Through the Years with Nick and Charlie

3rd Anniversary

***very, very sexual😜 (there'll be another warning)

Nick:

I just got home from training about 30 minutes ago. I took a shower while Charlie finished up on dinner before we sat at the table and ate tacos. We were talking about our days until Charlie mentioned that he's feeling a bit stressed with everything going on this month. I went over my mental calendar noticing that we have our anniversary, Charlie's birthday, Charlie's concert, and whatever rugby shit I've got.
"So, what are you thinking we should do to help you not be so stressed?!?" I ask, mid bite. "I don't know, did you have anything planned for us ?!?" "Well I figured you wouldn't want to do too much so I was thinking we could go up to the cabin for our anniversary weekend!!" I say hoping that he'll agree "are you free that weekend" "sorta" I say as Charlie tilts his head at me before he pulls out his phone. I glance at it and he's scrolling to April 14th, our anniversary, on our joint calendar "you've got a match on the same day, Nick" "yea, but it's at 9am and on a Saturday, so we'll go to my match, leave from the facility to the cabin, and stay the night into Sunday afternoon/evening!!" I smile while I speak, proud of myself for this well thought out plan "mmmk, what about Nellie though??!" Charlie asks, glancing over at her "already asked mum!!" Charlie smiles, shaking his head " I hate how good you are at that!!" "At what?!" I ask with a nervous chuckle "planning our holidays and everything, you always know what to do!!" "I just know what you like" I smirk "yea I bet you do!" Charlie replies, fully aware of what I was getting at, but I would like to actually finish my meal so I change the subject. "Anywayysss, what are you thinking for your birthday?!?" "It's a Wednesday so I'll be at school and concert rehearsal!!" "Boooo!!" I let out "I don't mind, really" "we can do something that weekend, even if it's simple like going out for dinner!?!" I suggest "But you'll be home at 8pm, nothings open then" "I'll make it work if you want something specific, just tell me!!" "I'll have to think about it" he says. I can tell he doesn't want to think about it too much right now so I change the subject again while we finish the rest of our dinner.

****about two weeks later****

Nick:

It's the 14th of April, Charlie and I's 3rd anniversary, unfortunately this year had to be a bit different because of my rugby trainings for the World Cup, and Charlie currently being pregnant. Despite everything that's stopping us from our usual full out plans, I did my best this morning by ordering donuts and hot chocolate to our house and leaving fresh flowers with a note on the island. I also packed the car with most of our bags already, organized the food that we're taking to the cabin, and dropped Nellie of at mum's just so it's easier for when it's time for Charlie to leave.

Charlie:

This morning was a struggle to be honest. Nick and i's anniversary and I get to start it off with a bit of morning sickness. It wasn't too bad but I definitely wasn't going to tell Nick about it because he was already upset that he would have to leave me alone this morning, no need to make him feel worse over what feels like a stomach ache.
By the time I felt well enough, I had to start getting ready if I wanted to make it in time for nicks match, so I take a quick shower, get ready, and finish packing my bags for this weekend before I head downstairs, only to be surprised with a cute little set up.
There was a box of donuts, a cup of what I assumed was hot chocolate or tea, and fresh flowers with a card in them. I smiled to myself when I realized that those flowers were the same ones we used for our wedding, lavender, white roses, and African daises!! I picked through them to read the little note that was left:

"Happy year 3 baby!!! Honored to have you by my side through it all...I love you more than you'll ever know..,yours forever"

Everything was so cute, but I'm in a bit of a rush, so I pack up everything that needs to go into the car, grab my breakfast, and lock up the house so that I can finally head out!
It's the same 40 minute drive to the facility, but this time it felt as if it didn't take as long, so thankfully, I made it in time for kick off.
It feels so weird being here by myself after having Ollie with me for the past couple of weeks, but it's cool to think about how I'll have "our little bean" with us all time in a couple months!!
