Mable

I can order my own food!

Devin

But I want to. Please. My alpha is already going out of his mind being so far away from you. The least I can do is provide you and the baby with some food.

Well, when he put it like that.

Mable

Instincts are a bitch, aren’t they?

Devin

We’ll be home soon, I promise.

Jasper

She should come with us to games! Especially when the season starts. I don’t want to be apart from her for days, it’s not fair.

Percy

Dude, she’s pregnant. Flying is a no-no late in pregnancy, and I’m sure once the baby is born, she’s going to need time to rest and recover, not follow us around the country.

Percy

Sorry, Mable, I don’t want to speak for you.

Mable

No, you’re right. Ugh. This sucks. Even when I’ve recovered, I can’t imagine traveling alone with a young baby. You’ll be working and it’ll be a lot.

Saint

What about if we hired you to help with game trips? A babysitter for during the game and to ensure you get enough sleep.

I ran that idea through my head. I didn’t hate it. Sure, the idea of traveling with a newborn, even with help, seemed daunting, but if it meant I got to spend more time with them, then maybe it would be worth it.

Mable

I’m not saying no to that idea. We can look at that in the future, but for now, I’m a sitting duck.

Jasper

But the cutest sitting duck that ever did sit!

By the time they went to pre-game practice, I had a raging headache. The pressure on either side of my temples was all-consuming, and I couldn’t focus on anything longer than a few minutes.

“Trust me to stress myself out so much I get a headache,” I muttered to no one in particular as I crawled back into my nest for a bit more sleep before my lunch got delivered.

Devin better have got me an Alfredo, or I was going to riot.

Pregnancy cravings were no joke.
