I Want To End This

(Dan is 9 months pregnant)

Dan's POV

    I thought morning sickness was supposed to stop in the morning.I was so,so wrong.I sit hunched over the toilet.Phil rushes in to the sound of me retching.He rubs my back as I spill my guts out.I try to get up,but my lack of balance makes me fall to my ass.I get helped to the sofa by my fiancé.

    "How're you feeling?" Phil asks.

    "Pissed.I thought I would be pregnant for just nine months.No one told me I had four weeks left.I don't understand why women say pregnancies last nine months when it's actually ten."

    "Dan,baby.Relax.The Doctor said that only a small percent of women actually give birth on exactly forty weeks.She said you'd probably have the baby a few weeks early."

    "I know.It just sucks.I can't walk,I can't eat without vomiting,my bump is huge,and doing anything just causes pain.I can't even spend Christmas with my family this year."

    "Well,trust me.Everyone will be down in London once the baby is here.They'll be dying to see her."

    "Heh,you're right.But we have important choices to make.We still haven't thought about her name."

    "Well...How about Aresa?"

    "No...Lucinda?"

    "Nah...April?"

    "April...has a pretty ring to it...Yeah.I love it."

    "I can't believe how close we are to having the baby!" Phil squeals.
He gets off the couch and kneels to my belly. "Hey,April.I thought we had a deal.You were supposed to take it easy on daddy.I guess you can't help it though,so cramped in there."

    I lay on the couch and pull my jumper up.Phil rubs my belly,and April starts to kick.A few weeks ago, we noticed that if Phil or I press certain spots on my belly lightly,she kicks in those spots.

    Phil continued to rub my belly as we giggled.Phil placed a bow on my belly and took a picture of it.

    "'Can't wait for this present!Baby will be here soon!' How about that for a caption?" Phil asked me,taking the bow off my belly.

    "Double thumbs up from me!" I said sticking both thumbs up.Phil posts the picture,kneeling back down to my belly.He starts to trace little patterns with his fingers,while I trace my faint stretch marks.He gets up and walks to the tree.He helps me sit up and hands me a present.

    "Merry Christmas,bear."

    I open the small gift to see it's a locket of a lion that says 'lion cub' on it.I open it up to see one side is a picture of me and Phil,and the other side is out most recent ultrasound.I tear up and hug my fiancé.

    "This is beautiful,Phil." I say kiss him and get up to get his present from me.I give him a box that he opens at lightning speed.I got him a custom shirt that represents our family.It had a papa lion,a daddy bear,and a lion cub on it.

    "This...it's so cute!Thank you so much,honey!" He kisses me all over,then moving back down to my belly,kissing it. "You're ready to pop." He told me,rubbing the taut skin.

    "Trust me,I know.April will be here soon enough."

    "Just four more weeks."

    "Yeah,it's crazy to think I'm having our baby."

    "It is,but you're doing something I can only dream of doing."

    "I just want this to be over.I want to hold my baby girl."

    "Me too,bear.Hey,guess what?"

    "W-What?"

    "I love you."

    "Damn...I love you too."
