"Wake up beautiful." I hear Ross whisper as he trails kisses from my neck to my lips. "No, five more minutes." I groan and snuggle into his chest. "You know, this used to be much more fun when you'd wake me up." He laughs wrapping his arms around me.

After hanging out at the lake until 11 last night, we came back to the house and we had so much fun.

Not fun in a sexual manner, we talked a lot. We talked about anything and everything until three in the morning. He even tried telling me his really bad jokes.

"Well, I wasn't four months pregnant with little to no sleep back then," I say and he laughs bringing a big smile to my face. I finally open my eyes to find him looking at me with a big smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask and he shakes his head. "I think my mom, would have been proud of me if she had met you." He says caressing my cheek. I feel my cheek turn a bright red and hide my face in the crook of his neck to mask my embarrassment. "Yeah, right," I mumble and leave his embrace to get ready for the day ahead.

~Ross Pov~

As I watch, admiringly, the way Ashley likes to get ready every morning, I get distracted by the thoughts in my head.

Who would've thought there was this beautiful blonde walking around, just waiting to turn my entire fucking life around by driving me insane and making me love her more than breathing. 

If I had known she was out there sooner I wouldn't have wasted my time fucking every chick that I could, but I didn't care about anything before. There was no driving force with green eyes guiding me through this dark fucked life of mine.

I made so many mistakes and now I have to work harder than most to try to right those wrongs, but I'll do it because I love this woman so much, it hurts.

If I could take it back I wouldn't have touched any girl, not one, and if I would've known how good being with Ashley would feel I would've been preparing myself, counting down the days until she walked into that school and completely changed my life.

"Ross, are you listening?" Ashley's voice brings me back to reality. "Sorry, what were you saying?" I look up at her to see her fully dressed and ready to start the day. "I asked, how do I look? I even twirled for you."  She pouts.

"Are you seriously asking me that?" I lift an eyebrow and she nods. I stand up from the bed and walk towards her wrapping my arms securely around her. "You're beautiful, baby." I peck her lips. "Something is missing though." I walk to the nightstand and grab her glasses. I walk back to where she's standing and put them on her. "There, now you're ready to go." She rolls her eyes scrunching her nose and walks away.

~Ashley's Pov~

We were now in physics and Ross won't let me concentrate on our report. "Will you stop taking pictures of me?" I giggle and try to take his phone out of his hand.

"But you look so beautiful, concentrated like that." He says sliding his hand up my thigh. "You do too but you don't see me taking your picture." I smile when I catch him off guard and take his phone away. "Hey!" He pouts. "You'll get this back later." I stick my tongue out at him and he leans in to kiss me.

I pull away and point to the textbook in front of him. "Maybe you'll get something in return later," I whisper in his ear and can feel him tense up. I love teasing him.

"You're going to leave me like that?" I nod as I write stuff down and hear him huff. "Teasing you is quite entertaining. Come on we have 15 minutes left. At least do the math portion of this report since I suck at it." I hand him the paper and he starts writing different equations down.

"Your phone has been going off nonstop all day." I hand Ross his phone annoyed and he laughs shaking his head. "I forgot you even had it." He grabs it from my hand and kisses my cheek. "I did too until I heard it vibrating in my pocket." I close my locker after grabbing what I needed and we start walking out to his car.

"I'm so excited for this doctor's visit." He says with a smile. "Let me guess you want a boy?" I smile at how ecstatic he is about his child. "Actually kind of want a girl." He says and I turn my head to see his cheeks are bright red. "Are you blushing?" I ask laughing. "Shut up." He says while his blush deepens. "That's adorable," I say giggling. "Anyway, can we visit my parents after the appointment?" He mumbles not taking his eyes off the road.

I grab his hand from my lap. "Of course we can," I say as he parks the car giving me a chance to kiss his cheek.

We get out of the car and walk into the hospital. "Sit down, I'll go check you in." He kisses my forehead and walks to the receptionist.

After about 20 minutes the doctor calls my name and we walk in. She puts the cold cream on my stomach and starts the ultrasound.

"Ms.Evans, Mr.Lynch congratulation you're having a healthy baby girl." She says and we both look at each other with a huge grin on our faces.

As soon as we are out of the hospital I am pulled into a tight embrace. "I love you," Ross says pressing his lips to mine. I smile into the kiss and go on my tippy toes to deepen the kiss.

"I love you, let's go visit your parents and give them the news." I peck his lips one more time.

The ride to the cemetery was fun. We talked about different names we could give our daughter and decided on three. Ross came up with all of them, he's excited.

"You know, you don't talk about your parents," I tell him as we walk to where they were buried. "Well." He stops and sits on the grass next to the two graves, pulling me in between his legs and wrapping his arms around me securely. "I don't remember much about my mom because I was only five but I remember she was the one that signed me and my brothers up for hockey and gave me my first guitar. Even when she was sick she took all four of us to every single practice." I feel his lips kiss my hair and I smile.

"No wonder you're so good at it." I turn my head to kiss him. "My dad was my biggest fan. He went to every one of my games if he wasn't working. When I was a kid I was obsessed with Lamborghinis, all my toy cars were Lamborghinis and I wouldn't let any of my brothers mess with them or I'd fight them." He says and I laugh. "Well, now we know why you like fighting so much."

"Shut up." He shakes his head. "Anyway, when I turned 16 and got my license, I came home from school and my dad gave me my car. I wish I would've told him how much he meant to me more often." He lays his head on mine. "I have no doubt he knew."
