"Extra cheese and anchovies," Cait said. "Extra anchovies." She squeezed his hand. "I love you."
I love you too. he answers, before telekinesing his cel phone to his hand, dialing the pizza place to get her a couple pizzas, and a small one for himself.
"You're the best," she said when he was done calling. "I'm going to get in the shower while you go get the pizza." Cait's skin was feeling a little tight and she needed to rehydrate.
Do you want to do that, or do you want me to turn up the humidity in the anti-grav sphere so you can keep resting?
"I want to feel water on me," Cait said as she tried to maneuver to get off the bed. There had been arguments with her parents about being in Atlantis and having the baby born there, but Cait had manage to reach a compromise. The baby would be born in Atlantis, but until she went into labor she got to remain on the surface.
Alright. he agrees, shifting the yellow structure to have more handholds and bars to pull herself up on and help her move.
"Mom never told me about this part of pregnancy," Cati crumbled as she managed to get her legs over the side of the bed. Using the yellow construct she pulled herself to her feet. She started to waddle over to the bathroom.
He places the order, while shifting the construct to help her, bit by bit - the floor develops a moving walkway enough in front of her she can see it.
Cait was grateful for the assist. She'd be grateful when this kid was born and she had her body back. She hated feeling like a beached whale.
"I won't be long," she said she entered the bathroom.
Take as long as you need, love. I'll see about increasing the humidity in here anyway. See if we can help you get comfortable. Or more comfortable, anyway.
"I'll be comfortable when this is over and I can hold our child in my arms," she said.
Well, yes. But until then, we can at least try and limit the misery a little. Because helping out both eased her stress, and gave him something else to focus on.
"Which is why I love you," Cait said before disappearing into the bathroom.
Ty spends the time, as he has a number of times the past few months, using the ring and a bit of magic to reconfigure the room to increase the general humidity and provide more handholds and easy paths.
The water hitting her felt wonderful and despite wanting to stay in there longer, Cait cut it short. Her back was hurting and she wanted to get off of her feet.
Cait was very appreciative of the handholds and easy paths as she made her way back to the bed.
"I feel better."
Good. Very good. Is there anything else I can do to make you more comfortable?
"Put your arms around me and hold me," she said.
That, at least, he can do, settling back in with her, as wrapped around her as he can manage in her current state. |
