The sound of keys connecting with the marble counter in the kitchen lingered in the air as Ashton took his coat off, hanging it on the rack beside the front door, his eyebrows furrowing as the sound of TV going on in the living room was there but when he had yelled out a hello as he came in through the door, no respond had been there.
"Anna?" He asked in confuse, placing some of the drum notes and lyrics papers next to his keys so he could approach the living room, walking inside to see nobody. He took a look back towards the stairs in a hope of seeing light, but as everything was dark, concluding that the lights weren’t on, he couldn’t really make out where else you would be. Ashton was about to take his phone out, calling your number but was stopped as the sound of deep breaths came from upon the couch, making Ashton’s eyebrows raise, but failed down again and a smile landed on his lips as he realized what it was. Approaching the couch, he saw your sleeping body sprawled over the cushions; he took the remote placed beside you before dimming the volume on the TV, lifting your legs and taking a seat next to you.
His hand rested on your calves as he took a look what was on the TV, Friends covering the screen making a small chuckle leaving from his lips. Since the pregnancy, you had been fighting a hard time on keeping yourself awake until Ashton came home late from the studio, it wasn’t even past 10 and you were already out as a light. He gave you a few glares every now and them as he looked between the TV and his phone, the protective side of him showing off even though it was only the two of you in the house, to say at least – Ashton had become 10 times more protective since the announcement of your unborn child.
You started to stir in your sleep, making Ashton look back down at you, his eyebrows furrowing as he noticed how your stomach was bloating out from the skin showing below the t shirt you were wearing. He moved your shirt up towards your boobs, showing off more skin on your stomach. His index finger ran over the small bulge above your abdomen, his lips parting slightly as he did in thought, his eyes going wide. Reaching out in front of him he grabbed the pregnancy book the two of you had rented from the library, opening it before finding the page he had just read last night, his eyes skimming the words.
"It’s the baby bump." He whispered to himself before almost shaking you harshly to wake up,
"Anna, wake up I gotta show you something." Your eyes started to blink by the sudden rush,
"What’s going on?" You questioned as he let go of your shoulders.
"Look! The baby bump!" He almost yelled in joy, making you lift yourself on your elbows so you could look down, your eyes widening as well as you noticed the small bloated part of your stomach,
"How haven’t I noticed that yet?!" "How come I not notice it!" Ashton said in disbelief, his fingers brushing over it again.
"I guess it has appeared the last couple of days." You mumbled, forming a small smile as Ashton started to nudge his nose with your stomach.
"This is so crazy, amazing." He smiled, giving you a warm smile before he started to plant kisses around your stomach making a chuckle leave your lips as you watched him in awe.
