safe with me. / c yelich. ✔️

28.

"I can't wait to see our baby." I told Christian as I smiled and wrapped my arms around him.

Christian smiled at me, kissing my head and wrapped his arms around me as well. "I still think it's crazy you have a little baby growing in you." He said, moving his hands to my stomach, a bump barely even started to show. "I can't wait for when you start showing, either. I think you'll look so cute." I giggled, shaking my head at him as he kept his hands on my stomach.

I knew Christian was going to be an amazing parent, something about him just was natural in his nurturing behavior. He just knew how to take care of me naturally and knew how to make me happy. It made me feel more safe and secure with him, and I truly admired him for stepping up and being such an amazing human.

"Are you still going to love me even when I blow up like a balloon?" I asked him, concern in my voice; I truly was scared of how I was going to look once our baby really started to grow and once I started to show. The thought of me getting swollen feet and having a huge stomach terrified me.

Christian looked at me confused and almost offended, "Why the hell would you think I wouldn't? Nads, you're a beautiful young woman, and just because you're pregnant and you're going to have a bigger stomach, doesn't mean I'm going to stop loving you. That's just crazy talk." He told me, wrapping his arms around me again. "You're always going to be beautiful to me, no matter what. And I'm going to make sure I remind you of your beauty whenever I get the chance." He said as he kissed the top of my head.

I smiled at him, feeling better that he felt that way. "That makes me really happy to hear, babe.." I replied, almost in a whisper as he had his hand on my cheek and pressed his lips against mine gently. I pulled back from the kiss, looking at him, "I really hope that if we have a boy that they have your curls, because that's probably one of my favorite aspects about you." I said with a giggle as I ran my fingers through his curls.

"I just hope no matter what gender the baby is, they're beautiful just like their momma."

"There they are, healthy and growing at a great rate." The tech said, joy in the tone of her voice. "Would you like to hear the heartbeat?" She asked, I looked over at Christian who nodded and smiled big. The baby's heartbeat was heard a couple moments later, causing tears to well up in my eyes.

Christian gently squeezed my hand, "That's our baby's heartbeat..." He said, kissing my hand and I could see he was tearing up as well.

"Baby, are you crying?" I asked, moving my hand to under his eye and wiped the tear that fell from his face.

"Just really happy, baby. No worries..." He said as he kissed my hand again.

The tech smiled at us, "Baby is healthy and doing amazing. Do you guys want to know the gender?" Christian nodded quickly but I shook my head, looking at the tech.

"I wanna wait. I know we're just finding out, but, I want to wait to hear." I replied, Christian looked at me. "If that's okay with you..."

"That's fine with me, just got excited hearing that we could find out." He laughed, squeezing my hand again. "Just happy you're healthy and the baby is healthy." I smiled at him and kissed him softly.

Christian pulled back and helped me sit up and fixed my shirt for me. I kissed his cheek and hopped off of the table, taking the pictures from the ultrasound that the tech had given us.

Once we got home, Christian grabbed my arm, pulling me near him and kissed me passionately. I kissed him back, snaking my arms around his neck as he backed me up into the wall. He pulled back and looked at me. "I am so happy, baby.." He said as he pecked my lips. "And you're so beautiful..."

I blushed, smiling as I kissed him again. He moved a hand to my waist, pulling me against him. He kissed me with more passion, and I could feel his hands start to wander. Christian moved his hands to my thighs, picking me up and held me against the wall, causing me to moan against his lips. Before I knew it, I felt him move away from the wall, still holding me and carried me to the bedroom before laying me on the bed and he hovered over me, starting to leave kisses down my neck.

We were soon interrupted by the sound of one of our phones going off, causing Christian to groan against my neck, and I could tell he was frustrated and wanting no distractions. I sat up and reached over, grabbing my phone and saw that my mom was calling me.

"Hi, momma." I answered, looking at Christian, running my fingers through his curls.

"Hi sunshine, you never called me after your appointment! How is the baby?" She asked, and I knew it was going to be a long conversation. Christian got up and walked out, obviously upset.

I sighed as I watched him walk away, "It was really good. Baby is healthy, they asked if we wanted to know the gender but I said not yet." I told her, leaning back on my elbows, "But I am healthy, baby is healthy, everything is good. Got to hear their heartbeat too.."

"Isn't that the greatest? Getting to hear the heartbeat for the first time is what always made me so emotional." My mom said and Christian walked back and laid next to me, sighing as he did so.

"Yeah, Christian and I both got a little emotional hearing it." I told her, looking at Christian as I put my hand on his arm and kissed his cheek lightly.

"Well, I'm happy you two are happy and that the baby is doing okay. I just wanted to call and check up on you. I love you very much and I miss you.."

"I miss you, momma. So bad. I love you.." I said before hanging up and looking over at Christian, "You okay, baby?" I asked him, getting his attention as he seemed to be in a daze.

"Yeah, baby. Fine." He was lying.

"You're lying to me. Tell me the truth.." I told him, moving to sit in front of him.

"Well at first I was irritated for being interrupted, but then when your mom called and I walked out, my mind just started racing. I just worry, I don't know. I don't want you and the baby to have something go wrong, or just, I don't know..." He said and I took his hands, kissing them gently.

"Baby, you have nothing to worry about, okay? Me and the baby are healthy! The doctor told us that." Christian nodded, giving my hands a gentle squeeze. "Everything is going to be okay."

And I was going to make sure of that.
