Raphi’s eyes fluttered shut as his forehead met hers. Her hands tangled themselves in his hair before she pulled away to place a kiss on the tip of his nose. “I read anywhere from eighteen to twenty-four weeks. I’m a little over eighteen, so it’s not uncommon,” she explained. As she finished her sentence, she felt another small knock against her. “It’s moving so much,” she laughed, her hand returning to her belly.

“I didn’t know you could glow more than you did before.” He susposed there was double the amount of sunshine in his life now so it made sense. Everytime it kicked it was like another reminder that soon he would be a father. “For a moment I thought I would be scared, with everyone talking about responsibility. But the way I see it, this is what I’ve been waiting for my entire life, and it’s almost here. How could I be more excited?” she looked at her with a wide grin rubbing her belly.

“You know what! Fuck you too!” Judy yelled to the person’s retreating backside. Turning on her heel, she went to storm away only to be confronted by someone else. “What do you want?”

“J-just...wanted to see if you were alright.” he said awkwardly as he rubbed his arm.

“Bueno, it’s the same thing, it’s just used interchangeably. I’m not sure why it is, however.”

“That makes literally no sense. Beads Tuesday makes more sense.” shakes his head. He said with a light laugh, not being entirely serious. He could never say something so rude and not be joking.

Raph nodded excitedly, holding her hands over his. “Sunshine,” she cooed at her belly, “Show Daddy what you just showed me.” Her eyes flickered up to his as she felt another kick, hoping he could feel it, too.

Feeling a small kick he had to hold back tears. Simon couldn’t help that when he was overly happy that was his first reaction. Instead he placed his forehead on hers bringing her closer to him. “It’s wonderful. I didn’t know it would do that so soon.”

“Just because it’s Tuesday doesn’t mean you should keep yourself holed up. If you schedule your time right, I assure you, there’s time for rumba.–No, not zumba, rumba! It’s Fat Tuesday, let’s celebrate!” 

[ghost-boy-zerom-blog]

“Fat tuesday? I thought it was mardi gras...”

Raphi yelped in surprise, her eyes wide and her brows raised. “Oh my gosh!” she grinned, “It moved!”

[ghost-boy-zerom-blog]

“It’s moving?” his hands gently glided onto Raphi’s stomach looking for the child to see if he could share in this experience.

Christmas Gift || Saphi

Raphi blushed as he dragged her face to his, her eyes fluttering shut at the kiss. “We are, aren’t we?” she giggled, still having not fully wrapped her head around the idea. Had it been anyone else bu Simon, she would be more nervous. After all, they’d only been married for about as long as she’d been pregnant. But Simon had this calming quality to him. He was always able to make her feel safe, welcome, and loved; because of this, she had no reason to be worried. She grinned as he mentioned the mugs, “I know you do. I painted them.”

He lay next to her, leg wrapped around hers just rubbing her belly with his hand. All that he wanted was to spend the entire christmas doing this. “Just think that this kid will be so loved in ways that we had never thought possible. She’ll have a big sister with Nat or maybe she’ll be the responsible one who knows? With the most wonderful mother in the world and don’t forget grandmother Zerom.” Letting his mind run free with all the possibles that came with this clean slate of a human being. “Would you like a cup o’ tea my dear?” looking back to his brand new cups made by his loving wife.

Christmas Gift || Saphi

At first Raphi wasn’t sure what he meant. “How could you” sounded like she did something wrong. It wasn’t until the second sentence that she finally relaxed, a huge grin playing across her face. She let him drag her closer, giggling at the feeling of his stubble against her skin. “I’m only about four weeks,” she explained, “but I thought this would be a great Christmas surprise.” Raphi tangled her fingers in his hair, gently combing it away from his face. “Si,” she said, lifting his head, “come on, open the other ones. I worked really hard on them.”

“Darling” he looked at her with his tear stained eyes and red patchy face. “Let me just relish for a moment that we are going to have a child.” He moved his way up her body til he finally kissed her cheek. Looking in the way she glowed, weither she was pregnant or not she always has this glow about her but now it seemed even more special. Holding her close he used his other hand to bring the smaller presents closer and ripping them open. Barely getting over the surprise from before. “I like these mugs. I always liked the look of a stag.”

Christmas Gift || Saphi

Raphi giggled at the sight of him squirming eagerly in his seat. She opened the next one quickly, a large smile spreading across her face as she saw the sweaters. “Ooh, I love them,” she said, kissing him on the cheek. “And they’re so soft!” Finally, it was time for her big present. Truthfully, it was a couple presents in one, but they all went together. She handed him the first part, a box he same size as he last present. She watched nervously as he opened it. “These all go together, but that one makes the other two make sense,” she bit her lip, handing him a tiny box and a bag, each with presents inside.

Simon opened his next present without a suspicion in the world. Having no idea the care and responsibility he was about to unfold. When opening it and his eyes finally crossed upon the ultrasound of his child he fixated on it not even sure if he wanted to open the other presents quite yet. His eyes began to swell and turn red as tears ran across his face almost within seconds of opening the gift. Hiding his emotions was not something Simon did well at. “H-how could you?” he said in between light sobs. “There’s no way I could ever get you anything better than what you have just given me.” he gently grabbed her leg to pull her closer. Lifting her shirt to place gentle kisses on her stomach, later resting his head there as he continued to cry from the joy in his heart.

“Mhm, yeah… right” she mumbled with a nod after only catching a few of his words. “Sounds nice to be so.. enthusiastic.” The last word sounded so foreign to her for some reason.

“Don’t worry if you can’t keep up with what I’m saying. I understand that I may be ahead of this time. Perfection comes with a price.” 

[ghost-boy-zerom-blog]

“I–” Sulley gave Simon a strange stare. He was completely thrown off by the man’s sudden confidence boost. “Alright, Simon. Amuse me. Tell me more about this…’blood of a great king’ thing.”

“With the golden hair of my most beautiful wife and my leadship and strength and devilish goods looks it is clear that our son will be that of the next King Arthur.” He said this in all seriousness as if he had desended from the king himself.

Raphi tried to let herself de-stress at his words, but it still bothered her that they were looking. Still, she melted into his hug, enjoying the way her bump felt against his body. “Son?” she laughed, “What if it’s a girl? We don’t know yet.”

As he was about to explain his reasoning as to why the child was most definately a boy in his brain a passerby walked right into them slightly throwing him off balance. Holding on to his wife to protect her first. After, he turned to snap at the person. “Let’s my wife you ran into. Don’t you know who we are?”

“I wouldn’t say the best man but… Wait, a child?” She’d fought to keep her face emotionless, but the blank stare gave way to a frown. “You’re having a child? I’ve always dreamed of starting a family.”

“Yes of course, it came a bit of a shock but it’s all for the best because I’m going to make a fantastic father. My son is going to be the best ans that’s that.” he said ignoring some of what she said as he only really thought about himself.
