XxXxX Two Months Later XxXxX

I splash the cool water on my face and grab the towel resting on the counter patting my face dry.  I look up into the mirror and catch the reflection of Tyler behind me standing in just a pair of sweatpants as he rubs the back of his neck.  I smile and watch as he moves closer to me, stopping directly behind me, where he wraps his hands around my waist, resting on my belly.  "Good mornin' gorgeous."  He says lightly kissing my neck, causing me to sigh and lean back into him, resting against his strong chest.    

"Mornin' hubby."  I say turning my head to look up at him my gaze meeting his dark eyes.  "I love you."  He grins down at me before bending to kiss me.  

"We should probably tell your parents today,"  He mutters against my neck, the slight tickle of his stubble causing me to wiggle in his grasp.  

I turn around in his arms, the small bump of my belly between us.  "Yeah...."  I let out a long breath and rest my hands on his shoulders.  "I know.  I just......  I don't want daddy to be mad a me."  I feel my eyes growing wet and blink back the tears, shaking my head.  "I'm sorry Ty. I love you.  It just worries me that they'll be mad we eloped and didn't tell them."

His hand moves from around my waist to lifting my chin to look at him.  "Dee, it'll be alright.  We're happy and thats what counts."  He kisses my forehead, "Besides they had to expect it.  We were engaged before I was MIA, and made it happen again when I got back.  We were getting married anyway, this was faster and cheaper.  Neither of us wanted a big crazy weddin' anyway."  He brushes a few stray hairs away from my face.  "We're adults hon, we can make our choices without them being there.  We're havin' our own baby Dee.  They'll understand eventually if they don't get it right away."

I bite my lip and nod, "What Dee?  You don't regret it do ya?"

I shake my head and rest my hand on his cheek, "No.  I could never.  I just know daddy wanted to walk all us girls down the aisle."  I press my lips to his jaw trailing kisses across until I reach his lips, gently kissing him.  "I love you. I just don't want him to be hurt by it.  But your right.  We need to tell them."

"Well we still got work to do, I'll tell Owen their invited over for dinner if ya want?  We can just cook up some chicken, so its easy."  Tyler says as he pulls back from me, and walking out of the bathroom.  I follow after him stopping at my side of the closet and pull out a pair of breaches with a stretchy waist band, tossing them to land on the bed, slowly reaching over to Tylers side I snag a shirt and hold it to my chest as he looks at me raising his brow.  He shakes his head before dropping his sweats, kicking them away from his feet.  I watch him for a moment, before turning my focus away avoiding distraction.  I quickly toss my fuzzy pajamas onto the bed and change into my clothes for the day, smiling as Tylers shirt slides down and falls against the small baby bump.  "You look better in that than I ever have."  He says stepping up next to me.  I roll my eyes and grin up at him.  

He grabs my hand in his and gently tugs me after him out into the kitchen where we eat a quick breakfast, of pancakes and bacon and I swallow the vitamins I need for the baby.  On the way out I grab a banana and carry it with me to leave in the office for later.
