(Family Planning Clinic)
Hector and Astrid had the time of their lives partying with friends and family to celebrate the baby she and Hector were having, now, in three months time. Astrid was twenty-three weeks along today. Neither she or Hector could wait to welcome their first child into the world, so they'd been hard at work in their jobs and also getting the nursery ready. Astrid still worked as a secretary for Dreki-Viking Enterprise, and Selena allowed Jason to stay as her personal assistant because he came highly recommended by Hector, who was working full time at the auto-shop with Glenn. Hector worked forty hours a week from 7 am to 3 pm five days a week, Monday-Friday, so he could have his weekends with Astrid. But usually, if Hector missed a couple hours for one of Astrid's appointments, he'd make them up by staying a little later or tacking them onto a Saturday morning shift. Hector was also set to go to college for Engineering in September of 2020, but it would be online except the few times he had to physically go to the university for major exams, tests, quizzes, and seeing things he'd work with, while trying them out, in person. It was a great plan, and Hector was happy to be doing what he wanted with everyone's support. Astrid's mostly. Everything worked out so that both parents would get to be with their kids an equal amount of time together and apart. The baby would be going to daycare when Hector had work and so did Astrid.
With their friends, Heather and Flynn were engaged as of Christmas. Flynn did the official proposal with his family and Heather's, and then they announced it to their friends while over for desserts and gift exchange. Also, Flynn and Heather would be looking for a house after marrying. Evan and Rylee announced that they were engaged as of the New Year, living together before the end of January. Syrus and Madison were expecting a baby as of Valentines Day, which brought on an impromptu proposal before February was over and they were looking for a place of their own. Cassandra and Theodore were still together and going strong. TJ and Alexia were also happily dating one another. Drew, shockingly, had begun dating the school nurse of Hooligan High; Myra Defendor. There had always been crushes between the two, but they finally admitted their feelings and have begun a relationship. Glenn was still single, Vivian and Spencer were great, and so were Marcus and Angela. Christmas morning, for Hector and Astrid, started out with just them exchanging a few things in the morning, then they were off to Astrid's parents' place, and finally to Hector's parents' for dinner. Later on that night, around 5:30 pm, all the friends came over to hang out and catch up.
A baby shower had not been held yet, but it was happening tomorrow at 3:00 pm in Hector and Astrid's backyard. Heather, Madison, Angela, Rylee, Alexia, Vivian, and Cassandra were going to be putting it together starting at 1:30 pm. Astrid would be overseeing everything. After this, the nursery would be finished and Hector would be assembling all furniture. Right now, Hector and Astrid were at the doctor's office. It was the scan where they could find out the gender if they wanted, but Hector and Astrid hadn't yet decided if they wanted to know. The two were sitting down and waiting for Astrid to be called.
"What do you think, should we find out what we're having?" Astrid asked him.
"I like the idea of it being a surprise when you give birth, but whatever you want to do," Hector told her with a smile, holding her hand with his. "I support anything."
"Well, weighing the pros and cons…" Astrid began. "We could have an easier time narrowing down names. I'm not one for surprises, and I know I'm having a son or daughter no matter what. We've confirmed it's not twins," She laughed a little.
"True," Hector agreed. "We do have a long list of possible names for boys and girls, knowing would help to shorten that list to one or the other to choose from,"
"The rest of it would save on our families and friends asking constantly about names, and colors…I know it doesn't matter, and it's only opinions they have, but it's aggravating at times," Astrid informed.
"I can agree with you," Hector nodded. "Would it just be better for us to find out, maybe announce it at the shower later?"
"I think it would be best," Astrid replied. "So we agree to find out, tell everyone tomorrow?" Hector nodded as they were both in agreement to learn what they were having, and telling everyone at the party, which no one knew they even had a doctor appointment today.
Soon, the door opened and the nurse called Astrid in. Hector followed his wife and both of them were looking forward to finding out what they would be having.

(Haddock Apartment)
Hector and Astrid were glad to know what they were having and on the way home from the doctor's office yesterday, got everything they'd need to reveal the gender at the baby shower. Of course, there needed to be an unscheduled stop at Dreki-Viking Enterprise so Hector could help Selena with something, but were done by noon and then Hector and Astrid grabbed lunch at the local diner before going home to prepare things for today. Now, everyone had arrived and was getting greetings out of the way. Astrid was definitely showing for twenty-three weeks and one day along, but Hector loved it and enjoyed seeing the baby bump. It was going to be a surprise for everyone when the two of them revealed that they knew what they were having in three months.
"Astrid, you're positively glowing!" Alexia complimented.
"Thanks…" Astrid smiled. It was always good to see everyone, it was hard to hang out with high school over.
"Hector, my brother…Good to see you again," Drew shook Hector's hand. "I'm sure you remember Myra?"
"Of course. How are you, Myra?" Hector asked.
"Quite well, Hector. Thank you for asking. How are you and Astrid? And of course, the little one?" Myra wondered.
"Both great, and the baby is fantastic. We're anxious to meet him or her," Astrid stated softly.
"Well, let's get this going!" Heather announced. "Astrid, what would you like to do first?"
"Honestly, eat. But that's the baby putting it's input in," Astrid giggled. "We should eat, so we're not starving for the rest,"
"Eating it is!" Madison called.
Everyone got their food and sat around to start eating, and talk too. Everyone was catching up on their lives and having a good time. Soon it was 4:15 pm, and now they were sitting around for Astrid to open her gifts from them. Hector, obviously, bought the crib. And it was one that had levels you could set as the baby grew, plus being able to turn into a toddler bed, and regular twin sized when old enough. Hector clearly thought ahead for the future. The Haddock parents bought a combination dresser, changing table, and side storage shelving unit. Glenn bought a recliner-rocking chair. Madison and Syrus gifted a bath set, which was the infant tub, some toys, a few sets of shampoo, body watch, lotion. There were also baby nail clippers, gum and tooth brush, hair brush and comb. There were lots of diapers, wipes, onesies, socks, swaddles, blankets, burp-rags, and clothing. The Hofferson parents got two carseats and two strollers. Another thing they got was formula, bottles, and some pacifiers. And they also got a baby swing, playmat, and portable pack and play. Also, they got a bassinet, just for nights the baby refused to sleep on it's own. Hector got Astrid a baby monitor, which had a base that sat in the baby's room and it had a camera, then two extra monitors. One would be in the bedroom, the other would be able to move around when they had things to do around the apartment. Overall, Hector and Astrid had just about everything they needed for a bit.
Hector, Drew, Evan, Syrus, TJ, and Theodore got all the stuff into the nursery and actually got it all put together while the girls, Glenn, Spencer, and Marcus helped clean up from the main meal and got desserts set out. Astrid didn't know Hector got everything ready with their friends, but he wanted to surprise her before they ate anything else.
"There you guys are, what took so long?" Vivian asked.
"Arranging the best we could, but Hector said Astrid was the only one allowed to make those choices cause he promised her she could design the nursery…So, Astrid…Hector said you get to go see where you want everything. To…Make it easier when it gets built," Syrus said.
"Okay, I'll go check," Astrid chuckled, getting out of the chair with Hector's help and going to the nursery.
"It was all a ploy, I know the way you wanted things," Hector said, turning the light on and letting Astrid see everything all set up.
"Oh…Hector," Astrid brought a hand to her mouth, trying to fight back the forming tears. "It's beautiful. I love it…" She gasped. She hugged him tightly. "I love you."
"I love you too, Astrid," Hector brought her close and kissed her deeply, and then they held that a bit, somewhat making out.
"HEY! We are all waiting to dive into dessert and you two are sucking faces," TJ remarked.
"Oh, screw off. It's our place," Hector rolled his eyes. "We could kick everyone out and go make love in our room,"
"You can do it later!" Everyone yelled.
"Come on, let's go humor them for a bit. Then I'm all yours," Astrid giggled.
"Promise?" Hector hoped.
"You bet," Astrid kissed him again.
They held hands and returned to the group to do desserts.

(6:30 pm)
"This has been a great day," Astrid sighed out, leaning against Hector.
"I'll say," Hector agreed.
"How are things at the company, son?" Spencer inquired.
"Great, actually. Selena's doing an awesome job. I just went over there yesterday to give things a look. I'm Selena's second pair of eyes, and everything goes through me for finalization." Hector said. "I told you, I still run everything. From the sidelines. I'd only attend what was absolutely necessary," He mentioned.
"How are sales?" Marcus wondered.
"Through the roof. Way better than last year," Hector told them.
"How's the shop, since I've been on vacation?" Glenn asked.
"Same way it always is, Uncle Glenn. Busy," Hector told him. "I organized your office, though. I don't know how you find anything in that mess."
"There's a method to the madness!" Glenn protested.
"It's just madness. Rather…Chaos," Hector rolled his eyes.
"I'll never find anything if you organized it. You're OCD as hell," Glenn sighed.
"I'm not OCD. I'm just organized, and it's set up to be easy…Just for you," Hector remarked. "I'll show you on Monday."
"Fine…" Glenn gave in as Hector smiled. "I trust ya, lad,"
"You didn't make me co-owner for nothing," Hector reminded.
"So when are you due again, Astrid?" Madison asked.
"July 30th is when I hit forty weeks, but we'll see if early or later than that as things draw closer. My doctor is watching me because she knows Hector was born two months early," Astrid replied.
"But for now, we're right on track," Hector added.
"Thought of any names?" Angela wondered.
"A few, we've narrowed it down," Astrid replied lightly.
"What are you hoping for?" Theodore questioned.
"We both want a girl and decided her name will be Zoey Haddock," Astrid smiled, leaning into Hector.
"What if you have a boy?" Vivian beamed.
"Don't need a boy name. We're having a girl, for sure," Hector said.
"You never know," Heather giggled.
"We do know. We found out yesterday. We're having a girl," Astrid laughed as Hector got the sonograms out of his pocket and passed it around, the confirmation of them having a little girl. "She was in the perfect position to find out, so we decided to say what the hell and learned."
"That's amazing. I'm so happy for you two!" Alexia hugged Astrid, then Hector.
"We can't wait to meet little Zoey," Cassandra smiled.
"Neither can we," Hector said.
. . .
(9:30 pm)
Everyone went home by 8:00 pm after helping Hector and Astrid clean up from the baby shower. Astrid went to take a shower while Hector got everything locked up and set up for them to enjoy a movie in their room. Astrid came in by 9:30, and got on her side of the bed.
"Can we skip the movie and go right to sex?" Astrid asked, which surprised Hector.
"Um, sure," Hector replied. He obviously wasn't going to deny his wife something she wanted, and he knew her sex drive was pretty high while pregnant.
Astrid leaned over and captured Hector's lips with hers. Hector happily returned the action as Astrid adjusted herself to lay down and Hector stayed beside.
/Lemon Start/
The kisses between them quickly turned into making out and clothing being removed, soon they were laying nude together on the bed. Hector trailed kissed from Astrid's lips to her neck, and bringing a hand down her body to massage her pussy. Hector knew not to touch the breasts, due to the sensitivity. Hector massaged lightly, giving some attention to the clit, and then slowly inserting two fingers. Astrid moaned out at the feeling, spreading her legs more. Hector pumped his fingers in and out, using his thumb on Astrid's clitoris.
"Oh…Gods, Hector…" Astrid whined, wanting more. Hector began to move his fingers faster and harder, but still carefully. The doctor said sex was okay, but to be more aware of any potential problems. "Mm!" Hector returned the kisses back to Astrid's lips, making out once again. It didn't take very long for Hector to get hard, nor Astrid to reach her first climax. "Hector…I-," She could even finish her sentence to tell him she was about to release; it happened. Hector only smiled, rubbing a bit and then withdrawing his fingers. Astrid panted, but still kissed Hector. "Want you…"
"Have me. What me or you on top? Doggy? Side," Hector asked.
"You on top first…" Astrid told him. Hector nodded and got between her legs while on his knees and pushed into her core. Astrid arched a bit, moaning out again. Hector kept his hands on Astrid's thighs while thrusting gently. He always did until Astrid said otherwise. "More…" Hector thrust harder and faster into her.
Eventually, they shifted to doggy style, then on their sides with Hector behind. Now, Astrid was on top with Hector laying on the bed. Hector held Astrid's hip, moving with her pace. Both of them were at their limits and Astrid was tired, that was to be expected while basically six months pregnant. "Hector…I'm gonna cum," Astrid moaned.
"Me too, babe," Hector smiled. It wasn't more than five minutes later when Astrid came first, then Hector right with her. The two shared a few kisses and Astrid did climb off to lay with him as they made out a bit while riding out their orgasms.
/Lemon End/
Hector and Astrid cleaned up after ten minutes, and then covered themselves with the blanket. Astrid cuddled up to Hector as he held her tightly.
"I'm happy everything worked out for us," Astrid said softly.
"Me too. If someone told me when all this started that I was marrying the love of my life, and mother of my children…I'd told them they were crazy," Hector smiled. "I'm glad we went through it all to get here. I don't think I could be happier. Maybe when our daughter gets here," He added.
"I've been told that things happen for a reason, so maybe it had to happen this way." Astrid glanced up at him.
"Or maybe it was always meant to work out," Hector shrugged. "Maybe things would have turned out this way if we got together when I first told you I loved you," He mentioned.
"No, I think you're right. Maybe it was always meant to work out that I rejected you then and we still got forced together where the feelings were mutual." Astrid told him.
"You're probably right," Hector chuckled.
"Am…I really the love of your life?" Astrid asked.
"You are. There have been other girls and guys I liked…But you're the one I've always loved, Astrid." Hector confessed. "Even after you rejected me…I still loved you. I tried to bury it and couldn't. There was no getting rid of how I feel for you."
"I did like you, in elementary school," Astrid mentioned. "But I guess I let popularity get to me…I worried what others would think. It was stupid…" She sighed. "But I am glad that everything happened…And I got a second chance with you. Despite what we went through…I always felt bad about hurting you…"
"Hey, everything is okay," Hector kissed her lightly. "We're together now, and we will be for the rest of our lives. We're together, soon we'll have our daughter…Maybe down the line get a house, have another kid. I don't care as long as we're together. At the end of every day, I get to call you my girl. My wife. The love of my life." Hector stared into her eyes.
"I love you, Hector," Astrid let a tear slip and Hector wiped it away and kissed her again. "Together forever, side by side."
"I love you too, Astrid. Together forever, side by side," Hector replied.
The lovers shared another kiss, and snuggled up together, then soon drifted of too sleep. Contently. Happily.
