Unexpected Love

35. Pregnancy Yoga Class

Lucy groaned, pulling the blankets tighter around herself as Angela's gentle shaking persisted. "Come on, sleepyhead," Angela coaxed, her voice lilting with excitement. "It's time for your pregnancy yoga class." Lucy's eyes fluttered open, her initial grogginess replaced by a wave of annoyance. "But it's so early," she mumbled, trying to bury herself deeper into the warmth of their bed.

Angela simply chuckled, sitting on the edge of the mattress and rubbing circles on Lucy's back. "It'll be worth it, I promise. Remember how much better you felt last week?" Reluctantly, Lucy sat up, allowing Angela to help her into her workout clothes. As they made their way to the living room, Lucy couldn't help but feel a twinge of curiosity mixed with her apprehension.

She had never been one for yoga, but Angela had insisted that it would benefit her during the pregnancy. The twins were growing fast, and she knew she needed to start preparing herself physically and mentally.

Together, they settled onto their mats, Angela turning on a soothing playlist and dimming the lights. The instructor's voice flowed through the speakers, guiding them through each pose with calm precision. Despite her initial reluctance, Lucy found herself relaxing into the gentle stretches, her breaths evening out as she focused on the movements.

Throughout the session, Angela offered encouragement, her smile never faltering. By the time they reached savasana, Lucy felt a noticeable difference in her mood and energy levels. "See?" Angela whispered as they lay side by side, hands resting on her expanding belly.

"It's good for you." Lucy couldn't deny it - she did feel better. Maybe Angela was right after all. As they lay there, listening to the soft hum of the air conditioner, Lucy smiled. They were in this together, every step of the way.

As Lucy attempted the 'Warrior II' pose, her balance slightly off due to her growing belly, Angela couldn't help but smirk. "Sexy baby mama," she teased, her voice dripping with affection and admiration.

Lucy rolled her eyes playfully but couldn't suppress the smile that tugged at her lips. *Here I am, trying to stay fit and sane during pregnancy, and she's making jokes*, Lucy thought, but she loved it.

Angela had always known how to lighten the mood and make her feel beautiful, even when she felt anything but graceful. Lucy adjusted her position slightly, the weight of the twins shifting inside her.

Despite the physical challenges, she found a sense of peace in these classes, a chance to connect with her body and the two lives growing within her.

Angela's comment only served to enhance that connection, reminding her that even amidst the aches and exhaustion, she was still desirable and loved.

As they moved through the poses, Angela continued to offer encouragement and support, her seductive smiles and whispered compliments a welcome distraction from the discomfort.

By the end of the session, Lucy felt rejuvenated, her body stronger and her spirits higher.

As Lucy stood in 'Tree Pose', her breath slow and steady, Angela couldn't resist the urge to touch her. Sliding her hands up Lucy's waist, she felt the warmth radiating from her skin, the subtle curves shifting with each breath.

Lucy's eyes closed at the contact, a soft sigh escaping her lips as she leaned into Angela's touch. Their bond was palpable, their love a tangible force that seemed to grow stronger with each passing day.

Angela's thumbs traced small circles on Lucy's lower back, offering silent reassurance and support. In that moment, surrounded by the calming scent of lavender candles and the rhythmic hum of the air conditioner, they were the only two people in the world.

The weight of the impending birth, the worries about parenthood, everything faded away, replaced by the simple pleasure of being together. Angela leaned forward, pressing a tender kiss to Lucy's cheek as the instructor's voice droned on in the background. "I love you," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the music.

Lucy's eyes opened, meeting hers with a soft smile. "I love you too," she replied, her voice filled with a depth of emotion that brought tears to Angela's eyes.

They remained in that embrace for several moments longer, drawing strength from each other, before reluctantly returning to their practice.

The yoga session was about self-care, but for Angela, it was also about cherishing these fleeting moments of just the two of them before they welcomed two babies into the world.
