God I'm getting fat. For real, my back hurts, my feet and hands are swollen and so are my boobs..and they hurt... Felix wasn't kidding when he said that I was going to get really big really quick and that I was gonna hurt..He told me to pick a dress and to help him plan some things for the wedding, because apparently we have to be married before I'm "to big". What? Are you afraid that people are gonna think bad about you be cause you not only took my life and turned me into a damn vampire and that you knocked me up? Please, not of that should matter if you love me.
"Carla!!! Where did you put the fabric swatches?" Felix yells from his study.
Okay that is the gayest thing I have ever heard him say. "I don't remember. PREGNANCY BRAIN. I don't remember anything."
"Damn it. Okay." He calls. Wow...get mad at the pregnant lady why don't ya. It's not my fault that I can't remember anything, it's yours. You're the one who did this to me.
"Oh. I know exactly where I left them. In the freezer late last night because I was getting ice cream...that's where they are." I say to myself. I push myself up out of the seat on the couch and work my way downstairs. What is that smell? It smells so good... So much for I'm not gonna crave food..that's all I'm doing now.. I would kill for some steak and some mashed potatoes..mmmmm and some broccoli with cheese.. (See that's what I don't understand about the whole "vampires don't eat food they are bloodsuckers" thing.. Maybe it's where I wasn't vampire born or whatever but I like food if you can't tell.) I can smell literally everything, I wonder into the kitchen and there's our chief Peter. pulling a cake from the oven.. Felix doesn't really like him just for the simple fact that he feels that he is a threat, like I'm going to leave him and attempt to get with peter or something. "Hey, can I have a piece of that?" I ask poking at it.. "I don't care if it's hot."
"Not until it is cooled and frosted ma'am."
"But I want it now.. I don't want no frosting, I just want the came Peter, come on pleaseeeeeeeeee." I say begging him. "And what have I told you about the whole calling me ma'am thing, unless Felix is around then don't do it."
"Sorry Carla, I didn't know if he was in earshot or not. Don't want to get into any sort of trouble with the big man. Ya know what I mean?"
"I sure do, now how about that cake?"
"Not until it is cooled and frosted, and I don't want to ruin your dinner. You have to eat. I'm making your favorite.. Steak, mashed potatoes, and broccoli and cheese." I smile practically jumping for joy. Thank god! Something that sounds half way decent.
" Fine then." I huff walking over to the freezer and jerking it open and moving the ice cream tub that still has my spoon inside. "There they are! I knew I left them here!" I laugh. Up the stairs to Felix I go. "Here ya go. I found them in the freezer." He looks at me strange. "Listen I'm pregnant, I'm craving food. Which you said I wouldn't do, and I'm getting fat, I'm hormonal. And I just want my boobs to stop hurting!"
"I didn't say anything. I just looked up at you.." He says in a hushed voice. I lay the fabric swatches down.
"I like the darker purples, and I love the red.. I think we could do like red and white..maybe throw in some purples are greens.. But it's up to you.. I want lilies though..I'd love to have some in my bouquet..but if not it's okay.." I say walking away.. "Yell if you want something.."
"Carla I want you." He pauses "I want you to sit here and pick out whatever you want at this..this wedding is all about you.. Money is no problem..if you want lilies we will have lilies." He says grabbing my hands and pulling them to his lips.. I think this is the cutest thing ever.. It makes me feel special when he kisses my hands.
