Chapter Forty-Six
Dominic Ryan

Eighteen Months Later....

It's been a year and a half since Chris and I got married and since then, Addison and Ryan also got married. They had a small wedding on the beach and it was perfect for them. It was tons of fun and Chris and I couldn't be happier for them. Today, Addison and Ryan were coming over. Addison was eight and a half months pregnant and she could pop any day. She and Ryan got pregnant not too long after their wedding. Chris and I had talked about having children, but we didn't know if we were ready yet. I mean, I was only twenty-one when we got married. But, marriage has matured me and I think I'm beginning to warm up to the idea of having a family sometime soon. I'm still young, at twenty-three, but at least I'll have a husband to help raise a baby.

"Pregnant lady comin' through!" Addison yelled as she and Ryan walked through the door.

Ryan was trailing behind her carrying a duffel bag that had things in it in case Addison went into labor.

"Hey love" I said hugging Addie "how are you?"

"I'm good" she said tiredly "I haven't been able to sleep lately"

"Well that does come with being almost nine months pregnant. How's my little boy doing?" I asked rubbing her swollen stomach.

"He's very energetic" she rubbed her belly "likes to keep mummy up at night don't you?"

I laughed "hey babe" I greeted Ryan kissing his cheek "need help carrying?"

"This is why you're great"

I took the duffel bag from his hands "oh my gosh what's in this?"

"All the essentials. Makeup, razor, shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, blowdryer, mousse, clothes of course-"

"Where are you going? Into labor or Europe for a month?"

"Ha. Ha. Very funny" she said sarcastically.

"Chris honey, hurry up! Ryan needs to get out of here!" I called.

"Ouch" Ryan said placing a hand over his heart

"I'm coming!" Chris said walking down the stairs funbling with the buttons of his shirt.

"C'mere" I said waving him over.

He dropped his hands from the shirt in defeat. I grabbed his shirt and began doing up the buttons.

"There. All done" I said patting his chest.

"You're a life saver" he said kissing me. He grabbed his golf clubs and headed to the car with Ryan.

"Bye honey! Bye babe!" I smiled.

"Bye darlin!"

"Bye babe!"

"Bye Addison I loooove youuu!" Ryan called.

"Bye Ryan!" She chuckled.

Addison and I plopped on the couch and turned on the TV. She couldn't do much considering how far along she was. Plus, Ryan was watching her like a hawk. He made sure he knew everything she was doing at every moment of every day. Today you could say, was her day of freedom.

We had already watched three episodes of Pretty Little Liars; much to my dismay. It was Addison's favourite show and since she was pregnant and hormonal, I didn't want to argue with her.

"Alright, I gotta pee" she slowly stood from the couch.

"Ad, you went literally forty-five minutes ago"
