(I apologize for the late update. I was going to try and update more frequently, but we just put my dog down and I couldn't function afterward. I'm doing better now so let's get this show on the road!
P.S. There is a small trigger warning for a flashback of SA decently early in this chapter. I'll underline it so you know where it is. )
Paityn, now 23 weeks, with a noticeable baby bump finally formed, had begun attracting unwanted attention at work. News, unfriendly people, and most importantly, Sean had begun to get more concerned.
Paityn lay on their shared bed at home, Sean's arms were wrapped around her belly as if shielding it. She couldn't sleep. The baby had begun kicking, and of course, was nocturnal. They weren't doing it now but she knew better. The moment she would close her eyes, they would start kicking. Not only that, but Sean's arm under her side wasn't the most comfortable. She wouldn't admit that though, because she knew it made him comfortable.
"Can't sleep?" He asked suddenly, causing her to jump.
"How'd you know? And how long have you been up?" Paityn asked. Sean moved his arms out from under her and took a breath.
"I've been with you long enough to know you toss and turn in your sleep. The baby kicking again?" He asked. She shook her head.
"No. Not yet, but it's like, as soon as I close my eyes they start kicking. Like it knows I'm trying to sleep. It has to know I need sleep in order for them to keep growing." Paityn ranted causing Sean to kiss her head.
"I'll go make some Chamomille tea for you." Sean started to lean up and Paityn followed. She sat on one of the stools by the island in the middle of his kitchen and watched him pour the boiling water over tea leaves. "It's bad for the baby to have too much of this so don't drink it too fast," Sean said, handing her a small teacup of tea. She hummed in appreciation and sipped a little, feeling the warmth spread throughout her body.
As if on cue, the baby started kicking. "You little..."Paityn started followed by Sean laughing.
"They like the tea I guess." Sean kissed her head walking around his condo.
"Or they hate it." Paityn stood up, holding the cup of tea in her hands. Sean gave her a small smile and shook his head.
"I'd like to pretend I make decent tea. It's kinda a Zauberbiest job." Sean said. Paityn scoffed and then laughed, sitting down on the couch while he stared out the window.
"You know, we do still have to buy all the baby room stuff. We don't even have a crib yet and we're over halfway." Paityn looked down at her stomach, her heart fluttering. She wouldn't admit it out loud, but she was terrified. Her aunt died before she could ask any type of questions and so she had no idea if a Grimm birth was going to be any different from a regular Wesen or Human. To top it off, the baby was a huge mix. Not only was it going to be part Grimm, but it was also going to be Human and either Hexen or Zauberbiest.
Thankfully, before her mind could delve too deep into fears, the chamomile tea worked its magic and she started becoming drowsy. Sean watched her lay down on the couch after taking the final sip and passing out. She needed the sleep desperately. Did he use a small spell on the tea to help her sleep? Absolutely. He went and grabbed the softest blanket he could find and a pillow for her so she didn't have to move. When she was all tucked in, Sean kissed her cheek and went into the bedroom to sleep the rest of the night away.

At the crime scene the next day, Paityn winced at the body lying on the floor surrounded by glass. If she didn't know any better, she'd of thought it was a suicide.
