Always & Forever

Chapter 2

Lana POV

Today I am exactly 13 weeks pregnant, officially in my second trimester. Yay! My morning sickness, aka nausea and vomiting has finally gone away -mostly- and I'm gaining my appetite (for specific foods) back. Along with that has come cravings though, especially in the middle of the night.

Sean moved in over the weekend, which is great, especially when I do get those 2 in the morning cravings. He is a great sport and doesn't (usually) complain about going out to get them for me.

My bump is much more noticeable now, and my pants are getting quite a bit snug but I should be able to continue wearing them for at least another week, hopefully two.

We leave in less than a week to go to California for my family thanksgiving. I'm excited for Amada to meet my sister, niece, nephews and my aunt. She'll get to meet Antoinette and see Trish again too. She doesn't know, but I arranged for Isla to come over one of the days we'll be there too which will be a nice surprise.

My mom is beyond excited to see Amada and it warms my heart to see, especially since for 15 years Amada wasn't in our lives. But it's as if she's been here the whole time.

It was currently almost 4 am and Sean was sound asleep beside me. I feel so tired but can't fall asleep because I really want to try a place called 'Cravings Ice Cream' I know, ironic. I saw it on Instagram earlier and of course now, that's all I want.

It's in Los Angeles though, not here in Vancouver. I keep trying to fall asleep knowing I can just get some next week while we're there but it's not working so well.

I slipped out of bed and went into the bathroom. I got changed for the day and put some light makeup on to cover the bags under my eyes. I went downstairs and put some vanilla ice cream in a bowl, then I cut up some chocolate and added that along with some strawberries.

I stretched out on the couch and ate my ice cream for a while but then heard Sean's footsteps. I continued eating my ice cream, and although it wasn't 'Cravings Ice Cream', it fulfilled the craving for now.

Sean stopped when he saw me in the living room and said something but I was zoned out cause he looked hot. His hair was ruffled from sleep but he didn't have a shirt on, just some light grey sweatpants. His abs and arm muscles were on full display and my eyes lingered just a bit longer on them.

"Like what you see, darling?" He asked, clearly amused.

My eyes met his and he grinned, "What are you doing?" I asked him.

"What am I doing? What are you doing? I woke up and you weren't in bed, I got worried and decided to try and find you" he replied.

"I'm laying here eating my ice cream" I said simply before taking another bite.

"Why are you eating ice cream at 4 in the morning?"

"Because that's what I was craving" I said with a huff. I finished the last scoop and then got up off the couch and wandered into the kitchen.

He followed me into the kitchen and sat on the barstool as I washed off my bowl and spoon.

"I wasn't trying to upset you, my love. I was just asking you a question." he stated calmly.

"Okay" I said then walked away, going back upstairs and crawling into bed.

He followed me upstairs, turning off the lights again on the way. He crawled into bed too and moved over towards me. "What's wrong darling? Have I upset you?" he asked, moving some hair from my face.

"No, I'm fine, just tired." I said, my eyes already beginning to close. He sighed but nodded, then place a kiss in my hair and pulled me towards him, draping an arm around my middle. I readjusted to move on top of the blankets because I was already overheated then settled against him again.
