It's now Thursday and it's been a very long week. Alex has Superstars tonight so of course he'll be going to the gym at some point. He's up before me, letting me sleep in. Aly's up before Mike, with one of those cravings, so she goes out into the kitchen to find something.
"Morning DC." She yawns as she walks in.
"Heyy, how'd you sleep?"
"Not bad. I think it was pure exhaustion. I'd actually still be asleep but cravings woke me up."
"Ah."
"Heading to the gym huh?"
"In a bit yeah." He nods.
"Have fun with that."
"Yeah, the reason why I didn't have a match Monday...Superstars tonight."
"Gotcha."
"I'd go with you and Dolce tonight, but I'm sure security won't let Mike into the arena, and I don't wanna be without him." She adds.
"I know. Its alright."
"You can still watch online from here, that is if you want. I open the show."
"Will do."
"Who are you facing?"
"Primo."
"Yeah you'll win for sure...compared to you...he's a weakling." She snickers.
"I know." Alex laughs.
"And what's gonna be even more awesome to win, is that my dad's gonna be in the crowd since he's up here in Cleveland doing a sports radio show now, which I was gladly able to go on Tuesday morning."
"Oh that's awesome." Aly smiles.
"I know, we got into talking about old stories about when I was growing up and everything."
"Awww."
"Yeah, one of them being when I was 12 years old."
"What happened?" She asks amusedly.
"Well we were talking about my football career and I mentioned how it all started when he and I were throwing the ball around when I was that age."
"Aw."
"But yeah it was fun. Don't get to see my dad much because of his job."
"Right. None of us get to see our parents much now. Its hard. Especially now that we're going through this huge change and we want to share it with them."
"Right." He nods.
"Even more so because its a first time for most of our parents. Mine being the exception."
"That too."
"But you know, we're doing the best we can with our situation."
"I know."
"Alright, I think that I'm heading back to bed now that my craving is satisfied." She says, giggling a bit.
"Alright." He chuckles.
She hugs him and then heads back to the bedroom. She walks in to see Mike sleeping soundly still. She smiles softly and carefully climbs into bed, trying not to wake him. She gets under the blankets and snuggles into him the best she can without waking him. She feels him move and she freezes. He mumbles in his sleep as his arms go around her in a tight grip. She relaxes and giggles quietly. Then she hears him sleeping again as she relaxes in his arms. She snuggles in closer and closes her eyes. Not too long after, she falls back asleep.
Meanwhile, Alex checks on me and finds me still sleeping. He walks into the room, deciding on going to the gym now, so he gets his things together. Then he comes over to me and sits on the edge of the bed, before leaning down and kissing my forehead, quietly saying that he'll be back in an hour or two. Then he gets up and heads out. A few hours pass and I wake up, stretching slowly. He walks into the room, deciding on going to the gym now, so he gets his things together. Then he comes over to me and sits on the edge of the bed, before leaning down and kissing my forehead, quietly saying that he'll be back in an hour or two. Then he gets up and heads out. Then I wander out to the kitchen to get some breakfast. When I do get out to the kitchen, I see Aly and Mike already in the kitchen and awake. She's eating of course and Mike is sitting beside her, rubbing on her stomach.
"Morning." I yawn, coming all the way into the kitchen.
"Morning Carls." Mike replies.
Aly just waves since her mouth is full.
"I am sooo not awake yet."
They laugh.
"We can tell." Mike says.
"I'd go back to bed, but then I'd probably never want to get up."
"I didn't want to get up either but I didn't really get a choice." Aly shrugs.
"Right." I nod.
"Somebody keeps making me hungry." She eyes her stomach.
"Awww."
Mike snickers.
"Of course."
"She already woke me up a few hours ago."
"She's being very active today I see."
"Yeah. Doesn't want me relaxing apparently."
"Aww."
"Its just one of those days I guess."
"Yeah seems like it."
I make my food and sit down at the table with them. Aly finishes first and gets up to put her dishes in the sink. I get up a while after to put mine in the sink as well. I leave the kitchen to head out into the living room only to hear the front door open and Alex walks inside.
"Oh, there you are." I say.
"I went to the gym. Would've been back earlier but, I had to deal with Eve."
"Seriously?" I sigh.
"Unfortunately."
"She wouldn't let me leave." He adds.
I growl.
"It's a good thing I wasn't there. I would've knocked her out."
"I know you would have."
"But she didn't do anything, so you don't have to worry."
"Good."
"I'm gonna go shower and everything, I'll be in the living room after."
"Okay." I nod.
Alex kisses me and rubs my stomach before heading to our bedroom for a shower.
"Do you really wanna be out here while he's in the shower?" Aly asks me quietly, a giggle escaping.
She then starts laughing at the look on my face.
"Shut up..." I mutter.
"Couldn't help myself." She giggles.
"Uh huh..." I say, making my way into the living room.
Aly follows, Mike wrapped around her.
"What is with you?" She pushes on him to make him loosen his grip.
"Noooo." He whines, not loosesning his grip.
"Mike, loosen up please."
"...okay." He sighs, loosening his grip just a tad.
She tugs him into their room so they can talk.
"What's wrong? You're super clingy."
"I'm just...I don't know. I'm just more concerned about you now. Monday night when I heard about you having the anxiety attack after I got thrown out...I couldn't be there for you, millions of things were going through my mind..."
"Oh Mike..." She sighs andd hugs him to her.
"I'm okay now. Things happen that are out of our control and that was one of them. He said you were fired and I just panicked..."
"I wasn't there for you though..."
"I know but you would have been and that is what matters to me. I don't blame you for not being there. I blame Hunter."
"I don't ever wanna go through that again. I was afraid something serious could've happened to you and Savannah."
"I know. We're okay though. I'm fine, she's fine and we're still together as a family." She says, rubbing his back since she feels him shaking slightly.
"I've been having trouble sleeping at night all this week because of that."
"I'm sorry babe." She presses her lips to his neck and keeps holding him and rubbing his back.
Then he buries his face in her neck as he hugs her tighter.
"I think I have something that might make you feel a little better." She says after a few minutes of silence.
"What?" He mumbles.
"Its in my bag. Let me get it real quick okay?"
He nods and moves his face from her neck. She leaves his arms and rummages in her bag until she finds what she's looking for anr brings it over to the bed.
"It's a personal doppler so we can hear Savannah." She tells him as he comes over to look.
"When did you get that?"
"I got it the other day and I meant to show you but I kept getting distracted."
"So whenever you want to hear Savannah, we can use this instead of waiting until the next appointment."
She sees Mike start to lighten up a little.
"I figured this would help you feel better, knowing that she's okay in there." She adds.
He nods and starts to smile a bit. They sit on the bed and open the box, reading the instructions and everything.
"Okay, ready to try it out?"
She nods and pulls her shirt up while he turns the doppler on. Then he moves the wand thing around on her stomach.
"I think she's over here." She gently pushes his hand over.
He chuckles as she moves his hand over, and then they hear the sound of Savannah's heartbeat. She immediately smiles.
"There we go."
"See, she's fine." She adds.
She leans over and kisses his cheek.
"Whenever you wanna hear her, just let me know and we'll use this again."
Mike nods.
"Feel better now?"
He nods again.
"Good. Now how about we take this out by Dolce and you can listen as much as you want."
"Alright." He agrees, taking it off her stomach and shutting it off for the time being.
They get up and go to the living room where I am. Then they go over to the couch and sit down.
"What's that?" I ask.
"Personal doppler so we can hear Savannah." She says as she stretches out and gets comfortable.
"Ooooh."
Mike gets comfortable himself before turning the doppler back on once her shirt is pushed out of the way. He puts the wand back where it was and is rewarded with the sound of her heartbeat again.
"Awwww."
Mike smiles and lays his head against her. She rubs wherever she can reach on his body.
"You can borrow this too Dolce."
"Once I'm able to hear Gummy Bear's heartbeat."
"Well whenever."
"Right."
We fall quiet and listen to the sounds on the doppler. Not too long after, Alex walks out into the living room from the bedroom after taking his shower.
"What's that?" He asks about the doppler and the sounds.
"We're listening to Savannah with the doppler." Aly explains.
"She said we can borrow that too."
"Oh, cool." Alex says, sitting with me.
"Whenever we find out about the heartbeat that is."
"Right."
"I can't wait for that."
"Me either."
"It's the best thing you could ever hear." Aly smiles.
"I'm sure it is."
Then I snuggle up to Alex, laying my head on his shoulder, yawning slightly.
"Tired?" Alex asks me.
"Just a bit."
"Why don't we go lay down then?"
"I lay down now, I won't wanna get up."
"Well then take a nap here. I'll get you up in a bit."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Alright." I nod, getting more comfortable.
Alex runs his hand up and down my back and before I know it, I'm asleep. Alex stays awake of course, listening with Aly and Mike as they keep the doppler going. There's an odd noise over the doppler.
"What was that?" Alex asks.
"That's her moving."
"That's an odd noise."
"Yeah, it is."
Then the noise comes over the doppler again as she moves again. Mike chuckles and kisses her stomach.
"She's moving a lot."
"Yup." She giggles.
"Gonna be very active today."
"Probably."
"Not that I can complain." Mike smiles.
"Of course not."
"But you may have to calm her down, there's only so much I can take."
Mike nods.
"Just let me know."
"I will."
She lays back and closes her eyes just resting. After a while the moving around that Savannah's doing seems to get too much for her.
"Mike..." She nudges him, grimacing.
"She's getting too much for you?"
She nods.
"Okay." He says, turning off the doppler and putting it on the table, before rubbing her stomach trying to get Savannah to calm down.
She shifts in discomfort.
"Savvy, you got to give mommy a break." He says to her.
He kisses her stomach. It takes a few more minutes but then she finally calms down.
"Thank god." She sighs in relief.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Mike replies, pulling her shirt down and shifting her so that she's laying against him.
"Definitely a daddy's girl."
Mike smiles.
"And she's gonna be spoiled by me just like you." He adds.
"I know."
"I think we all knew that from the beginning." Alex adds.
"True." Aly giggles.
"Should've seen him in the store when we went shopping for stuff for the nursery at the condo."
"He was going crazy." She laughs.
"Can't blame me though." Mike chuckles.
"No I can't. You just have to remember that there's going to be a baby shower and with the amount of people we know, we're going to be getting a lot of stuff."
"I know, I know."
"I know you love spoiling her." She kisses his cheek.
"And I will continue to love spoiling her after she's born."
"I know."
"I can already tell that you'll be an awesome daddy."
Mike grins.
"That's right, I will be."
Alex snickers.
"That's gonna be her first word you know...awesome." Mike states.
"We'll see." She laughs.
"I wouldn't doubt that you would teach her that word." Alex adds.
"He would but it might be too big of a word to be her first."
"You can try though Mike." She says to him.
She giggles and then yawns.
"You're tired."
"Mmm..." She sighs, snuggling into him.
"You wanna just rest here or just go lay down in the bedroom?"
"Doesn't matter..."
"Well you seem comfortable as you are right now, so I'll let you rest here."
"...'kay."
After she snuggles into him, he runs his fingers through her hair, helping her drift off. It works quickly and she's soon asleep in Mike's arms. Our short naps ended up lasting hours. Alex had just woken me up about a half hour before we had to leave for Superstars.
"Carebear, time to get up." He says in my ear.
I groan in protest, mumbling as I shift in my spot.
"Come on love." He kisses behind my ear.
"...few more minutes..."
"You have a half hour to get ready before we leave."
"Okay..."
Alex gets up and carries me to our bedroom. He sets me down so that I'm sitting on the bed, while he gets his things together. I sit there and let myself wake up more before I move to get ready. I dig through my things until I find the perfect thing to wear, and then I start to get changed. Alex sits on the bed to wait for me once his things are together. I saved my hair for last, doing that in the bathroom before coming back out and grabbing whatever I may need for tonight.
"Wow babe." Alex says, looking me over.
"That good huh?"
"Yeah. You look beautiful."
"As you say all the time."
"Because it's always true no matter what."
"I know." I smile.
Alex walks to me and cups my face, giving me a gently kiss.
"I have a surprise for you." I say after he pulls away.
"Really? What's that?"
"Well you know that drawing I was working on, but I wouldn't let you see?"
"Yeah."
"Well wait one second." I say, pulling away from him and going into the closet.
I search in the closet until I find it, grabbing it and putting it on, before turning around to face him. His eyebrows are raised and he looks surprised.
"This is what I was drawing to have made."
"Ohhhh. Wow."
"I figured could match you going out to the ring when you wear that vest...which you haven't been wearing lately, but still."
"Right. Great idea." Alex kisses my cheek.
"But of course, not wearing it tonight."
"I know."
"Just thought I'd show you."
"Well thank you. Its a great surprise."
"I thought it would be."
"Alright. We should get going."
"Right." I nod, taking off the jacket and putting it back in the closet.
Then I grab my things and Alex grabs his and we leave the bedroom. We poke our heads into the living room.
"We're leaving now." I tell Mike
"Alright, we'll be watching." He nods.
Then we head out the front door and get into the car, Alex putting his bag in the backseat, and then we head off to the arena. We get to the arena and Alex goes to change. I sit on top of one of the equipment boxes as I wait for him to come out, occasionally greeting people as they walk by. A few minutes later he steps out. I look up as he walks out and a slight smile forms on my face as I look him over.
"Looking good." I say and he chuckles.
"Good to know."
He steals a kiss and helps me down.
"Be on the lookout for my dad. He's supposed to be in the crowd tonight. Somewhere ringside."
"I will."
Then we go to walk down the hall to wait until the show starts because right after the intro we're going out there. That's when I notice something on the back of his leg and I see that it's one nasty bruise.
"Ouch, where'd that huge bruise come from?"
"My pay-per-view match." Alex replies.
"Looks like it hurts."
"Not really."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously. It doesn't hurt much."
"Just remember, I have a higher tolerance to pain." He adds.
"Right, I know."
Then while we were waiting and got ready to go out, we watched the Superstars intro. Right after the intro, Alex's music was played and then he and I walked out. We stop at the top of the ramp before starting to walk down it. Alex stripped the Indians jersey he had on and handed it to me. I laugh and kiss him. He jumps up onto the the ring, as he's being introduced and I walk around the ring. I look around for his dad and that's when I spot him, walking over and hugging him as we greet each other.
"I see you finally have a bump starting." He says, touching my stomach.
"Yes, you couldn't really notice it Tuesday morning during the radio show because I was sitting down." I nod.
"Yeah, your shirt was looser too."
"Yeah, it was one of those lazy days." I laugh.
"I bet." He chuckles.
I decide to stay by him through the match and talk occasionally. Next Primo came out and got into the ring. Once the bell rang, they circled each other and lock up. Alex gets Primo into a standing side headlock and Primo pushes Alex towards the ropes to get out of it, resulting in Alex delivering a shoulder block to Primo and he falls to the mat. Primo complains to the ref about what Alex did and stays against the ropes for a few seconds getting his composure while Alex paces waiting for him. They circle each other one more time, Primo putting his hand up for Alex to take it, instead he kicks him and starts beating him. Alex goes over to the corner of the ring trying to get away, and Primo goes over to him and continues the stomping to his chest. The ref pulls Primo back and then he whips Alex into the ropes. Alex goes for a clothesline but Primo ducks, he goes for another, but ducks again. Alex takes down Primo and starts to repeatedly punch his head. Alex picks Primo up and rams his head into the turnbuckle.
Alex whips Primo into the ropes again, Alex runs into him and Primo drop toe holds Alex's face into the ropes. Primo runs and slides down Alex's back and acts all cocky with himself after doing so. Alex is in the ring hurt and Primo is still outside acting cocky. He gets in the ring, Primo drops his knee to Alex and Alex goes over to the ropes to get away.
Primo goes after him and digs his knee into him while Alex hangs over the ropes. The ref tells Primo to come off the ropes and then Primo strikes Alex's chest with a hard kick. Primo takes him away from the ropes and proceeds to do a knee breaking on Alex. Alex struggles to get free and then they begin trading blows back and forth. Alex with an STO on Primo, and then Primo tries to do a clothesline to Alex, but Alex clotheslines Primo first. That's followed by another clothesline and Primo goes for a clothesline again, but Alex counters with a spinebuster. He delivers a corkscrew suplex to Primo and then goes for the cover, Primo kicking out and Alex is in shock. Primo with a leg sweep and then a leg drop on Alex.
He goes for the cover but Alex kicks out at 2. Primo starts to punch him again while he's on the floor. The ref pulls him off after 3. Primo stalks Alex, waiting for him to get up, and goes for a backstabber. Alex holds onto the ropes so Primo misses and falls to the mat. Alex picks him up, delivers the TKO and then he pins Primo 1, 2, 3. The ref raises his hand and he gets up on the turnbuckle and points to the crowd. After that, he gets out of the ring and comes over to me and his dad.
"Good match." I tell him, giving him a kiss.
"That makes you 2 and 0 on the show now." I add.
"Yup."
Of course his dad congratulates him and they do the usual man hug thing. Then Alex puts his arm around me.
"Well we should get going now, the break isn't very long."
"Right."
"We'll see you later Dad."
"Alright." He nods, and we say bye before walking away and up the ramp to head backstage.
"So what now?" I ask Alex.
"Well we can either hang around until the end of the show or we can head back to the house."
"Hmm...to the house I think. There isn't much to stick around here for."
"And if you get changed quick enough...when we get back...maybe I'll wear this shirt to bed tonight." I smirk, referring to the jersey he wore out to the ring.
His eyebrows shoot up and he tugs me quickly towards the locker room.
"Okay slow down..goodness." I laugh.
"Your fault."
"Oops." I giggle.
It doesn't take long to get to the locker room and Alex dashes in to get changed. I shake my head amusedly, leaning against the wall as I wait. He comes out with his bag.
"Lets go, lets go."
Before I could even say anything, he grabbed my hand and started dragging me along as we leave the arena.
"Alex, slow down." I laugh.
"You caused this."
"Sorry." I giggle.
We get out to the car and he rushes to get inside, telling me to hurry up. I just laugh at his eagerness and get in, buckling the seatbelt and then we drive off. The drive back was quick and painless. We soon pull into the driveway and go inside.
"Hi...bye." I say as Alex and I quickly pass Aly and Mike.
"Ooookay then." Mike says.
"She must've done something again."
"Probably."
"Can't blame her though, it's fun to mess with you two."
"Fun for you."
"Yes fun for me."
"You now you enjoy it too though." She says, poking him.
"Uh huh."
She giggles and snuggles in, resting her head on his chest.
"Just like how I torture you, and you enjoy that."
"Mmhmm..."
"So what to do now?"
"I dunno."
"Well it's still pretty early so going to bed isn't an option really."
"Right."
"Hmm, let's make something. I don't know what, but let's make something. Some kind of snack or dessert or something since we ate dinner already.""I want cupcakes."
"I think Savvy wants them too."
"Alright well lets go make them." Mike chuckles.
"Yayy." She cheers, getting up before him and heading to the kitchen.
She opens the cabinets and gets what they need out. Mike joins her in the kitchen, helping. They mix the batter up. she swipes some and smears it over Mike's mouth, kissing him afterwards.
"Sneak."
"Complaining?" She smirks, swiping more.
"Not really..."
She puts more on his lips and kisses him again, lingering longer this time.
"Don't tempt me." He says after she pulls away.
She giggles and swipes a little more but this time popping her finger into her mouth.
"What did I say..."
She gives him an innocent look.
"Don't act all innocent with me."
She laughs and moves to prep the pans.
"I'll get you back for that later." He mutters to himself.
She helps Mike pour the batter into the papers in the pans. The oven beeps as it finishes preheating. She lets Mike put the pans into the oven while she sets the timer. Then they clean up whatever there was to clean before heading back out into the living room. She curls up on the couch.
"Are you forgetting about your pillow?" Mike chuckles.
"Well come on then." She opens her arms.
He grins, sitting down next to her and then she wraps her arms around him. She makes a noise of content as she snuggles into him and as usual, his hands slip under her shirt to rub the bare skin of her stomach.
"Now to just wait for her to start moving again. She always seems to when you do that."
"Yeah."
"But I think she's gonna be in there sleeping for a while." He adds.
"I hope so. That episode earlier was really uncomfortable."
"You're gonna have a lot of those aren't you?"
"Yeah it'll only get worse when I'm bigger because she'll have less room to move."
"Awww, well that's what I'm here for."
"I know."
"But you won't be when I have to stop traveling."
Mike grimaces.
"I'm not looking forward to that."
"I'm not either." she sighs.
"But it's not anything we can avoid."
"I know."
"I looked at the calendar and I'd have to stop traveling the week before Christmas."
"Oh."
"At least we wouldn't have to be apart for too long at first."
"Yeah, that's the good thing about it."
"I still wish we didn't have to be apart."
"I know Lyssa, I know...I wish the same thing."
"But that isn't for a while yet so just relax." He adds, kissing her head.
"I'll try."
She sighs and lays her head against him. He holds her tight and kisses the top of her head before resting his on hers. They just lay there in silence until the timer goes off.
"Time to get the cupcakes." She says, sitting up and sliding off the couch and going into the
kitchen.
Mike follows and takes them out. She checks and makes sure they're done.
"Just have to let them cool a bit before we frost them."
"Alright." He nods.
She climbs onto a stool.
"You can get the frosting out and something to spread it with. We have to stir up the frosting."
He nods again and goes through the cabinets getting everything. They mix up the frosting and then wait for the cupcakes to cool before they start frosting them. Of course they goof around ab it with the frosting like they did earlier with the batter for the cupcakes. She put a fingerful of frosting in her mouth.
"Mmm..." She hums happily.
"Good?"
"Mmhmm."
He nods before taking some frosting himself, but instead of tasting it right then and there, he swipes some across her lips. But before she could even say anything, he kisses her. She gives in to his kiss with a giggling sigh. He makes sure to get all the frosting off her lips before pulling away.
"Yup, frosting is good."
"...yeah."
Then he goes back to frosting the cupcakes. They finish frosting them and she starts to eat the remaining frosting. Of course she offers at least some of the frosting to Mike, being nice.
"Want some?" She asks.
"Sure." He nods, taking some.
Between the both of them, they finish the rest of the frosting. They put everything in the sink to be washed later. They put the cupcakes in the containers.
"So what shall we do now?" She asks.
"Movie?"
"I guess."
"Unless you have a better idea. You always have great ideas yourself."
"I don't really have anything. Its too cool to go swimming..."
"True...how about sitting outside and watching the stars?"
"I like that idea." She smiles.
"I'll get a blanket just in case it gets too cool out."
"I want one of your hoodies."
"I'll get one of those too." He grins.
"I'll be on the swing." She kisses his cheek.
"Alright." He says and the both get up from the couch, aly going outside and Mike going into the bedroom.
She gets comfortable on the swing and a few mintues later he walks out with a blanket and one of his hoodies. He hands her his hoodie first and sits down on the swing next to her as she puts it on. Then he drapes the blanket over the both of them.
"Much better." She murmurs, cuddling up to him.
"Now you're extra warm."
"Yup. Now watch, I'll end up getting hot. She's like a personal space heater." She says, patting her stomach.
"Really? I never knew that."
"Yeah. Why do you think I haven't been wearing much to bed?"
"Makes sense now."
"You were just enjoying the view huh?"
"Maybe."
"Maybe?"
"Okay I was."
"That's what I thought."
"Can you blame me?"
"No." She giggles.
"You just love when I dress like that."
"Of course I do."
"What's not to love?"
"My weight?" She shrugs.
"Hey now, don't go there. You know I love you no matter what."
"Sorry." She mutters, looking at the ground.
"It's okay. You just have to remember that your weight or anything else does not affect how much I love you."
She looks at him briefly and nods before looking up at the stars.
"Look at all the stars."
"Yeah..."
"...so pretty..."
"Not a cloud in the sky."
"Nope. Crystal clear."
"The way it should be."
"Definitely."
Then she gets even more comfortable, snuggling into him. Mike kisses her head and then rests his head against hers.
"Only about 3 more months..." She comments as his hands make their way to her belly.
"I know, I can't wait."
"There's still so much to do."
"We'll get it done, don't worry."
"But I'm excited. I can't wait to finally hold her."
"Me neither."
"We're going to be parents, how crazy is that?"
"I know."
"Did you ever see this for yourself before we met?" She asks curiously.
"No, not really."
"No? Did you want it?"
"Someday yeah."
"I used to get a little jealous of my sister, she had a husband and kids...I wanted that for myself."
"Well now you do have that for yourself."
"I know. I couldn't be happier." She kisses his jaw.
"I couldn't be any happier myself." He agrees.
"Really? I mean this all happened so fast..."
"I know it's all happened so but yes...really."
"The only thing that could make me happier is having Savvy with us and really being a family." Mike adds.
"About 3 more months like you said, and then I'll be even happier."
"I'm really glad to heat that you're happy." She says with a soft smile.
"Good. There's no reason why I wouldn't be happy anyway."
"I'm just insecure sometimes. I can't help it."
"I know, but it's okay."
They sit outside for a while longer, just enjoying the peace. She starts to yawn.
"Someone's tired again."
"Mmm...I don't wanna move..."
"I can still carry you."
She nods and snuggles into him, putting her arms around his neck. Then he picks her up and gets off the swing, walking inside and to the bedroom. He sets her on the bed and helps her get out of most of her clothes, before she crawls up in the bed and gets under the covers. He gets changed fairly quickly and climbs onto the bed and under the covers himself. He slides over to her and she cuddles to him.
"Night Lyssa."
"Night, love you." She mumbles.
"Love you too."
She falls asleep before Mike and soon they're both sleeping. In the room with me and Alex, I
stuck to what I said and changed into that jersey he wore to the ring tonight.
"You look good in my clothes." Alex grins.
"As you said once before."
"Well its true."
"Considering that there's only been one other time where I've worn your clothes."
"Right."
"But still..." He adds.
"You should do it more often."
"You would like that wouldn't you?" I giggle.
"Yes."
"I thought so...I'll think about it."
"Okay."
"In the meantime I think you should get over here." He says, patting the spot on the bed next to him.
"Oh really."
"Yes, really."
"Alright." I giggle and climb onto the bed.
As soon as I was all settled and laying down, he pulled me closer to him.
"Mine."
"Yes, yours. Just like you're mine."
"Exactly."
"And this...is ours." He adds, his hand drifting to my stomach.
"Yes it is." I nod.
"I like that word. Ours." He smiles.
"Yeah...I do too."
Alex kisses my head.
"A long way to go though."
"Yeah. We'll get there in time."
"Right."
"Just enjoy eveything as it comes."
"Which I know you will." I snicker.
"Of course."
I then try to stifle a yawn but fail.
"Time for bed." Alex chuckles.
"No I'm fine."
"You're yawning love."
"Yeah, and?"
"That means your tired."
"Not all the time."
"True, but I think you're tired."
"Okay okay, time for bed then."
He shuts the light off and the two of us cuddle.
"Night love."
"Night."
