Gentle Rains Ch. 10

Now that Ororo was in her eighth month her pregnancy seemed to pass without much of a hitch other than the constant false labor pains she had been experiencing and her the sudden tiredness. Even with getting a nap or two in during the day she still felt tired. She had also noticed that her son had begun having a field day inside her belly. Probably getting in a few last few weeks of kicking in before he decided to come into the world. All in all Ororo wasn't to much like her normal happy self. Just a tad grouchy from not getting much sleep and wishing her son would hurry and come. 1

A light moaned escaped her lips as she rubbed her stomach walking around the living room getting some last minute sweeping done. She winced some feeling another sharp kick and pressed her hand against her stomach. A quick shh followed after as she rubbed her stomach. Judging by the movements of her baby Ororo guessed her son would be coming a bit early. Hopefully not to early. That was the last thing she wanted was for her soon to be born a month early. Though Hank said it was perfectly normal for her to deliver at thirty-eight weeks she wanted to carry her baby to the full forty weeks. But Hank made it quite clear that she wasn't really in charge of such a thing now, and that it was up to the little boy just now settling down inside her womb.2

"Thank the goddess." She said relieved that her son had stopped kicking her as she sat down slowly to rest for a while.3

"You alright Sugah?" A worried Rouge asked leaning down to touch Ororo's stomach. 4

"Don't touch me...I just got him to settle down." Ororo said grabbing a hold of her hand. 5

"Heh, its buggin ya that much huh?" She asked.6

"You go find a man and get pregnant and tell me how it feels nine from now. Its a pain the neck...I can barely get any sleep and if I do, its only four or five hours, before he starts kicking me again , if he isn't kicking me I'm getting these damned false labor pains. On top of that, my stomach seems not agree with a lot of what I eat." She said frustrated and began to cry. 7

"Awww Ro." Rouge said hugging her close letting Ororo cry on her shoulder while she comforted her. 8

"I'm just glad Ali let Remy have time off from the bar that way he could be with me." She said.9

"Yeah, your gonna need him when its time for Jr. here to come out." She said and gave Ororo's stomach a light pat. "Have you thought of a name for him yet?" She asked rubbing Ororo's back trying to get her to calm down. 10

"Rem." She said softly.11

"Rem huh....nice name. Bet he'll look like his daddy." She said hearing Ororo wince. "You alright?"12

"Mmm mm." She said shaking her head. 13

"Here lean up." Rouge said as Remy came down a while later. 14

"Remy." Ororo said moaning a bit as the Cajun walked over and kissed her softly.15

"You alright?" He asked putting his forehead to hers. He frowned some at how warm she felt and pushed her hair back a bit. 16

"Come on let's get you upstairs." He said picking her up gently and taking her up to her loft walked inside and set her down as Ororo left his side going into her bathroom coughing before she threw up her lunch from earlier. 17

Remy frowned some standing outside a while and walked inside knealing down rubbing her back while his wife continued to empty her stomach. Rouge came up worried about her best friend and frowned some seeing her hunched over the toilet. 18

"She gonna be alright?" She asked.19

Remy never answered her just continued to rub his wife's back and frowned feeling her stomach nearly wincing himself at the strong lurch her stomach had given.20

"Go get Hank Rouge." He said hearing Ororo moan as he rubbed her stomach to comfort her. 21

"Don't you'll wake him." Ororo managed to say between breaths as she flushed the toilet and leaned against Remy,a few locks of her hair falling over her shoulder as she closed her eyes breathing. 22

"Rouge went to get hank, we'll find out what's makin ya sick Stormy." He said as Ororo nodded holding her stomach.
