Ok so I just saw a TikTok about a woman who found out she was pregnant with their first child a few weeks after her husband left for deployment and she’s like 8 months pregnant now and he’s coming home from deployment finally. I was wondering about Jake in that situation. Like how would he react? I know he’s be devastated to miss most of the pregnancy and not being able to give you a hug when you guys found out. He would have been so attentive and doting during the pregnancy normally, but now he would be SUPER doting to try to make up for lost time. What do you think?

(Feel free to ignore this💕)

Pffffft as if I'd ignore this gold mine.

But like, imagine though.

You waited anxiously in the parking lot, leaning up against your car in a futile effort to ease some of the comfort. It wasn't easy being eight months pregnant. And it wasn't easy having to go through it alone while your husband had been shipped off to god only knows where just before you had found out. And it certainly wasn't easy keeping it a secret from him for that entire time.

You still weren't sure you had done the right thing by not telling him. On one hand, you hadn't wanted him to worry while he was an ocean away, and you definitely didn't want him to worry about you when he was operating a multi-ton machine thousands of feet up in the air. No, the very thought made you sick with worry of your own.

On the other hand...

You opened up the passenger side door, carefully dipping down to grab your water bottle that you had flung in the seat and some Tums for your heartburn. You had just found the bottle of Tums when a pair of strong legs stopped in your peripheral.

"Well, hi there gorgeous."

You jumped, turning to face the man beside you.

"Jake!" you cried, smiling reflexively at the sight of your husband. He beamed down at you as you straightened, tummy still hidden by the car door. Jake leaned in to plant a long, slow kiss to your lips. One turned into two. Two turned into three. Finally, you pulled away from him with a hum, and a pout settled on his lips. "Missed you, baby."

Your heart stuttered. "I missed you too," you replied, cursing at the nerves that made their way into your tone. Jake's brow furrowed.

"You okay, darlin'?" he asked. You shifted your weight as you tried to figure out the best way to tell him. Before you could, Jake rounded the door, stopping when he finally took in your full form. His eyes widened, and his jaw nearly fell to the ground. "What?" he trailed off.

"I wanted to tell you," you rushed out, feeling tears prickle at your eyes. Damn hormones. "I just didn't know how, and it didn't seem like the kind of thing you say over the phone, and I didn't want to worry you, and it's not like you could just up and leave, and-"

Jake didn't seem to be paying attention to your rambling as he stared down your stomach, his gaze full of quiet awe. Slowly, he reached a hand out to place it on your stomach.

"We're having a baby?" he asked quietly. You felt the tears roll down your cheeks before you could stop them.

"Yes," you sobbed. "Oh, Jake. I'm so sorry."

That caught his attention. His eyes snapped up to meet yours. A confused frown tugging at his lips. "What on earth do you have to be sorry for, sweetheart?"

"I should have told you before now," you cried. Jake shook his head, reaching up to cradle your head to his chest as much as your stomach would allow.

"None of that, mama," he cooed, rocking you gently from side to side. "It's me who should be sorry for leaving you here to do this all by yourself."

"It's not like you had a choice," you muttered, nuzzling into his chest. Jake ran a soothing hand over your hair.

"Doesn't matter now," he hummed, pulling away just far enough to see you. "I'm here, and I plan on making up for lost time. Now, let's get home so I can pamper and spoil my beautiful wife that's carrying my baby."

Jake helped you into the passenger seat, making sure you were buckled in securely before jogging over to the other side.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" he asked excitedly as he drove the speed limit home, something completely out of character for your husband.

"A boy," you smiled, rubbing your stomach affectionately.

Jake grinned. "A boy," he breathed with a shake of his head. You were sure his cheeks were sore from how hard he was smiling. "Have you decided on a name?"

You shook your head. "Wanted to wait until you came home so we could decide together."

"What about Jake Junior?"

"Absolutely not," you snort. Jake's smile never faltered as he let out a chuckle.

"That's okay, mama. I've still got a whole month to get you to come around."

Sheldon: "You realize that I'm not a particularly physical person." Amy: "I know." Sheldon: "When I was little and people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I always said, 'A brain! In a jar!'" Amy: "Sure." Sheldon: "But I want to be a good husband to you! Intimacy is a part of that. I'm just worried that if I don't schedule our bedroom endeavors I may not think about them. And you'll grow cold and distant and seek solace in a heavily muscled longshoreman." Amy: "Where would I find a longshoreman?" Sheldon: "Along the shore. It's in the name." Amy: "Sheldon, I could never be with anybody but you." Sheldon: "That's good to know. I wouldn't want to fight a man who is brave enough to touch a fish." Amy: "How's this for a compromise: make all the schedules you want, but just don't tell me about them." Sheldon: "Excellent! I will create an algorithm that'll generate a pseudo random schedule. And do you know why it won't be a true random schedule?" Amy: "Because the generation of true random numbers remains an unsolved problem in computer science." Sheldon: *gasps* "Come with me!" Amy: "Where are we going?" Sheldon: "To the hotel room. I'm going to need you to say that again except naked." Amy: 😮 The Big Bang Theory 12x01 The Conjugal Configuration

I am not a big procrastinator usually but there's some tasks i have been avoiding like the plague so here's a to do list to hold myself accountable. To make it less overwhelming the goal is to complete at least one task each week.

Replace protective glass on phone

Music stuff on phone

Upload travel pictures on laptop

Tattoo plan for real (couting this as done since I might wait to get an appointment around my birthday time, as for the designs and placement and all I am on board with my ideas. The only thing I need to do now is to find time to work more while I also study to have enough money to get inked)

Book appointment to get degree documents

Update reading journal

Start posting the book rec posts i have written like 6 months ago and never posted because i am a fool

Life in Bullet Points:

The minute all the moving stuff was over, I got sick. Funny how our bodies hold out until it's safe to fall apart.

My plan for today is to watch Meet Joe Black and cry about it!

The Christmas tree is already up, but hasn't been lit or decorated since I'm not completely insane. However, it will be lit starting tomorrow. Because I'm Puerto Rican and we boast the longest Christmas in the world.

The more I straighten up this new apartment, the greater the urge to adopt two cats.

As per tradition, I've posted the last chapter of Moratorium today.

Two books I have enjoyed recently: The Candy House by Jennifer Egan and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

*blows nose for the millionth time* I have a job interview next week for a temporary seasonal position. Hoping I'll hear back from the full-time places I applied to before then, but work is work...

Trainwrecks S2 is progressing! I may need to continue to delay fic chapters until it's finished. Don't have a lot of time to get it to my cohort for workshopping.

This morning I cuddled up to my husband and he sleepily made sure the blankets were covering my backside so I'd stay warm. What a guy.

If you're going anywhere tonight, be safe. I hope you all have a wonderful week... *checks the date* weekend.

If we ever get TikTok and CapCut back, I'm making a TikTok just to give this POS country the finger.

Oh god, that reminds me... cheeto fuck's indicted. GREAT.

Just know know that if you voted for that idiot and you bitch about his actions, YOU ASKED FOR IT, YOU DIPSHIT! YOU WANTED THIS!

I'm going to bed. Or I'm going TRY, with insomnia showing me no mercy as of late. Back to unserious in the morning.

(I am never buying anything from mini verse ever again because I don't know if it's the resin that they use or how they go about trying to make these items but nothing seems to cure any of this resin fully enough to the point that anything actually sticks.

(I'm going to see if I can try doing this with my regular UV resin but long story short if you really want to make something from mini verse, toss out the resin they provide and just stick with whatever UV resin you have and do your best color matching. It's probably safer.)
