After TWO years and a half, I can safely say that this book has finally reached an END. Oh sweet lord, it's been a tough ride. I feel like I aged ten years since the first chapter!

Also, it's not edited. So ignore any mistakes! I just didn't want you to wait any longer!

Five months later...

Cara's POV

I pressed my palm over my bump when I felt my belly tightening and my muscles stiffening. I walked forward shaking that uncomfortable feeling away.

My stomach and back muscles contracted painfully and I slammed my eyes shut.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

Phew.

If you think that I am gonna have the baby right now, well I hate to burst your bubble, but you're wrong. I've been having these amazing false alarms all over the past week.

I lost count over how many times I dragged Alex to the hospital. Poor thing, I gave him way too many unnecessary heart attacks.

Five days has passed since my due date and my baby is not planning on coming out. WHY? Just why?

I've never felt more uncomfortable.

I walked into the kitchen and my eyes fell on Katherine preparing the meal with Ashton assisting her. She's so lucky, Alex never helps me. Sigh.

Ashton's gaze went to me and he smiled, "You're still pregnant?" He asked amused.

Is he making fun of me?

He is, isn't he?

That son of a—

A harsh breath left me and I shot him a hard glare, "Do you want me to come there and sit on you," I threatened and pointed my finger at him, "Believe me, I will do it," My eyes narrowed and he looked so damn lost, "Have you ever had a pregnant woman sit on you? Lemme tell you, this things ain't light," I pointed at my belly, "Say one more thing and I'll suffocate the shit out of you."

He turned to Katherine and whispered ever so innocently, "What did I say?"

"Leave her, she's a raging monster these days." She whispered back.

I rolled my eyes, "Katherine, stop talking and go fetch me some water."

"See, I told you."

That bitch.

Ugh.

Where is my Alex?

On cue, he walked back into the kitchen and when he saw me, he broke into a smile, "Here is my cupcakes," he said as he reached for me and his arm went around my shoulder, pulling me to him.

I sighed and relaxed in his arms, "Hey," I said tiredly.

"Hey," He said back, soothingly as he rubbed at my arm, "Where is Lilly?"

"She stayed with my mom." I mumbled as my arm sneaked around his waist, "I am so tired."

He kissed the top of my head and mumbled in my hair, "I know cupcakes," He sighed, "Although, I can make it better if you want."
