It had been a few weeks since Layla came back to the stage. Things were starting to calm down and people were beginning to get used to her being around. Usually you could find her instructing in one of the practice rooms. Today however, she had gone home early, having felt a little off.

Layla and Leon, for the time being, were staying in Leon's home. Layla felt it was more comfortable than the big mansion she grew up in. Besides it feeling more cozy, she liked that everything was on one level and easy to access without having to go up and down stairs. It would come in handy in her later trimesters.

Speaking of which, her belly was beginning to look a little full. It wasn't as if one could assume she was pregnant just yet. Only a little bit of a bump. But she was starting to show.

With nothing but a pair of black yoga pants and a white bra on, Layla stood in front of the tall mirror on the bedroom wall. She lightly stroked her stomach as she looked at it in the mirror. She could feel the bump herself, but it still wasn't that noticeable. She knew people wouldn't be able to tell yet, but they would soon. The thought made her sigh a little.

The public could be harsh at times. Who knows how they'd handle it? Though she supposed it wasn't an issue for the moment.

In all honesty, she couldn't wait until her later stages. She was both scared and excited. She wanted to know what it would feel like when the baby started kicking, when people would want to feel and listen to her stomach. Though, she supposed it would get annoying, especially with the kind of crowd she called her friends.

She rolled her eyes a little at the thought.

With a sigh she turned around and situated herself on her side on the bed. She began flipping through a magazine she had bought. It featured things mostly for pregnant women.

Her eyes ran over the little tips and tricks listed in the articles. She wasn't too interested in those. She would rather take her advice from a doctor.

She stopped on a page advertising maternity clothes. She scoffed lightly at some of the more 'sexy' things you could buy. Even in the later stages of pregnancy there were types of lingerie available.

'honestly, who in their right mind wants to have sex with that?'

She was brought out of her musings by a soft kiss on her shoulder. She slowly turned her head to look at Leon, who was seating himself on the bed behind her. Rolling over, she propped herself up on her elbow again and let him kiss her on the lips before he spoke.

"What is it that has your eyes if not me?" He kissed her neck after rumbling this out in a sensual voice.

Layla hummed a bit but answered casually while handing him the magazine "Just some maternity clothes"

Leon stopped kissing her to take the magazine and peer at it.

"Honestly" Layla began "I don't get why there would be lingerie for pregnant women. It just doesn't make sense to me"

Leon smirked at her and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Oh, I don't know... I still think you are extremely attractive" He rumbled as he pulled her in for a passionate kiss.

Layla blushed slightly, but let him do as he pleased. She lightly moaned as his tongue grazed her own, and her hands came up to his neck. Just as things were getting heated Layla broke away and smirked at him.

"Oh really?" She asked "So even when my belly becomes the size of the state you'll still want to see me doing things like this?"

Layla got up and started dancing in a sultry yet kinky way. Leon laughed at her under his breath as she swayed her hips sexily and walked backwards. When she jumped up and ran over to the dresser he gave her a confused look, though he couldn't help but laugh when he realized what she was doing.

She took out her ipod and put it on the doc, proceeding to play 'Hey Sexy Lady' by: Shaggy. Once the song was on she began her dance again. Slowly swaying her hips and dancing in an erotic manner.

Leon got up and walked slowly towards her. Layla laughed as he gently pulled her against him and began to kiss her neck again.

"Yes" He murmured "Only you"

Layla squirmed a little under his touch, but the managed to break free and wag her behind at him.

"Then come it" She played, lowering her eyes at him and smirking.

Leon tried, but each time Layla would just escape him. She really did make for an appealing sight, even with the slight bump. As she carefully maneuvered her way throughout the room, he caught up to her and spun her around by the wrist, gently pulling her to his chest and caressing her tummy.

Layla smiled at his care, but she wasn't done playing yet. She brought her leg up to wrap around his leg and leaned forward until he was laying on the bed with her on top of him. Slowly she moved her hips around in circles, just grazing his manhood but not really grinding him.

Leon groaned "If you are not into doing it while you are pregnant I suggest you stop"

Layla giggled and gave him a coy look.

"Fine... I'll stop"

She leaned forward gradually and softly kissed his lips. Letting herself slide onto her side she disconnected from the kiss and lay beside him. His arm around her back felt nice, but what felt nicer was the way he sensually rubbed her stomach.

"Soon" He murmured lowly "We will be able to feel our little one"

Layla nodded and closed her eyes "And soon after that we'll be able to hold them"

They laid there until Leon started chuckling and Layla gave him an odd look.

"I was just thinking" He started "About Sora and May's disappointed reactions when you told them you didn't want to know what the gender was"

Layla began to laugh lightly.

"Well they'll just have to deal with it... I like surprises"

"Surprises like my attraction to you in the first place?"

Layla laughed a little more and nodded.

"Yes"

Leon held her a little tighter.

"Then, you will like the other surprise I have for you"

Layla opened her eyes and got up a little to look down at him in shock.

"What?"

Leon propped himself up on an elbow to look her in the eyes seriously. His eyes glowed with a dim light, staring back into hers which shone brilliantly. Her expression was both shocked and curious, his was serious but soft.

"You have already agreed to marry me, yes?" He asked, as if with caution.

Layla nodded and gave a small yes in return. Leon then slipped his hand into his pocket, his expression becoming more easy with her confirmation. He spoke as he pulled a small object out of his pocket and held it up for her to see.

"I figured, since the baby will take up most of our money once they are born, that I would get this now"

A ring of gold and diamond sparkled in the dim light of the room, reflecting elegantly in Layla's sapphire eyes. Her mouth hung ajar, words wouldn't come out. She really hadn't been expecting this. Hadn't they decided this would be done after the baby's birth?

As if reading her mind, Leon carried on "I still plan on postponing the wedding until we are absolutely ready. But would it not be nice to be properly engaged? Even if only for the child's sake?"

Layla nodded slowly, her lip slightly quivering. A small tear rolled down her cheek and she went to wipe it. With a shaky hand she took the ring from his fingers and slipped it onto her left ring finger.

"What will people think though? This all happening so fast" She whispered as he held her to his chest.

"It does not matter. All that matters is our happy family" He murmured into her hair.

family

The word made her happy.

Yes.

They were a family now.
