Noel sat, laughing quietly as he watched Dee. She lay flat on the floor, trying with all her might to do up her black skinnies. She sighed and let her hands fall to her sides.
"No use. I'm getting a bump already!" she complained laughing along with Noel.
"You'll be able to wear them after the babies been born," he soothed, resting a hand on Dee's stomach as she sat next to him.
"Noel…you know you wear skinnies most of the time?" she asked, resting a head on his shoulder.
"Yeah."
"Doesn't it hurt?" she asked, the corners of her mouth twitching with a smile. He pulled away, grinning, "What?"
"Y'know…doesn't it hurt your balls?" She asked innocently, running a finger up his leg. Noel burst out laughing.
"Dee! Well…they…they work don't they?" he countered, flustered. Bemused, Dee watched him, the confusion evident on her face.
"Well you're pregnant. So it's obvious they work! So…no it doesn't hurt…much…"
Dee laughed, leaning on Noels shoulder again.
"Now horse-riding…that's a different matter…" he continued, stroking Dee's arm, "tried to canter but it hurt too much…I had to ride side-saddle for the rest of the session," he cringed and Dee shook her head.
"Noel…" she started, suddenly serious, "you're sure you want this baby right?"
Noel pulled away, turning to face Dee.
"Of course I do!"
"'Coz…it's not too late…if you didn't…" she finished, making Noel grab her by the shoulders tightly.
"Don't you dare! I want this baby with you! Don't get rid of it…" he pleaded, holding her close and stroking her hair. She sighed contentedly, nuzzling into his chest comfortably.
"There you go…just calm down…relax yeah?" he soothed, smiling down at her. She grinned and poked her tongue out.
"You're not my doctor!"
"Nope. I'm the father of your child. That's more important," he boasted, grinning and thrusting his chest out importantly. Dee laughed, shaking her head, then looked down at her unbuttoned jeans.
"I'm gonna get fat…" she sighed, leaning back against the headboard of the bed. Noel shook his head, leaning back and wrapping an arm around her.
"Yep. But you'll still be all pwitti!" he comforted, making Dee giggle.
"That is so corny. But still sweet. Thanks Noel." Slowly relaxing, she snuggled up to him, yawning and sighing happily.
"What d'ya wanna call it?" she asked tiredly, stroking a hand up and down his chest lazily.
"Uhh…I dunno…I like (insert name here) if it's a boy…or…uhh…I dunno…if it's a girl you can pick the name coz I can't think of girls names," he pondered, eyes drooping. Dee nodded, then fell asleep, letting her head fall onto Noels chest softly.
