Somewhere In Neverland

Guiding Light. [Part Two]

"Be careful with that!"

"Put that over here!"

"Tony, I SWEAR TO GOD!"

I sighed, rubbing my temples and walking outside. We were trying to move everything into the new house but no one was listening to directions and everyone was arguing. I ran my fingers through my hair and closed my eyes, letting the sun warm my face.

"Alright everybody, take ten." Jaime came outside and wrapped his arms around me, squeezing me tightly.

"Forever is a long time, but I wouldn't mind spending it by your side." He sang softly in my ear. I smiled, appreciating the fact that he always knew what to say. I turned in his arms and kissed him.

"This'll all be done soon, sweet pea. Just keep calm until then. After we're done, we can just relax in bed with a bunch of blankets and food and romance movies, if you want." I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Hurry up." I mumbled, about ready to just kick everyone out and say we'll finish it tomorrow.

"We'll be done before you know it." He kissed my forehead and let me go, heading back into the house.

"Alright, let's get back to work! We're almost done guys." Everyone went back to work. I followed them back inside and headed to the master bedroom. Mom and Rose were working in the kitchen, putting dishes and groceries away. Tony, Mike, Vic, and Jaime were moving furniture in. Jack was in the master bedroom, putting together our bed. Since I had nothing else to do, I was going to help him.

"Need a hand?" I asked, leaning against the door frame. Jack looked over his shoulder at me, smiling.

"Sure. Just hold these two pieces while I screw them together." I did as told and we worked in silence for a little while. When we were done, he lifted the mattress onto the bed frame and we put the sheets on. Afterwards, we sat on the bed, lost in our thoughts.

"I feel like I wanna cry." Jack said, sighing.

"What?! Why?" I leaned over and hugged him. He took a shaky breath, making me wonder if he really was going to cry.

"Everything is moving too fast. Seems like just last week I was teaching you how to ride a bike, and now you're engaged with a home of your own and a baby on the way." It was my turn to sigh.

"I know... this year has flown by. But everything's going to start slowing down now. It's gonna be okay." He pulled back and smiled, shaking his head.

"You've got it all figured out." I laughed.

"Hardly."

"We're done bringing everything in. It's time to go, Jack." Aunt Rose's voice made us jump. She smiled, her eyes shining with love. Jack stood up and hugged me, kissing my hair.

"I'm so proud of you, darling. I love you." He whispered, hugging me again.

"I love you too." I whispered back, tears threatening to fall. He left with Rose and I took a second to compose myself before going to the living room to say goodbye to everyone.

"Finally, some peace and quiet!" Jaime exclaimed, wrapping me in his arms. I sighed, smiling.

"I've been waiting so long for this." He whispered, kissing me softly. I wrapped my arms around his neck, running my fingers through his hair. It felt so good to have nothing to worry about - to be able to get lost in this moment and not worry about interruptions or other problems. His hands rubbed my back before trailing down and carressing my stomach.

"We have another doctor's appointment soon. I kinda want to know the sex." He mumbled, staring at my stomach. I smiled.

"Okay. What are our name choices?" Jaime pursed his lips, thinking. We held hands and walked into the bedroom, talking about it. I sat on our bed while he hooked up our TV and DVD player, throwing out some suggestions.

"So, Miles Christopher Vincent Preciado?" Jaime said, sitting down on the bed next to me. I smiled, nodding.

"That sounds perfect. But what about Tone? We used Vic and Mike's middle names, but Tony doesn't have a middle name." We both thought, wanting to make sure that no one was hurt or left out.

"Can we make him the godfather?" Jaime asked, making me grin. Tony was sure to make plenty of jokes about it and I knew that the other guys wouldn't be offended.

"Yes. Okay, now that we've got that sorted out, let's start these movies." We piled all of the pillows and blankets that we owned onto our bed and then made popcorn and dug out the movies.

"So here's the lineup: Ps, I love you, Dirty Dancing, and The Time Traveller's Wife. Sound good?" I nodded, following my fiance into our bedroom and climbing onto our bed with the huge bowl of popcorn. It was storming outside, so we turned out the lights and cuddled under the covers. The popcorn bowl was lying on top of his stomach and my head was resting on the pillow next to his. I nuzzled his neck and watched the movies, happy that I can say that I have a love as amazing as that.

By the third movie, we were no longer using the blankets. They were piled around us and the popcorn bowl was on the floor. My shirt was up, revealing my stomach. Jaime traced patterns on it with his fingertips as we stared at the screen. Occasionally, I would turn my head and kiss his cheek, especially during the cute parts of the movie.

When the movie ended, we just turned the tv off and cuddled. I moved closer to him and he wrapped a blanket around us, rolling onto his side and burying his face in my neck.

"Nap time?" He murmured, his breathing slow. I closed my eyes, mumbling something close to 'yes', and slowly drifting off to sleep. As he fell asleep, his grip around me loosened and he started snoring softly. This pulled me out of my slumber and I stayed awake, watching him sleep. Sometimes he would say my name, which made my heart melt.

"I love you, Jaime." I whispered, stroking his hair. Eventually I did fall asleep, singing to him.

"But the night is still, and I have not yet lost my will, Oh and I will keep moving till, Till I find my way home. When I need to get home, You are my guiding light. You are my guiding light."
