AURORA VALENTINA MARINO

"Baby, I'm going to Diamonds today."

"What happened to working from home until after the babies? Bri has it covered." Eli called out from the bathroom.

"Don't worry, I'm not staying for long. I just need to collect some paperwork."

"Ok but come and have a shower with me first." He said and I turned to face him, seeing him standing at the bathroom door completely naked. "You know, to save water."

"Is that to actually shower or it have sex."

"Er... both?"

"Well it's going to have to be the first one, my bump is too big for us to fuck against the wall."

"I can make it work." He said with a smirk on his face as I walked into the bathroom.

"No, you won't. It's not happening, Eli." I started to get undressed before stepping in and I heard him groan to himself.

He came in, standing behind me, pressing his hardness against my lower back. He pressed kisses along my shoulder before going up my neck and along my jaw. Eli's hands dropped down to my bump, lifting it up slightly and I sighed, leaning my head back on his chest.

It was honestly the best feeling, they're so heavy.

"30 weeks, not long left." He whispered.

"We still haven't picked names."

"It's ok, we still have a bit of time left. We'll brainstorm when you get back." I nodded and he started washing my back before turning me around and washing the rest of my body.

Once we were done, he wrapped a towel around me and I went back to our room to moisturise and get dressed.

I looked over at the grey curtain that was between our room and what was going to be the babies' room.

"Hey, baby?" I called out and Eli came out of the bathroom.

"Yes, my love."

"When will we decorate the babies' room?" A smirk appeared on his face and he took my hand.

"Come." Eli drew back the curtain and I looked in, gasping lightly. I looked around, seeing a jungle themed room with three cribs, with walking space between them, in the middle. There was a swing chair with blossom flowers and vines going up the stand holding it up. I threw my arms around him, hugging him tight.

"It looks beautiful, when did you do all of this?"

"Every time you went for a nap or went to bed for the night, I stayed up painting. Here, I left a bit for us to do together." He said, pointing at one of the walls.

There were yellow outlines of three giraffes. "I was thinking we could paint them together and then we figure out names we can put their name above the giraffe. They'll be height charts for each of them and-" I can't believe he did this. I cut him off, smashing my lips against his and I felt him smile into it. We pulled away when we couldn't go another second without breathing.

"I love it. You're going to be an amazing dad." I whispered against his lips.

-

"Angelo." I called in a singsong voice. "I've got what I need we can go back home."

"I'll see you in a bit." He said, pecking Bri. "I love you."

"I love you too." She called out as we left the club and walked to the car.
