Hidden Chapter 2-3

It had been another month of calm days and stressful husband weeks as well but everything was okay as it passed by. When the sun came up the birds started to chirp and the squirrels came out to start a new day of activities, and the same with the smurfs. Harmony sounded his horn to wake the others for a new day of hard work and between them the little soon-to-be's, Hefty woke up with a stretch and a big yawn as well as a good scratch on the back, but when he got out of bed he noticed Smurfette was still in deep sleep, he really didn't wanna wake her so he thought it'd be best to let her sleep a little longer being in her condition. He got up and ready for the new day of hard work.

The whole morning passed and Smurfette woke up at almost 12pm and it always surprised her how much she slept because of the baby she was expecting. She sat on the bed and saw Hefty through the window carrying some boulders as he followed Handy somewhere, she sighed and got up carefully from the bed so she could go get dressed still knowing she wasn't going to do physical activity like the rest of them but it would still be nice to do at least something around the house, but after getting a good and comfortable dress on, she had somehow had the urge to call Hefty right now. She peeked out the window and called for her husband waiting for an answer or for him to arrive at the call.

"Yoo-hoo! Hefty!" she called his name.

She rested her arms on the window until a panting and pair of feet running towards her at top speed was heard. But when a big ball of dust was in front of her, she saw Hefty come out of there, waving his hand to make the dust go away as he coughed some away too as he stepped in the house to see what his wife needed.

"Yes Smurfette? What's smurfin'? You ok? Need anything?" he asked startled.

"Heftyyyy, I want some smurfy coconuts from the beach" she said with a happy face.

"Coconuts? But the beach is a little far away and it's kinda hot today-"

"I. WANT. COCONUTS!" she growled as she was starting to get fussy.

By the looks of it, her mood swings were activating right now and he by far knew the consequence if he doesn't do what she tells him to do. So without thinking twice, he sighed and told her that he'd be right back with some coconuts as she smiled and giggled having the thought of the delicious coconuts in her mind.

As Papa Smurf walked by, he saw Hefty going to the exit of the village with a long face; he immediately went to see what he was doing or about to do. As he finally reached him he put his hand on Hefty's shoulder to ask him.

"Hefty, where are you going?" asked Papa as he caught his air since he ran to him.

"Uh it's sort of a stupid thing Papa Smurf…"

"Why is that?"

"Smurfette has a craving for coconuts and I gotta go all the way to the beach to smurf her some"

"Coconuts? Well uh…don't you want me to smurf with you?"

"I don't see why not. Thanks Papa Smurf."

They both walked to the beach talking about other things until they finally reached the coast and saw the big long palm trees infested with coconuts. Hefty climbed and cut some down as Papa caught them so they wouldn't break, when there was enough, they collected them and brought them back to the village so Smurfette would satisfy her craving. He thanked Papa Smurf for his help and headed back to his house knowing Smurfette was waiting for him, when he opened the door he saw her sitting on a chair tapping her foot from the impatience of waiting too long for her precious coconuts.

"Uhh…hi honey?" he said with a nervous smile.

"What took you so long?" she asked with a grumpy look.

"It was sort of hard to smurf back here a big pile of coconuts and-"

"Oh Goody! They're here!" she cut him off when she saw the mouth watering meal.

Hefty was already used to the way she would act and react to any situation, so he really never said anything when it was about something like that. He put down the coconuts and opened one for her. She took some sips of the milk that was inside it and actually enjoyed the taste in her mouth; her satisfaction was so much that she could feel the baby kick in delight as well, she only rubbed where she felt the kick and continued enjoying her craving on the day. Hefty just watched her in surprise, she already ate 3 coconuts and going for the forth one until she noticed him and picked another one up.

"You want one?" she asked with a smile as she had the fruit on her hand.

"Uh no thanks I'm not really thirsty"

"Why don't you want it? Don't you want to share a coconut with me?" she cried out.

"No, no it's not that-"

"THEN WHAT IS IT? YOU DON'T WANT TO BE WITH ME BECAUSE I'M NOT BEAUTIFUL ANYMORE?"

"Smurfette that has nothing to do, it's just-!"

"DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT. WHAT IS IT? MY FIGURE? THE BABY? ME?"

"It's none of those! I 'm just not thirsty that's it!" he replied nervously at her attitude.

"YOU DON'T WANT TO SHARE A COCONUT WITH ME BECAUSE YOU DON'T LOVE ME!" She yelled as tears ran down her face.

"No, I DO love you! Alright I'll share a coconut with you!" he shouted.

"Yay" said Smurfette turning from an erupting volcano into a sweet tender Smurfette again.

They both sat down and 'enjoyed' a coconut together, sometimes he asks himself how did he do it to support her and actually know how get off the hook when her mood swings were at play or about to. But he got caught up in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that she was looking at him with an angry look.

"HEFTY YOU'RE NOT DRINKING YOUR MILK!" She blurted out making him slightly jump.

"I-I-I-I-I am drinking it, see!" he said as he took big sips of it.

"That's good. *giggle* Sorry about that mood swings, dear." She said.

"It's uh…ok" he said with a nervous smile.

"*yawn* I'm tired, I'll smurf a quick nap, Hefty" she said as she lay down on her side of the bed and dozed off.

"Ok uh…I'll be…out here" he said as he walked out of the house.

He took a look back and went to continue helping out with the chores around the village. He finally arrived to the part where he was before Smurfette called him and picked up the boulder he left behind and went back to outskirts of the village where they needed him.

Handy saw him come back and brought the boulder he needed as a support for a project but saw the annoyed look on Hefty's face and knew something was wrong or bothering him, so it wouldn't hurt to ask him anyway. He walked up to him and waited for him to put the boulder down.

"*sigh* what trouble"

"Hey Hefty"

"Huh? Hey Handy"

"What's smurfin'?"

"Nothing"

"Oh…well, I see you smurfed the boulder I needed, but why did you take so long to come back?"

"Well, when Smurfette called me, she told me she was in the mood for coconuts and I had to smurf all the way to the beach with Papa Smurf and smurf like a dozen of'em. And when we brought'em back, she had a mood swing and got mad at me for taking too long to come and then she smurfed down when she saw the coconuts."

"What's so bad about that?"

"Wait for the 'good' part… she then gave me a coconut but I told her that I wasn't thirsty because I honestly wasn't, and then her mood swings came back and made a scene with me until I HAD to accept the coconut and she forced me to drink the whole thing without me even wanting to"

"Wow… that's a lot to smurf in"

"I know, I really hope those mood swings would end soon"

"Don't worry, just keep her pleased and everything will be smurfy again" he said with some thumbs up.

"I really hope you're right. I don't mind the cravings but the mood swings are the ones that keep me worried. Is it really that hard to smurf a baby?"

"I think it is, I don't really know about these things"

"You thought I did?" he said with a frown.

"Don't worry, you two have about 2 or 3 more months and it's all over"

"Yeah…well let's get back to work, Handy."

"Yeah, the dam's waiting" he said picking up some tools.

They headed back to their duties for the rest of the day. When the day ended Hefty was incredibly beat from the hard work they had today, he only wanted to go home and rest after the tough day. When he opened the door he saw Smurfette lying on the bed humming a lullaby as she rubbed her belly in delight, he thought it was very sweet the way she was expressing her love to the baby but he wondered if it could hear her or not but that'll have to wait for tomorrow because he really couldn't stay awake another minute. He fell next to Smurfette and said his 'good night' which she gladly returned and turned off the candles so she could sleep as well.

It was around 2 am in the morning and Hefty was snoring as loud as when Timber chops a tree down but he really enjoyed himself from the relaxing feeling he had right now, but when he least expected it, Smurfette woke up and poked his shoulder a few times.

"Hefty…Hefty wake up…" she whispered in his ear as she poked him more.

"Ughhh Ermmm…wha?" he said opening half an eye.

"Hefty…are you up?"

"I am now…*gasp* WHAT'S WRONG? Are you ok? Is it time?"

"No-no, I'm fine"

"You are? Then why'd you wake me up?"

"…I want a smurfberry pie"

"…What?"

"Smurfberry pie…I want one"

"At these hours?"

"I won't be able to sleep without one"

"Can you wait until morning? Greedy's still asleep"

"No! I want one NOW!"

"Um uh…fine… wait here"

He lazily got up from the bed and waddled all the way to the door since he was still very sleepy. He walked all the way to Greedy's house and knocked a few times on the door hoping he would hear them. He slightly heard a moan and some ruffling from the other side letting him know he's up; he waited for the poor sleepy smurf to come and answer the door hoping he didn't get him cranky or something. He then saw Greedy open the door revealing a smurf with half open eyes and a candle so he could see who it was.

"Ugh, Hefty?" said Greedy trying to clear his vision by rubbing an eye.

"*yawn* Hi Greedy…" replied Hefty.

"Uh what brings you here at these hours?" he said trying his best not to fall asleep.

"Smurfette that's what, she has a craving for smurfberry pie"

"Can it wait 'till morning? I'm not in the mood to cook or bake right now"

"Like I haven't tried to convince her, but if I try that, it goes even worse. Don't you have one already prepared or something so we can both go back to sleep?"

"*yawn* I think I do, hold on."

Greedy went to his secret storage to look for the pie requested, but he couldn't find the right one until after a few tries. He pulled it out and closed the lid of the storage. He then went back with Hefty as he waited for the troublesome pie.

"Here Hefty…"

"Thanks and sorry for the trouble, good night"

"*yawn* It's no trouble…good night"

Those were the last words until they went back to what they were doing, well sort of. Hefty went home and saw Smurfette waiting for her pie patiently, she the noticed him and saw what he had in his hands with a joyful face.

"Here's your pie, honey" he said with a very tired tone.

"Oh thank you Hefty!" she said cheerfully as she started to eat her pie with delight.

Hefty just collapsed on his side of the bed and dozed off quickly but he could still hear the chewing and the moans of joy Smurfette was doing, he didn't want to be rude or harsh on her but he had to find a way to get some smurf and quiet. He got up and softly said her name, when she turned to him and just whispered to her if she could it her pie in silence; she gave him a nod and ate a little more calm than before. For Hefty it was a relief that she listened to him and now he could go to sleep peacefully.

But some minutes later when Smurfette was done she lay down close to him and wrapped her arms around his muscular body making him sigh in comfort and get in a more comfy position for her and himself, but when Smurfette got too close to him the baby started to kick, but the kicks were felt on Hefty's back waking him up again with red in his eyes from how tired he was and also include with an annoyed look as well. He glanced at his wife's belly and still felt the kicks on his back as the baby actually enjoyed it by the looks of it. The only thing Hefty had in mind right now was one thing.

"WHYYYYYYYYYYY?"
