Chapter Ten

Nov 22nd, 2012

I look myself over in the mirror and bite my lip gently. I put my hands on my still flat stomach and take a deep breath. I push my stomach out and step to the side. I scrunch up my nose and shake my head then hear Mike's laughter. I look over my shoulder and see him looking at me with a raised eyebrow. "You trying to get a glimpse at the near future?" he asks and I sigh then nod my head. He smiles at me then slowly walks over to me.

He turns me around to face the mirror as he slides an arm around my waist then places his palm against my stomach. He smiles slightly and presses a kiss to my jaw then takes in a deep breath. "If you want to see the future see this. You're almost ready to have our little thing. Your stomach is large and I'm standing here with you." he says and I smile then shake my head.

"I don't want to think about being huge," I say and he rolls his eye then pulls my back closer to him.

"Fine then don't. Imagine us standing here with a daughter or a son in your arms getting ready for the day. Together and smiling as our little thing looks around with big brown eyes." he whispers and I take a deep breath and imagine it. Mike's grip gets tighter on me and smiles at him. He smiles back then presses a long kiss to my cheek and we take a deep breath. "Are you ready for today?" he asks and I smile and nod my head.

"Yeah. I'm always ready to eat a lot of food." I say and he laughs then nods his head.

"Well then happy Thanksgiving my love," he says and I roll my eyes then turn around and press a kiss to his lips. He kisses me back and grips onto my hips. I smile into the kiss and wrap my arms around his neck. Mike squeezes my hips then me we pull apart and sigh. "So how many more weeks till we can tell our families about little thing?" he asks and I start to count in my head.

"Well I'm almost eight weeks so that means four more weeks but I kinda want to wait six weeks to really make sure," I say and he nods his head then leans down and kisses me again. I kiss him back then pull away and start to walk to the bathroom. Mike sighs and I smirk but don't let him see that I did that on purpose. Quickly I look in the mirror and look myself over. "Mike, do I look okay? This is the first Thanksgiving I'm spending with your family." I say and he walks into the bathroom and just looks at me.

Slowly a smile full of emotion goes over his face and he looks at me and nods his head. "You look amazing but I'm biased. I look at you and I see my life and future and my love so it's hard not to look at you and think that you're the most beautiful thing in my world," he says and my cheek goes bright red then I look away from him and back to myself in the mirror. Mike lets out a small chuckle then walks over to me. "It's time to go, love," he says and I nod my head then we head down the stairs.

Quickly I grab my jacket then head out of the house. We head over to my car and hop in. "It shouldn't be cold in San Diego," I grumble and Mike laughs then looks at me with a raised eyebrow.

"It's not cold Tony," he says and I glare at him then he shakes his head. I sigh and run my hands through my hair and sigh. Mike reaches over and grabs my thigh then takes his head and starts to drive to his parents. I sway to the music lightly and watch the road, houses, and land go through the windows. I smile slightly then look over Mike and see he is bobbing his head to the music and driving with a straight face.

An hour later we pull into Mama and Papa's house so I get out of the car and look to Mike. He pulls out two things of champagne then laughs and we head into the house. As soon as I step onto the porch the front door flies open and Mama comes running out with a huge smile on her face. "Mijos!" she yells making Mike and I laugh as she pulls us both into a hug. Both Mike and I hug her back then quickly she ushers us into the house.
