Author's POV
****
It had been about 9 whole months since you and Aldryx conceived, and you couldn't be happier.
You sat outside on the back porch, staring at trees as you waited for Aldryx to come back with your tea.

For no reason at all, being at your final days before your due date made you abnormally thirsty. You had always craved something like crushed ice, watermelon, lemons and french fries. At any time of night, day, or even out shopping. You had your little supply of lemons and ice.
You even liked to put some of the juice on your ice and eat it that way. Aldryx would even tease you about the time he caught you stealing sugar cubes and taking them back to the room, and later complaining about having heartburn because you ate too much sugar.

You smiled and closed your eyes in reminisce. The scent of the evergreen pines tickled your senses and sent your mind aloft. Deeply engaged in a meditation session, you didn't even notice Aldryx standing right next to you, just giggling.

He watched as your chest rose and fell, sneaking a picture with a goofy caption. Lucky for you, the shutter went off and you opened your eyes to a guilty looking Aldryx.

"Busted by your own phone!" You smirked, standing up next to him.

"Oh, whatever. I still got what I wanted~" He waved his phone in front of you and showed the picture of your sleeping face.

"Nooo! I look bad..." you blushed and looked down.

Aldryx grabbed your swolen face, "Hey. You look good."

You blushed harder.

"You look good!" He started joking around

You smiled and laughed at his immaturity. "Did you get the lemons, boy?" You pushed him back playfully.

Aldryx held up a bag full of fresh lemons, "No sugar cubes." He said simply before handing you the bag and going back in the house.

You mocked him behind his back while setting the bag on the table. You sat back down and started cutting the fruit into wedges. For every slice, you started to feel slightly more nauseous.

You kept cutting until you got through four lemons. It was then you realized, something was off.
You called to him through the window, "Aldryx? Could you come here for a second?"

Not even seconds later, he was already near the door, pushing it open harshly. He heard the concern in your voice from the window.

"What's going on? Are you okay?" He rushed to your side, taking the knife from you and setting it on the nearby partition in the house. (That half wall thing you see in apartments and you sit stuff on it... just google it).

"I.. I don't know..." you leaned back carefully on the chair. You felt Aldryx cup his hands gently around your face.

"Hey, hey baby. Look at me." He got down to eye level with you. "Are you dizzy? Nauseous at all?"

You just nodded your head. He took your small hands into his while actively searching for your eyes. When he finally met your gaze, he stared in shcok. "You're pale..." he got up quickly. "Do you need a trashcan?" He asked. Not even waiting for a reply, he already backed into the house, grabbed a dustbin, and brought it back outside for you.

Before you could even loom over the can, everything was already coming up. Aldryx just stood there staring at you, making sure you didn't pass out later.

Once you finally regathered your breath, you managed to push out a simple question. "By the way.. what time is it?"

Aldryx looked at his phone, "11 in the morning. Why?"

It was then you realized. You hadn't eaten anything besides watermelon and ice all morning! Sure, the snack helped take away the morning sickness, but you still usually ate behind it.

"Um... promise you won't get mad?" You said, still leaning over the can.

"Mhm?"

"I may have.. accidentally... forgot to eat." That last sentence made your stomach churn again, letting up more contents.

Aldryx just sighed, clearly annoyed. "Your shenanigans were gonna lead you into the hospital..." with that, he went into the house and came back with another bag, "Which is why I brought you food-"

He couldn't even finish his last few words as you wiped the puke off of your mouth and snatched the bag out of his hand, already tearing into the food like a little mouse.

"You're welcome, cranky." He mumbled before backing into the house for the last time.
He had already known that you didn't eat anything after your snack. How? Because you were up at 6, raiding your section in the pantry. When he asked you what you were doing, you just smiled at him and hopped away, back into the room, where you would eat the snacks and later fall asleep; Only to wake up hours later at 9 and roam the house.

"This girl is gonna be the death of me.." Aldryx smiled to himself as he turned on the TV.

**

Now completely oblivious to everything else, y/n had finished her food and made her way into the livingroom, where Aldryx was fighting to keep his eyes open.
She smiled to herself as she made her way closer to him, carefully sneaking up behind him.

When she was close enough, she let her top half down over the armrest of the couch, and fall over Aldryx' face. "Hi daddy~" she beamed.

"Ah! What's happening?" He jolted awake, only to find that he was being blinded by some foriegn material.

"You have been boobhatted!"

"Eh, that's fine. I like it down here~"

Y/n blushed, "you're a pervert.." she said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Don't talk like that in front of the kid." Aldryx sat all the way up.

They both laughed together and spent their morning sharing the lemons y/n had cut earlier.

******
This was already in before the contest opened but I almost missed it because I was setting stuff up.

This is also why I stress putting things on the right pages because I will either miss or forget about it.

Make sure your requests go on the first page in the book.
