the one

Beautiful

Ricky's p.o.v.

It was almost midnight and people were starting to leave. The only people that stayed were the dancers, Alexa, my parents, and her parents. I just finished throwing everything away in the kitchen and putting away any dishes that were just cleaned. I walk into the living room taking a seat next to Ariana on the couch.

Brian- is it alright if we stay here tonight?

Ariana- yeah, that's fine

Ricky- you have to make breakfast

Brian- deal. We are going to go ahead and get everything ready downstairs

They all filed out of the room. Alexa stood up and gave Ariana a kiss on the cheek.

Alexa- I'm going to bed

Ariana- which room are you taking?

Alexa- the same one I always do. The second on the right

Ricky- goodnight

Alexa- night

Ricky- are you tired?

Ariana- no

I could tell that she was lying because she looked and sounded tired. I gave her a second look and she looked at me and smiled. I fall more in love with her every time I see it. We hadn't been romantic at all since she had gotten pregnant. I can tell she doesn't ever want me to see her naked because she thinks I will think badly about her. There is nothing that would make her not look beautiful. I looked back across the room at my parents sitting there watching us.

Mom- I think we better go now

Ariana- no. You guys are staying here until you go back

Mom- I don't want to intrude by staying

Ariana- you're not. I want you to stay

Mom- are you sure?

Ariana- yes I'm sure. You can take the first room on the right. Do you need something to wear?

Mom- no, we left a bag in the car. We can get something out of it

They got up and my dad went out to the car while my mom went upstairs. I looked back over to Ariana and she was struggling to keep her eyes open.

Ricky- we will go up to bed as soon as my dad gets back in

Ariana- I'm not tired

Ricky- you don't have to lie

My dad walked in with the bag and headed upstairs

Dad- goodnight you two

Ariana- goodnight

She tried to get herself up off the couch but she fell back down. I get up and help her.

Ariana- I can do it myself

Ricky- Ari you are my wife. I want to help you

Ariana- well even if you want to help me, I don't need it.

She walked away from me and started walking upstairs. She got to the room and started to slam the door but I stopped it with my hand. I walked in and she was shuffling through the drawers. I went and took a seat on the bed and sighed.

Ricky- what is wrong with you? All I tried to do was help. You let me help you before you got pregnant.

Ariana- nothing Ricky. I'm fine. I just want to start doing things myself.

Ricky- okay and that's fine. You have done a lot of things by yourself but when I notice that you are tired and need help off the couch I'm not just going to watch you struggle, I'm going to help.
