The following day, whilst the boys were in a recovery session, Kalyn and I were at McDonald Jones Stadium, with the team's photographer.
We stood in front of the goal post, his arm around my back and his hand under my bump.
I was holding up the tiny little knights jersey I used previously, whilst Kalyn held up the ultrasound. Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely over the moon for our baby, but I don't think it can top off my excitement to watch Kalyn become a father.
He's the most gentle, patient, understanding and caring person I've ever met, and I know he will do nothing but be an incredible father for our little boy or girl. "Alright guys, I think we've got the perfect shot." he said, walking over to us and skimming through the photos.
"Oh mate, they're perfect, thank you so much for that." Kalyn said, shaking his hand. "No worries, we'll have them all fixed up and ready by 10am tomorrow. Just confirming you wanted us to post it?" I nodded, "Yeah, that would be great, thanks again."
I dropped Kalyn off at his session afterwards, "give me a call when you're ready, I love you." He kissed me, then his fingers, sliding his hand under my hoodie and onto my small bump, of which felt to be growing so rapidly, "I love you more sweet thing, I'll see you later. Drive safe, okay?"

I was lying at home on the bed, my body had just started aching out of nowhere. I almost fell asleep, when my phone rang. Kalyn. "Hey honey, I'm ready when you are." I sat up, "Yeah righto, I'll be there shortly." But he sorta cut me off towards then end, "are you alright? You don't sound well."
"I've just started aching out of nowhere, but don't stress I'll be there soon." He replied again, this time sounding worried. "No no, honey stay there and relax, I'll see if one of the boys can drop me home."
I felt bad, but I didn't want him to worry. "Are you sure? Kay it's no problem at all." This was just going to be a back and fourth argument if I kept going. "Be a good girl and stay in bed, I'll see you in a bit. I love you."
I put my phone down and flipped back down on the bed, placing my hands overs my stomach, "what are you doing to me bubba." I mumbled.
Soon enough, I woke up to the bed sink beside beside me, a hand on my waist, and a kiss to my cheek. "Hey baby girl, how are you feeling?" I just shrugged to his question, I felt so light but so heavy all at once.
"Do you maybe want to take a nice warm bath, and I'll put in some of those recovery bath salts things I have that you like to steal all the time, hey?" God I loved this man, how on earth did I get so lucky.
"Yes please." I whispered, fuck, even speaking hurt. He petted my waist, and kissed me again, "Too easy, I'll go run it for you."
I sat up and leant against the bed frame, and then sat there for a minute. I don't know why I was aching so badly, I haven't even hit the halfway mark yet.
"Righto princess, ready?" He walked out of the ensuite and held out a hand for me, of which I took. But as soon as I stood up, I felt really lightheaded. He sat me back down, then squatted down to my eye level. "Oh honey, you're losing all your colour."
He wiped a stray tear from my cheek. "Why is this so difficult already?" I mumbled. He shrugged, "I don't know hun, but hopefully it shouldn't be like this for much longer. How about we give Georgia a call? She might have an explanation for us, she's the professional I suppose."
He sat there, listening for a bit, until he finally got off the call, "It should only be your uterus stretching to make more space, the pain should ease down by tonight, if not then it'll be gone in the morning. So maybe just try get some rest."
I grinned slightly, and giggled, "maybe it needs more room because they're gonna have your big head." He laughed at my words, then looked back down at me, "woopsie, my bad."

KALYNS POV //
As I was in the kitchen making dinner, I heard the bedroom door open. "Hey bubs, feeling any better?" I turned the stove on low and turned away, as Lucie was walking out of the bedroom in a pair of my boxers and a bra.
I approached her, and snaked my arms around her waist, as her arms wrapped around my neck. "Yeah, little bit." I moved my hands to her bump, which was insane to think she was three weeks off half way, and her belly was already very visible.
"Bump's bumping hun, and you're just glowing." She looked up at me a grinned slightly, "This is why I love you as much as I do."
I kissed her in the dim lit room, which felt as if we had just reenacted the night we first moved in this place together 2 years ago. We had the spare bedrooms mattress on the floor in the living room as a couch, for weeks before ours arrived. The night everything in my life went from great, to absolutely perfect.
"Now, do you want some dinner?" She went quiet for a second, seeming more hesitant than anything. "No thanks, I think I should just let it settle." I mean she had a fair point, except I was worried about her not eating enough.
"Look, you don't have to have any of this heavy stuff, but at least have something little please? You've only had breakfast hun, and even that was a small portion. Besides, you're eating for two now." I moved one of my hands from her waist to her belly again.
