Chapter 23 - Bonding.

"May I take your order?" A girl about a few years younger than me asked.

After the usuy bickering between us, I persuaded him to buy me food. Then there was another argument about where we'd go to eat.

He wanted to go to a fancy sea view restaurant while I wanted to keep it simple.

In the end we settle for a very nice Italian restaurant that wasn't to expensive or too shabby but classy.

I grinned up at her excited before giving my order. Ross besides me rolled his eyes at my childish behaviour before giving his order.

I wasted no time attacking some bread sticks. Ross texting away on his phone as I felt my stomach being a punching bag or a soccer goal.

Damn boys.

"Would you put that phone down, you've barely spoken a word to for days. And we need ti communicate. We never communicate can't we just put aside our attitudes for one night just to enjoy each other's company?" I asked.

Ross stared at me.

"Please." I pouted "I promise to not annoy you. I just- I want us to talk."

Sighing he slipped his phone on the table as I did a little cheer.

"What'd you wanna talk about." He asked looking at me. Arms crossed over his chest making his muscles bulge through the fitted jacket.

My stomach did little at the realisation that I had Ross' full attention.

"I don't know....Um how was your day?"I asked as I fought a blush attempting to rise.

"Tiring."

When I realized that's all he was going to say I sighed "that's.....nice."

"Nice?" He arched a brow.

"Uh, sorry I meant...that's work. Are you going ask me about my day." I smiled.

He rolled his eyes looking away for a brief second "How was you day Laura?" He asked. His head tilted to the side.

I grinned at his cooperation "My day was hectic. I had to finish a story. And help this newbie with hers, the the printers stopped working and the boys were giving me hell today. They were kicking and Cindy swore she saw ones face in pressing against my tummy. Then I forgot and took a sip if coffee and I had a meltdown. I wanted to call you but I figured you'd be busy, plus we weren't speaking. Then A/C went out and I was sweating profusely and-I stopped talking when I realised Ross was just staring at me.

"I've went all sugar mode have I?" I cringed.

"Sugar what?"

"Sugar mode, it's what my mom calls when I was younger I used to each a bunch of candies and I'd talk non stop." I chuckled lightly.

"Well in that case. Yeah, you did." He gave a small smile. "God, I hope our kids don't take your talking abilities. And the fact that you have ability to be extremely annoying is worst." He said.

My mouth hung open " yeah, well I'm praying they don't inherited your asshole behaviour?"

"Asshole behaviour?" He chuckled.

"Yeah, you have a really bad habit of excelling in assholesium."

Ross burst out laughing. The corners of his eyes wrinkling as his eyes close a bit as he laughs.

My heart warms at the sound and I felt the familiar tug
In my tummy.

When he calmed down and saw the smile on my face he asked "what?"

"Our sons love your voice." I said softly.

His eyes shifted to my stomach his eyes twinkled with pride.

Before either of us could say anything our dinners arrived and I wasted no time devouring my food.

The rest of the dinner was surprisingly relaxing and when we got home we were still laughing with each other.

This was by far my favorite ross. Yes he was stilled closed up which made me stir away from his or my personal life and we just talked about random things.

After my bath we both came back down stairs to watch a movie.

Half through I shouted "you have got to be kidding me! Can't mama watch a movie in piece?" I shouted to my twins.

As if to answer no they began kicking up a storm making a groan from my lips as I rolled my head back on the couch.

"You okay?" Ross asked moving from the carpeted floor to take a seat next to me on the couch.

"Your sons need a whooping." I groaned and rolled my head making it accidentally fall on Ross' chest. Inhaling deeply I sat up quickly.

Ross placed a hand on the couch behind my head before slowly moving his hands forward.

His eyes connected with mine as if asking for permission.

When my eyes glued to his he slowly rest his hands on my tummy. His hand large and warm began making small circles.

"Uh hey guys." Ross said awkwardly. A sharp kick following after making him chuckle.

"Um I know you guys wanna come out. But you only have two more months left, stop giving your mom a hard time. She just wants to enjoy her movie but she can't do that with you guys playing FIFA in there." He said making us both chuckle lightly.

The movie forgotten as we were both into him communicating with our sons.

Another thud was sent to my left, directly under where ross finger was now making patterns on my tummy.

It was weird seeing him like this. I was accustomed to the cold rarely speaking Ross and seeing him like this made another unknown emotion spiral through me.

I hadn't even realized he lifted the hem of top up till I felt his fingers on me again

When I looked up, I found him staring into my eyes. I felt my heart rate increase as we both kept staring at each other.

"I love you." He whispered.

My eyes widened I shock. He loved me?

Before I could reply his went went down and slowly he placed two tender kisses on the flesh of my tummy. My heart rate increasing and butterflies erupting in my tummy.

"Sweet Dreams." He whispered, his head an my tummy same height. He placed a final kiss before pulling my T shirt down and sitting back up.

His eyes still glues on my a small mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Better?"

He meant He loved his sons.

Damn Laura, he got you.

"B-better." I stuttered eyes hypnotised by his.

Damn.
