6 months had passed so quickly since the tour ended,
Elvis and you had just been taking time to care about yourself at Graceland, and the constant reminder that in about 3 months you'll have a little baby around.

"Isn't it beautiful baby" you said as you laid your hand on Elvis silky blouse.
"It's amazing" he kissed your forehead and tumbled further into the nursery room,
For the last 2 months you had been working on it, making it in secret for Elvis reaction for the grand finale and there it finally was.

Elvis hand slided back and forth on the crib in the corner.
"Baby... I don't what to say, i-it's amazing" he choked on his words while starring down at the crib.
Your arms surround his waist slowly,
"Only 3 months more..." you kissed his back and laid your cheek against it feeling his warmth and taking in his scent.
"3 months... baby"
He let out a sigh and turned around to look down at you.

He gently laid a hand on your cheek, stroking his thumb.
"Are you ready?" He said with a concerned look,
"Not really, but you can't set time stamps on a baby" you chuckled, he tugged your head in to his chest.

"Baby" you could hear the vibrations coming from his chest, he cupped your faces forcing you to look into his deep blue eyes.
"I gotta tell ya something"
You frowned at his words

"I know I said I would be here for your whole pregnancy but-" you interrupted him and pulled away from his grip
"But what Elvis!" You raised your voice

"I got an amazing offer from the colonel" he said
You let out a sigh out of the name
"It's not something big... or well it's kinda a big deal-" he Said trying to lock with your eyes

"Elvis you promised me!"

"I know satnin, but listen baby. A satellite show!" He face light up.

"A what?"
"A satellite show baby! I be playing from a stage were millions of people will be watching"

"Elvis I'm not quite sure if I follow..."
"Baby you don't have to, colonel will tell ya all about it, in the meeting on Thursday"

You held your hands on your stomach,
"Did you already agreed to it?" You said looking down at your bump

" no, no of course not satnin, I wanted to hear you about it first" Elvis stepped closer to you

"But arranged a meeting"
"Well yeah, but baby-"

" no it's fine Elvis, just sigh-"
You looked at him, and could feel the tears form in your eyes.

"Y/N, don't be upset lil' mama, come here" he waved you over.

"I'm not upset, I'm just disappointed in you. Elvis you promised me"

"I know baby, come here" he waved you over again, he cupped your face and kissed you nose.
"I know honey, and I'm a fool for not keeping my promises to you.
But I promise to you baby, as soon as this little baby is in this world I will be there for every minute of the day"

You knew he wouldn't be able to keep his promise, but you waved it off
"When does the show air?"

"14 January..." he avoided your eyes
"ELVIS!" You slammed his arm
"You know I due to January"

You walked off angrily.
"Don't ya walk out on me when I'm talking to you!" Elvis yelled after you

You slammed the door to the room.

After 20 minutes of laying on the big king size bed in the middle of you and Elvis room, a knock came from the door.
"Come in" you answered annoyed,

Elvis slowly peaked his in from the door.
"Are y-you still mad lil' mama" he said in low voice trying not to upset you even more.

"No Elvis, I'm just tired and stressed " you crawled further into the sheets.

Elvis took one step at the time, trying to find out if you would either flip out again or invite him in to the bed.
He nodded his head trying to get an answer from you

"Ugh, come on jump in" you said and lifted the sheets up,
He smiled all over the face again like a little boy.
He crawled up, to hold you in his big arms.

"Baby I'm sorry, I shouldn't Haven taking the-" you hushed him

"Right now, there will be no talking... okay" you looked up at him
"Yes ma'am" he nodded

He slowly stroked your hair, and your eyelids started to get heavier.
You could feel his chest going up and down with his breath.
So peaceful...

"Honey, i love you" he whispered and kissed your head.
You smudged further in to his chest.
"Love you Elvis"
