Six Months
I'm now six months pregnant and tomorrow is the dreaded baby shower. It was Kari's idea; she's hosting it at my place just because it's bigger. She even had the nerve to invite every person from the office. I knew they didn't like me, but it's worse when they'll be buying me things for my children. What scares me the most is that I'll have my three angels at the party… I couldn't not invite them; they've done so much for me. I'm not really worried about Branden or Scott… Raziel on the other hand could be a problem.
Raziel is still a little clueless on how to act around us humans; Branden and Scott have had more practice. They've been living on Earth much longer then Raziel.
Branden and Scott have been my pillar of strength these past few months. Helping me deal with my changes and trying to help Raziel fit in better. Branden's been spending a lot of time with him, trying to teach him how to treat me, and how to act around others. Scott on the other hand as been spending way too much time with me. The reason I say that is because I think I'm falling in love with him. I even think that the feelings maybe mutual. What would Raziel do if he were to find out that I have feelings for Scott? Would he oppose or will he keep his end of the bargain and leave us be to love each other freely. I mean… I like Raziel a lot but I don't think I could ever fully love him because of how he got me pregnant. Well onto happier topics… the baby shower preparations.
Kari and I went out to the store to pick up the goods; lots of finger foods, baby shower games, punch, paper goods, and prizes for the game winners. I was beat; we were out for over five hours and my poor feet were all swollen. Did I forget to mention the fact that I had to go to the bathroom every hour? I'm sorry but it was hell for me and Kari? Well she was just on cloud nine. If I didn't know any better I would think that she was the one having twins. Finally after we got everything Kari drove me home with a truckload of crap for the shower.
When we pulled up to my house Branden and Scott were out side looking worried. As soon as I stepped out of the truck and closed the door both men came running over looking relieved and mad at the same time.
"Pris where the hell have you been? Why didn't you have your phone with you?" Scott yelled out first.
"We were worried sick, Raziel is out popping around the city looking for you!" Branden remarked.
"What the hell is going on with you two!?" I yelled out in frustration and confusion.
Luckily Kari jumped in and pulled both boys aside while I collected myself and put my hormones in check.
"What is going on with you two huh? Yelling at Pris like that, tomorrow is the shower. Last week I told all three of you that I would be taking her out for the party stuff. Also I was the one that told her to leave the phone, you three have her on a short enough leash, constantly calling her every hour. Even at work, if it's not one it's the other. She needs a break from you men, always hounding her if she feels fine or if she needs anything. Well what she needs is a break from you three." Kari scolded them good. Then instructed them to unload the truck while I go and put my feet up.
I went straight to my room, took a Tylenol, and then laid down with the bed curtains drawn. I was dead dog-tired. I was curled up on my side with a pillow between my knees. My belly was huge, I wasn't able to lay on my back any more. With the twins I looked more like I was 8 months pregnant opposed to the six that I was. I was starting to drift off when I heard yelling from down stairs. It was Kari and Raziel, apparently he wasn't found of the idea of me out with out my little cell phone a.k.a. leash and collar. Kari didn't care too much for Raziel in the beginning, but like me he kinda grows on you. Like me she still harbors ill will for how he got me knocked up.
I rolled over and stuck my hand out of my bed curtains to turn on and up the radio. I didn't feel so well and I really wasn't in the mood to hear them arguing. I closed my eyes and tried to just focus on my breathing. Getting upset could cause me to go into early labor or at least that's what my O. B. said. I was starting to drift off when I felt my bed move and a hand start to rub my belly. It felt kind of good, relaxing in a way. I didn't know who it was nor did I care at the moment. I started to calm down, then I felt the person spoon up beside me. As he leaned over to whisper in my ear a piece of midnight black hair fell into my face… it was Scott.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you. I made you upset; that's the last thing I ever want to do. I just worry about you that's all. Everything is fine down stairs, they are setting up the decorations. I told them that I would come up and keep you company till you felt good enough to come down and eat dinner." He said with a whisper and then nuzzled my ear.
"You're such a tease…" s**t! I can't believe I said that to him. Bad hormones… damn it!
"Uh… a tease huh? Are you referring to the ear nuzzling?" He said quite amused.
"I'm referring to everything… the nuzzling, the lingering looks and touches, the seductive smiles, and the damn whispering in my ear!" ******** it… I’m tired of mind games I wanna know how he feels for me.
I felt him get up and move away from me. I didn't want to look at him because I was starting to cry. I was in love with the man, and maybe he didn't know what he was doing but I was going to end it now. I wanted him to know that what he did was making me a wreck. Yes I was horny and lonely, most of it is his fault, and the rest was hormones.
He hadn't moved in a few minuets, so I managed to get myself up in a sitting position, and then I turned so I was looking at him. I'm guessing he was thinking, he was just staring at my comforter. I let out a sigh, "Scott…" He suddenly turned so we were staring into each other's eyes. His huge beautiful purple eyes framed by his black hair. He was so beautiful, I'm surprised the other angels let him leave. I would think that heaven would be less welcoming without his warm smile and innocent eyes.
The reached for me and traced the line of my jaw; gently brushing my lower lip with his thumb. He then wiped the tears from my redden cheeks, and cupped my face with both of his soft, warm hands. He pulled me in for a gentle kiss. It felt like nothing I've ever experienced before. His full lips were warm and inviting. So soft and gentle. I didn't want to break away. I did anyway, that's when he moved closer and started to kiss my neck and shoulders. I melted as he touched me in that seductive way. Ever muscle yearned for him. I moved my hands to his shirt and slid them between the buttons. He felt like a statue covered in silk. Ever muscled was well defined like carved marble yet more welcoming much like a warm familiar blanket. I forced the button to open on his shirt while I explored his abs and pecks.
"Forgive me… I love you Pris, I've wanted to be with you since the day I saw you getting coffee. I've never forgotten how you looked at me that day. I've been racked with jealously and fear since the day Raziel moved in with you. Fear that I would never get to confess how I feel for you." He whispered to me as he slipped my shirt off.
"I love you to…" I whispered out as he covered my mouth with his.
One hour… one hour of not sex but of love making. It was amazing; no words could describe it. Pure bliss is all I can think of to say. We laid in each other's arms in silence; amazed at what just happened. At that moment I didn't care about anything other then Scott. That was ruined by a knock at the door.
"Pris? Are you awake?" Kari called out softly
"Yeah…"
"Dinners ready, I made lasagna, your favorite!"
"Ok… just give me a few minuets, then I'll be down."
"Okies! Don't take too long, Branden is ogling the garlic bread." She said then left down the stairs.
"Would it be wrong of me for wanting to stay here forever?" I asked while I put my head on his chest.
"The feelings mutual, but you need to eat and regain your strength for tomorrow." He said while he wrapped his strong arms around me.
I let out a sigh, then scooted off the bed and got dressed. I went into the bathroom to fix my hair as Scott finished getting dressed. He took my arm and helped me down the stairs. I was weaker then I thought. When we got to the dinning room every looked shocked to see Scott.
"I was wondering what happened to you." Kari said.
"Yeah that's right you went up stairs to help calm her down." Raziel replied.
"Wow, sorry Pris, we didn't mean to upset you that much. He's been up there for what; like an hour? Truly we're sorry, we'll try and be more thoughtful next time." Branden said while pulling a chair out for me.
Yup… Scott and I needed to have a talk on how we were going to go about this. For now I'll keep my mouth shut and enjoy Kari's cooking. Oh hell… is this a Stouffers lasagna? And I thought she made it from scratch… I was really hoping for home made lasagna. At least the garlic bread looks home made.
