I'll take care of you

Baby excersize

(Mer POV)
"Ouch!" I say as my oversized stomach tips me over the bed and onto the floor, "Mer!" Derek looked over the side of the bed to see me laying on the floor with my eye squinted. He slides over the edge of the bed and brings me to his full attention, "Mer, are you ok?" He asks picking me up off the floor and setting me on the bed. "Ya fine." I reply rubbing the baby bump, it's not easy being 8 months pregnant. It was at 3-4 months but other than that I waddle, run my back, and be lazy. "How's the baby?" He places his hand on my stomach and rubs circles waiting for it to kick. "Ouh, there's the kick!" He looks over at me with a big smile, but my face doesn't say the same. "Ouch, it just kicked my rib cage!" I moan in pain as Derek gets up and goes to the washroom to get me a glass of water. "Here, drink" he holds the cup up to my hand and I take it. "Ugh thank you" I say as I set the empty cup on the night table next to the baby scans. "Only 1 more month, and then we get to meet our little bean." He places his hands on my stomach again while I laugh. "Your calling it bean?" I giggle as he starts to talk to it, "yes, yes I am" I get up from the bed and waddle to the washroom to satisfy my ten minute lasting bladder. "Wanna go on a walk today?" He asks as I sit on the bed, I side eye him with a scowl letting him know that I do not want to walk. "No." I reply simply. "Oh come on, it will be good for the baby" he sits down next to me and rubs my back, "nooooo" I groan and splat myself on the bed closing my eyes. I sit there for a minute trying to sleep when somebody pulls me up. "Hey!" Derek pulls me to the end of the bed and gives me leggings and a shirt to put on. "Come on, we're going hiking" he gets himself dressed and then helps me step into my leggings, "I'm fat" I sat to myself while looking in the mirror. "Your beautiful" he try's to convince me while giving me a kiss on the cheek. "I'm fat" I say again, still looking in the mirror. "I disagree" we both walk out of the bedroom. He walks down the stairs while I sit at the top looking at him, "what?" He asks realizing that I haven't moved. " I am 8 months pregnant, fat, and I don't have balance. I need help!" He smiles and makes his way back up the stairs to grab my hand. We get our shoes on and walk out the door to the car.

(Derek POV)
I help mer get in the car before I get in myself and start driving to some near by trails. "It winter Derek, I don't want to do this" she complains while looking out the window. "It's beautiful outside, plus the baby will love it" I try to explain while placing a hand over hers. "The baby would love some Chinese" she smiles as she grips my hand, "ok, I promise some Chinese after" she looks over at me with a big smile and leans over to kiss me. "Yay!" We spend the rest of the car ride talking about baby's and parent hood crap. "Where are we going?" We had been driving for at least an hour, "the great pine trails" I reply knowing she would hate me for it. "Derek! Those are long trails. My feet are gonna hurt so bad" I actually felt bad for her, I mean she was carrying a baby and had gained probably 40 pounds. But she did look beautiful doing it. "Whenever you need to stop we will turn around" I told her trying to comfort her a bit. "Fine" she was stubborn and mad but she knew I loved her.
When we got to the trails I helped her out and we began walking, "I can't argue with you it is beautiful outside" she says as we walk down the snowy trails. "It is but you be carful, I don't need you slipping on ice." I was holding her hand the whole time helping her balance. She had her other hand in her stomach talking to the baby every once in a while. "Oh ouch!" We suddenly stop and she takes a breath. "You ok?" I stop with her. "Ya um Braxton Hicks." I thought about turning around, but she said she's fine so we kept going as I kept an eye on her. A few minutes later she gets the same pain and stops again. "Mm" she groans as she grips my coat with her strong fists. "Ok I think we're going to turn around" I hold onto her as she stands up and we start walking back. "Derek I'm fine if you want to keep going" she insisted on keep walking but I wasn't about to let her go into labour in the middle of a forest. "No, your showing signs of labour and frankly I don't want our baby to be born in the freezing cold." I was holding onto her back and holding her hand. About 20 minutes later we reach the car and she gets in. I get in the car and I hear a loud groan escape her mouth as she relaxes in relief. "Ok, next stop Chinese food" I tell her as smile approaches her face. "Oh I couldn't ask for a better husband" she hold my hand as we turn out of the trails.
25 minutes later I brought her to the best Chinese restaurant that I could think of. "What do want?" I ask reaching for my wallet. "Chicken balls, rice, and egg rolls... please" she gives me her best puppy dog eyes and I give her a kiss before going in side.

"Hi what can I get you?" A man behind the table asks me. "Uh hi, could I get chicken balls, rice, and egg rolls please" the man looks at me with a surprise look considering I'm alone. "That's a big meal" he says still writing down the order, "party?" He asks. "No, pregnant wife" I laugh as I point to her sitting in the car biting her nails. "Oh that will do it" we both laugh as he hands me my order. And I walk back to the car. "Hey" I say as I hand her the paper bag. "Oh smells delicious!" She looks into the bag and pulls out the rice. "Thank you honey!" She says giving me a kiss before I pull out of the parking lot. We head back home and I help her out of the car before we sit in the living room and eat our lunch. "Best husband and daddy ever!" I look over at her and she looks like she's enjoying every bit of her lunch.

(Mer POV)
The lunch was so good but the chicken balls needed something else added to them. I thought for a minute and then got up and waddled to the kitchen. "What are you getting?" I hear Derek say through the other room. "Peanut butter" I yell as I search through the cupboards. I walk back to the living room with my peanut butter and a knife. I sit down next to Derek and opened the jar and stuck my knife in it. I saw Derek look over at me in disgust and curiosity's the same time as I lathered the butter on my chicken ball. "What are you doing?" He laughed as I took a bite of the chicken. " pregnancy cravings." I say as I take another bite and roll my eyes to the back of my head, "ugh it's really good" I say to him as I grab another chicken ball. "Your crazy" he kissed  my cheek and then started to clean up the living room. After I helped him clean we snuggled on the couch watching a movie. "Today was fun" I said as he placed his hand on my stomach. "Ya" he replied as he closed his eyes. I fell asleep not long after.
