What Is This Feeling? ( A Moana Fanfic)

Yet Another Check Up

Yet Another Check Up 

Chapter 80

Moana's POV

 2 days later...

        Maui and I are having one of our last checkups with Dr. Raido before I give birth. Dr. Raido comes in with a smile on his face as usual. Honestly, I think he's one of the happiest people I've ever seen. Not once at any of my appointments has he been anything other than pleasant. Maui hugs him first and then I give him a hug as well. "So Moana, how does it feel to be in the home stretch now?" I laugh. "It feels pretty good. The baby's been kicking me and floating around in my stomach like crazy. I think she wants to come out soon. I can't imagine that living inside my stomach is very comfortable." That gets a laugh out of him. "I can only imagine. Let's get you and the baby checked out." 

     I know the routine by heart at this point. I'm used to the cool gel being rubbed on my stomach, the setup of the ultrasound machine, and the way that Dr. Raido jots down notes on his notepad. Maui and I look at the screen with smiles that stretch from ear to ear. We can make our daughter's face vividly. She's so cute. Her cuteness is literally melting my heart. I think Maui feels the same way because he's wiping away tears. "Aw Maui, is something having a case of the feels?" He rolls his eyes. "Oh hush Moana. You think I can't see your eyes watering either." I playfully pout and he laughs. "Point proven." 

    Dr. Raido jots down a couple of notes. "Based on the information I have from your ultrasound and my observations, there's a chance that the baby could be born a week or two early." Worry arises within me. "Is it bad when the baby comes early?" "It is in cases of premature babies that are born between weeks 20 through 30 but since you're already 35 weeks along, that's not a problem thankfully. A one or two week early birth is actually quite common." I breathe a sigh of relief. "That's good to hear. Thank you Dr. Raido for easing my worry." "You're welcome Moana. Now before you go, I have a paper to give you. One second." He dashes off for a second and comes back with a paper in hand. "This is a list of exercises that you should try in the next couple of weeks. They not only help to keep your blood flow active, but they help to endure a more smooth labor. Some of them may seem stupid, but I every female patient of mine who was pregnant told me how beneficial they were." 

   I take the list from Dr. Raido and read it over a bit. The list of exercises includes several yoga positions, squats, shoulder presses, and more. Hmm I think to myself. Sounds easy enough. I then hand the list to Maui who fights to repress laughter at some of them. I thank Dr. Raido and we head out. When we're out of sight from his hut, Maui grins at me. "I can't wait to assist you with some of their exercises. Who knows, we might even come up with a few new positions ourselves." I blush immensely and hide my face in Maui's shoulder. God he always finds a way to make me turn into a tomato. Between his wit, personality traits, and hotness, it's just too much for my heart to handle sometimes.
