It was late at night and Tony entered the room and saw Kate was in discomfort.
"Kate do you want a back rub?" Tony said rubbing her shoulder.
"a stomach massage would be nice." Kate said in relief "okay turn over on your back." Tony said reaching for the oil.
Tony took some massage oil and unbuttoned Kate's top to the top of her tummy and opened it to only expose her stomach.
He put some oil on her stomach which made her shiver cause it was cold. He started to softly and carefully rub her aching stomach and the look on her face was so relaxed and so calm. He got to the middle and she flinched in pain.
"Kate are you alright?" Tony said as he took his hands off.
"Yeah i'm fine that is probably where my discomfort is." Kate said breathing slowly.
He continued to massage that spot and she breathed slowly to control the pain.
"Feel any better baby?" Tony said softly.
"Yeah much better thank you...so much." Kate said quietly.
The baby then kicked and started kicking more.
"Oww..." Kate said crunching up a little.
"Kate what's wrong? Is it time..." Tony said starting to get up.
"No it's just kicking...it liked the massage." Kate said laughing.
Tony just laughed and wiped his hands on a towel beside the bed. He took off his shirt and got into bed beside Kate.
She got closer and cuddled up to his chest and he put his arm around her and told her everything was going to be okay.
She just smiled and drifted off too sleep.
Tony woke up early that morning at 2:00am and realized Kate wasn't in bed.
"Kate!...Kate!..baby where are.." all of a sudden Tony heard crying coming from the other room down the hall. "uh oh"
He walked down the hall and saw his wife in the nursery crying.
"Kate what's wrong?" Tony said bending down to Kate's level.
"I can't do this Tony." Kate said with a stream of tears running down her face.
"do what honey?" Tony said trying to comfort Kate.
"I can't raise a baby Tony. How can I? I don't know if i will be a good mother or a good influence to the baby. How can I do this?
Will the baby love or will it hate me? How can I keep it out of harms way? How can I..." Kate just put her head in her hands and cried.
Tony embraced her and kissed her head.
"Kate we can do this...together. We can protect the baby and it will love you and you will definately be a great mother Kate. You have always wanted children. You told me that along time ago honey. I would hate to see you give up your dream baby. I will be with you through the whole way and beyond that too." Tony said reassuringly.
Kate smiled and hugged Tony.
He took her hand and took her back to bed and stroke her head gently until she fell asleep.
