Chapter 27 ט C Tank laughed " That is mild compared to some of Lilly's . Like her pickles and peanut butter when she was pregnant with Lita . " Silvy gagged at that . " I hope I don't have any weird ones , " she said . I laughed . I hope so too but I will get Silvy whatever she wants . Like now she grabs another grape from me . " Hey , " I whined . I don't have a problem with Silvy taking food from me . I got the grapes for her anyway . But that isn't going to stop me from giving her a hard time about it . It is what we do . Silvy playfully slaps my shoulder . " Hush . You love sharing with me and you know it . " she giggles . It is true . I would give her anything her heart desires . I just wish she would realize it . Hopefully , she will soon . I know Lilly and Tank are us with curiosity . They will know the deal soon enough . I kissed her forehead and we finished eating . But by the time we were done and got everything cleaned up the sun was setting . I grabbed the bag I packed and two bottles of water before I went back to Silvy . I wrap my arm around her shoulder while she talks to Lilly . " Hey babe , will you come with me for a little while ? " I asked her . Silvy looks over her shoulder at me . " But I thought we were going to watch fireworks , " she said . Silvy pouted and looked genuinely upset . I can't have that . " We will babe . I promise . I just have a spot up the hill for us . There we can watch the ones Axel sets off and the ones the town sets off . " I told her hoping that would cheer her up . Silvy smiles " I can see both shows ? " I nod . " Then yes . Let's go . " she giggled . We said bye to Tank and Lilly . I took Silvy's hand and guided her through the trees to a clearing I found . It was only a ten - minute walk from the group . I wasn't going to risk wearing Silvy out . It pissed me off that she pulled two double shifts last week . She was so tired when she went home I found her asleep on the couch still in her scrubs . I've never been happier that I stop by every day to check on her . When we get to the middle of the field I set the bags down and pull out the blanket I packed . 64 I laid it out making sure it wasn't on any rocks or sticks that could poke Silvy . I stood back and grabbed Silvy's hand to help her sit down . Goof , I'm only four months along . I don't need help getting up and down yet . " Silvy said . " So , " I said . I don't care if she needed help or not , I was going to do it anyway . Silvy huffs but doesn't say anything . I grab the bag and sit down beside Silvy . " What's in the bag ? " Silvy asked . " It is a surprise . Are you hungry ? " I asked . Silvy shakes her head " No. Not right now . " I move the bag aside . I hold my arms open . " Come here , " I said . " What ? " Silvy asks . I grab Silvy under her arms , lift her up and place her between my legs . " Goof , what the hell ? " Silvy huffed . I ignore her and place my hands on her swollen belly . I still can't believe our baby is growing in there . I know it is too early to feel it moving but I'm looking forward to it . " How's the little one ? Not making you too tired or sick ? " I asked as I rubbed her belly . Silvy relaxed under my hands and rested her head against my chest . Silvy sighs " Just some nausea from certain smells . And a little more tired than normal . Goof , you know all of this from when we went to the doctor last week . She is fine , I promise .
