You requested more pregnant Erin mood swings, so this is my attempt at delivering. Also, Shout out to my new Pal linsteadlove for helping me come up with how I was going to write this chapter, you're the best!

Noises coming from down the hall woke Jay from his slumber at 3am. He looked next to him and realized that Erin was no longer in bed. Slightly confused he peeled himself from the warm sheets and made his way down the hall. He was shocked, slightly disgusted, and also humored by when he saw.

Erin sat on the floor of the kitchen with a carton of chocolate ice cream atop her five month along rounding belly. An open jar of kosher dill pickles sat to the left of her, along with an open bag of cool ranch Doritos.

Her mouth was full of a combination of all the foods when she noticed Jay had walked in. Her eyes widened as though she'd been caught doing something wrong.

Jay struggled to hold back a hysterical laugh for a moment. "For some reason I don't for see any local ice cream shops adding a cool ranch, dill pickle sundae to the menu." He joked before finally allowing himself to laugh.

Erin swallowed the mouthful of her pregnancy cravings. "Are you making fun of me, Jay?"

"No, It's just a funny food combination, especially at 3 am." He responded with a sense of comicality still present.

Erin felt tears began to well up against her control, and her bottom lip started to quiver. "This isn't a joke, Jay!" She began to cry. "You did this to me!" She pointed down at he stomach. "Do you think I don't know this is disgusting, because I do. But I don't need you coming out here and criticizing me. I was perfectly content to hide out and shove my fucking face all alone. Then you came out here, and now you're calling me fat and disgusting." She was crying uncontrollably.

Jay threw his hands up as though he was surrendering. "Whoa, whoa. Erin what are you talking about? I never said you were disgusting or fat."

"You were thinking it. I can tell."

"Baby, no I wasn't"

"Yes you were because it's true!"

Jay took a seat next to her on the ground pressing his back against the cupboards. "Shh. Shh. Careful Micah's asleep." He tried to quiet her as delicately as possible. Erin's mood swings during this pregnancy were crazy. She became a completely different person. Normal Erin was confident, independent, and pretty relaxed. Pregnant Erin was moody, unpredictable, and required constant reassurance.

Her mood swings had led to Erin accusing him of hitting on both Burgess, and Nadia at work. In Erin's hormonal insecure state she believed that she had witnessed her husband flirting with both women although it wasn't the truth. Both times she had accused him, the conversations had been completely work related and lacking any flirty vibes what so ever.

Now her new thing was to point out other pregnant woman in public and ask Jay if she looked more pregnant then them. For Jay it was hell. It always left him stuck between a rock and a hard place, because there was no right answer. The first time she'd asked he was honest and replied 'yes' that Erin looked more pregnant. This resulted in an offended eye roll, and the silent treatment until they got back to the car where she yelled at him for 'calling her fat.'

She asked again in the supermarket a few days later when they walked past another pregnant woman. This time Jay decided to lie telling her 'no' she did not look more pregnant than the other pregnant lady, yet Erin was pissed again. This time she claimed Jay was lying to her.

Now whenever Jay saw another pregnant woman approaching he pretended to be on his phone, or looked the other way so he could pretend to have not seen her. He had learned his lesson.

On the kitchen floor, Erin resumed her crying rant in a slightly lower octave. "I'm hungry all the damn time, I eat the nastiest things, and huge. I'm disgusting, and don't even try to lie to me because we both know it's true."

Jay wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her in a little closer to him. She rested her head against his chest. "No way, baby. I don't think you are disgusting at all. Of course you're hungry, you're eating for two, but you aren't fat at all. I love your little pregnant belly." He kissed her temple and set his hand on her growing stomach. "You are definitely the hottest pregnant woman I've ever seen. Actually you are the sexiest most gorgeous woman I've ever seen period, pregnant or not."

"You're just saying that because you think you have to." She sniffled now that the tears had stopped.

"What? No way." He went on dramatically. "I would so seduce you right here, right now. Even with your ice cream, cool ranch, pickle breath. That's how sexy I think you are." Erin let out a small chuckle in return.

Jay looked her in the eyes with a small grin. "Now are my gorgeous wife, and my baby girl still hungry, or are they ready to go back to bed?" He asked sweetly.

Erin nodded her head. "Ready for bed." She replied sticking her spoon into the chocolate ice cream and taking one last bite, before Jay helped her to her feet.

Jay put away the food before following Erin back down the hall to their bedroom. He reached out and pinched her butt as they walked just to reassure her that he still found to be attractive.

Erin smirked knowing he had done it on purpose. She was aware of how insane she was behaving, but she just couldn't help it. Having Jay be so supportive, and go out of his way to reassure her made her feel so incredibly grateful to have him as her husband and as the father of her children.
