Loving Tyler Dasen (Sequel to LWTP)

Chapter 20- I've never been this happy

**Maya**

I've got less than a month to go until I have the babies. I've moved into Cameron's parent's guest house which is bigger than my own parent's entire land that they own and live on. Cameron and I made a small nursery for the babies, two small cots and so many toys and baby clothes, ready for them. I can barely move anymore, I feel like I'm constantly full and my back hurts from the built up pressure on my lower back. I feel the babies kicking constantly, especially when Cameron is talking and laughing.

I stand, leaning against the bench top while Cameron swirls around the carbonara sauce in the saucepan. Tonight, he wanted to show me that he can cook a good meal and that he won't poison me. Weirdly enough, I find myself constantly kissing and cuddling him. Despite all our differences, I find myself loving him. And I feel him loving me.

"Babe, I promise you it's safe to eat. You gotta trust me!" Cameron says laughing as I taste-test his sauce, delicious and creamy just the way it should be. 

"Okay fine! I'm eating for three so make sure you put in all those four packets of pasta." I say and gently touch my stomach as I feel one of the babies begin to kick my left side.

Cameron gently places his hand over where I put mine, feeling the gentle motion of the kicking baby beneath my fingers. "I can't wait for you two to come out into the world. Dad is waiting for you." Cameron gently whispers.

"How is Alaska doing?" Cameron asks me a minute later.

"She's doing good. She is just worked up over it all and scared. I would be too. I wouldn't go out for months until I have two tasers on me and pepper spray." I say, sitting down at the dinner table, which costs more than my entire life savings. Cameron's parents furnished this small house with the most expensive furniture I've ever seen, and it still doesn't compare to the furniture in their own house. His parents pretty much signed the house over to us, as it is on it's own small part of land which is right next to the main house. Overall, there is almost 2 acres of land here that his parents own, and we have our own yard and pool, along with a tennis court that I'll be using when I'm no longer pregnant. 

Soon enough we begin eating and I clear off almost three bowls of carbonara. I'm either craving pasta or pizza these days. Something filling and full of cheese.

"So, I was thinking about names." I bring up as Cameron finishes his last bit of his pasta.

"Oh really, what did you think of?" He asks, his eyes draw to me and he completely focuses on me.

"Well for a girl I was thinking, Abigail, Amelia, Melissa, Athena." I say, "And for a boy, Jonah, Tyson,  Archie."

"I think we should take our time and decide when the time is right. Don't rush it, we still have a month. Well, a little less. But we have time." Cameron assures and grabs ahold of my left hand, brushing his thumb lightly over the back of my hand. 

"I know but I'm just scared that I won't find the right names. I've never realised how hard it is to decide." I complain, realising the struggle that so many people go with. 

"Don't stress about it. I promise you, we will find the perfect names." Cameron assures me with a warming smile, and plants a kiss on my forehead before he grabs our plates to begin clearing out the kitchen. 

I lay awake and it's nearly one a.m. The struggles of trying to get to sleep is real, I can never find the perfect position as I can't even sleep on my stomach anymore. 

"Hey, you okay?" I hear Cameron whisper as he turns over and faces me. I didn't realise he was awake, he was just so still and quiet I figured he fell asleep ages ago.

"I just can't sleep." I mumble, slightly pissed off at my body keeping me up so late but making me feel so tired at the same time.

Cameron sits up slightly and he places his hand on my stomach. "I never thought this would've happened to me at such a young age. Heck, when we first met I never would've thought we would end up here. It's only been what, eight or so months since we met and back then I never would've wanted this to happen. But to be honest, all this has made me so happy, the happiest I've ever been. Everything happens for a reason, and I believe this is the biggest blessing in our lives. I really do love you Maya and I always have." Cameron says and as soon as he finishes speaking I burst into tears. I feel so emotional all at once I can't even talk, he just hugs me and cries with me.

"I've never been this happy before Maya." Cameron whispers before he kisses me swiftly on the lips.
