NOTE: I know very little about lawyers and I never really paid attention when they discussed pregnancy and childbirth in school so excuse the screw-ups. _____________ Chapter 13 WEEK LATER "God I've gained ten pounds in a month" Dawn complains as she and Spike return from her doctors appointment. "Heard what the doc said. Last trimester you'll gain the most weight." he watches as Dawn settles on the couch. "I know. Its just going to take forever to get the weight off" she sighs running her hands over her middle smiling as the baby now officially known as her daughter moves. "and she's going to be a chunk" Spike chuckles sitting beside her "Is your Dad staying here?" Dawn shakes her head "Jack's out of town so he said Dad could stay at his place. Oh Dad said we have to meet with the lawyers tomorrow evening" "Alright" Spike nods "tomorrow we'll work on the nursery luv" "Goody" Dawn says happily only to receive a jab in her ribs she winces "OK kiddo that hurt" Spike kneels before Dawn moving her shirt up he kisses her belly button causing Dawn to giggle. "Sweets calm down." he says softly "She just wants her Daddy's attention" Dawn says watching as Spike speaks to their daughter softly. "Pretty soon you'll be out and about wailin' an' kickin'. And your Mum and I will spoil you rotten" "You already spoil her Spike" Dawn remarks Spike smirks "My girl's not gonna miss out on anything" "She needs a name Spike" "How about Tabitha" he suggests "No. I'm not naming her after a character on Passions" Dawn replies "OK OK" he kisses her stomach one more time before sitting beside Dawn "What was your Mom's name?" Dawn asks "Uh I don't really remember" Spike replies sadly "You never talk about your family" Dawn remarks Spike winces "Not much to tell pet" "What happened to them?" "Killed 'em when I woke." "Oh" she looks at him thoughtfully "What was your family like?" "Normal" Spike replies "I guess" "Was your family close?" Spike shrugs "Pretty close." "Oh" "I don't want to talk about them" Spike says gruffly Dawn sighs kissing his cheek "Sorry" she rests her head on his shoulder "How about we go work on the baby's room" Spike suggests Dawn nods happily following Spike to the baby's bedroom/guestroom. "Spike you are spoiling her" she states seeing the bags strewn throughout the room. Spike shrugs sheepishly "Can't help it luv" Dawn giggles "I know" she kisses his cheek "Now lets get organized for tomorrow" "Sure." NEXT AFTERNOON Spike looks up to see Dawn walking out of their bedroom rubbing her eyes. "Have a good nap pet?" he asks removing his glasses Dawn nods sitting on his lap she nuzzles her face in the crook of his neck. "Yeah" she mumbles sleepily Spike smiles stroking her back "You OK?" "I feel gross" "No you aren't luv" "I feel like it" "Your adorable pet" he assures "you smell like life" he says running his hand over her middle. "I'm not liking being pregnant" she grumbles "Its not much longer pet" "I know" she lifts her head kissing him gently "thanks" "We have to meet your father at the lawyers office at seven" "What time is it?" Dawn asks "Four" "When does the sun go down?" "6. I told him we'd be there as soon as we could" "OK. I'm going to go take a bath" she kisses his cheek "Want company?" Dawn smiles "Of course. I wouldn't be able to get in or out of the tub without help" she stands Spike follows her into the bathroom turning on the water. * "Mmm" Dawn sighs "That feels good" she looks at Spike sitting on the other end of the tub massaging her feet. "Thanks" Spike smiles at her "Want you comfortable pet" he presses his lips to arch of her foot. "You need to relax pet. Maybe you shouldn't go tonight luv." "I have to go" she sighs "I don't want you to get all tense." Dawn sighs "I know" "Its not good for the baby" "I know." Spike moves over kissing her gently on the lips "I love you little bit" he says raising a wet hand he smoothes a strand of hair out of her face. "And our girl." Dawn smiles touching his cheek "I know. I love you too." she pulls his head down meeting his lips in a passionate kiss. "I should get out of the tub. I'm going to start getting wrinkly" she scrunches her nose. Spike chuckles "You'd still look cute." he stands helping Dawn out of the tub. He grabs a towel wrapping it around his waist before wrapping Dawn up in a large towel. "I wonder what's going to happen tonight" she sighs "I don't know. We'll just have to be prepared for whatever happens" "Spike promise me that you'll be good" Dawn pleads "Aren't I always" he smirks "Spike please." Seeing the wide eyed plea in her eyes Spike nods "I promise I'll be good Nibblet" "Thanks." she looks down patting her middle "And that goes for you too sweetie. If Daddy has to be good... so do you" she giggles when the baby elbows her. "I'll take that as a yes" "Of course my girl will be good" Spike smiles "Your girl is going to be a Daddy's girl" she states Spike grins "She loves her Daddy" "And she always will" Dawn assures |
