UNEXPECTED ✰ COLIFER

Chapter 2 ✰ Like Father, Like Daughter

Jen's pov

The next morning I woke up by the sunlight that lit up our bedroom. I felt beside me but to my disappointment Colin was already out of bed. I could really enjoy being in bed with him on free days, but since the birth of Ivy such moments were increasingly rare.

I threw my legs over the edge of the bed and stretched out before putting on my bathrobe. I walked past Ivy's bedroom and expected Colin to be in there, but the room was empty. On the stairs I heard the sound of a guitar and an enthusiastic Ivy. She was the happiest and most cheerful child I had ever seen and it was not hard to guess from whom she had inherited it. She was obviously the small version of Colin and I enjoyed it immensely, although Colin had changed a lot since the arrival of Ivy. He was still that incredibly sweet man, but he seemed to be more mature. Seemed, because it could still be a big child.

With a big smile I watched the scene in the living room. Colin sat with Ivy on his lap and a guitar in his arms. Ivy could enjoy music as much as he did and he liked to use it in his advantage. For her third birthday, he had even bought a mini-guitar for her so they could play together. Ivy loved it.

'Again!' she said when Colin played the last notes.

He looked at his fingers with a painful look. 'Another time, honey. Shall we make breakfast for mommy?'

Ivy nodded enthusiastically. 'And for my little brother!'

'And for your little brother' Colin said, laughing, as he put Ivy on the floor. He looked up and his gaze caught mine.

'Hey, love. I didn't hear you' he said, pressing a kiss on my cheek. 'We were about to make breakfast for you'

I wrapped my arms around his neck. 'You're a sweetheart'

He put his hand on the back of my head and curled his fingers through my hair. I buried my face in his neck. 'Are you feeling alright?' he asked worriedly

'Yes' I lied

'Jen...'

I sighed deeply. He knew me like no other.

He grabbed my face in his hands and stared at me. 'Tell me the truth'

I lowered my eyes and tried to control my tears. His thumb slid softly over my cheek as he pressed a kiss on my forehead. 'It's too much for you, isn't it?'

I nodded as the tears ran down my cheeks. My first pregnancy hadn't been an easy one and I had been in constant fear. I loved Ivy so much, but the pregnancy was the worst period in my life. It had put a lot of pressure on my relationship with Colin. We got to know each other better during that period and he was really the most patient and sweet man a woman could wish for. This pregnancy went without any problems so far, but every day I was afraid that it would go wrong. The hormones were demolishing me from the inside.

'It will be fine, love, just like Ivy.'

I put my hand on my belly. Every day I felt guilty that I couldn't just enjoy all of this. He covered my hand with his.

'Let's do something together today'

'You know that is not possible, Colin'

He smirked. 'I've arranged a babysitter for Ivy. Sean will arrive in an hour and then we can do whatever you want'

My jaw dropped slightly. 'Did you really do that?' The last time we had done something with the two of us was when Ivy was a baby.

He nodded. 'So tell me. What do you want to do?'

I pulled him into the corridor and pushed him against the wall. 'I want to lie down in bed with you all day'

He raised his eyebrow. 'Naked?'

'Naked' I confirmed

'Mrs. O'Donoghue, you are very naughty' he whispered in my ear

We had been married for a few years now, but I still got goose bumps when he called me that. Sometimes I didn't realize that I was his wife.

'You taught me'

'Dad, are we going to make breakfast?' Ivy called from the living room

A smile appeared on his face. It was endearing to see how much he loved that little girl. 'I'm coming, honey!'

I pressed my lips on his. His lips were as soft and familiar as during our first kiss. That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person. You realize that this person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life. Colin still has that effect on me. Although we kissed for over a hundred times he still turned my world upside down when his lips touches mine.

I seperated our lips and gave him a naughty look

'What?'

'Will you come for me too?'

He laid his hand on my belly with a laugh. 'I think this is enough evidence for that'

'Daddy!'

'Yes darling. I'm on my way!'

He gently caressed my face. 'You'll have to wait a bit longer'

I pouted my lip. 'What if I can't wait any longer?'

He brought his face closer to mine. 'It will be worth the wait'. He pressed a kiss on my cheek and walked to Ivy in the kitchen.

I stood in the doorway and looked at the two loves of my life and the only thing I could do was smile. They were my hapiness and I've never been so scared of losing something in my entire life. Nothing in my life has ever meant as much as they do.
