Hellboy OC Insert

Chapter Seventeen

I stared at the eggs Liz was making, but they didn't look too appealing. No that's not what I wanted, I didn't know what I wanted but I wanted it now. Turning away I stormed out of the room, wanting to figure out what the hell it wanted before it drove me nuts. I wish Abe was here, he and Red went out to go out to go get some stuff for the nursery. So Liz and I were stuck home, well she was stuck but I could go out if I wanted. But it was raining and cold so it was a no. Going down to Abe's room to go see if reading a bit would help get my mind off the fact that I had cravings worse then when I was on my monthlies. Walking past the tank I stopped dead, something smelled amazing. Turning I realized what it was, Abe's thousand year eggs he loved. Walking over closer I leaned over and sniffed, amazing. Reaching over I grabbed an egg and took a small bite. It was heaven. I sat there and ate about three before I realized I was being watched. Turning I saw Abe, Red and Liz, all whom seemed amused.

" What? They taste good. No judging."

I grumbled, grabbing one more and walking over to my chair, tucking my legs under me as I did.

" Red and I got some things but we talked to the shop owner, and with the way you want things he said it would be easier for you to go there yourself to pick out the items you want."

Nodding I took a bite of the egg, wishing that I had a few more, but then in the next second I was pushing off the couch and racing over to the bathroom. When I had brushed my teeth a few times I pulled my hair back, feeling like utter shit. Looking at my still flat stomach I grumbled,

" It's your fault. I blame you."

Gently poking I started to think about what it might be. Maybe a boy, he would be just like his father. Handsome and smart, maybe even better than me. Probably better than me already. Sighing I rested my hand on my stomach, searching for the flicker of life, and when I found it I smiled. My baby, it was alive and I could feel it. It was apart of me and the man who was my entire world.

" I don't think it's a boy. Besides she will be as beautiful as her mother."

Snorting I turned, started to go to my room. I was going to change into sweats, screw jeans. Even though it wasn't as prominent they were getting tighter and it was uncomfortable. I heard Abe follow me but I ignored him, slipping into the comfy clothing.

" You want to go swimming later?"

He asked, his voice was soft, like he was thinking about something, shrugging I turned,

" Maybe. If I don't fall asleep before lunch, again. I don't know how Liz did it. I'm only in the first month or so and I'm always tired."

It was annoying, I could be sitting down one moment reading a book and the next I find it about four hours later. It was frustrating because Liz didn't have that until about four months, me I had it within the first month! Why was I so lucky? Getting up I turned to Abe, who looked amused,

" It's normal, everyone is different."

Grumbling I put my head on his chest, grumbling until he wrapped his arms around me.

" I love you Eleanor."

"And I love you Abe."

-time skip four months-

I glared at Red, he had a large coffee in his hand with a huge look of guilt on his face. I had sat up all night throwing up the dinner Liz made, then he turned around and brought coffee home. Because he thought it might help. Getting up I nearly tripped as my feet disappeared beneath my stomach. Placing a hand behind my back as I walked over to Red, glaring at him the whole way before I started to sniffle. Did he want me to throw up more?

" Red, did you want me to throw up again? I'm so tired of throwing up then brushing my teeth only to throw up again a little while later."

His eyes widened as tears started to fall, it was so weird, everything set me off and it was annoying as hell.

" You know what hurts the most Red is that PEOPLE DON'T FUCKING CARE THAT I LOOK LIKE A GOD DAMNED BLIMP!"

I started crying and then took the coffee he had and gulped it down. Not caring.

" I want coffee and I'm sure as hell going to dri-"

It hit me then, spinning around I just made it to the sink to throw up. I felt Red pull my hair out of the way so it wouldn't get vomit on it.

" And I thought Liz had bad mood swings, yours are about ten times worse, but you haven't-"

I turned and glared, shocking him when I poked his forehead.

" You are a pain in my ass..."

Then I felt the baby kick, so I grabbed Red's hand and gently placed it where the kicking was. His eyes lit up with happiness. Smiling I let him feel his niece or nephew kick, which was something everyone had been able to do. It had been avoiding Red almost, always stopping before he was able to feel. Now he was able to. When it stopped Red slowly pulled his hand away,

" Awe sibling bonding. Abe isn't that sweet?"

Turning I saw that Liz and Abe were standing in the doorway, each holding a twin. Little Bella looked annoyed while May was sitting there happily chewing on her fist. Walking over to them I held my arms out, both babies glanced at eachother and then lunged forward, trying to get into my arms. Smiling I balanced both girls on my hips and blew a raspberry on each of their shoulders, getting a nice chorus of squeals. I love the girls, and from what I could tell they returned the favor. Smiling at Liz I turned and headed over to the living room, wanting to play with them on the floor. But as soon as I set them down they started to crawl away. Sitting there I watched them roll around and giggle. Pressing a hand to my stomach I thought about how I was going to be a mother in a few short months, I was scared but looking at the two happy babies my brother and Liz had made together it made me know that Abe and I were going to be just as happy, and our child would be as well. They would get along as well as siblings. Looking over I saw that Abe was leaning on the doorway, his eyes were shining as he was reading my thoughts, Holding my arms up I grinned as he walked over and sat down, pulling me onto his lap. We just sat there watching the twins play. Leaning my head on his shoulder I slowly started to drift off. Then I was asleep, dreaming of the future.

-Abe's pov-

I stared down at Ellie as she drifted off into sleep, her belly was growing with each week, but she was still the most beautiful woman in the universe. Her dark hair was slowly falling into her face. She had a small smile, like she was dreaming of something that she loved. Glancing at the twins I was surprised that they were watching me. Gently reaching out I saw that they were thinking about the moments that she sung to them, or ranted while she changed or fed them. Most of the ranting was how their cousin was not letting her have anything she wanted, no coffee. It was almost hilarious to wake her up now. She was almost grouchy twice as long as she used to be unless she had highly caffeinated tea, which would put her back to sleep in about three hours after finishing the pot. Sliding her out from over me I got up and grabbed the twins, setting them into their play pin. They didn't complain, they seemed to understand that it was time for them to be where we didn't have to watch them as closely. Then I went back and gently picked up Ellie, who curled into me, grabbing onto my shirt as I walked to her room. I had tried to convince her to let me bring her bed into my room but she refused, saying that she didn't like how big and open it was and how out of place it would have looked. Even though she slept more on the couch than her own bed. Stubborn woman. As I slipped her under her covers her grip tightened, her eyes fluttering open for a few seconds.

" Stay with me. I don't want to be alone."

Nodding I kicked off my shoes, slipping between the cool covers with her. Pulling her close to me I felt her curl into me more, letting go of my shirt and onto my arm. Her breathing deepened even more and I smiled. She was cute when she slept.I remember when we were younger and she refused to sleep, saying it was for the weak, then pass out five minutes later. Dr.Boom always chuckled and covered her with a blanket, saying she just wanted to be near me. That she felt protective of me. As strange as it was it helped with the fact that someone cared. Now that someone was in my arms, sleeping while carrying my child. I would have never thought that something like this would happen, but it did. I was the luckiest man in the world. Closing my eyes I allowed myself to drift off as well, smiling as I nuzzled her shoulder.
