Started With A Wedding

Lilith

When I wake up the next morning my eyes widen. I slept in late! What if Rachel wakes up and asks where I am. My bottom lip rolls between my teeth as I look over at Nico. His eyes are closed as his soft breath comes out. We didn't get much sleep last night.

Once I was able to sleep he held me into his arms as his hands softly ran through my hair. I haven't slept in a man's arms since my Ex fiancée. I almost forgot how nice and protected I feel. Nico makes me feel that way just by being around me.

The way his eyes light up when he smiles. The way he smiles at me when he's happy. When my heart pounds out of my chest just from him being around me.

Today is the day that I'm going to tell him about the baby. Sliding out of his arms I sit up in bed. When the nausea hits me I get up and rush to the bathroom. Holding back my hair the throw-up goes straight into the toilet.

For a few minutes, I let all the sickness out into the toilet. It isn't until I feel Nico behind me that I start to panic. His hand rubs up and down my back. "Hey, are you feeling sick? Do you want me to stay home with you?" He says rubbing his eyes.

Holding up my finger I tell him to wait. Then once I'm done I flush the toilet. Turning to him I smile. "I'm fine just ate a little too much candy last night." Holding my hand over my mouth I walk past him. "I should get back downstairs before Racheal wakes up." As soon as I walk out into his room door gets knocked on.

"Dad are you awake?" Rachels's voice is heard through the door.

My eyes widen and I turn to Nico with panic in my eyes. He walks over and puts a hand on my shoulder. "Relax." He whispers.

Then he goes over to the door and opens it just a bit. She can't see inside the room and I take a small breath.

"Daddy, have you seen Lilith? She isn't in the bedroom anymore." Rachel question. Guilt takes over me. I should be down there with her. She wanted to sleep in my bed with me after all. Yet here I am in her dad's room.

"Actually she went out to get something. Let's go to the basement and see if we still have one of those silly hats we can surprise her with." Nico who already has a pair of shorts on turns to me. He points to the door and then walks out with Rachel.

Not wasting any time I throw on my clothes. When I open the door I make sure I can't hear them downstairs. When I don't taking a step out of the room I run downstairs.

Once my foot hits the bottom step the doorbell rings. My eyes widen when I see an older woman in the window wave at me.

When I walk over to the door Nico and Rachel walk into the room through the door. "Lilith you're back." Rachel runs over to me and jumps into my arms. Wrapping my arms around her I hold her and smile.

Nico walks over to the door and opens it. An older woman walks in along with a man who seems to be her husband.

"Hey my son!" She grabs him into a hug. When his father looks at me a blush appears on my face. I jumped right out of bed and didn't have time to prepare. I can't believe I have to meet his parents with me looking like this. I must look horrible. Not to mention my horrible morning breath.

"Mom what are you doing here?" Nico questions looking over at me with an apologetic look.

"Well I wanted to see you. Since I'm visiting I decided to drop by." She smiles. Rachel goes over to Nico's mom and hugs her. "

"Grandma!"She giggles.

"Hi Rachel. I brought you a present." She smiles down at her grandaughter. Then her eyes wander over to me.
