Chapter 68

Ella woke slowly and rolled over. Roman was still beside her. She grinned.
"Hello Lover." She said softly pressing kisses on his shoulder.
"What time is it?" he asked.
"Around 11." She said.
He groaned and stood up grabbing his bathrobe he wandered into the shower.
She grinned and climbed out of the bed. She pulled on shorts and a T and went downstairs making a strong pot of coffee. Getting glasses of water sorted out and putting multiple packets of headache tablets on there. She opened the fridge and took out food starting making a full breakfast.
Roman joined her and grinned.
"You look better as a blonde." He told her.
She leaned over and kissed him.
"And you look better and kiss better without the goatee so why don't you go back to the bathroom." She suggested grinning at him.
He put his arms around her and placed his hands on her breasts feeling them.
"They are bigger." He said.
She smiled and removed his hands.
"A half cup size." She confessed.
He kissed her again.
"If each time I get you pregnant they get bigger how many times will you have to get pregnant before you reach a g cup."
She looked at him.
"Sit down." She ordered.
He chuckled and sat.
"I was just curious." He grabbed some tablets and downed a glass of water.
"6." She said. "But don't count on me reaching that target because they will go down when I breast feed."
He looked at her and smiled.
"Feeding our baby." He said softly. "I can't wait." She put some toast in front of him then served up the rest of the food in bowls so people could help themselves.
He caught hold of her and pulled her on to his lap.
"I love you." he said.
She smiled at him.
"I love you too." She kissed him slowly.
They pulled apart when Geoff stumbled down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Hey Geoff. Did you have a nice time at the club?" Ella asked innocently.
Roman chuckled.
"Not a good time as Roman." Geoff said pouncing on the headache tablets.
"Really?" Ella said grinning. "Would that be because he went off with a cheap blonde in a leather mini skirt?" she said in the same tone of voice.
Geoff did a double take groaning at the sudden movement of his head.
"You know?" he said.
"We have no secrets in our marriage." Ella said and felt Roman poke her in the ribs. "Ow" she muttered.
She turned and looked at him giving him another kiss and standing up to fetch the coffee-pot.
"Geoff it was me in a blonde wig." She said. "You and Aden were dancing and Miles went to the men's room and there were 8 bottles on the table."
Geoff looked at her.
"Seriously." He said. "Oh my god."
She nodded and poured out the coffee. She had to take a step back as the smell hit her.
"Sorry." She muttered and went outside to gulp in fresh air after a moment she rejoined them and sat at the table. She looked pale.
Roman smiled sadly and held out his hand to her.
She took it and grinned back at him.
Ruby and Nic slowly joined them.
Ruby led Nic to the table and put a glass of water into her shaking hands. She looked at Geoff.
"And what did you get up to last night?" she asked him.
He smiled slowly.
"I can't remember." He said hopefully.
Roman chuckled.
Nic swallowed the tablets Ruby handed her and nibbled a piece of toast. After a few minutes she said.
"I'm going back to bed. Don't wake me until I have to get dressed for the wedding."
Ella laughed.
She stood quickly and pressed a bottle of water into Nic's hand and sent her back to bed.
Ruby collapsed in the chair and helped herself to breakfast and a big glass of water.
"What is the plan for today?" Ella asked everybody.
Roman smiled at her.
"I think I'm going to go for a run and get some fresh air."
Geoff turned pale and getting a bottle of water for himself, he went back upstairs to rejoin Nic.
Ella chuckled.
"Rubes?" she asked.
"Well I thought a hot bath with bubbles and then maybe a nap." She grinned.
Ella laughed.
"If you look in the cabinet you'll find some bottles of bubble bath in there you might like." She told her.
Ruby grinned.
"Does anyone want the bathroom before I go?" she asked.
Ella nodded.
"I won't be long." She went upstairs and took a rapid shower coming back downstairs 5 minutes later dressed in her runners and trainers.
"Come on mister." She said to Roman.
He laughed and went upstairs to change.
Ruby came over to stand next to her.
"Ella are you sure you should be running?" she asked. "You were really pale last night."
She hugged the girl.
"I know I was tired and he won't let me do anything too strenuous. Trust me." She smiled. "And I need to start doing stuff again."
She gave Ruby a hug. Before stepping outside and warming up. She saw Roman come downstairs and grab his keys before he joined her.
They both warmed up in silence before they set off at a gentle pace.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
"Well we are going to the diner I want a milkshake and while I'm drinking the fattening thick ice cream laden shake you can go off and do something exercisy." She told him.
He grinned at her.
"I had a feeling that you weren't planning on keeping up with me." He said.
"Like you would let me." She smiled.
"You are right. I'm kinda concerned about you right now."
She chuckled.
"Just you wait until this one is born you'll find me more than keeping up with you. I'll be back to my rock climbing, riding my bike, running, swimming and surfing."
He laughed.
"With or without the baby?" he asked.
"Oh with. I'll have the baby strapped to me in one of those carriers. Of course I may not have the baby with me when I'm surfing."
He laughed loudly.
"Well this is me." She reached up and kissed him. "Off you go." She said and walked into the diner hearing his chuckle as he went to finish his run.
