(Richard's POV)

Before we got out of the Hospital, we still had to talk to the doctors about the baby. Olivia was three weeks pregnant, but she was still sick from her stomach. The doctor said she has to recover from the bacterial infection as quick as possible and she can't get sick anymore times during the pregnancy, for safety. I was nervous and excited at the same time. I was going to stay with her the whole time and I will be there when she needs me. When we finally managed to go home, I called her father and told him what happened. However, I didn't say that his daughter was pregnant. We would keep it a secret for now, things were a bit uncertain. Mr. Rogers told me that he would go to The Independent offices and work with the staff for some days.

-What if... I can't make it? –she said, petting sleepy Theodor in her lap. I sat down on the couch beside her and wrapped my arm around her shoulders.

-If you can't make it, then we will face it as another fact of life. But you will make it, I know so. –I said, kissing her forehead. Mirtle and Kasimir also jumped into our laps and, in some minutes, they were sleeping.

-Do you want a boy or a girl? –she asked, eyes sparkling, cheeks blushing, a smile on her lips.

-I want him or her to be healthy. I don't care if it's a boy or a girl. –I said, smiling back at her.

-For a girl, I like Alice. For a boy, I like... -she couldn't finish. I knew exactly what she wanted to say.

-You like Christopher. And Mitchell. –I said, hugging her. She sighed.

-I can't choose the same names... They are dead.

-You can choose. I don't mind. –I said, lifting her chin up with my finger. She stared at me, confused.

-No, if it's a boy we will choose another name. –she said, trying to act normal.

-Anything you wish, my dear. Now, you hungry? –I said, getting up and making my way to the kitchen. I opened the fridge looked around. I took two yogurts, grabbed some apples and dry fruits. I took what I needed and made my way to the couch. The cats were sleeping between Olivia's legs, so I sat down carefully, trying not to wake them up.

-Here. Our bean needs to be strong. –I said, handing her the food. She smiled and we ate in silence.

-The good thing is that in two days it's going to be the New Year's eve. So these days we are not working, they count like a vacation. –she said, chewing her apple. I nodded.

-You're right. More time at home... with you. –I said, smiling at her. We finished our food and carefully, she came beside me and hugged my body. I took my shoes off and lay down on the couch, so she could stay above me.

-I don't want to work anymore. I want to stay here with you, forever. –she whispered, kissing my neck and making my skin shiver.

-Me too. But we both know things are not that easy. –I said, making a small braid in her hair.

-Do you like Alice? –she asked, changing the subject. I imagine a cute little girl with brown hair like Olivia and blue eyes, running in our backyard, playing with our cats. A silly smile grew on my lips, just to imagine how it would be.

-I like it. And now I just came out with a name for a boy. Tyler. –I said, trying to cheer her up a bit. She looked at me, her eyes were sparkling and a smile formed on her full lips.

-I like it, honey! Where did you get that from? –she asked me.

-I don't know, It just came out. –I said, laughing. She slid her fingers under my shirt and tickled my belly softly.

-Then Tyler will be. Tyler Rogers Armitage. How does that sound? –she said, laughing.

-I love it. Alice Rogers Armitage? –I said, laughing too.

-Sounds perfect. –she whispered, kissing my lips. Her hand was already undoing the belt of my trousers and her nails were scratching my skin softly, making me shivers all over my body.

-Olivia... -I whispered, between the kiss. She opened the button and zipper in my trousers and I could feel her smiling against my lips.

-I miss you... My gorgeous man. –she whispered, putting her hand inside my underwear in a very silly way. My sex was already hard and pulsing with desire, so I just let her do anything she wanted with me.

-I can't wait to see your belly grow... -I said, kissing her naked shoulder. I touched her belly softly with my hand and I felt a tingle up my spine. I couldn't wait to feel my baby punching. She turned around to face me and adjust the blankets above us.

-Believe me, it's not that special. I look like a barrel. –she said, making me laugh. I kept my hand on her belly and smiled at her.

-My gorgeous barrel. Do you want to marry after our baby is born? –I asked, rubbing my thumb near her belly button.

-I don't know. Maybe we can do it before. –she said, surprising me completely.

-I thought you didn't like to be a barrel. Well, dressed in a wedding dress you will look like a fat snowman. –I said, joking. She made that fake offended face and punched my chest with her hand, making me laugh even more.

-How dare you?! You bastard, I'm no snowman! –she said, still laughing. I pulled her naked body closer to mine and kissed her hair.

-But seriously. Do you want to marry now? Before your belly starts growing. –I said, almost whispering.

-I can think about that. But a small ceremony would do, I don't want it to be exaggerated. –she said, kissing my collar bone softly. Slowly, I ran my fingers down her belly again and got me smiling to myself.

-Anything you wish. I'm already a man full of luck. I've never been so happy, Olivia. We are going to have a baby, we will be husband and wife a few weeks from now and... I've got everything I've ever wished for. Right here. –I said, pulling her into a kiss. I think that was the most honest I could ever be in my life. I felt her smile between the kiss and she slowly stopped.

-Where have you been all my life, Richard? –she said, staring at me with those gorgeous blue eyes.

-I've been waiting for you. –I said, touching her face with my hand. We both stayed like that. Just looking at each others faces like a map, where the treasures were in our eyes and mouths. Kisses were shared again and bodies were filled with love. I was a man that never had much in life. I've always had what was really necessary. A home, a family and enough money for food and other things. But now, I was the richest man on Earth. Not because I had my wallet overflowing with money, but because I had a woman and a baby on the way. And, just with that, I had everything I needed. Nothing else mattered. Just my love for her and for our little bean. 



This chapter felt so good to write... I just love their love! hehe 
The next chapters will be a bit in a hurry because I'm DYING to write the Wedding and the birth of their baby, but I will try not to rush things up too much :)
