Baby's due July 2nd which is nine weeks away. It's sounds like a lot but in the scheme of things it's not and they could come before that. Lizzie's going shopping today with her sisters and she's taking the dogs so I'm going to be alone on my own today. She's finished painting the nursery and the cribs been put up finally with the help of her sisters who came over for dinner. I've started to waddle now, the walkings disappeared and it's penguin walking from here on.
I snuggle into Lizzies side and curl her hair around my finger, she holds my hand and rubs the back of it softly "alright?' I hum in response and look up at her "it's all getting so real. Bubba's going to be here so soon" she smiles softly and kisses my cheek "he is and I can't wait. Are you excited?" I nod "definitely". She traces over the butterflies that are on my pajamas "are you ever going to stop touching my tummy?" "Only when it doesn't take up half our bed" I chuckle and stroke her cheek "it's not that fat. Don't be so mean" she laughs and rubs it with her palm "maybe that was a little mean". Her hand plays with mine in the air "when's your next project?" I whisper "I'm not sure. Why?" "Because I need to prepare myself" she kisses my forehead "your so sweet". "I want to get married again" drop my hand and look up at her "really?' she nods "yeah but after Christmas" I smile widely and hold her hand "I'd love that and our baby would be there" I bring her hand to my stomach and lay it flat "not long until they meet their mama" "I know! I need to make the most of these before their taken away from me" she slides her arm up my pajama top and holds my breast. I squint jumping a little "careful, they're sore" she kisses my forehead softly "I love you Y/n Olsen" "I love you more Elizabeth Olsen'.
"Babe what are you eating? It stinks" Lizzie asks as I bite into my sandwich, I swallow it and put it back down on the plate "I was wondering when you'd get up. You look stunning by the way. halloumi, feta, mustard, tomatoes, spinach and coriander" I list causing her to fake gag "hey stop that! It's really good. You should try". Lizzie tightens her ponytail and pushes the plate away "I'm good but thanks for the offer" she holds my hips and pulls me into her "before I go can I get you anything? More gherkins?" "Yeah! Gherkins, mustard, peanut butter ice-cream and cheese ice-cream" "I don't think they make cheese ice-cream babe, I'm sorry" "fine plain ice-cream and you can add cheese to it". She leans forward and kisses my lips "no that sounds gross. I'm not buying plain ice-cream for it to have cheese. What about caramel?" "No strawberry then" "why do you want strawberry? You hate strawberry ice-cream, we both do" "I do but I like it now. I'll hate it after pregnancy though, I hope". She looks at her watch "the twins are going to be here any second. Let's get you a drink and lay on the sofa. What do you want?" "Lemonade with elderflower cordial" "of course. Let's get you off your feet first though" I nod and start waddling to the living room. Lizzie follows behind checking I've got my steps "which sofa?" I point to the biggest one and sit down with her help "do you want to lay down?" I nod so she helps me to lay down and puts a pillow under my head. She turns the fan on to keep me cool before kissing my stomach and then my forehead "love you" "I love you too". She comes back in with my elderflower lemonade and moves the coffee table so I can reach it, it's in a Stanley so I can pick it up without knocking anything over. Lizzie sits beside me and pulls my legs up onto her lap "so what do you want for your birthday?"

"Um well I'd like a healthy baby and a wife who doesn't go to work until it's four months old" "well. I'm positive our baby's going to be perfect and healthy and I'm sure I can see what I can do about staying here with you" I smile widely and hold my hand out which she takes "and I'd also like aaternity dress and a breast pump please" "we can buy those anyway. You don't need them for your birthday" I shrug my shoulders "well it is my first birthday this year for like 12 years" "exactly so it needs to be the best one. I've got a couple of ideas" "that's fine. All I want is cake". She puts the laptop on the floor and lays her head on my stomach "your birthdays first though" I smile softly and watch as she presses a soft kiss on my stomach. I look at my watch "your sister's should be here in a minute" "I'll get the dogs ready and then I'll be right back" "okay, don't rush. Remember your purse this time"
"The twins have just arrived!" She calls opening the front door "Lizzie!" They squeal making me smile "where's Y/n? Is she okay?" "I'm in here Ash!" I call and pause my show. I smile at the door seeing her appear in the doorway "how are you? You look like you could pop" she jokes "I feel like I could but there's still nine weeks until this little bugger gets here. I'm now waddling instead of walking" I share and Mary-Kate stands next to her with Lizzie wearing over their shoulders "I hope Lizzie's been looking after you. Has she filled your needs since she wasn't able to put up a crib on her own?" "Oi!" She shouts making me laugh "yes she has. I've been fed and I've got a drink so I should be okay for the next thirty minutes". We chat for a little until the twins decide to wait in the car whilst Lizzie says her goodbyes. She helps me up so I can get up whilst she isn't here and lifts my swollen ankles onto the puff all whilst Leia and Rey lick my cheeks with their leads hanging past them. "Are you going to be okay?' "I will. I'll get my peace and quiet for once" she smiles widely and pecks my lips twice "call me if you need me. My wife who's in her third trimester needs everything she wants" I laugh and cup her cheek "meeting you was seriously one of the best things I've done in my whole life" she pouts "ouch" "oh come on! Your seriously telling me buying myself a whole bar of galaxy chocolate that weight 2kg compared to meeting you. Your way off" I joke and she leans in for another kiss "can I give you a love mark before I go?' I shake my head but kiss her lips "no because your mum's coming and you'll be late" "not if I suck hard enough" I push her away "get out of here!" She grabs the dogs leads and they jump down from the sofa "seriously though call me" "will do and now go and have fun before your a mum. Remember to get me my things!". The front door closed and I watch as they all get in the car, Lizzie blows me a kiss through the window which I pretend to catch and then watch as they drive away. "mamas finally gone" I tell the baby and rub my stomach "I bet she's going to come back with things for you. Mama never listens to me" I unpause my show and start it again.
My phone starts ringing so I check to see who it is. My wife. I answer it and hold it to my ear "hello?" "hi babe, everything alright?' she asks from the other end "yes, everything's fine" "do you need us to come home? I'm more th-" "Lizzie! Stop. I don't need you right now, I'm fine. I'm watching TV whilst eating a bagel with bacon and cream cheese so I'm pretty happy right now" "what do you mean right now?" "Well I mean now, like right now. I don't need you. I'll phone you if I need you. Okay?' "okay I'm just checking' I pause my show "sweetheart there's still nine weeks, that's like three months. Three months until their here. You can start checking on me when your out when we're down to two okay? Have fun with your sisters and remember my food" "I will, love you' "love you too. However, baby isn't happy because you are all the cookies" "it's not my fault their mommy gave me the last one" I laugh softly "bring me back cookies aswell. I love you" "love you and beanie too'. I swear she comes up with a new name for them every week.
There's a nock on the door so I get off the sofa slowly and waddle my way over to the door. They nock again just as I reach it and reach for the handle. "David" "Y/n hi, is Lizzie in?" I shake my head and lean against the door "no she's out with Mary-Kate and Ashley. Can I give her a message?" "Um no I'd rather speak to her myself. Do you know how long until she comes back?" "She shouldn't be too long. I can give her a call and ask" "oh no, that's alright. Can I wait here?' I nod "yeah sure, come in". I open the door and he walks past taking his shoes off "sorry, it's a bit cluttered. We're throwing out some old things so there's space when the baby arrives" he puts his shoes on the rack and hangs up his jacket "how long now? Like four months?' "nine weeks so about three months" I share "would you like a drink? I'm sure Lizzies got beers in the garage-" "I'm fine but thanks. Can I see the nursery?" "Sure". I follow him up the stairs and point to the door he opens it and we both go in "wow, this is amazing".
