*Johnny's P.O.V*

As Nessie went into her second month of pregnancy we started to look at designs for the nursery. Nessie was so full of happiness and excitement about the baby. I never told her about my jealousy or my nightmares, she was so happy about all this; I couldn't ruin it for her. I felt like we were growing apart though, we hadn't made love in a month and I was beginning to feel like she didn't notice me anymore.

I stood out on the balcony of our cave watching the fear lights float around in the underground.

Then I heard it, an unfamiliar giggling.

"Ha-ha!" it said "Hee-hee!"

I followed my ears to the kitchen where I found Nessie eating a pint of ice cream and dancing around the kitchen to the music on the radio. She had her back to me, I crept closer to her and then she twirled and saw me.

She jumped. "Oh god! You scared me" she laughed.

"Looks like someone gave into their cravings" I said in a sing-song voice, looking at the ice cream in her hand. "You know that's not good for the baby."

"What if I shared it with you?" she said, holding out the ice cream to me like I was a hungry lion and the ice cream was a steak.

"I'm not hungry for ice cream" I smirked.

"Really? Well, we got some brownies too?"

"I'm hungry for you" my smirk grew and I grabbed her by the waist and ran for the couch.

I dropped her on the couch and began to kiss her fiercely and passionately. She kissed me back...

... Then it happened.

Her stomach grew, and not from the ice cream she was eating. It blew up like a balloon! She looked like she was ready to pop.

She took notice right away; she pushed me off gently and ran to the bathroom mirror.

She squealed. "Johnny! I got my baby bump!" she shouted from the bathroom.

"Oh, really?" I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.

"Yes!" she said, jumping with excitement.

"Great" I said frowning.

Nessie ran back into the living room and kissed my cheek. I continued to frown and she didn't even notice.

She rubbed her now swollen belly. "Do you like it?" she asked showing it off to me.

"Yeah" I forced a smile "it's great."

"Daddy's sad" said the unfamiliar voice that was giggling before.

"What?" I asked Nessie.

"What?" she repeated.

"You said something" I told her.

"No I didn't" she shrugged.

"I'm gonna go lie down for a bit" I said getting up to go to our bedroom.

"Okay" she shrugged, smiling.

I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes. I could hear it even more when I closed my eyes, a little voice in my head, calling me...

"Daddy? Daddy? Why are you so sad Daddy?" it asked.

It was the baby! The second month was when the father can hear the baby's thoughts! I tried to ignore it, but it just kept getting louder.

"You love us, don't you Daddy?" it said "Because we love you! Oh yes, we love OUR DADDY!"

I put my hands over my ears trying to block it out, but nothing worked.

Then I heard something that was familiar. I took my hands off of my ears.

"JOHNNY!" Nessie was screaming my name.

I ran into the living room and found Nessie on the couch holding her swollen stomach, a pool of vomit by her side.

"Nessie? Nessie, what's wrong?" I asked worried.

"I don't know what happened" she cried, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I just got so sick all of a sudden! Johnny, please! Get me to a doctor!"

That was all I needed to hear, I picked her up bridal style and ran her to the hospital.
