Chapter 14

Chapter 14

I pull into the cliff house driveway, a little earlier than expected. I make sure that I have that folder to show Steffy, how serious I am.

I have so many emotions going through my head. I'm excited, but also a bit nervous to tell Kelly that she's going to be a big sister. She's been the apple of both mine and Steffy's eyes for a long time. She was my first princess, and there is no doubt in my mind, that one day, she will be a queen just like her mom is. If Kelly could turn out even half like Steffy, she'd be lucky. Every time, I look at Kelly from the moment she was born, all I see is love, it's all I ever wanted to feel. When I first held her, I realized how much I loved Steffy. I felt more for Steffy after Kelly's birth than I had ever felt. All the pain we had endured the months prior to Kelly's birth was now meaningless.

It's been a joy to watch her grow. She's the perfect mix of Steffy and I. She has my color hair and thin like mine. She has Steffy's eyes, but my cheeks and lips. She has long legs like her mom and is a social butterfly also like her mom. Even though she is like her mom in that respect, she's very reserved, like me. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect daughter, and I truly look forward to the time that I get to spend with her. I can't wait to see her reaction when we tell her, and when she sees her baby brother for the first time.

"Hey you," Steffy says opening the door wider for me.

"Hi," I smile, before stepping inside. My eyes immediately glance upon Steffy. She is wearing jeans and a tight hugging shirt. It's a shirt that clearly exemplifies her growing baby bump. She must be around 17 or 18 weeks or so. I am actually surprised that with how smart Kelly is that she hasn't noticed Steffy's body changing. This woman seriously looks good in everything. She's so beautiful. I quickly scan the area for any signs of Finn. I am wondering why he didn't rush right over here after our heated exchange. My eyes pan towards the bedroom door, when I notice it. It is the bare wall, where we once hung. Finn was not lying when he said it was taken down. Heart break comes over me, at the sight. I inwardly sigh sadly. I want to mention it to her, but I know it's not really worth the fight.

"Is Kelly still sleeping?" I ask.

"No, she is on her way home with Amelia. Amelia took her out for some ice cream."

"That's nice of Amelia," I say.

"Yeah, another person that I am so thankful that we have in our lives," she replies. "She's amazing, and Kelly absolutely adores her."

"Speaking of Kelly, I am curious how you've hidden this little bump from her and if she's asked any questions. Our girl is quite perceptive; I'm surprised that she hasn't taken notice."

"I've been trying to be very careful around her. I've been wearing a lot of baggy and loose fitting clothes to hide the bump. Whenever she tries jumping on me, I feign not feeling well."

I chuckle, "So, really then how are you feeling?" I ask. I place my hand on her firm belly, and look down at it. "And how are you Little Bean?" I smile down at her belly.

"B is good. We are both good. I just started recently feeling the flutters inside, especially in the mornings."

"You mean kicks?" I asked my hand still on her belly.

"Yes, they are becoming more regular,"

Just then I feel a soft tap against my hand. If she didn't tell me she was feeling flutters, I would've never even taken notice to that; I would've just passed it off as air bubbles.
