Four years, it has been four years since the wedding. It was a beautiful wedding. Trevor and I's whole family were there. Uncle Eric gave me away, my parents were mad at first but they got over it after I gave my reason.
I haven't spoken to them since. They have made it clear that that was the closest they were going to get to us. They still don't approve, but that doesn't matter to me. I'm happy and that's what matters.
I feel someone leaning against the couch that I'm sitting on. I turn my head to look at who it is. I see Trevor looking over at me. He brings his hands to my swollen belly. "How are you feeling?" I ask me as he walks around the couch and pulls me onto his lap gently. "I would be feeling better if I wasn't on house arrest." I laugh laying my head on his shoulder. I feel his chest rumble from laughter under my head.
This last month I had really started to show. For most of the pregnancy I was working out, still instructing classes. You could say I was the most in shape pregnant lady there was. As my due date started getting closer I was told by my doctor that I needed to take it easy. That means no more working out and no more teaching classes. So I have been at home, writing and getting prepared for the baby.
"It's only a couple more weeks that's it, and then we will have our little Kol and you will be able to get back to teaching classes." he lets out a laugh as he kisses my forehead. I rub my belly feeling an overwhelming feeling of joy and happiness.
I feel Kol start to kick. I quickly grab Trevor's hand and bring it to my stomach. I see his face light up at the feeling. He looks like he is ready for our next chapter. I know he is happy to be a father, I can see him now holding his child while I look over his shoulder lovingly.I slowly start to close my eyes as I feel Trevor start to rub my stomach with his hands. I feel sleep start to take me over. I slowly drift off into sleep.
I fall asleep to love and happiness.
This is what life is about. It's about finding yourself and being true to who you are and what you love.
It's about growing and living in your dreams and achieving everything you set your mind to.
