Alayna

Staring at my shoes that I can fully put on myself, I imagine a hundred ways to burn them. The frustration bubbling up inside of me grows every fucking day that I can't get do basic human tasks. My belly seems to get bigger every time I turn around. How the fuck am I supposed to get through another like two and a half months of this?

"Still trying to kill your shoes with just your eyes?" Adam teases behind me. "I don't think that's going to work, Lay. I can help yo—"

"No," I grumble, cutting him off sharply. "I can do it. I just need to come at it from a different angle."

Adam steps up beside me, his hand resting on my lower back. "What angle is that exactly? I'm not sure even yoga can help with this, babe."

Growling deep in my throat, I bump him away from me with my hip. There's a solution that doesn't turn me into a weakling who has her boyfriends do everything for her. Maybe if I just slip them on and kick my leg up behind me, I could pull the backs up that way. It may work. You know, if I can actually kick my leg back that high. Going from a woman who did kickboxing in the gym almost weekly to this beached whale impersonation is absolutely killing me. I'm fucking helpless when I'm this big.

Shaking my head to clear the thoughts before they spiral deeper, I step forward and slip my shoes on. Resting my right hand against the wall, I kick my left leg up first. My hand just barely reaches the back of the shoe, but before I can pull it up, my right hip locks in place and cramps, sending sharp, shooting pain down my leg.

"Fuck!" I gasp, dropping my left leg and placing both hands against the wall. Adam grabs my hips, keeping me standing upright. "Ouch, that fucking hurt."

"What happened? Are you okay? Do we need to call the doctor?" Adam shoots questions at me in rapid succession, not giving me a moment to answer him in between. "Shit, I don't have my phone. Where's your phone?"

"It was just a hip cramp, Adam. I'm fine," I reassure him and turn around. Gesturing to my body then placing both hands on my stomach, I smile softly. "See? Me and my beach ball belly full of babies are fine."

Adam stares at me, a smile slowly spreading across his face. "That's an image," he says with a laugh. "It makes it sound like you eat babies. As if your belly is just full of all the babies you had for breakfast."

I throw my head back with a loud laugh, startling the babies I apparently ate. A few sharp kicks come from my belly, making me laugh even harder. Placing Adam's hands over the kicks, I smile at the way his face lights up. "Apparently the babies I ate aren't happy to be in there. They're kicking to try and get out.
