He Feels Your Baby Kick For The First Time:
ETHAN:
You were asleep in bed when you heard your husband Ethan giggling. The sound of his quiet laughter woke you up enough to see what was going on. He was asleep with your basketball sized stomach pressed against his bare back. "Why are you laughing?" You whisper, beginning to sit up. "No, no. Babe, don't move. Just wait for it." Ethan says, reaching his arm back to hold you still by your thigh. You were more than confused but stayed still to see what he was talking about. Just when you were falling back asleep you felt the small infant inside of you kick, and Ethans laughter erupts again. "He's been kicking my back for an hour," Ethan whispers, not moving a muscle. "Oh baby, I'm so sorry. Do you want me to turn around?" You ask, getting ready to reposition even though you were more than comfortable. "No, please just stay where you are. I like it." He whispers, stroking his thumb over your thigh. The words that left his lips made you smile, but the happy noises he made throughout the night whenever your unborn son would kick made you happiest. The first thing he did the next morning was wake Grayson up bright and early and tell his brother about what happened that night.
GRAYSON:
You were sitting on the couch folding laundry when Grayson came in with the next load from the dryer. Once you really started to show that you were pregnant Grayson started to help out a lot more with housework. Usually, he had his chores like taking out the trash, cleaning the pool, mowing the lawn, etc. and you had dishes, laundry, cooking, etc. But now he had not only done his chores but took up parts of yours. Like now, he would gather the laundry, you would start the washer and dryer after he loaded them, he'd unload them and you'd fold them and you'd both put them away. It was a nice system that you both enjoyed. "Was that the last load?" You ask grabbing a pair of socks and putting them together. He nodded happily and started helping you fold and put things on hangers. "Oh my gosh." You gasp, eyes widening, dropping the socks onto the floor. Your random outburst, of course, worried Grayson, quickly placing his hand on your back, letting all the clothes he once held fall to the floor. "Baby, are you okay? Do we need to go to the Doctor?" He asks rubbing your lower back and staring down at your belly. You laughed slightly at his expression and grabbed his free hand placing it on your swollen stomach. He furrowed his brows, but it wasn't long before his eyes were as big as yours. "Did- did the baby just kick?" He asks, eyes as big as saucers. You nodded happily, not being able to speak. He sat still, keeping his hand on your belly until the baby calmed down once again. Right after that, he was running down the hallway to Ethan's room to tell him before they both returned, excited for the next time it would happen.
