One More Chance: Book 1

Ch.32 - Baby Boy

18 weeks...

(Devyn)

This pregnancy has been what feels like forever long. Don't get me wrong, this journey is beautiful and amazing.

But I'm ready for the baby to come out already.

I'm ready for life with the man I love with all of my heart and soul.

I looked over at him being quiet as he slept.

Since the incident, he's been sleeping roughly. Bad nightmares left and right. I thought I had them bad but he's more physical and violent in ways.

He doesn't hurt me or anyone but if he's woken up during his sleep, he freaks out and it worries me.

I wanted to let him to continue sleeping and getting much rest as possible. But he looks uncomfortable. He looks restless.

It breaks my heart seeing him this way.

He tossed and turned all morning. He eventually stopped facing towards me and his eyebrows showed his expression of pain.

I laid on my side carefully despite my growing belly in between us. My fingers ran through his hair softly continuously.

My hand rested against his cheek slowly caressing his skin softly.

I raised my leg over his and I didn't stop.

My lips carefully met his chin since I couldn't reach any further.

He began to move around a little when his hand grabbed my thigh.

His eyes opened as his smile grew bigger, "Good Morning, Baby girl."

Xander leaned letting our lips touch and I kissed him slowly, savoring every taste of his lips.

"Good morning, sweet face."

He pulled the blankets over us and I cuddled closer to him watching as he closed his eyes.

"How did you sleep?"

He exhaled quietly, "Not good. These horror nightmares, they're awful."

I frowned looking at him.

"I'm sorry, Baby."

He shrugged, "It's whatever. They'll eventually pass. It just sucks right now. I understand how you deal with it now. I hate it so much."

I let him pull me close to him as he nuzzled his head under my chin like I do to him. He laid there kissing my neck here and there.

"It'll pass soon, I promise."

His grip grew tighter slightly to not hurt me.

"I love you so much, Dev. I don't know what I would do if I never had you."

I looked back at him and his eyes met mine instantly, "I love you with all of my heart."

His lips touched mine closing the space between us. I kissed his lips softly almost lazily.

We laid in one another's arms laying there in peace and quiet.

"Are you sure you're okay with the party?"

"I'll be fine."

"No, I need to know your going to enjoy it. Not kind of just there. Especially after everything that happened."

He smiled kissing my lips slowly, "I promise you. I will be fine. It's an exciting day, we get to see family and friends. Find out what if we're having a baby girl
Or baby boy."
