The Bond

29

Okay I know last night what I probably said was a low blow but I was just so angry at her! I mean, I've supported her through everything and even forgave her for lying to me about not only being a hunter, but about sleeping with Killian, but she couldn't just suck it up and be happy for me. I don't understand why she was so upset. She knows how much I love Sebastian, I've even told her on multiple occasions that I want to spend the rest of my life with him. So why was she so shocked last night?

Shaking my head, I take another look at my ring and sigh. I can't help but think about what she said last night though. I mean, do we really even know each other? Does he know my middle name? My birthday? My parents' names?

What if we really are rushing into this?

"What are you overthinking about?" Sebastian asks as he wraps his arms around my stomach.

I look at him through the mirror of my vanity and sigh.

"Do you think we're ready for marriage? Like, do you you think we know enough about each other?" I ask him.

"Is this about what Vanessa said last night?"

"No, maybe... I don't know just answer the question."

"Yes. I do think we are ready for marriage and what do you think we don't know about each other?"

"I don't know. What's your middle name? Your parents' names? Your birthday? Gosh, Sebastian I don't even know your birthday!" I exclaim.

"After a few centuries your birth date kind of just goes right over your head. But I vaguely remember it being in October." He says with a shrug. "As for my parents' names, it's Elizabeth and William Steele. My middle name is Simon. Anything else?"

"Wait... Your full name is Sebastian Simon Steele?" I ask with a snicker.

"Yes." He answer begrudgingly.

"Ha! That's hilarious." I say with a laugh.

"Yes, I've been told that millions of times. Is that enough? Do you think we still don't know enough about each other?"

"Well I'm guessing you already know everything about me." I say as I look at him.

"Maybe." He mumbles as he blushes.

"Oh you're so cute when you blush!" I say in a baby voice.

"Does this mean you're going to stop thinking about what Vanessa said?" He asks as he pulls away.

"I guess." I sigh. I'm about to turn around and kiss him when I feel movement in my belly. My eyes go wide.

I've been so worried these last few weeks because I haven't felt the baby move and because I was freaking myself out by reading to many mommy books Sebastian had to ban them from the house. But now...

"Sebastian! The baby moved!" I exclaim as I press his hand against my stomach. A frown etches across his face as he feels nothing.

"I swear he moved just a second ago, I- Oh! Did you feel that?" I exclaim when I feel him give a good solid kick.

I grin when Sebastian's eyes widen as well, confirming that I wasn't just imagining it.

When we feel another kick we both exclaim excitedly.

"Those are some good kicks. Somebody's strong." Sebastian says lovingly while kissing my belly repeatedly.

"I sense a soccer player." I say with a smile.

"A lifetime ago I used to play football, the British kind, not the American one." Sebastian says proudly.

"Well then that's where he must get it from." I reply before kissing him.
