Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 218

　　I had been getting braxton hicks all day or so I thought as I watched Orion finish the mural on the wall in the nursery room. Orion had drawn a heap of Zoo animals on the wall next to the crib and was just painting the giraffe, Mara had already asked for him to draw her and olaf on her wall and he was going to start it when he was done in here.

　　My hips were killing from the extra weight as I tried to get comfortable on the exercise ball I was sitting on, Orion brought it home reckons it would help with lower back pain, but all I was feeling was pain and pressure, I swear the ball was making it worse as I rocked back and forth on it trying to distract myself from the braxton hicks.

　　“Want me to run you a bath?” He asks as he puts the paint brush down. I nod and he holds his hands out to me. “Come on big momma” He says and I glare at him.

　　“Call me that once more, I dare you” I tell him but take his hands, letting him pull me to my feet. He chuckles, pulling me closer and rubbing my lower back. “You're still beautiful, just rounder” He says and I smack his chest. He laughs but pulls me closer kissing my lips. “I love you” he whispers against my lips.

　　“I love you too” I tell him,before he turns me toward the door.

　　“Come, a bath might help” He says, steering me towards the stairs. I waddled out, Orion keeping his hand on my arm, Orion hated the stairs after I tripped down them, luckily Thaddeus was walking ahead of me so I only stumbled into the back of him before he grabbed me stopping me from rolling down the stairs. Ever since Orion won’t even let me take the stairs without one of them with me which I thought ridiculous, I may not be able to see my feet but the stairs have a bannister. He was a little paranoid. Halfway down the stairs though, I feel my thighs become drenched, my grey tights darkening as I look down.

　　“Ah Orion, I don’t think they are braxton hicks,” I tell him, stopping on the stairs.

　　“Are you sure you didn’t just wet yourself like last time?” I growled at him. I hated the reminder. It was so embarrassing.

　　“Let just get you to the bath first, your contractions have been irregular, if they are contractions” He says. Thaddeus walks into the entryway looking up at me. “She wet herself again?” He says and I growl at him.

　　“No, I didn’t, now stop mentioning it” I tell him, my face heating. They were never going to let me live it down, I am also never going into that shop again, more embarrassing when they called a clean up over the PA system. The baby shifted and I wet myself, yet I was convinced I was going into labour early. I shake the memory away and continue down the steps.

　　“Where is Mara?” Thaddeus asks, grabbing my other arm as I step off the last step.

　　“Having her nap, can you grab a mop and clean that up” Orion says and Thaddeus nods.

　　Orion runs me a bath and I sink my fat ass into it. I looked like a beachball, I was nearly as round as I was tall. The kid was going to be huge. Sitting in the bath though, the contraction only got worse, Orion placed his hand on my stomach and had been timing them.

　　“Your belly is like a rock” He mutters looking at his phone while I try to breathe through it.

　　Thaddeus was staring worriedly from where he was sitting on the sink basin. “Maybe call Ryland and get him home, I think she is in labour, she seems to be in a bit of pain, plus they are only two minutes apart now” Orion says. Thaddeus nods walking out of the room.

　　8 hours later

　　I wanted to kill them, I was in agony, while they kept offering advice like they were about to push a baby out their coochie. Amara was scrolling on her phone, “Talk about stubborn, hurry up and push that kid out already Evie, stop playing” I growl at her. All dignity went out the window around two hours ago and I no longer cared that I was stark naked on the bed in front of Amara and Imogen.

　　Theo and Tobias were downstairs with Emmet and some girl apparently but I didn’t pay attention as to why she was here. All I cared about was the pain that seemed to never end and only got worse. Hearing Amara crying and waking up, Orion looks to the bedroom door.

　　“She is fine, Theo is grabbing her” Imogen says and I hear footsteps before hearing Amara’s door open. “There's poppy’s girl” I vaguely heard him say when I suddenly got the urge to push. I groaned, pushing as this overwhelming urge to go to the toilet rushed over me, making my entire tense as I pushed. I let out a breath and saw Thaddeus push off the wall where he was leaning, he smacks Ryland’s chest from where he was dozing in the armchair next to the bed while Orion was between my legs. Thaddeus sits on one side while a half asleep Ryland walks to the other side when I suddenly get the urge again, my body pushing even though I wasn’t trying to.

　　“Hold her legs,” Orion says while I push.

　　“Oh baby time” Amara says, jumping up and walking behind Orion. I let out my breath and nearly snort when Amara speaks.

　　“I am not doing that, you want grandkids from me, they are coming from Mia” Amara says looking at Imogen. Imogen chuckles when I suddenly need to push again.
