Chapter 52. Baby clothes

A few weeks later...
(Aria is one and a half months pregnant.)

Aria POV
After the situation with my parents ended I felt a sense of relief and a lot better but my nightmares still continued to haunt me through my sleep. I tried my best to ignore my nightmares as I slept but they got so intense.

Me and Layla were in the living room watching tv together while Caleb and Aaron were in the kitchen talking. "Does the baby kick yet?" Layla asked curiously. "N-Not y-yet." I answered her softly.

She rubbed her hand over my small baby bump smiling happily. "I can't wait to meet this little nugget already." She expressed making me laugh at the nickname she gave my baby.

Well Caleb made up that nickname first and now everyone was calling our baby their little nugget. "Have you went shopping yet for the baby?" She asked me. "N-No." I answered.

"What! Why?" She asked shocked. "I d-don't k-know." I replied. "Girl let's go shopping." She got up from the couch ushering me to get up and follow her. "B-But w-we c-can't g-go b-by o-ourselves." I reasoned with her.

"I know silly we're going to convince them to take us." She pointed to Aaron and Caleb sitting in the kitchen completely oblivious to what we were up to.

"Come on you convince Caleb and I'll convince Aaron." She urged me confidently. "O-Okay." I agreed while following behind her into the kitchen. I made my way over to Caleb while she walked over to Aaron.

"Hi beautiful." He smiled at me kissing me gently on my forehead as soon as I walked up to him. "Y-You l-look r-really n-nice t-today d-daddy." I complimented him with a huge smile on my lips.

"Thank you princess." He thanked me while I played with the collar of his shirt, acting like I was fixing it up for him even tho it was perfectly fine. "You look gorgeous princess." He complimented me back.

"T-Thank y-you b-but y-you l-look r-really g-good d-daddy." I complimented him again while smoothly running my hand down his firm chest and abs over his shirt.

I kept eye contact with him smiling softly at him. He smirked grabbed my hand firmly and then pulled me closer to him by my waist. "What do you want princess?" He asked, knowing I needed something.

I looked up at him smiling sheepishly at how well he knew me. "C-Can w-we g-go s-shopping f-for b-baby c-clothes?" I asked softly. "We don't know the gender of the baby yet princess." He reminded me.

"I-It's o-okay w-we c-can b-buy b-both f-for a g-girl a-and b-boy. I c-can s-save t-the c-clothes c-cause w-we're h-having m-more b-babies a-after t-this o-one." I said happily. R-Right d-daddy w-we're g-going t-to h-have m-more?" I asked him.

"Of course princess, however many babies your heart desire I'll make it happen." He confirmed sweetly. "S-So c-can w-we g-go t-then? P-Please d-daddy." I begged pleadingly.

His hand wrapped around the front of my neck gently as he pulled me forward a little more. "Sure princess as long as you promise to be a good girl for me." He reasoned with me.

"O-Okay I p-promise I-I'll b-be a g-good g-girl d-daddy." I promised him happily. "You listen so well princess." He praised me causing my cheeks to redden in excitement and happiness.

He kissed my lips delicately causing my heart to flutter. He was always so gentle yet rough with me but these past few weeks he's been only gentle and delicate with me.

I wasn't complaining I found it sweet and kind that since he noticed my small baby bump he's been almost afraid to touch me too harshly.

Anything I asked him for or needed he didn't even question it he simply got it for me happily. Since I met him he took good care of me and now that I'm pregnant with our first baby he's been taking care of me even more.
