Takes Place After 'Gift'
Mirror…
Her reflection stared back at her. Was that really her in the mirror? She had changed so much in the passed few months, and she was unsure as to whether or not the person staring back at her was the same girl she remembered.
Her hair was the same; long, blonde, slightly curled…
Her eyes hadn't changed; still the same bright blue she had always had.
Her eyes scanned her reflection again, and she knew why she looked different. It wasn't just her she was seeing…
"Tor? You home?"
She turned towards her bedroom door and saw her husband come in. He stopped in the doorway and just stared.
The love of his life was standing in front of their full-length mirror in nothing but a pair of shorts and a tank top pulled up over her expanding stomach, resting just below her breasts.
"Are you enjoying the view?" she asked as he approached.
Blake grabbed her belly on its sides gently and leaned in to kiss her lips.
"You know I am," he replied as he stood behind her, his hands still on her stomach. "What were you doing anyway?"
Tori sighed. "I was trying to see if I recognized myself," she admitted sheepishly. Blake smirked and kissed her cheek.
"Do you?"
Tori took a moment and looked again. "I do… but I also see someone else," she said as her hands rested over Blake's. "I see our baby."
Blake smiled and kissed her again. "Mirrors can show us all kinds of things Tor," he said softly.
"Like our family," she said as she looked at their reflections. Blake smiled and felt their child kick his hand.
