~~~~~~~~~~~

With the baby bump growing more and more every day, it was getting to where you couldn't move around much anymore.  If you tried to stand up you would end right up right back down in the couch cushions, slumped in your seat so your baby and yourself would be comfortable, or at least try to get that way.

You were also bored out of your mind.  You couldn't leave the house for the fear of your water breaking in the middle of some crowded place; you couldn't work or you would tire within an hour and get nothing down, plus you didn't want to go out in your pajamas, you'd look ridiculous.  Even your husband didn't want you going out without him going with you.  Hugo was sometimes an ignorant bastard, but he was your ignorant bastard, and he made sure people knew it.

How you ended up like this today, you had no idea why.

There you sat in your big arm chair, slumped in your seat until your rear was almost at the edge of the seat.  You had a can of beans with you in your seat.  Your first intention was to cook them for lunch but instead you found yourself in the seat, with a can of beans, and trying to balance it on your baby bump.  Why? BECAUSE YOU WERE BORED OUT OF YOUR MIND.  Your tongue stuck out to make it look like you were concentrating, which you were, intensely in fact, so much that you never heard Hugo enter the front door.

As your husband walked in he set a few grocery bags on the counter, and just as he was about to call you he saw you sitting in the arm chair with a can of beans on your stomach.  Had you lost it?

Hugo stood there with one brow cocked and the other down, staring at you with confused and concerned eyes.

"Um. . . (y/n)?"  He called to you.  It took you a minute but you slowly lifted your head to him, eyes still on the can and hands ready to catch the can if it fell.

"Ye-es?"

Hugo was about to say something, his mouth opened a bit before he closed it, trying to grasp at what you were doing.  Your (e/c) eyes finally met his figure, and you smiled stupidly up at him.  You finally managed to balance the can on your baby bump.

"I did it!"  You say happily.  Your eyes followed Hugo as he slowly walked up to you to observe what you had done, and when he got up to you he couldn't help but smile, knowing it was probably the only thing that kept you occupied today for at least a minute.  He knew staying at the house all day was a bummer, but the baby had to rest, as did you.

"Were you planning to this or play with it all day?"  Hugo chuckled as he flashed you a smile and picked up the can.  You shrugged.

"I was going to eat it but then I got dizzy and sat down.  Then I ended up doing what I was doing."

"From being dizzy?"

"No, just too damn lazy to get back up."

Vasquez began to unbutton his jacket and hung it over the back of a kitchen chair.  He grinned before he spoke to you.

"Is this what happens when I'm away from home?"

You accusingly point a finger up at him.

"Hey, you're the one who knocked me up remember?  How'd you like to carry around a child for 8 months?"

"Well that's why I love you sweetheart, you're tough as nails."  Hugo said as he laughed and pushed your hair back gently.

Hugo bent down to give you a kiss on your forehead.  He then got down on one knee and leaned in to kiss your bare baby bump, you couldn't keep your shirt over it or it would just roll upwards.  His lips were warm and felt nice on your skin, you giggled as he repeatedly kissed your stomach.

"I'll make the beans for you, " Hugo said as he stood up, "and in the meantime, go change.  You've been in those clothes for three days now."

You gave him a dirty grin.

"Oh?  Is that a way to say you want to help me with that?"

"Oh you know I'd love to do more than just help you change."  Hugo said, his voice rough, "but it won't be long before our baby comes.  We'l have all the time in the world after to, uh, 'catch up'."

You flashed him a grin and chuckled softly.  The smell of your meal filled your nose and made you smile, but the heat from the stove made you sleepy.

And before he even realized, Hugo finished your lunch, turning with a bowl of food to see you sleeping soundly in the arm chair with your hands holding your stomach as if you were protecting your precious child.  He smiled at the sight of you and placed the bowl in the microwave for later, then walking over to you and kissing you softly on your forehead.  Hugo even knelt to kiss your baby bump, telling both of you to sleep well before he went into his office.

It wouldn't be any day now that the two of you would welcome a new lief to the family.  He pulled out a pen and piece of paper, then beginning to write down names for the child and what he planned to do once once his son or daughter was old enough.  Hugo waited a long time for this moment, and it was finally going to happen.  

He was going to have a family with his beautiful wife.
