"HERE, OVER HERE"I shout while stumbling to stay up with my sweetheart crying in my arms. Finally its over! This torment is over. Happiness and a sense of serenity conveys my entire being. Ecstasy, this is pure ecstasy. WE SURVIVED,   the pain is finally over. No one, NO ONE should go through this horrendous experience no matter the offence .

"James, get over here" giggling I callout for my boyfriend who is downstairs, the thuds of steps up the stairs get closer and closer an-" Yes, beautiful" he answers in a rather hilarious accent making me bust out in a fit of laughter. Gasping for air, I manage to stutter out a few words "S-stop messing a-about and help me take these downstairs"" Yes, your majesty" lifting the two big bags, he struts over towards me and plants a kiss on my cheek before going out the room. I sigh in content and look around to make sure we aren't forgetting anything, after double checking, I make my way to the stairs and walk down to the rather big living room. Well, aleast to me

"Are you ready?" James asks while back hugging me causing me to jump from the surprise, "Yes" I reply now nuzzling into the warmth; "Well then lets get going", we get together out hand luggage and move toward the car

"Are you ready?" James asks while back hugging me causing me to jump from the surprise, "Yes" I reply now nuzzling into the warmth; "Well then lets get going", we get together out hand luggage and move toward the car. Ring, ring, I reach into my bag and grab my phone and look at the caller id 

Sighing, I answer " Hey mom" the chatter dies down from the other line, a calm, smooth voice speaks through the device" Good morning Julia, How are you and James?" " We're fine, hope u guys are also doing well" Sighing , my mom answers" Yes, thank...

" Lets go" Hopping into the car passenger's seat and put on my seat belt. James hops in and we drive out of our house,into the street of our neighbourhood, then into the busy high way. "This is gonna be so much fun!" I exclaim with pure bliss" Y-yeah" James says with a bit of edge to his voice. This sparks my curiosity because James is never nervous. "Babe, are you alright?" I ask while looking at him, he clears his throat and  starts talking" I-i am just n-nervous about the b-baby" I sigh in relief  that it isn't something serious. Yes, I am pregnant and almost full term,it's just remaining two? Yes two months before our bundle of joy arrives and
exactly why we are going on a holiday. This so we are calm and relaxed when we're back an- "Babe?, Are you alright?" Not realising I spaced out I shake my head and answer his question"James,The baby is fine and Doctor Ryan checked me before we left, ok? Nothing to worry about" that seem to help and his tense shoulders dropped.The rest of the ride was just us vibin to music and talking about stuff to do on our trip

We reach the check point, get our luggage and passports checked and park our car and walk towards the harbour. There we see the beautiful cruise we're riding on and stare in awe

" Justice cruise" we both say at the same time and turn to each other and giggle

" Justice cruise" we both say at the same time and turn to each other and giggle. We enter and look around to find the reception and make our way towards it. "Good morning, welcome to Justice cruise" the young lady addresses us" Good morning, we are reserved under Smith, James Smith" she types in the name and them looks up to is with a smile and gives us the card" Room 205, through the passage,  into elevator to level 7" we thank her and start to move but the news on the little telly by the corner catches my attention" We are expected a big storm heading east coast and could be potentially hazardous  but it hasn't  been classified as a level 1 or above so it isn't so serious,We do however advise for all to be prepared just in case. Have a safe and good evening, Thank you" the lady in a black dress goes off to an unimportant report" Babe,.let's go" I turn to face James and smile but this little feeling at the back of my heart keeps tugging at me. Pushing it away as pregnant symptoms, we make our way to our room.

This is gonna be a long journey........If only I knew
