Kenny's POV:
I lay awake watching her sleep, I must be the luckiest man alive, not only do I have the love of my life as my wife, but now we're expecting.
After so many years who'd have thought, I'd finally be a father, and this precious angel in my arms is going to be the best mother in the world, that I have no doubt of.
I smile at the mumbles coming from my wife, snapping me out of my thoughts. I adjust our
position slightly so I could look at her better, though she only groaned and inched closer burying her little head into the crook of my neck. I couldn't help but release a small chuckle at her, she was too cute for words, I couldn't imagine life without her. Not only is she my singing partner, she's my best friend, my wife, the mother of my child, she's the beating of my heart and without her, my heart would stop. This precious woman has no idea just how much she means to me, how much they both mean to me.

Dolly begins to stir, she could feel the warmth of a body beneath her, arms around her, and something stubbly against her face, she opens her eyes only to find Kenny's stubbly beard, she's pushed her head directly between the man's face and neck.
The blonde mumbles something inaudible as she pushes Kenny's face away, before repositioning herself.
"Gee I love you too." Kenny mumbles earning a chuckle from the woman who's petite hands make him look at her.
"Your beard was in my face."
"And who's fault was that?" Kenny arches his brow, the woman giggles placing a soft kiss against his lips.
"Good mornin' ." She whispers rubbing her nose against his.
The man smiles in response, carefully tightening his grip around the woman's waist.
"Good mornin' angel." He replies placing a soft little kiss on her lips.
Just at that moment Dolly quickly got out of his embrace and bolted straight to the bathroom, Kenny not far behind. He holds up her hair, rubbing little patterns on her back in attempt of comfort. Once Dolly finished she sighed sitting back to look at the man who smiled slightly offering her a cloth.
"I think a shower would be better." The petite blonde smiles taking the cloth and wiping her mouth.
"I think a bath would be safer." Kenny walks towards the tub. Dolly furrows her brows as she comes up behind the man.
"What's wrong with the shower?" She places her hands on her hips, arching her brow, waiting for his response.
"Because I don't want you to slip and hurt yourself or our little baby." The man smiles lowering his head to place a miss on Dolly's stomach, who's cheeks turn redder than her nails. The man grins, because a blushing Dolly was a rare sight.
"You're Blushing." Kenny looks at the adorable cheeks of his wife who in return hits his shoulder.
"I am not!"
"But you are, look at those little pink cheeks." He smiles placing both hands either side of his wife's face.
"I don't blush." Dolly mumbles less clear due to him squashing her cheeks together.
Kenny chuckles leaning forward to place a kiss on her forehead, then her little nose, and lastly her lips.
***
Dolly sat in the tub, and Kenny insisted he bathe with her. She leaned her back against his chest closing her eyes, enjoying the attention and care provided by her husband. Kenny began humming softly as he gently washed his wife with the cloth, placing little kisses in her hair or on her shoulder every now and then.
"Have I ever told you I love you?" Dolly whispers, smile forming on her lips.
"Not this mornin' no." He responds running the cloth along her arm.
"Well I love ya." The man smiles bringing his lips to Dolly's smith ivory skin of her shoulder, placing a tender kiss upon it.
"And I love you to baby, from here, to the moon and back." He nudges his head into the crook of the woman's neck earning a giggle.
"Ya know, that was my line." She nudges the man in the side earning a chuckle.
"Not anymore." He smirks.

After the pair had a bath and got dressed for the day, Dolly had decided upon staying in her slippers mean as there wasn't any particular plans for today other than taking care of the animals, which really didn't acquire anything fancy, and it certainly didn't acquire heels.
The woman hums to the radio as she prepares herself and Kenny some breakfast, Dolly having a craving for something very sweet like pancakes covered in chocolate sauce.
Oh yes, that did sound delicious. The blond licks her lips just at the thought. She rummages through the fridge and cupboards in search of what she needs, until remembering the plates were in the top shelf, the top shelf which due to her short arse can not reach. The woman huffs, this meant she'd have to go ask Kenny, because he made it quite clear he didn't want her climbing on things to get anything down.
Kenny sat looking over something's when out of the corner of his eye he caught Dolly lingering by the kitchen doorway. He looks up arching his brows her in question. When Dolly shuffled her feet and looked all defeated he couldn't hide his grin, he knew exactly what was wrong.
"Need some help?" The woman nods.
"Can't reach the top shelf?" The blonde shakes her head. Kenny smirks.
"Tell you what, I'll help you if I can have a kiss first." Dolly smiles moving towards the man and sitting upon his lap.
"Okay." She wrapped her arms around his neck, as he did the same with his, but around her waist.
Dolly leans forward bringing their lips together for the fourth time that morning, not that either one complained.
"So what are we having?" He meets her eyes, a smile on his lips.
"Pancakes with chocolate." Dolly grins
"What, for breakfast?" He furrows her brows, but the girl nods.
"Uh huh, that's what I fancy."
"Pancakes and chocolate it is then." He smiles picking the giggling blonde up and makes his way to the kitchen with her in his arms.
Once breakfast was out of the way, Dolly slipped into flat shoes and accompanied Kenny to take care of the animals, though he did insist she wait in the truck, but she never was one to do what she was told.
"Mean as we're here, shall we finish painting the barn?" Dolly tan her hands along the unfinished paintwork.
"Uh no, I don't want you around the fumes, we've already had this discussion."
Dolly rolls her eyes at the man, deciding she'd go check the chickens.
"Where ya goin' ?"
"To check the chickens, never know might have a mama in there now." Dolly grins happily making her way over to the chicken pen.
Kenny chuckles to himself as he returns to his own job, that woman just could no keep still for two minutes. She was constantly interfering or doing something she really shouldn't be doing, and that's one of the reasons he loved her, though at times it was frustrating, especially when her own safety was involved.
Kenny wipes the sweat from his head, looking up to see where his mischief wife had gone.
The man sighs as he failed to see her, why couldn't she just stay within sight range. The man stops what he was doing and went on the hunt to find one Dolly Rogers.
The man couldn't contain his smile as he saw her sat on the ground with the chicks surrounding her, she even had the hens eating out of her hands whilst the little ones pecked at her clothes, one was somehow on her head, and the woman had the biggest smile on her lips as she actually spoke to the chickens.
Oh yes, there was absolutely no doubt in his mind, this precious woman was going to be the greatest mother in the world.
