PERFECT SYMMETRY

63. Tangible

Tribal carvings decorate the wood banister where her fingers are sliding through. It's beautiful, and completely unexpected. The shade of the wood is very reminiscent of Jacob's fur. All the little details from the color of the sheets, to the very thoughtful and cute mobile with little wolves hanging in place, give the crib a sense of warmth, that Leah loves as soon as she lays eyes on it.

"You like it?" He's all sweaty and shirtless, and if her hormones weren't so busy making her teary and soft, they probably would have her jumping his bones.

"Like it?"She asks in a small voice "Jake, I love it. I still can't believe you had time to do this and hide it from me"

"Well Becca only confirmed what I already suspected..."He wrapped his arms around the middle, his hand covering her still plain abdomen.

She finally has a tangible proof it's all happening. And she loves him for giving it to her. For knowing she needed this. It goes beyond an approval, or a feeling of acceptance. He's telling her he's ready, and that he's here for her in every sense of the word. And even if she should've known all along, having him tell her in his own way doesn't hurt.

"The song" Leah laughs quietly.

"Meant every single word" He whispers quietly in her ear "You know that"

"Do you think we should get married?" A slight frown appears on Jacob's face and he loses his grip so he can turn her face his way.

"You don't?" There's a slight hint of fear in his voice "Do you...I..." But Leah shuts him up quickly, putting her left hand over his mouth. She laughs quietly and shakes her head. And the worry leaves just like it appeared. She can feel his smile growing under her palm

"I meant like sooner" She kisses her hand softly and a faint blush appears on her cheeks. She's blaming the hormones for that. Feeling coy and self conscious is something new. And the funny part is that she doesn't hate it.

"I could do it right now" His voice is low, and the kiss he places below her ear, is enough to have her nodding at his crazy suggestion.

"It would be just the two of us" She says after a moment.

"Three of us" And it's easy to lose themselves in a world of three, where nothing else matters. The future doesn't feel like smoke and mirrors for her. It's all happening. And even if she feels it's too good to be true for a second, it's all real. And dangerous as it might be, she stops worrying and overthinking and decides to let herself enjoy it.
