I sat out there, in the veranda of our home. At last, all the packing is done. That tired me a lot. It seems like I'm always tired these day anyway. Another thing to add in the list of Perks of being pregnant.
Even though I'm not even doing much work at all, I feel tired and beat. Mike did it all though. He did all the lifting and the moving of stuff. He is awesome indeed.
My lips quirk up as a smile teases my lips. He's been very protective. I mean, I'm pregnant I know but I'm not paralyzed, I can do things some other things by myself too but he doesn't want to let me work. I think I'm getting fat already.
That reminds me, I need to call my trainer. She said she got some good work-outs for pregnant women. Good, cause I don't want to have a hard time going back in shape after pregnancy. That would be just hard.
I wrap my blanket tighter around me as I read though the contract. The paparazzi has gone crazy. Mike really is a big thing around here in Hollywood. Well maybe because he has done a lot of shows around here which made him really famous and the influence of WWE of course.
I remember our wedding. After we announced that we are engaged, there were a lot of articles and tabloids which isn't quite accurate.
'Miz marries first girlfriend after a long time relationship with Maryse and when we say long, we mean LONG. Was the Awesome One snooping around that caused the break-up?'
That was the article that hurts the most. I memorized it after reading it over and over again. Of course, we didn't date before we got married because we already know how we feel about each other. We spent a lot of time together before he was even with Maryse. It hurts how people say things based on what they see with the naked eye.
I sighed letting all the steam off. Why am I even thinking about this? It was all done. He's mine now. No matter what people might say, he's mine and I love him and I know that he loves me too.
"What are you doing out here?" I looked up and Mike was standing right in front of me. How long has he been there?
"Nothing, just reading this." I hold up the copy of a contract sent by Us Weekly.
I have been reading the contract all day since it showed up in mail. I forgot to tell Mike. They want to have a photoshoot of me, Mike, and the babies after they're born. They want to be the first one. How did they even know? They shouldn't be called paparazzis they should be called stalkers.
"What's that?" he said handing me a cup of a steaming tea and setting his own on the table before us. I really need caffeine but I don't think that it's good for the babies.
He takes it and scans it. He sits down beside me on the two sitter lounger.
"How did they know?" he asked frowning. I know that he's annoyed.
"I don't know." I shrugged. I reached out to touch the space between his eyebrows. "Stop frowning, it makes you look old." I said trying to lighten his mood.
He smiles.
"You really know what to say at the right times." He leans over and kisses my cheek
I know he doesn't want the babies to experience papparzzis and all but this is the life we live, so we might as well deal with it.
"So, shall we do this?" I waved the paper around. It says a great sum of money and we might need that.
"I don't know." He rubs the back of his head. "Depends if you want to." He shrugs.
So it begins. The wife decides everything for the couple. I laughed.
"What's so funny?" he frowns as he tucks a stray hair behind my ear
"Nothing." I try to wave him off. "When are we going to tell everyone?" I asked
"I don't know." He said. "I don't want people to fuss over our babies." He puts a protective hand over my belly. "You don't want that either." He says talking to my abdomen. He's talking to our babies! He leans down and kisses my stomach.
I fondly watch him as he presses his ear on my stomach rubbing it gently. I played with his hair smiling down at him. He's much more ready to be a parent than me who's gonna bring these little people in this world. The thought still scares me but I have to face it. Face this. I love Mike and of course I love these babies.
"Can you believe that there are two little people in there?" I said
He looks up and smiles at me.
"No but I'm excited. I think they will be really pretty like their mom." He said rubbing my cheek with the back of his hand.
"And they will be awesome like their dad." I smiled shyly at him.
"Yes, of course they will." He says smugly and I let out a laugh. Some things just don't change. Mike is still the cocky son of a bitch who I love.
I snuggle closer to his side and laid my head on his shoulder. I inhaled his scent and he smells mighty fine. He puts an arm around me.
"I think we should design the nursery." I murmured.
As we were packing the whole afternoon, we talked about what we should do about the rooms. We have seven rooms. Yes, this house is massive. Thank God, my savings and Mike's savings was more than enough for this place. We have seven rooms each with own bathroom. We thought that we should make one a nursery.
"Yes, when do you wanna start?" he says
"Well, as early as now cause I don't think I can move around when the date is near." I said rubbing my stomach gently. Mike looks at my hand while I was rubbing and smile.
"Okay, do you wanna start tomorrow? We could buy some stuff." He said kissing my hair
I nodded.
We just sat there in the comfort of our own home and stared out our spacious backyard. I wonder if Mike already contacted our landscaper.
This is it. We're building a family and very much in love.
After five months of marriage, it's just now that I actually felt the family life.
