In her eyes

Chapter 29-Mom's Powers

I woke up to the smell of bacon and cinnamon immediately thanking god for the wonderful mother I had. I felt strangely cold and snuggled closer to Blake. 

'Wait a minute' I thought as I looked over and counted. 

'1-2 my skinny arms, 3-4 Blake's bulkier muscled arms, 5-6....' I looked onto my left and Liam wasn't there. I ignored the depressed feelings inside of me and almost awwed at Blake. He had his arms around my waist and his head pressed into my neck. I tried to scoot back to see his face but his arms only tightened around me.

I had to wake him up to find Liam but I didn't want to have to. I traced my fingers up his back to his neck and played with the shortest hairs. I started to run my fingers through his hair. I was amazed at how soft and wavy it was. I didn't even notice it when Blake's eyes opened and he started breathing slightly heavier. 

I was still playing with his hair when he groaned. I quickly pulled away "Did that hurt? I'm sorr-" 

I was cut off when he placed my hand back in his hair and said in his morning voice "Princesa, please don't stop." 

I immediately felt the temperature in the room rise as I heard how deep his voice had become. It reminded me of that song 'Your Man' by Josh Turner but less country. I blushed at his plea and complied. 

I softly started to run my fingers through his hair again. I watched his face as he closed his eyes and tightened his arms around me. He sighed and his lips twitched when I started to use more pressure. The look on his face was what I can only describe as content. I don't know how long we layed there before Liam walked in. 

"Surprise" he cheered as I stared at him. He was holding a tray with a ton of bacon, cinnamon rolls, and strawberries. There was a tiny vase holding a pink and white rose and a cup of chocolate milk. 

I stared open mouthed until Blake sat up and pushed my mouth closed. He looked like he was trying not to laugh as he said "Don't want to catch flies."

I looked up at Liam with tears in my eyes and he panicked. 

"Is this too much? I'm sorry bebita. I just wanted too do something special because we've been so stressed out and I jus-" He was rambling so I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him down. 

I looked him in the eyes and said "Liam, I was trying not cry because I was so happy. I have never had anyone do something like this for me, except my mom and that was when I was sick. I am so overwhelmed and filled with joy that I started to cry tears of joy. Whatever it may seem like I have never had an actual relationship. I have fooled around but I've never had the emotional connection. You are giving me that and for every sweet thing you or Blake may do, no matter how small, means the world to me." 

I looked up at him and his gaze was filled with so many emotions I couldn't decipher. My cheeks grew hot when I realized what I had said. He pulled away and moved the tray to my desk then turned around. His eyes were bright green and I turned and saw Blake's were black.

Lorenzo spoke first "mi niña pequeña, you cannot expect Liam to be able to hold me back after you say something like that." I could feel Skye purring at his words.

"Princesa, you are our air in space. Our water in the desert. Our sunlight in our darkest days. We are with you not only for who you are but for what we become when we are with you. We are better people, you make us want to be better people." Ryder said grabbing my chin. 

"I swear that I couldn't feel any stronger about you than I already do. But, I know that I will tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, till the end of time. We wish to treasure every moment we have with you." Ryder finishes looking at Lorenzo.
