A room at the Arms Hotel

[izzyalienqueen]

An unfamiliar bed plus an almost eight months pregnant body meant Isabel hadn't gotten the best night's sleep. Then again, she hadn't had a decent night's sleep since the small person had taken up tap dancing on her kidneys.

With a yawn and a quick mental review of exactly how long it was till her due date, she rolled over and poked Wyatt. "Your son would like breakfast."

"No heartburn. He's going for an aching back and permanent bruises on my ribs from kicking."

As if he knew he was being talked about the baby chose that moment to kick out causing a small ripple against her stomach. "He's saying good morning I think. That or feed me."

"Is he going to let me get dressed first, or am I going to have to fetch breakfast naked?" Wyatt asked, following the ripple with a fingertip.

"I think he'll give you time to get dressed. Having daddy arrested for indecent exposure would delay breakfast."

Although it was a shame to cover up such a nice view.

"Ooooor I could just call room service?" Wyatt said. Then he didn't even have to get out of bed!

"Now that's decadent," Isabel grinned. "But I don't know if it'll be as good as the time time Victoria brought us breakfast in bed." Not that she was particularly in the mood for Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs and chocolate milk.

"I don't think my mouth has recovered yet from all the Tabasco sauce she poured on the cereal for you," Wyatt complained. Yet somehow he managed to smile and declare it the best breakfast he'd ever had.

"Oh I think it's recovered." He proved it with kisses on a daily basis. "But I have to say the expression on your face was priceless. I really wish I'd had a camera handy."

She laughed, thinking of where Victoria was spending the weekend. "Look on the bright side, if she pulls something similar on her Grandpa Phil at least my mom will have a camera nearby."

"And a gallon of water, hopefully," Wyatt said, wincing at the memory. Honestly, he hadn't been able to taste anything but the hot sauce for days.

"She can call in Max to heal his tastebuds. Unless Miss Victoria decides to suddenly show off some new powers of her own and does it herself."

Isabel still hadn't recovered from the time two year old Victoria managed to orb herself from her bedroom out to the swingset in the backyard.

"Who knows, she could surprise us," Wyatt said, moving back up on the bed but keeping one hand lightly on Isabel's belly. "I could heal from the womb but it took a long time for Chris to be able to, and even longer for Aunt Paige."

Isabel curled into him, at least as much as she was comfortably able. "Max healed a bird when he was eight. So there's a chance. Of course between your genes and mine, I think we're doomed.

Resting her hand over his, she raised an eyebrow. "What were we thinking when we thought a second one would be a good idea?"

[blessed_twice]

"I think some of it had to do with Victoria's big wibbly eyes when she said she wanted a little brother or sister," Wyatt pointed out.

"We couldn't have just gotten her a puppy? She wanted one of them as well."

Not that Isabel was truly complaining. She just felt big, awkward and ungainly.

[blessed_twice]

"I didn't hear you complaining during the baby-making process," Wyatt grinned.

"Well no. But that part was fun," she sighed. "This on the other hand...Gah! I'm fat. I have to pee what feels like every 20 minutes and I waddle. How can you still find me attractive like this?"

Pregnancy hormones were such fun.

"You're absolutely beautiful," Wyatt assured her, pushing himself up to lean over her. "You're glowing."

Not literally, but hey, with Fandom and witches and aliens, it was always an option.

Wyatt always had a way of making her feel better.

"Flatterer." Isabel tipped her head up for a kiss. "If we order now, we'll still have some time before breakfast is delivered."

[blessed_twice]

"Time for what exactly?" Wyatt said after he'd leaned down for a kiss.

"Oh I don't know," she mused. "Maybe some more practice? Just in case we ever got crazy enough to go for number three?"
