chapter 35

:༅𐐪𐑂｡:༅𐐪𐑂 :༅｡𐐪𐑂 °

By the time Justin gets up the next morning I had already been up for a few hours. I couldn't sleep and I missed my Stella. But she wouldn't be home until later and that meant I had time to start looking for marriage counselors.

I knew Justin wouldn't like the idea of it. In fact I would go as far as to say he'd hate it, but if we were going to make our marriage work we needed this. We had issues we refused to talk about so maybe an unbiased third party could help.

When he comes down he kisses me on the lips and starts looking for something to eat before turning to look at me. He tilts his head and smiles softly. I loved his smile.

"Hungry? We can go out for breakfast" I shake my head

"I've been eating all morning"

"All morning? How long have you been awake?"

"Just a few hours" I say "I couldn't sleep and then I got hungry" I smile and he chuckles softly

"Speaking of.. how is he?" He questions walking back towards me to feel on my belly. I was three months and to say I was starting to show would be an understatement. I didn't show nearly as much at three months with Stella

"You really think it's a boy?"

"I hope so" He smiles the widest smile

"I don't care what they are. I just want them happy and healthy" I say and he kisses my forehead, but then things go quiet and I know that I have to tell Justin about the marriage counselor I've found.

"So while I was up I uh– I found us a counselor. As in a marriage counselor" In any other situation I would advert my gaze and hope for the best, but I needed to see him. I needed to see his reaction because this was our marriage that I was talking about. This wasn't something we could continue to kick under the rug and just hope for the best. We needed to be on the same page

"A marriage counselor" he says circling back around the island as if he doesn't want to be near me all of a sudden.

"Yes" now he's quiet and I'm quiet, but quietness didn't go over well with me. I wanted to know how he felt

"Are you going to say anything?" I question softly

"I uh – I guess I didn't think we were there yet. You know at the marriage counselor stage" He rubs the back of his neck

"We were there a long time ago Justin. I tried to avoid it. We both did but I think we could use it. I think it will help"

"You're right, but I guess I just hate the fact that it's come to this. I love you and you know that." I nod. I didn't doubt his love for me, but love wasn't just something we could go off of. If we avoided this any longer there wouldn't be an us for much longer.

"I love you too" I don't know what else to say except that. I just needed for him to be okay with this. After a moment of awkward silence he finally opens his mouth to speak up

"I don't like this; you probably already know that but if it's what's going to help our marriage I'll do whatever it takes." I smile widely and hop up from the island and make my way over to him. He pulls me in and kisses me gently.

I know it took a lot for him to agree to this, but that had to mean he was serious about this; about us.

"I love you Mr. Bieber"

"I love you Mrs. Bieber"

Oh wow.. It's been a while and this is super short! In all honesty I've gotten so many requests to update. Comments, wall posts and dms and so that's why I decided to. I feel a completely different way about this story and about Justin which is why I abandoned it. I'm not even sure I want to end it how I originally wanted to end it BUT we'll see. Because of the requests for me to update I'll probably just finish this out for you guys because you're amazing and loyal!!! :)

BTW this particular chapter has been sitting in the vault for months. I just never posted it, but here it goes
