Her Forever and Always (F.F. Book 2)

20. Time

~~~

Logan's POV-

Wow.

Everything seems to be going by in a blur. It's not a bad thing, not even close. But I kind of wish things would slow down. Just enough so that I can still have time to completely process things and enjoy the feeling of expecting her arrival. Don't get me wrong, I am very excited to meet her. Extremely excited.

And her arrival just seems to be getting closer and closer by the second. There are times when it feels like it's so close, but at the same time, so far away. Right now, it seems like time has stopped. Kimberly's not working anymore because it was putting too much strain on her and so she's staying at home with me. I still work from time to time and even with that, most of the time, I can just do it at home. Perks of having basically your own schedule and being able to work at home.

The air has also gotten colder within the last few months. Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas felt like they went by too quickly. In a good way, that is. It was around that time when Ellie thought that it would be a nice idea if she organized a baby shower for Kim. That was nice too. And let's just say that Kimberly and I have way more than enough clothes and toys and other things now.

If you ask me, it finally feels like we're really about to start our own family.

"Logan...can you get me some pickles?" Kimberly asks me. I look over my shoulder and smile at her.

"Yeah, of course. I'll be right back." I tell her.

Immediately, I hop off of our bed and run down the stairs to get to the fridge. Kim's developed an interesting craving for pickles recently. Gross if you ask me, but whatever makes her happy and satisfied with her cravings, makes me happy.

"How can you honestly stand eating those all the time?" I ask her, joking around as I hand her the new jar. She shrugs.

"Don't ask me. What this baby wants, it wants it. No matter what, it seems like. I never really thought that I would ever love pickles this much, but I guess there's a first for everything." she tells me as she smiles and starts to eat the jar of pickles. I shake my head.

"Aren't you supposed to be going out with Ellie soon?" I ask her as I grab my laptop again and start to effortlessly type.

"Not today. Tomorrow...Are you trying to get ride of me?" I hear her ask me, with a sad tone of voice. It makes me quickly look over towards her with concern and jump when I see her on the verge of crying.

"Babe...what are you talking about? Of course I wouldn't try to get rid of you. I love you Kim." I try telling her. She only sniffles and proceeds to start crying.

"Am I just in the way now? Just a useless waste of space?" she asks me as she starts to cry harder. I bite back my own forming tears.

"No, Kim. I don't feel like that at all. I love you, Kimberly. Please stop crying." I try to reason with her. She shakes her head.

"I don't believe you. Is it because I eat pickles all the time?" she asks me. I shake my head even more.

"No! Not at all. It's fine. It doesn't matter to me about what you eat. As long as you're happy, I'm happy." I try to reach through her.

After the words leave me, I wrap my arms around her to try to get her to calm down. This is the second time she's gotten all emotional at random times. I have no idea why this is even happening. Why she's so emotional, that is. Her hormones running all over the place? Perhaps. But still, it's so weird.

I finally start to relax once I feel her ease up. When I pull away, I feel her shaking again. I move quickly to pull back again, preparing to see her crying again. But instead...she's laughing. Laughing hard.
