I Never Saw You Coming

Chapter Twenty Nine

*Three Months Later*
Ed's POV
I awoke, and found that Taylor is not in my arms. I shielded the bright sunlight from my eyes as I rolled over, and found her looking at herself in the full length mirror, hands on her now much more visible baby bump.

"I'm fat." She said, running her hand over her belly again.

"No, you're not. You're pregnant, that's all." She shook her head, and I could tell this was the hormones talking. "Come here, love." Taylor took one last look in the mirror before walking over to my side of the bed and sitting down on it. I sat up and scooted next to her, tossing my arms around her waist and resting one hand on her belly. She rested her hands on top of mine, and the frustration that had been written like words on a page across her face slowly disappeared. "You're beautiful, every little piece, love, don't you know, you really are someone, ask anyone." I sang softly into her ear, and she smiled.

All of a sudden, her belly gave a slight flutter, and Taylor almost jumped out of her skin, before gasping and then breaking down in tears. "The baby moved, Ed, our baby moved!" She exclaimed, falling into me and crying. I held her close and grinned wildly as I rubbed her back. I had felt it on my hand, and I too was elated that our baby was moving for the first time. I kept my hand to her baby bump, and, a few moments later, it gave another little movement. Her breath caught again, and then she cried a little harder. "Can you feel it?" She asked, and I nodded excitedly. For a third time, it fluttered, and, for the a third time, Taylor's breath caught in excitement and surprise. I peppered the top of her head in small kisses.

I continued to clutch her close to me as I spoke. "That's our little baby in there, love, I..." I was at a loss for words. "I can't wait to meet him or her, in just about six months! We'll have our own little family in six months, darling." I kissed her head again, and she giggled and cried.

She leaned her head on my shoulder, and I moved my hands from her belly to the side of her legs to pull her closer to me. "Oh..." Taylor grabbed at my hand and moved it back to where it had been on her belly, rubbing my hand across it quickly. "You seem to calm the baby down a lot. Could you massage it for me?" She asked.

"Of course, love." I moved my hand carefully across her belly, and she relaxed slowly back onto the bed, shutting her eyes and letting a smile cross her face. I lifted her shirt and placed a kiss on her softly rumbling bump, and she giggled and smiled, before I returned to rubbing it. "Does that feel better?"

She nodded. "Yes, thank you. Our baby loves you, Ed." She murmured happily. I smiled too, and laid down next to my wife.

I leaned over and placed a kiss on her soft cheek. "I love you."

A/N: Sorry, this is sort of a filler chapter. It gets better though, thanks for reading! :)
