Thomas continued to drive for a while, ignoring the faint pain that traveled up his back. The traffic was moving at a slow steady pace and Thomas couldn't help the low groan that slipped past his lips at a particular bad pain, pressing his body into the seat until he passed.

[Lovebite]

The male was confused by the pain at first, though soon realized what it was, he glanced at Ben slightly when they were stopped in traffic. "This isn't good."He murmured, a hand moving from his bag of chips to his middle to rub it gently,"Little one decided today of all days to come on out."He sighed and tilted his head back, inching forwards in the car as traffic dragged forwards.

[018Luxio]

Thomas continued to work through the pains, though they didn't seem to be getting any worse even as traffic continued to drag on. Soon enough they disappeared all together. It seemed they were just a bad case of Braxton hicks.

[Lovebite]

It was confusing to say the least and he looked to his lover again then back out at the road as traffic inched forwards, he was growing bored himself. His eyes drifting shut every once in a while and he glanced back to see that the whole gang was asleep, smiling slightly and shaking his head with a sigh.

[018Luxio]

When Traffic finally started moving again Thomas drove for a bit longer before finally pulling into a hotel for the night. They had been driving long enough for now.

[Lovebite]

Thomas got the kids out of the car and into the hotel room after they had bought one, he wasn't sure where they were but they were together. Just a family on a road trip. He glanced back at Ben and set down the baby carriers on the floor by the bed before he took a seat. Grimacing slightly and exhaling heavily, while his hands moved towards his belly again to rub it.

[018Luxio]

"You alright?" Ben moves over to sit down beside Thomas as he runs a hand along his back.

[Lovebite]

"No."Thomas shook his head as he leant into Ben slightly, Bella had taken up a place on the couch to watch tv,"I think I felt some contractions on the way here."He told him, eyes closing while his hands traveled up and down his round orb,"They may have been braxton hicks... But I dunno."He shook his head, biting his lip.

[018Luxio]

Ben continues to run his hand along Thomas' back. "Why don't I finish unloading the truck while you go take a hot bath?"

[Lovebite]

Thomas looked up at Ben,"Unload it?"He looked confused,"Are we staying here for a while?"He asked and sat back slightly with his hands braced behind him, closing his eyes for a moment. Then opening his eyes again as he moved to slip down from the bed, unbelting the babies carefully before lifting them up to his chest."Sure, after I feed the twins."

[018Luxio]

"Just getting our clothes, and their bags." Ben nods as he slips back out of the room while Thomas got himself comfortable and began to feed the twins.

[Lovebite]

Thomas laid back against the bed after Ben had left the room, the twins where wide awake when he picked them up then took a seat on the floor. He shushed them as they whined some and grabbed at his face and clothing before he managed to unbutton his shirt for them to have access to latch onto his nipples. Milk weaning hadn't crossed his mind, since he had been full and plump since their birth and then figuring that he had another baby on the way, he sighed. Closing his eyes while holding them as they suckled heavily from him, the feeling strange as always though he enjoyed it in some odd way.

[018Luxio]

The twins suckle until they've had their fill, drifting to sleep against Thomas' chest. Ben didn't return for nearly an hour, having went and got dinner before coming back into the room. He sets everything down before making his way into the bathroom where he found Thomas mostly submerged in the hot water as he attempted to relax.

[Lovebite]

Thomas didn't look very relaxed, he was staring off into space with a grimace on his face and a hand pressed to the curve of his belly. It felt like he had heartburn but worse, he was nauseas too, though he didn't tell Ben all of this as he glanced up at him,"What did you go it?"He asked, shifting in the water to put his feet up on the tile and lean back to submerge his hair.

[018Luxio]

"I went to grab us a bite to eat. How are you feeling?"

[Lovebite]

"I know, I was just wondering what you got."He replied, though lost interest soon after when he asked how he was, shrugging as his eyes closed,"No different than before."He replied with an exhale, hand moving over his middle slowly and going beneath the water for a moment then coming back up as he wiped his face. "I feel sick."He murmured, laying his head down again on his arm.

[018Luxio]

Ben kneels down beside the tub before running his hand along Thomas' back. "It's going to be okay, we'll figure all of this out eventually." He presses a light kiss to Thomas' wet hair.

[Lovebite]

Thomas sighed as he leant into Ben,"I wasn't supposed to have this one alone. It was too high of a risk to do it, though now I guess I have no choice."He looked down at his distended belly and ran a hand over it, he was over due and only suffering through what he thought to be braxton hicks,"I just don't want what happened to the our son to happen to this one too."He grit his teeth and shifted slightly in the tub.

[018Luxio]

"It's not going to, your going to be fine, and so is it." Ben continues to run his hand along Thomas' back.

[Lovebite]

Thomas closed his eyes,"I hope so... I really do."He held onto Ben's shirt gently with his head against his chest while he rubbed his back. The pain hadn't came back worse, it still felt like braxton hicks,"Go to the kids... I'll be out in a minute."He told him, pulling away gently to let him go.
