Thanks for reaching the goal so fast!

"Liam, what if they don't like me?" I asked, fixing the hem of my dress for the sixth time in the past minute.

He gave me a smile and pulled my hand to his face, pecking a light kiss on the skin. "As long as they know we're in love, they'll love you." He set my hand gently on my lap with a light smile. "You make me happy, and they know that, and they'll do whatever it takes to make you happy."

I smiled. "How any people are coming again?" I asked.

"Both sides of my family from all over. Pretty much every third cousin, funky uncle and weird great and that you can imagine." He looked away from the road and into my eye. "And every single one of them will love you."

A blush took over my cheeks. "You're getting my hopes up." I told him.

"It's going to be great. You and I are together, we're having a baby and I'm going to be able to introduce you to my family." He rubbed my stomach and I leaned back in the chair. "Just relax."

I sighed. "I've never met the family of one of my boyfriends before. The last one I had was one of those stupid ones that everyone has in the first grade." I adjusted the hem of my dress again. "I'm just really nervous and this a completely new experience for me."

"Hey, it's all good." He smiled. "No one on my family could ever hate someone as awesome as you." He pinched my cheek and I tried to keep my blush under control.

"I am awesome, aren't I?" I asked.

"Yes, the most awesomest person I have ever met in my entire life." He grinned. "No other person compares to the awesomeness you have. It's almost bursting off of you. You know, I think you're going to give birth to nothing but a complete ball of awesomeness." His voice was almost dripping with sarcasm.

I rolled my eyes and laughed, looking out the window. "You can stop now."

"Oh, I don't think I can. You know, when you were born, the whole word just stopped. You were the reason the world stopped spinning." I looked over at him and he looked me in the eye. "But you're also the reason mine keeps spinning, so, I think it balances out."

"Liam." I whispered.

He grinned. "Do you want me to stop?"

I felt tears coming to my eyes and I couldn't do much to stop as I was suddenly very sad. "You know what, you're so sweet." I blubbered. "You are the sweetest guy in the entire universe. I might be your reason, but you're mine. You're the reason the sun rises in the mourning, and the reason the moon comes up at night. It's just for you."

"Belle." He cooed. He looked back and fourth from the road and and my face. "Don't cry, come on."

"I'm pregnant, I can cry whenever the hell I want to." I sobbed and wiped a tear that came rolling down my cheek. "Everything would be better if my hormones weren't so horrible right now."

He pulled over to the side of the road and took my hands away from my face. "So, you're not really upset, you're just hormonal?" He asked.

I nodded. "It's just really hard. I haven't gotten any sort of bad hormone experience yet, and I don't know why I'm suddenly so upset." I told him. "I really wanted today to be a really good day."

He leaned over and lightly peppered a kiss on my cheek. "Today will be really good. You can just stop crying and meet my family. Everything will turn out fine."

"Don't you think I'd stop crying if I could." I cried.

He was trying to stifle a laugh, as he wasn't the one who had to be ruled by a chemical imbalance in her own body. He could laugh as much as he wanted, as he wasn't the one who felt like crying all the time. Liam wasn't exactly trying to make me much happier by laughing at me either.
