He groaned. "That means one of us is going to be a night creature for a couple of months. If he's that energetic in there at night, what about when he arrives?" He scooted closer, sharing warmth with the man, his own hand touching a swollen stomach.
"You know I.....I get excited sometimes. Like when I was buying things for the nursery....I wanted you to be there, but I wanted to surprise you..."

He shifted his hand and placed it over the incubus'. "Thanks. It was so much more than I could ever hope for...and...and thanks...for being with me..." His cheeks turned a light shade of pink before he yawned again, snuggling into the mattress. "Hm...."

Xemas smiled, even though in the darkness, no one could see. "You don't ever need to thank me for that, it's my pleasure." He kissed his forehead and moved hsi hand, wrapping his arm around the man instead.
"Goodnight Ssitris." Now all they had to worry about was making sure they could get access to a medi-box at the hospital. The incubus closed his eyes. Tomorrow....he'd worry about that tomorrow after work...

Ssitris' eyes fluttered open and he shivered. It was hot out probably, but still...he was freezing. And he really had to go to the bathroom. Suprisingly, it wasn't because the baby had kicked him.
Slowly he untangled himself from Xemas' hold and shifted uneasily out of bed. At least the bed was high enough it was almost undifficult to get up. He waddled quietly out of the room, holding his lower back. In the bathroom, he sighed. "I really can't wait for you to come out...I'll be amazed if I don't have back problems..." he complained groggily.
When he was finished, and washing his hands, he furrowed his brow. He had told Xemas the babe was active when he tried to sleep, but the truth was, he had been very mild lately. And not once had he been woken up from a particularly hard jab, especially tonight.
He shrugged it off. He'd ask M'lon tomorrow. After all, his brother had kept close tabs on him, and if anything was wrong, M'lon would have seen it coming. He dried off his hands, and yawning, moved to turb out the lights and open the door.
However, the second he touched the door knob, he half keeled over in pain. His teeth clenched, and he told himself over and over, this was usual for the last month or so...M'lon had said so...

Xemas shifted, groaning and turning onto his back, an arm slung over his eyes. Somewhere in the back of his mind, in amongst all the grogginess, he could hear him in the bathroom. The tap was running and Xemas wondered if he needed help getting back to bed....
Well, he'd go if he were called. Often times, Ssitris got embarassed from all the help, or he got moody. Xemas didn't want to cause either. He exhaled, eyelids fluttering shut, waiting...He wasn't about to go back to sleep without the man tucked in his arms.

He panted and swallowed heavily as the pain subsided into a bearable throb. He straightened himself out as much as someone 4.5 months along could, and finally got the door open, turning off the light and beginning the long trek down the hall.
He stumbled halfway from the pain again, but this time bit his teeth against it, and kepts going until he reached the bedroom and it stopped again. Pushing the door open, he nearly fell into bed.

"Mmm..." Xemas rolled and pulled him close again, instantly sensing somethng by the way Ssitris' shoulders shook ever so slightly. He'd also gotten pretty good at ready the waves on the air from being and incubus-it came in handy for sensing sexual energy-and pain was nothing new to him.
"What's wrong baby," he asked, openign his eyes and rubbing at them.

"N---nothing..." he mumbled. "Don't worry about it." He tried to wave it off and snuggle back in the covers, taking a deep breath to relax.

"Whatever you say," he murmured and squeezed him gently, dropping his head back to the pillow. Xemas tangled their legs together, arm droppin gover his waist as he snuggled back in to sleep.

He closed his own eyes and tried to get back to sleep, but was once again plagued by the same, gut-wrenching pain. He bit the inside of his cheek, and clenched his fists in the sheets to keep his mind off it. Besides, he didn't want to disturb Xemas...he'd already gone out of his way so much lately.

Xemas felt the clench of fists against his chest, the tensing of shoulders. Ssitris' body shook and he lifted his head again.
"It's not 'nothing'. Ssitris, what's going on? Are you alright...? You didn't fall did you?"

"N...no..." he ground out, close to tears as it ebbed away, only to suddenly be replaced by another, even stronger pain. He gasped and curled in on himself. "I---it hurts!!!"

"Jeskara," Xemas jumped up and flicked on the light, hovering, stroking hsi face. "Where's it hurt, your stomach, here?" He pressed a hand over the mound where the baby resided. "Hold on....it's alright, here, squeeze my hand." He slipped his hand into Ssitris' and grabbed up his watch.
Quickly, the incubus dialed Ryle, biting his lip, panicking. He was four and a half months....there was no way....r..right??? 'hurry up...hurry up!'

He nearly screamed as he clenched Xemas' hand as hard as he could. He couldn't even think about anything but the pain. Anything save for hoping his baby was alright.

Ryle rubbed his eyes and picked up the watch, yawning as he answered. He'd just pulled a long shift, and whoever it was it had better be importnant... "Hmmm...what...?" he mumbled, eyes half open.

Xemas would've screamed at the pain in his hand, right along with Ssitris, if Ryle hadn't answered. "Thank Jesk," he gasped, squeezing back gently, trying to alleviate the pain.
"Ryle! Ssitris is in pain, lots of it. It's coming in intervals i think, what should I do?!?! He couldn't possibly be in labor yet, and I don't want to force him to run to the hospital. It's so far, and I don't know if we'll make it on foot." He sounded...calm, even if his face was sheet white and he was panicking on the inside.
