We were packing up. Michael had us going on a mini trip. We did not have the time, nor could we afford to go on a honeymoon right now. Michael was off the next few days. He had a little get away trip planned for us.

I did not have much to pack. And Michael would not tell me what he was planning. I could hardly wait to find out where we were going. I would go anywhere as long as I was with Michael. We always had so much fun together. We enjoyed each other's company.

I come waddling down the stairs with my one bag in my hands. Michael meets me at the stairs. I could not believe that a trip down the stairs winded me. I was tired by that. I make my way to the couch as Michael was taking our luggage to the car.

I rest my head on the back of the couch. It was hot today. It was always warm in LA. I hoped wherever we went had a pool. And air conditioning. I needed it. I was wearing a dress. With a tank top on. I hardly ever wore dresses. But that was how warm I was. The baby was like having a little heater inside of my tummy.

"We are already to go baby" Michael tells me as he comes back in the room. "Are you ready babe?"

He sits down beside me.
He kisses me then rubs my shoulders with his hand.

"I feel fatter day after day. Pretty soon I will not be able to see my own ankles" I sigh.

"You have a little baby bump. You are not even huge yet" he laughs as he rubs my tummy with his hand.

"Yet. Key word. But I will be" I warn him.

He kisses me. "You are glowing" he promises me.

"Sweating" I laugh.

He grins. "Oh baby" he chuckles.

"I am ready to go" I say.

He gets up. Then he holds a handout for me to take. He helps me off the couch. He leads me to the car outside in our driveway. He opens the car door for me. I get in. Then he gets in. He already started the car for me. The air was running. I sigh happily as the cool air fans me in the face. Michael was really the best guy ever. I loved him so much.

"I could tell you were a little warm" he admits to me when he sits down in the car.

"Thanks so much" I say.

He nods. "No worries. Want to know where we are headed?" he asks me. He takes my hand in his. He laces our fingers together.

"Sure" I agree.

He smiles brightly at me. "Hidden Hills. I rented us a condo for four days. A four-day weekend. And it has a pool and a hot tub to" he brags.

"That sounds so amazing!" I gush.

"Friends of mine rent over there all the time. They said they love it. They are even thinking of buying a cottage there or a condo there for summer trips" he explains to me.
