and I'm in love with you (a sequel to the little things)

four

I'm now 17 weeks pregnant, and in 1 week we get to find out the gender of our baby. I think it's a boy, but Hayes thinks it's a girl. We don't care either way, but it's fun to guess. Hayes is going to be home any minute from work, and I'm just making us dinner. I'm making Hayes and i's favorite dinner- chicken Alfredo.
As I was finishing up, Hayes came in. He walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around me, and he rested his head on my shoulder. "hey baby" he said kissing my cheek. "hey, I missed you" I said and turned my head to meet his lips. "how are you feeling?" "My stomach is very tight and my back hurts, but other than that, good." I said smiling. "Baby, I'm sorry" he said. "it's worth it!" "damn right it is! Now follow me." he said as he pulled me to the living room. He helped me sit down, and he pulled the lever so that the seat reclined, and then he turned on the tv. "why are you so good to me?" I asked. "because, I love you, and our baby, and because I've got to take care of you two." he said and he kissed my belly. He went back into the kitchen and finished dinner. "I'll make sure to give you a big plate of Alfredo!" he said laughing emphasizing big. "hey I'm eating for two!" I defended "yeah, yeah" he said laughing.
