Chapter 9

Sorry! Late update! And super short chapter so fair warning. Enjoy!

Liam's POV

"Stay."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure." She said, and then she pulled me into our old room.

I had a million questions. What does this mean? Are we back together? Are we dating? Are we going to get remarried? Part of me knew that this wasn't going to be everything I wanted. There were still major issues we hadn't talked through. I couldn't even bring up marriage without her flinching, but she pulled me into the bed, and wrapped my arm around her belly, and I let it all go.

I felt at home, no unanswered questions could change this moment.

And the next morning I decided not to let those questions bother me, either.

I woke up wrapped around the love of my life.

That's all that really mattered, right?

Whether we were married or engaged or starting this whole thing over from scratch, I loved her, and she loved me, and that was the most important thing.

I slipped out of the room quietly, but from the way she was snoring I doubt I could have woken her anyway.

Yesterday's surprise was great, but I never thought it would end the way it did.

Thus, today's surprise would need some extra work.

Steffy was supposed to be at work to give me enough time to set up, but considering it was almost 11 AM, she was still snoring, and Ridge had been pushing her to take some time off for some time now, it put a snag in my plans.

More specifically, the men at the door carrying large bouquets of white roses and huge, pink helium filled balloons did.

As they carried in the massive wrapped boxes inside, feet stomping heavily on the floors, I could only stand guard at our bedroom door, and hope she didn't wake up.

Snag #2 in the impromptu baby shower plan; Steffy's lack of female friends.

She and Hope were definitely a no go. Brooke was even worse. Ivy was in Australia, and they had issues that were beyond comprehension. Pam was great, her lemon bars were stacked beautifully on the dinner table, but one single person would make this look like a rather sad affair.

I suppose I could invite Ridge, Thorne, Eric, and Wyatt. Steffy had always been more of a tomboy anyway.

But selfishly, I wanted it to just be me and her because I had missed out on so much and now that I had her back, had them back, I didn't want to share.

Noise coming from the bedroom, had me quickly ushering the delivery guys out. I stood at my post in front of the door by the time she could open it.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"Surprise." I said.

"What is all this?"

"It's your baby shower, sort of. I thought with all the drama that has happened in this family recently it might be better and less stressful if it was just you and me, but all the gifts are from everybody, and I'll play the chocolate diaper and swaddling games and whatever else with you."

Tears filled her eyes. "Liam, this is—"

"If it's too much, we can just have a chill day, eating too much junk food, opening presents and watching Bob Hope. Maybe we can cha cha cha."

"It's perfect." She whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Yes." She hugged me. "I love it. I love you."

"I love you, too." I kissed her. "Let's get started."

A/N: Sorry guys. I kinda fell of the map and this chapter is pretty short. I just wanted to give you guys a little something, but Writers block! Help me out. I know how I'm going to end this story already, but I feel like maybe they need a little bit more fluffy moments because everything has been so dark, except I'm blanking on ideas, so if you really like this story, and have a cute prompt that you want me to write in, just review and let me know and I'll try to keep updating. Thanks!
