October 16th
It's been three hours since I started cleaning and I'm still not sure everything is done. I decide to take a break and practically fall onto the sofa; too exhausted to even think about taking a shower. A few seconds of comfort is all it takes before I start to doze off but, it doesn't last long. Parker comes bounding through the front door carrying boxes of Quincy's subs. Dylan follows him in carrying more subs and Lex is right behind him. I notice how happy they look together, and it makes my heart smile.
"Hey babe, you look rough. Shouldn't you be getting ready?"
I give him a dirty look and walk to the bedroom. Lex follows me into the room and helps me pick out an outfit for the baby shower.
"What about this?" She says, holding up a blue maternity top.
"Ugh, no way, it makes me look fat."
"Um, you do realize you're pregnant."
"Yea but it doesn't make me look pregnant, it just makes me look fat. I smell like a sweat shop, I'm taking a shower."

I can feel myself relax as the warm water soothes my sore muscles. Today is going to be so busy, I just hope that Lex will enjoy herself and not worry too much. She was so upset when she realized that most of the guests were my friends. I tried to reassure her that everyone coming would be here for the both of us. It took a few weeks to convince her and it was stressful on me because I did most of the planning. Now I'm starting to feel anxious, I'm worried that I haven't done everything. I start to run through a checklist in my head of everything I've already accomplished, and everything checks out; so why am I so stressed out then? Taking in a few deep breaths, I try to clear my mind and not worry but, nothing seems to be working. I only know one way to relax but, I'm not sure I have enough time; guests will be here soon. Throwing caution to the wind, I imagine Parker is in the shower with me, his hands are grasping my ass; his mouth is hot and wet. Slowly I begin to stroke my clit; pretending it's him. I lean my back against the shower wall and lose myself in the moment. I can feel the intensity of my orgasm grow; a wave of pleasure radiates through me and I begin to moan loudly.
"Leanne are you alright?"
It's Parker, and I can only imagine what's going through his head. I had to think quickly, because I didn't want him to know what I was doing.
"Uh, yea... I um; the baby kicked, and it startled me, sorry."
"Shit really?"
Opening the curtain, he wraps me in the towel and places his hand on my belly. I look into his eyes and can see how excited he is. I feel bad for lying to him but, I know how upset he would be if he knew I didn't invite him to join me. Then out of nowhere, the baby kicks; hard. Parker's eyes lite up, he's smiling from ear to ear.
"Holy shit, he kicked."
I smile back and place my hand over Parker's. We stand there for a few more minutes, watching and waiting when the baby decides to turn. We can see it's elbow or knee roll; stretching out the skin on my belly. Parker kisses me and before he walks out, he looks at me and smiles.
"By the way, your friends are here." He says, winking at me before he walks out.
Shit. He knows.

The shower was a success, and we were both happy to have been gifted with almost everything we registered for. At the end of the evening, after everyone left. Lex and I sat at the kitchen table and watched as Parker and Dylan stuffed their faces with leftover subs. When they were finished, they chased it all down with a strong Germen beer that Parker bought just for the two of them. We talked about the upcoming months and ways that we could spend more time with each other.
"We should sign up for Gymboree or mommy and me classes. My friend Miranda said that the waiting list for those classes can be a year or longer." Leanne exclaimed.
"Yea, that sounds great but, I'm not sure if we'll be able to afford it. Dylan is going to be working with his dad this winter and I still don't have a job."
"We'll work something out, don't worry about the cost."
"Hey money bags, I'll be working with Dylan and his dad this winter to so we're not going to have a lot of extra cash, especially when the baby comes."
"You know I have a good job and I'll be getting paid for three months paternity leave."
"Yea, and what happens after that? Do you really think you're going to have extra time to take the baby to social play groups?"
"I'll make time."
Aggravated, I look over at Lex and roll my eyes. I know that Parker has a point but, dammit I'm not going to let myself go and just give up. I don't care how exhausted I am, I want our children to bond and socialize with other kids.
"Lex have you and Dylan come up with any names for the baby yet?"
"Um... yea, kind of."
I notice her glance at Dylan and I start to feel like she's holding back on me. Lex used to tell me everything and though I am happy that her and Dylan are together, that doesn't mean that she can just blow me off.
"What? What's wrong? I ask.
"We're having twins."
