Chapter 50 Love couldn't be any better

'Alex can I ask you something?', Stevie asked when she looked up. 'Yeah, what?', Alex watched her caring. 'Do you wanna stay the night?' 'Uhm let me think for a second', Alex placed his hand under his chin rubbing it. Stevie poked him. 'Ouch, that hurts. You get more aggressive when you're pregnant.' 'I always poke you!', Stevie stated. Alex laughed; 'those are loving punches without the intention to break my ribs.' She gave him a stare. 'Are we offended now?'

She stood up and walked away. 'Stevie!' Although Alex didn't understand why she acted like this, he figured he had done something wrong. So he rushed after her. 'Wait', she stood still, but didn't face him. 'Sorry about that. I wanna stay.' 'You should have thought about that earlier, forget it Alex.' 'Oh come on Stevie we are not gonna fight about thís.' 'No we're not ... we gonna kiss and make-up', Stevie said turning around, showing him a big smile before she stood on her toes, giving him a kiss.

Alex looked a bit dazed. What was that about, he thought to himself. 'You're cute like this', she concluded pleased. He now looked questioning at her. 'I was just teasing yah!' Alex rolled his eyes. 'Nice one ... but about the kiss and make-up part ...' 'So I take that as a 'yes I would love to stay Stevie'?' Alex smirked at her. She had her strange ways, but he totally melted when he saw her giving him that gorgeous smile. 'Good', she said, when her hand slid down his chest. 'Come'. Stevie now took his hand and leaded him inside.

'And I'm tired so we gonna go upstairs', she exclaimed while they made their way through the hallway. 'Good excuse Steves', Alex smirked. As they stood before her bedroom she looked up at him, wrapping her arms around Alex. 'Well, don't get any ideas. I have slept badly these last days, but maybe with you next to me ...' He was playing with her hair. 'So I have to help you get some sleep? Well that's something new.' 'Yes', she placed a finger on his nose for a sec, before moving away to the bathroom.

She started to brush her teeth, when Alex showed up behind her, his arms around her, hands caressing her tummy. He placed a kiss in her neck. 'So you think that will work?' She brushed along, spitting the toothpaste out a moment later. She turned her face a bit and nodded pleased at him. 'You're sure? Cause I don't know if I can resist you'. He gave her a quick kiss on her mouth, which made her giggle. 'Even with toothpaste.' 'Really?' She asked teasingly, turning around to throw her arms around him. Alex nodded, grinning; bending down to prove that a bit of toothpaste couldn't hold him back.

He kissed her smile and when she started to stop her giggling she pulled him closer and kissed along. Alex laughed when they parted: 'you can clean my teeth like this every night'. 'You're crazy Alex.' 'I know, that's why I love you.'

When they got into Stevie's bedroom, she took her clothes off like it was the most normal thing to do, putting a top on a moment later. Alex had taken place on the bed and just stared at her, noticing the exact shape of her stomach. When she noticed she gave him a strange look. 'What are you looking at?' 'You', she walked to him as he reached out for her. He pulled her top up again and his big hands caressed her tummy. He placed a kiss on it. 'Hey little one', he now started to talk, 'your daddy gonna stay with you tonight. So for once you're not just stuck with that annoying mother of yours.'

Stevie rolled her eyes. 'Mummy isn't annoying, and if your daddy keeps on talking like this, he won't spend that much nights with us.' Alex smirked. 'Are we fighting again?' Stevie smiled at him, taking his face in her hands. 'If we can make up again. Why are you still dressed anyway?'

'Lazy', he answered. Stevie moved closer and unbuttoned his blue shirt. Alex looked fascinated at her, and it made her smile. 'Alex, stop looking at me like that.' 'Like what?', he said teasingly. 'Okay', she said pulling away; 'You can handle your jeans yourself.' Alex watched her walking to the other side of the bed, where she sat down pulling the blankets over her. He crawled upon the bed, leaning over her. 'You're scared you can't resist, can yah?' He smirked, giving a kiss on her cheek. Her hand moved to his face, holding him close when he looked at her. 'Maybe, does it matter?' She started to kiss him. Alex moved closer to deepen the kiss, feeling her hands find their way to his naked body.

Her fingers ran playfully through his hair, when she moved, lying down. Once again they got lost in their kiss. Alex felt the need to take the blankets off of her. 'Come here', she mumbled when she stopped the kiss. Alex looked questioning at her. She laughed. 'Your jeans.' She sat up again to loosen his belt and jeans. When he finally had taken them off Stevie ordered him to turn off the lights. 'Geesh lights', he muttered, coming back from the light button near the door, lying down in bed.

'And what now?' Alex asked. She turned to him. 'What do you wanna do?' 'I only wanna do things you wanna do.' She shook her head amused, snuggling up against him. He had his arm around her, and caressed her shoulder. He wasn't really sure what to do next. Of course he wanted to make love to her, but he guessed that wouldn't be the most easy thing know she was this far in her pregnancy and maybe she didn't feel like it at all, and besides that all she was tired.

'You are thinking', she whispered giving a soft kiss on his chest before looking up. He now stroked her hair. She moved up a bit and ran her fingers down his chest to his stomach, looking at him. Alex couldn't deny the look in her eyes. 'You think about not wanting to rush things, you're thinking about the baby, you think about me.' He licked his lips; 'you know me too well.' 'So?' He moved to kiss her forehead. 'I wanna take time for things, treat you right, but it is very tempting', Alex spoke softly. Stevie saw his caring eyes look down on her, and she sighed content, realizing how much she loved him.

She lay down next to him, on her side. 'I love you Alex and I wished I wasn't this tired and didn't feel my stomach being in the way so often.' Alex smiled softly. 'Come', he made her move to her other side, facing him with her back, pulling her top off, laying closely to her. Stevie could feel the warmth of his body against hers. The soft touch of his fingers along her side, the save feeling of having him so close, and the tender touch of his lips on her shoulder. 'Just relax', he whispered.
