Davian stared at his pregnant niece and shook his head. He looked exhausted. Who knew taking care of a pregnant woman would be so tiring and demanding? He loved his niece, of course, and was happy to help her out, but he couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed.
It seemed like every day there was a new set of challenges to deal with, from morning sickness to back pain to cravings for strange foods. There were doctor's appointments to keep track of, special meals to prepare, and endless errands to run. And that was all on top of his regular job and other responsibilities.
But as he looked at his niece, he knew it was all worth it. She was glowing with health and happiness, and Davian felt a sense of pride knowing that he was helping to bring a new life into the world. Despite the fatigue and stress, he wouldn't have it any other way.
"Seriously Kim, when are you going to give birth? So I can have peace. You crave the weirdest things, cry over nothing." davian asked his niece
"Seriously Uncle Davian, I don't know. I'm just as anxious as you are," Kim replied with a small laugh, rubbing her swollen belly. "And for the record, my cravings are not weird! They're just...unique," she added, sticking her tongue out at him playfully.
Davian chuckled and shook his head. "Okay, fine, unique. But what about the crying? I mean, you cried over a commercial yesterday, Kim," he teased.
Kim rolled her eyes but couldn't help but smile. "I know, I know. But you have to understand, these hormones are crazy! I can't help it sometimes."
Davian nodded understandingly. "I get it. And I'm sorry for being impatient. I just can't wait to meet my new niece or nephew."
Kim's smile widened. "I know, me too. But you'll have to be patient just a little while longer. And who knows, maybe I'll have another unique craving for us to laugh about in the meantime."
After the laugh died down, Kim faced her uncle. "Thank you, Uncle. For always being there for me. I know it's not easy taking care of a pregnant woman, but you did it without complaining. you did it with such love and care. You made me feel like a princess even when I was at my worst. You made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed during this challenging time. I appreciate you more than words can express."
"We're family, Kim," Uncle replied with a smile. "Of course, I'll take care of you. You're like a daughter to me, and I'll do anything to make sure you and the baby are healthy and happy."
Kim couldn't help but feel grateful for her uncle's unwavering support and love. She knew that with him by her side, she could get through anything.

Kim was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for her family, when she felt something warm and wet drip down her leg.
At first, she thought she had spilled water on herself. But then she felt it again, and this time she knew exactly what it was. Her water had just broken. She stood there for a moment, in shock, as she realized that her baby was on its way.
"uncle! My water just broke." Kim screamed from the kitchen.
Davian rushed in. He was in a state of panic, not sure of what to do. As soon as Davian walked into the kitchen, he saw that Kim was in distress. She was clutching her belly, her face twisted in pain. "What do we do?" he asked, his voice shaking.
"I don't know," Kim gasped. "I think we need to call an ambulance." Davian grabbed his phone and dialed 911, trying to keep his hands steady as he gave their address and explained the situation.
Meanwhile, Kim was breathing heavily, trying to stay calm. "It's going to be okay," Davian said, trying to reassure her. "The ambulance will be here soon, and they'll take care of you." Kim nodded weakly, tears streaming down her face.
Davian felt helpless, wishing there was something more he could do to ease her pain. All he could do was wait and hope that help would arrive in time.
The ambulance was taking too long to arrive and Kim was starting to cry. Davian took a deep breath and tried to remain calm, but his heart was racing. "Okay, okay," he said, his mind racing as fast as his pulse. "Let's get you to the hospital. I'll grab your bag and the car keys. Just breathe, Kim. It's going to be okay."
Kim nodded, trying to stay calm but the pain was increasing with each passing moment. Davian helped her to the car and they rushed to the hospital, both of them barely speaking as they tried to process what was happening. Once they arrived, Davian helped Kim check in, and they waited anxiously for the doctor to arrive.
Hours passed, and finally, a little bundle of joy was born. Davian's heart swelled with love as he saw his new niece for the first time. He felt relieved that everything had gone well, and he was grateful for the doctors and nurses who had helped bring this new life into the world. As he held the tiny baby in his arms, he knew that he would always be there for her and for Kim, no matter what challenges lay ahead.

Kim took a last look at her sleeping baby in the cradle. He looked so peaceful, so innocent, and so vulnerable. If she had a choice, she'd take him with her, but she knew it was for the best to leave.
The decision was not an easy one, but it was necessary. She had to protect her baby, and the only way to do that was to leave him behind. With tears in her eyes, she gently kissed his forehead and whispered a promise to come back for him.
As she stepped out of the room, she knew that the road ahead would be difficult, but she was determined to do whatever it takes to keep her baby safe. "uncle davian? Please help me take care of him. I'll come in every and then so he wouldn't think I abandoned him."
"I will Kim," Uncle Davian replied with a reassuring smile. "You take care of yourself, okay? Don't worry about me. I'll be just fine. And I know you'll come visit when you can, so we won't feel like you've abandoned us. Just focus on your own life and your own dreams, and don't worry about me. I'll always be here for you when you need me." Uncle Davian put his hand on Kim's shoulder and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
Kim knew she could count on him, just like he had always been there for her. With a heavy heart, she turned and walked away, knowing that her baby was in good hands.
