"Ugh Brad, this pregnancy is absolutely draining me. I can't wait until he's finally here and I can stop feeling like a whale" Jen says as she tries to get comfortable in bed

"You are far from a whale babe. You're probably just feeling like this because he has had major growth spurt over the last few weeks but don't worry, he will be here soon and we'll be able to meet our handsome Prince" Brad says as he rubs Jens stomach

"I think someone likes you rubbing my stomach" Jen comments on the fact that River has started kicking so much

"Brad, I can't believe he's already 7lbs 8oz and I still have two weeks to go. He's going to be huge if I go over my due date. I'm only used to pushing out small babies. The girls were only 6lbs each... god my vagina is going to be ruined forever" Brad laughs and gets a death stare from Jen and he knows to shut up

"I'm sorry baby but you know I'll always love your vagina no matter what" He tries to joke with her and he's successful in getting a small smirk out of her

Jen lays on her back and Brad tries to cuddle her but she pushes him away saying that she needs the room and that's she's boiling so Brad goes and puts the fan on at the end of their bed. Jen places her pregnancy pillow in between her legs and rolls over onto her left hand side so she's facing Brad. She can never normally sleep on her left side but since it's better for the baby if she does, that's what she's been doing for a few weeks now.

*1am*

Cries are echoing though the baby monitor. The girls are having a hard time sleeping lately and they keep waking up crying during the night. Jen seems to think that they are becoming more aware that their family is going to be changing soon and it'll just take them a little while to adjust to it.

"No I'll go and see them baby, you just go back to sleep" Brad says as Jen goes to get out of bed to get the girls

"Thank you babe. If they don't stop crying then just bring them in here for the rest of the night, at least they'll sleep better if they are with us" Jen says as she rests her head back on the pillow as Brad leaves the room

"What's the matter princess?" Brad asks Pollyanna taking her out of her crib

"Scare dada. Me wat you dada"

Brad sits down in the rocking chair and holds her close to his chest and she starts playing with his chest hair. Luckily Ophelia is still sleeping so he only had to deal with one baby at the moment.

"You feeling better baby?" He asks her giving her a little kiss as she continues to play with the hair on his chest

"Me sweep wif you and mama. Me wat mama dada" She looks at him with puppy dog eyes as she already knows that he can't resist them

"Mama's sleeping baby. She's so tired. Can you be a big girl and go back to sleep in your crib?"

"No dada, me wat you and mama bed" She starts to get upset again so Brad gives in and walks back to his room with Pollyanna in hand

"You need to be quite though because mama's still sleeping"

"Mama feew bad?"

"No baby, mama's just tired that's all. River is making mama tired"

"Me give mama cuggw to make her feew bettw"

"Okay you can cuddle up to mama as long as you go back to sleep"

"Me sweep dada"

(Brad's P.O.V)

I climb in bed and without Jen even batting an eyelid, she reaches her arm over and brings Pollyanna close to her. She must have great mother intuition to know that her baby is in bed with us without actually seeing or feeling her.
