Fantasy Becomes Reality

Chapter 68

A few weeks passed and I couldn't stop waking up every hour of the night. I wasn't in pain I just couldn't sleep. I felt bad because whenever I would wake up and toss and turn Andy would too. I finally woke up at eight in the morning and couldn't fall back asleep.

"Are you okay?" Andy asked sleepily.

"I just can't sleep." I said and he wrapped his arm around me from behind and rubbed my belly softly. I wasnt showing at all yet but it was still cute.

"What's on your mind?" He asked kissing my cheek as he nuzzled his head into my neck.

"Nothing." I said and he didn't say anything. I felt safer in his arms and cozier but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't fall asleep. Skylar started crying and I went to get up but he stopped me.

"Do not move from this bed, I'm calling out of work today." He said.

"Andy I'm fine." I said.

"No you need rest and I'm going to make sure you get it." He said.

"I'm taking care of Sky-" he paused picking her up and she already calmed down.

"And I'm calling in sick and I'm laying right back down in that bed until you fall asleep for at least another three hours." He said and I smiled weakly. When Sky calmed down Andy out her back in her crib and called out and climbed back in bed next to me pulling me into him.

"Are you in pain?" He asked.

"No I just can't sleep." I said and he kissed my cheek again and pulled the covers up more.

"Just close your eyes baby I'm here." He said and I shut my eyes as he tucked strands of hair behind my ear and before I knew it I was fast asleep.

I woke up and Andy still had his arms wrapped around me and I looked at the clock to see it had been four hours since we last woke up. He was still sleeping and I stroked the arm that he had around me. I intertwined my fingers with his and brought his hands up to my mouth and kissed it softly. He nuzzled his head into my neck more and kissed it and  I could feel him smile against my neck.

"Morning." He said.

"Morning." I said kissing his hand again and he chuckled lowly.

"If you're still tired go back to bed love." He said.

"I'm okay." I said turning to face him and he smiled as he pushed a strand of hair behind my ear and kissed me.

"You really didn't need to call in sick Andy." I said and he shook his head.

"I had to make sure you were okay, because I know if I left you wouldn't go back to sleep and you're pregnant so you need rest." He said and I smiled and kissed him again.

"I love you." I said cupping his cheek and rubbing his stubble.

"I love you too." He said.

"I care so much about you, if something is wrong you better not lie to me." He said.

"Andy I can promise you I'm not in pain, I'm not thinking about anything it was just one of those nights you know." I said and he nodded. My phone started ringing and he grabbed it for me.

"It's your dad." He said handing me it.

"Hello?" I asked.

"I want to talk to you." He said and I looked at Andy.

"Is everything okay?" I asked.

"Everything's fine, I just feel like I need to talk to you about something." He said and I buried my head into the pillow.
