"Ugh..."

Hearing the exhausted moan Zed immediately spun around on the chair he was sitting on by his computer desk. He had sat in that spot since 7.30 that morning and he was starting to feel it in his joints.

"You alright gorgeous?" he asked concerned, getting up and crouching next to his wife that was sprawled out on the couch. His hands moved up, one coming to stroke the exhausted woman's cheek and the other settling on top of her large stomach, rubbing it gently. Smiling widely when he felt a distinct kick underneath his palm.

"Your daughter is having a good kick about and I'm so exhausted, every time I'm close to getting some sleep, she'll kick." Addison groaned, glaring daggers at the green haired man. He frowned at her appearance, dark bags were starting to appear under her eyes, her hair left in tangles as she was too exhausted to brush them out, her body aching whenever she tried to. Her pyjamas having been her attire for the last week, so far ahead in her pregnancy now that anything else but that, or Zed's oversized hoodies was too tight and uncomfortable for her to wear. Addison lifted her head up of the pillow to look at the bump, frowning at the sight. "I look like a whale as well, I haven't seen my own two feet in months!"

"You look beautiful Addy, and isn't it worth it knowing you're carrying our little bundle of joy inside you?" Zed asked, moving his hand from her cheek to grab her hand instead, kissing each of her knuckles. His eyes filled with love and happiness. "What do you know, you're the size of a stick." She muttered, letting her head fall back against the pillow. Holding herself back from slapping him when she heard him chuckle in response next to her.

The first few months of pregnancy went flying by, Addison altering between busing herself with getting as much work done as she could before having to go on her leave and the tons of doctor appointments she and Zed had to attend. Zed would during the days of the check ups finish work earlier just he could pick up Addison so they could always go together. Once Addison had to go on leave was when she kept herself busy by getting ready for the baby to arrive, which meant going baby shopping with her mum, Bree, Eliza and Zoey. Zoey was extremely excited to finally welcome her first niece or nephew into the world. She had screamed so loudly when they had announced it was going to be a girl that both Addison and Zed swore their ears was still ringing to this day. Zed himself spend time by either working from home, or along with his dad, Bonzo and Dale work on turning the second guest room into the nursery room. Once the room was done and there was nothing more to buy, the both of them was just left to wait until the due date was come around. For Addison, it was the worst time, as it was also the time where she looked the biggest, felt the most helpless and depended more on Zed, not that Zed would ever mind. Zed was a gentleman, as he had always been, attending to Addison's every need whether it be lending an ear for her to moan, or run out at 3 in the morning for olives. When Addison had demanded every mirror in the apartment removed, Zed had refused and instead forced her to stand there with him, to look at herself as he would kiss every inch of her, calling each spot beautiful as he did so. To him, she had never been more beautiful than she was now as she carried their child. Even more beautiful than when he first saw her, even more so than when he first seen her without her wig on. Even more than when he first saw her walk down the aisle, about to become his wife. She was always beautiful, no matter how she looked or what she wore, but now she was glowing.

He couldn't help but smile as he thought back to when she had let him know that they were pregnant. They had been trying for months when they finally succeeded.

Flashback

"Addy? I'm home!" Zed called out as he walked through the front door, slipping of his jacket and kicking of his shoes before placing each on their respective places in the hallway. Peeking into the living room and not seeing any sign of his wife he moved to the kitchen where he found her sitting by the kitchen table, a cup of tea next to her and her flipping through a women's magazine. Knowing he would surely not understand anything in it, he didn't bother reading the title of it. Kissing the top of her head, he went to the fridge, opening it and roaming through it for something to snack on until dinner, something he did every day when he'd return home from work. "How was work?" Addison asked, putting down her magazine, direction her eyes to lock onto Zed as she anxiously waited for him to come into contact with what she had hidden in there earlier. Zed remained obvious for a while, Addison holding her breath only let it out frustrated whenever Zed would come close to find it, only to move to a different shelf. "Do we have anything I could have before dinner Addy? I'm so hungry, I'm literally starving!" he said, dismissing everything he did find in there as it either meant having to prepare it or heating up, and all he wanted was something ready to pop into his mouth right then and there. Seeing the opportunity she was quick to reply; "I think there's some leftover pizza from yesterday, on the top shelf, in the back!" Zed turned around then, raising a curious eyebrow to the eagerness in her tone. She merely smiled sweetly at him, shrugging his shoulder he searched where she had said.

Bingo.

Zed's entire body froze, his hand holding onto the mystery object Addison had hidden, his mind gone blank as he tried to register what was happening. Addison felt anxious as she waited for Zed to reply, to react or anything, the waiting killing her. She knew Zed wanted a child more than anything, not that she didn't as well, but Zed was especially excited about the idea of becoming a father. It was rather adorable.

"Is this... why is there a baby bottle in here Addy?" Zed stuttered, his body now moving as he pushed away from the fridge, closing it behind him as he turned to her, not looking at her but instead focused on the little bottle in his hand. She could almost hear the gears turning in his brain as it worked on fitting together the puzzle pieces he had been given.

"Well, we have to feed the baby once it arrives, I thought you knew that." She chuckled, standing up and moving over to him, placing her hand on his arm, looking up at him with a smile and happy tears in her eyes. He finally looked at her, and she could finally see it all become clear to him as his eyes widened. "The baby? As in?"

"Our baby." She screamed as Zed picked her up, spinning her around, yelling and whooping in excitement. "I'm going to be a daddy!"

End of flashback

"Our daughter darling is only showing of her mad cheerleading skills she's clearly inherited from you my love." Zed tried, now moving his lips way from her hand and instead placing kisses up the length of her arm.

"Yeah, I'm not so sure right now, with this attitude, you can take her." Addison demanded, not wanting to give in and melt at how cute her husband was being. She wasn't done moaning.

Zed chuckled softly, directing his eyes to her stomach instead and rested his head against it, tapping it gently. "Bean? it's daddy again." He started, switching around to sit on his knees instead of crouching so he was more at level with who he was communicating to. "I'm so excited to see how good of a cheerleader you are, but I think mommy may need a little rest before your next pep rally." He gave the bump a kiss, humming a soft tune Addison found familiar.

"I wanna see you run, anywhere you want, never let the darkness hold you back. No fear of getting lost." Zed song softly, moving his thumb in soothing circles on the top of the bump, the same soothing motion he was making on her arm. Calming them both down.

"I wanna see you fly, way beyond the sun. Anything you're ever gonna dream, I pray will come." As the baby settled, Addison liked to imagine their little girl laying inside her, listening to Zed sing, understanding how much they both loved her no matter how much Addison may complain. Sure she could be without being bloated, the morning sickness, the mood swings and ridiculous cravings, but she loved every single second of being pregnant with their precious baby girl.

Closing her eyes, she let Zed's voice relax her, falling asleep with a soft smile on her face as she thought about the day they finally got to see her.
