"You would not believe how great this is to have a hot shower for longer than like 10 minutes Cap", I moan out. "Usually we have a time limit because of the hot water usage. I love being here by ourselves!"
"Well you definitely deserve it after last night", Cappie grins.
He's sitting on the counter of the bathroom sinks, reading a Cosmo magazine that happened to be in here.
Luckily the ZBZ showers were situated so that your head was out, not your body obviously, but if you were anywhere over 5ft tall your head peeked out over the top of the shower.
"Hmm '3 Reasons Why Men Split the Morning After and How You Can Make Them Want to Stay'", Cappie reads aloud from the magazine headline as I giggle at him. "I should read this".
"Why? Because you're usually splitting in the morning Cap?", I laugh.
"What?", He scoffs, looking up to give me a smirk. "No… I mean I never even stay over at someone's because it immediately gives them the message that you're gonna stick around longterm, that's just like... frat guy rule number one".
I give him a playful roll of my eyes.
"I meant that I should read it to try to understand you", He mutters with a laugh.
"What?!", I can't help but turn around, my hair wet as it whips against the tile of the shower. I give him a fake glare, the two of us playing around.
"Yeah I mean…", He thinks to himself. "Its been twice now at this point Case…"
"Fine…", I think to myself. "You got me there. But… last time a few weeks ago was just because I was freaked out… actually the first time in junior year was also because I was freaked out".
"Why?", he laughs.
"Because!", I argue, like it should be obvious. "I always manage to… let my feelings get me into bed with you and then in the morning I turn over and see you there beside me and… well, I realize that I can't ever just sleep with someone casually. It's just not me. So… both times it scared me to wake up next to you and to realize how much I care so I split… or kick you out first. But hey, I haven't done it since and we've spent lots of nights together since we found out I'm pregnant".
"True", Cappie grins, I think liking this explanation. "Well maybe I don't have to read this then".
He throws the magazine to the side as the two of us share a look, smirking at each other.
"I think I finally got the how to get them to stay part down", He nods with a smile".
I can't help but let myself give him a sheepish grin, blushing at him as I feel hot from him and the hot water simultaneously.
"Do you…", I let out a bit nervously. "Do you want to come in here with me Cap? The stalls are pretty narrow and small bu-"
Before I can even finish my sentence he's pulling his shirt over his head and I'm letting out a giggle at him.
"Yeah just give me a sec", He undoes his belt, looking up for a moment, grinning up at me devilishly.
"Okay", I can't help but feel my smile grow on my face, hurting my cheeks a bit from how much he's made me laugh since we woke up.
I turn around to stand under the water for a moment, letting it wash over my face, feeling good to wash off from being at the hospital.
When I turn around he's opened the shower curtain, standing there looking at me with an expression on his face as if he's just won the lottery.
"Hi", I laugh, unable to hide how happy I am right now.
"Hi", He grins, his voice and smirk so familiar to me.
"This is another thing I've never done here… shower with someone", I laugh. "Actually… I've only ever done it once in my life, in Myrtle Beach with you in our hotel room before having the worst birthday of my entire life".
"I'm sorry", He frowns, breaking our smiling streak.
"No...", I whine and lean up to put my arms around his neck, pulling him further into the steam with me. "I'm sorry Cap, I didn't say that to make you feel bad. Honestly... I look back on that trip fondly before… everything that happened between us. But it was sort of bound to happen I suppose, even though everything else in our relationship was perfect".
"And I ruined it because I was scared", Cap sighs, looking frustrated with himself.
"Well…", I shrug, giving him a slight smile. "You don't seem scared anymore".
I lean up to kiss him quickly. A smile grows on his face when I pull away and my feet return to the tile ground from being on my tip toes to reach him.
"No, I'm not", He shakes his head, still smiling at me. "I'm not going to make that mistake and let you go again Case".
He looks at me so seriously now, so genuinely, that there's absolutely no way I couldn't not believe him.
"I know", I say quietly, nodding.
"That uh… that night in that hotel room shower was definitely a night to remember though", He grins mischievously now, returning to his usual Cappie tone. "Not that every time we're together isn't memorable but having our own place for a few days with no one to bother us or to be quiet for for the first time ever was pretty amazing".
"Well", I shrug, pausing for a moment to stare up into his blue eyes, feeling sheepish here against him. "When we get our own place soon every night could be like that".
"Every night?", His eyebrows raise up, his expression turning naughty. "I thought we were doing separate bedrooms?"
"Okay I didn't mean every night could be exactly like that", I roll my eyes playfully at him with a laugh. "Like not the sex part every night, I more meant… having our own space with no one else around part. It'll be just us".
"Well…", Cappie scoffs and then looks down, looking to my stomach. "Just us until seven months is up and then it'll be us and it. It who even you're calling a she by accident now".
He laughs as he sees a smile come over my face.
"I don't know, it sort of just slipped out on the phone", I laugh. "I just picture it as a girl now… I kind of feel like it is one, just like you've been feeling".
I can't help the way that makes my stomach flip flop in excitement, being in here with him talking about the baby. Even if... we're not really supposed to be excited.
"Well you're it's mom, you're growing it in here", He touches my lower stomach which has warm water trickling down it. "So I feel like you'd know best out of anyone".
I nod as I think about that, about how I'm growing a connection to this thing now, to this person. At first it was just a scary idea, but now… now I actually thought of it as a baby all the time.
"Hey Case?"
"Yeah?"
"You don't have to be scared y'know", Cappie looks serious again. "Of… waking up next to me and feeling things".
He grins at me now, I think happy that I had told him the truth about it. About why back during junior year rush I had tried to get out of his room the morning after sleeping with him the night before. Tried to sneak out without him even knowing, which was obviously unsuccessful. Then I'd sort of done the same thing the morning after we'd made this baby, albeit in a nicer way than two and a half years ago. But I'd still kicked him out not 5 minutes after waking up next to him.
"I know", I speak softly, nodding up and down. "I don't… I don't really have a choice but to overcome my fear of feeling things for you again because it's already happening and I can't really stop it".
I sigh now, looking down at his chest which was at my eyeline.
"Really?", He confirms with me, bringing his hand to cup my cheek, to raise my head up gently so I'm looking right into his eyes.
I nod up and down, not breaking eye contact with him, feeling pretty vulnerable right now on all levels.
"Both of us don't have to be scared anymore. I'm not going to be scared to graduate and leave the only place I've called home… and you don't have to be scared to feel things for me. Because I don't take it lightly Casey, any of this. And I'm not going to hurt you again", He assures me, my eyes wide, doe eyed as I look up at him. I feel like my expression is blank as I take in this moment of Cappie being uber serious like this, something he isn't always.
I don't even know how to respond I'm so overcome with my heart feeling like it's going to burst in my chest. So instead I just smile and then quickly make my way onto my tip toes again, letting my arms reach up around the back of his neck so I can lean up and kiss him.
This kiss is much more than the short peck I'd given him a few minutes ago. This time I was kissing him with intent and he immediately takes his chance to deepen it, feeling his arms wrap around me. I feel our naked and wet skin meet each others as his hands rest on my waist while he keeps kissing me sweetly, leaning down to meet my lips so I don't have to strain to meet his height as much.
When we part we both can't help but laugh a bit, the warm steam still surrounding us. I tuck my hair behind my ears nervously as I feel butterflies dancing around in my tummy.
"Well… want to wash my hair Cap?", I giggle, passing him my pink bottle of strawberry vanilla shampoo.
"Sure", He grins with a nod, taking it from my hands as I see his whole face alight with happiness, with excitement.
I give him one last grin and then turn away from him so he can soap up my hair, him giving me a head massage while he does it.
"What?", I laugh as I look over to Cappie laying across my bed, feeling his eyes following me as I walk around my room, looking at me with a mischief filled grin.
"Nothing just… looking at you", He shrugs. "Looking at you dressed in what might be the cutest outfit ever".
I'm just wearing one of my new bra and underwear sets and a pink satin robe overtop, the robe open a little bit so the lace of my bra and underwear is peeking out a bit. Not to mention my upper thighs and stomach were sort of out too as I only had the robe tied up loosely. It was from Victoria's Secret and sort of skimpy to begin with… and fine, if Cappie wasn't here I probably would've just put my usual big fluffy one on that covered just about my whole body. But getting to see Cappie stare at me like this was kind of worth it even if I would never admit I put it on because he was here.
I give him a smirk as grab my hairbrush from my dresser.
"Hey where's your camera Case?", Cappie asks like an idea has just popped into his head.
"No way Cap, you are not taking naughty photos of me", I giggle, putting my finger up to him as my other hand combs through my still damp blonde hair. "I think you've seen me wearing even less than this enough that your mind probably has a pretty good mental picture of me naked by now".
I scoff.
"No not for that", Cappie shakes his head with a snicker. "Although… we could revisit the topic sometime later, but what I meant is that I can take pictures of your bump like you wanted. You know how you mentioned doing that scrapbook?"
He smiles at me and I can't help but feel myself blush a bit. He actually listened to the things I said and remembered them… since I'm pretty sure I told him about my plan to do a scrapbook to document my pregancy about two weeks ago.
"Well I don't have much of a bump right now", I laugh. "But you're right Cap, I've gotta start somewhere with the photos so I can document it growing. Not to mention we know full well now that the baby is actually okay in here after last night so…"
"Yeah in all the hustle and bustle of last night I uh… noticed you looking through your bedside drawer here when I came over", He gives me a smile, referring to me keeping all the stuff that has to do with the baby that I had so far in there. "You know, I typically just keep my handcuffs in my bedside table, as you know, but I like your idea better".
I give him a look now, putting my hands on my hips as I react to his joking.
"Yes I know about your pink fluffy handcuffs that I won't let you use on me", I roll my eyes with a laugh. "Partly because I'm sure they've been on a bunch of other girls and partly because something tells me you'd put them on me and then have no idea where the key is Cap".
Cappie sighs jokingly, making me giggle as he plays along with me.
"Ugh fine, you're probably right. I should put them in the box for Beaver. Along with all the other stuff I gave him at the beginning of the semester that I told you about two weeks ago, I also realized my room is littered with a bunch of other stuff that shouldn't be around a baby", Cappie sighs, sitting up on my bed now.
"Well I'm glad you're thinking about that kind of thing Cap", I give him a smile. "Not to mention, it'll be less stuff to move… I'm just happy you got rid of your bong collection because we are so not keeping that in our apartment".
I give him a scoff but all that he does is just smile bigger, looking happily as if something is amusing to him.
I sit down on the edge of my bed next to him as I start to spread lotion on my legs.
"What?", I look over to him with a laugh.
"Nothing, just hearing you say 'our place' so much is… kind of music to my ears Case. It still doesn't really feel real", He says, serious about how big this is for him.
"I know, me too", I nod. "And it's definitely a big step so… hopefully it'll be okay. But I feel like we get along pretty good and already kind of lived together when we dated last year..."
I smile thinking about those memories, having basically moved in with him at KT when we started dating last year.
"Yeah I think we get along pretty good Case", he grins. "Also… there was sort of another thing I wanted to talk to you about, another thing that I've been thinking about since we found out about the baby".
I nod, all ears, turning to him to give him my full attention.
"Well I was going to tell you last night but then everything kinda went downhill", He scoffs. "And I'm also kind of surprised Ashleigh didn't already tell you since I didn't really think she was that good at keeping a secret. But uh, I got a job at Doblers. I've known the owner for awhile now and I asked Ashleigh to put in a good word for me so... I start on Tuesday as a bartender".
"Wow really?", I give him a surprised smile. "That's great Cap!"
"Yeah I just have been thinking that I really need to get a job, so I did. And then obviously when I get my degree next month I'll hopefully be able to find something better too. I know I told you we didn't have to worry too much because my grandpa left me quite a bit of money when he died", Cap explains. "That's what I used to pay for school, along with trying to get every possible scholarship I could. But there's still lots left. I just want to make sure I'm working too so we don't have to worry".
"Thanks Cappie", I give him a genuine smile. "I- I just don't want to feel like I'm not doing anything. Because… you shouldn't be the only one contributing. I'm making a bit here as the house mom, but obviously that's going to have to come to an end soon because I'm going to have to move out. I don't want to be here once I start showing because nationals would freak if they knew they had a 22 year old pregnant girl being the house mom. I can only imagine the fit Tegan would throw if she knew".
The two of us can't help but laugh then.
"Well you have some savings, and besides you're doing more than enough right now. Growing a baby while doing law school all while keeping things up here at ZBZ", He assures me. "So don't worry about it Casey. Money should be the last thing you have to worry about right now".
"Okay", I grin shyly and then lean forward to hug him. "Thank you, seriously. It means a lot that you've… made so many changes in your life already. Especially since I know how hard it can be for you to accept change Cap. So thank you, really".
"You don't have to thank me, I'm just doing what I need to do for you guys", He shrugs. "And it's great because we can still stay here in Cyprus, I can still be involved with the guys at the fraternity, make sure they're doing okay".
"Yeah", look his face up and down, feeling so much love for him right now. I rest my hand against his chest as I grin at him. "I know how important they are to you Cappie, which is really really sweet. It's one of the best things about you, the way you take care of them. It's also how I know you'll be a good dad".
"Thanks Case", He puts his hand out to rest on my leg, looking really thankful to me for saying that. I think he felt horrible when he thought he'd screwed things up with me last night, and it made me realize just how much he wanted this to work, how much he really was trying to grow up.
"Of course", I nod. "Well!"
I get up now, giving him a smile and then walking over to my dresser to get my camera. My dad had gotten it for me for my 18th birthday, it was metallic pink. I'd brought it to college and taken photos with it all through the past four years, documenting them. And now it would help us document this.
"Here's my camera Cap", I hand it to him, turning it on for him and then standing out in front of him, turning to the side.
He holds it up to get me in the frame.
"Yeah perfect, flash me the belly!", he laughs.
I move my robe open more to fully show my stomach, trying some different poses to see what felt most natural.
"Yeah that's it!", Cappie stops me from moving as I stand with my hand on the low part of my belly, cupping it a bit even though it really just looked like I was a bit bloated right now. "That's the shot Case".
I laugh at him as the camera flashes, him pressing the button, and I know for sure I'm smiling in the photo. How could I not right now?
I make my way onto the bed to sit beside him now, to look at the shot he got.
"I think that's a good one", Cappie smiles and then turns the camera to show it to me. "Beautiful".
"Yeah I like it too", I nod, feeling myself flush.
"It'll be really fun to watch you guys grow", Cappie smiles at me, handing my camera to me as I keep staring at the photo. It was just crazy to me still that I was actually taking photos like this, pregnancy photos. I never would've believed them if someone had told me at the beginning of the school year that this is what I would be doing on Thanksgiving.
"Yeah I think so too", I nod, looking over to him for a moment to give him a quick smile.
Then I look back at the photo on my camera screen.
I was right, he did catch me mid smile. A smile I hadn't had on my face for a long time. A smile that had been absent the entire summer I'd spent heartbroken. A smile that was the result of starting to be more happy and comfortable with being pregnant, and the fact that being with Cappie was always when I was smiling and laughing the most.
"Oh it looks like Rusty just texted me", I pull out my phone from beside me on the couch.
Me and Cappie were currently sitting on the living room couch, eating Rebecca's cheesarito stash that she didn't know that I knew where her hiding place was. We also had some cheesy movie on the TV, Cappie had kept acting like he was falling asleep because of how boring it was which made me laugh.
I also currently had my feet in a relaxing foot bath from Rebecca's room, wearing some comfy pink sweatpants and a ZBZ tank.
I open my phone to read his message as Cappie looks over to me, waiting to hear about what Rusty had to say.
"He said he has a surprise for me", I laugh slightly, looking up from my phone to Cappie.
Cappie just smiles, his expression turning into a smirk, and I immediately know he's in on this.
"You wouldn't have anything to do with this surprise would you Cap?", I sit up from my spot on the couch slightly, to give him a knowing look.
"Well… maybe… when you were doing your hair earlier I may have texted Rusty with an idea", Cappie shrugs like it's no big deal.
"And that idea would be?", I keep questioning him with a giggle, taking my feet out of the warm foot bath they were in.
"Well we're here in this giant house, all alone, which is super awesome. But it's also pretty conducive to hosting a lot of people so… I told Rusty that he and Dale should bring dinner here", Cappie explains. "Obviously if that's okay with you. But I did sort of promise Ashleigh that I'd give you at least some semblance of a decent Thanksgiving dinner this weekend. And if Dale is cooking it it'll definitely be better than what your brother and Spidey attempted to cook up yesterday".
I can't help but laugh, thinking about Rusty and his new little brother trying to cook the turkey on the KT's barbecue and failing.
"Aw that sounds good", I grin.
"Cool", Cappie nods. "Here, I'll dry your feet".
He smirks and gestures for me to put my feet up on his lap, him on the opposite end of the couch holding the towel I'd brought down.
I put my damp feet in his lap as he dries them off, unable to hide the way my face hurts my smiling from being with him today.
"Thanks", I let out softly.
"Yeah no problem", He nods. "So you're okay if all the guys come over here too? I'll do my best to make sure they don't ransack the house".
Cappie scoffs.
"Well if they do they'll have Rebecca to deal with", I laugh. "Who I don't think any of them want to face… and they'll also probably having Dale keeping them in line. He cares about this house a little too much for someone who is just our hasher".
Me and Cappie laugh as I point that out.
"Yeah you're right, Dale has a certain leadership quality to him, like a cult leader. Must come from his Jesus obsession", Cappie jokes as I giggle.
I sit up from my spot now to move onto him, leaning in to give him a hug which I think surprises him a little.
"Thanks Cap, I think it'll be really fun to have Thanksgiving here", I grin at him when we part from hugging. "And… I could really use some fun after yesterday".
"Yeah of course", Cappie nods, smirking at me as he keeps his arm wrapped around me on the couch. "I'm kind of a big fan of Thanksgiving now… even though I never celebrated it growing up, last year turned me into a fan".
He gives me a devilish look now as I feel myself blush a bit, thinking about this time last year when we'd finally gotten back together.
"Well… it's weird to think that next one we'll be spending it together with our baby", I say, taking a breath in, still pretty nervous about it.
"I know right", Cappie nods, me laying my head against his shoulder, the two of us laying here for a second until he eventually speaks again. "You saying that you know for sure we're gonna spend it together with the baby next year is a pretty good thing to hear Case… since I wasn't sure if you expected to like… do things like that together with it or whether we were going to be those typical co parents who trade off holidays and stuff".
Cappie lets out a slight scoff, trying to seem like he was just joking maybe, but I can tell it's truly weighing on his mind, that his concern about this is real.
"I guess I just don't want the way we feel about each other at different points in our relationship to ever effect it", He says with a shrug, looking down at my stomach.
"Cap…", I let out softly and then turn my head to look up at him, seeing a serious expression on his face. I think about what I want to say for a moment before speaking. "There are obviously so many obstacles with this baby… like, so many".
I sigh and then look up to make sure I look right in his eyes when I say this.
"But how I feel about you has never been one of them", I let him know. "I… I know we'll spend holidays together because… because I want to and because we're us. Even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else".
"Okay good", His whole faces changes with the smile that comes over him. "Because that's what I want too. I didn't experience it but I know that cliche thing with, you know, parents who aren't together trading their kid off every weekend, every holiday, every birthday. And maybe it's just wishful thinking but I really don't want our kid to have to go through that if we could avoid it".
"I don't want that for them either", I nod up and down. "And… I don't know exactly how things are going to go Cap. But I do know that you're him or her's dad and you're always going to be one of the most important people in my life, that's never going to change… even if you do annoy me from time to time".
My face turns into a joking glare as I giggle at him.
"Ah yes", he smirks. "Well 'nice hat' was pretty crappy of me, even I have to admit".
"Yeah I kinda don't even know how I'm pregnant with your baby after that", I scoff, kidding with him.
"I know", Cappie sighs. "I'm sorry. I just physically couldn't say goodbye to you Casey… so that's what ended up coming out".
"I know, it's okay", I hold onto his arm, fingers trailing his bicep. "And… I never mentioned it but… it honestly meant a lot that you came to my graduation Cappie. I'm kind of ashamed to admit this but I spent pretty much the entire day worrying if you'd show up or not. I looked around in the audience everywhere looking for your face".
"You did?", He seems a little surprised, happy too.
"Yeah", I nod. "I was just really hoping you'd show up… because obviously there were no KT guys graduating so I knew that if you showed up that meant that it was for me. Meant that you still cared, that even though we broke up three weeks before and had that fight on Cinco De Mayo, that you still… loved me".
"Well nothing was going to keep me away Case. I was so proud of you, I couldn't imagine not being there for it", He grins. "I was initially wondering whether to just kind of hide in the back so you wouldn't know I was there and so we wouldn't have to talk but… then I went ahead and said the world's most stupid thing to you instead of just saying 'congratulations'".
Cappie shakes his head with a scoff like he's kicking himself.
"It's just that if I had it would have felt so final. So wrapped up, like closure before you went to Washington. And I didn't want closure Case", He looks at me seriously. "I didn't want us to have closure, I just wanted you back".
"Well…", I pause for a moment to lock eyes with him, feeling nervous and excited when I do. "I'm right here sitting beside you right now, aren't I?"
I give him a look now, smirking at him as I watch his serious expression turn softer.
"And pregnant with our baby no less", Cappie adds with a laugh.
"Yep", I shake my head, laughing at the absurdity of this whole thing even after having gotten used to it now, to the idea of being pregnant. "Which is also kind of something I wanted to talk to you a bit about…"
He sits up a little straighter, looking inquisitive right now, looking like I have his full attention.
"Remember the day we found out and you suggested that maybe we should just try to be happy about it?", I say.
"Yeah", he nods.
"Well at the time I had no idea if I'd ever get there… and then the past two or three weeks of knowing about it I've just been kind of tolerating it. You know, just kind of accepting it even though I sort of wished it didn't happen", I explain, feeling a little guilty for the way I felt about it when I initially found out. "But then things slowly started to change… I started to grow more feelings for it, especially after hearing it's heartbeat the other day. And now, after last night and realizing that there was the real potential of losing it… well now I'm there Cap. I'm actually happy about it. And… I'm not saying this to hear you say that you're happy too, because it's okay if you're not, I just-"
He cuts me off by leaning in to kiss me gently, taking my breath away for a second. But once I feel his lips on mine I feel myself soften into him, moaning as I deepen the kiss, reaching out to rest my hand on his jaw.
When we part I'm a little out of breath from my rambling, and even more so from him surprising me with a kiss.
"I'm happy too, I promise Case", He assures me, not out of breath at all, looking so sure of this, speaking strongly. "I've started to feel it too, what you were describing. And… after last night I feel like I've fully accepted it, fully accepted that our lives aren't going to be like we thought, but maybe that's a good thing. And now, after experiencing this with you the past few weeks, I honestly wouldn't want it any other way. Even if it's going to be really hard".
I can't help but grin now, biting down on my lip to try to hide the way I'm smiling.
"It is going to be really hard", I nod. "But I feel up to it now, because I actually want this Cappie".
"Me too", He nods, speaking softly, letting his blue eyes sink into mine to let me know he was serious about this.
"The next step is just going to be telling my parents", I sigh. "Which is not going to go well. I just don't even want to think about it right now because I know they'll try their best to take away the way I feel about the baby now".
I groan, leaning back into the couch.
"Well…", Cappie thinks to himself. "That's still a few weeks away so right now why don't we just focus on being happy you're still pregnant and having a good time with our friends?"
He gives me a smile, resting his hand on my knee.
"Yeah", I nod up and down. "Yeah I think I can do that. And Cappie?"
"Yeah?", he nods.
"If you want to tell the KT guys that come over tonight you can", I tell him. "I mean obviously people are finding out thanks to my loose lipped best friend".
The two of us laugh at Ashleigh being unable to keep a secret.
"I mean, we know the baby's okay now, so you can tell them if you want", I nod.
"Okay", he smiles. "That would be really awesome. And trust me, they won't be judgey or mean about it, I think they'll just be really happy for us, for me especially".
"Why you especially?", I ask.
"Because they all know how much I want to be with you", Cappie scoffs. "Most of them have been around this whole time we've been… whatever we are".
We both awkwardly laugh a bit then.
"They just know how much I love you so… I think they'll know that even though this is sort of all of our collective biggest fear at KT, you know, getting someone pregnant, they'll know that I'm happy about doing this with you", He nods, grinning at me.
"Good", I give him a giddy smile. "Well… what do you say? I think I should probably put something other than this on before everyone gets here, right?"
I giggle, looking down at the sweatpants and tank top I'm wearing.
"Well I like you in whatever, so it doesn't matter to me", He smirks.
"Thank you for saying that…", I laugh. "But I don't think Rebecca will agree. So I'm gonna go make myself a bit more presentable. And then clean up down here before Rebecca comes home and sees that I stole her cheeseritos and her expensive foot bath thingy".
The two of us laugh.
"Hey don't worry, I'll clean up", Cappie waves it off. "You just go get pretty. Or even prettier, I mean".
"Thanks Cap", I can't help but blush at him, getting up onto my feet as he follows suit. Then I lean up to plant a kiss on his cheek, giving him a quick smile before going upstairs to my bedroom.
Even with all the anxiety of last night this Thanksgiving weekend still may rival how good last years was.
Because I'd been scared to tell him, scared to tell him that I was now happy about the baby, happy that I'm pregnant.
But he felt the same way, and now I knew for sure. Knew for sure that even if my parents were going to kill me, even if our friends didn't understand our relationship, and even if we had next to nothing planned out… I knew we both wanted this now. And that was really all that mattered to me at the moment.
Author's Note:
Sorry I didn't get to the dinner part yet! It's going to be very fun and have a lot of funny moments though. I just wanted to do this chapter of sweet Cappie and Casey fluff first!
Thanks for reading! Stay tuned.
