When Eric was eight months along, he had the toughest time with his health and the baby's health due to throwing up a lot and feeling weak from not eating much. He sees the doctor and gets medicine along with having the baby checked over. He looks at Paul in the car when they head home and sighs "I'm sorry I couldn't eat and take care of our son" he feels like he's been a bad dad already

Paul looks over and rubs his belly "it's not your fault, you tried and tried. I'm just glad he's okay and that you got the medicine to stop the throwing up. Hopefully we can make it to full term but the doctor did warn us that he's getting ready soon to be born. My worry is that we have to go on tour for two weeks and I don't want you to go in labor during the time until we are home. I hope he holds off until after our last tour before he's here."

Eric worries and sighs deeply "I just want him to stay in me until then. Hopefully he can handle me playing the drums and moving around. Ugh we still have to talk to the fans on the stage for each concert to let them know on what is going on since we aren't touring as much when he's born"

After a few days, they go on tour again and Eric worries about the baby coming early. He enjoys the concerts and the fans cheering. He has fun with all of the guys while on tour and sleeps a lot of the time when they weren't doing anything because he felt more and more tired than usual.

Paul watches over Eric while on stage along with watching him at other times soon not liking how exhausted his Fox got which is unusual for him to be like. He enjoyed every moment they had and he would spend time cuddled up to his belly to talk to his son. He looks at his husband one day while in the hotel room "hey we should name him"

Eric looks up and feels exhausted "mmm we should. What were you thinking?"

He thinks "Oooh what about Elijah?" He looks at him and gets excited

Eric likes the name and nods " it's perfect for him. Now if he would come now" he rubs his belly gently and lays down "I'm ready to pop him out but it's not for another month possibly. Can't wait to give birth and have a water birth with you by my side"

They get home after the tour and Paul unpacks soon telling his husband to not worry about help him. He looks up and smiles happily

Eric relaxes on the couch and watches their son move "already active huh?" He laughs and relaxes "he's gonna keep us active and awake a lot"

He looks up and smiles happily "yes he will. He's gonna be energetic like you honey" he pushes his hair back and unpacks more

Soon Paul gets dinner going and walks upstairs with tea for his fox "hey honey, I made you tea. Dinner is cooking"

Eric sits up slowly and smiles "thanks honey. I appreciate it a lot" he rubs his belly more

He brings the tea over and gives him it "here sweetie, I'll be downstairs if you need anything" he kisses him and rubs his belly gently

Eric sips his tea and enjoys it "thanks honey. I'm sure I'll be okay" he grabs papers and starts to write his own music that he wanted to produce

He goes downstairs and cooks for a while. He thinks about their son and what he would look like. The nursery was ready and was just waiting for a baby along with their room having a crib in it for their son too. All of his friends have been a real help with everything and he was mentally preparing himself to be a dad very soon. He soon checks over the hospital bags to make everything was ready  and looks at the cute baby clothes. He knew they were a big size for a newborn but they were told that Elijah was gonna be a nine or ten pound baby when he's born. He packed a smaller onesie to the case if their son was smaller. He listens to the band's new music and looks over soon seeing his Fox laughing "oh hey you! What are you doing out of bed?"

Eric shrugs and rubs his big baby bump "couldn't get my mind off of how we are gonna be parents soon. I'm so ready and excited to give birth soon to him. Hopefully he makes it to his due date which will be good for him. I'll be tired and cranky but it's worth it" he walks over to his StarMan and kisses him deeply "love you so much honey"

Paul nods and smiles happily "I love you too honey and hopefully he will stay in you for a while until he's born. He's already so big and active" he kisses him back and enjoys every moment with his husband

They both eat dinner soon and talk about the songs Eric is writing now. After dinner, Paul watches Eric play the piano and sings his songs to him

Paul feels impressed with how catchy his husband's music was "wow this is beautiful honey. We should gets this recorded and get an record deal" he kisses Eric and smiles

Eric feels excited "really? What about the baby for when he is born?"He kisses him back

He thinks "We have plenty of family and friends to watch him if any of us can't"

They both end up practicing more of Eric's new music and Paul helps him decide on some sounds that could help
