*Song inspiration It Won't Stop by Sevyn Streeter*
She wasn't in to mood to do anything really. She felt bloated all the time her feet were hurting and she had to pee every thirty seconds. Right now she was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling fan as it provided a cooling breeze. Stefan was out somewhere with Damon (she couldn't remember where) so she had the house all to herself. Struggling off the bed to use the bathroom she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She leaned in closely to get a better view of her face and she arched an eyebrow in the air. She wondered how Stefan could put up with her it looked as if she just won a pie eating contest and she still had leftovers in her cheeks. Maybe she was exhausted so she looked worse than she actually was. Backing away from the mirror she turned to the side to get a view of her growing belly and smiled. She placed a hand underneath her stomach where she felt the baby was and rubbed it smoothly back and forth. She used the bathroom once more then started her journey down the stairs; she reached the bottom and walked to the kitchen.
Stefan had already prepared her a snack and all she had to do was place it in the microwave. After pressing the start button she walked over to the threshold of the kitchen wall to keep away from radiation and waited for her food to warm up. Once the annoying beeper went off she popped open the microwave and poured the pasta and chicken on a plate. She stabbed the pasta and chicken with her fork and swallowed down the creamy goodness. She went for her second bite and heard the door unlock and close. Hands were placed on her shoulders giving her a quick massage then lips were placed on her cheek. She turned her head to the left and smiled when she faced Stefan. He gave her a kiss on the lips then her belly and pulled up a chair next to her.
"How was your morning?" He pushed a lock of hair behind her ear so he could see her eyes.
"We just relaxed, it was a calming morning." She smiled.
"Sorry I had to leave; Damon got himself into a little trouble."
"Don't be getting yourself killed, I need you, we need you."
"I won't I promise."
They stared into each other's eyes and Stefan linked their hands together. He saw the worried look on her face and he inwardly promised himself that he would never leave her side again. The last thing that he wanted was for her to worry about his well-being he didn't want to cause any stress on her and the baby. Stefan leaned in and kissed away the worry and she continued with her meal. Once he cleaned off her plate he carried her upstairs to their room.
"You spoil me too much."
"I'm your husband; I'll do anything to make your life easier."
"You're going to spoil the baby too; she's going to be such a daddy's girl." Bonnie rubbed her stomach.
"What makes you think that we're having a girl?"
"Mother's instincts." She replied with a shrug of the shoulder.
Stefan chuckled and placed his hand on top of Bonnie's listening to his child's heartbeat. He smiled as he heard it beating strong and they lied down on the bed. Stefan rubbed a hand up and down her thigh both falling into a slumber.
Bonnie was complaining about being bored in the house all day so Stefan suggested a ride around the town.
"We could take the convertible..."
Bonnie pretended to think about his offer but she gladly accepted. She put on her blue and green sundress paired with her black gladiator sandals and made her way to the car with Stefan beside her. He popped open the lid to his hardtop convertible and set the engine to life.
Bonnie breathed in the fresh air as they headed down the road. Downtown was one of her favorite places to go people were always walking around and you could hear the music from the bars and clubs. It was also the perfect place to window shop the stores always put out the most beautiful displays of clothes, jewelry, and her favorite; wedding dresses. She felt free and liberated as the wind blew her hair and the sun was shining on her face.
All the stress blew off of her and she smiled with her eyes closed. Stefan turned his to his right and admired his wife he was glad to see that she was his having a great time. He did feel bad that she was stuck in the house for most of her pregnancy and he thought that this would fill the hole inside. He decided to drive her out of town to the beach where they had their first date. They haven't been there in a while it was perfect because it had the calming sound of the waves and the birds flying across the salty sea. This would help take their minds off things and have some time to relax; just the three of them.
There was a long straight road about three miles away from the beach and they were the only ones on the strip. Stefan accelerated and Bonnie threw her hands up in the air just like she used to do every time they would come along down this road. Stefan laughed as Bonnie woo-ed to the heavens doing jazz hands in the air. Bonnie felt like her old self she didn't feel pregnant or swollen she felt like she was a vampire again and she loved the feeling. She loved her child inside her but she would admit that it was a pain carrying around. If she had to do this all over she wouldn't change a thing she couldn't wait to hold the little bugger in her arms as soon as it sees the light of day.
Stefan knew exactly how to cure her how to make her feel like she used to and she loved him for that. He was always making her feel young, free and beautiful and she couldn't ask for anyone better. She would be forever grateful that Stefan entered her life that night at the club. She had no idea how her life would've turned out if he hadn't entered it. She wondered if she would still be alive or anyone she loves mostly Elena. She let her mind ease off those thoughts and returned back to reality she could see the beach and she started to get excited again.
It was around six o'clock when they arrived to the ocean blue. Stefan got a blanket and picnic basket out the back seat and assisted Bonnie out of the car. There were few people on the beach and everyone that they passed offered a smile and ask how far along she was. The first few times Bonnie would pretend that she wasn't pregnant and look offend while the person would go speechless. She laughed and told them that she was just joking and she saw the weight lift off their shoulders and she would say that she is seven months along. Finding a spot to themselves, they laid down their blanket and basket and walked towards the salty water.
They let the waves hit their knees and even splashed each other a little. Stefan picked up Bonnie bridal style and she latched her arms around his neck smiling. He looked into those beautiful orbs of hers and wondered how he got so lucky. He pulled her in close kissing her full lips and wished that they could stay like this forever. Bonnie and Stefan were enjoying their little date night they haven't had one in a while so it was like a breath of fresh air. They shared a few more kisses and walked back hand in hand back to where they set up. They sat down on the blanket and started to eat their dinner. Stefan packed sandwiches, salad and fruits. Bonnie moved away from her craving french fries to juicy pineapples. She was glad that she started craving something on the healthier side because if it was one thing that she wasn't looking forward to was losing all her baby weight. She wasn't exactly sure about how much weight that she gained but she hoped that the baby was partly responsible for her 145 pounds.
The sun was starting to set and Stefan snapped a picture of the sun settling behind the deep blue then one of Bonnie. She posed for a few photos and Bonnie took out her phone to snap a few of Stefan making weird faces. She laughed as she swiped her thumb across the screen going through the photos. They watched as the sun set behind the ocean and the beautiful colors of the sky fade to black. The couple packed up their stuff before walking back to the car.
Stefan drove off after he put the top back on the convertible. Bonnie dosed off on the way to their home exhausted from the day they shared. Stefan carried her up to their room and took off her shoes. She opened her eyes and rolled over to her side to sit up.
"I have to take a shower." She said sleepily.
Stefan nodded, "Do you want a snack for when you get out?" He offered.
"Nope we're good." Bonnie smiled.
Bonnie stripped and walked into their shower. She smiled as she felt the cooling water run down her face and belly. She placed her lathered hands on her stomach and rubbed it smoothly then moved her hands to her chest and arms. She let the water wash away the soap and walked out and dried herself off as Stefan took a quick shower. He stepped out and wrapped his arms around his love and kissed her lips passionately. They stared into each other's eyes through the mirror and she smiled as Stefan placed his hands on her stomach.
"We'll be a family soon." Bonnie spoke.
They walked back in their room to lie on top of the sheets. Bonnie rested her head on Stefan's porcelain chest as an arm was wrapped around her shoulder. They turned on Love Actually and enjoyed the movie in the darkness of their room.
