We're Older Now

Chapter 13

"Xavier I don't know what to pack." Xavier laughs at my whining and walks to where I am say in front of the open wardrobe.

"Bring some comfortable clothes. Like tights, skirts, dresses and some of my jumpers or tops." I sigh and pack those things.

I go to pack some heels just incase we go out. Somewhere but Xavier stops me.

"There is no way you're wearing heels while you're pregnant. Put flats in." I sigh and do as he says.

I know it seems like he's being bossy, but he's just worried for my safety as well as our baby's safety. Xavier helps me up off the floor after I have finished packing and takes our suitcases to the cab that's waiting for us.

"Do you think they will be okay with me staying?" I smile at Xavier's nervousness. I lean in and kiss his lips.

"I already called mum, she said she's fine with it. She doesn't know about our progression of our relationship and she's also keeping the fact that we're visiting, a secret from dad." I say smiling.

Xavier nods his head and takes hold of my hand. I smile and peck his cheek softly. By the time we're on the plane, I'm finding it hard to keep my eyes open. Xavier smiles and wraps his arm around me so I can lean on his chest and sleep.

"Baby... we're here." I groan and open my eyes to see I'm in a taxi outside my parents house.

"How did I get off the plane?" I ask in a groggy voice.

"I carried you. Now, come on." I blush and get out of the car with him.

We walk to my parents front door. Janice answers the door and brings me into a hug. I laugh and hug her back. She turns to Xavier and smirks.

"I so knew you guys would go out." I roll my eyes as Xavier chuckles.

"Is mum and dad home?" I ask.

"Mum is but not dad. He's at work." I nod my head and walk to mum who's in the lounge room.

I smile and give her a hug. She pulls back grinning and puts a hand on my stomach. I guess she felt the bump. Even if it's the tiniest thing ever, mum always knows. I can never keep a secret from her. She looks down at the ring on my finger and her eyes become teary. I smile and kiss her cheek.

"I love you mum, but please don't cry." I say with a soft laugh.

She laughs to and walks over to Xavier, pulling him into a bone crushing hug. Xavier just smiles and hugs her back.

"Go put your things in your room while I make some lunch. Your dad should be home in a few hours." I nod my head and drag Xavier up the stairs and to my room as he carries the suitcases up the stairs.

"Wow, this bedroom is so cute." I blush with embarrassment as he looks at all my old posters of my teen years. Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Simon Baker and Leonardo De'capreo. I roll my eyes and show him where to put the bags.

"You know, you shouldn't make fun of me, I can always make you sleep in the guest room. Shouldn't mess with a pregnant woman." He chuckles and puts his hands up in surrender before wrapping them softly around my waist.

"I love you." I smile and kiss his lips softly.

"I love you too." I lead him to my bed and sit on the corner of it.

"What's this?" He asks as he picks up my old sketch book which was sticking out from under my bed slightly.

"I use to draw a lot. Before I moved that is. Majority of my drawings were of Janice, Jaxon and...you." I admit with a blush.
