I smiled, admiring the view of a shirtless Ethan, a paint brush in hand. He was painting the walls for our baby boy and baby girl's room, and it was coming along perfectly.
" you just can't stop staring at me, can you? " the playful voice perked up from the top of the ladder, a smirk growing on my lips as I nodded my head without hesitation.
" you're pretty fit, that's all "
Ethan turned back to me with a cheeky grin, climbing down from the ladder and pulling me towards him in an instant. I thought he was going to say something romantic or sweet, but instead he shook his head with a little giggle, something which sounded so adorable.
" you are so, so british " was what he told me, my eyes rolling as I laughed at the boy.
" born and raised " I told him with a grin, his tongue swiping across his bottom lip as he stared down at me, eyes filled with lust.
It felt silent, only the sound of the faint music playing from outside the room to hear.
" I can't wait to be a dad " Ethan spoke up, his voice low and serious, and his words said barely above a whisper.
His eyes never left mine as he spoke, a grin growing as I lifted my hand up to his cheek, caressing it gently. I was so in love with him, and I just couldn't express it enough.
" nobody's going to touch you, or our little babies. I won't let it happen, ever " He told me once again, his hands on my waist as he leant his forehead against my own.
" we're our own little family, hol.... it'll be the four of us "

I raised an eyebrow as Ethan jumped up from the floor, a proud grin on his face as he stared at what he'd built.
" sorry to burst your bubble, but isn't a crib meant to stand? " I smirked, watching as the pieces of wood fell to the floor, Ethan going with it in annoyance.
" I'll try again, I think I know how to do it now... " He told me, repeating what he'd said hours ago when he failed it for the fourth time.
I smiled, noticing just how much he wanted to finish this crib. It was obvious how stressed my boyfriend was, and just how tired he was.

With our two babies being due next month, time was flying by, and we'd had an awful lot to do. I was exhausted, and I could tell he was too.
" it's okay, we can do it tomorrow. let's have a nap, I could do with a rest " I told him, standing on my tiptoes to peck his cheek.
He smiled as I did so, a blush rising to his cheek where I kissed as I headed for our room, and got cosy under the covers.
He was quick to join me, pulling my body against his, his hands immediately wrapping around my waist, landing on my belly and beginning to trace small patterns. At one point I felt him draw a heart, his head close to my stomach as he pecked it gently.
" a heart " he whispered, a smile forming on my lips as I listened to him.
He then drew a square with his finger against my belly, goosebumps spreading across my body just from his touch. He was so gentle, it was enough to make my heart skip a beat.
" a square. and this, is a circle " He said, doing a circle also.
I giggled as he did, his head popping up above the covers as he grinned back at me, cuddling back into my body.
" I love you so very much, hollyander finn. thank you for blessing me with your cringe jokes over tinder " He murmured into the crook of my neck, a laugh leaving my lips as I shook my head in disbelief.
" and I love you so very much too, grant. thank you for being the only fit lad who actually responded to my texts "
