Hello Stranger- I'm a Disaster (Freddie Mercury love story)

52.) Baby, I Was Born to Love You

I woke up to sweet slow kisses being placed on my cheek. I smiled in response, still with my eyes closed.

"Good Morning, love. I didn't mean to wake you," he huskily whispered in my ear.

I stretched my arms above my head and with the little strength I had this morning, I turned to face him. Finally, opening my eyes, I look to see him smiling down at me. I raise my hand to cup his cheek and pull him in for a soft, tender kiss.

"Good morning, Papi.," This earned me another kiss, but his was more forceful. He loves when I call him that and I always love his reaction.

"I have to get going down to the studio," he said as he got up and wrap himself in his silk kimono robe.

"Wait for me. I want to go with. You know, say hello to the guys," I got up to hurriedly get ready with Freddie. Since he said he was running late as it is, we both just got dressed into fresh clothing and we were having a quick breakfast when we heard the doorbell ring.

"I'll get it," I said as I walked out of the kitchen, leaving Freddie to finish his cup of tea.

Opening the door, I was greeted by a bright smiling Phoebe. "Phoebe! Long time no see. Come in..,"

"The guys said it'd be okay for me to return to work now...is it really alright?," he looked kind of skeptical and I'm confused what he means by that. Before I can question him, Freddie walked out of the kitchen and froze when he caught sight of Phoebe standing there. Okay, what did I miss?

The two men stared at each other for a moment making me very uncomfortable. Then, Freddie strolled over to phoebe and embraced him in a long hug.

"I'm sorry for being a complete ass! Thank you for coming back, Phoebs," Freddie said his apology and pulled back from the hug smiling widely.

"I've come to take you to the studio, if that's okay. I had a feeling you'd be running late.," phoebe smiled sheepishly, still looking unsure.

"Of course, of course. You have your job back- permanently or as long as you wish.," Freddie replies with a pat on the back.

"Better get going then. Sorry to break up the bromance...," I giggled as I shrugged into my coat.

Phoebe drove us to the studio and said he'd be back to pick us up after the rest of his usual errands. We walked into the control room to see the gang already in action.

John was seated next to Brian, they were both watching Roger bang his drums in the recording booth and messing about with the buttons on the control panel. Brian took off his headphones when he spotted us.

"Cherie! Welcome back, dear!," He is awfully cheery and comes to embrace me in a hug and a quick peck on my cheek. I smile up at him- I missed him so.

"Good to see you, Bri. I've missed you," I admitted.

"Aw, but what about me?,"  a smiley Deacy walked over now with his arms stretched out to his side, gesturing for a hug. I ran into his arms and hugged him back tightly.

"Of course, I missed you too, Deaks! I've missed all of you," I said the last part loudly since Roger just walked in from the recording room and immediately hugged me too. Even though he and I have the least of a relationship, he's still Freddie's family. And Freddie's family is now mine, too.

The whole time, the band greeted me, Freddie stood back just watching and smiling at our exchange. I love seeing him so happy. He came up behind me, placing his hand on my belly and a small kiss on my cheek. The guys all smiled at us, it would usually make me feel awkward, but I'm not letting that stop us from being in our lovey dovey bliss.
