20.

The balmy days passed in bundles, my mind in a whirl trying to keep up with the schedule of preparing for the baby's arrival and trying to cope with the lengths of excruciating back pains and much more. The whole ordeal was quite tiresome at times, I could even see Liam becoming flustered with me when I was at a moody estate or reaching the brink of another fever.

I felt like such a bother but at the same time needy for attention. Everyone was so focused on my belly, and that was great, i love seeing the excitement that was caused over our little one but after a while of the same thing you begin to feel like you don't exist. Everyone reaches for the belly instead of your hand. Even Liam and I have been slightly distant for the past few days. I didn't want to feel like a burden on him. The boy has been watching over me day, night and every second in between. He deserved just as much downtime as I did. Too bad I wouldn't receive it for another three months, and when our little one would be born into the world it would be a new beginning that would last for the rest of our lives.

Would their ever be anymore downtime?

The thoughts rail my mind but I slowly brush them away my eyes glaze over the scenario in front of me. The warmth of the day brushes against my skin acting as a blanket, not a cloud in the sky clogging the sun from it's vibrant glow.

The grass has finally restored it's rich green color and the sprouting of small plants and flower are flourishing once more. The day was so beautiful. Too beautiful to sit on a straw bench just hoping to do something.

As my eyes continue glossing over the rejuvenating scene I spy Liam slowly peaking through the screen door. For a moment my mind contemplates inviting him the warm smile I present and soft hand gesture I give him is enough to shut the insecurities I have about my fiance out and finally let him in. I crave his warm smile, and bubbly laugh around me again. I've shut him out for such a little time but it feels like eternity. I just want him in my presence because everything felt better around him and i was in no way planning to alter that from this point on. 

"Hey there love," his soft voice greets and I raise myself up carefully but don't hold back when I wrap my arms around his torso and rest my head against his cotton shirt. Liam doesn't hesitate to hug back but it does take him a moment to react to my sudden gesture.

"Whoa, Whoa, Mia. What's gotten into you?" He laughs running his fingers down  my hair.

"I just love you." I mumble into his light jean button up shirt.

"Well, I love you too." 

He pulls away slowly to meet my eyes. I look so desperate right now. I laugh at myself as I lean in to slip my lips in between his. His pouty lips will never not be enough for me. Each kiss brought something new to the table, the butterflies in my stomach active every time we touched and ecstasy laced into our tangled lips.

"I'm sorry for avoiding you.." I barely mumble as gain ownership of our lips once more.

"I know you need your time to sort yourself out Mia, especially since your going through a lot with your pregnancy that I can't help you with." He consoles, running the pad of his thumb over my cheek.

"We should do something today, just the two of us. We need a getaway." I smile up at him and he agrees pecking me on the lips before leading me back to the house.

"Liam! Stop it!" I scold him but the giggles leaving my mouth contribute to the fact that the splashing on the fresh stream water wasn't all that bad.

"A little water won't do you any harm babe," He chuckles walking deeper into the slow paced stream.   Truly I wouldn't mind a dip in the stream as It only reached up to Liam's waist if he stood in the middle, but the pebbles resting at the bottom were not a good support for the swollen state of my feet. Of course Liam understood this which is why he packed a blanket and almost every pillow he could find so I could lay against. Liam was literally taking care of everything, which is why I forced him to let both of us work on the cold-cut sandwiches and pack other things to nibble on such as watermelon slices and ice tea.

"Your son and I are going to eat all of the sandwiches" I grin at Liam and he chuckles swirling his hands in the water before stepping out, His bare feet squeaking against the streaks of green grass.

Before he reaches for paper towels to dry his hands, He makes sure to rubs his wet hands down my face.

"You're a loser" I roll my eyes at him as I swipe my cheek before taking a bite out of my sandwich.

"You're engaged to a loser then" he shoots taking a bite out of my sandwich.

"Liam!" I scold I only get a muffled chuckle in return.

"What's this?" He asks with his mouth still full. His fingers tug at the rosy colored notebook I had tucked under one of the pillows filled with names I was considering of naming our little one.

He read each name aloud, repeating a few to get a feel of them on the flow. I chewed my food patiently and quietly, waiting for him to com across the one I knew would call his attention. I watched his facial expression as he came across the one. His lips curled upward instantly and a glimmer cotroled his eyes.

"James Payne," 

"I sort of like it," I give him a small smile when he lifts his head up. Liam doesn't say anthing yet, and continues looking at the name. 

"Pretty predictable of me to have it as an option...but it's adorable that." I rub his chastely rub his leg as he lets the name slip from his lips countless times before finally speaking.

"I love it," Liam's smile is blinding as he announces.

"You love it?"

"I love it," He confirms.

"James Payne it is" I settle and he nods softly planting silly kisses all over my face.
