MAX & Ali Gatie - Butterflies:
'I won't stop getting butterflies, I get 'em every time I look into your eyes. You won't stop runnin' through my mind for the rest of both our lives. You give me butterflies and I keep on getting butterflies'

"This is the happiest I've felt in a long time.." He said before he kissed her again.

It was only a few hours after George had said those words, that Fiona felt completely different. She had woken up with major cramps and after checking her phone, she noticed it was only 1.30 in the morning. Hesitantly, she tried to get herself up out of bed to go to the bathroom. She tried to be a quick and silent as possible, to not wake up George who was peacefully asleep next to her, but it didn't appear to be that easy. "Fuck.." Fiona cursed under her breath when another bad cramp hit her. The doctor had said that her period would always be a little more painful than the average woman endured, but Fiona had hoped it would have at least been a little more comfortable this time.

Her eyes closed when she sat on the edge of the bed and she folded her body in half, something she always did when she had bad cramps. "Fiona? Are you okay?" She heard behind her and she cursed in herself for waking him. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine. You can go back to sleep, sweetie". She said, but Fiona knew he heard her voice break at the beginning of the sentence. George sat up and before she knew it, he was at her feet. "What's wrong, love? Cramps?" He asked, noticing the way she was sat. All Fiona could do was nod and he immediately started stroking his fingers over her back, applying a little pressure a bit lower down. "Do you want me to get you a pain killer?"

Fiona shook her head, she needed to go to the bathroom anyway. "I have to pee, I'll get it myself. Thank you, babe". She said, placing a kiss on his cheek before she slowly stood up. It wasn't as bad as the previous months had been, the cramps seem to fade away much faster. After going to the toilet and cleaning herself up, Fiona took a tablet and splashed some water on her face. She was wide awake now anyway. "Aren't you going back to sleep?" She said when she saw George sat upright in bed with the remote control to his tv in his hands. "I want to make sure you're alright first. I don't have to go to the factory tomorrow anyway". Fiona walked back over to him, feeling slightly better and she immediately cuddled into his side when George lifted his arm to invite her.

He chose one of the movies in their Netflix queue and planted a soft kiss on Fiona's forehead. "Aren't you tired?" He asked and she shook her head, she wouldn't be able to sleep if she tried right now. Fiona noticed George move underneath the duvet and suddenly she felt his hand on her stomach. She was still wearing his hoodie and the heat radiating off his touch made her feel so much better. Without thinking, Fiona took his hand and lifted her hoodie a bit to place it directly on her skin, right on top of the scar. "Does that feel nice?" George asked while looking at her and Fiona closed her eyes, leaning her head on his shoulder. "So nice". 

Fiona felt so safe in George's arms. The cramps had started to fade away a little now and she couldn't help but wonder if it was the pain killer or George's warm hand on her stomach. She turned her head to look at him and admired his beautiful features for a while. His hair was messy on his head, but it made him look so handsome. His eyelashes were the longest she had ever seen and she told him many times before how jealous she was of them. His lips turned into a smile when something funny happened on the tv and Fiona couldn't help but mirror him. He was so handsome and she was so happy he was hers.

"I love you". Fiona had moved her head closer to his ear and she could feel him shiver when her breath ghosted over his neck. The arm that was wrapped around her pulled her further against his body and George laid his head against hers, while his other hand was still firmly placed on her tummy. "I love you too, princess". He said, almost whispering. Fiona was so comfortable in his arms, her head on his shoulder and the warmth of their bodies in their tiny cocoon made her eyes feel heavy again. She could feel herself fall in and out of sleep, only waking up when George laughed about something in the movie.
