Chapter 3

Elena's POV

*one month later*

"Braid?" I asked Elizabeth and she nodded her head.

I ran the brush through her hair first and then began to braid.

She kissed my cheek and scurried out of the room after I was finished.

Thomas was sleeping next to me, his hands balled into fists and held closely to his face. He is just so perfect..

Calum came in and sat down at the other side of Thomas and scooped him up in his arms and gazed down at him.

The sight alone was almost breathtaking in a way. Seeing Calum with Thomas in his arms, it made my heart flutter.

"I'm gonna go put him in his crib, it's getting late." Calum said and I nodded.

He came back a few minutes later and I got myself into the covers.

"Lizzie asleep?" I asked him.

"Yeah, she's all tucked into her bed." He smiled at me and closed the door.

"Why'd you do that? What if Thomas starts crying and we can't hear him? Or if Lizzie needs us?" I sit up and look at him.

"Shh, just for a little while." He says quietly and stalks over to me.

Immediately I know what his intentions are.

I sigh, "Calum, no...not tonight." I say and pull the blanket further up to cover myself.

"Elena." He says and climbs up the bed towards me. He places kisses along my neck and jawline and then onto my neck..

"Calum, stop." I say and push him away gently.

He groans and climbs off the bed. "Your joking with me, right? Elena, we haven't had sex in months. Months!" He exclaims.

"I'm sorry." I hiss. "It's just.." I'm to much of a coward to tell him how uncomfortable I am with my body..

"Elena." He says. "Tell me."

I run my hands down my face, "I don't like...this." I motioned towards my whole self.

"What do you mean?" He questions, his brows furrow in confusion.

I hate confessing my insecurities. "I'm...I am disgusting. I disgust myself, Calum." I say, frustrated.

"Oh..." He says. "Oh, Elena." He shakes his head and comes back over to me, hovering his body over him.

"Let me make you feel beautiful." He says into my ear.

My breath hitches in my throat and my body feels like it's aching for his touch.

He runs his hand along my body and he kisses my lips and then my neck, down my chest and then stops when he reaches my stomach.

He slips off my t shirt and kisses my bare stomach. "God, you're beautiful." His raspy voice tells me.

He runs his fingers along my arms and my chest.

"Mine." He whispers to me and he brings my bare chest to his.

He begins his slow thrust in me and then his pace quickens and I can feel his heart beating.

His breathing is rigid and I can feel the muscles in his back tensing with each thrust.

"I love you."

"I love you."

We were next to each other, he was playing with my hair between his fingers and my hands traced the muscles on his chest and stomach.

"I feel bad for the ones who haven't experienced a love as great as ours." He says to me.

I look up at him and he smiles at me.

"We've been through so much shit...so much pain. Yet here we are. Together. Together with our family, and I have never been happier." He kisses my nose.

"Thank you for coming back to me." I whisper to him and kiss his chest.

"Thank you for the life you've given me." He kisses the top of my head and we fall asleep in each other's arms.
