A year and a half later.....
I carry a stack of blankets into the new house, putting them in the bedroom. "Sit down, babe." Ryan says, coming up behind me.
He begins rubbing my shoulders and I instantly relax. "There's so much to do. I have to unpack." I sigh.
"Aria, I've unpacked everything already. There's nothing left to do."
"I have to sweep the floors." I say.
"I already did."
I turn around and lean my forehead against his chest. "What would I do without you?" I say quietly.
"You'll never find out." He says. "Come on, sit down."
I grab his hand and follow him to the living room. I sit down then get ready to get back up when I hear the doorbell ring but Ryan makes me stay. "It's Hayden and Lacey." I say.
"I'll get it. You wait here."
I sigh. "Fine."
After a long moment, Hayden and Lacey appear in the doorway. "Hey, Aria." Hayden says, kissing my cheek.
"Hey." I smile.
"I don't know how you do it." Lacey says, putting her hands on her belly. "I am so tired. How far along are you now?"
"Thirty weeks." I smile, placing my hands on my huge stomach.
"You're huge. I'm only twenty three weeks along so I won't be that big for a while." She chuckles.
Her and Hayden sit on the other couch while Ryan sits next to me. "Her feet are all swollen because she's stubborn and won't sit down." Ryan says, shaking his head.
"Women. Can't live with them, can't live without them." Hayden says, putting his arm around Lacey.
"You guys are having a boy, right?" Ryan asks.
"Yeah." Lacey says. "I wanted a girl."
"I wanted a girl and I got one." I grin.
"I'll get a son next time." Ryan sighs.
"You guys are planning on having another?" Lacey asks.
"Maybe." Ryan says, glancing at me.
"I wanted at least one but two at the most. We'll see where it goes." I shrug.
"Did you bring the bag over?" Lacey asks.
"What bag?" Hayden asks.
"Seriously?" Lacey groans. "Now we have to go home to get it."
"We can bring it over tomorrow." He says.
"Help me up. We have to get it." She says.
He sighs, standing up. He helps her up then holds her hand. "We'll be back. I forgot a few things at home."
"Okay. My parents won't be here for a while still. So there's no need to hurry." I say.
"Yeah. My parents won't be here for another two hours." Ryan says.
"We'll be back." Lacey smiles.
I watch as they leave, closing the door behind them. "Move down." I tell Ryan.
He moves to the end of the couch and I lay across the couch, resting my feet on his lap. He gently massages my feet and I moan. "You can't be making sounds like that around me." He chuckles.
"We have an hour before they get back. Let's play." I smirk.
He pushes my legs apart, slipping his hand up my dress. "I can't wait for you to be my wife." He smiles.
"After I lose some of my baby weight I'll be all yours." I smile.
"I'm gonna make you mine right now." He says, unbuttoning his jeans.
********************************
In the beginning, my mom mistreated me for being with Ryan. But after her and my dad got back together she did't care anymore. She has apologized several times for the way she has treated me. Ryan and my dad get along great. We've gone to the lake together a few times where Ryan and I created new memories.
Hayden met Lacey a couple months after I got back together with Ryan. About a month after they found out she was pregnant, he proposed to her but they don't plan on getting married anytime soon.
Ryan's family has treated me well, although there always seems to be tension between Steven and I. Grace is amazing and is extremely excited about being a grandma. She has helped so much throughout my pregnancy. Dylan is still a little asshole but thankfully he no longer makes passes at me.
Ryan and I are extremely close. When I found out I was pregnant, he couldn't be happier. We didn't leave the bed for days after that. We just moved into our own house with three bedrooms. I've never been happier. Ryan is my life.
