Pregnancy is such a beautiful part of life. It's pretty amazing if you think about. The female body houses, literally grows, a little human being within it. There's nothing better than that.
It is also exhausting, especially with a toddler running around. Already in my last trimester, as much as I loved having the beautiful blessing in my belly, I was ready to get our princess out. I struggled as I tried to put my shoes on, groaning in frustration. A chuckle from the door broke my train of thoughts. Glaring at the man in front of me, I took the nearest throw pillow in my hand and effectively, threw it at Lucas with all the strength I could muster.
He laughed.
"Can you even see your feet?" He asked, kneeling in front of me and putting the shoes on my feet. I leaned back on the sofa, tired just because of the effort.
"No. But that's none of your business."
"Jesus... I'm not sure how Alex puts up with you. You get all moody and I would even say even a little bit-"
"Don't say it," I warned him. "Besides, bitchy is Addie's job," I said, raising an eyebrow.
A slow grin formed on Luke's face. "I like pregnant bitchy you," he said proudly.
"You won't like it if I'm still this way when the baby is born," I replied, taking his hand while he helped me stand up. As soon as I was on my feet, he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I sighed, returning the hug. My best friend and brother; that's what Luke was.
So many things had happened, horrible, cruel things and Luke's comfort and support had been unconditional. I loved him and I knew he loved me too. There was still so much I needed to learn about him, things that he wouldn't let other people in on, but I trusted that soon he would. Soon I would be able to see that weight lifted off his shoulders and we'd be able to help him as much as he helped Alex and I.
"You okay, Leenie? You seem thoughtful."
"I was just thinking how lucky we are to have you," I said, looking at him straight in the eye.
His playful blue eyes softened and he gave my arm a gentle squeeze in reply.
"Let's go get Angel ready for wherever we're going," I said.
