Sinful Mates 1-3

　　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.
