She was lying on her side, her body wrapped around the large pillow as best as her stomach would allow and her hair was splayed all over. Her face was hidden by the mass amount of blonde hair that she had. He had watched her let it grow since well before … everything; and as it turns out the pregnancy seemed to cause her hair to grow even more.
Jack brushed the hair gently off her face and was rewarded with a sleepy smile. Ever since they had made it back to Eleftheria three months ago she had seemed to relax more with each passing day. Her fear had seemed to melt away a bit more each day – they had even decided on baby names. He gently rubbed his thumb against her cheek and she shifted in her sleep, trying to move closer to him.
He smiled in relief. The biggest thing that had helped with easing her fears had been her progression through the pregnancy. Once she had made 25 weeks it was like a weight had lifted off her shoulders. When she had officially hit 32 weeks yesterday she had been left with a smile ever since. She still had her fears and he still had his, but it was nice to enjoy the pregnancy like they deserved to.
Jack gently placed his hand on the lower part of her abdomen that was peeking out from under the t-shirt she wore to sleep in. She stirred a bit but didn't wake, not even when he felt the very distinct kick of one of the twins. It was either Maura Quinn or Erin Gael that was kicking his hand right now. He smiled brightly as he leaned over to kiss Sam on her temple. She sighed in her sleep and Jack just kept smiling.
