Lizzie took me on a long walk  in the  national forest to make my back better and ease up because it's been killer recently. She's been really good looking after me and making sure I've got everything I need.

"Babe do you want to go home now?" Lizzie asks following up behind me "no I'm good". I wait at the top of the hill for her and laugh seeing her struggle to reach the top "come on honey, I'm the one carrying  extra kilograms" she sighs and holds her hands up coming towards me "come here"  I walk over to her and hold her hands pulling her into me "let's get to the top and then we can go home" she nods and holds my hips as I lead the way.  "I don't understand how your so fast. Are you sure bluey is as big and as heavy as you say?" I smile "yeah! I'm not lying. I'm just healthy" she laughs and wraps her arms around my waist "I know. I know your not lying" she kisses my neck making me hum.   I tap her hands "come on, let's get to the top".  We reach the top and look across the vast forest, Lizzie pulls me into her and kisses my forehead "it's so beautiful" I whisper and stare into her green eyes. "You proposed to me somewhere like this" she cups my face "and it was the best decision of my life" I smile softly. Her hand cups my stomach whilst her other hand holds me to her securely "and now we need to take Bluey to the grand canyons" I smile and leans on her shoulder "and to the pottery class where we first met".

Lizzie drives us home after picking up something from the shop we need for the baby's nursery. We pull into the drive and Scarletts car is parked empty "why's Scarlett here?" I ask my wife with a serious tone "why would I know? I've been out with you" I sigh "it better not be something to do with Romain again" she parks the car and we both grab our bags. Leias in the window barking excited to see us and I wave at her whilst walking over to the front door. Lizzie unlocks it with her key causing Leia to swoop around us like an eagle being manick. I drop my bag on the floor and bend down and hug her "hi baby" I coo and massage her face "I missed you. Did you miss me?" She licks my face making me laugh "aww Leia" I stand up and watch Lizzie fuss over her. "Can I get you a drink?" Lizzie asks and I nod "yeah but I want to know where Scarlett is. It's a bit weird her car being here and no sign of her. Maybe I should phone and check everything's okay". She makes me a glass of water which I drink all in one go "do you want to watch me add the photos to the nursery?" I shake my head "no but I don't want to help" Lizzie smiles "come on then". I lead the way up the stairs and to the nursery, Lizzie opens the door to Scarlett in the rocking chair. "W-what are you doing here?' I ask walking over and hugging her "I'm helping Lizzie out" I frown "with what?" Scarlett pulls away and points at the floor. "Oh my god!".

The puppy gets up and trots over to us "no way!" I squeal and bend down and pick it up

The puppy gets up and trots over to us "no way!" I squeal and bend down and pick it up. I pet it's head and let it lick my chin "do you love her?" Lizzie asks making me nod with me teary eyes "she's the softest thing ever" Lizzie and Scarlett laugh "goo because she's yours". I stare at Scar and then at my wife "you got me another puppy?" Lizzie nods and strokes the puppy "you said you wanted one" I smile widely and hug her with one arm "I love her".  I kiss the puppy's head and hug her "what's her name then?" Scarlett asks "ummm Rey" Lizzie smiles "Rey, as in star wars force awakens Rey?" I nod and put Rey on the floor "it's cute" Scarlett says and the three of us watch her run around the nursery. "Has she been introduced to Leia yet?" "No we wanted you to do that" I pick Rey up and look at the two of them "come on then".
