Moments of Mallie

Growing out

Callie stood facing the ceiling length sliding door that doubled as a mirror against the opposite wall. Her face was slowly but surely turning a bright red as she held her breath but her rounded stomach was as flat as she could possibly get it. After several moments she gasped sucking in a long breath of air and let out a long, loud string of curse words that echoed around the room. Looking up at the mirror again she let her arms fall to her sides in disappointment and glared at herself before trying once more to force the tiny silver button through the hole in her jeans.

After several more attempts Callie let out a loud cry and slid down the wall exhausted and frustrated.

"Baby I don't know if that language is entirely appropriate for the baby" Looking up she glared at the man who entered the bedroom buttoning up his black shirt effortlessly. She sighed before she ran a hand over her face,

"What's wrong?" he asked a second later and Callie could hear the concern in his voice. Opening her eyes she peered up at Mark who's face was creased with confusion. She just pointed to her jeans and he quickly caught on when he saw her favourite pair undone.

"I'm getting fatter" she said and Mark raised an eyebrow at her trying with all his might not to smile at his devastated wife on the ground in front of him,

"No you aren't honey you're pregnant" but his logical response wasn't enough for her. Callie extended her arm holding up her hand for him and he gently pulled her upright until she was standing in front of him. She grabbed his hand and led them to the bed,

"You know Cal I'd love to but we really have to get to wor-" he stopped with a smile and finished his sentence with a laugh when she turned to glare at him once again. Instead she flopped backwards onto the bed and grabbed each side of her jeans,

"Pull these together" Mark let out a laugh,

"Please!" She added a little more desperately,

"Cal we can get you some more jeans" he said looking down at her,

"Sloan!" she yelled and before he knew it he was leaning over the bed holding her jeans and pulling them tighter around her hips,

"Pull, pull, pull, pull" she encouraged and then sucked in her breath again laying a hand on her stomach. Mark just climbed onto the bed straddling her hips.

"Cal don't hold your breath our baby needs its oxygen" he said smirking at her actions while he still attempted to wrestle her jeans together. A second later he stopped and shook his head,

"Sweetheart you're just going to have to accept it okay, we'll go shopping after work alright?" he tried but he could tell she was on the verge of either throwing a hissy fit or bursting out in tears and he wasn't exactly sure which one he'd prefer,

"Cal it's to be expected plus it means our baby's growing properly" he said comfortingly hoping, praying, begging and everything else for her not to get upset.

She sighed in exasperation and he in relief as he pulled her up into a sitting position while he turned and pulled out another pair of jeans for her that he knew she thought were too big. After he'd grabbed the end of her jeans and managed to tug them from off her legs with an effort since they were so tight he crouched down and let her step into the new pair that were receiving a harsh glare from his wife. He pulled the denim up over her legs and still crouching he easily slipped the button through the hole. And just before he stood up he raised her shirt and kissed her belly quickly before bouncing up and kissing her.

When they pulled apart she grinned against his lips,

"Thank you" he smiled and kissed her again,

"Now let's go cause we're late!"
