Lost In You

Chapter 47

Gabby's POV

Don't forget my food! What's taking you so long I looked at Reagan's text and shook my head. She's been obsessed with burgers for the past three months and it was as exhausting as it was hilarious. So here I was at 2 in the morning driving to get her a burger and some fries. She's 8 months pregnant and she could barely move. Her belly was so big I'm surprised she can do anything at all. Her feet were swollen and I was more than happy to massage them every night for her. It was July and she was due next month on August 29th.

Babe! I laughed and drove back home still not answering any of her text messages. When I walked in she was sitting on the couch with Kenna who was on the phone with Stephanie. They've been messing around for the past few months, but they were both lying about it. Stephanie kept telling me there was nothing going on between them, and It was pissing me off. We've been friends for so long, and she's never lied to me about things like that, but I didn't want to push and honestly they could only hide it for so long. Sooner or later she'd have to come clean. Kenna looked at me and mouthed 'thank you Jesus'. She walked in her room and I handed Reagan the food. She took a bite and moaned out loud making me laugh.

"You have no idea how much I love you right now." she said with a mouth full of food. I sat next to her and watched until I felt my stomach growling. I reached over to grab a fry, and I felt her slap my hand away.

"Um what're you doing?" she asked looking at me like I had two heads.

"Um getting some fries..." I went to grab some and she slapped my hands away again.

"You didn't get you anything?" she said and I looked at her in disbelief.

"You're really not gonna share?" I started laughing as I watched her struggle to get off the couch with all the food in her arms.

"Babe come on." I said, still laughing. She finally got up and slowly made her way into the kitchen. I got up and followed her thinking she was going to put some in a bowl for me. Instead she hurried up and stuffed the rest of the fries in her mouth and I bursted out laughing.

"Oh my god you are so selfish." I laughed and tried to grab the last fry and she shoved it in her mouth and not saying anything. I tried to hold in my laugh as she stood there and struggled to chew everything she had in her mouth.

"This was so good, you really should've gotten some for you." she said opening the fridge and grabbing a water bottle. I stood there staring at her. She ate all the food and didn't even offer me any.

"I'm not getting you anything from the Waffle House tomorrow." I said shrugging and she looked at me shockingly.

"You wouldn't dare." she said slowly. That was her favorite place to eat and honestly she would probably kill me if i really went there and didn't get her anything. After drinking her water she made her way back to the living room and laid down. 20 minutes later, and she was fast asleep. I sat there to her and watched her snore.

Have you ever loved somebody so much that it hurts to simply think about them not being in your life? Since the moment I laid eyes on her I knew she had my heart. One night with her and I couldn't get her out of my head. Back in High school I spent my time flirting and messing around with different girls. The moment they started to catch feelings for me I would go find someone else. I hated the idea of being attached to somebody and yet here I was with the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. She was beautiful and kind. It melts my heart how hard she tried to approve. The effort she put into making me feel that I Was special to her. Making me feel that she really was in love with me and no one would ever change that.

 The day she quit her job was the most amazing and confusing day of my life. She woke up the next day and stayed in bed with me. She made me feel valued and appreciated. She was about to have my kids and I couldn't be happier. It took me a long time to get over the fact that this baby was Robert's kid, but every time I start to overthink, Reagan would be right there reassuring me that he's nothing but a sperm donor. She reassured me that the baby was ours and there was nothing anybody could do about it. She's going to put my name on the birth certificate and truly made me feel that when she gives birth, this baby will be mine as much as it's hers. We found out that she's having a boy and we were able to finish the nursery in no time. The whole room was full of baby clothes and everything else that he's going to need. She wanted to name him Gabriel after me and he would have my last name. 

With Kenna's help she was able to finalize her divorce with Robert and after weeks of convincing me she decided to take my last name. I told her she didn't have to do that but she said no matter what happens to us, her heart will always be mine and she wanted my last name. We've talked about marriage and I know it's something we both wanted, but we agreed that there was no rush and we both needed to take time and just love each other and keep learning about each other. The baby will be named Gabriel Carter and she will be Reagan Carter. Excited wouldn't even begin to cover how I felt about having a baby and starting a family to raise. I was taking time to write and I realized it's something that I actually loved doing. Kenna wanted us to stay at the house with her since it was huge and we were all family, so we decided to sell Reagan's old house and moved everything in here. We added an in ground pool out back and honestly it was the perfect palace for me and my family.
