"Toni?" She whispered as she pat tall over the bed to find her face in the dark. "Toni?" She said again, a little louder this time to try and find the lamp. She turned on the small light beside her and saw Toni's face laying next to her. She looked so peaceful when sleeping, just like a baby. "Toni!" She practically yelled as she shook her body a little.

"Hm?" She groaned with a croaky voice, without opening her eyes.

"I need your help," She said overexaggerating.

"Is it about the baby," She replied, a hint of concern in her voice as she rubbed her eyes.

"No. Well, yes. A little bit." Cheryl replied as Toni gave her a confused look. Cheryl look at her with puppy eyes, knowing it always works when she wants something. "You care about me, don't you?"

"Kinda," She answered jokingly as she sat up and yawned.

"I'm hungry."

The brunette whined and fell back into her pillow. "Babe, it's two am. I want sleep, if you're hungry go to the fridge."

"But I'm very hungry!" She sighed, "Could you please get me something from Pop's? I will love you forever if you do!" She said, dragging the please.

"You're lucky that I love you," She mumbled while getting up slowly. She picked up one of her flannels from the floor and put it over her pyjama top. "You better not get used to this, it's only today and only because you're pregnant."

Cheryl grinned happily and nodded. "I love you too. I actually love you so much that I want to all of a sudden come with you!"

"Don't get me wrong, I really love you but you're so annoying when you're pregnant. Or on your period. Or stressed. Now that I think about it, you're annoying all the time," She waffled on, pulling up her jeans.

She rolled her eyes and fake laughed. "Ha ha very funny, now throw me over one of your shirts."

"I can't wait until these nine months are over," She whispered under her breath, throwing over one of her old shirts as she didn't want Cheryl to stretch her best ones.

"So you can finally hold our baby in your arms?" She said, getting up off the bed.

"No, so you're less moody."

Cheryl slapped her shoulder jokily as she pulled her body closer to her and pressed a small kiss on her forehead. Cheryl changed her clothes while Toni grabs her keys and bag.

Cheryl rolled down the window causing her hair to fly in every directions making Toni chuckle. She looks over at Toni in admiration and love, she can't believe she was given the opportunity to have a baby with the most beautiful woman in the world. God, she was so lucky.

"Toni?"

"Hm,"

"Why don't we do anything fun," She suddenly asked as she took her head out of the window to look at Toni.

"I don't know, maybe because it's two am, you're in the eight month of pregnancy and we're 26 years old?" She answered sarcastically. A small smile crept upon her face but she didn't keep her eyes off the road.

"Yeah, sounds like we have great conditions!" The tiredness vanished from her face and she was the usual happy person she always tried to be.

"Regards to the fact that you were so adamant on staying in bed 20 minutes ago, you're weirdly happy." She said, turning to face her girlfriend. Cheryl laughed quietly and at the point where Toni had to make a right turn for Pop's, she turned left. She drove around for a while, Cheryl couldn't be bothered to ask any questions so they just rode around in silence. The sign that showed Toni had drove them to Sweetwater river caught Cheryl's eye.

"Really?" She laughed, deep down it made her so happy that Toni was willingly spending time with her.

"Why not?" She shrugged, "It's not like we have anything better to do." She continued, walking over to Cheryl's side of the car, offering her a hand.

They walked over to the river bank, hand in hand. At some point Toni stopped and pulled Cheryl to the ground where she lay down and smiled. Cheryl smiled back at her, carefully laying next to her.

"This reminds me of when we were in high school," Spoke Cheryl, breaking the silence after realising this was where one of their most important memories came from. Where Toni said she loves her for the first time.

"Yeah, me too. We were so young, and so happy."

"But we fought a lot," She laughed at the fact they were basically opposites lead to most of their old fights. But they always found their way back to each other, they are soulmates.

"Yeah, I guess we did." Toni grinned, "But it was worth to fight for you, even if you are pretty annoying at times."

"And it was worth fighting for you, even if you behave like a dick sometimes." She giggled at her own joke, causing Toni to laugh at her stupidity. Toni turned her head so that she faced her, Cheryl copied her actions.

"I love you, Cheryl. So much."

"And I love you. Just as much." She answered, genuinely meaning it. She loved Toni with everything she owned, words coudln't describe how happy she felt around her.

Cheryl got up a bit and balanced on her left arm whilst looking down at Toni. "We're crazy, aren't we. I mean, its the middle of the night, you're my fiance, were adults, we will get a baby in a couple of months and we're stargazing whilst reminiscing about our past,"

"Yes, we are are different. But I think that's what makes us special. We're not a couple that breaks up after every fight. It's like we refused to give up on one another, and look where that got us."

Cheryl nodded and bit her bottom lip as she lay back down again, this time resting her head on Toni's chest. They cuddled in silence until a push inside her stomach and a happy scream that comes out of her mouth breaks it.

"Toni! The baby, the baby kicked!" She exclaimed happily.

"Really?" She said in disbelief and a huge grin sets on her face. "Finally!" Its the first time their child had kicked, and they were starting to get worried so this was unbelievably relieving.

Toni put her ear to Cheryl's tummy and listened carefully, but instead of another kick of the baby, she heard a growl coming out her stomach.

"Oops, told you we had to go to Pop's,"

Toni laughed and slammed her lips against Cheryl's whilst cupping her face with her hands. "Well then, let's go."
