Surprises

Eight Months

Mitch and Harmony were at Kirstin's house, Mitch helping with Nala and Noah.

Noah was more of a momma's boy, and didn't like leaving her, so Mitch got to play with Nala and he sat on the floor as he cradled her.

"Princess, come here." Mitch called to a busy Harmony, who was hitting her doll against the floor. "Hey, evil baby of mine. Harmony!" Mitch said loudly and Harmony looked at Mitch and got up to go to him. "Isn't Nala cute? It's a cute baby, right?" She nodded her head and Mitch smiled.

"Good girl. Are you ready for mommy's second baby?" She nodded her head again and Mitch kissed her cheek.

"You're amazing, Mitch."

"Thanks KitKat."

Mitch was back home and Scott forced him to be very calm and just stay in bed through most of the day.

"Scott I want to fucking do shit-"

"You're eight months pregnant! You need to rest before you have not one, but two fucking children. Young children!"

"You're not my fucking boss last time I checked!" Mitch raised his voice and Scott just got more pissed.

"You're right, I'm your fucking lover! I worry and care about you a lot. I worry about this baby a lot! You're not normal. This pregnancy isn't normal!"

"What the fuck are you saying, Scott?" Mitch gritted.

"Im saying that this is special! That I don't want this to be fucked up! I don't want anything to happen to you babe! What the fuck do you think I'm saying. Please, I'm asking you to fucking relax! Right now, this isn't helping! Please, just relax." Scott calmed himself down and Mitch had tears in his eyes and so did Scott. Scott walked up and hugged Mitch and Mitch hugged Scott.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you, and stressing you out."

"I'm sorry for arguing with you. I love you so much."

"I love you and my second baby girl so so much. Can I get a kiss?" Scott said, and Mitch nodded his head. They shared a sweet kiss as they each let their tears shed.

Mitch laid down and Scott was meant to go shopping but he just climbed in bed with Mitch.

"I thought you had errands to run." Mitch said softly.

"I'll go when you fall asleep. I just want to hold you, right now." Scott's hand was rubbing Mitch's big belly, both of them feeling Piper's light kicks.

"Such a jumpy baby girl." Mitch said lightly, closing his eyes. "Go to the store. Momma wants to nap."

"Ok, baby. I love you so much."

"Love you." Mitch said before he felt asleep.

Scott was looking at all his ring choices and just groaned.

"So I see you're looking at our engagement rings, I'm guessing it's for the misses?" The man said from behind the counter and Scott blushed.

"More like mister..." Scott said.

"Well we have more masculine, simple rings over here-"

"He wouldn't like that. He's pretty feminine. Plus he can get pregnant so he's basically like my wife... But my husband." Scott's face was bright red but the man just smiled and helped him out.

By the time Scott was Finished he did find the perfect ring, but pouted a bit after he brought it.

"What's wrong, sir?" The man that was helping him asked.

"Nothing really. It's such a beautiful ring and I know he is going to love it, but he's a bit of a diva. His promise ring was 18 karats and this was 14." Scott admitted and the man looked shocked.

"I think that if he loves you to the moon and back, that wouldn't matter so much." The man said, trying to comfort Scott.

"You're right. I mean he is pregnant as we speak." Scott smirked and the man giggled and they departed.

Scott was going to marry Mitch in a month, when he has their second baby.

When Scott got home, Mitch was sitting up in bed, whining and holding his stomach. Scott panicked and his the ring in his jacket pocket and ran to him. Scott leaned down and was at Mitch's side, holding his hand.

"What's wrong, baby? Are you okay?!" Scott said trying to soothe Mitch.

"Contraction." Mitch whined and Scott rubbed Mitch's stomach and kissed the top of his head multiple times before it went away. When it went away, Scott kissed Mitch and his belly, Mitch already tired out again. "I can't wait to have this damn baby."

"I know, buttercup." Scott kissed him again and went into the couple's closet. He hid the ring in Mitch's least favorite jacket of his, knowing he wouldn't touch, wear, or think of it for shit.

************

As the days went by, Mitch noticed that the contractions hit him more and more. It was the night after his birthday, the very first hours of July 25, when he just couldn't sleep.

He tried getting up because he felt like he had to use the bathroom, he walked into the bathroom and barely made it to the bathroom when his body sort of gave out on him, and he at first thought he peed on the floor. When he realized that it wasn't piss, and a contraction was hitting him, he finally realized that his water broke.
