Chapter Forty One

Becca's POV

"Well, see you later! And congratulations," Lily waves to us, that huge grin from earlier still plastered on her lips. I wave back and get into the passenger seat of our car, Luke right beside me.

As Luke drives, I pull my phone out of my pocket and go to the texting app, to let Liz know that she can bring Pete back to the apartment.

*Okay, see you there!* She replies when Luke parks into the drive way. I step out and grasp Luke's firm hand. He brings it to his lips and smiles as we walk inside.

I walk upstairs to get in the shower. When I lock the door behind me, I grab a towel from off the rack by the sink and strip off all of my clothes, turn on the water, and hop inside. The hot water relaxes my muscles as it slides down my skin and I sigh at the contact.

I rub the shampoo and conditioner throughout my hair and rinse it out thoroughly. Then I wash my body and shut off the shower.

I dry off my small figure and wrap the towel tightly around my torso, pulling my hair up into a sloppy bun afterwards. Luke is sitting on the bed with his phone in his hands, I see that he changed into sweats and pulled on a beanie. He didn't flinch when I clicked open the door, but he looks up soon.

"Hey Bec," Luke smiles and puts his phone on the charger, then he turns it off completely. I wave and open the closet to grab some clothes. I get some undergarments, cotton shorts, and a black cami.

I walk back to the bathroom and throw on the articles of clothing. Then I look into the mirror briefly and walk out to Luke. He hits the space on our bed next to him, beckoning me to sit next to him, which I do.

The doorbell rings and I stand up again to get it. I see Jack and a sleeping Pete there, so I smile.

"Mum had to go somewhere, late notice," Jack explains. I nod as he holds out his arms, giving Pete to me.

"Thanks, bye!" I say.

"Oh, one more thing," Jack says.

"Yes?" I ask.

"I see you said yes to Luke," he grins, pointing to my ring. I grin at him and nod. "Well, see you!"

I close the door and lay Peter down in his crib. Then I walk back upstairs to my bedroom and sit next to Luke. He embraces me into a hug and sighs.

I hug him back for a few minutes, but he pulls away and presses a kiss onto my lips, lingering for a few seconds. "I'm gonna go see Pete," He informs me. I nod and follow him downstairs, but instead of walking into the nursery behind him I go to the kitchen. It's 4:15 so I don't know if I should make a snack or dinner... Ugh, life is so hard.

I get a granola bar out of the pantry and sit down in a chair, normally Luke sits here but oh well. He comes out of Pete's room with the baby in his arms, then he sits him down in the high chair.

"When did he wake up?" I ask.

"A minute ago," Luke says, smiling at him. He pulls Pete's bottle out of the fridge and gives it to him. During the 5 weeks he's been alive, he's learned a lot. He can't crawl or walk but he can stand, and he can handle the bottle on his own now. Luke sits down across from me but doesn't avert his eyes from our son.

I toss the wrapper of my granola bar into the trash and sigh, but I sit back down. Luke, Pete, and I are quiet for a long period of time.

I catch myself staring at Luke the whole time. I look deep into his pale blue eyes as he stares at Pete. His eyes are like jewels, because they shine when the light reflects off of them and it's just beautiful. He has dimples, kind of, but they're not like Ashton's. They're still really cute. And when he wears beanies I just... gah I can't take it. I never admit this kind of thing to him though. And to think I am gonna marry him? That's a dream come true.
