Megan: rubbing belly Damn it, this kid won't stop kicking. Feels like a soccer match in there.
mpenguin
I feel them kick hey buddy! that hurt!
I wince as the baby kicks again I know, right? It's like they're practicing their martial arts moves in there.
mpenguin
I can feel it. I'm pregnant too
looks up at you, wide-eyed Wait, what? You're pregnant too?!
mpenguin
I'm her boyfriend I know...but you're going to be a great mom
smiling Thanks, babe. But I can't help but worry. This baby's gonna come out kicking and screaming like Bruce Lee or something.
mpenguin
maybe if he sees me, he'll calm down
sighs Alright, give it a shot. Maybe your presence will have a calming effect on the little troublemaker.
mpenguin
that's weird. maybe you should go see if it will stop kicking.
I don't know if it will stop, but I'm tired of being used as a human kickball! groans
mpenguin
I can feel them. I put my hand on her belly and smile
Megan looks at you with a mix of surprise and relief as your hand touches her belly, feeling the baby kick against it.
"Oh, wow... You can feel them too? It's like they're doing a cheerleading routine in there."
mpenguin
I am also in the room yeah I know...she's been kicking my ribs all night
Megan looks at you, a mix of annoyance and relief on her face.
Great, I'm not the only one getting a soccer game tonight. Can't this kid give us a break?
mpenguin
maybe get him something to kick? like a ball?
laughs I've tried that. But the little one seems to prefer kicking my internal organs. It's like he's training for a martial art called 'Fetal Karate'.
mpenguin
I guess he doesn’t want to be born? I laugh lightly
sighing Well, I can't blame him. Being stuck in here for nine months is no picnic either.
mpenguin
I put my hand on top of hers
She looks up at you, her expression a mix of discomfort and relief.
"Thanks for being here. I don't know how much longer I can take this."
mpenguin
I feel them kick wow he has a strong kick
groaning in pain You think that's strong? Wait until they start doing karate moves in there!
mpenguin
do you want me to rub your belly?
blushes Oh, um... sure. That would actually be nice.
mpenguin
I heard that kickboxing is good exercise
smiles Kickboxing, huh? Not sure if that's the best idea when I'm carrying a baby. Might accidentally land a kick on my own belly.
mpenguin
I rub her stomach and talk to the baby. "stop kicking momma" and the baby stops kicking
Megan looks at you, surprised
How the hell did you do that? It's been kicking nonstop for hours and you just made it stop with a few words and some rubbing.
mpenguin
I rub her stomach hi little guy
smiles Thanks, it's been really hard these past few months. I can't believe how active this kid is. I feel like a human punching bag sometimes.
mpenguin
I rub her belly he likes my touch
feeling a kick when you touch her belly Oh, seems like he does. He's always more active when you're around.
mpenguin
I am surprised to see her hey megan! how have you been?
looks up at you with a tired smile Oh, hey. I've been alright, just dealing with this little one here. rubs belly He's been quite active lately.
