Chapter Text
You sighed as you fidgeted for the umpteenth time in Simon's hold, trying your best to not think about the delicious taste of rainbow icecream melting on a large chocolate cookie before indulging in it. You rubbed your swollen tummy, trying to coax Junior in there to allow you to sleep. You closed your eyes once more, trying in vain to go back to sleep.
Eventually, groaning in defeat, you carefully removed yourself from your husband's arms and quietly made your way downstairs to the kitchen. It was 3 am and definitely no time to be craving dessert but you couldn't stop yourself.
You almost whined out loud when you opened the freezer and found the half empty container of the rocky road Simon had bought yesterday and some leftover Devonshire. You didn't feel like Rocky Road or Devonshire ice cream, you wanted the rainbow one. You knew, in all honesty, that rainbow icecream was just the normal icecream with different colours but you felt like the Rocky Road and Devonshire in your freezer wouldn't taste as good.
Anyway, you dragged yourself to the cabinets to check if you at least still had some chocolate cookies and you yelped for joy when you found an entire unopened packet. Ripping it open impatiently, you forced yourself to make do with what you had and took the Devonshire, generously scooping a spoonful and gently putting it on one cookie. You frowned in discontentment, it didn't quite look the way you wanted it to. Even though it tasted really similar, you weren't happy and junior wasn't happy too so you made your way upstairs to see if you could convince the baby daddy to go and buy some rainbow icecream.
"Babe?" You hesitantly called your husband to which he didn't reply or even fidget in response. "Darling?" You tried again and still didn't get any reaction. "Kiseok oppa!" You called once more, a bit less hesitantly and less gently than before and this time it worked.
"What's wrong? Are you okay? Is the baby okay?" He asked, looking worried and sleepily checking all over you for any signs of pain.
"I'm fine, relax." You felt a bit bad for worrying him but smiled when he visibly calmed down.
"Then what's going on? Why are you awake and waking me up in the middle of the night. You can't sleep?" He was still very sleepy and he asked so softly, as if he'd sleep again any minute.
"Icecream..."you whispered, not sure how to introduce your weird reason for waking him up.
"Huh?" Obviously he didn't hear you. You had definitely not said what you wanted audibly.
"I want icecream." You finally said loud enough.
Simon looked at you like you're crazy, maybe you were a bit. "Babe," he breathed out and you could see he was doing his best to be patient, "I bought icecream last night, I'm sure there is some of it left."
"It's not rainbow icecream though." You argued. "Rainbow icecream tastes the best with chocolate cookies." You could picture it and the imagination re-energized your will to get it.
You heard Simon sigh, "You literally said the same thing about Rocky Road. It's midnight, let's go to sleep. I'll buy you rainbow icecream first thing in the morning."
"It's almost 4am." You tried to reason with him.
"More the reason why we need to go back to sleep." He held out his arms for you to lie back on his chest but you shrugged in refusal. He just rose for a second to peck your lips and your tummy. "I'll get it once the sun goes up, I promise." And with that he shuffled to a comfortable position in bed and went back to sleep.
It was no good that you had tried to appease your craving with Devonshire cause now you just couldn't get it out of your mind. So you decided to go and buy it yourself. There was a 24 hour convenience store close by so it would be a five minute drive to your paradise. The thought had you changing quietly into the nearest sweatpants and t-shirt you could find, both belonging to Simon and very baggy on you but who'd care. You kissed your husband's forehead, sending him a text that you're going to get that rainbow icecream before taking the car keys and driving off.
