"We don't have them?" I asked Richard once again, my voice cracking slightly at the end when he frowned.

"No, Mrs. King, I'm afraid we do-"

"But why not? I wanted strawberries..." I pouted, my eyes stinging with unshed tears when the butler's eyes widened.

"Baby?" I heard Nico's voice call out to me ad turned around immediately, watching him stride over to me quickly, dressed immaculately in a grey suit as he cupped my face.

"What's wrong?" He asked before looking back at Richard with a cold look.

"Why the fuck is she crying?" Nico seethed.

"It's okay Nico, I just-... I really wanted strawberries but we don't have them anymore." I whimpered, letting the tears fall as he kissed them away.

"It's okay baby, we'll get you strawberries." He said before throwing poor Richard a sharp look that made him nod in understanding before he left.

"Do you need anything else?" He asked pecking my lips when I shook my head.

"I'm fine." I sniffled, wrapping my arms around his torso and burying my face in his chest which made him sigh.

"I love you." I whispered when I felt him kiss the top of my head.

"I love you too baby." He spoke softly, rubbing my back soothingly and making me smile.

Yup, definitely my man.

God, I need those strawberries.

"Shit, I think I'm gonna throw up." I put a hand on my stomach, scrunching my face up.

"You're just nervous." Abigail adjusted my shoes when I gave her an unimpressed look.

"I'm pregnant, Abby, there's a difference." I said when she chuckled.

"I know, and I'm super excited. I'm gonna be an aunt!" She exclaimed when Ava turned to look at us.

"So am I!" She cheered when I sighed, leaning back on the chair and closing my eyes.

"Don't!" Abigail, Adriana and Ava rushed at me and I immediately sat up straighter and scowled.

"You're gonna ruin your hair." Adriana explained and I rolled my eyes.

"Can I put the dress on now?" I huffed when they all nodded and smiled at me.

Finally!

Getting up, I headed towards the changing area in the room, releasing a shaky breath at the sight of the fancy white dress.

Today's the day.

"Need any help in there?" Ava called from outside as I struggled to get into the dress.

"Nope! I'm okay!" I yelled back and heard her 'okay' as I finally managed to put it on without dying or suffocating myself, peeking through the door.

"Uh... Can someone zip me up?" I asked and Abby came in immediately, and gasped.

"You look absolutely gorgeous!" She gushed, zipping me up and helping me out where my mom was also waiting. All the women gasped in shock when they saw me, tears streaming down my mother's face.
