I waddled over to the kitchen. I was having a real hard time reaching for the plate that was on the second shelf there in the kitchen. I glance over at the step stool that was across the room. I groan. I was getting lazier by the minute.
And this baby was going to be here so soon. I was so huge. I felt it to. I hated being alone in the daytime. When Mike was off work then I was happiest. I loved spending time with him. He made me feel safer with him around. What would I do if I went into labor alone here? It worried me the more I thought about it. I was not at all prepared for this.
I should be. I was going to be a mother after all. Every night since the one dream I dreamt the baby was a girl. I had a strong feeling Michael and I were going to have a little girl. But I could be surprised. It might be natures way of throwing me off. I had yet to come up with a good name for our little one.
I did not want to be rushed to the hospital having the baby and the baby arrive with no name for the little one. Or Michael was going to be able to call our baby "Little Foxy" no way was I about to let that happen!
I grab the step stool. Then I climb on it. And get a plate. My bagel pops up on the toaster. I was craving bagels with cream cheese. They were my thing now. Or the little one's thing.
One of many. I was starting to eat weird things at weird hours of the day and night. Michael said that was natural. I spread cream cheese on my warm toasted bagel. Then begin to devour it. I grab my big book of baby names as I go over the names.
I loved the name Violet. Or Vikki Lynn. Something with a V sounded fancy for a girl. I knew a girl at my school whose name was Violet. She was so spoiled. I was jealous of her hair. Her clothing. All the girls wanted to be her friend. She was so nice to everyone. Even the geeks in school. I think that was why I loved that name to. It reminded me of her.

Someone walks in the house. I am startled. "Mike?"
"Hello babe!" he says to me. He trots over to my side. He pulls me in his arms. He kisses me.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I live here remember?" he jokes.
I shake my head. "No babe you are supposed to be at work" I laugh. "You know what I mean"
"Oh, I took time off. Until the baby gets here" he states to me.
"What?" I ask. "Will you get fired or replaced?"
"Who can replace me with another Alec?" he jokes.
I laugh. "True" I giggle.
"I am off for a month. I had time to take off anyway. They understand I want to be here. I do not like leaving you here alone. Understand?" he asks me.
