"WOULD YOU LET ME, SEE BENEATH YOUR BEAUTIFUL?"

c h r i s t i a n

Something was up with Nadia; I wasn't sure on what, but she wasn't acting like herself. It had been a while since we even made love, and I didn't know what she was hiding. She was really good at faking a smile, though, and really good at faking her good mood. I've tried everything to get it out of her, but she just brushes it off like it's nothing.

I wanted to do something to make her feel beautiful and happy. I cleaned up around the apartment while she was with her sister shopping and having a family day and decided to have dinner cooked for her for when she got home. I couldn't wait to make dinner for three; That's the one thing I was most excited for. Sure, the nerves were with me at first, but I was ready to welcome a baby into the world. We still didn't know the gender, but, I think it was pretty obvious to know that I wanted a boy. Yes, he's going to play baseball as well; Gotta raise them to be the best just like their daddy.

When Nadia got home, I had a bouquet of white roses on the kitchen table with some of her favorite candies and dinner was set on the table. She walked into the kitchen and smiled over at me.

"What's all this?" She asked, walking up to me and I handed her the bouquet of flowers. "Did you do this for me? Baby..." Nadia leaned up and kissed me, I put a hand on her belly and kissed her back.

"I know you've been feeling a little down in the dumps, as much as you want to say you haven't been, I know you too well. So, I wanted to make dinner and have a nice night with my girl and treat her like the queen that she is." I told her, the cute smile never left her face.

Nadia set the flowers on the counter and hugged me, I kissed the top of her head. Her bump was starting to get bigger so it was becoming more difficult to pull her close to me. But, I got her as close to me as possible. "You didn't have to do this, Chris.." She smiled up at me, "Thank you so much.."

After dinner, I cleaned up the kitchen and Nadia insisted on helping, but I wouldn't allow her to. I walked in the bedroom to see my beautiful girlfriend changing into an oversized t-shirt. She was so god damn beautiful. I am such a lucky guy.

I walked up behind her, wrapping my arms around her, putting my hands on her belly. "You are so beautiful, did you know that?" I whispered to her, brushing hair over her shoulder so I could leave kisses on her neck.

Nadia pulled her shirt down after lotioning her belly. She turned around to face me and smiled at me as she ran her fingers through my hair. "I love you so much.." She said, not acknowledging my compliment.

"I love you too, gorgeous. And I love everything about you and everything that comes with carrying our child.." I whispered, kissing her deeply. "Can I show you?"

"You know that's never a question.." Nadia said, softly as I pulled her to the bed, laying her back and hovered over her as I kissed on her neck a little rougher than before, but definitely was letting her know how much I loved her.

"Oh my god, baby.." Nadia gasped, tangling her fingers in my hair.

Her moans are what drive me crazy, hearing my name come out of her mouth was pure ecstasy. I continued kissing on her body, letting my hands wander as I admired every inch of her. "I'm all yours," I whispered, leaving a mark on her breast.

"Please, babe, I want you.." She moaned, crying out in pure pleasure as I entered her. It was becoming more complicated to find a position that was comfy for the both of us, but missionary would have to do. It would still be enough for me to show my range of love.

"I'm so fucking in love with you, Nadia...Everything about you is so beautiful.." I said, kissing her softly as she came around me. It wasn't long until I finished as well.

After pulling out and cleaning her up, I moved and laid next to her, pulling her close to me. I placed my hand on her belly, feeling a kick and smiled as I kissed Nadia's cheek. She was asleep before me, which was expected. She grew tired fairly easy, but, I was content, I was happy, and in love.

The next morning I woke up with Nadia still in my arms as she slept peacefully. She was so fucking beautiful; feeling our baby kick against my hand again, I could tell someone was up and active, but allowed their momma to sleep.

I rubbed Nadia's belly as she slowly stirred awake, humming as she stretched out. "Good morning, baby.." She said quietly, moving her entire body to face me. "Did you sleep okay..?" She asked, running her fingers through my hair before giving me a kiss.

"I slept amazing, baby. I had you in my arms, and you barely even moved, and got to feel our little one kick around, and was very content." I told her as I kissed her forehead, "Did you sleep okay? No problems?"

Nadia shook her head at me, "Nope. I slept great, especially after last night, you always know the right ways to help me sleep through the night." She said, giggling quietly as I smiled at her and kept my hand on her belly. "But, they definitely recognize your voice, that's for sure...They start kicking like crazy when they hear you talk." I moved down a little, kissing her belly softly.

"As long as they aren't kicking too hard, I won't scold them." I said, laughing quietly as I kissed her belly a couple more times, the last time feeling a kick against my lips. "I guess that's their way of saying hello."

She smiled, sitting up, and grabbed her shirt from the side of the bed, slipping it over her head. "We have to start planning the baby shower and gender reveal party. How did you want to do that?" She asked me, I just kind of stared at her. I was shit at planning parties, don't ask me to be a party planner ever.

I shrugged, laughing as I got up and grabbed a pair of boxers, slipping them on. "I don't know. We have the gender result in the envelope in the bedroom in that box. Maybe we can like get inspiration from those Instagram videos or something that you're always sending me for ideas." I suggested to her, grabbing a pair of athletic shorts, slipping those on as well.

"Well, I definitely want it to be a cute party. And I want to invite people from back home. You can even invite some of your teammates from the Marlins." Nadia said, smiling at me, "I think that would be really nice for you and them; To catch up, and of course invite all the guys and our parents and siblings."

I nodded at her, "I just want things perfect for you, baby. That's all." I told her, getting back in bed with her.

"Baby, as long as I have you, I'm fine no matter what."
