The door slams from downstairs as I lay shirtless in bed, the slight breeze from the open balcony door sending chills against my skin while I play with the wrap around my chest. My head tilts to the left right when Cam walks into the room, vigorously rubbing her swollen belly in attempts to sooth the small feet kicking her.


"I can't wait t'il this cute little fucker gets out of me." She grunts, dropping the dozens of shopping bags on the floor. A small chuckle escapes my lip, reaching out my hand as she reaches out her own. Our fingers lace and she moves closer to the bed while shrugging off her jacket, leaning down and gives me a kiss on the forehead.


"'M gonna put on some better clothes." She smiles lightly, pulling away and stripping down into nothing but the cute little black knickers I bought her. I grin while turning my body completely to face her, her belly protruding and face tired. Cam turns to the full-length mirror, running delicate fingers over the small stretch marks on her stomach. I notice the slight frown on her face as she traces the lightning looking marks.


"Hey." I mumble, getting up slowly and walking over to her. "Turn that frown upside-down." I smile, a small, playful scoff escaping her lips.


"You're a fucking dork." She laughs, turning around while wrapping her arms around my neck.


"But I'm your dork." I grin, her eyes rolling before pressing a chaste kiss to my lips. I turn her body back around, watching my hands runs up her stomach. The outline of a small foot presses against her skin, my eyes lighting up as she watches my face intently.


"I love you." She whispers, her small hands resting over mine before locking our fingers. Our eyes meet, my breath hitching as the light gleams perfectly against her face, her skin shining ever so slightly and I fall in love all over again.


"I love you too." I whisper, my eyes watering as I bite back tears.


Her eyebrows furrow with concern and she turns to face me quickly. She cups my cheeks, the tears rolling down as I release a choked sob. My arms wrap tightly around her waist, my head nuzzled into the crook of her neck while I cried. Her hands help on tightly to my shirt as I felt the curves of her body, warm feeling spreading through me.


"I-I'm so in love with you, you've saved me from so much and I owe you the world. I want to give you the world, but I fucking can't and it hurts." I cry, pulling her closer. She sighs loudly in my ear while pulling away, wiping the stray tears from my face before speaking.


"You've given me more than the world. You've given me a whole new life, I couldn't be happier. Are you happy?" She asks softly, my eyes blinking away tears as I nod quickly.


"Very happy." I mumble, kissing her temple.


"Well, then there's no time to regret, we've got thing we need to sort out and prepare for the baby." She says softly, I nod in response. She smiles and pulls away from me, throwing on a long shirt before laying in bed. "Now, I'm tired as hell and my back is sore, come sleep with me." She smiles, grabbing my hand and pulling me into bed.


With my forearm under her pillow and our heads leaned against each other, we fall asleep to the sound of our heartbeats.
