Beauty and Rage (Leverage Fan Fiction)

34. Babe, There's Something Tragic About You

Andy shifted around in the bed, pulling the blanket up over her body. Not even five minutes earlier, she had pushed the blankets off of herself and moved around some more. Andy huffed, realizing she wasn't comfortable in the position she had just put herself in. She started to move again, turning to lay on her side.

"Jesus Christ, woman! Go to sleep!" Eliot grumbled, shifting around in the bed before settling on his stomach with the blankets nearly covering his head.

"But I can't." Andy whined. She put her hand on his back and scooted closer to him. "Can you do me a favor?"

"Andy." Eliot groaned out. "What?"

"I really.... I'm just really feeling like donuts could help me go to sleep."

"We don't have donuts, Andy. It's four in the freaking morning. I can get you donuts tomorrow."

"But the baby wants donuts, Eliot."

Eliot mumbled some curse words before throwing the blanket off. Andy sat up and turned on the lamp by her bed. She chewed on her bottom lip as Eliot pulled on a shirt and searched for a pair of shoes.

"Hey, sugar?"

"What?" Eliot knew she wanted something else. The tone in her voice gave it away.

"Maybe.... Do you think you'd be able to pick up one of those big bags of hot cheetos? And maybe a thing of orange juice too?"

"We have orange juice, Andy." Eliot put on a hoodie and grabbed his wallet off of the stand by the bed.

"Yeah but it's gonna be all gone when I wake up in the morning cause I'm gonna go drink it all now." Andy carefully climbed out of bed and started to make her way towards the door to the bedroom. In the last few weeks, her stomach had grown considerably and she became more aware of the fact that she was pregnant.

"Where are you going?" Eliot followed behind her, smiling just slightly at the little waddle in her walk.

"To get some orange juice..... And maybe some peanut butter and that marshmallow fluff stuff."

"Oh no! Not that again." Eliot groaned. For the last week, the only thing Andy wanted to eat was a peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich with either hot cheetos or salt and vinegar chips inside. As Andy was standing on her tip toes to reach a glass, Eliot got out the orange juice.

Andy placed her glass on the counter in front of Eliot and watched him as he poured the rest of the container into the glass.

"Could you maybe get a bag of white cheddar popcorn too?"

"If you think of anything else, text me." Eliot started to head towards the door.

"You didn't give me a kiss!" Andy called to him. She climbed up on to a barstool and waited patiently for him to walk back to her and kiss her temple.

"You drive me insane, woman." He smiled softly, his hand briefly brushing over her belly. She wore one of his t-shirts and no pants. "Stay here until I get back."

"I didn't plan on leaving." Andy took a little sip of her orange juice. She didn't want to run out before Eliot got back.
