Tattoos On Flower Petals (PruCan Mpreg)

Matthew had been trying to get more work in as time progressed. Each day though he seemed to be more and more tired though. He spent most of his time sitting behind the counter since his feet and his back were starting to really be a bother, especially now at thirty weeks. Alfred on one hand was always around his brother to make sure he was ok, and was always wanting to feel Matthew's belly, which got annoying pretty fast. He had told his brother multiple times now that if he kept it up, he would kick him in the nuts. Alfred took that as less of a threat and more of a joke. And since Matthew couldn't do it, Gilbert kicked Alfred in the nuts.
Matthew was very ready to be done working when he got off, and Gilbert came to get him from work and make sure he could get up the stairs alright. Matthew was having a little trouble with that lately. So Gilbert would make sure to leave work the same time Matthew closed his shop to be extra sure he was ok.
Matthew was quick to sit down in his chair, putting his feet up and doing his best to get in a comfortable spot.
"God, he's in the worst spot.." Matthew complained, putting his hand on the side of his swollen belly. "I just have to remember.. just a few more weeks.. it's only supposed to be like, twelve more weeks.."
Gilbert listened and frowned. He hated seeing Matthew upset like that, but there wasn't really anything he could do about it. That's when an idea hit him. "Hey! Here's. Fun idea!" Gilbert left the kitchen and leaned over the top of Matthew's chair, giving him a kiss. "We should just rest up for a bit, you need to relax. Your uncle has a farm, right? Why don't we ask if we can go visit him for a bit, it'd be good for you!"
Matthew just stared up at his boyfriend. He shook his head. "But we need the money.."
"Mattie, we're both the bosses of our shops. We'll get money no matter what. I'm sure your brother and Tolys can handle the flower shop, and I have some pretty talented artists to handle stuff! Come on. At least ask your uncle?"

Matthew groaned but nodded, telling Gilbert his phone was in his coat pocket somewhere. Gilbert went and found it, giving it to the blonde before going off to start making dinner. Matthew found his uncle's number in his contacts, and then called. It was a few rings in when Dylan picked up, and Matthew explained things to him. He made sure Dylan knew this was Gilbert's idea and he really didn't want to impose, just didn't want Gilbert to keep bothering him. In the end, it was a definite yes, since Dylan wanted any excuse he could get to see his nephew and spend time with him. It was decided that Matthew and Gilbert would come up in a few days and stay as long as they wanted, there was a spare room and the place was big enough that the two wouldn't cause any disturbance.
After hanging up, Gilbert was informed of the deal made. He was pretty excited, and said he would call all of his workers tomorrow to make sure everyone was on par with their shifts. That meant Matthew would have to tell Alfred and Tolys tomorrow as well.

The couple had been driving for hours at this point. It seemed like they would never get there, so when they finally did, both of them were more than happy to be out of the car and on their feet again. Even if Matthew knew he wouldn't be happy for long with that. Dylan greeted them at the door, and helped with Matthew and Gilbert's bags.
Dylan had made sure there were fresh sheets on the bed, the softest ones he had, and extra pillows and blankets off to the side. He gave the two a quick tour, explained the only rules were don't break anything and don't make a mess, and then let them be to do what they wanted while he went to do some work outside.

Gilbert looked around and spotted a couple of chairs out on the porch, offering to sit outside with Matthew and enjoy the warmth. Matthew said that sounded good and followed outside, sitting down in one of the porch chairs while Gilbert sat in the other. Matthew was already feeling a lot more relaxed, shutting his eyes and putting his hand over the top of his bump. Gilbert watched with a gentle smile. He was really glad to see Matthew having a nice time outside, the sun high in the sky, animals out in the distance. He reached over and set his own hand on Matthew's belly, rubbing it gently and making the blonde smile a bit more and rub his side.

"He makes things really hard the way he's always positioned.." Matthew said, looking over at Gilbert and chuckling. "I think he'll really take after you.."
Gilbert huffed, knowing it was a joke he was just going to play along. "Oh come on, I'm sure he'll be the easiest baby! He's my little guy, and I'll love him no matter who he is!"
Matthew smiled and nodded, putting his hand over Gilbert's and pushed up his glasses with his other hand. "I think he's asleep right now, this is so nice.." Matthew picked up Gilbert's hand and gave it a small kiss on the knuckles. "I wish he wouldn't be so active though. As much as I love him, he doesn't give me much time to relax with how much he moves.."

Gilbert got up and gave Matthew a kiss, chuckling and saying he was going to go make sure their stuff was unpacked and ready for them when they needed it. Matthew told him that was fine and checked his phone, texting his brother. He recalled that Alfred had some sort of fate that night and texted him a reminder not to stand anyone up this time. Alfred said he wouldn't and told Matthew to have a good day and not to overwork himself, drink water, all the usual.

When Gilbert returned he helped Matthew up and walked him inside since It was getting a little chilly out, and it was getting to be around dinner time. Dylan was back in soon and after a quick shower, and then started to make some dinner. Matthew ate as much as he could, which unfortunately wasn't much, before getting full.
"He's pretty much right on my stomach right now, it's sort of hard to get anything down." Matthew told Gilbert, rubbing the side of his belly. Dylan said he understood but told Matthew to try and eat a bit more later too.

After a bit more socializing Matthew decided it was bedtime. He said Goodnight and obviously Gilbert went with, making sure Matthew got up the stairs and into their room they were staying in. Matthew changed and got into bed, getting as comfortable as he could. He wanted to sleep on his side, so he put a pillow under his bump, rubbing it gently and getting a few kicks in return.
"Oh, yeah I feel you buddy... you're gonna make sleeping very hard tonight aren't you?" Matthew muttered, already half asleep. Gilbert smiled and got undressed so that he could get into bed too.
"He's getting really big, he's gonna be out here with us real soon, huh?" Gilbert said as he reached over, putting his hand on Matthew's belly and smiling when he felt a rather big kick.
"That was a big one, Geez." Matthew joked and pushed Gilbert's hand away. "Now let me try to sleep.." Gilbert laughed a bit and gave Matthew a kiss before rolling over to get some sleep himself too.

Matthew didn't fall asleep immediately, he stayed up a little bit, making sure the baby was asleep before finally attempting to get to bed and rest up. He would really need it for the big day that was coming up in a few weeks. Only eleven more weeks, Matthew was having a hard time believing that. It had gone by too fast and yet had gone by too slow. He wanted to have this baby more than anything! But he also didn't think he was ready to be a parent. For now, he would sleep on it.
