Connie slammed the front door behind her, unable to drown out the sounds of the howling winds, "bloody hell it's freezing" she said, watching as Jacob took his coat off.

He turned and kissed her forehead gently, "you go upstairs and have a nice hot bath, I'll sort dinner, put the fire and the heating on" he told her, placing a hand on her growing bump.

Connie smiled gently, "thank you" she said, then kissed his cheek before walking upstairs.

After spending forty minutes in the bath, Connie came back downstairs in a pair of fluffy maternity pyjamas Jacob had bought her.

She stepped in to the living room, laughing gently as she saw the blanket fort Jacob had set up, "there's even some pizza waiting inside for you" he smirked at her.

"You're such a big kid Jacob, but I love you for it" she laughed, placing a kiss on to his lips before he took her hand and helped her into the fort.

Her pregnancy pillows lay out for her, an array of fluffy blankets and other cushions, fairy lights running around the top of the fort, Jacob's laptop sat in the corner with a few of this favourite movies, and of course the pizza.

"Wow, this is beautiful" Connie said as she sat down, positioning her pillows to allow her to sit up, followed by Jacob wrapping his arm around her and cuddling her into his side.

He placed the laptop on his knee, then the pizza on Connie's, "what film do you want to watch beautiful?" he asked.

"Hmm, it seems only right that we watch A Day After Tomorrow considering the weather" she replied, tucking in to the pizza, keeping one hand on her rounded stomach.

Jacob put the movie into the laptop and pressed play before allowing Connie to rest her head on his chest as they watched and ate.

He soon moved his hand down on to Connie's stomach and smiled gently, "someone's active in there tonight" he stated.

Connie smiled and nodded, "I think he's happy, his mummy certainly is. I love spending nights in with you like this" she told him.

Jacob kissed her softly, "ditto sweetcheeks, and I can't wait for our little man to join us" he replied.
