Hard Labor Baby Spencer

Father's Lunch

     Invitations went out, to Eric, the Forrester Patriarch, Ridge, father of Steffy and Thomas, Thomas, father of Douglas and Baby London,  Liam, father of Kelly, Finn, father of Hayes. Deacon, father of Hope.  Bill, father of Liam, Luna and Baby Spence  waiting for birth inside of Steffy.   The wives and significant others were having tea.  Steffy rubbing her rounded middle of an aggravated 😤 baby 👶.  Steffy's words were soothing to the unborn babe, "Calm down, my Little Celtic Warrior, you need your rest, as do my insides."  Paris came over, "You too, it feels like, I am carrying Hannibal and the Elephant 🐘 army is in there with him.  Luna was excluded from the prenatal giggling of the expectant mothers.  

     Steffy shared the smooth stone with Zoe.  She placed the stone on her rounded middle, taking Steffy's direction, she waited.  Two songs, two requests, two acceptances.  Luna loudly requested to use the stone.  Steffy ignored her.  Brooke snatched the pendant and placed on Luna"s belly.  "That's a spirit stone."  "A spirit stone?"  "It recognizes if your unborn child is carrying the spirit of soul still wondering. "  "It's like a mood ring." " Yes, these never hardly ever leave Europe."   "The spirit can only be three times refused, or you will never be considered again. "  " Give it back, Poppy, it's mine."  She placed the stone on Hope's rounded middle,  "Close your eyes, and listen for the music.
   
      Zoe snatched the stone back, placed it in Steffy's palm.  "Steffy, you should share with Luna, since you are carrying her siblings. "  Steffy and Zoe turned to leave.  The returning Fathers impeded their departure.  Steffy placed a protective hand on her belly,  "Okay, you "Little Celtic Whirlwind ", I know your Father is here."   Poppy wondered why, Luna wasn't that active, she wasn't around Bill.  Ridge entered with Taylor, on his arm,  each held the small hand of a child,  Ridge had Kelly and Taylor had Hayes.

   Luna, the spoiled daughter of Bill and Poppy, "Dad,  Steffy has a stone, and won't share with Hope and Me."  "Steffy,.."  Steffy and Zoe slipped out with Thomas and Douglas unseen.

    "Steffy, how does the stone work?" "First, the stone has to be white, like liquid pearls, and warm to the touch." The stone was milky pearl white, and had a tender warmth to it.  Place the stone on the "Mother's belly", and concentrate on the baby.   Thomas put your hand on the child, or on the stone, you too, Douglas.  Concentrate on the baby.  Thomas and Douglas almost had the experience but were interrupted by Luna.

      Thomas, Zoe, Douglas, Steffy and her children,  Ridge and Taylor stayed with Eric and Donna.  Hope and Finn, Rj and Luna, Poppy and Bill,  Brooke and the children invaded for a "family " party.   Steffy and Zoe went shopping 🛍,   They were decked out in maternity shorts and tops.  Taylor's children strayed not far from their mother.    Douglas's laughter could be heard, Hope was trying to win " her" son back, with her round belly.   Douglas was all into his new sibling.  "Aunt Steffy, could I meet my sibling?"  Steffy smiled ☺ 😊, the pendant was warm and pearly white.  Steffy placed Douglas's hand on the rounded middle,  eyes closed, he concentrated on the baby.  He met his baby sister,  he then met his brother.  "Wow, Aunt Steffy. "   He looked lovingly at Steffy,  she placed his hand on her belly, as did Kelly and Hayes.  They met the spirits of the babies that was inside Steffy.    Luna and Hope both came over, the stone was "cool", and the color was a ruby red.
