"novs? baby wake up" i hear as i'm being shaken
i groan, rolling over. i almost whine at the discomfort i can feel as i move.
"baby, why are you crying?" i hear Zion ask
rubbing my eyes, i turn my lamp on. my eyes adjust, seeing Zion starring at me as he rubs my back in comfort.
"w-what are you doing here?" i ask
"i know i had no right to walk out on you earlier and i'm sorry" he says
my face drops in confusion a bit. i must of had another dream again. i was almost starting to hate sleep. almost.
"it's fine" i say sitting up
"why were you crying?" he asks moving me to where i'm sitting in his lap
"i had dream that you didn't want the baby and you left me" i lay my head against his shoulder
he sighs as he wraps his arms around me tightly. i can feel myself getting upset but soon stop as he runs his finger through my hair comfortingly.
"i'm never leaving you or our little girl. i love both of you way too much. i could and would never" he states kissing my head
he continues holding me as we sit in silence. once again, i feel a little thump in my belly.
"are you thumping me?" Zion questions
"that would be our child" i muse
his face is one of awe as brings his hand down to my stomach, feeling the little thumping against his hand.
"when did this start?" he asks
"a little bit after you left. we were all in the living room watching a Christmas movie. almost scared me half to death" i chuckle
he gives me a quick kiss on my cheek, moving his face down to my belly. he leaves small pecks along where the kicking starts.
"hey babygirl. i can't wait to meet you. you have no idea how excited i am to have you in my life" he coos
"already got you whipped i see" i giggle
he rolls his eyes playfully before leaving one last kiss to my belly. he turns off the light before laying beside me.
"i love you so much nova" he kisses my neck as his arm is thrown over my waist
"i love you more"

"good morning love" i hear behind me
i had been awake since before the sun had risen. i couldn't get comfortable and decided to just get up.
"good morning" i say as his arms wrap around me
"how long have you been up?" he asks grabbing his toothbrush
"a few hours. couldn't really sleep that well" i explain
"oh. well, i want you to get dressed because i'm taking both my girls out today" he smiles
"okay but you do realize we still don't know yet if it's a boy or a girl?" i muse
"i know. i hate the waiting but i have a feeling"
