If Kisses Should Win

Part twenty-three

I hate this! My back hurts, my feet hurt, my legs hurt my arms hurt, everything hurts! This baby pushes on my bladder all day long making me pee every 10 minutes. Then has the audacity to grow bigger than what my body can handle.
I'm little! Why can't my baby be little?! I have the same center of gravity as a Jersey cow! I constantly bump into things. I struggled to get off the couch and Elliot literally has to pull me up and out of bed. And I'm only 7 months! What will happen when I get to 8 and 9?! I might as well just lay in bed all day. I probably won't be able to move!
Elliot had to go to work today so here I am waddleing to the store. It's his birthday and I feel horrible that I didn't think of getting him anything sooner. I didn't even know when his birthday was until I stalked his Instagram.
I decided to get him some of his favorite snacks and drinks and order something online when I get back and tell him his other present would be here soon.
I decided to walk because it is getting nicer out but my feet are killing me. I was basically dragging myself into the elevator leaning against the wall catching my breath.
I slowly walked to the apartment door hearing voices inside. Elliot and who else? I started to unlock the door but Elliot opened it and slid out shutting it behind him.
"What did you do?"
He looked guilty about something.
"Why did you assume I did something?"
He tried to smile and placed a kiss on my forehead.
"Because you are you. Now what did you do?"
Elliot sighed.
"My brothers are here."
"Your brothers?"
"Yeah and...."
"They don't know about me."
Elliot nodded taking my hands in his.
"Are they here for your birthday?"
He nodded again and hung his head.
"We can leave. I'll tell them I had something urgent to take care of."
"No. I want to meet them."
"Oh? Really?"
"Obviously! They are your family and they should know about their nephew."
Elliot smiled a little and nodded his head.
"Ok then...let's head back in."
Elliot unlocked the the door and opened it for me. I walked slipping out of my shoes. I really just want to sit down.
There were two men sitting at the kitchen island talking to each other. They all looked so similar. It's funny. I was always told that I don't resemble my siblings at all but theses three could be triplets.
The one started to talk to Elliot not turning around.
"You back? Why did you rush out like that? Doesn't matter! Who's ready to party?!"
They were both still turned away from us.
"I'm not going."
Elliot spoke up.
"Why?! It's your birthday-"
The one brother had turned around and was looking directly at me. He slapped the other one on the head and pointed our way. The second brother twirled around and made the same expression as the other. They both sat slack jawed and wide eyes.
"Toby, Theo... this is Dex."
I waved at both of them.
"Hello."
Neither of them moved. Not their body or expressions.
"Guys! Come on, can't you at least say hi?"
"Hi."
I think that one is the oldest. Toby. And the other one is the youngest. Theo. Elliot sits right between them.
Elliot lead me over to them. I stuck out my hand and they both shook it still looking confused.
"So...is this?"
Theo (I think) pointed at my growing bump. Elliot shook is head yes.
"Yes Theo. He's pregnant and it's my kid."
I got it right.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
Toby asked.
"We never really got around to it. Everything has been so hectic lately. There has barley been anytime to talk to each other let alone everyone else."
I nodded agreeing with Elliot.
"We didn't even know you were seeing someone. How long have you been seeing each other? How far along is the baby? How-"
"Enough questions! The baby is 7 months along. That's all you need to know."
Both of the brothers sat down in there original spots still comprehending what was going on. I laughed a little. The looked so dumbfounded.
"Elli...my feet hurt I'm going to go sit down."
"Here let me help."
I was about to protest but decided against it. I'm too tired to bicker with him. He picked me up taking me over to the couch laying me down. He covered me up and situated the pillows how I liked them. He hand the remote to me and gave me a kiss on my cheek.
"I'm going to go talk to my brother for a bit. You lay here and relax. Ok?"
I nodded my head.
"Ok. Love you."
"Love you too."
He walked away and I could here them talking but not very well. It's ok though. I know Elliot loves me. I mean he knows how I like to have my pillows sat up. He knows all my weird craving foods. He knows so many things about me that I have never told him just because he watches.
What in the world did I do to deserve him? I mean his brothers seemed to understand quite well. That's when it hit me. I'm going to have to tell my family soon. Shit.
