"Oh look who finally decided to make an appearance this morning,"Bowie teases from his spot at the kitchen table, "Darcy you look like a joy!"
All of the kids are gathered around and eating an array of cereals. Lennon and Auggie look up with spoons still in their mouths to look at their heavily pregnant sister making her way past the stove where their dad is and waddling over to the kitchen table. Her hair is tangled and lying crazily on top of her head, her eyes have major bags under them telling the tales of sleepless nights because of her heavily pregnant body.
Darcy quickly flips off Bowie, Bowie returning the gesture with a sly smile before Harry can turn around and catch them.
"Hi darling,"Harry turns around from facing the stove to kiss his eldest daughter's forehead.
"Hi daddy,"Darcy replies, pushing her fists harder into her back to try and relieve some of the tension in her muscles.
"You okay?"Harry asks her questioningly raising an eyebrow, his eyes darting to Darcy's fists on her lower back.
"Yeah, my back has just been really achy. All over really,"Darcy sighs, blowing up some of the hair out of her face. She's downplaying her pain a bit, actually. She woke up at 7 am with a lot of pain in her back and then started experiencing consistent contractions soon afterward.
"More than usual?"Harry's ears perk up. He doesn't want to scare Darcy, but he can't deny that this sounds very familiar to how Camryn's labors would always start.
"A bit,"Darcy nods, rubbing a soothing hand over her large stomach, "I'm okay, though. Don't worry."
Harry nods his head, not wanting to persist and make Darcy more anxious. He knows she knows her body well and knows it's cues. He returns his attention to his oatmeal concoction on the stove as Darcy sits down at the kitchen table.
"Hi munchy,"Darcy greets her baby sister with a hand rested lazily on top of her stomach under her breasts. Bindi puts her hand on the side of Darcy's stomach, "is she kicking?" Darcy laughs a bit, pressing tenderly on her aching stomach, "a bit." Darcy pokes her stomach right where Bindi's tiny palm is placed causing the baby to kick and Bindi's eyes to light up.
Bindi returns to her seat as Darcy leans over to grab a box of the sugary cereal and starts pouring it in her bowl. "D, do you wanna go on a walk with me?"Bindi asks, practically bouncing out of her seat, "none of them," she motions her hand to all of her brothers at the table, "will go with me and I wanna go up to the park and swing on the swings."
"Maybe, babe,"Darcy says through a mouthful of Captain Crunch, "I'll see how I'm feeling. I'm a bit achy today."
"Okay,"Bindi frowns a bit and goes back to eating her cereal.
"I'm sure I can take you, babe,"Harry offers bringing his bowl of oatmeal over to the table and sitting down next to Calum across from Darcy.
Harry carefully watches Darcy out of the corner of his eye throughout the entire breakfast. He catches the way she has to stop shoveling food into her mouth to breathe at times and the long slow rubs she gives her stomach as her face screws up in a grimace.
She may not want to admit it, but Harry knows that she knows.Today is the day.
10:00 AM- 3 Hours in
"Is Darcy still asleep?"Harry asks Lennon as him and Bindi walk through the front door, coming home from their adventure at the park.
