Someone You Really Love // A Damon Albarn Romance

32 - Moving In

June 1996 / 3 months before birth

Damon's POV

//

The relief I felt having Mare living with me. There was more than enough space so it only made sense that she move in.

There was a spare room we can use for the twins when they come bounding into our lives. 3 more months!

Despite the hormones Mare was experiencing, she wasn't being as dramatic as she was feeling but it made me laugh actually. We had the guys over and I got such a kick seeing Alex, Dave and Graham interact with a fully pregnant Mare. You'd think they'd never seen a pregnant woman before it cracked me up seeing how careful they were being around her. But I was surprised how they were about everything to be fair, they'd often called around to the house to see whether we needed anything. They tried not to feel like they were over staying or intruding but whenever they were over we'd enjoy a couple beers, Mare sticking to the non-alcoholic beverages of course.

We all treated her like a queen, and she now had her own arm chair with legs that raised up. I'd do anything for her so it was certainly a vision to behold, my beautiful blooming partner.

Maryanne's POV

//

I was really enjoying living with Damon and it was very comforting knowing that he was there, especially during my hormonal pregnancy lady meltdowns.

One evening while relaxing on the big Queen sized bed we'd recently purchased and thought of the twins names.
The boy would be Alexander Damien Albarn, and girl Antonia Lily Albarn.

We'd bought a variety of baby names books but none really stuck, but this came to us while watching TV in bed and it fit!

Damon's POV

//

I loved seeing Mare's things around the apartment, it meant she was a part of me and seeing it visually was something else.

After we'd decided on the names, I gave her a kiss and a cheeky neck then covered up my horniness with finishing with baby bump kiss before heading to the fridge and grabbing a beer. I then walked to the balcony and sat on the reclining deck chair and lit a cigarette.

Lying back and blowing out the smoke, I gazed up at the stars that had appeared in the sky and thought back from the moment of seeing Mare for the first time to where we are now. Taking a gulp of beer my mind then flickered to the immense guilt I still felt for everything that happened with Justine and how delaying ending it all caused a lot of upset just because I didn't have the balls to be upfront and honest with her.

I'm not ashamed to say I was fucking horny, and to see Mare now in her full female form was so sexy to me. She was gorgeous... so so gorgeous. I'd tried initiating some sexual moments when the moment seemed right but she wasn't having it. Wasn't having sex while pregnant supposed to help induce labour? Anyway.... I get it, she didn't feel attractive right now and just not in the mood. I decided to try and see how long I could go for and decided I'd tease her now and then, but I know when the time comes I won't be able to hold it in long enough. God what am I like....

Blinking and laughing quietly to myself at all my thoughts, I stubbed out the cigarette leaving it in the ashtray, it was getting chilly now and breeze circulating around me, so I finished my beer and walked inside sliding the balcony doors behind me. Mare was softly snoring in bed, I stood and remembered her camera birthday gift took some snaps, she looked ethereal, so at peace I couldn't resist. Even if I never showed her the photos, to have them on me on tour or any time away from her would be a reminder of this pure love that is mine.
