I do not own Hey Arnold
After the doctor appointment and talking to Phoebe yesterday, all Helga wanted to do is stay in bed all day and relax. Due to pregnancy the morning sickness was not letting her to relax, she felt she throw up her inside. She was emotionally exhausted about her situation with Arnold. So today Helga decided she was going to stay home and work on her book that is due in three days. She went down stairs to make her-self green tea and toast to settle her stomach and headed up stairs went to get back in bed with her laptop on her lap and started typing away.
After working on her book for three hours with minimal distractions, she had sixty pages written down. Helga looked at the clock it was one in the afternoon; decided to make something to eat to recharge but her lower bladder was saying it time for a bathroom break as well. She was walking to the bathroom when she passed in front of the mirror, she stop to looked at herself and notice a little bump forming she lift up her shirt and starting rubbing her little bump; she had a big smile on her face she couldn't believe in a week she will be four months. But something dawn on her what will happen? Will her marriage be repaired? Helga had a lot of think about since she has another person to worry about. She shook her head and put that thought in the back of her mind for now; she made her way to the bathroom.
*ring ring*
Running from the bathroom to the bedroom to get her cell that was ringing she looked at the screen and it was her sister.
"Hello"
"Baby sister how are you?"
"Olga I am doing well you know morning sickness but in bed working on my book and you? Where is everyone?
"Hank and the kids are down by the river so I am making lunch and took this time since it's quiet to call you and see how you doing. And I am sorry about your morning sickness I wish I was there to help you with that."
"I appreciate the call and glad you guys are enjoying your vacation, and Olga its okay I can handle the morning sickness I drank green tea and ate toast to settle my stomach which worked."
"Oh baby sister I am going to be honest it going to get worst as the months passes." Said Olga
"Thanks for the prep talk and the warning." Helga said as she rolled her eyes.
"I am just telling you the truth, well let me let you go since Hank and the kids will be walking in soon, you know how loud everybody can get okay. Call me if anything okay."
"Okay Olga, send the family my love."
"I will bye baby sister."
Helga hung up the phone was about to head the down stairs and when her cell phone rang again.
"Is everything okay Olga?" Helga said as she picked up the phone.
"Yes but I am not Olga, it's your best friend Phoebe." Phoebe said jokingly.
"Sorry Pheebs, I was speaking with Olga a minute ago. What up?"
"Nothing, are you busy right now?" asked Phoebe
"No I was going to make something to eat." answered Helga.
"Well I have a two hour lunch break and since my job is close to your sister house, I can pick up lunch for us and spend some time with you." said Phoebe
"That sweet Phoebe, sure come on over do you want me to do anything?" asked Helga.
"Not really, unless you have the chocolate covered apple as dessert but if not that's okay." said Phoebe.
"I'll make some don't worry, I'll leave the door open just holler when you are here."
"Okay see you in a few."
"See you then."
Helga decided to change out of her pj's and into regular clothes. She went to her closet and took out a v-neck shirt with sweats; it was not like she was going out. She put her hair in a bun and headed downstairs. Helga prepared the chocolate and took out the apples from the pantry. She dipped eight slices of apples (if you cut a whole apple they give you four slices) and put the apples in the freezer so the chocolate can cool off.
"Helga I am here." hollered Phoebe.
"Meet me in the dining room, I am just grabbing couple of things." hollered Helga.
Phoebe took off her heels and hung her bag on the hanger. She walked to the dining room she saw Helga had set up the table. Helga walked in with napkins and utensils.
"Hey Pheebs, what did you bring?"
"I went to the buffet and I got you bbq chicken, mash potato, carrots and peas. And for me I got noodles with shrimp, sushi roll, and carrots. I brought small roles for us." Phoebe said while she took out the food.
"Yummy and I got the chocolate covered apples in the freezer that should be ready in forty-five minutes."
Both girls to a seat from across from one another, both girls dig in. After eating Phoebe helped Helga clear up the table and clean the dishes they took out the dessert; each took even number of slices and made their way to the leaving room to chat.
"How the book coming along?" asked Phoebe.
"Good, I wrote sixty pages this morning and might write ten pages later on. Mr. Davis is expecting to see me Friday. We are going to discuss upcoming events which you might need to attend." answered Helga.
"That's awesome and sure just let me know what are the dates so I can put it in my schedule. Hey you never know this might be your third big hit." said Phoebe.
"Oh gosh I hope so Pheebs now that the baby is on the way we are going to need the money. From what I hear babies are expensive."
"That is true, my mom told me stories and every time I speak to Patty she tells me she spends hundreds of dollars on diapers. Also on clothes since Harold Jr. is growing out of it already."
"Geesh that a lot of money man; this book need to be a hit and sells fast. And what about you?"
"What you mean?" asked Phoebe
"I mean when I should be expecting a niece or nephew from you and Gerald?"
Phoebe blushed at the comment.
"Well uhm Gerald and I have started, so hopefully soon."
"Oh my gosh Phoebe, I hope so to so you can join me in this pregnancy roller coaster."
"Me too." Phoebe starting rubbing her belly, Phoebe has a face that Helga knows too well.
"Okay Phoebe what's on your mind?"
"Well with this baby talk have you thought about what you goanna do? I mean are you going to live here when the baby comes or you going back home? What are your plans is what I am asking." Phoebe has been wondering.
"After our conversation last night I stood up for a little while and I started thinking. It would be wise to move back home with Arnold, it's not Olga reasonability to help me at this time she was not the one who knocked me up. But it something I have to think about I have to talk to Olga and Arnold." said Helga.
"That is true; you have to think about it carefully. You are about to be four months and time goes fast. But the one thing I know Arnold is excited for the baby." Phoebe said.
"How do you know?" asked Helga.
"When we got off the phone, Gerald got off the phone with Arnold as well. Gerald mentioned that Arnold was nervous about the baby but is excited. He mentioned Arnold planning to fix one of the rooms for the baby"
"That's good, well if he going to that he gonna need me to pick out the baby furniture since he does not have a sense of style and he not the only one nervous." added Helga.
"Have you talked to him?" asked Phoebe
"Only yesterday, today is his weekly meeting with the big board and he won't be home till ten." answered Helga.
"Oh okay that good to know, oh I forgot to mention are you going to Rhonda baby shower next month?"
"Yup Arnold and I send our rsvp last month. Which reminds me I have to get something for the shower." said Helga
"Same here, we should go shopping together. Do you know what she is having?" asked Phoebe
"She having a boy, Curly is excited but Rhonda is terrified." Said Helga
"Why?"
" Do you remember Curly as a kid? He was crazy!" said Helga
"Haha is true but I think she will be fine. So how are you getting to the ranch?"asked Phoebe
Helga groaned
"Damn, I forgot her baby shower is at the ranch and that's a three hour drive, why does she have to have it there? Why it couldn't be at her house? To answer your question I might have Arnold drive me since we are both invited and I do not want anybody to know our business." Helga groaned even more.
"You know how Rhonda is; plus they just moved in to their new home so it won't be ready. I know Gerald is not happy about that."
"Do you know who going?" asked Helga
"Rhonda and Curly family, Nadine and Peapod with their one year old son Jayson, Harold and Patty with their son Harold Jr. Lorenzo and Nadine with their baby girl Jasmine, Brainy and Annabelle with their five year old Nikki and their six month old daughter Samantha. Eugene and Sheena, Lila and Stinky, Sid and Sophia with their five year old son Alex and Arnold and you. Lastly, some people for their jobs. I am guessing hundred to one-fifty of people coming to the shower." Phoebe explained
"Wow that a lot people that are going. But I am glad to see people that we went to school with, I am glad Sid and Sophia are still together. I remember they were having problems since they got pregnant on the last year of high school and Sid didn't want to grow up so that brought problems to their relationship. "
"Yup but he came around and now they are engaged" said Phoebe
"That is true." Said Helga
"After Rhonda baby shower, soon it will be yours and I cannot wait." Said Phoebe
"Oh gosh once Rhonda finds out I am pregnant she going to go nuts planning my shower." commented Helga.
"Yeah right by the time your baby shower comes Rhonda baby will be born she will to busy with her baby, plus she will have to pry the planning off Olga's and mine hands. There no way she planning your shower I your best friend and it's my job."
"Oh gosh knowing you and Olga are you guys will go nuts." Helga said.
Phoebe started laughing "That's true."
Both women kept chatting and laughing. The next thing they know Phoebe lunch break was over the said their goodbyes, Helga continue working on her book.
Arnold Pov.
It's was close to ten thirty when Arnold struggled up the steps to his front door. Today was busier than any other day, he had one meeting which ran for two hours and than a surprise meeting his boss set up, which ran another two hours. Than one hours lunch break, if you call working on paper and evaluations a lunch break. After lunch three clients showed up at the same time. He couldn't figure out how that happened but he saw all three clients. The last client didn't leave till seven in the evening; Arnold finished up his paper work and went home. As of right now all he wanted to do was shower and go to bed. It's was little after midnight when his phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw Helga name pop up.
"Hey is everything okay?"
"Hey I know it's late and I am pretty sure you were in bed but I need a favor." said Helga
"No it's no problem, is everything okay? How the baby? What is the favor?"
Helga giggle
Arnold missed her giggle, later he will make a mental note.
"Relax Arnold, the baby is fine (she giggle again), it's just well it more of getting me something." said Helga
"Sure what do you want me to get you?" Arnold was already putting his shoes on and looking for his wallet.
"Hum well it's going to sound weird so I hope you have paper and pen ready."
"Okay give me a minute while I look for one." Arnold went around the room found a pen and a note pad.
"Okay I am ready."
"Okay I was a rocky road ice cream with sprinkles and slice pickles with caramel on top. Also I would like a sandwich with rye bread liverish and peanut butter with it."
Arnold look on the choices and it had him cringing for a bit since it was a weird combo.
"Hum Helga are you sure you want this?" asked Arnold
"Yes plus it's the baby that wants it so are you denying the baby needs?" questioned Helga
"Of course not I am just making sure; okay I'll get it for you I will let you know when I am in front of the house."
"Okay thank you."
Arnold grab the list and his wallet and was the out the door.
/
Arnold spend an hour looking for a store that was open after midnight but he mange to find one, once he got everything he needed he texted Helga he would be there in ten minutes, she texted okay. It's started to pour outside when Arnold reached Olga house he parked his car on the drive way and rang the doorbell, the door open revealed Helga wearing a flannel pants and a pink t-shirt.
"About time I was about the eat the couch." snapped Helga
"Sorry the only store I can find that was open was located the other side of town." answered Arnold
"Alright fine, I believe you." Helga grabbed the bag and started walking to her room
"Well if that everything, I should head home."
"No you are not its pouring out there, its look like it getting worst so it not safe to drive." Responded Helga
"Its fine I will alright." said Arnold
"You may think that but no I want my baby have it father around, so take off your coat, hang it up and take off your shoes you know how Olga hates it when there mud in the house. Meet me in my room and we can watch a movie." said Helga
Arnold obeyed, he felt awkward since it brought back memories when Arnold use to sneak into Helga room and they had their run of fun. Arnold made his way to Helga room lucky it's located on the first floor. Once inside he saw Helga eating her food on the bed he took the lounge chair in the corner of the room and face the TV.
"After a while your back is going to hurt, so if I were you join me on the bed." said Helga
"Are you sure? I don't want you to feel uncomfortable." said Arnold
"Yes I am sure and it won't; it's not like I am asking for sex cause it will be a while for that." Said Helga
Arnold was happy that he get to share the bed with his wife again but sad since it showed Helga still didn't trust him and also means it will be awhile before she move back with him. All he can do is be patient and make sure he is doing everything he can to win her trust and get his family back.
"So what are we watching?" asked Arnold
"Evil Twin XI" answered Helga
"Nice"
About an hour into the movie Helga took Arnold hand and put it over her belly, Arnold looked at her all puzzled. She just smiled.
"I realized you never felt the belly since I moved out and I am pretty sure you been dying to feel It." said Helga
Arnold smiled and starts rubbing her belly, he looks at his wife and he notices how she has this glow on her. He wanted to kiss her but he held back since it is too soon, he kept rubbing her belly and turned to watch the movie. About an hour and half the movie were over and the two blondes were fast asleep (back to back).
/
The sun rose and made it way to a room making two blondes cringed at the light. Helga was first to be awake since something was making it way up so she had to get up and run to the bathroom. The sound of the door being slammed woke up Arnold he made his way to the bathroom and helped her by keeping her hair up. This went on for a couple minutes; Helga washed her teeth and join Arnold in her room. Arnold was giving her a worried look.
"I am fine Arnold." Said Helga
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Is it like that every morning?" asked Arnold
"No not really, there are some morning's where I am vomiting a lot more and some days where I don't, don't get me wrong I hate but I look down and I know it worth." Helga look down to her little bump start rubbing it. Arnold makes his way over and put his hand on her belly as he put his hand he felt something that made him move his hand.
"Whoa what was that?" Arnold asked Helga
"Arnold that was our baby first kick."
"What? But isn't early to feel any movement?"
"Yes but people are different and some people can feel their baby kick earlier as 13 weeks, I am already 14 1/2 weeks." Said Helga
"Wow" Arnold places both of his hands on her baby for the second time he felt his baby kicking.
Helga was trying to hold back her tears this is the moment she saw the old Arnold she fell in love with. This was supposed to be the happiest moment in their marriage, but all she can think about how he cheated and living in separate houses. Helga knew they need to talk about their marriage soon before the baby is born. Helga looked at the clock and realized it was close to nine she knew both of them had to work.
"Okay enough rubbing the belly it's almost nine and we both have to work." Said Helga
"Alright, call me if you need anything okay."
"Do not worry I will take you on that offer, but Arnold we need to talk soon I am hitting four months in a week and if we want this marriage to work this talk needs to happen soon." Said Helga
Arnold looks at Helga he knew this talk was important, it can either make or break their marriage but he cannot hold it off any longer. So he agreed on meeting any day she wants and he will be honest with her cause at the end of the day the women he is looking at is the love of his life and if he loses her he will lose a part of him and it scared him. Helga walked Arnold out the door to his car; she waited till he was out of the drive way and down the street to walk back to the house. Today was the day she realized how much she missed him but she knew she cannot give in easily she have to make sure if he really love her and taking this marriage seriously.
