Aimee POV

With the wedding a few weeks away I wasn't feeling like the excited blushing bride or expectant mother, if anything I was feeling completely useless.
At just over 7 months pregnant I insecurities about my body and how I looked but what was really bothering me was everyone treating me like some kind of invalid.

The discomfort I had in May back was now also in my hips, my doctor had assured me it was perfectly normal and nothing to worry about, however that didn't stop Joe, my Uncle or Shane going in excessive overprotective mode.

I was still working but they wanted me to stay glued to my desk, Joe was bringing me to work and was bringing all my meals to me instead. My Uncle instead of calling me to his office was coming to me in wardrobe or he would come to our room and then there was Shane, he spending more time in wardrobe than he ever has and all to make sure I don't try to deliver any gear to anyone.

"Alright I'm going to go see Charlotte I need to make sure this fits" Sandra says standing up from her table "will you be alright while I'm gone, do you need me to get you anything?"

"No, unless you can find me a new family" I sigh "mine is getting on my last nerve"

"I know it's frustrating but they all mean well" she smiles placing a hand on my shoulder "they all love you, especially Joe, that boy is head over heels"

"I know I just wish they would let me do something, anything" I sigh "I feel so useless"

"I won't be long" she smiles "I'll bring you back something sweet"

Sandra leaves and I gaze around the room and my eyes fall on something, Dean's gear he brought to be repaired. I had finished it and so far there had been no sign of Shane. Getting out of my seat I walk over to the rail and grab the jeans.

I open the door and check the coast is clear before heading towards the locker room he shares with Joe. Pushing the door open gently I see Dean but no sign of Joe.

"Hey Dean, I brought you Jeans back" I say handing them over to him

"Hey Aims, Joe is just in the shower you want me to go get him" he asks

"No please dont" I say taking seat on the bench "I'm hoping I can get out of here before he sees me"

"Trouble in paradise?" He asks and I chuckle

"No he's just being ridiculously overprotective becuase I'm getting a little bit of pain in my back and hips" I sigh "he won't let me do anything and on top of that I feel like a beached whale" I say starting to sob

"Hey don't get upset" he says sitting beside me and wrapping an arm around my shoulders "first of all you are nothing like a beached whale, you are a beautiful glowing mother to be and second Joe loves you more than anything and he just wants to look after you"

"I get that I really do but I feel so useless" I say wiping my eyes "and I'm finding that I don't want to be around him and I hate that becuase I love him so much"

"Come here" he says pulling me into a hug as best he can "deany hugs always make people feel better" he says and I instantly find myself chuckling "see it's working already"

"Hey babygirl, what are you doing here?" Joe asks and when I turn to look at him he's wearing nothing but a towel and a beautiful smile.

"Oh I was just bringing Dean the jeans I repaired for him" I say and his smile disappears

"Where's Shane? Why didn't he bring them?" He asks as he pulls on his boxers

"Becuase I am perfectly capable of walking to you locker room Joe" I say standing up "I'm not an invaild"

"I know but you need to be careful" he says "especially with your back and hips"

"You know what I can't take this anymore" I sigh "I think it's best if I stay with Steph and Paul for a bit" I say and his face falls completely, he walks over to me, a deep sadness in his eyes and takes my hand in his.

"Please don't leave me babygirl, I love you" he says looking into my eyes "I'm nothing without you"

"I can't keep doing this Joe, I feel so useless becuase none of you will let me do anything" I sigh "Our sex life is non existent for reasons I don't know and I miss being with you"

"Ahem, erm still here" Dean says

"Sorry Dean, I'm going to go now anyway" I say before turning back to Joe.

"Wait don't go let me explain" he says "I know I've been overprotective but that's only becuase I love you and I hate seeing you in pain, I never meant make you feel useless I just wanted you to be in as little pain as possible" he sighs "and the reason I haven't made a move lately is becuase I'm scared it will hurt you in some way and I only want you to feel pleasure when your with me"

"Erm again I'm still here" Dean says interrupting us once again

"Then walk your ass out of the room" Joe growls "can't you see I'm trying to stop the love of my life from leaving me"

"Joe calm down, Dean would you mind giving us a few minutes" I say and nodding he leaves the room "Joe you don't need to stop me leaving you becuase that's not what I'm doing, I just wanted a break, I love you but I'm frustrated and honestly I was beginning  to worry you didn't find me attractive anymore"

"Babygirl nothing could be further from the truth" he says "the sight of your pregnant body turns me on like you wouldn't believe, you are beautiful and I will always find you attractive"

Joe walks over to the locker room door and locks it before turning back to me.

"Baby what are you doing?" I ask with a chuckle as he takes me in his arms

"I've told you, and now I'm going to show you" he says pressing his lips against mine in a lingering kiss "now all I want you to do is relax and enjoy"
