Chapter 25
-12:35-
Despite Lilith's earlier assurance, Snake worried for her overall well-being. Of course, he mainly blamed his anxiety on the unknown and the fact that all this was completely new to him. Sure, he was probably overthinking things, but still..
"Mm, Hubert? Why are you still awake," Lilith tiredly asked as he lovingly cradled her swollen belly.
"I couldn't sleep," he admitted with a sigh, to which she gently pulled his face down to her level and began kissing his cheeks.
"Do you want to talk about it," she asked in a soft/whisper-like tone, causing him to emit a lustful groan as her nimble fingers traced down his neck and chest before teasingly circling his slit (which was conveniently between her legs at the moment).
"Mmm, maybe later. Right now, I just want to indulge in you." Allowing himself to enjoy the moment, Snake began sensually kissing her neck, while his tail lightly traced over her clit.
"O-Oh, Hubert..Mmm, yes.."
At her encouraging moans, he moved down to her breasts and frowned at her maternity bra blocking his targeted destination. Seeing his dilemma, Lilith unlatched one of the cups, allowing him access, to which he slowly kissed a trail down to her nipple and lapped up the exposed milk droplets before latching on and suckling her sweet/life-sustaining nectar, while being mindful of his fangs.
"Oh, Daddy…"
Smiling at the parental title, he tenderly kissed a trail over to her other breast (which she uncovered for him), allowing him to latch on, while continuing to massage her clit with the tip of his tail; however, as he was about to penetrate her entrance (with his tail), she suddenly emitted a pained groan, which prompted him to stop and ask, "Is everything alright?"
"Y-Yes, I'm fine..Just braxton hicks..I'll be okay."
Caressing her cheek, Snake lovingly kissed her forehead, "I'll see if we have any Gatorade in the fridge."
sigh* "Thanks. I'm sorry for killing the mood," she frowned, to which he shook his head:
"You have nothing to apologize for. Besides, I still got to indulge in you," he added with a cheeky wink as he eyed her exposed breasts and flicked out his forked tongue, bringing a blush to her cheeks as she readjusted her nursing bra. With another kiss to her forehead, Snake then slithered out of the bed and headed into the kitchen, while Lilith headed over to the bathroom.
Upon discovering that there was no Gatorade in the fridge, Snake spoke up, "Honey, I'm going up to the lair for a few minutes. Is there anything you need me to look for?"
"Could you see if there's any pineapple," she hollered from inside the bathroom.
"Alright, I'll see what I can find."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." With that, he slithered over to the lift and rode it up a level, to which he entered the lair and began his search for Gatorade and pineapples. Checking the fridge, a frown lined his face as it was void of any electrolyte drinks, to which he then checked the cupboard/pantry and found that it too was lacking. Also, there weren't any cans of pineapples to be found either. Checking the freezer, he grumbled as it too was devoid of the sweet fruit. As he was about to head back down to Lilith, the light flicked on to reveal Wolf in his lounging pants:
*yawn* "Snake? Is everything okay?"
sigh* "I'm sorry to wake ya, Wolf, but Lilith is having some braxton hicks contractions and I can't find any electrolyte drinks to give her. That, and she asked if I could find her some pineapple, but there isn't any in either kitchen."
"Say no more. I'll run you over to the store so you can pick some up."
"Really?"
"Sure thing, buddy. Just give me a minute to get ready," he smirked before momentarily heading back into his room.
Meanwhile, Snake coughed up his cellphone and called Lilith's number: "Hey, sweet peach. I couldn't find any Gatorade or pineapples in the lair, but Wolf offered to drive me over to the store so I can pick some up for you. Is there anything else you'd like?"
*:Oh, could you pick up some deviled ham and a pint of strawberry ice cream? And maybe some pickles and Ritz crackers?:*
He softly chuckled, "I think that can be arranged."
*:Thank you. Oh! One more thing: I think I'm almost out of Mother's Milk tea. Would you mind picking up a box? Please?:*
"Of course. I'll be back soon, but if you need anything, don't hesitate to call the guys. Alright?"
*:Okay. Thank you, Daddy.*
"Heh, you're welcome. I love you, sweet peach."
*:I love you too.:*
Upon ending the call, Snake glanced over to see Wolf approaching with a knowing smirk lining his face:
"So, I'm guessing Lilith gave you a list of stuff to pick up."
"Heh, yea, but it won't take me long to find everything she needs," he noted as they headed into the lift and rode it down to the garage where Wolf's car was parked.
"You okay?"
At his question, Snake gave a nod as they entered the car and drove off, "Yea, I'm fine. Just a little nervous. I mean, Lilith is about to have the baby and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly for her."
"Understandable. You're going through what every new parent experiences, but just know that I'm here for you."
"Thanks, Wolf."
"Sure thing. Now, let's get those groceries," he added with a smirk, causing Snake to roll his eyes in amusement.

Nearly thirty minutes after her phone call with Snake, Lilith heard the lift ascending, which meant he and Wolf were back from their grocery run. Of course, during his absence, she had busied herself with some light nesting and even packed her hospital bag.
Donning a pair of pink pajama shorts and an old Transformers t-shirt, Lilith stepped out of the bedroom and headed over to the kitchen/living room area.
"Hey, Lil. How're you feeling," Wolf asked as she sat down at the table, while Snake handed her an Orange flavored Gatorade and a bag of dried pineapple chunks.
"I'm alright. Just experiencing some braxton hicks."
"Ah, I'm sorry about that."
"It's fine. Sure, they're annoying, but it's nothing I can't handle. Although, drinking some electrolytes really does help make them a bit more tolerable."
"And the pineapple?"
"Oh, pineapples can actually help induce labor, so I'm hoping to speed up the process." Taking a hold of her lover's tail, she gave it a gentle squeeze as another contraction rolled through her lower back.
"Is there anything else I can get you, honey," Snake asked, to which she nodded:
"Can I have some of that Mother's Milk tea you bought?"
"Of course." He then kissed her cheek and set to work boiling some water for tea, while Wolf finished unloading the groceries and putting them away.

-5:30-
Stepping out of the bathroom, holding her swollen belly, Lilith shuffled over to the bedroom and gently shook her serpentine lover, "Hubert?"
"Hmm? Is everything alright," he tiredly asked, to which she bit her lower lip and gave his tail a soft squeeze:
"My water just broke and my contractions are getting a bit stronger."
Hearing this, he snapped fully awake, "What?! Are you alright?! Is the baby coming?! Do you need to go to the hospital?!"
Emitting a soft giggle, she shook her head, "Hubert, I'm fine. I don't think the baby is coming just yet, but I wanted you to know what's going on."
*sigh* "Okay, but please keep me updated on your contractions. I don't want you to suffer in silence."
Wrapping her arms around him, she nuzzled against his neck and smiled, "I will."
"Good. Now, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Could you grab me another Gatorade and maybe fix me a bowl of fruit?"
"I certainly can. You just make yourself comfortable and relax," he kissed her forehead and helped her into the bed before slithering out of the bedroom and heading over to the kitchen to retrieve her requested items.
