Always

Chapter 145

I'm not sure how long we lay there. I even drifted off to sleep a few times, and when I did wake up, I heard Colby snoring softly beside me. The sun was trying it's best to shine through the bamboo blinds, making streaks of light on the carpet. My body was still spent, so I curled back up against Colby, and closed my eyes. Sleep didn't come back for me though, and my stomach started growling. I got up and found a soft white, plush robe hanging in the closet. I slid it on, loving the feel of  it on my skin so much, that I rubbed the arm of it against my cheek. I heard a hum or some kind of noise coming from the bed so I turned my head to find Colby awake, propped up on his arms, staring at me. "You're beautiful, you know that?" he asked, his voice still raspy enough to send chills down my body. Could he be any more perfect? For those words to be the first ones that I hear when I wake up...I sighed in contentment, before rushing back to the bed, and bouncing onto it, next to him. He laughed, and wrapped his arms around my waist, still lying next to me, while I was kneeling. "Someone woke up happy." I leaned down and kissed him, smacking my lips against his playfully. "How could I not be?" I replied, smiling. "I woke up, after one hell of a night, I might add," He smirked and I continued, "I'm in Hawaii, a freaking paradise, with the man of my dreams, who is insanely hot," he rolled his eyes, "and I'm carrying said man's child in my belly. I would be crazy not be hap-" I was cut off by my stomach growling fiercely. "Oh," I gasped in surprise. Colby busted out laughing, throwing his hand over his mouth. "Guess the baby is hungry." I said sheepishly. He placed his hand over my belly, rubbed it, then leaned over and kissed it. "Then let's go get little Noah something to eat, huh?' He spoke to my stomach, and I think my heart fell for him even more, if that was possible. Is it possible? I thought that I loved him with my entire ass heart so how could I possibly fall more in love with him every single day. It didn't make sense but I wasn't going to complain. We took a shower together, enjoying the spacious area for more than it's intended use, then changed into our swim clothes, with active wear over them. Better to be prepared. We went outside to the little cafe area and found a table. The waiter came by and took our order. Before long, our table was full of food and my mouth was absolutely watering. So many different kinds of fresh fruits, sausage, eggs, white rice...I was starving and I was in heaven. To be honest, I don't even know if Colby ate. I devoured the food in front of me, barely stopping to chew. Apparently, I had worked up a real appetite. When I looked up to grab my napkin, Colby was just sitting there staring at me, his blue eyes full of adoration and humor. I blushed, knowing that I had just made a pig of myself. "Stop watching me eat." I said, covering my mouth with my napkin. He chuckled and put his hand on my leg. "I love knowing that you're taking care of you and our son. It's so amazing." My heart swelled again. We paid and headed towards our rental car. "What do you wanna start our day off with?" He asked me, sliding sunglasses on over his eyes before starting the car and letting the top down. "Anything." I replied. I was excited and full of energy. I didn't care what we did as long as we were together. He smiled, and put his hand in it's usual place on my thigh. "That's my girl." "Your wife." I corrected him with a grin. One corner of his lips turned up. "I really love the sound of that." He said, pulling out onto the road. "Me too." I replied. The amazing scenery caught my eyes. It was so much different in the daytime, considering that I could actually seen the mountains, green from the plants and moss growing over them, the road itself on a cliff over looking the deep, dark blue waters. I was transfixed. We drove and drove, enjoying the wind on our faces, whipping our hair around, and singing along with the music, laughing at one another. Finally we reached our first destination. A hiking trail that led to a cliff overlooking the ocean. Then we would be heading back down, towards an area that had a waterfall, and a hot spring. Then we would hit the beach to watch the sunset, and finally enjoy the luau that was planned in the bar area at the hotel. That was just the first day. Our days were full of things like this, relaxing and exhausting at the same time. We did hike after hike, taking so many pictures of the beautiful landscape that I wasn't sure how my phone still had space. We swam so much, I was always hungry. I swear I could see my stomach growing every time I shoved food into my mouth. Colby would always just laugh at me when I mentioned it, and lovingly touch me in some way, before speaking to the baby, always calling him Little Noah. The adoration in his voice when he would do that, always set my heart on fire. He was going to be the most amazing father. Colby drank a couple of nights but usually he didn't, not wanting too since I couldn't. I told him that it was fine, but he would just shrug and decline the drink. He's such a sweetheart. While our days were full of adventure and relaxation, our nights were full of each other. I thought that we already knew everything about one another's body but, for some reason, this was like it was new every time. We took our time, exploring and sampling, enjoying our time together, without interruptions, I might add. When the final day came, I was sad. I wasn't ready to leave but I knew that we had too.
