Chenford one-shots

Month No. 8

It was Friday evening. Lucy and Emma were at home, spending time together, while Noah was sleeping and Tim was doing the groceries. The girls were on the white fluffy carpet in the living room, playing with some toys. Lucy was watching Emma changing the clothes of her dolls. She was so cute she could've watched her all day. 

Lucy was exhausted. Her back was hurting, her legs were sore and the baby didn't let her sleep all night. She was 8 months pregnant and it felt way more harder than the other pregnancies did. She got up from the carpet, which she barely could, and then went into the kitchen to get some water. She came back and sat on the couch, one hand on her growing belly. She closed her eyes and let her head fall onto the back of the couch, but the next second she heard her daughter's voice.

E: Mommy, come play! she said with the dolls in her hand.

L: Em...I'll come in a minute, okay? Mommy just needs to rest a little...she said sighing.

E: Okay! she said as she went back to playing with her toys.

A couple of minutes later, the front door slowly opened and Tim came in, holding two bags in each hand. Emma got up and ran to her dad, while Lucy remained on the couch. Emma wrapped her small arms around Tim's legs. He let the bags on the floor and put his hand on her back as he bent down next to her.

T: Hey sweetie, where's your little brother and mommy?  he asked while rubbing her back.

E: Noah is sleeping and mommy is on the couch. she said as she pointed in her direction.

They went inside the living room and Emma got back to her dolls.

T: Hey. he said in a soft voice as he sat on the couch next to his wife. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer to him. She let her head fall onto his chest and closed her eyes as she placed her arm around his stomach.

T: You okay baby? he asked kissing her crown.

L: Mhmm...Just...tired. she said with a small smile

T: How's the little one doing? He asked looking at her 7 months baby bump.

L: He kicked all day long...I could use a break. she said as she started rubbing her belly.

She was exhausted, Tim couldn't bare to see her like that so he tried to make her laugh.

T: You know...if I would be able to I would take the baby and put it in my belly. he said serious while rubbing her back. Lucy let out a chuckle.

T: Why are you laughing?! he asked in a funny tone while tickling her side.

L: You would look hilarious with a 8 months belly!

T: So you prefer me with my sexy abs? She let out another chuckle.

L: Yeah, much more. 

Their moment ended when Emma called them again.

E: Mommy! Can you play now?

T: I'll come play with you, Em. he said as he kissed Lucy and then got on the carpet next to his daughter. As soon as Tim left from next to Lucy she started stirring trying to find a comfortable position to sit in. Her back started hurting again and the baby was kicking, making her sigh.

T: You okay? he asked as he saw she was in pain.

E: Daddy! Play!

T: One second Emma.

L: I'm okay...My back hurts a little, that's all.

Their conversation was interrupted by their baby boy crying. 

L: I guess someone's up...she said as she got up from the couch with one hand on her belly.

T: I'll go. he said firmly as he stood up too.

E: No! Daddy! You play with me! she said looking up at him.

L: It's okay babe

T: You sure?

L: Yes, play with Emma.

Tim got back down next to Emma and Lucy went upstairs. She picked Noah up from his bed and changed him. She got back downstairs holding him on her hip. Tim saw them and got up and walked over to them.

T: Hey buddy, why are you crying, huh? He said as he remove strands of his blonde hair from his teary big blue eyes. Tim took Noah from Lucy and started rocking him. 

L: He had been moody all day...

T: Is that so? He said as he lifted him up in the air, making him laugh.

L: I should make him something to eat... she said as she went into the kitchen, followed by Tim and Noah.

T: Did you hear that little guy? Mommy's gonna make you something yummy to eat. he said in a baby voice. 

Lucy prepared Noah some baby food and then Tim fed him. It was getting late so they took dinner and then put the kids to bed. Now it was just Lucy and Tim, cuddled up on the couch like they used to do every night. He was holding her tight, kissing her every time he had the chance to, making her laugh and forget about the pain. After some more time they got upstairs into their bedroom and went to sleep.

This is the end of the part, hope you liked it!
