Say You Won't Let Go (Harringrove)

Chapter 14: Chats with Dustin

(Steve: 23 weeks)

If you could ask Steve one thing about pregnancy that he hated, he would reply with: Morning Sickness, he hated it, when he first got it, he thought it was a stomach bug until he took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. He did read up on how long morning sickness was supposed to last, and it said in his research: Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy usually start before 9 weeks of pregnancy, for most women, it goes away by 14 weeks of pregnancy. 

Steve was now 23 weeks pregnant and was still having it, he later found out that some women would have it threw out their whole pregnancy, and he knew he would be one of the unlucky ones. He hated it as well, being so sick in the mornings was never fun, since he couldn't eat breakfast, he always got really dizzy,well, he couldn't eat breakfast since everything made him want to vomit after his puking episodes. Billy tried his best to help Steve out by forcing him to drink water and try to make him eat a little bit since Steve's six months pregnant; Six months, this pregnancy went fast, Steve couldn't believe it, he really was going to miss being pregnant but he wouldn't miss the urge to throw up every five to ten minutes. 

"So, how are you?" Dustin asked, he invited Steve out, Billy was at work, he was a part of the reason why Dustin invited Steve out, Billy wanted his very pregnant lover to get out of the house to get his mind off of things. Since Steve was six months pregnant, he was in a lot of pain, so, Robin forced Steve to go on maternity leave until the twins were born, which Steve was very grateful for since the morning sickness came back into full swing and he was in the restroom every five minutes, which made some customers mad but Robin always stuck up for Steve by telling the un-happy customers, "He's pregnant, okay,  he can't help it!" Which made the customers more confused than upset when Robin would say that. 

"I have been better." His babysitter replied, they were sitting in a coffee shop, which Dustin picked out since he and Steve always went there while Dustin did his homework and Steve would talk a mile a minute about how much he hated high school.  "The twins aren't making it easy on me at all." 

"Aw, I'm sorry to hear that." 

"It's okay, Just three more months of this shit and I'll be done with this pregnancy." Dustin laughed a little at the older male.  "I know this is soon but do you want any more kids after the twins get older?" Steve raised an eyebrow. "Maybe in the near future, but right now, I just want to have the twins, and on top of that, I have night sickness now." 

"Oh, wow," Dustin said, his eyes big. "I throw up in the mornings, I throw up at night, that's been my life for about four weeks." 

"But are you nervous at all about giving birth to the twins?"

"Not really, I mean, yeah, I am but I'm not since Billy and I haven't talked about a birth plan yet since I told him yesterday, I wanted to wait to see what we are having, and when my due date is, so, we could start talking about it." Dustin nodded. "What are you thinking about doing as birth-wise?"

"I actually want to do a homebirth." Steve replied, "My mom had one with me."

"Wouldn't that hurt though?"

"Maybe, I want to try it though." The older male knew it was going to hurt like hell if he does a homebirth but he wanted to feel everything, which sounds crazy but he did, since it was his first time giving birth, he wanted to feel everything. 

"I can't tell you what to do on what you should and shouldn't do." Dustin replied, "It's your choice, but I would like to be here for it though."

"Of course, I would love you and everyone else to be there, since I know for a fact, Billy would want Max to be there since she is his sister."
