It was exactly like Dr Sato had said.

The second trimester had been
the best one and new symptoms
had been waiting for Kenma
the moment he had entered
his last trimester.

There were a lot of things he
hated about this but his number
one hated symptom were definitely
the braxton hicks contractions.

Even if they were just
exercise contractions,
they were just so
uncomfortable.

“Kitten.”

Tetsuro frowned when his gaze
fell on his boyfriend who was
busy fighting another contraction
again instead of sorting the screws
like he had offered to do.

They were currently trying their
very best to set up the crib but
while Kuroo was kinda lost with
everything, Kenma couldn't really
concentrate because of the
stupid contractions.

“Hm?”

The blonde looked up at his
boyfriend for a brief moment before
he shut his eyes and scrunched up
his face, hand instinctively going to
his baby bump as he winced.

“Maybe you should lay down
for a bit, hm? You said you didn't
sleep well because of the
contractions, right?”

Kuroo sighed as he shuffled closer
and cupped the younger's cheek
while he placed his other hand
over Kenma's on his tummy.

Their baby wasn't really a big fan
of these stupid contractions either,
they'd always shift in discomfort
and then they wouldn't budge for
hours as if they were sulking.

“We need to get the crib done though.
Are you sure you can do that alone?”

Kenma answered with a tired
smile when the contraction was
finally over and leaned into the
warm touch of his boyfriend when
Kuroo caressed his cheek.

“I'm not sure but I'm very sure
that I'd like you to rest. I'll try to

finish the crib alone and if I get
stuck at some point, we'll continue
together when you're feeling
better, okay?”

But the blonde only sighed.

With the continuous progress
of his pregnancy he felt
continuously more useless too.

The past school week had already
tired him out so much that he had
often already fallen asleep while
waiting for Kuroo to finish practice.

On friday he had even ditched
practice to get home as fast as
possible just to sleep until his
mother had woken him
up for dinner.

And now he couldn't even find
the energy to set up his baby's crib,
even if it was the only productive
thing he had been supposed
to do today.

Well, he couldn't even sort the
screws according to the plan.

Kuroo hadn't allowed him to lift
the big, wooden parts or to
even fold the package.

“Come on, let's get you to bed,
little kitten. You're already doing
enough growing our mini human,
hm?”

The ravenette cooed when
Kenma didn't protest as he helped
him get up and over to his bed.

But the younger boy couldn't
help but whine when his boyfriend
tucked him in and squished his
cheeks (they've gotten so chubby
thanks to the pregnancy) before
placing a soft peck on the
tip of Kenma's nose.

“I'll just lay down for a bit but I'll be
watching you so you don't mess up.”

The blonde chuckled sleepily and
blushed when Kuroo pressed a kiss
on his cheek before he got up again.

“Sure sure, kitten.”

When Kenma fluttered his eyes
open after a nice one hour nap,
a soft smile immediately grew
on his face at the sight of his
boyfriend working on the almost
completely done crib.

“You're almost done.”

He spoke softly before a yawn
escaped him, making Kuroo almost
melt at the younger's cuteness.

Sleepy Kenma always looked
like a fuzzy, tired baby cat.

“Hi kitten.
You're awake.”

“Mhm.”

The blonde smiled and stretched
his legs a bit, a cute whine escaping
him when he felt his baby stretch too.

“Gosh, why are you so cute?!
I swear, you're continuously
getting cuter.”

Tetsuro sighed as he dramatically
placed his hand on his chest before
he got up just to cup his boyfriend's
cheek and to pepper Kenma's face
with little kisses.

“Kuroo! I-it tickles!”

“I know, that's the point.”

The ravenette chuckled and
squished his boyfriend's cheeks,
making him pout like a little
duckling before pressing a soft
kiss on those pouty lips.

And even if he wanted,
Kenma couldn't escape the affection.

“Did you sleep well?
You looked so peaceful.”

Kuroo smiled as he caressed the
younger's cheek when Kenma
looked at him with rosy cheeks
and a soft smile.

“I did. I feel better now.
It's difficult to get comfortable
lately because baby keeps getting

unhappy no matter how I lay down.”

“Poor kitten.”

It was true.

Laying on his back was out of
question because their child would
get heavy on his spine rather quickly.

And laying on his side meant
changing sides quite often because
it felt like there was not a single
position their mini human would
stay comfy for a while.

Kenma secretly looked forward
to the moment their baby would
sleep in their crib so they could
toss and turn as much as they
wanted without squishing their
papa's intestines.

“My pretty kitten.”

Tetsuro smiled and pressed a soft
kiss on his boyfriend's forehead
before he let go of his face to turn
his attention back to the crib.

“I think it's almost done.
Let me just..”

The ravenette opened the last
unsealed package to pull out the
little mattress before and placed
it neatly in the crib.

And Kenma couldn't help but
smile when his boyfriend carried
the now finished crib over so he
could place it on the spot right
beside the blonde's bed where
it'd stay from now on.

“Let's test this.”

A soft giggle escaped the younger
boy when his boyfriend grabbed
the cat plushie to place it in the
crib before he made himself
comfortable behind Kenma on
the bed, throwing his arm over
the smaller's waist to caress
his baby bump gently.

“Kitten.”

“Hm?”

“I think our baby there
wants some cuddles.”

Tetsuro chuckled as he pointed
at the cat plushie that was staring
at them through the bars and pressed
a soft kiss behind Kenma's ear.

“You're probably right.
We can't have that, right?”

The blonde joined and reached
out to unlock the mechanism that
allowed him to pull down the side
of the crib that was facing him.

And when Kenma grabbed his
plushie just to hug it to his chest,
Kuroo couldn't help but coo softly.

“Our baby definitely took after you.”

“Because it's a cat?”

“And because it's cute.”

He smiled and pressed a short kiss
on his boyfriend's blushy cheek,
his hand never leaving its place
on their actual baby's home.
