"You want to go where?" I asked as I sat up in our bed, rubbing my eyes as I tried to come alive from the amazing sleep I was having for once. "What time is it even?"

"It's almost 10 in the morning, so it's not that early," Han said with a small laugh as he sat down on my side of the bed facing me, watching me wake up. "And I want to take you out for the day."

"Not with a gun, right?" I said as we both laughed. "I just wanna make that clear. That nobody's dying today...again."

Han rolled his eyes with a chuckle as I giggled. "Somebody's full of jokes this morning, I see," He laughed as he squeezed my knee. "It was one time."

"Are you sure it's only going to be one?" I asked, laughing again as he pinned me to the bed, shrieking with laughter as he squeezed my side. "Okay, okay! I'm done."

Han leaned down and kissed me softly. We laid there enjoying the few moments of silence between us as he leaned in for one last kiss before pulling away and helping me up off the bed.

"Alright, jokester, go get ready," He said as he smacked me on the ass while I threw the blankets up over the bed. "What do you want to do today?"

"I need my nails done!" I called from inside the closet without much hesitation. "They're disgusting, and I haven't had them done since Tokyo."

Xoxox

We did so much in just a six hour span, and I was tired. I got both a manicure and a pedicure. I hadn't had them done in so long and didn't know what color to get, so I ended up going with this really pretty electric blue. After we were done with that, we went out to lunch, and then went shopping. I was almost at the point of needing new clothes, but I didn't want to wear maternity clothes, so I just went with the next size up.

"Okay," I said as we loaded up the back of the Mazda with shopping bags. "What's next on the agenda? Aren't Dom and the crew still here? Can't we see them before they leave?"

"That's where we're going now," He answered as I grinned widely. "I kept you out all day because Mia's got another surprise for you."

"Oh, no, another surprise?" I laughed nervously as I got into the Mazda while Han shut my door. "You're making me nervous with all these surprises."

"Oh, trust me, I think you'll like this one just as much as everyone coming for a surprise visit," He winked as he shut his door, starting up the car. "She planned this one mostly on her own. I had very little involvement."

I took a hold of his free hand when he pulled out of the mall's parking garage and held it, leaning over to kiss his cheek.

"I've really been feeling all the love from everyone lately, and I like it. It's nice," I smiled as I met his gaze briefly before he looked back at the road.

"You're so loved, always," He said as he squeezed my hand before bringing it to his lips and kissing it. "Not only by me, but by the rest of our friends, too. You deserve it, babe. I love you."

"I love you," I smiled as I kept a hold on his hand until we pulled up to the house again. Once the Mazda was in the garage, we got out and started grabbing the many shopping bags in the back. "I think I overbought."

"That is definitely nothing new," Han said as we both laughed. "I'm used to you filling up the backseat. I wouldn't have it any other way."

He fished the house key out of his pocket after closing and locking the garage, and we made our way inside the house. With a sigh of relief, we set the bags down inside the laundry room, deciding we'd deal with it later.

"My back definitely hurts after that," I laughed as I placed my hands on my back, turning to the side to stretch it. "They are so heavy."

"I'll fix it later," He winked as he kissed me, shutting off the light to the laundry room before putting his hands over my eyes. "Mia's surprise is in the living room. I want you to be totally shocked."
