STRANGE [ben chilwell]

Sofia was 38 weeks pregnant today so her bump was quite big which meant it was difficult to do anything and everything.

Sofia had a larger than average bump but when she asked the doctor she said that it was completely normal and nothing to worry about.

Sofia had woken up at 3am and she struggled to get back to sleep so she stayed awake but she was now regretting that decision.

She was shattered and her body was aching everywhere, all she wanted to sleep but she couldn't.

She wanted to tell Ben and for him to hold her whilst she slept but she didn't want to be a burden.

Sofia was currently in her babies nursery, making sure everything was organised like she wanted.

Ben checked on her every morning since she fell and sprained her ankle.

He knocked on her door and Sofia answers but very slowly.

When Ben saw his girl standing at her door, he immediately knew that she was tired. Her hair was in a messy bun and she still had her pyjamas on but that's not what told him she was tired, it was the bags under her eyes.

"Are you ok?" Ben walked in and wrapped his arms around Sofias neck whilst Sofia held his waist and rested her head on his chest.

Well she tried to, her bump was massively in the way.

"I'm fine."

"Don't lie to me." Ben knew she was lying so he had to be very stern with what he was saying.

Sofia released him, closed her door and walked into her living room. Ben trailed behind her like a lost puppy but he just wanted her to tell him that she was tired.

Sofia sighs, turns around and then says, "I'm just really tired."

Ben sympathised for her as he thought that he t must be difficult to sleep with a massive bump in the way of her comfort.

"How about having a nap?"

"I can't sleep in the day." She sighed as an idea pops into his head.

"Come on." He took her across to his apartment, as she had lots of distractions in hers, and leads her to his room.

This was the first proper time she had been in his apartment as the last time she was in here was the night they met.

He took her to his bedroom and moved the covers from his freshly made bed.

"Come lie down." Sofia moved from her confused position at his door and lay in his bed.

"I won't sleep tho." He walked around the bed and sat next to where Sofia was laying.

"Just try for me." He sat there and stroked her hair to relax her and after a few minutes Sofia could feel the sleep taking over her.

Ben loved seeing his girl in his bed.

—————

Sofia had just come back from the store and as she went to the lift to go to her floor, she saw the sign that she never wanted to see again.

LIFT OUT OF ORDER
SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED

Last time she saw that sign, she fell down the stairs. She began to get flashback so she took a deep breath before getting her phone out and messaging Ben.

Sofia

Ben

Sofia

Ben
Good girl x

Ben
I'm on my way down x

Sofia was reading the messages of over and over again to calm her down.

When Ben called her a 'good girl', her knees when weak at the nickname.

She sat at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for Ben to come and help her with some of the bags.

"I'm here." Ben calls down the stairs after a few minutes.

They were on the top floor and there was a total of 10 floors so there was a lot of flights of stairs for him to go down.

"Thank you for coming." She stood up with bens help and picked up a bag of shopping before Ben stopped her.

"What are you doing?" He made her out the bags down before he took them off the floor and ran up the stairs.

"Wait there, I'll be back in a few minutes." Sofia didn't listen to him and started to go up the stairs but only made it 3 flights before getting out of breath and sitting down again.

"I told you to wait at the bottom."

"And I didn't want to." She giggles as he playfully rolls his eyes and sweeps her off her feet and carried her up the rest of the stairs bridal style.

She screamed with joy as he did and laughed as he began to climb the stairs.

"I'm not letting you walk up all the stairs." She smiles softly as Ben occasionally looks down at her.

Once they make it to their floor, Sofia expects Ben to put her down but he doesn't.

He takes her into his apartment and sits her on his sofa.

"Stay here, whilst I get something." She nods her head as she's too tired to say or do anything anymore so she definitely won't move a muscle.

A few minutes later, Ben comes back with a box in his hand and an excited smile on his face.

"Let's do the belly cast."
