Christmas Evie - Andy Barber x Reader

Warning: Swearing, extremely brief mention of childbirth, fluff

Christmas was a special time of year for both you and Andy. You'd met at your office's Christmas party, got married a week before Christmas a couple years later. Last year you'd decided to start a family and this year your little one was due on the 27th.

"How you feeling honey?" Andy asks leaning over the back of the couch to kiss the top of your head.

"Like a beached whale that's about to explode" you grumble running your hands over your very large bump.

Andy chuckle pressing another kiss to the top of your head as his hands rest on your shoulders rubbing them.

"I'm sorry honey" he apologises making you scoff.

"No you're not, you did this to me" you huff looking over your shoulder at him.

"You're right I'm not" he chuckles kissing your temple.

"But look to make you feel better I picked something up while I was out" he says placing a bag in your lap.

You raise a brow at him but open up the bag, welling up when you saw the new set of Christmas pjs.

"Oh Andy" you sigh running your hands over the soft material.

"You like it?" He asks smiling at you,

"I love it, thank you" you smile turning your head so you could kiss him.

"Did you get me my sub?" You ask suddenly remembering the food he promised to get you.

"Yes of course" Andy chuckles passing you the sandwich.

"I love you even more" you mutter as you unwrap your sub and tuck in.

"I love you too, I'm gonna go prep all the food for tomorrow and then we can just chill out and watch a Christmas movie" Andy chuckles kissing the top of your head once more before heading towards the kitchen.

A little while later you'd eaten your sub and changed into the new set of Pjs Andy had brought you. Walking back down the stairs you shuffled into the kitchen where Andy was busy chopping veg for tomorrow. Your presence made know by the large sigh you let out as you rubbed your stomach. Andy glances up raising a brow at you noticing how uncomfortable you look.

"Hey you alright?" He asks as you grab a glass of water.

"Yeah just really uncomfortable" you sigh taking a couple sips of water.

"Trapped gas uncomfortable or something's happening uncomfortable?" He questions putting the knife down as he turns to face you.

"Just trapped gas I think, kinda wish something was happening though" you grumble with a pout.

"I know I can't wait to meet out little one either, but it's only another 3 days until the 27th not including today, and tomorrow doesn't really count since it's Christmas day, and the 26th is always a leftover filled blur so it's not long at all" Andy reasons walking over to you running his hands over your bump before resting them on your hips.

"That's a terrible argument, how are you even a lawyer" you grumble making him laugh.

"The jury is usually easier to convince" he says making you gasp.

"Are you calling me stubborn?!" You gasp holding back the smirk.

"Yes, but I love that about you" Andy smirks.

A smile grows on your face as you look back up at him "good save" you concede.

Andy smiles back at you before kissing your forehead "go rest up, have a nap or something, by the time you wake up I'll be finished and we can snuggle up and watch a movie"

"Okay, but wake me as soon as you're done" you make him promise.

"Sure now go get some rest" Andy smiles knowing full well that he wasn't gonna wake you up.

You debated whether to go upstairs to bed but decided that it was far too much effort. Choosing to nap on the couch instead, falling asleep amazingly quickly considering how uncomfortable you were.

You weren't sure how long you'd been asleep for but when you did wake up Andy was sat next to you on the couch. Dressed in his own Christmas pjs hand resting on your leg as he watched the TV on low volume.

"You said you'd wake me" you remind him as you pushed yourself up.

"I know but you needed the rest and you looked comfortable so I couldn't disturb you, how you feeling" he asks holding his arm out so you could snuggle up against him.

"Better" you say even though it wasn't strictly true, but you didn't want to worry Andy.

"Good, so Home Alone?" Andy suggest grabbing the TV remote.

"Of course" you smile resting your head on his shoulder as he started the movie.

As the movie played you tried to focus on watching it and enjoying Christmas Eve with Andy but you were just getting more and more uncomfortable. The discomfort you were feeling turning more into cramping sensations that only got worse. Your doctor had told you about Braxton hicks and to drink water to get them to stop so when that didn't work you finally spoke up.

"Andy" you whimper as another wave of pain hit you.

"Honey? What's wrong?" He asks instantly pausing the movie.

"I think I'm having contractions" you say breathing through the pain.

"Shit! Are you sure?" He asks sitting up suddenly.

"Yeah I've been feeling them for a while now but thought they were just Braxton hicks" you explain relieved when the current one passed.

"Honey you should have told me" Andy sighs grabbing his phone and dialling the doctor.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't sure that's what it was" you sigh wincing as another contraction hit.

"Its okay, don't worry" Andy reassures you kissing the top of your head.

"Okay the doctor says to head straight in since they're pretty frequent so come on" Andy says once he got off the phone.

"Okay" you breath out as he stands up and helps you to stand, wincing slightly when you grip his hands tightly.

He helps you over to the door, putting your coat on for you and finding some trainers you could just slip on. He then grabs the hospital bag by the door and helps you out to the car.

It was only a couple hours later that your little bundle of joy arrived. You watch exhausted as Andy gently rocked the little girl with tears in his eyes. When he looked back at you the tears started falling as he smiled at you proudly.

"Thank you" he repeatedly whispered as he kissed your forehead.

"I love you so much" you smile tilting your head up to press your lips to his.

"I love you too" he smiles as he moves to perch on the edge of the bed passing you the infant.

"I know we had a name already for if it was a girl" you start as you gently run your finger over the baby's cheek.

"What are you thinking?" Andy asks looking down at you.

"What about Evie? Since she was born on Christmas Eve?" You suggest watching as a smile grows on his face.

"Evie, it's perfect" he smiles looking back at the little girl.

"Welcome to the world Evie" he whispers before gently kissing the top of her head closely followed by kissing you deeply.
