Early the next morning l wake up to the sounds of birds chirping outside the window. I feel Stef kissing my naked shoulders,
Baby did you sleep okay last night. She says to me, sweetheart l slept better than l did in a long time, just waking up in your arms made it ten times better Lena said. Woah the baby just kick, l stated. Stef put her hand on my stomach and she felt our little girl kicked, Stef kissed on the lips. Then she pulls me on top of her l stare into her hazel eyes
I love you Lena tells me. You know we have to get up before frankie comes storming in here
Yeah I know. Lena gets out of bed
She puts her robe on and head into the bathroom to take a shower. While lay in bed for a few minutes, just taking everything in. My family is safe and sound, times like these l miss my mom. We haven't spoke in years, finally l get up. Lena comes out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body, she has her hair up. Lena walks over to the dresser for some clean underwear and bra, she searching the closet for something to wear. She realizes
She can't fit into any of her clothes anymore, Lena can only fit a few things. Lena becomes irritated, Lena comes back over to the bed and sits down. Lena starts getting dress, l head in the bathroom and take myself a shower. Lena leaves the bedroom

Francesca is still asleep. I decided to go downstairs and start breakfast, l place the pans on top of the stove. I gather the ingredients for French toast
I reached down in my bag to get my medicine out, l drink me a glass of water to wash the pills down with. Then l put everything back in my bag, and finished making breakfast for my wife and daughter. When Stef enters the kitchen dressed and smelling good, her scent is intoxicating
instantly l feel horny all over again. Is this what happens to pregnant women, they wanna have sex all the time. Stef begins to set the table. Ten minutes later
Frankie comes in, and sits in the dining room She rubs her hazel eyes. Lena could tell Frankie was still Sleepy, from the flight the other day. Today they were going shopping, to get a few things
