Nolan got out of the car with the help of his partner breathing deeply. He held his stomach tightly.
"Oh..." he gasped as he supported himself with Thomas "It hurts..."

[Whoknows]

Thomas looked at Nolan’s belly, noticing it had massively dropped. It was very low down and looked like if it got any lower it would be touching his knees. “Let me try something”, he murmured, putting his hand underneath the belly and lifting it up a little. Once he heard Nolan’s noises of approval, he knew it was a good idea.

[justpush]

Nolan sighed quietly and growled quietly when he felt a sharp pain in his loins.
"Thomas..." he wheezed and grabbed him tighter by the shoulder. Behind them walked his parents with their bags. A nurse came to their aid. She immediately directed them to a room.

[Whoknows]

Once they reached the room, the nurse started handing Thomas some birth gowns and was told to help Nolan get them on. As soon as she left, he walked over to Nolan, who had his hands on the wall and was saying. “Do you want to put these on yet?”, he asked, rubbing Nolan’s back.

[justpush]

Nolan nodded. He stood up with a groan and stood let with the help of his partner.
"It won't be long now..." he muttered as Thomas tied the shirt around his back "I'm so scared, Thomas."

[Whoknows]

“I know baby”, Thomas murmured, “but it’ll be worth it in the end, when you can hold them in your arms”. As he finished tying the gown, he stepped back to look at it, “I wonder why they make you wear these”.

[justpush]

"Maybe it's so I don't show my charms to everyone?" he joked briefly as he sat down on the bed. He held Thomas' hand, breathing deeply

[Whoknows]

Thomas chuckled, moving to sit next to Nolan. “Y’know, I think you’re handling this perfectly”, he said, “people are probably screaming by now”.

[justpush]

Nolan looked at him and caught his hand resting his forehead against his shoulder.
"Don't worry... I'll scream too," he promised him, and then Nolan's mother walked in.
"Honey..." she knelt in front of them "We'll fill out the papers for you. I leave you in the care of Thomas.... We'll wait in the waiting room. Here are your things and here are the baby's" she handed over two bags "We love you..." she kissed her son, then stroked Thomas' shoulder "Take care of them, okay?"

[Whoknows]

Thomas laughed looking at Nolan, “as long as it’s not at me”, he joked, looking up as Nolan’s parents walked in. “Of course, I will take off him”, he promised.

He looked over at Nolan once his parent’s had left, “if you need anything, tell me and I will happily do it and I mean anything”, he started, “if you want something to eat, I’ll get it and if you need me to do anything to help the pain, I’ll do it. Even if I had to walk up and down the halls for hours, with you”.

[justpush]

Nolan looked at him seriously. He grasped Thomas's hand and took a deep breath. He let the air out slowly.
"It's ok..." he began and with his help stood up slowly and put his arm around his neck "Massage my back, please," he whispered quietly.
While he was balancing snuggled up like this, he leaned into his ear.
"You know... You said it so seriously... As if you were going to propose to me," he replied with a slight smile

[Whoknows]

Thomas chuckled, tension visibly leaving his face. He began to massage Nolan’s back, kneading into the tight knots that the heavy belly caused. He took comfort in this position, Nolan’s arms around him and the baby in his belly being pushed into his own. He felt comfortable and loved. He realised he really truly loves Nolan.

“It’s because I love you and I hate to see you in pain”, he revealed.

[justpush]

There was a moment of silence.
"Are you going to tell me something I don't already know?" he whispered quietly as he lifted his head and looked into his eyes. His gaze expressed a multitude of emotions. "I'm crazy about you too, Mr. Neighbor," he added, and with a small sigh he laid his head back on his shoulder "Now keep massaging please.... Help me give birth to this baby."

[Whoknows]

Thomas laughed, shaking his head. He continued the massage and occasionally tried out massaging the bump.

[justpush]

Nolan sighed heavily, feeling growing fatigue and pains. He leaned against his beloved or lay on his side, letting Thomas massage his loins.
"Mhm... It hurts," he groaned quietly while breathing methodically "Has my midwife arrived yet?" asked Thomas

[Whoknows]

“Shit?”, he exclaimed, “we walked meant to message her”. He pulled out his phone and messaged the midwife letting her know what room number they were in. “I doubt she will be long”, he said.

[justpush]

"Don't curse Thomas," he asked quietly as he bit his lip and tried to withstand the pain when he got a strong cramp. He clenched his hand on the sheet. He breathed deeply. "Ahhh..." he moaned, feeling his muscles contract.

[Whoknows]

“Sorry”, Thomas apologised and chuckled, he had forgotten Nolan didn’t like him to swear. “Don’t buts your lip”, he said, pulling Nolan’s lip from his teeth, “you don’t wanna bite through it”.

Thomas held into Nolan’s hand, letting him squeeze it through the contraction, “I wonder how far along you are”.

[justpush]

Nolan took a deep breath and sighed heavily. Immediately afterward, he grabbed tighter onto Thomas' arm to gently sit up.
"Do you want to test it?" he asked and lightly began balancing his hips on the bed "I could use a ball," he muttered, remembering the video where the experts recommended jumping on a rubber ball.

[Whoknows]

“How would we test it?”, Thomas wondered out loud. He opened a closet door wondering if it had one in like the birth videos they had watched to prepare. And there was. He grabbed it and put it in the floor, next to the bed.
