[In the future]
“Poor Stella. She always hates it when the kids have to go back to school.”
[ Ulric and Gail? XD ]
coming up with a creative way to tell Person A/B’s/Both’s parents that they are going to be 1st time Grandparents.
He chuckled a little at that, and got back to his feet. “She’ll just have to be patient, then.” He rubbed his wife’s stomach soothingly, knowing the aches and kicks weren’t easy on her.
Standing up on her tip-toes, she kissed his chin and smiled. “As will we. But least she’s healthy and happy. Let’s keep working on the room together before we eat something. She’s making me build up quite an appetite.”
“Mm, fine with me.” He stroked her cheek softly, and gave her a quick, sweet kiss. He loved the child who was soon to be born, but he also loved the woman who carried her, and wanted to be sure she knew it. “Come on, let’s go see if the canvas is dry."
And, taking her hand, he escorted her back to the studio.
He nodded, feeling the sting of happy tears in his eyes. Without really thinking about what he was doing, he leaned in and pressed his forehead against her belly, and hummed softly in the back of his throat.
Not wishing to interrupt them, Katelynn stood as still as possible and merely let father and child bond. It was much in the same way she wished to do with the baby once she was born – have skin to skin contact that her books told her was important for forming a bond.
Another bump shot out against her stomach to lightly tap against Jack’s forehead, causing another groan from the woman. “I think she’s trying to reach out for you, daddy.”
He chuckled a little at that, and got back to his feet. “She’ll just have to be patient, then.” He rubbed his wife’s stomach soothingly, knowing the aches and kicks weren’t easy on her.
The blue man swallowed a gasp. “W-wow, she really does like the sound of my voice!” He rubbed his hand over the spot, and pressed a soft kiss to Katelynn’s belly. “I know, little one. I’m impatient to see you too.”
There was another little bump in response and Katelynn’s lashes grew moist in response at exchange between father and daughter. It was so touching to watch and even more so to feel, as if their daughter’s feelings were palpable.
“She loves you..so much..” she squeaked, putting a hand up to cover her mouth.
He nodded, feeling the sting of happy tears in his eyes. Without really thinking about what he was doing, he leaned in and pressed his forehead against her belly, and hummed softly in the back of his throat.
Curious, Jack did as he was told. He knelt down in front of Katelynn, and pressed his ear to her belly, his hand beside it. “Er … hello, little one. How are you doing in there?”
There was a definite rise in motion for a moment, almost the way a fish in a tank would sound if it rushed in the water. After a few moments a little bump appeared right under his hand, causing Katelynn to let out a whoosh of air from the sensation.
The blue man swallowed a gasp. “W-wow, she really does like the sound of my voice!” He rubbed his hand over the spot, and pressed a soft kiss to Katelynn’s belly. “I know, little one. I’m impatient to see you too."
Jack’s eyes widened. He’d noticed how active the baby was (and secretly hoped it meant she’d be stronger and braver than her father), but he’d never noticed that it was because of him. “Really?” He pressed a hand over Katelynn’s belly now, pushing her shirt up a little, feeling the taut curve and the smoothness of her skin.
“Yes,” she giggled softly. She helped him by holding the material up so her entire belly was accessible, looking down at his reaction. “She was napping earlier but as soon as she heard you she’s been an active little thing and hasn’t calmed down. Talk to her, love. Press your ear right here and you can hear her…”
She pointed to the lower left of her belly where the little one was currently settled.
Curious, Jack did as he was told. He knelt down in front of Katelynn, and pressed his ear to her belly, his hand beside it. “Er … hello, little one. How are you doing in there?"
