I eased onto the couch, grimacing when the little baby in my stomach kicked.

"Hey hey, easy there." I rubbed my extended stomach tiredly.

"MAMA MAMA MAMA!" An excited voice shrieked.

I rubbed my eye tiredly. "What is it, Adelia?"

"Look what I made!" The two-year old held up a piece of paper that had noodles glued to it.

She scrambled up onto the couch and handed it to me. I ruffled her blond hair as she hugged me.

I smiled at the paper. "It's beautiful, 'Lia." I kissed the top of her head.

She beamed, then patted my stomach before placing her ear on my belly. "Baby still in there?"

"Yup, he's not going anywhere anytime soon." I sighed.

A faint breeze moved my hair, and Adelia squealed in glee as Takuma picked her up.

"Daddy!" She laughed as he smothered her in kisses.

"Stop it, Daddy!" She laughed harder.

He laughed too, then sat her down on the couch next to me. He lightly kissed my head. "You doing okay?"

"Yeah." I sighed tiredly.

"Daddy look!" She shoved the noodle-covered paper in his face.

"What is it? You've put it so close to my face I can't see." He said.

"Oops." She giggled, pulling it away some.

He examined it, then grinned down at her. "It's perfect, sweetie."

She giggled again, then tried to pull him down onto the couch. "I wanna sit on your lap!" She whined.

He picked her up and sat down, then placed her on his lap. She fixed her pink dress, then snuggled back against him.

"Did you have a big day?" He asked.

"Yup!" She preceded to tell everything that happened.

He leaned over and lightly kissed me.

"And then I helped Mama with cookies and-"

"You made cookies?" He chuckled.

"Yeah! Ch-choc..." She stumbled on the word.

"Chocolate?" I offered.

"Yeah! Choc-o-late chip!" She chanted.

He shot me a worried look. "I'm fine." I waved my hand dismissively.

"I want one!" She slid off her dad's lap.

"Wait, have you had dinner?" He asked.

"No..." She said sadly.

I struggled to get up. "I'll-"

"Stop. I'll do it." He stopped my movements.

"But-" I tried to protest.

"Don't get out of that spot." He kissed my forehead, then scooped up Adelia and walked out of the living room.

I slowly smiled as I heard her cheer. "Yay! Pancakes for dinner!"
