Riccardo gave in, following Gabriele into the bedroom and lying down beside him on the bed. “The view is beautiful, huh? But if I had to choose, I’d rather look at you,” he said, pulling Gabriele into his arms and gently rubbing his swollen belly.

At Riccardo’s words, Gabriele turned to look at him, chuckling as he lightly smacked his husband’s chest. “There you go again. Always flirting.” His belly got slightly in the way of their embrace, but Gabriele didn’t find it particularly bothersome. The warmth of Riccardo’s body was far too comforting. “It feels so nice being held by you like this.”

Riccardo couldn’t take his eyes off the handsome, heavily pregnant man resting in his arms. He laughed softly at Gabriele’s remark before replying, “No, love. I’m not flirting. I mean it.” The comfort Gabriele felt was something he shared. “Don’t let go, okay? I like holding you. I’ve missed spoiling you and being close to you.” His hand drifted down from Gabriele’s belly, occasionally squeezing his buttocks.

“Of course, babe. I’m not letting go.” A quiet sound escaped Gabriele when he felt Riccardo’s touch against his butt which was rather not big.

Riccardo reached for Gabriele’s hand and guided it to his chest. “Rub my chest for me, sweetheart.” The sight of Gabriele’s body, especially with his large belly, often sent Riccardo’s desire soaring without warning. Even now, his cock erected. Heat rose to his face as his thoughts instantly filled with images of his husband’s naked body with his legs spreading wide.

Suddenly, Gabriele felt a strong movement inside his belly. He had noticed his stomach tightening the night before, but he’d assumed it was just a false contraction. “Ssh — don’t kick so hard, sweetheart. Daddy’s being spoiled by your Papa right now.”

“Love, what’s wrong? Are you hurting?” Riccardo asked immediately when he heard Gabriele whimper. He carefully stroked the rounded curve of his belly.

Only after the ache subsided did Gabriele finally began stroking Riccardo’s chest with the hand resting there. “The baby moved just now, so it stung a little. It’s fine now, though.” Privately, Gabriele couldn’t help feeling a little uneasy. They were still on their honeymoon and far away from the city they lived in.

“When’s the baby due again? Next week, right?” Riccardo asked with a smile, wanting to make sure. His hand, which had been caressing Gabriele’s belly moments earlier, slowly moved lower and brushed against rubbing the pregnant man’s shaft, which had stiffened perfectly.

Gabriele let out a soft sigh and nodded in response to Riccardo’s question. “Yeah. If we go by the doctor’s estimate, it should be next week.” His erect cock twitched at Riccardo’s touch.

A smile spread across Riccardo’s face when he felt the reaction beneath his hand. “I think you mentioned wanting a home birth before, didn’t you? Do you still want to try that, love? Hopefully the baby waits until we get home from this trip.” He stroked Gabriele’s cheek and pressed a loving kiss against it, his smile widening.

“I do,” Gabriele replied. “I talked to my doctor before we left, and they said it should be possible. We’ll just need to make sure everything’s prepared — the equipment and all that.” A faint blush colored his cheeks from the affection Riccardo was showing him.

“Then that’s what we’ll do. Whatever you think is best, I’m with you.” Riccardo leaned in and kissed him again before resting a hand on his round belly. “Don’t worry. I’ll be right there with you. I’m not letting you go through any of it alone.” A soft laugh accompanied his words. “Love you.”

After the kiss, Gabriele smiled warmly at his husband and nodded, covering the hand resting on his belly with his own. “Yeah. I don’t want to do it without you either.” He returned the affection with a sweet kiss on Riccardo’s cheek. “I love you more.” Just as he settled back into the comfort of the moment, enjoying the quiet intimacy between them, a sudden tightness gripped his abdomen. At the same time, his dick was twitching again. His hand instinctively tightened around Riccardo’s. “MMMNHH — ”

Riccardo immediately looked at him. “Huh? What is it, love?”

Letting go of Riccardo’s hand, Gabriele rubbed his stomach until the wave of pain eased slightly. His face had lost much of its earlier warmth, replaced by unmistakable concern. “It’s tightening, Ric. My stomach hurts.” He cradled the underside of his belly, which had dropped noticeably during the final month of pregnancy.

Riccardo carefully watched everything happening to his husband. His concern deepened as he noticed the physical signs accompanying Gabriele’s discomfort. While those symptoms could occur during pregnancy because of hormonal changes, they could also signal the beginning of labor. He sat up immediately and placed both hands on Gabriele’s belly. The lower part felt remarkably firm beneath his palms. “Is it really bad, love? Do you think you might be going into labor already?” His voice carried growing worry. “But the doctor said you still had another week.”

Gabriele shook his head while allowing Riccardo to continue rubbing his belly. Another painful wave rolled through him, drawing a strained groan from his throat. “NNNGGHHHH… it hurts, Ric. I don’t know if it’s labor or something else.” He briefly bit his lip as his body shifted restlessly against the mattress, trying to cope with the pain. His breathing became increasingly audible as he focused on regulating it. “HAAAHHH… HUUUUHHHH….”

Seeing Gabriele grow increasingly uncomfortable, Riccardo continued rubbing his belly. “Try to focus on your breathing first, okay? Don’t bite your lip, love.” He watched his husband carefully, seeing the effort it took for him to endure the pain. “But your water hasn’t broken yet. I don’t know if this is really labor or just false contractions.”

“MMMHHH, Ric…” Gabriele looked at him through half-lidded eyes, clearly hurting. He gripped the bedsheet tightly to cope with the discomfort. His anus twitched, as did the shaft of his penis.

“Just squeeze my hand if your stomach starts hurting again.” Riccardo took Gabriele’s hand and held it firmly. With his free hand, he gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. “How’s your stomach now, love? Does it still hurt? You’re sweating so much.”

“It’s eased up a little right now. The one before was way worse.” Gabriele tightened his grip around Riccardo’s hand. His body glistened with sweat from contractions that seemed to be growing stronger and more frequent.

Riccardo reached for a handkerchief from the bedside table and carefully wiped away some of the perspiration. As soon as he saw Gabriele’s erect nipples, he played with one of them and twisted it slowly. “Just tell me if it starts hurting again, okay?” He continued stroking Gabriele’s swollen belly, occasionally feeling the baby move beneath his hand. Despite his anxiety, he couldn’t suppress a small smile. He had a feeling that the child he and Gabriele had dreamed of was going to arrive very soon.

Gabriele simply nodded weakly while allowing his husband to continue soothing him.

With a faint smile, Riccardo looked at him and asked, “You really scared me when you suddenly started hurting like that. Has it happened before, or was that the first time?”

“Just today,” Gabriele answered, uncertain of his own memory. “I’ve never had pain like that before.” He rubbed the firm lower part of his belly. Without warning, another contraction seized him. Pain shot through his abdomen, and he immediately grabbed Riccardo’s hand, squeezing hard. At the same time, a strained groan escaped him. “AAARRGHH — Ric, my stomach hurts again.”

“Huh? Again?” Riccardo’s concern deepened. “I really think you might be going into labor, love. I was so worried.” He watched as Gabriele’s belly tightened visibly beneath his hands.

A nod was all Gabriele could manage in response. His face had gone red from the effort of enduring the pain. “HAAAHHH… maybe. Maybe I am. But I’m scared.” He groaned through the contraction, trying not to panic. This was his first child, after all, and they were far from a hospital. “It hurts so much.”

“Hey, it’s okay.” Riccardo immediately moved closer. “You don’t have to be afraid. I’m right here.” He kept rubbing Gabriele’s belly in slow, reassuring circles. “We’ll figure it out together. Just focus on breathing for me, alright?”

One of Gabriele’s hands remained on his stomach while the other held tightly to Riccardo’s. His entire body shifted restlessly as he tried to work through the contraction. “AAAAAHHHH… yeah, Ric… my stomach hurts so much.” Fear lingered in his voice.

“Does it hurt that much, love? Don’t be scared. I’m right here with you. Just try to stay calm, okay?”

His gaze fell on the bead of precum leaking from Gabriele’s cock, and he reached out to hold and slowly stroke the hardened shaft. “You’re really hard, love. Let’s wait and see if your water breaks, alright? If you really are going into labor, we’ll know for sure once your water breaks.”

One of Gabriele’s hands rested on his belly while the other squeezed Riccardo’s hand tightly. His body writhed across the mattress as his husband stroked his dick. He was scared. Worried, too. If he really was about to give birth, this would be his first child, far away from a hospital and without medical assistance nearby.

“Just stay calm, okay? Don’t panic,” Riccardo said. He allowed Gabriele to keep squeezing his hand while watching him shift and writhe on the bed. “You’re so sexy, love. Especially with that big belly of yours.” His tone was teasing yet gentle as he smiled and softly pressed and rubbed Gabriele’s belly.

More precum continued to leak from Gabriele’s cock, while his anal hole kept twitching and had already turned flushed. He struggled to regulate his ragged breathing through the pain. “Seriously, Ric? I’m about to give birth and you’re still thinking about that?”

Riccardo watched the growing amount of the dripping precum and let out a quiet chuckle at his husband’s response. “Hehe… sorry, love. I’m not trying anything, I swear.” His smile quickly faded into concern. “Do you want me to take you to a hospital right now? Or should I call a doctor? Can you still handle it, sweetheart?” The questions came one after another. Though he was trying to remain calm, worry gnawed at him from the inside as he watched his husband suffer.

Before Gabriele could answer, another powerful contraction seized his abdomen. “AAAAANGGHHHH, Ric!” At the same moment, his water broke, gushing from his birth canal and instantly soaking the bed.

“L-love…” Riccardo stammered in shock.

Gabriele looked at him with panic in his eyes while trying to control his breathing. “HUUUFF… HAAAHHH…” One hand supported the underside of his swollen belly. “Ric, I feel like I need to push… it hurts so much.”

Hearing that, Riccardo immediately took his hand. “I’ll help however I can, okay? You can push when the next contraction comes. Don’t be scared. I’m right here with you.” His gaze fell to the hotel bed sheets, where he noticed traces of blood mixed with the amniotic fluid.

Gabriele nodded and squeezed Riccardo’s hand when another contraction returned. “EUNNGGHHHHHH! Ric, it hurts so much — HMMMMNGGHHHH HAAAAHH!” He groaned as he pushed and fought through the pain. The hole started to bulge and turn red because of the baby’s head pushing from inside.

“I know, Gabi. I know it hurts. But you have to keep trying, okay? You can do this.”

“I’ll do it for our baby, Ric.” He rubbed his belly while trying to endure the pressure. Taking another breath, he pushed harder. “HAAAAANNGGGHHHHH! FUUUHHH! EUMMMHHHH!” The baby gradually began descending, stretching his hole and causing a sharp burning sensation. “AAAANGGHHH! It hurts!”

Riccardo focused on what was happening and tried to help as best he could. “The baby’s almost there. Come on, sweetheart. You can do it.”

Feeling the intense pressure, Gabriele cried out again. His face was red, his entire body drenched in sweat. “EUNNGGHHHHH! It burns so much, Ric!” He pushed again. Amniotic fluid and blood continued to spill as the baby’s head advanced further.

“Hang on, love. You’re doing great. Just a little more. The baby’s almost here.”

“I want to squat instead, Ric.” Moving from his previous position, Gabriele carefully shifted to the edge of the bed and lowered himself into a squat, using Riccardo for support.

Riccardo quickly prepared several folded towels to use as padding before sitting at the edge of the bed, supporting his husband’s weight. “Are you comfortable, love?” he asked.

Gabriele answered with a small nod.

“Alright. Push again, sweetheart.”

Another powerful contraction surged through Gabriele’s body. “AAAARRGGHHH! HMMMMNGGHHHH!” With that push, aided by his squatting position, the baby’s head emerged further, accompanied by a rush of fluid mixed with blood. “HAAAAHHHH — ”

“The head’s out, love. Come on, just a little more. You only need to get the body out now.” Riccardo bent forward slightly to check the baby’s position and saw that the head had indeed emerged. There was not much he could do besides support Gabriele physically and encourage him in every way possible.

“Okay, Ric,” Gabriele replied hoarsely. Another contraction tightened across his abdomen as the baby adjusted position before the final stage of birth. “HUUUUUHHH… AAAAHHH…” Drawing on what little strength he had left, he pushed again. “AAAANGGHHH! WOOAAAAHHH!”

“You can do it, love. You’re strong.” Riccardo watched Gabriele’s swollen belly tighten once more. “Just a little more. Our baby’s almost here. Push harder, sweetheart.”

Gabriele nodded.

Riccardo was right.

Just a little longer and all of this would be over. Every struggle would be worth it. Their beautiful honeymoon would change forever — and become even more beautiful with the arrival of the child they had created together.

Taking a deep breath, Gabriele pushed again while pressing one hand against his own belly. “EUNNGGHHHH! RIC! AAAARGGHH! HUH! HUH! HUH! MMMHHHH!” The baby’s body gradually began to emerge. The tiny shoulders stretched his birthing hole wider before the rest of the infant slipped free, followed by another rush of fluid that splashed onto the towels spread beneath him.

At the exact moment their child was born, Gabriele’s cock twitched violently and spewed a lot of cum. His body trembled uncontrollably from exhaustion and overwhelming sensation.

“You did amazing, love.”

Once Gabriele had gathered their newborn into his arms, Riccardo leaned forward and kissed the top of his head. He helped him settle into a more comfortable sitting position on the floor, cushioned by the carpet and towels they had prepared. “Thank you for bringing our baby into the world.” Riccardo moved beside him, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and pressing several affectionate kisses to his cheek.

“You’re welcome, Ric.” Gabriele looked down at their child before glancing back at his husband. “If you hadn’t been here with me, I don’t know if I could’ve done it.”
