Chelsey was in the apartment alone, cleaning. She couldn't explain it, since the apartment was basically already clean except for some dishes to be done and a pile of dirty laundry. Her black hair was pulled up into a messy bun/pony tail that hung to just about her neck. She was wearing a tanktop that was loose on her stomach as it was easily noticeable now, and some black shorts.
She stood over the sink and sunk her hands back into the hot water, a fan was blowing on her. She was very warm, and wearing very thin clothing to let the heat out. "This sucks..." She muttered and finished up with the last couple of dishes, drying them off and putting them away. She walked away to pick up the few pieces of laundry that were lying around. Everything was clean, yet she still felt compelled to clean. "Arg!" She groaned and walked over to the baby's room that wasn't yet done. Her doctor said one more month and she wasn't sure if she could actually make it. She leaned on the door, looking in at the half done nursery. She sighed and walked in as she waited for either Aiden or Lelia and Mercy to come in.
As she moved about in the nursery, she picked up and moved things about. She was slowly moving tools and things to one side and in a nice neat pile. She felt a sharp pain in her side, but it went away quickly so she passed it off as a simple kick. She continued to move stuff around till everything was neat in the room, the compulsion finally gone as she leaned against the door frame with her hands on her stomach.

Aiden came into the apartment with a couple of bags in his hands. He wanted to finish the baby's room as soon as possible and had been out to the store to grab the last of what would be needed. He was wearing a pair of black runners and baggy jean shorts with gray t-shirt. His hair was tousled and somewhat spiky as usual and his gray eyes had a slight gleam to them.
He sighed as his eyes took in the apartment, closing the door behind him. Somehow it was even more clean then when he had left. Lelia had taken Rudi out for a little while with Mercy while Chels was cleaning. "Chels?" he called, walking down the hall. He found her by the baby's room and smiled at her, kissing her on the cheek. "You alright?" he asked, going into the room and setting the bags down. He walked back over to her and kissed her on the lips quickly, placing one of his hands on her hip and the other on her stomach.

Chelsey turned to look towars the sound of her name being called, it was Aiden with the rest of the supplies for the baby's room. "Oh...I'm fine," Her voice was very sarcastic, "Just my back hurts, I get overwhelming compulsions to clean or even eat nachoes, and it's extremely hot." She had asarcastic smile on her face now too, "Oh, yeah I'm just dandy." She stopped being sarcasitc and just leaned on his shoulder with her face buried in his neck.
She stood up and looked at him, "I think I'll have more peace of mind with the room done. Need any help?" She didn't want to just sit and watch him finish it cause then she'd be thinking about the stuff that he would have lying around the mess he would be making.

Aiden smiled as she complained. "I see nothing wrong with overwhelming compulsions to eat nachos," he said with a laugh. "Happens to me all the time." He looked around at the room as she said this, trying to think of something she could do.
The walls were done, he just had to put covers over the electrical sockets then he had to put in the ceiling light. When that was done he would be able to lay down the carpet then they could get all the furniture and things in and set up. After that would be all the small things the baby would need.
"Uhh," he said, letting out a breath of air. "You could hang the... Umm... You can help... Hmm... How about... No... Hmph... Aha! Wait... No..." He really couldn't think of anything he actually wanted her to do. He didn't want her to get hurt or hurt the baby. His brows knitted together in thought...

"Ah, but here's the thing, you like them...I still find them repulsive." Chelsey smiled and waited to see if she could do something. "I'm not totally useless." She stared at him wide eyed when he couldn't come up with something for her to do. "I stil have my powers after all." Her lips were pursed as she put her hands on her hips. She wasn't overly mad as she could understand his concern, but still wanted to help in some way.

Aiden sighed and looked from the room and all the tools lying around then back to her. "Fine," he said. "But don't touch... anything with your hands." He was completely serious too. "I don't want you to get electrocuted or anything. You can put the covers over the electrical sockets... use your powers please." He kissed her lips and smiled. He knew she was perfectly capable of doing this kind of stuff... but he wouldn't let her when she was pregnant. He handed her the stuff and cocked a brow at her before he went into the room and set up the ladder beneath where they were replacing the ceiling light to one more suitable for a baby's room.

"Alright..." Chelsey sighed and took the little plastic covers and was twirling them around in the air. "If you make a mess, please don't let me see it." She had to stand in the doorway watching him, in case he did fall off the ladder. She was lazily sending the covers around the room to the sockets they belonged in. "You really think I'd get hurt doing this?" The words barely made it out of her mouth when a pain hit her side and disappeared. Her hand went to her side and a pained look shot across her face before disappearing.

Aiden was up on the ladder when he looked over at Chels and saw the look on her face. He was by her side again in an instant. "Are you ok? What happened?" he asked, his eyes wide. "Did you hurt yourself? Maybe you shouldn't over exert yourself. Do you need something? Should I call the doctor? Maybe you should sit down." He had an urgent, worried look on his face.

Chelsey simply shook her head, placing a single finger on his lips as he kept asking her questions. "I'm fine, I'll feel better with the room done. We still have a month..." She smiled, jokingly. Something told her that her month was coming to an end before it even began. "I think I will lie down." She gave him a soft kiss on the cheek and made her way to the couch and lied down, her eyes closed. "I just want the room done..."

Aiden pursed his lips a little as she put a finger over them and nodded. He watched her go lay down and then went back into the room. "I'm on it..." he said, cracking his knuckles. It didn't take him very long to put in the new light. He worked quickly and sufficiently, finishing it in just a few minutes. He checked to make sure it worked and was tight enough on there.
With a sigh, he climbed down the ladder and and put it out in the hall to get it out of the way. He was almost done. Well, kinda. He still had to put everything together and lay down the carpet. He started then to clean up and get everything that he didn't need out of the room for the moment before he pulled out the carpet, ready to lay it down.

Chelsey just laid there staring up at the ceiling. She hated not being able to do anything to help him get the room ready. She got up and walked back over to the room watching. There was a small mess but she ignored it and watched as he moved stuff out of the way. She stayed well out of his way so that he could maneuver everything. "With the carpet down, it's basically done."

Aiden looked over at her as he layed out the carpet and put it in. "Yeah," he said with a small grunt. "But the kid's gonna need furniture in here too." He smiled and started to carry the different boxes in. "No son or daughter of mine is gonna go without a crib or bed to sleep in." He started to pull things from the boxes and tossed the directions to the side, deciding he wouldn't need them.

"I said it was basically done, not completed." Chelsey would have smiled but she was still unsure as she watched him throw the directions aside. "Just don't lose them if you do need them." She stood in the doorway now leaning on it. Her face was set in an unreadable expression. "I'm going to change..." She walked into their bedroom and sat on the bed staring at the closet.

Aiden looked up at her and cocked a brow as she told him not to lose the directions. "Ok," he said as she said she was going to go get changed. "Don't fall!" he called after her, smiling slightly. He started to put the crib together, making sure it was nice and sturdy. He stood back and looked at his handy work, checking the directions to make sure it looked right. "You ok in there?" he called to Chels as he started to drag out the changing table...

Chelsey had changed in the mean time into a halter top and some other black long shorts. "Not even funny!" She called to him, her hand on the edge of the closet. "Do want an honest answer?" Her teeth were gritted together as she had one hand on the wall and the other at the bottom of her belly. "How about getting in here!"
