Chapter 19: It's baby shower time

Four months later:

Jordan had taken Brittney, and they had a maternity photoshoot. Some with her alone, others with them together, and a few holding their ultrasound photos. 

They had found out the gender of their baby, and they were expecting a little baby boy in four weeks or less.

Jordan was so excited he couldn't wait to meet their son. Brittney was very self-conscious about her stomach and the weight she had gained. 

Jordan would tell her she was beautiful and to stop worrying about it. He would rub her stomach every day and talk to their baby. He read him a story every night. 

He and Britt still got along great; he was doing everything around the house, and she had joined him for his tour until she was six months along; after that, she wasn't allowed to fly. So she only joined him when the shows were close enough to drive. 

They had a pretty good marriage; they talked and had fun. The best part was they loved each other and always tried to be together as often as they could. 

They had run into Evie a few times in town, at restaurants, at the supermarket, and even at the mall. Jordan would just roll his eyes when he saw her; she always stopped and talked to them.

Brittney really liked how Jordan would always pull her close as they stood there. She had made a few rude comments, and Jordan would call her down. Once, she said something about how big Brittney was, and he told her to shut up. 

"Do you even have a clue how rude that was? She is carrying my child, our child. That is our baby growing in her stomach."

"Well, I'm glad it's her and not me."

"That makes two of us." She looked at him as we walked away. 

Brittney kept looking away, and he knew it hurt her feelings. "Baby, don't pay any attention to anything she says; she's just mad because you are married to me and pregnant with my child. I think you are absolutely gorgeous, and what I think is the only thing that matters.

She smiled at him, and he kissed her. They finished shopping, and he bought her all the snacks she had been craving. He would run out most nights and get her some doughnuts or an icee. 

Today was their baby shower, and his sisters, mom, and sisters-in-law had planned it. He had bought her a cute outfit for her shower. It was blue and had a skirt with a separate top. He thought it looked sexy, but Brittney was worried because it showed her belly. 

"Babe, it is tight and really shows how big I am."

"That's the point, babe. I think it looks so sexy on you. If we hadn't already showered, I would take you to bed right now and show you just how sexy you are. It takes everything I have just to keep my hands off of you. If it were up to me, I would keep you in bed all day and all night."

"Jordan, this is why I love you so much. You are so damn good to me, let's get to the baby shower so we can get home, and you can show me just how much you want me."

"Oh, I sure will all night long. Please tell me this is how we will always be like we just can't get enough of each other."

"Oh, I think we are always going to be this way, at least the most we can since we are going to have a baby soon."

"Nap time will be mommy and daddy time."

"After six weeks, it can be."

"I know we have to wait until you are cleared by the doctor. Daddy is going to be taking care of himself during that time. Alright, let's go, sweetheart."
