Logan's POV-

A warm feeling.

It's warm even though it's been chilly for the past few days. The heat is on, sure. But why do I feel so warm right now?

I slowly open my eyes and adjust to the brightness of the room. Within milliseconds, a smile forms across my face as I see Kimberly's peaceful sleeping face as she cuddles up into me. Her hair is messy and is laid out all over the mattress and pillow. Some of it is in her face, just barely missing the very small amount of drool escaping from her lips.

I smile.

I can't help it.

Every morning I wake up like this. With Kimberly in my arms, feeling all warm inside and outside. Seeing her adorable sleeping face mixed along with her very very soft snoring.

God. She's perfect.

She's the first thing I see when I wake up. The first voice I get to hear everyday. She's the last thing I see before I fall asleep and her voice is the last voice I get to hear before I fall asleep with her in my arms.

I love it.

It's been a month since I came back from New York. Since I finalized everything there and left to stay here in Michigan with everyone else, especially Kimberly.

It's been over a month since Kimberly told me she's pregnant. She's almost 11 weeks now. She no longer gets morning sickness and isn't feeling as sore now. If anything, she's starting to eat more than usual.

Cravings.

Which is normal.

Also kind of weird too. Some of the stuff that she's craving is really... interesting. And really random.

But either way, it's still exciting. She's not exactly showing yet, but we both know that it'll be soon. At least that's what the doctor said the last time we went in for an appointment. I honestly can't wait until she's showing. In a way, it'll be like a reality check. Like I can be reassured that I'm not just dreaming all of this. That this is actually happening.

I smile even more as I gently reach over and move some of her hair out of her face. I pin it behind her ear. Just as I do so, her eyebrows twitch and her eyes flutter as they open. All I do is smile at her and cup her cheek with my hand and rub her cheekbone with my thumb.

"Good morning...I didn't mean to wake you up." I tell her softly. She shakes her head and gives me a small smile.

"It's fine. But good morning to you too." she tells me.

"Did you sleep alright last night?" I ask her. She nods.

"Yes. And I was so warm last night. You're really comfortable, you know?" she tells me as she moves forward to get closer to me.

"I guess so. I always find you clinging to me when I wake up everyday." I tell her. She hums.

For I don't know how long, we lie there, in our bed, just enjoying each other's presence. My hands find themselves on her stomach a couple of times. I even find myself talking to it a couple of times, which makes her laugh a bit.

God.

Even though I've been living with her for about a month now, I still can't get used to actually being with her all the time when she's done with work.

I haven't found myself a job yet. I just can't figure out what the hell I'm going to do that will allow me to have flexible hours so I can be there for Kimberly when she really needs me. But I'm trying to not have it get to me that much. I still have time to get some sort of job, and I still have plenty of money saved up. Way more to last all three of us comfortably for a while. But I still need to do something.
