The McCord Children

Stevie: Month Five

I got a few stories in the works. I'm trying to finish this one, then post the others. Reviews are appreciated. I love writing Madam secretary Fanfiction. I hope you guys are enjoying my stories.

Elizabeth was ordering their favorite takeout. Chinese takeout was something Henry and her would do quite often. Since it was her most recent craving.

"I would like to order pork lo mein and mu shu pork." She placed a hand over her very rounded belly. She hung up the phone and was gonna wait for Henry to pick it up.

She was starting to have trouble getting up and reaching for things since she had a big belly to get around. She was now 21 weeks pregnant and she wanted to feel the baby kick or move.

She decided to do some laundry around the house. Folding the clothes of Henry. "I can't wait for you to move, so I don't feel that I'm just getting fat." Elizabeth smiled.

"Babe? Where are you? I got the takeout." Henry shouted. Elizabeth felt a little flutter in her lower abdomen.

"Henry!" Elizabeth exclaimed in happiness.

"What! Are you okay? Is the baby okay." Henry worriedly ran into their bedroom. She felt another little kick from the womb. Elizabeth placed her hand on the spot where the baby was kicking.

"You are finally doing it baby. You are a little late to the game." She smiled.

"Babe, what's going on." He looked at her curiously. Elizabeth grabbed his hand placed it to the spot where she felt it last. "What is go--." There was the small little kick. "Shes kicking." He smiled.

"She is responding to your voice, babe." Elizabeth smiled at Henry.

"Awwww. She is a daddy's girl already." Kissing the spot where he felt the kick.

"Now where is that Chinese, because baby is hungry." She got up to the kitchen.

...

Elizabeth sat at the edge of the examination table.

"I heard that you have felt the baby move." The doctor smiled.

"It was so exciting." Elizabeth smiled. "She loves when Henry talks to her. Henry has been reading her stories." Elizabeth smiled. She always enjoyed sharing Henry's softer side.

"Let's take a look at this energetic baby. Shall we?" As she placed the cool gel and wand on Elizabeth's lower part of her belly. The little image flicked on screen as they saw a little yawn come from the baby.

"Keeping her up with all those stories." The doctor smiled at Henry. Elizabeth would be so attached to the ultrasound every time they would go to the scan.

"Is she okay?" Elizabeth asked.

"She is fine. Strong and healthy." The doctor smiled. The doctor left and handed them the sonograms. Wiping up the goo. "You are on track for your November 10th due date." She smiled.

"I just want November to come." Elizabeth smiled. "The days fly by, but the months are like icebergs." Elizabeth stated.

"Me too." Henry agreed. "I just can't wait to meet her."

....

It was hot sunny day of June 31st. The forecast was 93 degrees. Elizabeth was in a tank top and shorts. The tank top was stretched around her stomach.

"It is so humid out." Elizabeth complained. Placing a hand over her belly that was on top of her husbands hand as the sat at the beach of North Carolina, to visit Elizabeth's parents. After all he finished class two days ago. Elizabeth's father was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

They were gonna join her brother and cousins on her parent's yacht for dinner. She was the 3rd oldest of the cousins and older than her brother, but she was the first out of all to add another generation to the family. All her 2 aunts, and 3 uncles on her fathers side with their respected spouses. Her Aunt and her husband on her moms side.

She had about 15 cousins. She got on the boat, "I hope the pregnancy won't be a problem." Elizabeth looked at Henry.

"I'll be by your side." Henry snaked his arm around her waist.

"Good." She kissed him.

"Lizzie!" Amy, her closest cousin in age ran to her. "I can't wait to meet her." She grinned.

"You know it is a girl?" Elizabeth questioned.

"The area of Topsail Beach knows, Lizzie, your mama has been spreading the word that she is gonna be a granny." Amy laughed.

"Oh Mother." Elizabeth smiled. Elizabeth looked at Henry. He nodded at her and rubbed her leg. "Amy, we want you to be our baby's godmother." Elizabeth smiled.

"What! Are you freaking kidding me. I would love to!" Amy hugged them. It was becoming late and they were some left. A lot of the teen cousins swam back to the shore. The younger ones were asleep on the lower deck. It was now just her parents, aunts, uncles, Amy, Henry, and Elizabeth were left. Everyone was drinking champagne. Elizabeth was drinking a Pepsi and watching the two youngest who were left on the boat. Seven year old Ezra and three year old Alice, who were the youngest of her cousins. She was the 3rd oldest cousins at twenty-five years old and the youngest, Alice.

Alice toddled towards her cousin, "Lizzie?" She went to her cousin and crawled onto her lap. She snuggled into Elizabeth's chest, "You have baby in tummy?" The girl poked her cousin's belly.

"Yes, I do." Elizabeth kissed the girls forehead. "You will be able to play with her." She smiled. "You wanna feel her kick?"

"Can I?" The girl clapped her hands.

"Sure Alice." Placing a tiny hand on where the recent movement has been.

"That is so weird." Alice scrunched up her nose.

"You did that while you were inside your mama's belly." Elizabeth tickled Alice lightly.

"Really?" Alice yawned.

"Yep, you did." Elizabeth smiled. "What you doing up so late by the way missy."

"I don't like boats. My stomach no feel good." Alice cried.

"How 'bout you sleep with me." Elizabeth pulled the cover over the girl. She let Alice curl into her and saw the eyes flutter shut. Elizabeth looked at the so peaceful child and her herself drifted off. Elizabeth didn't even realize how tired herself was.

...Henry...

Henry and Elizabeth's aunt Suzanne walked down to look for Elizabeth, Ezra, and Alice since they were the last of the boat that docked. As the reached where the cots were, they saw Ezra and Alice snuggled with Elizabeth. Suzanne and himself smiled at each other at the beautiful scene. Henry decided to shake Elizabeth's arm and wake her. Her eyes snapped open to see her husband look at her. She put a groggy smile and tried to move without waking the little ones. Elizabeth pulled little Alice into her arms. Suzanne tried getting Ezra out, "Let me get him." Henry picked up the boy.

"Thank you Henry." Taking Alice from Elizabeth's arms.

"I can't for that baby to come and see you with sleepless nights. Carrying and comforting the child to get them back to sleep." Suzanne chuckled.

Henry laid Ezra down in the kids room. Henry joined Elizabeth wrapping his arms around her and walking to their room.
