Laura's POV
I shot up in my bed at 2:30am. I've been tossing and turning since I went to bed at 11 and I still haven't fallen asleep. Only 9 weeks pregnant and if I can't fall asleep now I'm not going to have much luck when I get to being 9 months pregnant. Cravings stupid fucking cravings they'll come at any time like now and right now all I wanted was ice cream. But there was none in the freezer so my best bet was ring Ross or go get it myself I took the plunge and decided to ring him.
Ross' POV
I woke up to ringing in my ear ring ring ring. Who on earth is ringing me in the middle of the night. I better check just in case it's Laura . Slowly lifting my head from my pillow and rubbing my eyes I search for my iPhone sitting on the bedside table. After rubbing the sleep from my eyes and peeling them open until they adjust to the brightness of the screen. Laura.
"Ya babe can't sleep?"
"Rossy?"
"Ya what you need"
Lifting myself from the bed I get up and pressing the phone to my ear and begin to pull on my tracksuit and grab my Walk the Moon jumper and pull it over my head.
"Cravings and I can't sleep"
"K shoot what you need I'm heading towards the car?"
I pull on my converse.
"Ice-cream"
"Type?"
"Surprise me"
"Cravings bad"
"Yep I don't know what I want well I know I want ice-cream but what I don't know"
"I'm getting in the car I'll head to the 24 hour store and than I'll be over"
"You have a key"
"Sure do babe"
"Sorry about this Ross"
"It's ok baby love you"
"Love you more"
"See you in a few minutes k"
"Love you"
"Love you to"
I hopped in the car and made my way to store. I picked up a chocolate brownie one strawberry one vanilla one and a box of gogurt. Just in case. I quickly made my way to Laura's house and made my way to the front door. I slowly let the key slide into the lock and heard the door click open. I crept up the stairs tip-toeing to not wake Ellen and Damiano. I found Laura's door in the dark and balancing the ice-cream and the plastic spoons on top I opened the door. I found Laura buried among the blankets. Once she heard me her head popped up.
"Baby?"
"Hey sweetie"
"Can't sleep"
"I know that's why I'm here"
I dropped my keys on the dresser and went to hand her the ice-cream.
"Ok princess I have chocolate,vanilla,strawberry or just in case I brought an extra box of gogurt which is it?"
"Em Strawberry "
"K will I leave the other two in the mini fridge near your dresser?"
"Yes please"
I handed her the strawberry and the spoon and placed the rest in the fridge. When I turned around towards the bed Laura had her arms stretched out looking for a hug ,lip pouted. Smirking at her I threw my phone on the bed and leaned forward wrapping her up in my arms as we collapsed back on the bed placing my head over her heartbeat. She wrapped her fingers in my hair slightly pulling and twisting her fingers around my hair. Thump thump thump. I loved listening to her heart beat I fell in love with her all over again.
"Want ice -cream?"
"Em you"
"So you and the baby were really just craving me more than ice-cream?"
"Em no the baby still wants ice -cream I want you "
I slowly lifted my head from he chest and placed my forehead on hers the moon light shining in through the blinds lighting up her face. I stared into her eyes. Those chocolate brown eyes that I pray everyday our child has if there's one thing I want in our kid is for it to have her eyes. Those eyes. Those eyes which first caught my eyes all those years ago.Those eyes that still catch my eyes.
"What you looking at Ross "
"You"
"Huh ok Romeo let me eat my ice-cream and than we can get some sleep"
"Ok"
I sat up cross legged and pulled her into my lap handing her the ice-cream tub as she grabbed two spoons.
"Thanks again babe"
"No prob sweetie don't you know by know that I'd do anything for you and the baby "
"Your gonna make a great dad you know that"
"Not as close to as good as a mom your gonna be"
She leaned up and kissed my lips. Perfect round lips. Lips that I never want to stop kissing. As we finished the ice -cream we threw the tub in the bin and we collapsed back on the bed. 3:30. I felt so bad she wasn't able to fall asleep yet all night.
"So no sleep yet tonight?"
"No I couldn't get comfy "
"Come here"
I got her to lie down on top of me as she placed her head on my chest and we tangled our legs together.
"Comfy"
"For the first time ever today yes"
"Good baby I'm glad don't worry we have no where to go tomorrow so we can just sleep all day tomorrow"
"Thank god"
I gently ran my fingers through her hair until all I could hear was her sweet little breaths and feeling her chest rise and fall as she fell into a deep sleep. I slowly drifted off after her content,
happy.
