Love, hate and everything in between

~Chapter 12~

"Baby." I ran over and pulled her into my arms. "It's okay. I promise I'll raise this baby-"

"I'm not pregnant." She said through heavy tears. I leaned back with a stunned expression and saw her smile. I picked her up and swung her around smiling like a fool. I held her with one hand and pulled her head to me with the other. I passionately and quickly crashed my lips into hers. I felt her clutch the collar of my shirt and a smile formed on her lips. She laughed and broke away from the kiss but wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me tightly. I squeezed her and spun around. We both fell on our backs on the bed laughing. I grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to me. I sat up on my side and leaned over to her kissing her again.

"How about Friday?" I asked out of breath.

"For what?" She asked smiling with her eyes closed.

"Us. Our romantic night."

"Oh. That!" She smiled and her cheeks flushed as she flipped to her stomach and buried her face. I laughed and turned her face over to me.

"My beautiful wife has got to be bad for me. One night." I kissed her nose gently.

"Only for you." She whispered smiling. "Are we holding off on the baby?"

"Unless you want one now."

"I think we should wait. We just got married."

"Agreed."

She slowly closed her eyes with a smile on her face. I rubbed her back until I knew she was asleep. I then carefully picked her up and placed her under the covers. I began to walk out of the room when she whispered my name.

"Hmm?" I asked walking back over to her.

"Will you stay? Please."

"I'll be right back. I promise."

I jogged down the stairs and went to the phone dialing a number. I was making her romantic night the most romantic night ever. Starting with reservations to the best restaurant I could get. After I made them I jogged back into the living room.

"I need you all to leave tomorrow night." I said resting my hand on the wall. Logan immediately burst out into laughter, followed by everyone else.

"Dear God, grow up!" I laughed rolling my eyes. "Isn't this married life now?"

"Get it." Logan joked.

"I'm done with all of you. Just leave by 8!" I jogged back up the stairs ignoring the childish remarks from downstairs. I went back into the bedroom. Brooke was turned on her side with the blankets hugging her body. I climbed into bed next to her and flipped off the lamp. I allowed my eyes to adjust to the dark before I moved myself closer to Brooke. I gently wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her into me. I turned to my side and lightly placed a few light kisses on her neck. I felt her flinch. I moved the hair away from her eyes and smiled once I saw her.

"Do you think we'll last forever?" She asked flipping over to her back.

"We'll last so much longer than forever." I replied pulling her onto my shoulder. I held onto her with both arms and felt her head fall to my shoulder. I kissed the top of her head and then let myself fall asleep with her beside me.

******************Morning******************

When I woke up Brooke wasn't beside me like she was. I sat up and stretched listening to the baby dinosaur like sounds that left my mouth. As I swung my legs over the side of the bed I suddenly got a whiff of an amazing smell. Breakfast. Brooke. Yes! I quickly changed into a pair of shorts and a tank top and ran down the stairs. It was surprisingly quiet everywhere but the kitchen. There was clinking and banging coming from there. I entered and saw Brooke hard at work being the cause of this wonderful smell. She was humming and moving around quickly. I quietly walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist which caused her to jump.
