"mom?"  i call out as me and Shannon step inside my parents house..a couple of minutes later,my mom appears with a big smile on her face  "honey!you're early,i was cooking"  she hugs Shannon  "mom,it's half past twelve"  she looks at her clock  "oh.i lost cognition of time.i was baking a cake..for you"  i smile and kiss her cheek  "a cake?baby,try not to eat it all" Shannon tells me,i give her a bad look  "leave her alone..my baby needs to feed your daughter" my mom steps in my defense..i stick my tongue out and my fiancee smiles. "how was the trip?you must have had cold in Canada..why did you have to go there in your condition?" my mom begins as we walk towards my bedroom  "mom..i'm fine.i can't stay on a bed for the rest of the pregnancy"  "Cari, in less than two months you will give birth!"  "exactly for this reason,i want to be as active as possible..when June will be born,all my energies will be focus on her"  she snorts  "you're so stubborn..i'm letting you put down your stuff.see you later" she exits the room and i look at Shannon,rolling my eyes  "what?"  she asks raising her hands  "i know that you agree with her"  "babe..i didn't say a word"  "there was no need.."  "but babe.."  she starts,trying to grab me by my hips..i pull away  "i'm taking a bath.alone."  i breathe deeply,closing the bathroom door..i know that they want to protect me and take care of me but sometimes it's exhausting being the centre of all the attention. i take off the large t-shirt and the shoes..when it comes to the sweatpants i try to take them off making movements with the hips..i sigh, seeing that i'm not succeeding..i reach the door  "Shan?" i hear footsteps getting closer  "yes?"  "can you help me?"  i open the door  "of course"  she enters, smiling  "take off that gloating smile from your face"  "at your command,my mistress"  i bite my lip to not laugh..she kneels down and i lay on her to keep the balance  "anything else,madame?"  "no, miss Beveridge.you're free to go"   she slaps my ass, exiting the bathroom  "ok..by the way,you can't resist me for so long"  she closes the door and i smile, sitting in my bathtub..for much as i'd love to stay annoyed,she's right.i need her..not just for the practical things..i need her proximity,her touch,her love..i tried to get angry for the whole diary thing,but i simply can't.forty minutes later,i open the bathroom door,more relaxed...Shannon is laying on the bed,looking at something in her phone..i reach her to plant a kiss on her lips  "you feel better?"  "yes..thank you for understanding even when i'm unbearable"  "hey..i'm here for this..you're not alone..i'm not carrying the baby, but i certainly carrying all the side aspects"  i intertwine our fingers  "i know, baby.."  she sits up to kiss me..i breathe her sweet scent and enjoy the warmth of her mouth  "girls...lunch is ready" my mom interrupts us, knocking on the door..we pull away..Shannon takes my hand, exiting the room.

we meet with my father and my brother in the living room  "hi baby..how's it going with my granddaughter?"  "good..she makes us feel her presence"  he kisses my head  "pregnancy looks good on you". "hey Beveridge,is my sister driving you crazy?"  Shannon smirks,looking at me  "well..sometimes..you know,the hormones..she has ups and downs..but it's all worth it" Bobby puts her hand on my bump  "hey, little June..uncle Bobby is waiting for you..i hope you will look like me because your mothers are ugly"  "she won't look like you..babies look like their parents or grandparents"  i tell him  "there's a percentage of similarity with the uncles too..and i know that my niece will accomplish that job"  i laugh, walking to the table "keep on dreaming, lil' bro".

"so..Nina sent the participations" my mom says while i'm taking a bite of the spaghetti  "we have to talk about the decorations,the flowers,the chairs,the food...well,everything.." she continues. i look at Shannon who grabs my hand,intertwining our fingers  "sure.we can talk later,in the afternoon"  my mom smiles  "what a good girl you are, Shannon..i'm happy that my daughter found a woman like you.it's not always easy to get along with the mother-in-law..but i guess all the mothers would love to have a daughter-in-law like you" my fiancee blushes adorably  "thank you..but for me it's super easy..you gave me Cari..i will be forever thankful for this"  "aawww..if i hadn't been married or straight,i'd have fallen in love with you" my mother says, standing up to hug my fiancee..i look at my dad,raising my eyebrow..he smiles  "i get what she means..i'd have fallen in love with Shannon too"  "dad!"  they burst out laughing..i throw my arms around Shannon's neck  "mine!".
