Chapter 14

August 13th, 2030

Briley was standing at the gate at the airport waiting for Briar. It had been the longest two weeks of her life. She was just ready to be in the arms of her husband. She wanted to share Kyli's kicking with him and see his expression the first time he felt it. She just wanted to be with him.

It had taken some convincing to get Dianna to let her come and pick him up by herself. Though they were married and growing up, Dianna still saw Briar as her little boy. Briley couldn't blame her. She knew when Kyli got older that would be how she would feel about her as well.

Briley looked up and saw Briar coming out of the gate. She smiled from ear to ear when she saw him start jogging towards her. He swept her off her feet and gave her a kiss she had been waiting two weeks for. They were sharing an embrace when Kyli kicked hard enough that Briar felt it. He sat her down and asked, "What was that?"

Briley giggled when she put a hand to her stomach. She said, "That was your daughter, silly. She has missed you just as much as I have. She wanted to make sure that you knew she was there."

Briar got down on his knees and kissed Briley's stomach. He said, "Kyli Stella Blair Salling, how could you ever think daddy would forget about you? I haven't been able to stop thinking of you and your mommy since I left. I see you have gotten a little bigger since I was last here. I can't wait to see you get even bigger until you are here."

Briley smiled and said, "You are amazing. Can we go get something to eat? Your daughter is quite hungry. Your wife is, too."

Briar laughed. "Of course. What do you want?"

"Well, I was thinking veggie pizza, cookie dough and peanut butter."

Briar looked at her surprised. He didn't know what to say to that.

Briley told him, "You have missed out on the cravings. They started as soon as you left. I normally get up at two and end up in the kitchen trying to find something to eat. It normally ends up with me eating nothing and crying. I hate it, but there is nothing I can do about it. I just get hungry at the most inopportune times."

"Well, if it helps our daughter then there is nothing wrong with it. After we get you what you want to eat then we will go to the grocery store and the baby shop. Then I want to spend the rest of the night in your arms. I have missed holding you in my arms more than anything. Hopefully it will never happen again. I don't want to be away from you and Kyli ever again."

"That is why I am so glad we work together. We get to go to work every day together. We have to get up at five in the morning to be at the studio, but I know everything is going to be okay because you will be there."

"Then lets get going. I want to give you a good evening." The two of them went and did the things that they wanted to do together.

Briley was lying in bed next to Briar while he drew little circles on her stomach with his finger. Kyli was kicking up a storm. Briley said, "Babe, this is the life. I wouldn't get up from this bed if I didn't have to. I want nothing more than to always be in your arms."

Briar smiled when he kissed her head. "I know what you mean. That is how I feel, too. The only thing I would change would be having Kyli lying on my stomach with us."

"I would have that, too. We have to go see your mom and dad tomorrow. I had a heck of a time getting her to let me come pick you up by myself. She missed you something awful. She called me every day and came over to check on me every other."

Briar laughed. "That's my mom. I asked her to make sure you were okay. She would call me and let me know how you were doing. I wanted to make sure you were doing okay while I was away."

"Yeah. I hated to ask her to let me pick you up by myself, but I had to. I have missed you so much. I just needed a little time with you by myself."

"I'm glad you did. We will see her tomorrow and everything will be fine."

"Did I tell you about the awkward dinner the other night?"

"You did. Then Logan called after that and told me how embarrassed he was. He was terrified by the look on Cory's face when it slipped out."

"Daddy isn't that bad."

"Honey, when it involves any of you girls you are asking for trouble. I remember the first time I let it slip that I loved you. I thought he was going to kill me on the spot so I could sympathize with Lo. I am with the oldest Monteith so it is worse for me."

"What are you talking about?"

"We all know that you and your dad have a special connection. Anyone with eyes can see it. I was prepared to walk out of your house with a broken nose or black eye when we told him that you were pregnant. I am taking away all the dreams that he and Lea had for you. Nothing is ever going to be like they wanted it to be for you. I cost you your childhood and Broadway. You had so much ahead of you."

Briley kissed Briar. "You did change my life, but I wouldn't change anything about it. I just wasn't meant to do Broadway like I thought I was. I mean look at us. We are going to be on a television series that started each of our parents' relationships. This is more important to me than Broadway. Broadway is going to be around forever if I ever want to try again. You and Kyli are so much more important. I love the two of you and I don't need much else."

Briar scooted down in the bed and kissed Briley's swollen stomach. He said, "Hi Kyli. It's daddy again. I know you are going to get tired of me, but there isn't much we can do about that. You are stuck with me for good. You are just going to have to get used to me. I just hope you are going to love me."

Briley giggled. She told Briar, "I don't think you have to worry about that. She is going to be a daddy's girl and I am going to enjoy watching the two of you. I know you are going to be wrapped around her little finger."

"I know I will be. I am wrapped around yours and I know it is going to be the same with her. I am not going to regret that either. I just can't wait to hold her for myself. I'm sorry that I wasn't so open to the idea at first. I was scared."

"I was scared, too. Babe, I didn't know what was going to happen with us and that scared me. From the day when we were five and had our first kiss in my tree house, I knew you were going to be the one I married. I thought when I told you that we were pregnant that I was wrong. There has not been anyone else in my life to make me feel the way you do."

"It is the two of us against the world now and forever. You don't have to worry about anything."

"I'm so glad." Briley started yawning.

Briar scooted back up and wrapped his arms around Briley. He said, "You need to get some rest. I can tell you are exhausted."

"I just don't want to stop talking to you. You have been gone so long. I just have to be lame and ruin things. Kyli has been taking away all of my energy. I can't seem to get the energy to do much of anything. I ended up taking a nap the other day at filming and they had to come looking for me."

Briar kissed her head. "Get some rest. I will be right here when you wake up in the morning. I'm not going anywhere."

"Will you sing to us?"

"Of course."

Briar started to sing Need You Now to Briley and their unborn daughter. It was the song that Mark and Lea had sang together on the show. He felt it was the perfect song to sing because it was one of each of their parents. It just seemed to be all they needed. Briar looked down and Briley was asleep before he hit the chorus. He pulled her into his side and held her as he fell asleep himself.

Briar woke up at 2 am to find that Briley's side of the bed was empty. He got up and began looking for her. He found her in the kitchen standing in front of the fridge crying.

Briar wrapped his arms around Briley's swollen stomach and kissed her neck. He asked, "What is the matter, beautiful?"

Briley turned around to look at him. "I'm so hungry, but I don't know what to eat. Kyli wants some of the most random and disgusting things. I shouldn't have gotten out of bed. I should have just stayed in bed with you. I'm sorry I woke you. I'm a terrible wife. I'm going to be a terrible mom, too."

Briar said, "Don't even say that. You are an amazing wife and you are going to be an amazing mom. I wish you would have woke me up. I would have came down here so you wouldn't be eating alone. I'll make or go get you anything you want. I am at your service. Anything for you and Kyli. I just want the two of you to be happy and healthy. What can I get you to make you happy?"

"I'm really craving cake with lots of icing and sprinkles."

"Then cake is what you will get. I'll put it in the oven. It's a bonding time for us. You have nothing to be sorry about. I'm glad that I can be doing something for the two of you."

Briley kissed Briar full on the mouth and gave him a big smile. The two of them started getting the things together for the cake. They smeared batter on each other's face before laughing and pouring it into a pan.

Briar told Briley, "Tomorrow is going to be a long day at work, but I am so glad that I could be keeping you company. I wouldn't want you to be down here by yourself."

"That is why you are my favorite. I know I can count of you for anything. I know you are going to be a great dad because Kyli will be able to come to you for anything. Not everyone is that lucky to have someone that cares so much about them."

"I will always be here for you and our girl. That isn't going to change. We are going to all be growing up together. Kyli is going to be to me like you are to Cory. She is going to be special because I am going to be growing up with her. She is our first little girl, maybe our only little girl. I am going to watch her like a hawk."

Briley giggled. "I am sure she is going to love it as much as I did."

Briar got the cake out of the oven. The two of them iced it and put sprinkles on it. They each had a piece of their masterpiece.

Briar said, "Why don't we go upstairs and try to get a couple more hours of sleep. Then tomorrow afternoon we'll take a nice long nap together."

"I really am sorry I woke you, honey."

"I'm not. This cake was really good."

Briley laughed as they went upstairs to their bedroom to try and sleep a little while longer.
