Chapter 50"Is this pretty?" Ariadne asked holding up a picture to Laura.
"Yes, honey. It is," Laura pointed out.
"Here. I got some more of the paint we needed," Donna said walking into the room.
Two more months and my baby will be born, Laura thought smiling to herself.
"Hey, girls," Vincent said walking in holding a few things that they needed to finish decorating the baby room.
He gave Ariadne a quick kiss on the cheek before asking, "So, how's it coming along?"
"Pretty good," Donna said, "Although Laura doesn't want to admit how tired she is."
"Donna…" Laura warned.
"It's true."
"You do look tired," Vincent said looking at Laura concerned.
"I'm okay, really," she said looking away and opening a can of paint.
"Come here," Vincent said taking her hand.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"You need a nap."
"Vincent…"
"Come on. I know what I'm saying."
"But I need to finish painting."
"The fumes may not be too good for you. Donna and I will take care of it. C'mon."
"Vincent…" Laura said as he led her out of the room.
"Who thinks they're gonna get married?" Donna asked once she checked to make sure they were out of sight.
"Me!" Ariadne said raising her hand high up in the air.
"Me too," Donna replied.
"Vincent, I'm not tired," Laura said as she laid down on her bedroom's bed.
"Don't lie."
"I'm not."
"You're doing that one thing where you're trying to keep your eyes from shutting but they keep on closing on you."
Laura laughed. "Anything else you notice Mr. Grey?"
"You look very pretty despite the fact that you have dried up paint all over your overalls."
Laura laughed.
"How are you holding up?" he asked.
"I'm okay," she said, "You know me. Just taking it one day at a time. I'm going to be a mom Vince. I can't fall now. I have to go forward with my life like I have so many times before."
"There's so much of you that's a mystery." He said playing with her hair.
"I could say the same to you," she said looking into his eyes.
"I admire you after all that you've been through."
"It's life Vincent. I have to make the most of it no matter what."
He smiled before saying, "Here, I got you something." He then pulled out a medium sized brown teddy bear with a stomach in shape of a heart.
"Vincent, this is adorable," she said with a few tears, "Thank you. You didn't need to this."
"I wanted to. It was no trouble."
"Thank you," she said leaning forward to give him a hug, "You know in many ways your really my best friend."
"You're mine too," Vincent said hugging her back before she let go and stared into his eyes deeply.
"What would I possibly do without you?"
"I rather not think about that," he said, "Get some rest."
He kissed her forehead and started to leave.
"Vincent," Laura called back.
"Yeah."
"Thank you."
"Your welcome," he said smiling before Laura hugged the teddy bear and drifted off into a deep sleep.
