You struggle to sleep anymore. Things are reaching an uncomfortable space of pregnancy. But she is healthy. You gulp, as your fingers weave in Andy's on your belly. He was always touching your belly. He is going to be the best dad, and you already see it everyday.
He didn't just come home and greet you, but also made sure you squat down to kiss Maggie. Letting his hands move over the of your belly, telling you how beautiful you are swollen with him. The that came out of his sinful mouth are both ridiculously sexy and the sweetest thing. He followed you around sometimes with his hand on your belly because he needed to hold his daughter so much.
Maggie. You haven't met your angel yet, and you are so in love. You didn't know how you could love someone you'd never met, but here you are, feeling her roll around in your belly, while her daddy and your husband snuggle up so close to your back. This is the heaven you have always dreamed about. All in one king sized bed.
Even the way he sniffs the back of your neck, as he nuzzles in closer is blissful. His soft little snores behind you, relax you a bit more, despite not being able to sleep. She is perfect. Perfectly yours and Andy's. You couldn't wait, and also fear the day that she's no longer growing under your heart.
The worry you already feel about having a part of you wander around in the world is something that you are working on. Andy is great at trying to calm you down. Makes you look into his beautiful blue eyes as he asks you to count with him. Assuring you that you never have to leave Maggie if you don't want to. That he would take care of both of you, and he would sleep better knowing you feel more comfortable.
You don't know what you did to deserve Andy, but you aren't going to complain. You wanted to hold him as close to you and your daughter as possible. Keep him there forever. Your childhood fears had been wiped away the moment the doctor said that while Maggie needed to cook a bit longer, she would survive if she came early. You were finally going to be a mother, and you would never leave her.
Maggie gives the center of your belly a hard push, making sure that her daddy knows she was in there. Andy's snores turn more into heavy breathing as his hand pulses under yours. She was always the one to wake him up. It's like he had a sixth sense that his daughter was moving and being needy. She is hungry, and you're ready to grab the açai bowl that she had been craving.
Currently, you enjoy hearing your husband in various states of awakeness. He didn't need an alarm, but he didn't wake up quickly. It was a weird drawn out process. And since he could feel your daughter, mornings were that much sweeter.
