn't believe him. She felt ugly and horrible. Todd and Liz still hadn't found out the sex of the baby and it was coming down to the wire. Todd seemed to think though it was a boy. Mrs. Wakefield had designed a nursery for them which would be perfect for either sex. Since it was Todd's choice to wait on finding the out the sex Elizabeth was going to make him do all the shopping once the baby was born. She felt a strong kick. It was amazing that the baby had switched from small flutters to massive kicks that could be seen from outside her belly. The baby even had a pattern now. Usually it would start moving right after meals and to loud noises. It also
had a response to music. Most of all when Liz was ready for bed, the baby wasn't. It would keep her up kicking and moving positions. The baby kicked again, this time Liz saw a little bump come out through her thin cotton maternity t-shirt; even the baby was protesting the heat! she thought.
Todd pulled into their track and tried to take the turn extra sow- so not to tick off Liz. He shivered ever so slightly. Ya it was still pretty warm, and mainly humid, outside, since it was about 8 o'clock now, but the combo of the air conditioning hitting him full blast mixed with the wind hitting him from the open windows, well....he wasn't quite as warm as Liz was. They'd gone out to an early dinner so that Todd could get Liz out of the house so that she could stop complaining about the broken air conditioning, and he was so relieved when she agreed to stay out longer for a movie. The movie had been alright- except for the fact that he had had to help Liz get up 4 different times so that she could go to the restroom. Todd pulled into their driveway- with a little bit of a bump from the incline, and turned of off the engine. "Home
sweet home" he said brightly.
Liz groaned just thinking about going into the house. But she opened the door. "Can you help me?" she asked waiting for Todd to get out. She was full from the popcorn and dinner and whatever else she had that Todd had brought her. She had eaten so much tonight, and so many different things- she couldn't even specify them anymore.
"Ya ya, of course" Todd said, "Just stay put" he told her as he hopped out of his side and slammed the door behind him. He jogged over to Liz's side and opened up her door and offered her his hand to help.
Liz took his hand stepping out of the car. She knew one thing when she was done, she would be happy to be able to get out of a car without Todd helping her. And it wasn't even done yet. She put her feet firmly on the ground and closed the door. Todd and her both walked up to the front door. Even though it was 8 at night, it was still unbearable to be outside.
"Liz you want me to open up the sliding glass door so you can sit out in the backyard?" Todd suggested, thinking it was a good idea, since Liz was feeling so warm. " I could bring you your book."
"Lets see how warm the house is first, maybe there is a breeze inside," she said. But she doubted it. There wasn't even the slightest wind when standing still. She unlocked the door and stepped inside. She groaned. Inside was not much better. She headed straight for the bedroom stripping her clothes laying down on the bed with just her underwear on.
Todd stayed back in the kitchen, struggling to open up the window above the sink, which had a tendency to stick. "I'll go and open up all the windows in the house sweetheart" he called to her, finally getting that one to open. Ya it was humid and there was no wind, but Todd didn't think it was unbearable inside of their house right now. But he knew Liz probably was, so that meant he'd have to bear it.
Liz groaned to herself again, frustrated with her husband, and well, everything and everyone, actually. All the windows were already open. She had opened them all right before she left, except the kitchen one. She yelled to Todd, "Turn on the fans," she said.
"Oh, oh right" Todd yelled back. "Ok, no problem babe." Todd went and turned on all the ceiling fans in the various rooms, then he turned on all of the portable ones that they had set up. They'd borrowed a couple portable fans from both sets of their parents, and Todd felt like he was standing outside on a cold, blustery, windy September day right now. Todd shivered again and then walked into the bedroom, where he saw Liz sprawled out on the bed in just her underwear." He involuntarily laughed at the sight of her. She looked so- well pathetic. But his heart of course went out to her. "Ahhhh, can I get you anything sweetheart?" he asked, her, standing over her, and in doing so, was accidentally blocking the wind currents from the portable fan that was supposed to be hitting her which was sitting on top of their dresser.
"Yea get out of my fan wind," she said. This was horrible she thought to herself. The worst of it was Todd had jeans on and a t-shirt and looked to be COLD! Was he that cold blooded or was it just her. Liz finally gave up. She tried pulling herself up to a sitting position but she just plopped back down, she tried again to no avail. Finally she looked at Todd expectantly.
"Sorry" Todd had apologized, although for what he wasn't exactly sure, but it seemed like the right thing to say, then quickly move out of her way. He stepped out of his shoes was only half kinda watching Elizabeth. But her frustrated grunts caught his attention. "Here, let me help you" he said on her third try. "Where do you want to go?" he asked her, bending down and supporting her back as he helped pull her up with his arms, so that she was sitting. "Here I'll put a pillow behind you" he offered.
" Was just going to reach for that remote," she said pointing to the remote that lay on the nightstand two feet away. but she couldn't reach with her arms so she would have had to get up.
"Oh here let me get it for you." Todd sad once she was in a stable sitting position, with two pillows helping to support her. Todd moved to the other side and grabbed the remote, and handed it to her. "Do you want anything else?" he asked her, since he had plans to hop in the shower, with some warm water to heat up.
"Yea I'm kinda hungry, could you get me some pickles?" Liz said She turned on the TV to the weather channel. She was hoping it was going to be cooler tomorrow.
Todd made a face- he hated pickles. "Umm ya. Sure" Todd said. "I thought you were stuffed from all that popcorn" he teased. At least, that's what he had thought, since she had complained in the car ride
home that she was incredibly stuffed.
But the look on her face that she just shot him told him that that had been the wrong thing to say.
"I want peanut butter too" she told him, her eyebrows raised, challenging him to make another crack. "That too difficult an order for you?"
Todd just cleared his throat. "Sure. I mean no. I-" he paused, confused as to what the correct answer was. "Peanut Butter. And- pickles" he said, moving to the door.
The look at least faded from her usually angelic looking face. "Yea," Liz said, "And grab some of those soy chips," she said leaning back against the pillow as she waited for Todd to return.
Todd tried not to gag as he walked back out to the kitchen. He didn't even realize that they had ANY soy chips. He didn't even know exactly what they were! But sure enough, 5 minutes later after rummaging around in the kitchen for them, and after 1 complaint from Liz that he was taking too long, he walked back to the bedroom and handed Liz the jar of JIF peanut butter, the glass jar of those wretched Vlasic pickles, and the box of soy chips. "Anything else- sweetheart?" he asked her smiling more though his teeth than through the goodness of his heart.
She looked up from stuffing her face greedily. Liz looked at Todd smiling, she had caught his tone and knew he was lying though his teeth. "Yea you could strip all you clothes for me," she said.
Todd's attention was caught. "Excuse me?" he asked her, confused. "Where did that come from? Anyway- " he said, starting to turn, "enjoy your" he cringed, as he thought of the disgustingness of it, "meal, and I'm gonna go take a shower to try and warm up." Todd headed towards the bathroom.
Liz thought about this for a moment as she dipped a pickled in her peanut butter and put it together with the soy chip. She could really use the shower, and she was sure she smelled. She raised her arm smelling under her arms, yep she did. She also realized she could cool down
with the water. The cold water would feel good against her overheated skin. "Wait," she said trying as fast as she could to get up. But it was quite hard since she did have that huge gut in front of her. But she wobbled into the bathroom, "I'll join you," she said to Todd.
Todd had already turned the water on- HOT, and had taken his shirt and pants off and was just getting ready to take his boxer briefs off when he saw the door to the bathroom suddenly open quickly as Liz wobbled through the opening. He looked up at her, confused. "What are you doing? I thought you were all settled in bed and eating your pickles and peanut butter?" he asked her, confused by her strange behavior.
"I thought I could use the shower to cool off a bit," she turned the setting to cool watching the hot steam disappear.
Todd groaned inwardly to himself as he watched his precious steam leave the bathroom. Now was really cold- standing in the cool bathroom with the window open and with cold water running standing there in
his skivvies. Then he groaned out loud, reminding himself that no matter how uncomfortable he was- Liz was even more so. "Fine" he said, gathering up his jeans and shirt, "Go ahead and take yours first. And feel
free to use up all the cold water" he told her.
"Why waste the water at all, join me," she said appraising Todd's body. At least his body hadn't changed at all. She, on the other hand, was even worse then the Pillsbury doughboy. Todd looked exactly as she remembered him, tall, muscular, tan, and completely handsome. "Come on it'll be fun. I'll keep you warm," she said flirtatiously.
All of a sudden Todd felt much more uncomfortable standing there than he did cold. Why was his wife leering at him like that, and why did he feel so uncomfortable as she did so? Todd's skin started to crawl and shiver all at once as his very scantily clad, very very large wife stood there in front of the shower. "Uh, no that's ok" he told her moving to the door with his clothes balled up in his hands. "But you'd better hurry with yours, or I just might eat all of your soy chips and-" he paused, "pickles" he said cringing. Man he couldn't even say the word without cringing!
"Come on Todd! Where's your sense of fun!" she stripped her underwear and climbed in the shower. Instantly the cold water ran over her and she felt better. She turned the water back to warm and beckoned Todd back over, "I promise I won't take advantage of you," she said laughing. Just months ago it would have been the other way around. Usually Todd was the one who was trying to initiate something.
Todd was a bit unnerved by Elizabeth's brazenness and flirtatiousness. He just didn't think it was right for and eight month pregnant woman to be that way- but maybe that was just him. Todd had a sense of fun, and usually that would include a shower for two with his wife. But not like this. No under these- conditions...... Still, he and Liz hadn't done much lately. She was just to big, and it would of been uncomfortable, and, ya, Todd wasn't totally turned on at the thought of fking his wife while her very large belly stood between them. So they hadn't had much of a sex life the past couple of months, and believe it or not, Todd had been kinda ok with that. He shook his head as he watched her play with the nozzle, "Nah it's ok Liz." he said, opening up the bathroom door all the way.
"Is it because I'm FAT!" Liz said snidely, "Your so shallow Todd! You know, my mother warned me about this. People might see me different, but I didn't think that would include you!" She shut the curtain with a snap. She started crying softly. Everything was ruined because of this stupid baby she thought. She could barely concentrate at work cause she was either hungry or had to go to the bathroom. She could barely go out of the house anymore, and now even her husband didn't want to look at her.
Todd tossed his clothes onto the bed and sighed as he heard Elizabeth's accusations, followed by her crying. He couldn't stand it when
she cried. He never had been able to listen to it. He walked back into the bathroom. "Liz, honey" he said to her, trough the piece of plastic that separated them, "I never said I thought you were fat honey."
"You implied it! You won't even take a shower with me and that used to be your favorite thing," Liz said, "And now you won't even look at me that way anymore! We haven't even had sex in almost two months!"
Todd scratched his head. God had it been that long? Sheesh. He was impressed with himself. "Liz of course I still look at you that way" Todd pleaded his case. Ya not having sex with his wife in such a long time certainly hadn't been fun- but he'd been ok with it, since she was, getting, um large, and he just didn't happen to have strong sexual desires to do her like that. And he thought that Liz didn't really have those strong sexual desires either, being pregnant and all. "Sweetie you're beautiful." He said, trying to get her to stop crying. God all he had wanted to do was take a shower! And Liz had been laying in bed eating! How did it get to this? "Honey you're even more beautiful since I can see that you're carrying my child." he told her, rubbing his head.
"Well then get in here with me and show me," she said crossing her arms. She doubted Todd would. It wasn't that she hadn't wanted sex its just that she didn't think Todd would so she hadn't pushed it. But now she was having some of those feelings that she needed him, and he was denying her. Put that on top of constantly changing extreme hormones and Liz was developing a complex. "Please Todd I feel crappy right now, IT would be nice to know that you sympathize with me,"
Todd groaned very softly. She was backing him into a corner. If he rejected her now he'd probably be in the doghouse with her for a day or so. And he didn't think either he nor Liz need that right now. "Fineeeeee" Todd said sighing. So he'd hop in the freezing cold shower with his wife, catch hypothermia, but at least he wouldn't be hurting her feelings. "Just a quick shared shower though, ok?" he warned her, as he pulled off his boxer briefs and walked to the closed curtain.
Liz turned the water to warm now. Since she had cooled off she might as well make it comfortable for him. So opened the curtain a crack to
let him down. She watched him closely. It had been awhile since she had seen him naked. But she hadn't forgotten how hot he looked.
Todd tried to ignore her eyes. He grabbed her shampoo bottle, trying to get this done as quickly as possible. Without realizing- or caring really- he squirted some of Elizabeth's girly fragranced shampoo into his palms, lathered it good in his hands, then promptly handed Elizabeth that shampoo bottle. Then he brought both of his hands to his hair and began washing it.
Liz set her shampoo bottle down and started running her hands over Todd's body. She massaged his upper arms feeling them get tense, "Will you relax!" she said pointedly. She then worked her hands down . . .down. . .down to Todd's jewels. With his hands soapy and in his hair he really had no way of defending himself. She bit her lip in a wicked smile.
Todd jumped slightly as he felt Elizabeth's hands cup and fondle him. And his stupid hands were in his hair. "Liz...." he said in a shaky, warning tone as he took a little step back, and let the spray hit his hair to get rid of the shampoo that was currently getting in his eyes and stinging because he felt he needed to keep them open to keep an eye on Liz and her wandering hands.
"What?" Liz laughed mischievously. But she didn't give up. She continued to feel him up. She hadn't done this in a long time and she was definitely feeling horny.
Todd's breathing stated to become a little uneven. He squeezed his eyes shut for a second as he felt Elizabeth take him in her hand then wrapped her fingers around him. He felt her take step closer and her large belly grazed him. He opened up his eyes again. She had this look in her eyes that almost made Todd afraid. Man she was coming on strong! Todd brought his hands away from his rinsed hair. Screw the conditioner. He grabbed the bar of soap and started rubbing it roughly against his upper arms, then raised one to get his armpit. "Better start Liz or all the hot water is going to be gone" he heard himself saying as he was acutely aware of where Elizabeth's hand was.
Liz missed his hint about taking the shower. She thought he meant start the sex. She worked on him a bit harder. She started to feel a bit of stiffness but Todd still didn't seem to be into it. He was acting so incredibly uptight about all this!
Todd groaned a little more loudly now, unable to resist his reaction to what she was doing. "Liz, I don't...Let's not" he heard himself weakly saying to her as he closed his eyes, tilted his head up, and had the water spray hit him directly in the face. He squeezed the soap in his hand, and his other hand went to have his palm again the shower wall.
"Todd lets, I read about how to do this, we can do it, and I'm so hot right now for you, please do this for me!" She then kissed him on the lips with so much passionate. It must have been all the pent up frustration that she had been experiencing in the last few months.
Todd felt his resolution wither but his erection got bigger. She was begging him..... Another groan escaped Todd's lips as he put the soap blindly back to where it was kept then brought that hand to her lower back just above her bottom.
Liz wrapped her arms around Todd's neck pulling him closer, well as close as he could get with her belly in the way. She cursed this phase of pregnancy. She continued to kiss him passionately. She felt his growing erection. She was about ready to pull him closer when she felt the baby give a swift kick. Todd must have felt it cause he stopped kissing her for a moment.
Todd was having a shortness of breath as he and Elizabeth were kissing. And her big belly was poking him and his big erection was poking her and-! What was that? Todd pulled his lips back from Elizabeth and then looked down between them and then looked up at Elizabeth, a look of question, uncertainty, uneasiness, surprise, in his eyes.
"Sorry that was just the baby kicking, it's fine, don't stop!" she said grabbing him again. She couldn't really get her pelvic area close enough to Todd since her belly was in the way but she brought his hand down there wanting him to massage her and make her feel good. She needed it desperately.
Ok, now Todd was definitely wierded out by this. And a little indignant. Who did the baby think they were- kicking him away like that?!
He heard the desperation in Elizabeth's voice as she asked him for this and under an other circumstances he probably would've laughed at this whole situation. Todd- being drawn more by his penis probably then his brain, started stroking her with her guiding hand remaining on top of his.
Liz groaned instantly. She had read in her many pregnancy books that during pregnancy there was increased blood flow to the vagina and uterus which could bring enhanced sexual pleasure. It was true she thought.
Ohhhhhh was it true. Todd's hands barely touched her but she was already feeling pleasure.
God she was ripe, Todd realized as he continued stroking her, prodding her slickness gently with his finger, feeling her bud open up already. Man she was definitely good to go, in record time Todd though. Usually even he didn't reach that peak that quickly. Todd groaned and pressed his erection against the side of her stomach. "Liz what do you want?" he said through a groan and gasp.
Liz turned around so her back was facing him. She bent her knees ever so slightly and put her arms on the wall for support "I'm ready," she said simply waiting for him to enter her.
Todd nodded as he watched her turn around. He drew in a deep breath then stepped right behind her, placing both his hands on her hips to help him for support so he could enter her from behind. She was ready, she had said. Oh boy, was she ever. Todd held onto her hips and entered her from behind, trying to will himself to go very slowly. He wasn't sure if he actually was or not though.
Liz moaned. Todd was going slowly and it was torturing her- in a good way of course. But it felt good. "Keep going," she was able to get out before screaming in pleasure. This back entry was hitting all of her erogenous places.
Todd grunted. She sure wasn't helping to keep him in check. He didn't want to go to fast, he wanted to be sure to be careful, "I don't want to get to deep, I don't want it to be uncomfortable" he said weekly.
Liz felt her breath catch in her thought. Then she felt herself climaxing. That was fast, she thought to herself. Usually it took at least 5 minutes. She clenched her fists screaming in pleasure. She said Todd's name over and over as her legs began to weaken and her entire body was under a rush of attack of pure pleasure..
Todd willed himself go and make sure to be extra careful- not wanting to cause Elizabeth the slightest amount of pain or discomfort- and judging from her response- he was only causing her pleasure. Todd kept one hand firmly planted on her hip as he continued to thrust inside of her, feeling his own release building up and up and up. Todd used his other hand and brought it to Elizabeth's chest and fondled her breasts as he rocked their bodies back and forth with his powerful legs and pelvic area. With Liz facing the shower wall, Todd's back was facing the target of the shower spray, and it was hitting his back and spraying all around.
Liz stood perfectly still. But her whole body seemed to be moving inside of her. She felt huge tingles go through her body. Her vagina walls contracted over Todd's member. If she was supposed to have pain during this, she couldn't feel it. All she was experiencing was pure pleasure.
Todd held himself perfectly still inside of her as she was going through her trembling- apparently experiencing quite an orgasm.. Maybe it was cause they were doing it in the shower, or maybe it was cuz they were using this technique, or maybe it was cuz they hadn't done this in a few months due to her condition- but they were obviously both getting the most out of this. A few seconds after he felt Elizabeth's wall calm down and her screams subsided Todd went ahead and groaned as he thrust a few more times and released himself in her, spilling into her already filled womb. Todd's hands were still on her hip and across her chest, and his mouth was near her ear and he was panting, trying to get a hold of his regular breathing. Todd just kind of stood there and allowed them to come down from their orgasms as the water pounded against his back.
Liz felt Todd's thrusting stop and he groaned long a hard. She could feel his breath right on his ear. She stepped away from him withdrawing. She turned around looking at him. They were both breathing hard and raspy. She kissed him tenderly. Thank you," she said smiling and hugging him. She started to feel the baby move with great force. It must have been protesting she thought. She laughed silently to herself. For once she was satisfying her happiness and not the baby's.
Todd felt Elizabeth's arms draped around his shoulders and his breathing was still struggling to get back to normal, although Elizabeth's seemed to have returned to normal. Guys sure could start things quickly and girls sure could end them quickly. Yet another difference between men and women. Whew! Ya that had been good, he thought to himself. Todd brought both of his hands to her hips again, although this time it was a little different, since she was facing him. They certainly hadn't done that in a while. And now her large stomach was between them, it was pressing against Todd slightly, and he felt and saw her stomach move. Todd nuzzled the side of his face to Elizabeth's damp forehead, and there was a stringy wet piece of hair sticking to it. "Think the baby is ticked about having to share it's space with me" he asked her with a smile, as the water continued to pelt him.
Liz giggled, "Well that's it's problem!" She kissed him. She grabbed her shampoo and started washing her hair. Her back was starting to hurt again from standing to long and she was hungry again. She quickly rinsed out the soap and grabbed the conditioner.
Todd breathed in through his nose, nodded with a smile, then let go of Elizabeth's hips and turned around the other way so that the spray could hit his front and wash him off. Todd rinsed, then ran his fingers through Elizabeth's long and wet hair which had just been rinsed of the conditioner. "You won" he told her simply, running his fingers through it. "You took advantage of me......in front of the baby." The small smile was playing on his lips.
Liz rolled her eyes. "I didn't take advantage of you! You let me, so therefore it doesn't count" She grabbed her lotion and her body wash and quickly washed her body. She finished and turned the water off. She stepped out grabbing and towel and her robe.
Todd held her arm for her as she gingerly and carefully stepped out of the shower. You could never be to careful, Todd thought. He stepped out after her and rubbed himself down with a fluffy towel, and was downright shivering. His body was wet and the windows were all still open and the fans were still blowing; he would have asked Liz if maybe they could turn the fans off or something but he was actually kind of afraid to. He'd live with it, he supposed. Todd wrapped the towel around his waist as he grabbed his toothbrush and brushed his teeth, as Goosebumps formed on his arms.
Liz wrapped her robe around her and went into the bedroom. She put on a thin cotton tank top shirt and some maternal shorts for bed. She was still hot so she didn't want to get overheated. She went back into the bathroom and grabbed her hairbrush and started combing through her hair.
Todd finished up in the bathroom, still shivering. He accidentally walked in font of the fan and just about died. He bent down on his knees in front of the bottom drawer of the dresser, and began rummaging through it. "Were you able to sign up for the class today?" Todd asked Liz, as he rifled through their "stored" winter clothes which they kept down there when it wasn't the season.
Liz nodded, "Yeah I went down to the community center and signed up for a Lamaze class that starts next week, It's like 5:30 to 7 so I won't have to worry about missing work and most of your workshop meetings for coaching should be over, right?"
Todd nodded which his back to her, "Good, I'm glad you were able to get that time." There! he found it! Todd pulled out his red and gray flannel pajama set that he was pretty sure he hadn't seen since December. "So how many days a week is it?" he asked her as he started buttoning up the top part of it.
"The class is Monday, Wednesday and Friday for three weeks, hopefully by the time its over I can get rid of this," Liz said referring to her huge belly. She looked at what Todd had pulled out of the drawer, "You're going to wear THAT?" she asked in disbelief.
Todd turned his head to her as he finished buttoning up, his eyes wide and innocent. "Ya...why? What's wrong with this?" he asked her as he pulled the flannel pajama bottom up under his towel, then walked with the towel in hand back to the bathroom, to hang it up. "Hey Liz I' not certain but Wednesday's might be tough for me to get to." he said to her on his way there.
"Todd its the middle of summer! You look ridiculous and you don't need flannel pajamas!" Liz said incredulously. "Anyways I already knew that and I talked with Jess and she said she would come with me since you know she's going to be in the delivery room anyway she might not want any surprises."
"What!?" Todd interjected, as he just casually threw his towel into the bathroom. He stood with his hands on hip flannel covered hips. "Jessica's gonna be where?"
"In the hospital, in the delivery room, where the baby is born." Liz said very slowly over-pronouncing each word.
Todd clenched his jaw as he heard Liz's smart ass response. "Umm, this is news to me. Since when is Jessica going to be in the delivery room too?" he demanded as he walked back over to the dresser and fished around in the top drawer for some socks to cover his feet with.
"Since she was my twin and I need her to help me bear the pain," Liz said matter-of-factly. "Besides I read in all my pregnancy books that when you have a natural birth its best to have a woman give a helping hand by holding your hand and giving encouragement. I need her for support baby." She then shrugged, thinking that was the end of this.
Todd spun round, socks in hand. She needed Jess to help bear the pain? What? That was physically impossible- it was hooky! It didn't make sense! "Umm, maybe for natural birth- like back in the olden days when woman gave birth in log cabins and they needed other woman around to help with the birth and get towels and stuff" Todd retorted, waving his socks.
Liz sighed. Here they went again. "No many women use natural births, It is completely safe and is better for the mother and the baby, It will still be in the hospital so if anything does go wrong they are there, but besides that Natural will be a faster process and that's what I want. And besides, Jess is there for support-she's not a midwife, that's going to be someone else there," Liz said. She didn't know why Todd was getting so worked up about this. She could have sworn they had talked about this before- and settled it. And she was not about to give up on her position.
Todd looked at her, his eyes wide. She was acting like they had discussed this in the past and that Todd was being a nuisance for bringing it up. Well- they hadn't! Todd still didn't know why Liz was so fixated on making herself go through a natural birth, even though she had just explained it. Todd wished she would just not be so damn adamant against getting ANY help. He thought she was being stubborn, but, had kinda accepted it. This Jessica thing on the other hand- well, no way. Huh uh. "So let me get his straight" Todd said, leaning his elbow on the top of the dresser and putting his chin in his hand in an attempt to look- something. "Jessica is going to be there to help you with the pain." He ticked off his fingers. "Help support you. And hold your hand. Well gee I guess my part really did end eight months ago, didn't it?" he huffed then bent down to put his socks on.
"Well if that's how you want to look at it FINE!" Liz said her voice raising with frustration. She knew that wasn't true but she was getting fed up with him and she could already feel herself sweating again. "You planted the seed and now I don't need you anymore. Sure, why not" she tossed in sarcastically. "I'm going through natural birth whether you like it or not, or whether you are there or not, and Jess is going to be there, because I WANT her there," she added.
Todd stood back up again and crossed crossed his arms over his chest. "Well Liz you know it sounds like you're giving Jessica all of my responsibilities- responsibilities that I WANT. God it's freezing in here!" Todd exclaimed, visibly shivering.
"NO I'm not, I still need you for the same thing, but I want Jess there too because she's my sister and I don't know how to describe it, I just do!" she said, frustration seeping out. Liz rolled her eyes, "It is fricking hot in here so shut up."
Todd clenched his jaw again. Man, had just like ten minutes ago, he and Liz been doin' it doggy style in the shower? Geez she was so unreasonable, and didn't listen lately, and Todd attested it all to her pregnancy, because normal Elizabeth Wakefield-Wilkins was usually compassionate and well, NOT this way. "Well Liz, I'm the husband, I'm the dad, and I don't appreciate being pushed out of this event. Look I realize you an Jessica are close, but don't you think for this kind of even-
well, I should be CLOSER." Todd said stubbornly. "And I can't take another second of this god-damned fan being on!" he exclaimed, not exactly yelling, but more like venting his frustration, as he went over and
pushed the off bottom emphatically. It made a loud click.
Liz starred daggers at him, "How dare you make me choose between you and my sister," she said switching the fan back on. "You know my sister had a miscarriage and she wants to share this with me!"
"Well where exactly do I fall in this?" Todd demanded in a hurt voice.
"I'm not saying you are not going to be in the room, I'm just saying that Jess is going to be there too," she said, then clicked the fan back on high.
"And Liz I'm your husband, the father of this child your having, so if you ask me, well, even if I did, say, hypothetically ask you to choose, well I think the choice would be pretty obvious!"
"That's what YOU think," Liz said, keeping her hand covering the fan like a child so he couldn't turn it back off. "Just because you're the father does not give you total choice of whose in the room or not, It's my choice, 'cause its my body,"
Todd rolled his eyes. "You know, I really don't want to get back to that topic again" he remarked, since they had revisited it quite a few times in the past, when discussing her giving natural birth. Todd kind of gave a shake of the head slash glare of the eyes look at Liz, who was standing absurdly in front of the fan, guarding it. "I'm freezing my ass of, I'm going to bed" he huffed as he moved away, getting in on his side of the bed and laying on his back, pulling all of the covers up.
Liz followed suit and flopped on her side of the bed, her blood still seething. She decided to forgo the covers since she was still hot. She just laid on her back, staring at the ceiling, ignoring the person laying inches next to her. It was becoming harder and harder to find a comfortable position to sleep since her enormous stomach seemed to always get in the way. And now it was even causing fights. Liz sighed trying to let it go. She put her hand on her tummy. Right before bed the baby would always start kicking the most it seemed, right when she was ready for bed. But the baby was unusually quiet and still. It must have been the fight she thought. The baby wasn't used to hearing her raised voice or even Todd's. She pushed in on her stomach. This always aggravated the baby to start kicking back at her.
Since Todd was laying on his back too his peripheral vision cased him to see Elizabeth and what she was doing. "What are you doing? he grunted to her, his eyes still on the ceiling.
"I'm just trying to get the baby to move," she said. She pushed in a bit harder now, and instantly she felt a response. The baby pushed back. She smiled to herself. She couldn't wait to see the baby outside of her and she could actually play with the baby and just hold him or her in her arms lovingly.
"Oh" Todd said. And he caught her smile. Todd sighed. "I'm sorry, about what we were fighting about" he told her, shifting over to his side so that he was facing her, as he propped his head up on an elbow. And he realized right then that he really really was indeed sorry.
He put one of his hands on Elizabeth's huge and swollen stomach. Her beautiful stomach. For her to think he wasn't attracted to her like this- well, it really was absurd. Cuz he was. Insanely.
Liz looked at Todd pointedly, "I'm still having Jess in the delivery room though, I know you can't stand her but I'm sure you guys won't have time to fight anyways. The time leading up to that I won't even have to be in the bed if I don't want to," Liz felt the baby go into full swing like every night. She moved Todd's hand closer to her right side and held it there so he could feel it.
Todd sighed. "I don't HATE her." he admonished as he felt her move his hand. "I was just starting to feel left out" he admitted to her. Sometimes he was jealous of Elizabeth's and Jessica's relationship. Their closeness. Was it closer than he and Liz? Todd felt where Elizabeth guided his hand too and sure enough felt the baby kicking- just like every night. He hadn't ever admitted it to Liz, because he knew how much the baby doing this kept her up; but he looked forward to this every night.
"Todd your not going to be left out, trust me, and by the time it's through I'm sure you wish you were left out. I doubt it's going to be a quick one since it's only my first labor," she said trying to comfort him. She closed her eyes relaxing for the first time that day. But now that the baby started it would not stop. It didn't seem to get the concept of day and night. While it was always quiet during the day and morning it seemed to wake up like clockwork right before bed.
Todd told himself that that just wasn't true. He couldn't imagine that. He'd be there, supporting Elizabeth, through it all- no matter how long it was. He kept his hand on her stomach, still feeling the baby moving, and yet he saw Elizabeth's eyes were now closed. "I enjoyed our shower" he said to her, a small smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
Liz smiled back. "I thought you said I took advantage of you!" she joked. She rolled on her side so she was facing him. She ruffled his hair like a little five year old.
"Ya....." Todd said, liking her playfulness, "But I wanted you to...." he said to her. He gently massaged her stomach with his hand. "Just one more month Elizabeth.....one more month" he sighed in awe.
Liz smiled while nodding, "Ummm hmmm." She had grown used to falling asleep to the baby's movements and now since she was tired it was no different from any other night. She snuggled up to Todd feeling his freezing cold hands and his icy feet. Maybe he really was cold she thought as she drifted off to sleep.
Todd waited to fall asleep until Elizabeth did. He still kept his hand on her stomach, loving the feeling of his unborn child moving around. Man, one more month......and he was going to be a father. Todd then realized with stunning clarity that the mood swings and the short tempered-ness and the the him freezing to death to keep up with Elizabeth's hot flashes and the big belly and the disappearance of their sex life and Liz's weird horniness..... well, he was ok with all of it- because in the end he was going to get a child out of it. Todd removed his
hand and tucked himself back under the sheets and then snuggled back against Elizabeth. And while she might have been doing it for the comfort, poor Todd was doing it for the heat!
Liz blasted the air-conditioning in Todd's SUV. She fanned herself with a magazine. It was July smack dab in the middle of the dog days. And the heat was unbearable. To make matters worse the air conditioner in their house had given out. It had been Saturday when it happened, and were told that they wouldn't be able to get a repair man until the following week. So they were stuck. They had decided to get out of the house. Liz would have done anything to get out. They decided to go to a restaurant with air-conditioning and a movie. Liz didn't really care anymore about what people thought when they saw her pregnant. She was too hot to care. The other thing that was making this weather so unbearable for her was that she was eight months pregnant and huge. She was finding it hard to breath and had to pee every 10 minutes. Liz had back pains when she stood too long and her feet and ankles fell to sleep when she sat. Her ankles and wrists also swelled along with her belly. Even though Todd insisted she was still beautiful she didn't believe him. She felt ugly and horrible. Todd and Liz still hadn't found out the sex of the baby and it was coming down to the wire. Todd seemed to think though it was a boy. Mrs. Wakefield had designed a nursery for them which would be perfect for either sex. Since it was Todd's choice to wait on finding the out the sex Elizabeth was going to make him do all the shopping once the baby was born. She felt a strong kick. It was amazing that the baby had switched from small flutters to massive kicks that could be seen from outside her belly. The baby even had a pattern now. Usually it would start moving right after meals and to loud noises. It also
had a response to music. Most of all when Liz was ready for bed, the baby wasn't. It would keep her up kicking and moving positions. The baby kicked again, this time Liz saw a little bump come out through her thin cotton maternity t-shirt; even the baby was protesting the heat! she thought.
Todd pulled into their track and tried to take the turn extra sow- so not to tick off Liz. He shivered ever so slightly. Ya it was still pretty warm, and mainly humid, outside, since it was about 8 o'clock now, but the combo of the air conditioning hitting him full blast mixed with the wind hitting him from the open windows, well....he wasn't quite as warm as Liz was. They'd gone out to an early dinner so that Todd could get Liz out of the house so that she could stop complaining about the broken air conditioning, and he was so relieved when she agreed to stay out longer for a movie. The movie had been alright- except for the fact that he had had to help Liz get up 4 different times so that she could go to the restroom. Todd pulled into their driveway- with a little bit of a bump from the incline, and turned of off the engine. "Home
sweet home" he said brightly.
Liz groaned just thinking about going into the house. But she opened the door. "Can you help me?" she asked waiting for Todd to get out. She was full from the popcorn and dinner and whatever else she had that Todd had brought her. She had eaten so much tonight, and so many different things- she couldn't even specify them anymore.
"Ya ya, of course" Todd said, "Just stay put" he told her as he hopped out of his side and slammed the door behind him. He jogged over to Liz's side and opened up her door and offered her his hand to help.
Liz took his hand stepping out of the car. She knew one thing when she was done, she would be happy to be able to get out of a car without Todd helping her. And it wasn't even done yet. She put her feet firmly on the ground and closed the door. Todd and her both walked up to the front door. Even though it was 8 at night, it was still unbearable to be outside.
"Liz you want me to open up the sliding glass door so you can sit out in the backyard?" Todd suggested, thinking it was a good idea, since Liz was feeling so warm. " I could bring you your book."
"Lets see how warm the house is first, maybe there is a breeze inside," she said. But she doubted it. There wasn't even the slightest wind when standing still. She unlocked the door and stepped inside. She groaned. Inside was not much better. She headed straight for the bedroom stripping her clothes laying down on the bed with just her underwear on.
Todd stayed back in the kitchen, struggling to open up the window above the sink, which had a tendency to stick. "I'll go and open up all the windows in the house sweetheart" he called to her, finally getting that one to open. Ya it was humid and there was no wind, but Todd didn't think it was unbearable inside of their house right now. But he knew Liz probably was, so that meant he'd have to bear it.
Liz groaned to herself again, frustrated with her husband, and well, everything and everyone, actually. All the windows were already open. She had opened them all right before she left, except the kitchen one. She yelled to Todd, "Turn on the fans," she said.
"Oh, oh right" Todd yelled back. "Ok, no problem babe." Todd went and turned on all the ceiling fans in the various rooms, then he turned on all of the portable ones that they had set up. They'd borrowed a couple portable fans from both sets of their parents, and Todd felt like he was standing outside on a cold, blustery, windy September day right now. Todd shivered again and then walked into the bedroom, where he saw Liz sprawled out on the bed in just her underwear." He involuntarily laughed at the sight of her. She looked so- well pathetic. But his heart of course went out to her. "Ahhhh, can I get you anything sweetheart?" he asked, her, standing over her, and in doing so, was accidentally blocking the wind currents from the portable fan that was supposed to be hitting her which was sitting on top of their dresser.
"Yea get out of my fan wind," she said. This was horrible she thought to herself. The worst of it was Todd had jeans on and a t-shirt and looked to be COLD! Was he that cold blooded or was it just her. Liz finally gave up. She tried pulling herself up to a sitting position but she just plopped back down, she tried again to no avail. Finally she looked at Todd expectantly.
"Sorry" Todd had apologized, although for what he wasn't exactly sure, but it seemed like the right thing to say, then quickly move out of her way. He stepped out of his shoes was only half kinda watching Elizabeth. But her frustrated grunts caught his attention. "Here, let me help you" he said on her third try. "Where do you want to go?" he asked her, bending down and supporting her back as he helped pull her up with his arms, so that she was sitting. "Here I'll put a pillow behind you" he offered.
" Was just going to reach for that remote," she said pointing to the remote that lay on the nightstand two feet away. but she couldn't reach with her arms so she would have had to get up.
"Oh here let me get it for you." Todd sad once she was in a stable sitting position, with two pillows helping to support her. Todd moved to the other side and grabbed the remote, and handed it to her. "Do you want anything else?" he asked her, since he had plans to hop in the shower, with some warm water to heat up.
"Yea I'm kinda hungry, could you get me some pickles?" Liz said She turned on the TV to the weather channel. She was hoping it was going to be cooler tomorrow.
Todd made a face- he hated pickles. "Umm ya. Sure" Todd said. "I thought you were stuffed from all that popcorn" he teased. At least, that's what he had thought, since she had complained in the car ride
home that she was incredibly stuffed.
But the look on her face that she just shot him told him that that had been the wrong thing to say.
"I want peanut butter too" she told him, her eyebrows raised, challenging him to make another crack. "That too difficult an order for you?"
Todd just cleared his throat. "Sure. I mean no. I-" he paused, confused as to what the correct answer was. "Peanut Butter. And- pickles" he said, moving to the door.
The look at least faded from her usually angelic looking face. "Yea," Liz said, "And grab some of those soy chips," she said leaning back against the pillow as she waited for Todd to return.
Todd tried not to gag as he walked back out to the kitchen. He didn't even realize that they had ANY soy chips. He didn't even know exactly what they were! But sure enough, 5 minutes later after rummaging around in the kitchen for them, and after 1 complaint from Liz that he was taking too long, he walked back to the bedroom and handed Liz the jar of JIF peanut butter, the glass jar of those wretched Vlasic pickles, and the box of soy chips. "Anything else- sweetheart?" he asked her smiling more though his teeth than through the goodness of his heart.
She looked up from stuffing her face greedily. Liz looked at Todd smiling, she had caught his tone and knew he was lying though his teeth. "Yea you could strip all you clothes for me," she said.
Todd's attention was caught. "Excuse me?" he asked her, confused. "Where did that come from? Anyway- " he said, starting to turn, "enjoy your" he cringed, as he thought of the disgustingness of it, "meal, and I'm gonna go take a shower to try and warm up." Todd headed towards the bathroom.
Liz thought about this for a moment as she dipped a pickled in her peanut butter and put it together with the soy chip. She could really use the shower, and she was sure she smelled. She raised her arm smelling under her arms, yep she did. She also realized she could cool down
with the water. The cold water would feel good against her overheated skin. "Wait," she said trying as fast as she could to get up. But it was quite hard since she did have that huge gut in front of her. But she wobbled into the bathroom, "I'll join you," she said to Todd.
Todd had already turned the water on- HOT, and had taken his shirt and pants off and was just getting ready to take his boxer briefs off when he saw the door to the bathroom suddenly open quickly as Liz wobbled through the opening. He looked up at her, confused. "What are you doing? I thought you were all settled in bed and eating your pickles and peanut butter?" he asked her, confused by her strange behavior.
"I thought I could use the shower to cool off a bit," she turned the setting to cool watching the hot steam disappear.
Todd groaned inwardly to himself as he watched his precious steam leave the bathroom. Now was really cold- standing in the cool bathroom with the window open and with cold water running standing there in
his skivvies. Then he groaned out loud, reminding himself that no matter how uncomfortable he was- Liz was even more so. "Fine" he said, gathering up his jeans and shirt, "Go ahead and take yours first. And feel
free to use up all the cold water" he told her.
"Why waste the water at all, join me," she said appraising Todd's body. At least his body hadn't changed at all. She, on the other hand, was even worse then the Pillsbury doughboy. Todd looked exactly as she remembered him, tall, muscular, tan, and completely handsome. "Come on it'll be fun. I'll keep you warm," she said flirtatiously.
All of a sudden Todd felt much more uncomfortable standing there than he did cold. Why was his wife leering at him like that, and why did he feel so uncomfortable as she did so? Todd's skin started to crawl and shiver all at once as his very scantily clad, very very large wife stood there in front of the shower. "Uh, no that's ok" he told her moving to the door with his clothes balled up in his hands. "But you'd better hurry with yours, or I just might eat all of your soy chips and-" he paused, "pickles" he said cringing. Man he couldn't even say the word without cringing!
"Come on Todd! Where's your sense of fun!" she stripped her underwear and climbed in the shower. Instantly the cold water ran over her and she felt better. She turned the water back to warm and beckoned Todd back over, "I promise I won't take advantage of you," she said laughing. Just months ago it would have been the other way around. Usually Todd was the one who was trying to initiate something.
Todd was a bit unnerved by Elizabeth's brazenness and flirtatiousness. He just didn't think it was right for and eight month pregnant woman to be that way- but maybe that was just him. Todd had a sense of fun, and usually that would include a shower for two with his wife. But not like this. No under these- conditions...... Still, he and Liz hadn't done much lately. She was just to big, and it would of been uncomfortable, and, ya, Todd wasn't totally turned on at the thought of fking his wife while her very large belly stood between them. So they hadn't had much of a sex life the past couple of months, and believe it or not, Todd had been kinda ok with that. He shook his head as he watched her play with the nozzle, "Nah it's ok Liz." he said, opening up the bathroom door all the way.
"Is it because I'm FAT!" Liz said snidely, "Your so shallow Todd! You know, my mother warned me about this. People might see me different, but I didn't think that would include you!" She shut the curtain with a snap. She started crying softly. Everything was ruined because of this stupid baby she thought. She could barely concentrate at work cause she was either hungry or had to go to the bathroom. She could barely go out of the house anymore, and now even her husband didn't want to look at her.
Todd tossed his clothes onto the bed and sighed as he heard Elizabeth's accusations, followed by her crying. He couldn't stand it when
she cried. He never had been able to listen to it. He walked back into the bathroom. "Liz, honey" he said to her, trough the piece of plastic that separated them, "I never said I thought you were fat honey."
"You implied it! You won't even take a shower with me and that used to be your favorite thing," Liz said, "And now you won't even look at me that way anymore! We haven't even had sex in almost two months!"
Todd scratched his head. God had it been that long? Sheesh. He was impressed with himself. "Liz of course I still look at you that way" Todd pleaded his case. Ya not having sex with his wife in such a long time certainly hadn't been fun- but he'd been ok with it, since she was, getting, um large, and he just didn't happen to have strong sexual desires to do her like that. And he thought that Liz didn't really have those strong sexual desires either, being pregnant and all. "Sweetie you're beautiful." He said, trying to get her to stop crying. God all he had wanted to do was take a shower! And Liz had been laying in bed eating! How did it get to this? "Honey you're even more beautiful since I can see that you're carrying my child." he told her, rubbing his head.
"Well then get in here with me and show me," she said crossing her arms. She doubted Todd would. It wasn't that she hadn't wanted sex its just that she didn't think Todd would so she hadn't pushed it. But now she was having some of those feelings that she needed him, and he was denying her. Put that on top of constantly changing extreme hormones and Liz was developing a complex. "Please Todd I feel crappy right now, IT would be nice to know that you sympathize with me,"
Todd groaned very softly. She was backing him into a corner. If he rejected her now he'd probably be in the doghouse with her for a day or so. And he didn't think either he nor Liz need that right now. "Fineeeeee" Todd said sighing. So he'd hop in the freezing cold shower with his wife, catch hypothermia, but at least he wouldn't be hurting her feelings. "Just a quick shared shower though, ok?" he warned her, as he pulled off his boxer briefs and walked to the closed curtain.
Liz turned the water to warm now. Since she had cooled off she might as well make it comfortable for him. So opened the curtain a crack to
let him down. She watched him closely. It had been awhile since she had seen him naked. But she hadn't forgotten how hot he looked.
Todd tried to ignore her eyes. He grabbed her shampoo bottle, trying to get this done as quickly as possible. Without realizing- or caring really- he squirted some of Elizabeth's girly fragranced shampoo into his palms, lathered it good in his hands, then promptly handed Elizabeth that shampoo bottle. Then he brought both of his hands to his hair and began washing it.
Liz set her shampoo bottle down and started running her hands over Todd's body. She massaged his upper arms feeling them get tense, "Will you relax!" she said pointedly. She then worked her hands down . . .down. . .down to Todd's jewels. With his hands soapy and in his hair he really had no way of defending himself. She bit her lip in a wicked smile.
Todd jumped slightly as he felt Elizabeth's hands cup and fondle him. And his stupid hands were in his hair. "Liz...." he said in a shaky, warning tone as he took a little step back, and let the spray hit his hair to get rid of the shampoo that was currently getting in his eyes and stinging because he felt he needed to keep them open to keep an eye on Liz and her wandering hands.
"What?" Liz laughed mischievously. But she didn't give up. She continued to feel him up. She hadn't done this in a long time and she was definitely feeling horny.
Todd's breathing stated to become a little uneven. He squeezed his eyes shut for a second as he felt Elizabeth take him in her hand then wrapped her fingers around him. He felt her take step closer and her large belly grazed him. He opened up his eyes again. She had this look in her eyes that almost made Todd afraid. Man she was coming on strong! Todd brought his hands away from his rinsed hair. Screw the conditioner. He grabbed the bar of soap and started rubbing it roughly against his upper arms, then raised one to get his armpit. "Better start Liz or all the hot water is going to be gone" he heard himself saying as he was acutely aware of where Elizabeth's hand was.
Liz missed his hint about taking the shower. She thought he meant start the sex. She worked on him a bit harder. She started to feel a bit of stiffness but Todd still didn't seem to be into it. He was acting so incredibly uptight about all this!
Todd groaned a little more loudly now, unable to resist his reaction to what she was doing. "Liz, I don't...Let's not" he heard himself weakly saying to her as he closed his eyes, tilted his head up, and had the water spray hit him directly in the face. He squeezed the soap in his hand, and his other hand went to have his palm again the shower wall.
"Todd lets, I read about how to do this, we can do it, and I'm so hot right now for you, please do this for me!" She then kissed him on the lips with so much passionate. It must have been all the pent up frustration that she had been experiencing in the last few months.
Todd felt his resolution wither but his erection got bigger. She was begging him..... Another groan escaped Todd's lips as he put the soap blindly back to where it was kept then brought that hand to her lower back just above her bottom.
Liz wrapped her arms around Todd's neck pulling him closer, well as close as he could get with her belly in the way. She cursed this phase of pregnancy. She continued to kiss him passionately. She felt his growing erection. She was about ready to pull him closer when she felt the baby give a swift kick. Todd must have felt it cause he stopped kissing her for a moment.
Todd was having a shortness of breath as he and Elizabeth were kissing. And her big belly was poking him and his big erection was poking her and-! What was that? Todd pulled his lips back from Elizabeth and then looked down between them and then looked up at Elizabeth, a look of question, uncertainty, uneasiness, surprise, in his eyes.
"Sorry that was just the baby kicking, it's fine, don't stop!" she said grabbing him again. She couldn't really get her pelvic area close enough to Todd since her belly was in the way but she brought his hand down there wanting him to massage her and make her feel good. She needed it desperately.
Ok, now Todd was definitely wierded out by this. And a little indignant. Who did the baby think they were- kicking him away like that?!
He heard the desperation in Elizabeth's voice as she asked him for this and under an other circumstances he probably would've laughed at this whole situation. Todd- being drawn more by his penis probably then his brain, started stroking her with her guiding hand remaining on top of his.
Liz groaned instantly. She had read in her many pregnancy books that during pregnancy there was increased blood flow to the vagina and uterus which could bring enhanced sexual pleasure. It was true she thought.
Ohhhhhh was it true. Todd's hands barely touched her but she was already feeling pleasure.
God she was ripe, Todd realized as he continued stroking her, prodding her slickness gently with his finger, feeling her bud open up already. Man she was definitely good to go, in record time Todd though. Usually even he didn't reach that peak that quickly. Todd groaned and pressed his erection against the side of her stomach. "Liz what do you want?" he said through a groan and gasp.
Liz turned around so her back was facing him. She bent her knees ever so slightly and put her arms on the wall for support "I'm ready," she said simply waiting for him to enter her.
Todd nodded as he watched her turn around. He drew in a deep breath then stepped right behind her, placing both his hands on her hips to help him for support so he could enter her from behind. She was ready, she had said. Oh boy, was she ever. Todd held onto her hips and entered her from behind, trying to will himself to go very slowly. He wasn't sure if he actually was or not though.
Liz moaned. Todd was going slowly and it was torturing her- in a good way of course. But it felt good. "Keep going," she was able to get out before screaming in pleasure. This back entry was hitting all of her erogenous places.
Todd grunted. She sure wasn't helping to keep him in check. He didn't want to go to fast, he wanted to be sure to be careful, "I don't want to get to deep, I don't want it to be uncomfortable" he said weekly.
Liz felt her breath catch in her thought. Then she felt herself climaxing. That was fast, she thought to herself. Usually it took at least 5 minutes. She clenched her fists screaming in pleasure. She said Todd's name over and over as her legs began to weaken and her entire body was under a rush of attack of pure pleasure..
Todd willed himself go and make sure to be extra careful- not wanting to cause Elizabeth the slightest amount of pain or discomfort- and judging from her response- he was only causing her pleasure. Todd kept one hand firmly planted on her hip as he continued to thrust inside of her, feeling his own release building up and up and up. Todd used his other hand and brought it to Elizabeth's chest and fondled her breasts as he rocked their bodies back and forth with his powerful legs and pelvic area. With Liz facing the shower wall, Todd's back was facing the target of the shower spray, and it was hitting his back and spraying all around.
Liz stood perfectly still. But her whole body seemed to be moving inside of her. She felt huge tingles go through her body. Her vagina walls contracted over Todd's member. If she was supposed to have pain during this, she couldn't feel it. All she was experiencing was pure pleasure.
Todd held himself perfectly still inside of her as she was going through her trembling- apparently experiencing quite an orgasm.. Maybe it was cause they were doing it in the shower, or maybe it was cuz they were using this technique, or maybe it was cuz they hadn't done this in a few months due to her condition- but they were obviously both getting the most out of this. A few seconds after he felt Elizabeth's wall calm down and her screams subsided Todd went ahead and groaned as he thrust a few more times and released himself in her, spilling into her already filled womb. Todd's hands were still on her hip and across her chest, and his mouth was near her ear and he was panting, trying to get a hold of his regular breathing. Todd just kind of stood there and allowed them to come down from their orgasms as the water pounded against his back.
Liz felt Todd's thrusting stop and he groaned long a hard. She could feel his breath right on his ear. She stepped away from him withdrawing. She turned around looking at him. They were both breathing hard and raspy. She kissed him tenderly. Thank you," she said smiling and hugging him. She started to feel the baby move with great force. It must have been protesting she thought. She laughed silently to herself. For once she was satisfying her happiness and not the baby's.
Todd felt Elizabeth's arms draped around his shoulders and his breathing was still struggling to get back to normal, although Elizabeth's seemed to have returned to normal. Guys sure could start things quickly and girls sure could end them quickly. Yet another difference between men and women. Whew! Ya that had been good, he thought to himself. Todd brought both of his hands to her hips again, although this time it was a little different, since she was facing him. They certainly hadn't done that in a while. And now her large stomach was between them, it was pressing against Todd slightly, and he felt and saw her stomach move. Todd nuzzled the side of his face to Elizabeth's damp forehead, and there was a stringy wet piece of hair sticking to it. "Think the baby is ticked about having to share it's space with me" he asked her with a smile, as the water continued to pelt him.
Liz giggled, "Well that's it's problem!" She kissed him. She grabbed her shampoo and started washing her hair. Her back was starting to hurt again from standing to long and she was hungry again. She quickly rinsed out the soap and grabbed the conditioner.
Todd breathed in through his nose, nodded with a smile, then let go of Elizabeth's hips and turned around the other way so that the spray could hit his front and wash him off. Todd rinsed, then ran his fingers through Elizabeth's long and wet hair which had just been rinsed of the conditioner. "You won" he told her simply, running his fingers through it. "You took advantage of me......in front of the baby." The small smile was playing on his lips.
Liz rolled her eyes. "I didn't take advantage of you! You let me, so therefore it doesn't count" She grabbed her lotion and her body wash and quickly washed her body. She finished and turned the water off. She stepped out grabbing and towel and her robe.
Todd held her arm for her as she gingerly and carefully stepped out of the shower. You could never be to careful, Todd thought. He stepped out after her and rubbed himself down with a fluffy towel, and was downright shivering. His body was wet and the windows were all still open and the fans were still blowing; he would have asked Liz if maybe they could turn the fans off or something but he was actually kind of afraid to. He'd live with it, he supposed. Todd wrapped the towel around his waist as he grabbed his toothbrush and brushed his teeth, as Goosebumps formed on his arms.
Liz wrapped her robe around her and went into the bedroom. She put on a thin cotton tank top shirt and some maternal shorts for bed. She was still hot so she didn't want to get overheated. She went back into the bathroom and grabbed her hairbrush and started combing through her hair.
Todd finished up in the bathroom, still shivering. He accidentally walked in font of the fan and just about died. He bent down on his knees in front of the bottom drawer of the dresser, and began rummaging through it. "Were you able to sign up for the class today?" Todd asked Liz, as he rifled through their "stored" winter clothes which they kept down there when it wasn't the season.
Liz nodded, "Yeah I went down to the community center and signed up for a Lamaze class that starts next week, It's like 5:30 to 7 so I won't have to worry about missing work and most of your workshop meetings for coaching should be over, right?"
Todd nodded which his back to her, "Good, I'm glad you were able to get that time." There! he found it! Todd pulled out his red and gray flannel pajama set that he was pretty sure he hadn't seen since December. "So how many days a week is it?" he asked her as he started buttoning up the top part of it.
"The class is Monday, Wednesday and Friday for three weeks, hopefully by the time its over I can get rid of this," Liz said referring to her huge belly. She looked at what Todd had pulled out of the drawer, "You're going to wear THAT?" she asked in disbelief.
Todd turned his head to her as he finished buttoning up, his eyes wide and innocent. "Ya...why? What's wrong with this?" he asked her as he pulled the flannel pajama bottom up under his towel, then walked with the towel in hand back to the bathroom, to hang it up. "Hey Liz I' not certain but Wednesday's might be tough for me to get to." he said to her on his way there.
"Todd its the middle of summer! You look ridiculous and you don't need flannel pajamas!" Liz said incredulously. "Anyways I already knew that and I talked with Jess and she said she would come with me since you know she's going to be in the delivery room anyway she might not want any surprises."
"What!?" Todd interjected, as he just casually threw his towel into the bathroom. He stood with his hands on hip flannel covered hips. "Jessica's gonna be where?"
"In the hospital, in the delivery room, where the baby is born." Liz said very slowly over-pronouncing each word.
Todd clenched his jaw as he heard Liz's smart ass response. "Umm, this is news to me. Since when is Jessica going to be in the delivery room too?" he demanded as he walked back over to the dresser and fished around in the top drawer for some socks to cover his feet with.
"Since she was my twin and I need her to help me bear the pain," Liz said matter-of-factly. "Besides I read in all my pregnancy books that when you have a natural birth its best to have a woman give a helping hand by holding your hand and giving encouragement. I need her for support baby." She then shrugged, thinking that was the end of this.
Todd spun round, socks in hand. She needed Jess to help bear the pain? What? That was physically impossible- it was hooky! It didn't make sense! "Umm, maybe for natural birth- like back in the olden days when woman gave birth in log cabins and they needed other woman around to help with the birth and get towels and stuff" Todd retorted, waving his socks.
Liz sighed. Here they went again. "No many women use natural births, It is completely safe and is better for the mother and the baby, It will still be in the hospital so if anything does go wrong they are there, but besides that Natural will be a faster process and that's what I want. And besides, Jess is there for support-she's not a midwife, that's going to be someone else there," Liz said. She didn't know why Todd was getting so worked up about this. She could have sworn they had talked about this before- and settled it. And she was not about to give up on her position.
Todd looked at her, his eyes wide. She was acting like they had discussed this in the past and that Todd was being a nuisance for bringing it up. Well- they hadn't! Todd still didn't know why Liz was so fixated on making herself go through a natural birth, even though she had just explained it. Todd wished she would just not be so damn adamant against getting ANY help. He thought she was being stubborn, but, had kinda accepted it. This Jessica thing on the other hand- well, no way. Huh uh. "So let me get his straight" Todd said, leaning his elbow on the top of the dresser and putting his chin in his hand in an attempt to look- something. "Jessica is going to be there to help you with the pain." He ticked off his fingers. "Help support you. And hold your hand. Well gee I guess my part really did end eight months ago, didn't it?" he huffed then bent down to put his socks on.
"Well if that's how you want to look at it FINE!" Liz said her voice raising with frustration. She knew that wasn't true but she was getting fed up with him and she could already feel herself sweating again. "You planted the seed and now I don't need you anymore. Sure, why not" she tossed in sarcastically. "I'm going through natural birth whether you like it or not, or whether you are there or not, and Jess is going to be there, because I WANT her there," she added.
Todd stood back up again and crossed crossed his arms over his chest. "Well Liz you know it sounds like you're giving Jessica all of my responsibilities- responsibilities that I WANT. God it's freezing in here!" Todd exclaimed, visibly shivering.
"NO I'm not, I still need you for the same thing, but I want Jess there too because she's my sister and I don't know how to describe it, I just do!" she said, frustration seeping out. Liz rolled her eyes, "It is fricking hot in here so shut up."
Todd clenched his jaw again. Man, had just like ten minutes ago, he and Liz been doin' it doggy style in the shower? Geez she was so unreasonable, and didn't listen lately, and Todd attested it all to her pregnancy, because normal Elizabeth Wakefield-Wilkins was usually compassionate and well, NOT this way. "Well Liz, I'm the husband, I'm the dad, and I don't appreciate being pushed out of this event. Look I realize you an Jessica are close, but don't you think for this kind of even-
well, I should be CLOSER." Todd said stubbornly. "And I can't take another second of this god-damned fan being on!" he exclaimed, not exactly yelling, but more like venting his frustration, as he went over and
pushed the off bottom emphatically. It made a loud click.
Liz starred daggers at him, "How dare you make me choose between you and my sister," she said switching the fan back on. "You know my sister had a miscarriage and she wants to share this with me!"
"Well where exactly do I fall in this?" Todd demanded in a hurt voice.
"I'm not saying you are not going to be in the room, I'm just saying that Jess is going to be there too," she said, then clicked the fan back on high.
"And Liz I'm your husband, the father of this child your having, so if you ask me, well, even if I did, say, hypothetically ask you to choose, well I think the choice would be pretty obvious!"
"That's what YOU think," Liz said, keeping her hand covering the fan like a child so he couldn't turn it back off. "Just because you're the father does not give you total choice of whose in the room or not, It's my choice, 'cause its my body,"
Todd rolled his eyes. "You know, I really don't want to get back to that topic again" he remarked, since they had revisited it quite a few times in the past, when discussing her giving natural birth. Todd kind of gave a shake of the head slash glare of the eyes look at Liz, who was standing absurdly in front of the fan, guarding it. "I'm freezing my ass of, I'm going to bed" he huffed as he moved away, getting in on his side of the bed and laying on his back, pulling all of the covers up.
Liz followed suit and flopped on her side of the bed, her blood still seething. She decided to forgo the covers since she was still hot. She just laid on her back, staring at the ceiling, ignoring the person laying inches next to her. It was becoming harder and harder to find a comfortable position to sleep since her enormous stomach seemed to always get in the way. And now it was even causing fights. Liz sighed trying to let it go. She put her hand on her tummy. Right before bed the baby would always start kicking the most it seemed, right when she was ready for bed. But the baby was unusually quiet and still. It must have been the fight she thought. The baby wasn't used to hearing her raised voice or even Todd's. She pushed in on her stomach. This always aggravated the baby to start kicking back at her.
Since Todd was laying on his back too his peripheral vision cased him to see Elizabeth and what she was doing. "What are you doing? he grunted to her, his eyes still on the ceiling.
"I'm just trying to get the baby to move," she said. She pushed in a bit harder now, and instantly she felt a response. The baby pushed back. She smiled to herself. She couldn't wait to see the baby outside of her and she could actually play with the baby and just hold him or her in her arms lovingly.
"Oh" Todd said. And he caught her smile. Todd sighed. "I'm sorry, about what we were fighting about" he told her, shifting over to his side so that he was facing her, as he propped his head up on an elbow. And he realized right then that he really really was indeed sorry.
He put one of his hands on Elizabeth's huge and swollen stomach. Her beautiful stomach. For her to think he wasn't attracted to her like this- well, it really was absurd. Cuz he was. Insanely.
Liz looked at Todd pointedly, "I'm still having Jess in the delivery room though, I know you can't stand her but I'm sure you guys won't have time to fight anyways. The time leading up to that I won't even have to be in the bed if I don't want to," Liz felt the baby go into full swing like every night. She moved Todd's hand closer to her right side and held it there so he could feel it.
Todd sighed. "I don't HATE her." he admonished as he felt her move his hand. "I was just starting to feel left out" he admitted to her. Sometimes he was jealous of Elizabeth's and Jessica's relationship. Their closeness. Was it closer than he and Liz? Todd felt where Elizabeth guided his hand too and sure enough felt the baby kicking- just like every night. He hadn't ever admitted it to Liz, because he knew how much the baby doing this kept her up; but he looked forward to this every night.
"Todd your not going to be left out, trust me, and by the time it's through I'm sure you wish you were left out. I doubt it's going to be a quick one since it's only my first labor," she said trying to comfort him. She closed her eyes relaxing for the first time that day. But now that the baby started it would not stop. It didn't seem to get the concept of day and night. While it was always quiet during the day and morning it seemed to wake up like clockwork right before bed.
Todd told himself that that just wasn't true. He couldn't imagine that. He'd be there, supporting Elizabeth, through it all- no matter how long it was. He kept his hand on her stomach, still feeling the baby moving, and yet he saw Elizabeth's eyes were now closed. "I enjoyed our shower" he said to her, a small smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
Liz smiled back. "I thought you said I took advantage of you!" she joked. She rolled on her side so she was facing him. She ruffled his hair like a little five year old.
"Ya....." Todd said, liking her playfulness, "But I wanted you to...." he said to her. He gently massaged her stomach with his hand. "Just one more month Elizabeth.....one more month" he sighed in awe.
Liz smiled while nodding, "Ummm hmmm." She had grown used to falling asleep to the baby's movements and now since she was tired it was no different from any other night. She snuggled up to Todd feeling his freezing cold hands and his icy feet. Maybe he really was cold she thought as she drifted off to sleep.
Todd waited to fall asleep until Elizabeth did. He still kept his hand on her stomach, loving the feeling of his unborn child moving around. Man, one more month......and he was going to be a father. Todd then realized with stunning clarity that the mood swings and the short tempered-ness and the the him freezing to death to keep up with Elizabeth's hot flashes and the big belly and the disappearance of their sex life and Liz's weird horniness..... well, he was ok with all of it- because in the end he was going to get a child out of it. Todd removed his
hand and tucked himself back under the sheets and then snuggled back against Elizabeth. And while she might have been doing it for the comfort, poor Todd was doing it for the heat!
