After - A Delena Story

34 - Baby Shower -

Today was my last shift before maternity leave, it wasn't too hectic which was great. I'm going to miss working with Jo but I don't mind since I get time with the baby.

It's 10pm when I get home, I'm definitely not gonna miss the long drives.

I don't yell that I'm home just in case Damon's asleep, instead I go into the kitchen to grab a glass of water and quietly go upstairs.

When I walk into the bedroom, Damon's fast asleep with the lamp on, a book on his chest and his glasses barely hanging onto his face.

He looks adorable.

I slowly walk over to him, taking his glasses off and placing them on the bedside table, the same with the book. Then I turn the lamp off and go into the bathroom.

I wanted to shower but now I just want to go to bed, so I take off my makeup, change into pyjamas, brush my hair and teeth and get into bed.

Damon pulls me into his side, wrapping his arms around me.

"How was work?" He mumbles sleepily.
"Normal, how was your book?"

"Good actually," He answers and I chuckle,"Goodnight," He whispers, kissing my head.

"Night," I mutter, closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

The baby shower Caroline is throwing for us is today, I probably should've asked Damon before agreeing to this but she was being annoying so I didn't have a choice.

"I can't believe you agreed to this," He groans as he walks out of the bathroom.
"She was begging and wasn't going to stop," I say, getting out of bed.

Damon pulls a black T-shirt, black jeans and black boxers out of the drawer.

"Really?" I ask.
"What?"
I gesture to the clothes and he looks at them then back at me.

"It's what I always wear," He answers.
"Exactly, this is our baby shower you need to dress up." I tell him.

"No way."
"Yes way," I remark.

"Fine," He sighs, opening his wardrobe and pulling a navy blue dress shirt out.

"Happy?" He asks sarcastically, holding the shirt up.
"It's good enough," I smile.

"I'm gonna have a shower, dry your hair," I say, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before going into the bathroom.

I'm wearing a navy blue dress with white buttons going up it and a small bow wrapped around the waistline, It's one of my favourite dresses snd coincidently matches Damon's shirt.

I quickly curled my hair, did my daily makeup look, which is now concealer, mascara and lip gloss because I simply can't be bothered anymore, and threw on a pair of white shoes with a tiny heel.

"You need to help me, Caroline has everyone helping set up and I'm not about to be her slave," Damon rambles as he walks in.

I laugh, "Okay I'm coming."

"SHE'S COMING!" Caroline screams when we leave the bedroom.

Damon and I walk down the stairs and Caroline yells, "Welcome to your baby shower!"

The house is filled with white,blue,pink and beige balloons, there's bunting on the walls and a big banner above the fireplace that says 'oh baby' in all caps, Damon thought it was the cringiest thing ever but I thought it was cute.

Damon and I helped plan because we knew if we left it to Caroline we'd regret it.

We came up with games, food, drinks, decorations and a baby gift registry.
