"Hey you, what you up to?" Coming up behind her and sliding his arms around her waist or what was left of it due to the huge bump that his hands now rested on.

"Nothing much. Waiting for DJ to wake from his nap then maybe go for a walk before taking him to the creche. What are you doing here anyway? Have you not got work to do, people to arrest?" Hearing the slight hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"No, and even if I did I have officially started my paternity leave as of twenty minutes ago, along with the holiday time I haven't taken. I am here now for the next two month to spend time with you and DJ before this one here arrives." Rubbing his hands over her bump and feeling their daughter shift around at his touch.

"You never told me you had booked time off already. I thought you were waiting till she actually showed up before you took time off. Not that I am complaining in the slightest, especially now I look like I may actually explode. I swear I was never his big with DJ." Resting her hands on top of his and leaning back into him.

"What time is DJ due up from his nap?" As he placed a kiss on her neck and rested his chin on her shoulder as he looked at her.

"I had only just put him down before you came in so he's got two hours or just under, why?" Turning her head a little to look at him.

"You look worn out and I could use an afternoon nap. How about we go lie down and when DJ is due up you stay and rest and I can take him to the creche." Kissing her neck as he spoke.

"That does sound good, but I am coming to the creche. I need some fresh air and the exercise may help move things along. This one is stubborn like you and won't shift, I knew she would take after you. I never got to 38 weeks with DJ did I, he wanted out at 37 which I was more than happy about." Turning around to face him as they both looked down at the bump between them.

"You do look huge when you stand like that." Earning him a death glare. "But it could just be the fact that I don't actually look down on her like this very often." Trying for a quick recovery before she hit him.

"Nice save their mister. Since it's your fault that I am not only pregnant but also the fact your daughter is stubborn like you then yes I could use I lie down but only after I do this." Stepping up as best as she could on her tiptoes to kiss him.

Feeling her kiss him he leant down to save her stretching and kissed her back. The problem was she had more than kissing him in mind as she slid a hand up to his head to hold him to her. The kiss stretched out and became more passionate as they let their tongues explore each other's mouths. Breaking for air he pulled back a little and looked down at her. That was his undoing when he looked down as he had a clear view of her now huge cleavage.

"Bed now, we can work this out when we get there." Taking her hand and leading her through the house to their bedroom.

"You sure you can do this with..." But she cut him off as she pulled his head down to her and kissed him.

Working open his shirt she slid her hands over his chest when she was done and let out a moan as she felt his hands slip under her top and come to rest on her cleavage.

"God these are huge." As he massaged her through her bra.

He wasn't lying when he said she was huge, as far as he knew she had gone up four bra sizes since she became pregnant. He was by no means complaining as he brought his other hand up to join the first as he massaged her. All she could do was moan as she pushed her chest further into his hands. Reaching down she felt under her bump and started to undo the button and zipper on her jeans. She somehow managed to get her jeans down and wriggle half out of them as he stood fully clothed.

Pulling his jeans and shirt off she copied him but never got past her jeans before she got tangled up as the bump got in the way. Being a gentleman, he stopped kissing her long enough to remove the remainder of clothes he had on plus all of hers till they were both naked. Looking at the bed then back at her and the bump he had no idea how they were going to do this but going on the smile on her face she knew what she was doing. Taking his hand, she led him around the bed till they came to the dresser that was stood up against the wall. Turning so she had her back to him she looked at him through the mirror and smiled as she rested her hands on the edge of the dresser and pushed her ass back a little causing his groin to come in contact with it.

Waiting till she stood still, he looked at her in the mirror and put his hand on her hips. Using his other hand, he guided himself to her due to the odd angle they were at. As he joined them both together he put his other hand on her hip and used that as leverage and support. Soon he felt them both building due to the fact it had been awhile and also had a lot to do with the fact he could see her in the mirror and he got to watch her as they both built to completion, taking him over with her as she moaned his name. Keeping hold of her hips he looked at her and saw the small smile creep up on her face. Seeing her smile made him smile.

"What's got you smiling?" Moving back so he dropped away from her but making sure he stayed close behind her.

"I am 38 weeks pregnant and we still manage to have sex. On saying that apparently sex can actually be good for you, there is supposed to be some chemical in sperm that can help bring on labour. Or it could be the fact that we now have one very upset little girl for being woke up by what we just did." Standing up and turning to face him.

They both looked down at her bump and sure enough, there was one very wriggling baby showing her disgust at being woke up by her parent's sex life.

"Maybe we should try that nap now and see if that helps." Resting his hands either side of the bump only to have his hand kicked away by the foot imprint that could be seen as his daughter tried to move in the very tight space she was in.

Removing his hands, he walked over to the bed and pulled the covers back so they could both get in. Turning he looked at his very naked and very pregnant girlfriend and could help the smile that crept up on his face.

"Now it's my turn to ask what on earth you are now smiling about?" As she waddled her way over to the bed and sat down.

"You, you look so damn beautiful I just can't help it." Seeing her frown.

"How the hell I look anything but huge is beyond me. I can't even get into bed without help." Giving him the big pet lip when she released she wasn't actually lying.

Shaking his head and laughing he came around the bed and helped her bring her legs up and onto the bed. Waiting till she was half lying, half sitting he covered her over and came around to climb in beside her. Once he was covered over he shuffled over in the bed and cuddled up to her as best as he could. Since she couldn't really cuddle him she was happy to let him rest his head on her rather huge cleavage and tuck his arm either over or up under the bump which he did. Once he was snuggled up to her side she kissed the top of his head and wrapped her arm around his shoulder.

"Another reason this one wants to get a move on is I need a cuddle that doesn't involve you having your head buried in my boobs with that dopey grin on your face." Feeling him laugh against her side because she was indeed right.

"I have to say that is not a disadvantage from where I am, but I would like to be able to pull you to me and just hold all of you while we sleep." Moving his head to look up at her but not taking it from his new found favourite pillow.

"Enjoy it while you can because if you remember once she arrives you lose your pillow to her." Watching as he brought a hand up and rested it on the boob he wasn't using as a pillow.

"Oh, I remember only too well, that is a mistake I won't make twice." Letting his memory goes back to just after DJ was born and he ended up very wet after cuddling up to her chest.

"Didn't you say something about sleep? DJ has to be up in an hour as he has crèche after lunch." Running her fingers through his hair as she felt their daughter kick his arm.

"Well shh and close your eyes. I set my phone so go to sleep." Feeling around till he found her other hand and slotting his fingers through hers.

Lying still he felt himself falling asleep but gave himself a shake. He knew if he fell asleep she would complain as she was still awake.

"You're not going to sleep, are you. What's bothering you?" Moving to sit up a little so he was at her side.

"My legs are restless, my back hurts and she will not get her fist out my bladder, feel." Bringing his hand up to the side of her bump and letting him feel the slight movements as their daughter did indeed punch her bladder.

"Well the punching I can't do much about but the other two I can. Legs first then back." Kicking off the covers and looking down at her legs.

Getting off the bed he came around and kneeled on the bed between her legs. Starting with one foot he started to apply very light pressure as he worked his way up her legs to her knee and then back down. Changing legs, he did the same and then sat back and looked up. He was pleased to see she had a small smile on her face now.

"Right roll on your side so I can do your back now." Moving so she could do a sort of shuffle roll till she was lying as best as she could on her side.

Kneeling this time on the floor he started at the top of her back and worked down to her waist and then back up several times until he felt her relaxing. Letting his finger skim over her back he knew she was finally asleep when she didn't complain about him tickling her. Standing up he looked down at her and just stood watching her sleep. As she slept her hand rested protectively on their daughter while she kicked away. He could never understand how any woman slept when pregnant and he had slept with two now. Stepping to the foot of the bed he pulled the covers up over her and covered her. Seeing his phone light up, he quickly moved to pick it before it made any noise and switched the alarm off. Bending over he placed a very light kiss on her head.

"Love you, baby, sleep well." Before leaving the room and closing the door to keep the noise out.

Making his way through to DJ's room he pushed the door open and looked in to find his son was still fast asleep curled up with the teddy bear Christopher had bought him when he was born and the blanket Loretta had made him. He loved them two singular items more than anything in the world. His blanket went everywhere with him and he couldn't sleep without the bear. Walking into the bedroom he moved the bear out of his sons reach and then slowly prised the blanket out of his grip. He knew once DJ felt his things were missing he would wake up and sure enough within a minute DJ stirred and groped around sleepy for his things. Not finding them he opened his eyes and looked around for his blanket and bear. Instead of his blanket and bear, he was greeted with the face of his father which made him instantly smile.

"Well hello, there little man, Mom says it's time to get up so its time to get up." Reaching down and scooping his son up in his arms.

Picking DJ up he carried him through to the lounge but not before getting the clothes that Merri had laid out for him for crèche.

"Right buddy how about we have coffee and juice before we get you washed and ready and maybe some of daddy's special cookies if Mom hasn't eaten them all." Putting DJ in his high chair and tying him in.

"So it's gonna be me and you know till your baby sister gets here. What do you think of that then?" Setting the coffee brewing and then going to make DJ's juice.

"Baby, baby." Came the response from DJ as he watched his father make his juice and get the cookie jar.

"Cookie dada, cookie." DJ squealed as he saw his father bring him a cookie and put his juice cup on his tray.

"That's right little man cookie." Giving his son's dark brown wavy hair a ruffle.

Turning to pour his coffee out he picked a couple of cookies up and went to sit at the table beside DJ. As he sat watching his son eating his cookie and drinking his juice he was lost in thought at what it would be like in a few weeks when there was four of them in the house. He couldn't wait till Merri gave birth and they finally got to meet their daughter. Even though this was his third child he was still just as in awe as when Laurel was born. He knew Merri would miss being pregnant at some point, but he also knew she would be more than happy when the baby arrived. He was brought out of his thoughts when a flying cup smacked him on the leg.

"I take it you're finished then. Come on, let's get you bathed and ready." Lifting the small boy up and tickling him as he did.

After one very wet and messy bath, he managed to dry and wrestle DJ into his clean clothes before putting him in his cot to play as he cleaned and dried the mess up. Once done up checked his watch and saw they had thirty minutes till crèche. Seeing it was a lovely warm day he decided he could walk DJ instead of taking the car since Merri was still sleeping. That way she got more peace and he got to spend some time with DJ before dropping him off.

"Come on buddy let's get you to crèche and we can leave Mom sleeping." Picking DJ and heading back to the Kitchen.

Scribbling a note in case Merri got up before he got back he got his phone and keys and picked up DJ's bag before heading out the door with DJ to walk to crèche. DJ loved the walk through the city as his father pointed things out and tickled him as they went. When he dropped him off he got a huge grin on his face as he got a big sloppy kiss and waved at as he left. On the walk home, he picked up a box of Merri's favourite chocolates and a bunch of flowers. He knew he didn't spoil her nearly as she much deserved but being 8 and a half months pregnant limited what they could do especially with DJ. Arriving home, he walked into the house and found the place was still quiet. After brewing more coffee, he walked on tiptoes back to their bedroom. Opening the bedroom door, he saw that Merri was awake and sitting up with her hands on her bump. Coming around the bed he looked down at her and saw the look on her face as he knelt down beside her.

"What is it? You're not in labour, are you? I know my sperm is good, but I didn't think it would work that quick, I was hoping I got a couple more tries before it worked." Resting his hand on her leg and waiting for her to look at him.

"You're not that good King, just practise ones sent to build my hopes up and then disappear in an hour or so like they have done for the past few weeks." Shuffling to the edge of the bed and pushed herself to standing.

Standing up King took her hand and squeezed it as he dropped his head a little and kissed her cheek. He slid his arm around her still naked waist and they started to walk towards the door.

"DJ go to crèche okay? Didn't complain like he has been the past week. I think he knows things will change soon and he's playing up so he can stay home." Stopping just as another pain crossed her abdomen.

"You sure there practise ones right?" Earring him an elbow to the ribs.

"Yes, I am sure. I need some clothes before I go for a shower." Stopping to pick up some clothes as she felt King hovering at her side.

Gathering her clothes together, she headed for the bathroom with him still walking beside her and not wanting to leave. Even when she was in the bathroom she noticed he seemed very reluctant to leave her side. Standing in the shower he still stood there watching her, not sure what to do.

"King go make coffee for when I get out instead of standing there." Turning away from him to get washed.

"Fine but shout if you need me okay." Finally leaving her to get washed and ready.

She caught sight of him walking away just as another pain gripped her abdomen. She had, to be honest, she wasn't sure if these were real or practise contractions. They didn't feel as strong as when she was in labour with DJ, but they did feel a little different from the ones she had been having over the past couple of weeks. They didn't last long at all and were very infrequent so she decided as she let the water run over her bump she would wait and see what happened.

Getting out the showers and switching it off she got dried and as best as she could but gave up with her lower half, she would have to let King help her. Putting her bra and top on she grabbed the towel and the rest of her clothes before heading to the lounge. On her way there she stuck her head around the kitchen door and asked if he could help her. He was at her side instantly as she sat on the couch and passed him the towel. Taking his time he dried her legs and helped her slide her panties and pants on before helping her to stand up. It was as he was pulling up her pants and his head rested very gently on her bump he felt it. Her bump seemed to contract and hardened as he looked up at her and saw her face contort in pain.

"Where's your hospital bag? That did not feel like nothing." Waiting till she opened her eyes.

"Dwayne I am not going to the hospital yet. They're not lasting long enough and there to far apart. They will check me over and send me back home. Let's wait and see okay. If it gets worse or they get stronger and last longer then we can go in I promise." Running he hand over his face and cupping his cheek.

"Fine but sit there and get your feet up." Pulling her pants up and standing up in front of her.

"What are you doing? I am not sitting around on my own unless you either join me or you find something to help me pass the time." Giving him one of them looks that said she was too far pregnant to argue but not too far to give a little fight.

"I will make coffee and something for us to eat then we can sit there and do nothing together. I said I was off for two months so I get to spend the whole two months looking after both my girls and my little man when he's here." Helping her sit down and swing her feet up till she was comfortable.

"Fine." As she settled back further into the cushions and looking as he went towards the Kitchen.

He had only been here a couple of hours and he was already hovering and mollycoddling her. She understood his concern but she was fine and this was the second time around. She would leave him to it and see how things went before she felt the need to bring in death threats. Resting her hands on her bump she closed her eyes and waited as another pain came on. Letting it pass she kept her eyes closed and sat quietly, she knew it wouldn't last and she was going to enjoy the few minutes she got whenever she got it.
