Falling for the Hothead!- Paul Lahote (Completed)

The Battle

🤬Inappropriate language in this chapter!🤬

It is 2 am in the morning that the newborn army is to arrive, and I can't sleep standing at our bedroom window that looks out the forest. Where were they at right now? I watch as Paul rolls over moving his hand to find me. When he doesn't find me he sits up and looks around the room almost in a panic state. "Babe!? What are you doing out of bed?" He questions me with concern in his voice.

"Sorry my wolf! I couldn't sleep too much going on, I couldn't turn my brain off." I say walking over to the bed.

"Come here and lay with me. Please!" He says as I crawl back into bed. He pulled me to him so that my head was on his chest with one arm around my shoulders and the other resting on our unborn child rubbing circles. "Try to sleep! Please! You both need it" He says rubbing my stomach. "You too little man! Sleep so mommy can sleep!" He says rubbing my stomach as our son kicks his hand. "Already not listening to your father!" He says as we both laugh!

"Just like his father!" I say as Paul looks at me confused before he scoffs at me. "Does what he wants when he wants." I say with a laugh as Paul scoffs again at me. "I love you Paul! Promise me you will come home to us. I won't make it. If you aren't here!" I say kissing up his chest to his lips.

"I love you Aleera! More than you will ever know! And I will come home to both of you. You have my word on that." He says Kissing my head. "Now sleep! You smell so good!" He says taking a deep breath before his eyes close. Breathing in his scent as I close my eyes and fall into an uneasy sleep wrapped in my love's arms.

5am

I wake up to the sound of Paul on the phone. He is no longer in bed, but standing at the window looking outside just as I did a few hours ago. "Yeah! Sam, we'll be over soon!" He says as he turns to look at me, giving me a smile. "Ok! Sam see you in a few!" He says before hanging up the phone.

"Morning..." I say with sadness to my voice.

"Morning! Baby!" He says walking over to me and claiming back into bed. "Aleera!.." He says looking down at my engagement ring. "When this battle is over I want us to get married... Like tomorrow. I don't want to wait to call you my wife anymore. Are you ok with that?" He says/asks looking at me right in the eyes. I give him a smile and Kiss him with everything I have at 5 in the morning. It wasn't much.

"I would love that!" I say cupping his face and kissing him again.

"Good!! We need to get ready... Emily needs help cooking and I guess Kim is no help this early in the morning!" He says with a chuckle walking to the closet. I move to get dressed and grab a few things to take to Emily's house for the day!
