23. Wake Up Call
Chapter 23
Wake Up Call
Tatum || 32 weeks pregnant, January
“A lright, so the little dude is measuring a bit bigger than we’d expect at this point. So he could come in two weeks, he could come in six or he could make us wait a little longer.” Dr. Freyer tells us from her place beside the bed.
“So, what you are saying is we need to be prepared for his arrival because it could be anytime now?” I ask nervously, clenching and unclenching my fists that are concealed in my pockets.
“That is correct. You all will be parents soon!” Dr. Freyer claps excitedly.
“I, for one, am ready to give this little guy his eviction notice.” Darcy chuckles, rubbing her stomach affectionately.
“You’ll have an appointment at thirty-six weeks, and if you make it past that, then you’ll have an appointment weekly. If we get to forty weeks and he still hasn’t made his appearance, then we will start to talk about induction,” says Dr. Freyer in closing.
“Sounds good, let’s hope he makes the decision to move out on his terms.” I smile at her, helping Darcy off the vinyl table and walking with her to the front desk, our hands intertwined to schedule our last few appointments.

After our appointment Thursday afternoon, Darcy and I drove over to the beach bungalow for what she’s calling our ‘babymoon’. She explained it as a sort of honeymoon, but before the baby is born.
Laying in a lounge chair on the beach, her skin is bronzed from all the time she’s been spending outside. Her breathing is slow and even. I know she needed this getaway weekend. The tension with her Mom at the baby shower cast a shadow on her mood and the last thing I want six weeks before the birth of our son, is for Darcy to be stressed. So, what better escape is there than her happy place?
Truthfully, the time away has been nice for me, too. Not only to relax and spend some time alone with Darcy, but one of the only places I feel like I can think clearly is here. Sitting with sand between my toes and the sun just hot enough to have me breaking a sweat, before I eventually dive into the waves and cool off.
“Want to go for a swim?” Darcy asks, squinting over at me, her sunkissed cheeks and brown eyes swirling with gold tones. They seem so much more vibrant under the glow of the sun.
“Yes, I was just thinking I was getting too warm.” I stand, dusting the sand from my legs, and go to help her out of the chair, keeping my fingers tangled in hers as we make our way into the water.
“Come here, Mama.” I open my arms to her because she’s standing too far away from me, and I want her close. She happily complies. I kiss her then turn her away from me so that I can hold her against me but as soon as her ass makes contact with my cock, he stands at attention. “Sorry.”
“For what?” She chuckles, wiggling her ass against me knowing exactly what I’m apologizing for.
“Don’t test me, I’ve been thinking about tearing this scrap of fabric you call a bathing suit off of you all day.” I murmur in her ear, quiet enough that the families swimming ten feet away from us can’t hear me, “I wouldn’t hesitate to untie this and bury myself in you right now, if it weren’t for the people around us. That, and the fact that you wouldn’t be able to stay quiet for me.”
“I think I’m ready for my afternoon delight.” She feigns a yawn, leaning her head back against my shoulder and I grip her hip a little tighter, keeping her close to me.
“Haha, very funny. You and I both know that you need an afternoon nap, not an afternoon delight.”
“You’re right.” She chuckles, pulling away from me and swiveling from side to side a bit.
“How are you feeling?”
“My back is killing me,” she groans.
“Come here, lay back. The water should help alleviate some of the pressure, I’ll keep you in place.” She moves towards me, letting her body relax backwards into the water and I place my arms beneath her back, letting the water do a majority of the work.
“This is nice, how did you know it would help?” She squints up at me, the sigh of relief that leaves her mouth is like music to my ears.
“Just been doing my research.”
“Research.” She continues to grill me with just a stare.
“Yes, the internet is a very informative place when you’ve never been a parent or with a pregnant woman before.” I shrug, feigning nonchalance. She doesn’t respond, instead letting her body relax.
Darcy yawns again a few moments later, bringing herself upright again. “I do think I need a nap, don’t keep me waiting too long.”
She brushes her lips lightly on mine before heading inside. I stay out in the water for a few more minutes, taking it all in; the sounds of the waves crashing into the sand, the birds chirping, and the children laughing help to soothe my racing heart. I haven’t gotten used to her so openly sharing her affection with me, still struggling with feelings of inadequacy. Laying back, I let myself float with my thoughts until my limbs feel like noodles and I realize I have been wading in the water too long.
By the time I get inside, Darcy is already snoring softly in the bed. After quickly showering off any beachy remnants, I join her, letting myself drift off to sleep.
The next thing I know, I find myself groaning in pleasure, only to discover that there is warm, wet heat enveloping my cock. Thinking at first that I must be dreaming, when I find the strength to open my eyes and wake myself, I find that the warm, wet heat is very real and Darcy’s mouth is swallowing my cock. Her brown eyes hooded with pleasure meet mine as she continues to bob up and down.
“You are so pretty like this.” I manage, one hand caressing her cheek and then moving to the back of her head to guide her. She moans around my dick, coaxing extra warmth to build up my spine. “Baby, you have to stop, or I’m going to cum in your mouth.”
She takes me to the back of her throat again before backing off for a breather ”I wanted to make you feel good.”
“But I want to make you feel good, Mama.” I throw back at her, testing the waters to see what she’s in the mood for. She lazily continues to stroke me as we speak. When Darcy joked about the abstinence phase, she wasn’t joking. My hand and I have been getting along just fine in the meantime. When she does want me, I don’t deny her but I have to admit that it’s been a while, and fuck have I missed this.
“To be honest, I just want to do this for you. I’m not feeling very sexy right now,” she confides while jerking me, sounding almost frustrated with herself.
“I think you look sexy as fuck, but I understand you’ve been uncomfortable recently.”
“I have but your dick was poking me in the back after our nap and I wanted to touch you and that… Turned into this.” Her cheeks pinken before she takes me into her mouth again, effectively ending the conversation. It isn’t long before I’m shooting down her throat, she swallows every drop so beautifully.

“Your bath is ready, Mama, then how about a foot rub while we watch Gilmore Girls?” I ask, entering her room with her emotional support water bottle in one hand and a bowl of mixed berries, granola, and yogurt in the other. Darcy still seemed beat after our little escapade earlier and I couldn’t think of a better opportunity to relax than snacks and a bath. This also gives me time to cook her favorite dinner—lasagna, garlic bread, and salad, hold the onions.
“Oh, thank you! Help me in?” She smiles at me, lifting the comforter off. As she peels herself out of bed, she’s still naked from earlier and I just can’t give enough of her body this way. “Stop looking at me like that.”
“Like what?” I wiggle my eyebrows at her before she rolls her eyes and I’m trailing her to the bathroom.
“Like you want to get me pregnant?”
“Already did that Mama and fully intend to do it again.” I grin widely at her, setting her water and parfait next to her Kindle and phone on the tub caddy.
“Well, you can’t… Not right now at least. Maybe in a few years.”
“You mean I have to wait years to see you like this again?” I groan, approaching her from behind and making it a point to let her know what her body, vibrant with life, does to my dick.
“Tate.” Pushing back into me, she moans, “Not tonight.”
“I know baby, you need to relax. I just didn’t want you to forget how fucking sexy you are.” I spin her, planting a chaste kiss on her lips then holding her steady as she steps into the tub and leaving her to soak.
