Chapter 3: At six months

Three months later…

Kim, who was now five months pregnant, was on very strict orders to stay off her feet for the rest of the pregnancy, leaving Ron to tend to everything else. Kim felt so guilty, but Ron reassured her everything was going to be fine.

"Don't worry Kim, I have everything under control." Kim who was still depressed said, "I'm going to go crazy, they are being stricter now. No cleaning, no long walks, no lifting anything." Ron replied, "I know it's hard Kim, but it's best for you and the baby. Now I'm going downstairs to make a call. Emma and Adrian are sleeping, if they start crying, I will get them. You stay in bed." Kim cracked a smiled and said, "Yes sir."

Ron kissed his wife, and headed downstairs. Kim picked up a book and started reading. She could hear Ron muttering on the phone in the distant. She then thought, "How are we going to get the new nursery done with me on bed rest?" She then remembered Ron's words; "Everything is under control" and that soothed her a little. She returned to her book, and was startled when she heard the doorbell ring about 20 minutes later. She heard people coming up the steps, and saw it was her parents along with Ron's parents.

"Mom, dad! Hello Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable." They all came over and gave her a hug and asked how she was feeling. "I'm ok. But I'm going crazy." Mrs. Possible laughed, "I remember when I was on bed rest with you. I went crazy to." Ron then said, "Since you're on bed rest, we are all going to decorate the new baby's room." Kim laughed and said, "That's very sweet of you all." Mrs. Stoppable said to Kim, "It's our pleasure Kim. Now you relax and will be in the next room." They all walked out and Ron winked at his wife before joining the rest. Kim laid her head on the pillow and was asleep within minutes.

When Kim woke up 2 hours later and 5:00, she smelled chicken. She turned over to find a tray sitting on the nightstand. On it was chicken, applesauce, carrots, and a salad. There was also a note. She read the note, which said, "I didn't want to wake you, so I brought your dinner up here for you. Enjoy sweetheart." She smiled and said to herself, "Oh Ron." She reached over and grabbed the tray. She cut up her chicken, and started eating. Ron peeked into the room and saw her eating."

"Hey pretty lady, how is it?" Kim smiled, "It's wonderful. Thank-you. Where is Emma and Adrian?" "Downstairs with you're parents. My parents ran to the store to get more paint." Kim laughed, "Ok, is everything going all right?" Ron smiled, "Of course, I got it all under control. Emma and Adrian just ate, and I would like you to finish." "Yes sir." She said.

Ron blew her a kiss, turned around, and headed back downstairs. She heard Emma coo as she finished eating. She set the tray back on the table and got up to go to the bathroom. She then returned to the bed, and picked up her book. As she started to read she thought, "Better get used to this." She read for another hour, and then turned on the TV and by 9:00 she was fast asleep.
