Tadaaa…new chapter is up, ladies and gentlemen :)

Just a few words: As I use Roman Reigns as Roman's "real name", his parents are automatically Mr and Mrs Reigns. Just so you know ;-)

Thanks to my lovely readers for the reviews and love.

Enjoy & review :)

Chapter 9: Hi there, cookie!

A lot had happened in the last two and a half months. Karo was five months pregnant now and things between she and Roman couldn't have been better. Seth had tried to keep his distance without making it too obvious that he was trying to avoid being around both of them together. He wasn't sure if he was over her already, but he was positive he was on a good way. Watching her baby bump grow more and more with each week passing by, he just knew that it didn't make sense to fight for her love. She didn't love him. She loved Roman. And he had to accept it.

At the beginning he'd had a hard time suppressing his feelings. As Karo had promised, they had spent more alone time with each other. Just lying in each other's arms and listening to music. Just like they always had. But for him it had been different. He'd more than once wanted to just press his lips onto hers, to touch her, to feel her, to taste her. But he was smart enough not to try anything. He knew that it would not only ruin his friendship with her but with Roman as well. He loved his friends. He was nothing without them. As much as it hurt him, he finally understood that he wasn't the man Karolina wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

About a month ago, Karo and Roman finally found a house in Pensacola, just a few minutes away from his parents' home. It was a beautiful place with enough space for all the babies Roman's mother expected his son and fiancée to have. What she loved most about the house was the view over the sea. She loved the ocean and being able to wake up every morning to the sounds of the water hitting the shore was more than she could ask for.

Karolina watched her boys intently as they were painting her baby's room. Together with Roman she had decided to paint it in a light yellow colour as they still didn't know if they would have a boy or a girl.

"I don't know, but I don't like it," she said and ran a shaky hand through her hair.

Although she was finally able to somehow control her hormones, it didn't stop her from changing her mind within a matter of minutes.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Roman said, an annoyed expression on his face.

Together with Dean and Seth he had already painted most of the room and having her decide that she didn't like the colour now was making him lose his nerves.

"I'm sorry, but...it just looks...uhm...awful," she said, looking at him unsure and biting her bottom lip nervously.

Roman just sighed heavily and looked at his two friends, silently begging them to say something before he would lose his mind.

"Princess, we've been painting that fucking room for more than an hour now. Don't freaking tell me that you don't like it or I'm gonna spank your ass," Dean said, slowly making his way over to her with the paint brush in his hand.

She started giggling when she realized what he was about to do and she wanted to get away from him as soon as she could but Dean was a lot faster. And stronger, of course.

"Ahh, don't do that...stop it...help me, Roman," she shrieked, looking at her fiancé expectantly but with a huge smile on her face.

Roman just looked at Seth who simply nodded his head, both of them smirking at each other and dipping the paint brush into the yellow colour before making their way over to Karolina who was held by Dean, not able to move.

"Boys, stop it...I swear to god...ahhh," she yelped when all three of them started painting her face and arms with the slobbery colour, all of them laughing hysterically.

"Now tell us again that you don't like the colour, pretty girl," Seth said and started tickling her sides, like he had always done.

He would lie if he said it was fine for him to touch her without having feelings for her but he tried his best to just see her as the best friend that she was.

"Okay okay...fine...I like the colour...it's beautiful. Just stop now, please," she pleaded, trying to catch her breath after laughing heartily with her lover and best friends.

When Dean and Seth let go of her, Roman kneeled down in front of Karo and softly knocked on her tummy, trying to get their baby's attention.

"Hey cookie, it's me, daddy. Look, your mom is freaking out a little because of your room, but trust me when I say it looks awesome. You'll love it. Oh, and something else. Could you please finally give us a sign that you're alive other than your heartbeat on the ultrasonic device? I'm getting a little impatient here," he said and kissed her baby bump gently.

Karo cupped his cheek with her hand after he stood up again, standing on her tiptoes and placing a sweet kiss on his lips. Ever since knowing that she was pregnant he started talking to their baby on a daily basis and liked to call it 'cookie'. It made Karo's heart melt how much he tried to let their baby know that he loved it.

He was the best man a woman could ask for. Whenever she craved for something, he would get up and get it for her. Even in the middle of the night. He would give her massages wherever her body hurt and he anticipated her every wish.

Whenever he could, he would go to the doctor's appointments with her and even accompany her to the prenatal classes. It hurt him to know that soon he would be touring without her and he hated that he wasn't able to be with her for every appointment for the next 2-3 weeks. He loved hearing their baby's heartbeat whenever they were at the doctor's. It made him the proudest man in the world. It made Karo's heart melt to see how he watched the monitor in awe as it showed their baby's growing features. He was so excited to become a dad.

"Yellow looks good on you, babgirl," he said with a chuckle. Her whole face was covered in paint and it made her look even more adorable in Roman's eyes.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and started kissing her, not caring that soon his face would be all yellow as well. They totally forgot about Dean and Seth standing there as they got lost in a passionate kiss, both of them moaning into each other's mouths.

"Roman Reigns, what the hell are you doing there?" Patricia, Roman's mom, asked shocked, making Roman and Karo jump at her sudden appearance.

Roman looked at his mother like a little boy who just got caught doing something forbidden, making both Dean and Seth burst out laughing.

"Well Mrs Reigns, you know that this is how the whole 'I'll get you pregnant' thing started, right?" Dean asked, making Seth laugh even harder.

"Shut the fuck up, Dean," Roman said, clearly embarrassed so that even Karo had to giggle. Due to his tan you couldn't really see that Roman was blushing, but Karo knew him too well. As much as he loved his mother, having her catch him in any kind of intimate situation definitely made him feel uneasy.

"Why don't you two go to the bathroom and clean up? I'm gonna look for you if you're not back in five minutes, trust me," Patricia said, a smile on her face after seeing her son take a deep breath.

He took Karo's hand and led her out of the baby's room, leaving his mom and two best friends behind.

"Are you boys hungry?" she asked them, laughing when both of them nodded their heads frantically.

Patricia was an angel, always taking care of Roman and his friends and cooking for them. She always wanted them all to be healthy and strong, even if that meant that Karo whined each and every time that she became fatter and fatter whenever they had dinner at his parents' house. But Roman loved every inch of her body because she was carrying his baby. And that was all that mattered to him.

...

"I'm so happy we're finally done with everything," Roman said after sighing heavily, placing a kiss on top of Karo's head.

After a long day of painting and assembling furniture, they were both sitting in the bathtub, finishing off the evening with a relaxing bath. Karo's back was pressed against his chest, the foam covering most of her body with only her growing baby bump still poking out of the water.

"So am I, although I haven't done anything but complain," she said and giggled, leaning her head back so that Roman could place his chin on her head.

"I allow you to still use your hormones as an excuse but not for too much longer, young lady," he answered and chuckled, moving his arms so that his hands could rest on her belly.

They both remained silent for a few moments, enjoying this moment to the fullest. The hot water was helping them to relax their muscles and the candles he lit were creating a romantic atmosphere.

She placed her hands over his, a content smile gracing her face.

"I can't believe there is a baby growing inside of me," she said before taking a deep breath, enjoying as Roman started caressing her belly.

His head was about to burst with pride when he looked at her baby bump. He was so proud of her and their baby and he couldn't wait to finally hold it in his arms. He knew he still had to wait for a little while but he was ready to become a father.

"Me neither. It's so surreal," he whispered, his eyes still fixed on their hands that were gently stroking her bump.

Again they both fell silent. A comfortable silence that they needed in order to recover from the last few weeks that had been costing their nerves and strengths. Today had been the last day of them renovating their house and Roman felt good knowing that tomorrow he could leave his fiancée in a fully done up house with everything she needed in order to feel safe and comfortable.

He still hated that he had to go back on tour again because leaving her behind was going to kill him. Ever since they had been dating there hadn't gone by a day without them spending it together. Now she would stay at home with him touring the States.

"What are you thinking about, baby?" she asked, sensing that his whole body tensed up.

He took a deep breath, contemplating if he should really tell her how he felt. He didn't want her to worry about him as that would probably stress her out. Something he wouldn't let happen to her.

"Wishing I could stay here with you...," he simply said, once again kissing the top of her head.

"Don't worry about me, Roman. I'm not alone. Your mom and your sisters will always be around and we said we would skype every day. I'm really going to miss you but I don't want you to stress yourself out because of me," she tried to reason, wanting to make him feel better.

Roman knew she was right but it still broke his heart knowing that he was going to miss so much while he was on tour. The prenatal classes, the doctor's appointments, watching her baby bump grow and simply accompanying her on the exciting journey of becoming a mom.

He decided not to take this conversation any further. He would deal with his worries on his own. Maybe even Seth would listen and tell him that everything would be fine. And deep down he knew that it would. It wasn't as if he would be gone constantly. He would probably have 1 or 2 days off every week. Days he would spend with her even if he was on the other side of the country.

Suddenly Karo winced, interrupting his thoughts and startling him.

"What is it? What's wrong?" he asked, the worry in his voice unmistakeable.

Karo didn't answer at first. She held her breath for a moment and tried to keep still as much as she could. Something that made Roman even more nervous.

"For fuck's sake, tell me what's going on, Karo?" he once again asked, this time not only worry but also impatience in his voice.

"Don't you feel it?" she questioned, now guiding his hands to the right side of her belly.

"Feel what?" he asked confused, millions of thoughts and questions running through his mind. He was still startled by her wincing, not being able to think straight.

She pressed one of his hands against her soft skin, closing her eyes tightly and trying to relax as much as she could, hoping it would happen again.

And it did indeed. Once again her baby kicked her softly, making both Roman and Karolina gasp in awe.

"Babygirl...what is this?" he asked, fully aware of what was happening but not being able to really fathom it. It felt so unreal.

"Roman...this is our baby...," she stuttered, tears building in her eyes.

After suffering from all the side effects of being pregnant like throwing up and being tired and moody, this was the best and most overwhelming feeling she had ever experienced.

Happy tears were now streaming down her face as she couldn't believe that for the first time ever their baby showed them that it was alive.

"Oh God...this can't be real...," he said, taking a deep breath and trying to keep his act together. "This is unbelievable."

He moved his hands all over her stomach slowly, trying to catch the baby's movements. He was fascinated and words couldn't describe what he was feeling in this very moment. He was over the moon.

"How does this feel, babygirl?" he asked, wanting to know how it was for her to have the baby move inside of her.

He couldn't even imagine how this must be for her when he himself was absolutely thrilled about it. He had experienced a lot of happy and exciting moments with her but this was by far the most moving thing he had ever felt.

"I don't even know how to put this into words, baby. It's breath-taking. It's amazing to finally feel it for real, you know?" she replied, closing her eyes and enjoying the feeling of his hands caressing her bump while her baby reacted to its daddy's touches.

But this did not only soothe her but their cookie as well because after a few more moments there were no more movements inside of her, making her sigh in frustration.

"It fell asleep," she said, giggling when he groaned annoyed.

"Damn, I was enjoying the company," he replied, sighing theatrically. "I really don't understand. I mean, I gave it my whole attention."

That was her cue. All this time while being in this tub with him, she had this funny feeling inside of her but with their baby interrupting their togetherness, she had been completely distracted. Now that their baby was asleep, she wanted to make the most of the time they still had until he had to leave in the morning.

"I know something else that would need some attention," she said, her voice almost a whisper.

Once again she took his hands and guided them to her breasts, letting him cup them gently. As soon as he touched her there, she breathed in sharply and closed her eyes tightly. For about two weeks she had been insatiable, her sexual drive and desire exceptionally high. Not that Roman had any problems with that, but it surprised him nonetheless. Together with her he had been reading quite a few books about pregnancy and babies, and if he remembered correctly one of the books said that in the second trimester women couldn't get enough of their men, something that put a smile on his face.

"Hmm, and who gives you attention when I'm gone?" he whispered into her ear, nibbling on her earlobe and making her shiver.

She took a deep breath, already feeling the wetness increase in between her legs. She loved when he whispered into her ear with that deep voice of his. It always sent chills up and down her spine.

"Well, I've taken care of this already," she replied, licking her suddenly dry lips when he started playing with her nipple ring.

"Oh, have you? You've searched for another lover on the internet?" he asked, his voice hoarse.

"Exactly. But thankfully he doesn't talk. He just vibrates," she said, biting her bottom lip and suddenly feeling how his cock hardened against the small of her back.

"You've bought a vibrator?" he asked surprised, not thinking that she would do that.

Then again there had never been the necessity of her owning one as he'd always been around, pleasuring her himself. But things were changing now.

"Uhm, you have a problem with me...well...you know...," she asked nervously, slightly blushing and being happy he couldn't see it as her back was still facing him.

"Masturbating? No, not at all. You can do it as much as you want. As long as no other man touches you, you can use whatever pleases you," he said, chuckling when he felt that she was uncomfortable in this conversation.

She swallowed hard when one of his hands found her clit, gently teasing it by rubbing it in between his thumb and index finger. Talking about vibrators with him touching her at the most intimate part of her body was more than she could handle. His growing erection didn't help matters.

"We should get outta here. I want to see your latest acquisition," he said and moved a little, signalling her that he wanted to get up.

She moved forward a little, giving him enough space to get up and step out of the bathtub. He immediately extended his hand to her, helping her up as her baby bump already gave her a hard time doing specific things.

When she was standing in front of him, she started tracing his abs with her fingernails, making him moan in response. His cock was fully erect now, making her even wetter instantly. She was going to miss him. It sounded stupid but she would not only miss Roman as a human being but his manhood as well. Something that made her giggle.

"What's so funny?" he asked, confusion written all over her face.

"I was just thinking that I will definitely miss your cock when you're gone," she said and immediately stopped giggling, looking up at him shyly and giving him a weak smile when she saw that he grinned at her.

"Hmm, I bet you will. But you know what? My cock is gonna miss your pussy as well," he replied with a chuckle, making her drip wet now.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down hastily, pressing her lips onto his softly. She wanted him. And she wanted him badly. Once more she needed to feel him inside of her. She was hungry for him.

"Let's go to the bedroom, babygirl," he said after breaking the kiss shortly afterwards, quickly reaching behind him to get some towels and helping her to dry off.

He took his time to let the towel wander all over her body, his eyes mesmerizing each and every inch of her body. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and her baby bump made him love her even more.

He let the towel fall to the floor when he was done, kneeling down in front of her and placing his ear on her belly.

"Are you still asleep, cookie?" he asked and waited a few seconds before he continued. "Perfect. I know you must be a little annoyed with me penetrating your little comfort zone in there, but daddy needs to take care of mommy. You don't want her to be grumpy, do ya?"

He placed small kisses around her belly button before standing up again and kissing her lips passionately. He took her hand into his and gently dragged her into the bedroom, closing the door behind him softly.

"Show me," he simply said, looking at her expectantly, his eyes reflecting pure lust.

She licked her lips nervously, suddenly feeling slightly uncomfortable. Did he really want her to get her vibrator? They had never really used any kind of sex toy before and she actually bought this vibrator for her own use.

"Babe, there really is no need to be ashamed. We've done some kinky stuff before, haven't we? You can trust me," he said while moving closer to her, cupping her face with his hands.

She took a deep breath and nodded her head, trying to relax as she knew that he was right. She really shouldn't feel embarrassed about certain things. Masturbation was still as a taboo issue nowadays and letting him know that she would be doing it while he was away felt weird. But he didn't seem to mind. Quite the contrary, it turned him on.

She turned around and made her way over to her bedside table, opening the top drawer and retrieving a rather large, purple-coloured vibrator which Roman immediately took away from her in order to examine it curiously.

"That one is...huge," he said, a smirk on his face.

Karo swallowed hard, this time not wanting to blush. She wanted to be self-confident and strong in front of him and not feel like a little girl.

"I'm used to huge things," she said, winking at him and seductively licking her bottom lip.

His smirk grew even bigger, beaming at her with pride. He was a man after all.

"Lay down," he said, his voice even deeper than before, making her whole body shudder in anticipation.

It was their last night together before he had to be back on the road again for more than a week. And he wanted to give her something she would always remember.

She did as she was told, watching him in excitement as he looked at the sex toy again.

"We might use that later," he said, putting it down on the bed next to her before spreading her legs and slowly laying down in between them.

He started kissing her inner thighs, over and over again, his nose slightly touching her mound when he changed from one thigh to the other, making her take a sharp breath.

He loved teasing her. And tonight he would tease her until she would beg him to let her cum. He knew that ever since she was pregnant, she was even more sensitive when it came to his touches and that was something he needed to use.

He now started kissing her lips, feeling that she tried to push up her hips so that he would finally give in and start licking her. He lifted his arms and slowly moved them up, cupping her breasts with his hands and gently kneading them. His palms teasing her already hardened nipples, making her moan out loud.

She was too distracted with his hands that she completely forgot about his mouth, yelping when he finally licked her clit with the tip of his tongue, sending sensations through her whole body. He started sucking on the little bundle of nerves, letting it go with a popping sound before furiously licking it again with his tongue. The feeling of both his hands and mouth made her dizzy, the combination too much for her to handle. He looked deep into her eyes while he worked her with his mouth, this time letting her lift her hips to meet the movements of his tongue. The look she was giving him gave him goose bumps all over her body. He so badly wanted to plunge himself into her and have his way with her, but he wasn't done with her yet. Not at all.

He only stuck his tongue out now, letting her ride his face by pushing her hips up and down. He had no idea if his cock could get any harder but it almost hurt. He removed one of his hands from her breast and started stroking himself, turning Karo on even more.

He pushed her hips down with his other hand, not wanting her to exhaust herself too much. Compared to before he now used his tongue fully, moving it from her clit down to her wet opening, licking up and down along her entrance. He stopped stroking himself and used his now free hand to start rubbing her hardened nub, making her grab his hair softly in ecstasy. She was about to lose it. She didn't know how much longer she could take it.

"Baby...I'm close...," she panted, burying her hand in his hair now and pulling at it slightly.

He immediately stopped and started kissing her thighs again, making her sigh in frustration after losing the connection.

"Don't cum yet," he whispered in between kisses, giving her time to calm down so that he could prolong the foreplay just a little more.

He could feel that her muscles slowly started to relax again after being tensed up before, every cell of her body on fire.

"But Roman...," she said, looking down at him and pleading him with her eyes to carry on.

"Enjoy this babygirl. Just relax and let me make you feel good," he replied with a smile on his face before continuing with the sweet torture.

He started placing kisses around her clit, his facial hair teasing it, sending chills up and down her spine. Her heart was beating fast in her chest and she felt like her whole body was about to explode. She was dripping wet by now, her body more than ready to get its release.

But Roman had other things in mind. While sucking on her little bundle of nerves again, he inserted one finger into her hole, adding another one just a few seconds afterwards. She arched her back, holding her breath and biting her lips which only encouraged him to add another finger, making her yelp.

"You like that, baby?" he asked in between licks, knowing that his dirty talk was something that she wanted and needed.

She just nodded her head, not being able to form a coherent sentence. The grip on his hair was even tighter now, the slight pain only turning him on even more. His tongue was licking her furiously now, his fingers bumping into her forcefully until he once again felt that she tensed up. He immediately stopped, his hands now pushing her hips down.

"Not yet. Have a little more patience, baby," he said when he looked up at her, his lips swollen by her wetness.

Karolina closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. As much as she hated that he kept teasing her, it felt absolutely incredible at the same time. She loved how his skilled tongue was able to send her to paradise. He knew exactly how to pleasure her.

Her breath was steady again, her body relaxed. A sign for him to start again. He immediately buried his tongue into her slick folds, tasting her and swallowing her juices while at the same time rubbing her clit with his thumb. He started to moan, sending vibrations through her body which reminded him of something. Although he wanted to let her cum this time, he let go of her again.

"Stop, don't say anything," he suddenly said when she was about to yell at him for driving her insane.

He took the vibrator which was lying next to her, switching it on and wrapping his hand around it, feeling the vibrations while licking his swollen lips. Karo just watched him in excitement, the thought of him pleasuring her with the sex toy almost sending her over the edge.

He positioned himself in between her legs again, kneeling in front of her and parting her lips with his fingers. He guided the toy to her clit, letting the tip of it touch the little bundle of nerves, the vibrations overwhelming her so that her whole body starting shaking. He started stroking himself again, his own erection driving him insane and seeing her lose her mind didn't help matters.

Very slowly he moved the vibrator downwards, along her wetness until he found her hole, all of a sudden pushing the toy inside of it. Karo couldn't help but let out a small scream, the feeling of having it inside of her making her bite her bottom lip in pleasure. She moved her hips against his hand which was plunging his little helper into her, her wetness making it easy to slide in and out.

She could feel the sensation building up in the pit of her stomach, her muscles clenching at the feeling.

"Stop Roman. I want to cum with you inside of me," she begged, pushing his hand away gently and thereby releasing the vibrator, taking it away from him before switching it off and throwing it to the side.

He was thankful that she wanted him inside of her, his hard cock needing its release urgently. He took his shaft into his hand, guiding it to her wet opening and entering her gently, diving into her inch by inch until he was buried deep inside of her. He knew that both of them wouldn't last long. She had been close twice, maybe even three times. And him watching her almost made him cum as well.

He started moving in and out of her in a fast but steady pace. There was no need to start off slowly, they both wanted and needed to reach their climax as soon as possible before the sweet torture would stop being sweet but become painful.

He moved his hips in circles, each and every thrust becoming more powerful and intense. She grabbed his biceps, digging her nails into them and moaning out loud. She was close. She was about to lose it. And this time he would let her.

"Cum for me babygirl. I want you to cum for me...come on," he encouraged her, her eyes fixed on his.

His words were all she needed to finally let loose and have her orgasm wash over her, the sensations almost making her pass out. This must have been the most intense orgasm she had ever had and now she knew why Roman wanted her to be patient.

She tightened her walls around his cock, wanting him to reach his own peak and have him empty himself deep inside of her. His movements were unsteady and unorganized now and it took him only a few more thrusts before he finally spurted his seed into her, collapsing on top of her but immediately prepping himself up when he noticed that he was putting too much weight on her baby bump.

He kissed her forehead softly, his breath shallow and unsteady. He didn't want to let go of her ever again but their mixed juices were dripping out of her and he knew that it made her feel uncomfortable.

He slowly slid out of her and laid down next to her, wrapping his arms around her with her placing her head on his chest.

"Well, I hope I gave you something to remember," he said, a smirk on his face.

"You certainly did. Although I hated you for teasing me like that, I still love you in the end," she said and giggled before she suddenly grabbed his hand and placed it on her belly. "Plus, you woke our baby."

A smile spread across Roman's face when he once again felt his baby kick his mother lightly. That was definitely something he would remember. Forever.

"And I love you, Karolina...both of you," he replied, once again kissing her forehead and enjoying the last few hours before he unfortunately had to leave his babies again.
