Baby shower... [michelle/jessa/noelle/connor/...?]

[Connor Evans]

Connor stood by the door welcoming everyone into the hall. Michelle was walking around the room talking with all her friends that had come. There were at least a hundred people there and the gifts were piling up. Jessa walked in and he hugged her. They hadn’t really seen each other in forever. He looked down to see an adorable little girl, Baby say hi to Connor. She waved her little hand and let him pick her up. I’m gonna go say hi to everyone, you stay here with Connor ok baby? She nodded and sucked her thumb. She wasn’t really fussing or anything and everyone thought she was adorable. He kept greeting everyone but stopped when he got a tap on the shoulder. He turned to see Michelle giving him a curious look. Jessa’s daughter. She lifted her little hand and waved at Michelle. He hoped that one day he had a daughter to call his own.

Everyone basically got seated and he went to the front following Michelle. He still had the nameless cutie on his hip. Jessa was sitting with old friends they all had; she was laughing at how he just held her daughter. He spotted Noelle over by some of his soccer buddies with Alissa on her hip. Michelle took his hand, Thank you all for coming. Foods out back there, go get some and under your plates a ticket is taped. That’s for the raffle later. Enjoy yourselves please. There was shuffling as everyone lined up for food. The little girl just sucked her thumb as Jessa walked over to them, Jess I got her. Go catch up with everyone. I won’t lose her. She smiled and went to get in line with the rest of the people. He walked back to Michelle and the little one looked a little bit tired. Does she need a nap or anything? She looks tired. Hey little one, you tired? He stroked her cheek and her little eyes shut.

Connor bounced from table to table, stopping to say hi to everyone he knew and introducing himself to others he didn’t. Most everyone he knew from the wedding shower. He made his way over to Jessa and she took her daughter back, Becca came flying over to him though. Hi baby. Hi! He laughed and carried her around on his hip. I wanna go by chelle. Ok how about you come find me when you’re done? She nodded and he set her down only for her to run over to Michelle. He laughed and went over to one of his soccer buddies who had come with his wife and baby. How’s it goin? Good. Having fun? Connor laughed a little but nodded, today had been ok so far. Tyler’s phone rang and he handed the baby to Connor. I’ll be right back. He won’t cry or anything. Connor shrugged and went back by Michelle and she laughed, You just accumulate kids don’t you? He smiled, Guess everyone just trusts me. I don’t even know this little guys name. She laughed and cooed to him, You’re going to make an amazing mom. She leaned up and kissed him, And you’ll be the best dad.

[Michelle Evans]

Michelle was walking around the room with her pregnant self and talking to all of her old friends that she hadn’t talked to in forever. They were all exactly the same, none of them had kids of their own…not yet anyway. They were all still in the same shape that they were in high school. Only one married her high school sweetheart, which really didn’t surprise her; they were so close and so in love she could tell when she looked in Amanda’s eyes, even back then. Connor was standing by the door and was welcoming everyone, he really didn’t have to do that, Michelle wanted him with her but she knew that he didn’t enjoy standing around talking to her friends and hearing all the gossip about anything and everything. Sooo, are you excited?! Michelle laughed, Yeah, I am. We’ve waited for him for soooo long. But if feels like my due date is still so far away, but then again, once it gets closer it’ll feel like we won’t be ready. Amanda laughed at her but nodded. Yeah, but you guys will be great parents…I can tell already. She glanced over at Connor so Michelle looked over in his direction and she saw a little pony tail over his shoulder. She excused herself from her friends and walked over to him. Jessa’s daughter. He answered before she could speak; it’s like he can read her mind sometimes. Michelle waved back at the, as much as she hated to admit it, cute little girl.

Everyone sat down and Connor and Michelle went up to the front of the hall and Michelle took his hand as he spoke. Thank you all for coming. Foods out back there, go get some and under your plates a ticket is taped. That’s for the raffle later. Enjoy yourselves please. Michelle smiled as everyone lined up for food. Jess I got her. Go catch up with everyone. I won’t lose her. Connor said to Jessa as she walked up to them. She smiled at him and went to get in the long line for food. He walked back over to Michelle, Does she need a nap or anything? She looks tired? Hey little one, you tired? Michelle smiled as Connor stroked her cheek and her little eyes fluttered shut.

Connor must not have been all that hungry as he went around to table to table saying hi to the people he hadn’t already, and meeting the people that he’d never met before. Michelle sat at the front table talking to whoever stopped by. She planned on joining Connor soon but it didn’t look like that was going to happen anytime soon. This time it was Connor’s grandma from Britain congratulating her on the baby, she had said she always knew that they would end up together and she couldn’t help but smile. It really meant a lot to her that his grandma liked her. Connor was so close to his grandparents it was an honor to know that they thought she was good enough for their grandson. Just then Becca came running over to her and Michelle pulled her up onto her lap. Connor’s grandma smiled and excused herself as Michelle kissed Becca’s head. Becca got bored easily and ran off to go find Justin and Connor walked back over. This time he was holding a baby that she didn’t know. She laughed as he walked up, You just accumulate kids don’t you? He smiled at her. Guess everyone just trusts me. I don’t even know this little guys name. She laughed and started cooing to the baby in her husbands arms, You’re going to make an amazing mom. She leaned up and kissed him, And you’ll be the best dad. She said with a nod of her head. There were no doubts in her mind that said otherwise.

Tyler came back to get his son and Michelle put her hand on her stomach. Honey are you ok? Connor asked with worry evident in his eyes. Connor I’m fine, he’s just kicking, wanna feel? He smiled and nodded, it made Michelle smile when his hand covered hers and he felt his son kick. She was being beaten up from the inside out but she couldn’t care less, it would all be worth it soon enough when she’s able to hold her baby boy in her arms. Connor leaned down and kissed her, I love you so much honey…and little Mason too. Michelle smiled when he said that she couldn’t believe she was really married to him and starting a family. The time just seemed to fly by. They’d already been married for a few years now and were finally starting a family; they both deserved it.

Connor was accumulating kids while he walked around and then Tyler came back and picked up his son. He was instantly aware as michelle held her stomach, Honey are you ok? He was worried and he knew that it was showing in his eyes as she looked over at him, Connor I’m fine, he’s just kicking, wanna feel? He smiled and nodded and she smiled back at him in response. His hand covered hers and he could feel his little son kicking, it felt so amazing that such a little thing could be alive inside her. He leaned down and kissed her, I love you so much honey… and little Mason too. Michelle smiled up at him and he wrapped his arms around her waist gently. Everyone was chowing down on the catered food and they were watching them quietly, Do you want something to eat honey? I can get it for you. She shrugged, If you want to share something we can. I’m not too hungry but I could use a little something. He kissed her cheek, I’ll get a few things to eat baby. She smiled and let him leave her to go grab some food.

Connor walked over to the huge containers of catered food. They’d picked out easy finger foods to eat so that it wasn’t too messy and they didn’t need silver-wear. For main courses they’d picked out chicken pitas, veggie pitas, sandwiches, and chicken strips. The sides were mashed potatoes, shrimp salad, and mozzarella sticks. For veggies they’d been a bit funny; baby carrots, baby green beans, baby peas, and baby broccoli and the normal salad of course. Dessert was his favorite by far with strawverries filled with cream cheese, oreo truffles (oreos crushed up and mixed with cream cheese and covered in chocolate), banana split cake, and cheese cake brownies. He grabbed a plate and moved down the line picking up only the things he knew she’d eat and a few things for himself. When he finished up with a loaded plate he headed back over to his wife who was now sitting down with her feet up cause they were swelled up nice and big. He put the plate down in front of her and she smiled up at him, Thank you baby. He sat down next to her and kissed her cheek, No problem at all. She smiled and rested her back against the side of his arm as she dug into the food. Connor snatched up a sandwich and munched on it as everyone finished up eating and some friends made their way over to them.

Are you ready for presents?! Michelle had just finished eating a strawberry and most of her food when Amanda came over. She nodded and wiped off her mouth with a napkin before Connor stood up and pulled her to her feet. She wasn’t exactly small anymore and couldn’t really get up by herself anymore. Michelle smiled at him and put a hand on her lower back, Thanks honey. He smiled and kissed her gently as his arms wrapped around her waist, My pleasure. Connor led her over to the present table and she stood in front of him so she could lean back against him for support. He knew she wouldn’t last long because her feet were sore and it seemed her back was too. Mine first! Michelle laughed and started to open the huge gift basket which he noticed was a laundry basket… (it was filled with gifts and would be extremely helpful for all the laundry they were gonna be doing) Awww it’s adorable! She had a bunch of blankets, bibs, and onesies that were ducky patterned. Connor laughed and let her lean back against him more. She opened countless numbers of baby clothes and much needed things like bottles and pacifiers. After a good twenty minutes she was getting tired and he could tell because she was leaning back against him with all lines of herself against him. He motioned for a chair from her dad and instantly he was handed one. Carefully he put the chair down and guided her down onto it, his hands rubbed her shoulders gently and she smiled up at him gratefully. Connor knew she was gonna be wiped out when they got home and was going to be in need of a bath and lots of rubbing which he really didn’t mind one bit.

Michelle opened a box from one of her other friends and she turned really red but he didn’t grasp why. It’s just maternity wear… Oh you are so lying. She glared at him as people wanted to see what it was now and he knew he shoulda just shut up when he had the chance. It’s just maternity clothes! He nodded and rubbed her neck gently with his fingers, Ok ok. Then her mom piped up, Yea ok honey. She groaned as her mom made her way up there and pulled the item out of the bag. That made her even redder so she hid her face in his stomach since she was sitting down.

Her feet were killing her, everything seemed to be huge therefore her shoes were squeezing her feet like crazy. Michelle leaned against Connor for support and it was getting hard for her to stand up alone. She fell back against him more so now there was no space in between them at all. He must have realized that she was in pain and he motioned for a chair to be brought up to her. Like the amazing husband he was he guided her down onto the chair. His hands moved up her back and when they reached her shoulders they started rubbing. It felt amazing, everything seemed to hurt. Michelle smiled up at him gratefully, her husband was amazing and she was so lucky to have him.

There was a box from Julie still left unopened. Julie was the friend that didn’t care if you got embarrassed by her gift; she’d give it anyway. When Michelle pulled it out of the bag she instantly turned a shade of red. It’s just maternity wear… Oh you are so lying. Michelle glared at him, the one time he was actually interested in a present and it wasn’t even for the baby. People were shuffling around and saying they wanted to see it. It’s just maternity clothes! Connor nodded and rubbed her neck gently with those amazing hands of his. Finally he got the hint that she didn’t want to show everyone and he’d be able to see soon enough. Ok ok. Her mom just couldn’t keep her mouth shut, Yeah ok honey. A groan escaped Michelle’s lips as her mom made her way up to where they were sitting and pulled it out of the bag. It was little and red with black lace over the red covering the chest. Of course that was what Julie got her, how could she expect anything less from her? She turned the shade of the small little outfit and she hid her face in Connor’s stomach; it was the only thing she could reach since she was sitting down. It was so embarrassing, sure obviously everyone knew she was sleeping with Connor but they hadn’t in a few months because he was always afraid of putting her into labor. No one needed to know what they did in the privacy of their own bedroom. Aww Michelle! It’s nothing to be embarrassed about! Mom just shut up please. Her mom laughed and Michelle grabbed the little outfit with little fabric and put it back in the bag. Michelle gave her mom a dirty look and she laughed as she headed back to her seat. She took in a shaky breath and Connor leaned down to her level. With his lips at her ear he whispered to her, Don’t worry honey, I can’t wait to see you in that. She blushed even more but smiled up at him. Even when she couldn’t fit in any of her other clothes he’d be the one to think that she was still beautiful.

Julie’s gift!

They had a bunch of games planned for the day and the first one that they were going to play was where they take streamers and rip off the amount of streamer that they think would fit around Michelle’s stomach and the person that got closest won a cute basket full of soaps and lotions. All of her friends came up and ripped off a piece of the streamer, one of her mom’s friends was really nice about it, and she ripped off about 6 inches of streamer. There was no way that would fit around Michelle. She told Michelle that she was still beautiful, she didn’t look that big. Of course that was a lie, she was huge and everyone knew it. Everyone else wasn’t so nice about it, they came up and ripped off long pieces. The embarrassing part was soon to come when Michelle had to stand up there in front of everyone and have them wrap the streamers around her belly. They had already done this earlier and had the ‘key’ streamer hidden so no one could cheat. Once everyone had their streamer Michelle stood up and they came up one by one to measure it around her belly. Hardly any of them fit, some were a few inches off some were way farther than that. Come on guys you can do better than this! Everyone started laughing. They had a tie between two of Michelle’s friends from cheering; Jenna and Hannah. They had been best friends since she knew them and it didn’t really surprise her, they were always able to finish each others sentences so of course they would think alike about everything else too. When the key was brought out it was found that Hannah one. When she sat back down Connor took her prize over to her and they began another game. It turns out Michelle was really enjoying herself, despite all of the embarrassment from her mother and friends, but she loved everyone of them and that wouldn’t change.

Connor was currently watching women wrap streamers around his wifes stomach and it was kind of disturbing. These women had no clue how big around she was; but he knew just how big she was. He was watching as one of the ladies was being nice and ripped off a little bit of streamer and it made him smile to himself. One of her friends won and he took the prize over to her while michelle sat back down to rest her feet and ankles that he knew were killing her.

They started another game and Connor stepped up to the front to explain it. Ok there are four different diapers here. Each one has a melted chocolate bar in it. Your job is to figure out what chocolates are which. The girls lined up at the table to play the game and he laughed as they started to eat the chocolate. He sat back down next to his wife and patted his lap for her foot. She happily rested her feet in his lap and sighed with relief when he pulled off her shoes and started to rub them. He didn’t mind rubbing her feet at all because she was carrying his baby after all and he knew she was sore. Nothing could make him stop doing something for her when she was in pain and suffering. Thank you so much. No problem. She smiled at him and let him keep on rubbing her feet.

Hannah was doing the best so far in the game and had two of the chocolates figured out. She knew that the Elmo diaper was Hershey’s and the pooh bear was Reese’s. Connor laughed as the girls kept trying to at the chocolate and they would giggle and swallow before they really tasted it. Michelle’s hand stroked his cheek since his head had dropped some, You look tired. I’m exhausted. I was here for three hours setting up before you woke up this morning and then two yesterday. I went to bed at three this morning and got up at seven. I’m beyond tired. She nodded and kissed his cheek, You do too much. It’s my job, and speaking of my job… I have to work two hours after we’re done here tonight. She sighed, Fine. He could tell that she didn’t want him to go but work was work and money was money. It was simple for him; they had a baby on the way and he had two more people to support… he had to work. Connor knew that she hated being alone when she was pregnant and at night but he had no other choice now; he’d missed three hours yesterday and six today so far. What time will you be home? Around ten. She sighed and nodded as he kept rubbing her feet gently. Then Hannah squeaked and said she knew all the chocolates. Ok lets hear them. She rattled them off in order and got all of them correct.

Hannah came over and was talking to Michelle about something or another and he spotted Jessa in the corner with a crying Amy. I’ll be back soon honey. She nodded since she really wasn’t paying any attention to him at all and he left. Slowly he made his way over to Jessa and Amy stopped crying as she spotted him. Hi there baby girl. He cooed to the little baby in Jessa’s arms. Can you take her? I need to make a few calls. He nodded and picked up the little crier and cuddled her against his chest. Jessa walked out and he sat down at a nearby table with her curled up in his arms. His eyes were getting heavy as he held the little bundle of heat on his chest. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was relaxed; that was when he realized she was asleep on him. He smiled and his eyes shut also no matter how hard he tried to stay awake; it was just too hard to stay awake. It was overwhelming when the wall of sleep hit him and he was out cold dreaming about the little baby he would have some day.

It was hot out and the sprinkler was out in the front yard. Connor was sitting on the porch watching a little blonde haired boy run around in the water giggling. Daddy watch! He smiled down at the boy, I’m watching. His son did a cartwheel through the sprinkler and giggled as he slid in the grass. Michelle took his hand from her spot next to him and it made him smile at the warmth he felt, He’s so perfect. You took the words right out of my mouth sweetheart. She smiled back up at him and leaned her head against his arm. Their son ran over to them and plopped into their laps long ways on his back covering them in cold hose water. They laughed as his hair got them covered in water. I’m gonna get you! The boy ran away giggling and he turned back to see Michelle tapping his shoulder.

Sweetheart wake up. He yawned, How long was I out for? She laughed a little, Three hours. His eyes got wide, You let me sleep for that long?! She giggled, Your boss also called and said you were getting paid vacation. He knew she was excited about that fact since he didn’t have to leave her alone now. How about a bath once we get home? I’ll rub out all your sore spots. Mmm that sounds wonderful. He smiled and noticed he still had amy in his arms, I better get rid of her first though. She laughed and nodded.
