HEY SORRY FOR NOT UPDATEING IN A WHILE, I JUST HAVE NOT HAD ANY MOTIVATION. ANYWAY THIS IS ALONG WAY FROM THE END (I THINK) SO PLEASE ENJOY AND REVIEW.

Lizzie sat on the balcony of the apartment looking out over the bay. Dylan had been out at sea for a week, and was due home soon. Closing her eyes, she felt the light breeze wash over her. With her eyes closed she failed to hear the door to the apartment open and Dylan walk in. Turning on her heal, lizzie walked straight in to his arms.

"God, you stink," lizzie said holding her breath so as not to breath in the stench of rotting fish, "Before I do anything you need a shower," she added pushing him towards the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, Dylan reappeared, dressed in shorts and a tank top.

"Am I now respectable to grace your presence," he asked pulling her towards him in to a hug. "I missed you" he said in to her hair breathing in the smell of her shampoo.

"Yes, and I missed you as well," she added her head resting in his chest breathing in the smell of his soap.

freeing herself, lizzie walked over to the kitchen and poured coffee into cup and passed it to him.

"Thank you," he said taking a large swig. "How about I take you out for breakfast," he said

looking over at the clock lizzie nodded "But It would be more brunch," she said "I will just get dressed," she added waking towards the bedroom. Pulling out a light shirt dress, in a light blue, lizzie stepped in to it and pulled it up and slipped her arms in. Doing the buttons up lizzie felt the fabric strain against her growing bump. Picking up a cardigan, lizzie slipped her feet in to her ballet flats and walked out and picked up her bag and pulled out her compact. "Ready, although we may have to go shopping, as soon I am going to need new clothes," she said applying powder over her face and applied some lipstick.

Sitting in the café, lizzie looked over the menu before choosing pancakes with blueberry compote and cream. "What," she said as Dylan smiled "nothing," he said as he ordered a breakfast burger with two lots of fries. "The extra fries are for you, to stop you taking mine," he added taking her hand and brushing his thumb over her fingers.

"So thoughtful, but pinched fries always taste better," she said leaning over and brushed a kiss over his lips.

Taking a sip of the tea that she had just poured, lizzie asked "how was the patrol?"

"Same as ever, stopping FFEs, that's why I smelt of fish, we pulled one on our way back, same as ever," he said as their food arrived. Lizzie lent over the table and swiped a fry from Dylan's plate and ate it, before starting to eat her pancakes. Dylan pushed the second bowl of fries towards her and watched in amusement as she dipped the salty fries in to the blueberry compote and ate them.

"Nice combination," Dylan said smiling at her.

"It is as it happens," she said dipping a fry in to the compote and placing it in his mouth for him to try.

"Fair point. Its ok,"

Finishing their meals, lizzie stood up and walked in to the sunshine as Dylan paid for the food before joining her. Slipping her hand in to his, they made their way to the clothes shops that lizzie wanted to visit to buy the larger clothes to accommodate her growing belly.

Lizzie wandered into a shop and began browsing the racks and pulled off a few vintage inspired dresses that would suit her style and be comfy for her. Taking them over to the till to pay, lizzie turned to see Dylan on the phone. From the look on his face, she could tell something was up. Handing her dresses over lizzie paid for them and looked for Dylan, she finally found him outside still on the phone.

"Yes sir, I will be there in an hour," he said before ending the call and turning to lizzie. "I just have to clear some things up, you ready, I will drop you back home on the way,"

"Ok," lizzie said smiling weakly "I'm a little tired anyway," she added walking towards where they had parked the car.

Lizzie put her dresses away and made herself some late lunch and waited for Dylan to return, picking up her embroidery lizzie began to finish off the baby grow she had started and as she placed the stiches, she could feel her eyes getting heaver and sleep start to wash over her. placing her sewing on to the coffee table lizzie lay down on the sofa and brought her feet up and drifted off into a deep sleep.

Lizzie awoke to find a blanket over her and to see Dylan in the kitchen cooking. Sitting up she rolled her shoulders to get rid of the knots that had formed from sleeping on the sofa, before standing up and walking over to him.

"Hey, what time did you get back," she said sleepily wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head on his back

"About an hour ago, you were sleeping so I did not want to wake you," he said turning around and placing a kiss on to her forehead before kissing her lips. "I'm doing chicken and noodles for dinner," he added

"Sounds nice, I'm going to get changed," she said walking towards the bedroom.

"Ok dinner won't be long,"

Lizzie quickly changed into her pjs and removed her makeup and walked out just as Dylan was placing the plates on to the table. Walking over lizzie sat down and pulled the plate towards her and started eating.

"Did you get everything sorted," she asked before taking a bite of the chicken.

"Yeah, it was just an admin thing, nothing to worry about," he said taking a sip of the beer he had before finishing his noodles.

Picking up the empty plates, Dylan took them over to the sink and started to fill it with hot water do wash them up. Lizzie moved from the table towards the sink grabbed a towel and started to dry the plates before putting them away.

Sitting on the sofa, lizzie leaning in to Dylan, she closed her eyes as her head rested on his chest and started to lightly snore.

"Come on sleeping beauty, let's get you to bed," Dylan said scooping her up and carrying her in to the bedroom, and placed her on the bed. "Night," he said before stripping off and sliding in to the bed next to her. Wrapping his arm around her he pulled her close to him so her head was resting on his chest and he too fell in to a deep sleep.

Lizzie woke with the sun streaming through the window, freeing herself from Dylan embrace and walked to the bathroom. Washing her face, lizzie looked up at the mirror and her reflection. Grabbing the face cloth that was with her cleanser, lizzie removed the residue as from behind Dylan walked in and wrapped his arms around, her and kissed her neck.

"Morning, care to join me?" he said in to her neck placing another kiss there, before letting her go and pulling her towards the shower.

"As tempting as those sounds, I am going to have to decline, I have a hospital appointment, and I need to get ready," she said freeing herself, and waked back in to their bedroom.

pulling on a pair of wide legged trousers and a striped top, slipping on her flat shoes.

walking in to the lounge, lizzie poured herself a glass of orange juice and sat at the table and waited for Dylan to get dressed.

Lizzie lay on the couch in the scan room waiting for the sonographer to arrive, Dylan sat in the chair next to her. His phone rang loudly and lizzie staired at phone rang loudly and lizzie staired at him.

"Sorry," he said as he pressed ignore ending the call as the sonographer walked in and sat down on the wheely stool next to the ultrasound machine.

"Ok, so lets have a look," the sonographer said moving the probe over lizzie's stomach. The loud rhythmic thudding of their baby's heart beat could be heard. "Everything looks ok," she added passing lizzie some tissue to wipe the jelly off her belly. Sitting up lizzie pulled her top down and pushed herself off the couch. Picking up her bag from the chair next to Dylan, lizzie headed out of the clinic. Dylan followed pulling out his phone to check the voicemail message that had been left.
"Who was the call from," lizzie asked as they got in to the car.
"The boss, we may be crash sailed, one of the other patrol boats has failed an inspection," he said getting in to the driver's side and pulling the door close. Leaning over he kissed her before starting the car and driving towards their home.
"Can we stop for food," lizzie asked as they passed her favoured lunch spot
"Yeah," Dylan said turning in to the car park.
"Have I told you how much I love you lately," she said, smiling
"Yes," he said placing a kiss on to her lips, brushing a stray hair behind her ear.
