Courageous

Chapter 10

Casey's P. O. V.

I sit on the couch, watching the door. I'm nervous. Justin has been gone all day.

Every day that he goes out, I get so nervous. I'm 4 months pregnant and if anything happens to him, I'll die.

I'm so frustrated because Justin won't let me leave the compound. I understand because I'm pregnant. But I hate sitting around doing nothing.

The door opens and I see Justin walk in. I rush over and hug him. Justin laughs, hugging me back, "Babe, you do this to me every day. I'm here. I'm fine."

I pull away and give him a long and hard kiss, "Don't you like being greeted this way?"

He laughs, pulling me over to sit down on the couch with him, "Of course I do. But I don't want you to be so worried every time I leave. "

I smile and shrug, "I can't help it. "

Justin moves a strand of hair out of my face, "Ya know, I think you're even sexier when you're pregnant. "

I laugh, "Well thank you"

He grabs my waist and presses his lips against mine. I wrap my arms around his neck.

I quickly pull away when I hear the door open. I look and see Ryan walking in. He awkwardly clears his throat, "I'll go to my room"

I shake my head and get off Justin's lap, "No! Stay, please!"

Ryan's had a hard time dealing with Justin and I being together. Justin and I were his best friends, but now it's Justin and I. So I try to include him as much as possible.

"I don't want to intrude on you guys."

I grab his hand and pull him back to the house, "Come on! You're not intruding! Seriously, please sit down. You and Justin can play FIFA together and I'll watch. "

Ryan nods and sits down next to Justin as they get the play station controllers out. They start playing as I lean back on the couch and watch them. I love them so much. Obviously I love Justin more. And in a different way.

I grin to myself and set my hand on my stomach, running it across my pregnant belly. Being pregnant is great. I feel amazing. But I can't wait to have this little baby in my arms.

"Do you mind?"

I grin, "Not at all. Go ahead"

Ryan sets his hands on my stomach and mutters, "I've always been fascinated at the fact that a woman can carry another human being inside of her. I don't know if I'll ever have one of my own though. "

I sigh, "Ryan, of course you will! You just haven't met the right girl yet!"

He looks at me, "I guess not"

I bite my lip as he turns to walk away, "Ryan?"

He stops and turns around, looking at me, "Yeah?"

"We're okay, right? You and I?"

Ryan smiles, "Yeah. We're great. "

I smile back as he walks into the building. I'm outside getting some hot, but fresh air.

I look as I see the compound gate open and a car drive in. I see Justin get out of the car. I see Justin looking at me then he jogs over.

He picks me up in a hug and spins me around. I laugh as he sets me down. Justin presses kisses all over my face, "Hello beautiful fiancé and mother of my baby"

I laugh and rub some dirt off his cheek, "Hello sexy fiancé and father of my baby"

Justin picks me up bridal style and carries me inside. I laugh as he carefully drops me on the couch. Justin sits down next to me and pulls me down so my head is laying on his lap.

I look up at him as he looks down at me with the most loving look. He runs his fingers through my hair and down my face.

I reach up and run my finger over his lips, "I love you. "

Justin leans down and presses his lips against mine, "And I love you. "
