(sorry. I also got sick and things got busy in school. I'll share some ideas in this post and just choose what you want to do first.)

Elliot didn't hear the door open, nor when Alex asked him if he was okay. He was in mid shock/mid pain in experiencing his first Braxton contractions to notice. He only became aware of his Love's presence when suddenly arms enveloped him and he could then feel the familiar warmth of his lover. "Alex..." He shakily let out a brief sigh of relief.

The contraction only lasted for about a minute before disappearing. Finally, Elliot can breathe more and relax against Alex. Their hands joined on his belly, rubbing together the now untensed huge orb of his. Plus to feel the once awake babies. Elliot was still winded out from the experience and asked if they could rest on the couch.

"Thank you, love. That was my first Braxton. I admit I was scared at first but then I realized what was going on and I'm just happy you were there when it happened. It felt so real but not." Elliot shifted to find a more comfortable position while still leaning on Alex. "They're almost here, Alex. It's happening. We'll be parents soon."

His hand was caressing his belly and he had this fond look on his face as he did. "We still need to name them. And oh, they also need their nursery to be ready soon. They haven't also been properly acquainted with your parents. So much to do in so little time left."He laughed weakly. Elliot then stilled his hand but his eyes still gazed on bump. "I hope you're not being too overwhelmed with all this, hon. Because honestly, it's getting to me a little."

(Tell if Elliot's becoming too needy or dramatic.)
