Milo's Sister

Chapter 36

February 2021

I stood in front of the full length mirror in our bedroom, my shirt pulled up, exposing my slowly portruding belly. I now had a small bump. So small, you really couldn't tell. It just looked like I had just had a meal. We had our six week ultrasound the day before, but we couldn't see the baby.

I lovingly caressed my tiny bump. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. Milo was sitting on the bed behind me, smiling. He stood and came over to where I was, wrapping his arms around me from behind and rested his hands on my stomach and chin on my shoulder.

"You look beautiful," He whispered, kissing the side of my neck.
I smiled and turned in his arms so I could face him, "I love you."

He kissed me slightly, pulling away and dropping to his knees.

"Hey, Little One," He said, kissing my stomach, "Daddy loves you and can't wait for you to make your appearance.

I giggled. Milo was so good with kids and I couldn't wait to watch him interact with his own son or daughter.

A knock on the cracked door, caused me to quickly pull my shirt back over my stomach and I turned as Kayla pushed the door opened and stepped inside.

"Can one of you run me to the store? I need to get a few things." She said.
"I'll take you," I offered.
"Okay!" She turned to leave but stopped, "Milo, this is why you're my second favorite."
Milo frowned, teasingly, "I would have taken you, but Meg offered first!"

She shrugged and left.

I chuckled and leaned over to kiss him, "Yeah, Milo. This is why I'm the favorite."
He rolled his eyes and grinned, "I love you."
I grabbed my purse, "I love you, too."

****

We entered the store, running since it had begun raining.

"So, what do you need?" I asked her.
She shrugged, "I don't know. I just wanted to come."

I laughed as we began looking. The baby section caught my eye and the cutest baby outfit was on the front of the rack. I went over to touch it and looked at it, half tempted to buy it. I touched my stomach lightly.

"Meg?" Kayla asked, confused.
I raised my eyebrows, "Hm?"
"Are you ready to go?" She looked skeptical.
I snapped out of my trance, "Uh, yeah. Yeah. Let's go!"

We got DQ on the way home, we got some for Milo and Camryn too, because we're awesome like that.

****

"We're back!" Kayla called as we walked inside.
I laughed as Milo leaned down to kiss me, his hands cradling my stomach, "I saw the cutest baby outfit." I whispered.
His face softened, "When's the two month checkup ?"
I rested my head against his chest, "Monday."
Camryn came in from the office, "I just made the arrangements for your engagement party. It's on Friday."
I grinned, "This is why we love you."
She smiled, hugging me, "Your parents are flying in Thursday evening to help me set up. You two just relax and let us take care of this."
"Thanks Camryn," I said, hugging her tightly.

Milo parked the car at the airport to pick up my parents. I saw them at the gate. I didn't hesitate to leave Milo's side and run to my parents. My mom caught me in a hug.

"I missed you, Mom," I whispered.
She grinned, "Not nearly as much as I missed you."
I pulled back, smiling and hugged my dad, "Hi, Dad."
He smiled too, "Hi, Megatrillz."

Milo, Kayla and Camryn were approaching us and my mom smiled.

"Hey, Liz," Milo said, as my mom pulled him in for an embrace.
"Milo!" She hugged him tightly.
"How are you, Mike?" Milo asked my dad as they shook hands and patted each other on the back.
"Good. You?" He smiled.
"Doing great," Milo returned the big smile.

Friday came sooner than we expected. Although, we didn't help with anything. We tried, but our parents refused to accept our help, insisting that it was the parents and bridesmaids jobs.

I threw down the fourth dress onto the bed. Glaring as I wore the fifth.

"Milo," I whined, "All of these dresses are too tight. They show my bump."
Milo came in from the bathroom where he was doing his hair, "You look beautiful," He caressed my stomach, "If we were public with this, you would be fine."

I smiled and leaned up to kiss him, softly, pulling him down by the collar of his shirt.

After much debating, I finally settled on a loose fitting dress that went just above my knees.

Our party was a huge success and a lot of fun. Quite honestly, it wore us out. We were tired as we entered the house.

I went to Kayla's room to make sure she was asleep, and by the looks of it, she had barely enough energy to change and as soon as she laid on the bed she was out.

I chuckled, picking her dress up off the floor and putting it in her dirty clothes hamper, before going to her bed and making sure she was covered up. As I left the room, I turned off the lights.

I went back to me and Milo's room, to see that he had already showered and was out like a light. I grinned as I wrapped the blanket around him and planted a sweet kiss on his forehead.

I got fresh shorts and a tshirt and went to the bathroom to shower before bed.

I woke up on Monday, to the sun shining through the window. The curtains had already been drawn, meaning that Milo has already went downstairs. My stomach was churning and I raced to the toilet. Of course, I was still in the first trimester so my morning sickness was at it's high.

Once I finished, I checked the alarm clock that told me it was only 7:30, meaning I still had a good three and a half hours before my appointment.

I knew there was no way I could go back to sleep, so I got up and brushed my teeth and washed my face, before I went downstairs to join the rest of the family.

"Good morning, Sleepy Head," Milo said, kissing the top of my head as I tiredly wrapped my arms around his torso.
"Mornin," I yawned.

I made myself some toast and went to sit next to Kayla at the bar.

"Where's your mom?" I questioned.
"Work. She wasn't supposed to go in until this afternoon, but something came up," Milo answered.

I gave him a look, wondering what we were gonna do with Kayla while we went to the appointment.

He jumped in, "Kayla's going to hang out with Mason and Lilah later."
I raised my eyes brows, "Sounds fun! I'm jealous! Lilah's fun...And Mason's okay, too."

That caused Milo to laugh and he placed a small peck on my lips.

It's been awhile. It took me a while to finish this chapter. I worked on it a lot last night and finally finished it this morning. I feel bad for making you guys wait over a month between chapters, so I'll get to work on the next one ASAP. And I don't want to start rambling, so I'll end this here😂💕
