Lani's P.O.V.
------- 1 MONTH LATER -------
"Will you put me down! I can walk!" I yelled as Tom carried me down the stairs. I get that he cares and he doesn't want anything to happen to me when i'm getting even closer to my due date, but this is ridiculous. I don't think I have seen anyone as overprotective as Tom.
We reach the bottom of the stairs and he slowly puts me down like I'm made of china and will break at the tiniest amount of pressure. I roll my eyes and walk away sulking. I hear him sigh and i elect to ignore it not really caring at this point in time.
"Lani. How'd you sleep hun?" I look at my mum and manage a small smile.
"I slept alright." The truth? I hardly slept. Sleeping with what feels like a balloon in my middle makes it very uncomfortable. Top that with the back pains and getting too hot it really doesn't help.
She gave me a look that said 'Liar' and once again i really didn't care. I rolled my eyes and walked to the fridge and grabbed out the leftover fruit salad and grabbed a bowl. I filled the bowl and then moved to the table and sat down before eating my food.
I look over at my mum who walked over and sat at the table looking at me. "What?"
"How did you really sleep?" she asked.
"Like shit. I couldn't get comfortable, had back pains and i was always kicking off blankets because it got to damn hot. Mum, I can't take this. I haven't had a decent night sleep in who knows how long and it is really starting to tick me off." I felt the tears flow down my cheeks and look away from her.
"Honey, it's not the end of the world. You don't have too long to wait and you will be able to sleep a little better than before. Trust me. I went through everything that you're going through and i can honestly say i know how you feel."
"When you put it that way, i just want them to come out now! I'm going freaking insane! I'm cooped up in the house, mainly from some advice that Brendon gave me and I'm feeling like a mouse that has been caught in a corner. I won't last the time i have left."
"That's rubbish. You will make it, i know you will and when you have a man like Tom by your side every step of the way, there is nothing you can do. Isn't that right Tom?" I saw him poke his head through the door and i knew he had listened in and i got the urge to walk upto him and slap him again.
He walked over and sat beside me. I didn't react to it and decided to hear them out at least this once. "Your mum is right. I would do anything to help you through this. You know that i would. You are everything to me." Tom explains.
"But you smother me!" I didn't mean to yell it just happened and i made both of them jump.
"Is that what you think I'm doing?" Tom asks. I look at him and can see several emotions i can't name run through his eyes.
"No.... B-But your always there.... you t-treat me like I'm made of China and it erks, oh how it erks me. I'm so used to doing things on my own that it feels like your trying to stop me from breaking..... I'm not a f*cking china doll Tom. You don't need to treat me like one. Yes I may be heavily pregnant and all, but i can still do things on my own from time to time. When you insist to help with absolutely everything, it makes me feel like an invalid..... And i don't want that."
"I'm not trying to make you feel like such a thing Lani. I just don't want to see you hurt. I already failed that once." I knew he was refering to what happened with Monty, which is why I'm now on what could be called House Arrest. I'm not supposed to leave the house unless it is an absolute emergency like going into labor.
"That wasn't your fault Tom. It really wasn't." Somewhere in my mini rant, my mum had left the room to give us some privacy which i appreciated. "I don't see that as your fault, you shouldn't either. No one knew he was going to show and you can't blame yourself for something that you couldn't predict. Your only human Tom."
"I suppose your right. Can we call a compromise then?" He looks at me, his eyes meeting mine and locking.
"I think we can. I'll make you a deal, if you promise not to be to smothering of me then i will let you help me out when i really need it. Deal?" I hold out my hand for him to shake and he slowly takes it and shakes it.
"Deal. I love you Lani."
"And I you, Hiddleston." He chuckles.
"You know that will be your last name soon. It won't be Hemsworth."
"It will be and I honestly can't wait. It's exciting. I've dreamed of my wedding day since... well, forever. It's like every little girls dream to get married to her Prince Charming. Or in my case, Prince of Asgard." He chuckles again and kisses me softly and i return it.
"Then i will happily be that man for you, forever and always. You're all i want and need and nothing will ever change that." I hug him and bury my head in his shoulder as he rubs my back.
"Forever and Always."
