(MILES)
Six Months Pregnant…
Arlo and I have attended all the doctors appointments. The sixth month check up however feels different. We are more anxious than ever. It is as if the weight of the upcoming arrival of our baby is settling more on us.
Dr Nicholas enters the room with the same warm smile on his face. "So, how are you boys doing today?"
"I'm alright," Arlo says. 'I'm just looking forward to not being pregnant. Can the baby come any sooner?"
The doctor laughs. "Most omegas are more ready than ever to get it over with when they hit the sixth month mark.
"Half the time, he is scared of the birthing process, the other half he can't wait to be done with the pregnancy." I frown. "I don't know which one is the real Arlo."
"They both are. Honestly, pregnancy is a mixture of anticipation and dread."
