billysgirl5 Summary: Jared feels a little flutter in his stomach and calls Chris in for the first touch.
Jared sat still, cross legged in the middle of the large bed, the white linens rumpled. His eyes are screwed shut, keeping the world at bay, breathing in deeply as he tried to keep himself calm as his hand rubbed over the small lump on his stomach.
"Chris!" Jared called once he gathered enough energy to shout his lover’s name.
"Jay? What's wrong?" Chris asked running into the bedroom.
"Come... come here!" he hissed.
"Jay? Jared?" Chris asked rushing to Jared’s side, his legs bracketing Jared’s body.
"Here, gimme your...your hand," Jared said, his own hand out waiting for Chris'.
Chris hand shook slightly as he reached out, Jared grabbing his hand hastily. "Feel," Jared urged. Chris' hand flattened against Jared’s round belly, rubbing around the area Jared hand indicated with a confused look on his face.
"Jay? What? I don't get what's happening?" he asked uncertainly.
"Just wait," he whispered, his hand rubbing Chris' back. "Come on, baby," Jared whispered, talking to his stomach.
Chris only had to wait a moment longer before he felt a slight movement under his hand. "Jay..?" Chris asked not wanting to believe, hearing Jared hiss in discomfort.
"That's your kid in there, kicking for the first time, baby," Jared explained softly, his voice husky.
"Are you okay? Does it hurt?" Chris asked, his eyes blurring from emotion.
“It’s not bad, just unusual,” Jared responded.
“Is there anything I can do for you, Babe?” Chris asked, his hand rubbing soothing circles over Jared’s stomach trying to settle the baby, his lips coming up to kiss Jared’s temple.
“Just... just stay here?” Jared asked not meeting Chris’ eyes.
“Of course, wanna lie down? Or do you want me to get my guitar?” Chris asked, his fingers carding through Jared’s hair.
“Just lie with me; I wanna be in your arms...” Jared whispered.
“Sure, Baby,” Chris smiled softly as he helped Jared lie back on the pillows, legs knotted together as he wrapped his arms around Jared’s swollen belly.
“Damn hormones, making me act like a girl,” Jared sniffled.
“You okay?” Chris asked softly.
“Yeah... I just... I love you so much, Chris, thank you...” Jared replied, his eyes closing.
“I love you, too, Jay, but you don’t have to thank me...”
“Thank you for giving me this baby, thank you for loving me...” Jared clarified.
“You never have to thank me for any of that. I will always love you... But just remember this when you’re giving birth to that kid...” Chris said huffing out a laugh.
“I’ll try,” Jared agreed.
Jared’s breaths slowly evened out until Chris was sure that he had finally allowed sleep to come. His guitar calloused fingers danced over Jared’s bare stomach waiting to see if the little baby inside would kick once more, his hands stilling when he felt another small ripple under the warm skin.
In a soft tone Chris poured out the lyrics he had been working on;
“Well I understand, that you had a plan
And someday soon you wanna start a family
When the task is done, so look all you want
But you won’t find a better father than me
I admit I have my own dreams
And I stand by you and it seems no one even cares
I’ll be your best friend
I’ll be with you til the end...”
