I woke up in the pitch black. It was obviously still the middle of the night. My back was absolutely killing me and I feel like I haven't eaten in years. I really just wanted to cuddle with my fiancé too.

I rolled over to grab hold of Ashton, but he wasn't there. His side was cold and the blankets were still up. I hit my phone, seeing it was two am, and pushed myself out of bed to go find him.

I walked around the house then saw that the light was on in the basement. I walked down the stairs and as I got closer, I could hear light singing.

I entered the room and Ashton looked up from his computer with a smile,

"What are you doing love?" Ashton asked as I silently climbed on his lap and sat sideway, my head falling on his shoulder,

"I woke up and went to cuddle but you were gone" I mumbled,

"I'm sorry baby. I just can't sleep" he sighed, "Is anything else bothering you?" he asked, lightly adjusting me,

"My back hurts and I'm starving" I whined earning a laugh,

"Let me guess, you want Taco Bell" Ashton chuckled. Taco Bell has been my craving food. Ashton's had to go on a few midnight taco runs because that's what the baby wants,

"Go get in the car. I'll be right there" Ashton laughed, tapping my thigh to tell me to get up. I stood and kissed him then walked back upstairs and out to the garage, climbing in the passenger seat.

Ashton got in the drivers seat a second later, tossing a hoodie my direction. That's when I realized I was just in my sports bra and shorts. He then hung our masks up on the mirror and opened the garage, backing out.

Being the hormonal and clingy person I was feeling at the moment, I grabbed one of Ashton's hands from the wheel and held it in my lap, playing with his fingers.

Ashton pulled into the Taco Bell's 24 hour drive thru and pulled up to the speaker, rolling his window down,

"Welcome to Taco Bell. What can I get you?" The lady groaned,

"Yeah, can I get a chicken quesadilla and a large Baja Blast freeze. Then I also need two soft tacos and a regular Baja Blast freeze" Ashton spoke,

"Pull around" the girl spoke and Ashton pressed the gas lightly and pulled up to the window.

"Back again Ashton?" The girl laughed as she opened the window. I was confused,

"My fiancé is pregnant and this is the craving" Ashton chuckled and put his card in the machine, "She joined me today"

"Hi" the girl waved at me. I waved back as Ashton took his card back and slid it in his wallet then grabbed our food and putting it on my lap and setting the drinks in the cup holders,

"Bye Layla. See you in a couple days probably" Ashton laughed and drove off, parking in a parking spot so we could eat,

"It's weird you're on a first name basis with the drive thru girl" I laughed. Ashton let a low chuckle out before taking a bite of his taco,

"Is your food suitable for you?" Ashton laughed,

"As always" I nodded, "I love you"

"I love you too"

When we finished up, we put all our trash in the bag and Ashton ran it to the trash can by the door then drove us home.

It was about 3:45 am when we got into bed. Ashton laid behind me, my back flush against his chest, and his arm was over my waist, his hand lightly rubbing over the small baby bump that was growing everyday,

"Hey baby, have you thought about names yet?" Ashton whispered as he nuzzled his face into my neck,

"I mean of course. Every girl does. I've had my list since I was sixteen" I laughed,

"I don't even know what I like" he sighed,

"That's okay. I have some ideas. If you like them, we'll continue. If you don't, we will keeping thinking" I smiled and turned around to face him,

"But I think we should wait until we know what we're having before we get serious about the name" I told him,

"Sounds perfect" Ashton pecked my lips,

"Now that your hunger and my child's hunger are satisfied, let's try and get some sleep" Ashton laughed. I nodded and leaned my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes and letting myself fall asleep.
