{yeah,little time skip because i don't want it to be too slow. Enjoy!}

Lucky's face distorted in pain as one hand was underneath her pillow and the other was clutched onto her six-months-pregnant stomach,wich was contorting in pain at the moment. It had been for the past day and she had just stayed in bed,unable to move from the terrible cramps she was getting. Doctor Merrywheater said these were called Braxton Hicks and were small contractions that could show up as the pregnancy went by,and Lucky could tell that they weren't just silly contractions at all. She had almost tought she's go into labor. But she was just six months along...She couldn't go into labor now.
Luckily,that didn't happen. The baby kept moving around,but the pain ceased slowly and she was able to sit up "hey you,behave in there..." She scolded,She was wearing one of Javier's shirts because she had gotten bored of those ugly maternity dresses...She liked wearing pants and her husband's green shirt. She leaned her head back onto her pillows as she read the letter Emma Popham had sent her a week ago
Dear Lucky,
I honestly can't tell how excited i am for you being pregnant! It seems yesterday to me that we were kids playing around and making messes at Madame Barrow's school. She altrough often asks me how are you doing,since i've told her you're expecting. She was unexpectedly happy about this and sends you her regards along with some suggestion for the baby's name : Ofelia and Oratius. I know those are absolutely terrible names,but you know Madame Barrow...Your granparents say hello,and they really hope you and the baby are healthy. They also hope we can come visit you and then the baby once it's born!
Love,Emma
Lucky had read the letter a million times,and would smile at it softly each time. She really hoped she could see Emma and her grandparents,but travelling in her contidion was unsafe and tiring. She rubbed circles onto her stomach, wich barely fit any shirt she had left. "Please,be born soon..." She murmured softly at her unborn child,but smiling softly. She couldn't wait to hold her little bundle of joy in her arms,cuddle it,nurse it and kiss its tiny little puffy cheeks. It would have her hair color but its dad's smile and eyes...they would teach him spanish,riding and charreada...It would all be perfect...so perfect to add a second child to the family.
The baby kicked hard,as if to tell its mother to wait until it was born before thinking of a baby brother. She could basically see her child saying "you don't even know if i'm a boy or a girl yet,mom!" And she rubbed her belly "you're right little one." She said "i just love feeling you moving around...and i feel like you're a really good listener. Not that your daddy Isn't, it's just he's so tired sometimes and i just want to let him sleep and rest. He needs it too..." She grimaced at the child kicking her right trough the stomach "ouch!" She said,giggling "Hey,Watch it in there! As i was saying,you're growing in me,so it's normal you can listen to me." She rubbed the sides of her belly,and the baby settled down "now,that's better... Isn't it?" She asked "your great-aunt Cora told me this would calm you down as food does. You're eating what i'm eating,so careful not to ask too much junk food." Lucky let her head fall back and closed her eyes ; She had barely slept last night and wanted to fool herself into sleeping so she'd actually get some rest. "She's strict,but you'll get used to her. Your step-grandma Kate is a little bit bossy too...but both her and Cora are really amazing women." She giggled "i remember the time i helped Kate giving birth to your aunt Polly and when i helped your aunts in helping a mare giving birth to governor...he's so big now,but he was so small when he was born."
She was sure her child was listening,perhaps her voice had soothed it and now it was sleeping "oh,you kept me awake the whole night and you're sleeping only now?" She said sarcarstically,huffing a little "you're lucky i love you." The woman said,pulling the blankets up to her chest and closing her eyes to get some sleep.
