"Lauren..wake up.." I slowly opened my eyes to see Paul standing next to the bed. He was fresh out the shower and his Axe smelled so good. "We have to start getting ready." I pulled the covers over my head like a child who didn't want to go to school. "You can sleep on the way there.." He took the cover from over my head. "Fine..." I mumbled getting up.

Today wasn't my day; this was gonna be my first and my last child. I went into the bathroom and took a nice hot shower. The water hitting my body was heavenly. I got out and wrapped a towel around my body. But mentally groaned when I felt something coming up. I threw up in the toilet, and then brushed my teeth. I felt terrible.

I went back into the bedroom to get dressed. "How do you feel?" Paul asked as he packed his suitcase. "Better if you weren't breathing the same air as me" I snapped. He put the suitcase on the floor. "I'll just go breath some air in the kitchen then.." I changed into this: http://www.polyvore.com/untitled_95/set?id=97856037, before I headed downstairs. His mom was cooking some breakfast while everyone sat around the table conversing. I took my usual seat next to Paul. "Sorry I was so bitchy back there.." I apologized. "Its fine" he said." I know you aren't feeling well today."

His dad prayed over the food before we ate. "It's going to be boring around here without you" Mark complained. "You guys are coming to see the game against the falcons right?" Paul questioned. "Yeah but it was still fun when you lived here.." Paul chuckled a little. "We can't live together forever. I do have a fiancé, a child on the way and 2 dogs." "So Diesel and Cain love me! They wouldn't mind if I stayed with you a couple of days again. What could possibly go wrong?" We looked over at him. "You remember what happened the last time you stayed over?" I interjected.

He stayed silent and ate his food. "So who's been babysitting your dogs?" Erica questioned. "My pet sitter, Susan, she loves Cain and Diesel. She says they've been perfect angels since I've been gone" Paul answered. I scoffed "Those dogs are a handful" I added, "And adding a baby into the mix, isn't going to make my life easier." "Cain and Diesel love babies" Paul told me."Cain and Diesel aren't going to be playing with Zion until he's older" I replied. "Zion?" I realized what I said. "Zion, its a boys name" I explained. "It means heaven. I loved the name since I was little." "I kinda like it too" Paul said, intertwining our fingers.

"Alright ma, its time for us to go." Paul embraced his mother and father. "Tell Dave & Joe I love them and I'll call them later." She nodded and then gave me a hug next. "Keep my son in check, okay?" I laughed a little. "I'll try, the dogs aren't the only ones who can be a handful." "I heard that" Paul voiced. "I know." I hugged Erica next. "We really need to spend some girl time together" she suggested. "I'll see what I can do" I responded. Once everyone said their good byes; Paul's father agreed to drive us to the airport.

-4 Hours Later- Baltimore, Maryland-

I opened the front door of our house and walked in. "Home sweet home" I recited, dropping my suitcase by my side. Paul walked in with the rest of the suitcases. "Thanks for packing your life in these suitcases..". I ignored him and went into the kitchen, looking around. I kinda missed this place, I hadn't been here in months.

"I'mma go pick up Cain & Diesel from Susan" Paul told me, picking up his car keys. I nodded, looking thought the stocked refrigerator. "Thank you, Griffin" I said, under my breath. The front door closed and I grabbed some yogurt out the fridge.

I went into the den, sat on the couch and turned on the flat screen to some Criminal Minds. This was my favorite episode. The door opened again and I heard paws on the hard floor headed in my direction. Cain and Diesel ran up to me excitedly. "Hey you two, did you miss me?". They sat down on the floor near my feet. "I think they missed me more" I bragged. "They know who raised them" Paul commented. We watched the last few minutes of Criminal Minds. "So when are you going back to the facility?" I questioned.

"Tomorrow, I have to talk to Ozzie and John. I'll probably suit up and practice a little" he informed. I got the last bit of yogurt out of the container. "But I doubt I'll start" he sighed. I knew playing on the Ravens was hard for him sometimes. He didn't start that often because of all the star players on the team. I sat on his lap. "You'll get your chance, and then everyone is going to know how good you are." He smiled.

"What do you want for dinner tonight?" he asked stretching out on the couch. "I really want some Chinese food-no wait, ice cream. God, that sounds good right now" I said, licking my lips at the thought. "Well I'll order some Panda Moon then." He pulled out his phone and was about to order when I stopped him. "I want pizza." He took his phone from his ear. "Are you SURE you want pizza?" he asked. I nodded. "Positive." Then he ordered pepperoni and sausage pizza and some breadsticks.

Once the pizza came we sat it on the counter and ate straight out the box. My ring shone brightly under the lights. "How does Lauren Kruger sound? Mrs. Kruger? Mrs.K?" "It sounds beautiful..just like you" he complimented, smiling. His smile always gave me butterflies.
