Maggie's gaze dropped down to the sticker on her arm, then up to Adrian with a smile. All right, all right, it was a fun time, even if she couldn't move much and had to push the table away so that she could properly slouch without her stomach getting caught under the table. Adrian was in a good mood, and he deserved a night out after how miserable she'd been with him. He had the patience of a saint, and she hoped their daughter inherited his temperament and not hers.
"That's all right," she said, not wanting to share Adrian's attention with anyone. Even after her initial annoyance at his public reveal of their marriage, Maggie was finding that she enjoyed being asked about married life and all that came with it. It was a decision they had made on their own, not pressured into because of anything (like this bump of hers); it had just been a beautiful day on the beach and they'd wanted to make the best of it. Josef now had a complete family and her little boy was happier than ever. Really, she should not be able to find a reason to complain about anything in her life.
Of course, she did, but it was mostly pregnancy-related frustrations.
She shifted to sit up a bit, pulling her feet off the chair because the ache in her back had decided to throb. Maggie had been feeling like this since this morning, which had helped her decline again and again the invitation to come to this party, but had decided to ignore it. Now it seemed like sitting too long had caused her back to hurt even more. Maybe she should get up and move around, but dancing seemed like a bit too much. Maggie put her hand on Adrian's leg to push herself up, and just that slight shift caused her to let out a groan.
"Whoa," she said, her other hand shooting to her stomach. That was an all too familiar feeling that she certainly did not want to be feeling in the middle of a club with hundreds of people around them. "I think we need to go," she said quickly.
