Megan fucking Fox?
Relax love. So Russell Brand?
Fuck you.
Love you too.
Her lips twisted into a smile. It was insane really, that both of them had taken up following tabloid magazines. It was their only way of catching a glimpse of each other during this torturous separation. Though it sure made it harder to stop yearning for him, seeing his worship worthy face plastered all over newsstands.
Damn. She missed him. So fucking much.
She sent a quick message back, then stuck her cell in her back pocket and sunk herself into the duvet covers of her king sized bed.
She was exhausted. After working on her vocals with Joan and Dakota, she requested to head off a bit earlier to catch up on some sleep. Joan had dropped her off at the hotel they were both staying at for a few days, and now here she was.
Her crazy bitch of a schedule and her thoughts of longing to be somewhere else have been able to provide her with about 3 hours of sleep each night. Only if she was lucky. So here was her chance finally to try to chase away the shadows she carried under her eyes.
But now that she was in bed, alone, and in utter silence, she felt it coming again. Just like it came every single night, every single morning. It just wouldn’t leave her alone.
The ache in her heart was breaking and pushing deeper, yet again.
They were almost halfway there. In just over a month, they’d finally see each other again. She knew that day would come and that she had to focus on her role now.
She remembered to lock her agony and desires away from everyone, even from him. She couldn’t let him feel the need to bear what she felt. He didn’t deserve it. So she had been trying her hardest to keep a light mood through her texts and late night calls.
But even after hearing his voice every evening, the haunting ache would dig its way out.
She couldn’t do it. She couldn’t deal with all the press much longer.
Paps always found their freaking way on her heels. They threw questions and remarks at her. Remarks that hurt. Remarks that made her miss him more. And she was fucking pissed and tired of them.
But the only thing feeding her real pain was the fact that she needed him so damn much, every minute of every day.
She needed his touch, his breath, his smile, his smell... she just needed him.
She blinked back some moisture and felt it roll down off her cheeks. She shifted to lie on her left side, dragging the corner of the duvet cover along with her so that it rested over her slim figure. Fuck, Kristen. Pull yourself together girl. You’re stronger than this. Not that she ever could listen to her own commands. Her emotions just took over every time she thought of him.
Just then she felt her back pocket vibrate. She reached her right arm back to slip her phone out.
Rob Calling.
Fuck. He always knew when to call.
She quickly sniffed and rubbed her nose before she clicked answer.
“Kris?”
“Rob,” she sighed out. It felt so good saying his name.
“What are you doing now love?”
“I’m in my bed. Wish you were here.” She pulled up the covers higher, bending her knees to engulf some of the fabric, in a way to imagine hugging him.
“Babe you okay? You sound a little chocked up.”
He knew her so friggen well it was scary. She swallowed hard.
“No, I’m fine. I’m... I’m just tired.” It was half the truth.
She brought a finger to her eye to wipe another sneaky little tear running off.
”Kristen...”
“I miss you,” she interrupted.
“I miss you too.” And she knew he did, she could hear it in his voice.
She heard a knock on the door.
Fucking housecleaning. She could swear she told them it wasn’t necessary today.
More knocking on the door. Why now?
“Ugh. Hold on. House cleaning’s at the door. Stay on.”
“Not going anywhere love.”
She reluctantly shuffled the covers off of her to the side and climbed out of the oversized bed. She knew she looked like hell right now, with her infamous mess of hair clearly intact, except shorter and a million shades darker. She quickly ran the edge of her index finger under her eyes to wipe off the wetness still there.
She kept the phone to her ear, just to hear him breathing; to keep him near her.
She reached the door. Not bothering to look through the eye hole to make sure it wasn’t some insane fan, she unlocked it.
As she opened it, she squinted her eyes from the light from the hallway which was inhumanely bright compared to her dark curtain draped room. Then she looked up, wondering why the maid hadn’t said the usual “Good afternoon Ms. Stewart.”
It took her a minute to register the taller broad stature standing before her. She took in the short tousled hair, the all too familiar eyes, nose and lips. She noticed the plaid on the body she had admired way too much up close and from afar. She saw the phone held in his hand, up next to his ear and watched as the corners of his lips turned to form her favourite half smile half smirk.
It was him. He was right there, in front of her. Rob.
Her phone slipped out of her hand as she flung herself onto him, holding him as close to her as possible.
“Kris,” he whispered out in the sweetest voice as he embraced her back.
He wrapped his arms around the curve of her waist and rested his chin on the back of her shoulder.
She grabbed folds of his shirts at his back in an attempt to grasp him even closer.
She buried her face into his chest while smearing her overflowing tears all over his t-shirt layer. She didn’t know why her tears were still running, now heavier than ever, or why she was crying at all.
She couldn’t believe it. It didn’t make sense that she was in his arms right now. It wasn’t possible.
But he was there. There with her. And that was all that mattered. Nothing could tear him apart from her.
At least not for now.
There was so much she wanted to say. So much she wanted to ask. But her thoughts were too much in a jumble to even make sense.
“I love you Rob,” she managed with her frail voice beat with emotion.
“I love you too.” He pulled his head back to place a kiss on the top of hers.
“You have no idea how fucking much.”
And that was all she needed to hear.
This is the second of my submissions in the series that JenWordSong and I have started up based on the pics that OCD_Indeed finds for us.
This is the picture that I was assigned; http:
It was the London premier of Twilight on Dec. 3, 2008...yeah we all know what was going on, even back then!! BWHAHAHAHA!!!
This is all just in fun boys and girls. There is absolutely no harm intended to anyone! I don't know Rob or Kristen...and as much as I want to, I don't know Kellan!!
"Bloody hell!"
I stared out the window of the hired car as we inched down the streets of my home town. I never thought I would see people queuing up to see me. This was almost as bad as the LA premier. All the diehard Twilight fans who had probably slept on the streets...just to see me? That is fucking unreal!
My knee was bouncing in a nervous gesture. I would try to stop it, but the alternative was my usual nervous habit of dragging my hands through my mop of hair. I can't wait until I can cut this shit. What real actor has in their contract that they can't cut their hair? The problem with that option was that I had been warned by the little woman who did it tonight that she would, and I quote, "twist my man parts until the Pattinson name has no chance of being carried on."
I cupped myself just easing the phantom pain that even thinking about that caused...
So, every time my hand went to my hair, I had to consciously make an effort to keep myself from dragging it through. I valued said "man parts" too much to even chance a strand being out of place when I hit that red carpet.
The red carpet...the red carpet...Kristen in a nice little dress...that sassy look on her face, the one that I picture her having as she teases me with her body...
Unfortunately, I hadn't seen her since she'd arrived in London. I wanted to...fuck did I want to! But we hadn't exactly been forthcoming with everyone about our relationship, and we had to keep up appearances. Hell, I was even staying with me mum and dad instead of the same hotel with the rest of the cast just to keep myself from blowing everything all to hell with my inability to stay away from her.
It had been weeks since we had been together and my hand was getting callused with all the wanking I was doing lately. Fuck, I had gone at it three times today alone. I knew that I could shag any of the Twi-whores chasing us around, but I didn't want that...I wanted HER.
The LA Premier was the last time we'd been able to sneak away. It had been crazy and keeping my hands off Kristen on the red carpet had been nearly impossible. That bloody one shoulder dress had me wanting to lick across her collarbone. And then she had on those high heels that made her legs look longer than fuck and all I could think about was her wrapping them around me. Christ, I'm glad at least the stylist was smart enough not to put me in those ball hugging tight pants tonight. I'm sure that the entire legion of women who scour the internet for pics loved that! They probably spent hours zooming in on my crotch to see if I was hanging right or left.
The car slowed, and the door was yanked open, allowing the bright lights of the theatre and the noise of the crowd to flood in and ruin my dark mood. And to make things worse, Kristen was already there looking beyond sexy. I tried to stifle a groan as I took her all in.
There, with flashbulbs going off all around her, was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Normally, she tried to come off as older than her 18 years, with dresses that looked like my mum should be wearing them, rather than Kristen fucking Stewart, but tonight, she looked like she was ready for me to unwrap her. She looked fucking unbelievable in that black short...bloody hell, if she bends over I am going to be able to see not only her perfect ass, but the lovely little pussy of hers. Snap out of it Patty!
I stepped out of the car, and already all the fucking media were right on me. Glancing over at Kris, I sent her a small smile and she returned it in kind. Yeah baby...give me a few hours, and you won't be just smiling. You'll have a fucking big ass grin plastered across those pretty little lips.
The flashbulbs were going off, half blinding me. Then the questions started...
"Rob, are you and Kristen together?"
"Rob, did you take Kristen home to meet your mum?"
"Rob, when was the last time you and Kristen were together?"
Christ almighty! Why don't they just ask , "Rob, does Kristen give good head?" The answer to that, by the way, would be...Hell yes. The best that I've ever had.
Like I would ever answer any of those vulture's questions...fuckers. It's because of them that we have to pretend that we are simply costars. The last thing a new relationship needs is to have a camera shoved in your face every time you hold hands or God forbid, kiss. I have enough trouble with women, I don't need these wankers fucking things up for me right out of the gate.
It took a few minutes of plastering that phony smile on my face before I made it to Kristen. God, she was looking so incredible in that dress. I felt my cock start to harden and had to try and control myself. I could just see the headline now...Pattinson HARD up for Stewart. Once again I was thankful for a looser pant and a longer jacket to hide my obvious excitement at the thoughts I was having about her.
I shifted to try and hide my growing erection. Kristen slid an arm around my waist and looked up at me with those fucking incredible green eyes, and I knew that there was no way that I was going to stop my dick from trying to find its own way out of my pants tonight. Damn thing had a mind of its own. .
"Rob, Kristen! Over here..."
"You two look so great together!"
All I could think about was what I wanted to do to her...
The lights are out when we stumble through the door of her hotel room. I had to use all of my will power to get through the after party and not lay a single fucking hand on her. There were several members of the press who had been invited to the party, and Catherine and the Summit suits were making sure that Kris and I were never alone together, and even when we were with others from the cast, we never touched.
There was one point during the little shindig that I was able to find Kris in the dark hallway. Looking around, I didn't see anyone, so I took the opportunity to blanket her body with mine, pressing her further into the shadows to make sure we weren't seen.
Her body fit perfectly against mine. My hand glided up her exposed thigh.
"Fuck, Kris. I've wanted to touch you all night," I whispered in her ear, nipping the lobe before moving to kiss along her exposed collarbone. Damn, she tastes good!
"We can't do this here," she protested, but her body was arching into mine and when I snaked my tongue out and ran it along that beautiful exposed skin...she fucking moaned.
"I just need to check one thing." I slid my hand up her creamy thigh and under the little bubble of fabric of her dress. My fingers danced lightly up to find the tiny piece of material I was looking for.. "Damn, I was hoping you weren't wearing any panties..."
I turned and walked away from her, but not before noticing the small squeak she let out. My cock swelled to the point that I actually thought I was going to have to hit the loo and toss one off before heading back out into the crowd.
But...lucky me, I ran into a skanky Twi-whore who was drunk and daring enough to drape herself over me. Just her touch deflated my hard on faster than a naked Kellan (which thanks to his brilliant idea to streak almost daily during filming, was forever etched in my mind.). Thanks, love. Who knew one skank could cure a massive erection in seconds?
Untangling the drunk fromme took a little finagling, but eventually I was able to pawn her off on some script guy who had been using Twilight as his personal ticket to pussyland. He was more than happy to take her off my hands. And she was drunk enough that in the morning she would probably tell her friends that she got felt up by Robert Pattinson. If only I got as much pussy as they gave mecredit for...
The memory of Kristen's body pressed against mine earlier is now in the forefront of my mind as the door slides shut with a small click behind us.
"Rob," she whispers my name and it is the fucking sexist thing that I have ever heard. As if on command, my dick responds, causing my pants to tighten to a painful level.
"Fuck, Kris. Watching you in that dress all night...waiting for you to bend over so I might get a look at that pretty little ass of yours..." I grab her hand in mine and pull her closer to me, placing it on my swollen groin. "This is what you just saying my fucking name does to me. Imagine how much pain I've been in watching you with Kellan and Jackson all night. I hate that they can touch you and I can't."
"You touched me, baby," she purrs as she begins to move her hand over my straining erection, causing me to actually groan. The feel of the rough fabric over my cock is like nothing else. And the fact that she is the one causing it makes it all the better.
"Rob, touch me." Her breathless whisper almost makes me blow my load right then. I can't deny her anything...
My fingers don't hesitate to slip up her legs to that spot that I had been thinking about all night. I know that she is wearing panties, and all I can think about is, what kind of panties? Are they little white cotton ones, or a black g-string. Maybe ones with little pink flowers...
OR NOTHING!
"Kris?"
"Hmmmm..." There is a hint of playfulness in her voice.
"I'm pretty sure that I felt panties covering this," I gently cup her warm sex with my hand, letting a finger move over her lips. All I can think about is, what if she had bent over in front of someone. No one is allowed to see this perfect little pussy but me.
"Ummmm...something happened to them?" A coy little smile is playing on her lips.
I quickly wipe that smile off her face as I rub my thumb over her clit and watch as her eye lids lower and her lips pull into a small "o."
"That's very naughty, Kris. I mean a good girl should always know where her panties are..." I let the words hang in the air as I pull my hand from under her dress and step back from her. The look on her face is absolutely the most adorable bloody thing that I have ever seen. First, she is upset with me that I have stopped my ministrations, then quickly my words sink in and a naughty smile slides into place.
"I have been naughty, Rob. I'm sorry. I promise from now on, I will always know where my panties are."
"Too late, Kristen. I'm going to have to punish you, or you will never learn," I whisper, my voice is deep and I see her shiver. She actually shivered!
Her eyes darken to a deep emerald, almost black. Oh hell yes, she's into this. Before I can even think to do anything else, she makes a move toward the bed. On instinct, I reach out and grab her around the waist with one arm. My other hand is already working my belt. I have got to have her...NOW.
"Ah ah ah...there are lessons to be learned here, Kristen. You aren't getting off that easily." I reel her in to me, her back pulled tight against my chest. "And I mean that in every sense of the word," I whisper in her ear. Another fucking shiver.
She lets out a small squeak, but I feel her body relax into mine, giving herself over to me. Her round ass presses against my hardened shaft and for a second I almost lose it and give in to her. Then I remember that she needs to be taught a lesson.
My lips linger on her exposed collarbone, and I wonder if she chose this dress to remind me of LA. Little tease. I have to taste her right now, allowing my tongue to snake out and draw one long lick over the bare skin at the small indentation where her shoulder and neck meet. Kristen's head lolls to the side giving me full access to all that glorious skin.
"Fuck, Rob," she breathes out. My hands move slowly up to cup her breasts through her dress, my thumb rubbing over her already hard nipples. Suddenly she is grinding her ass against my painfully erect cock. Jesus Christ! I have got to get inside her.
I can see where the back of the dress ties, and it looks like it is holding the whole damn thing up. Just one little tug, and I'm pretty sure all that black material will be in a pool at her feet. My lips travel over the soft skin of her shoulder blade to where the fabric is loosely knotted. Using my teeth, I gently pull at one end of the knot.
"Rob? What the hell are-" Her words are cut off as I roughly pinch her hardened nipples between my thumb and forefinger. She doesn't need to know what I'm doing. Naughty girls don't get to know...
Finally, the fabric parts, and as I predicted, when I remove my hands from her perfect tits, the dress slides down her body to rest at her feet. She is completely bare to me know, and it is the most beautiful fucking thing...ever.
Stepping over the pile at her feet, she moves to the bed. Before she can get too far, I reach for her again, keeping in her place. My other hand is furiously undoing my pants and I actually let out a long breathe of relief when they glide over my hips, springing my hardened cock.
"Bend over, Kristen," I command as I lightly push her to the bed. "Bad girls need to be reminded about their misdeeds, and losing your panties is a definite no-no." I shake my head and almost come as Kristen leans over the bed and pokes her ass out towards me. I'm done.
I lightly slap her creamy cheek. The moan that vibrates through her body nearly throws me over the edge, but then I see the pale pink blossom where I smacked her ass, and I can't control myself any longer. Foreplay will have to wait until next time.
I grab my cock in my hand and use one leg to push hers further apart in order to accommodate me. She is wriggling her ass against me, wanting it as much as I do. There is nothing sexier than Kristen ready and wanting me. I don't know how long I can last as I guide my cock into the velvety warmth of her pussy. My hands hold her hips and I pull her back against me as she moans my name.
Leaning down, I let my tongue slip out to taste her again...
CLICK...CLICK...CLICK
What the fuck?
I looked around and realized that I was still on the red carpet. Shit!
Shaking my head to rid it of those fucktastic fantasies I was having, I realized that I had a hard on that could cut glass. I shifted slightly to try and release some pressure, earning a small giggle from Kristen.
Fortunately, one of the organizers appeared at that moment and ushered us into the theatre. I'm sure that my face couldn't have been any more red and my walk any more stiff.
Once in the theatre, I looked around to see who else from the cast had arrived already, relieved to see Kellan and Ashley making their way to where Kristen and I were standing, just inside the doors. Seconds before they reached us, Kristen leaned over to me and whispered, "Rob, are you being a naughty boy? Am I going to have to punish you later?"
At her words, shudder rippled through my body and I had to make a quick excuse to head to the loo before I ruined the expensive silk pants I was wearing. Next time I'm telling the stylist that I want a jacket that hangs to my knees. Hell, maybe I'll start a new fucking fashion trend? But at least I won't embarrass myself in front of the damn paparazzi again!
She was staring hard at the picture and was mulling over the different ways of how to best break the news to him. But deep down she knew there was no good way. She needed to say it out loud – yes, she did think about writing a letter for a moment, let him process and then wait for his reaction. She had no idea what to expect and she had no idea what reaction she wanted. Basically she knew nothing except that she needed to tell him.
She has been plucking up the courage for the last six weeks when she finally had to face the truth and take the test. Since that nerve wrecking afternoon she had it confirmed by a doctor and had her first ultrasound too. And as she listened to the heartbeat she wanted to have him there so much it scared her.
She was nowhere near ready to share the news but she suspected she never will be. And he had a right to know. She needed him to know.
That’s why she was currently in front of his apartment talking herself into stepping out of the car while the night that caused her current predicament flashed in front of her eyes. In Dolby Surround and in Technicolor.
It was the wrap up party for the last movie and the general mood was happy though somewhat nostalgic. There were a lot of funny-slash-embarrassing stories and a lot of hugs. And suddenly she was standing in front of him and it seemed as though in that very moment they both realized that the reason for keeping seeing each other was gone.
This epiphany resulted in a heated make-out session in her car that was taken to the next level on her couch in a steamy and passionate encounter. The next stop was her bed when they made torturously sweet and slow love for who knows how long.
After laying sweaty and spent for another immeasurable amount of time to regain feeling in their limbs they moved to bathroom where they celebrated a regular fuck-fest. One moment she was showering the next she was pressed against the tiles with him filling her so perfectly she almost couldn’t believe it. They were both drying their hair and she was deciding whether or not to apply some lotion when suddenly she was sitting on the counter with her legs wrapped around his waist. Not that she complained. She very much enjoyed it. Several times over.
After that they fell asleep holding onto another. She was the first one to wake up and seeing his slightly parted lips and the long shadows his eyelashes cast over his flawless cheekbones she basically molested him into awakeness. Not that he protested much. More like not one bit.
After the post-coital bliss subsided and the cold hard reality reared its ugly head they both clumsily searched for some clothes and stuttered their way through excuses of too much alcohol and nostalgia while they both knew only too well that they were sober and scared.
She hasn’t seen him since. And that was three months ago.
She finally persuaded her body to function. Out of the car. Through the door. Up the stairs. In front of his apartment she took in a deep breath. Then another three and then she knocked. She waited one heartbeat. Two, three, four, five …eleven … seventeen…and then he opened the door and her heart stopped altogether.
“Kris?” his voice and expression beyond surprised. “What are you doing here?”
What she wanted to do was throw her arms around him and cry. What she did was clearing her throat and motioning behind him.
“Can I go inside?” she didn’t recognize her own voice and the confusion on his face just kept on growing.
“Of course.” He stepped away to let her in. She went straight to the small living room and sat on the sofa afraid her feet would give away under her if she remained standing for one more second. He didn’t say a word just sat down on the armchair across from her and waited.
“Do you remember the wrap-up party?” he winced as though she slapped him. OK, bad opening.
“I’m pregnant.” Were the next words coming out of her mouth. She had a vague memory of preparing a speech before coming. And this wasn’t it. And he just sat there staring at her without as much as blinking saying nothing. The silence was unbearable but she needed him to say something first.
And after what felt like hours he finally did.
“Are you sure?” Seriously?!!!?
“That it’s yours?”
“That you are pregnant.” Oh.
She grabbed her purse and poured out its content on the table.
“I have the blues, the stripes and the crosses.” She tossed several of the about twenty tests his way.” I have blood results.” She tossed the envelope his way too. He was yet to move. “Oh, and I have a photo too.” She handed him the ultrasound picture.
That’s when he finally moved. He took the picture and she could see that his hand was shaking. And then he sat back and just starred at it.
Why wasn’t he saying anything? He had something to say about everything so why the hell did he have to decide to shut up now? She was fighting the urge to start to bait her nails only barely. Another urge she had was to start screaming. Or smack him over the head with something. The lamp on her right seemed like a good choice.
And then he finally reacted.
He stood up took the two steps necessary to reach her and then he dropped to his knees. It was her turn to be shocked. But he wasn’t finished. He wrapped his arms around her waist kissed her stomach and then laid his head on it.
Her hand tangled in his hair on its own accord and the tears finally spilled.
“I’m keeping the baby.” She whispered even though it was too late to do anything about it anyway. But she needed to say it out loud. She needed him to hear it.
“Good.”
And that was it. That was all he said about it.
As though by some silent agreement she didn’t remember making he more or less moved to her apartment during the next week intent to placate her every craving and whim. He searched for strawberry ice-cream at three in the morning. Drove to the other side of the town for her favorite crackers. Rubbed her feet or back when she complained of pain or swollen ankles. Hold her when she was in a weepy mood. Patiently let her scream at him for every stupid little thing when she was in a bitchy faze. Sang her to sleep when she felt too exhausted to even rest.
Simply put he was being his usual perfect self. And he denied it every time she mentioned it to anyone.
He accompanied her to every check up and his reaction when he heard the heartbeat of their baby for the first time still made her feel a little guilty about not taking him with her the very first time around.
“Do you want to know the sex of the baby?” the doctor asked as she run with the ultrasound thingy over her stomach again.
“As long as you don’t tell us it's half vampire…”
“Yes, we do.” She interrupted him trying to find a way to smack him but the doctor just smirked.
“You are having a girl.”
She was looking at him at the doctor's announcement and his smile almost blinded her. She didn’t really care either way but at his reaction a picture of a small girl with wild blonde locks, her eyes and his smile flashed in front of her mind eye and suddenly she was grinning too.
“Would it be incredibly tacky if we called her Isabella?” he asked as they came back and she set about preparing them a dinner.
She turned around the knife in her hand aimed at him threateningly.
“Over your dead body.” And he just stood there with his trademark grin plastered on that beautiful face of his.
They talked about the name over dinner but didn’t really have any usable suggestions so they left it at that for the time being.
The first time the baby moved she was in the bathroom brushing her teeth.
“Rob!!!” he burst in in panic after her scream.
“What is it?!”
“She moved.” She said as she grabbed his hand and put it on her belly.
“Kris.” He whispered in amazement as he felt the soft flutter under his hand. He looked up at her with tear filled eyes.
“I know.” She whispered back. Her eyes were moist too.
After that he started to occasionally sing to her belly too. The first time he did she dissolved into tears and he panicked. It took her half an hour to convince him that it was just the hormones that he did nothing wrong and that she didn’t mind.
As she was nearing the end of her second trimester she became increasingly horny. Everything he did made her want to jump him so bad she had to hold onto something to not actually do it. So she started to avoid him as much as possible. Which was rather difficult since they were living together.
Fortunately he blamed it on the hormones and didn’t seem to mind. Which was the only positive thing about it because her plan was backfiring horribly. She missed him terribly and she was having the dirtiest dreams ever. She was going crazy and she was sure she was gonna snap any day.
When she finally did it was with a bang.
It was scorching hot outside so she was dressed, or undressed, accordingly and she was preparing an ice cream when she heard the door open and moments later he entered the kitchen.
When he spotted her he gave an appreciative whistle and murmured.
“And I was thinking it was hot outside.” The desire in his eyes was the last straw. She crossed the kitchen in matter of seconds grabbed him by the collar and dragged him into the bedroom.
And there several months of pent up need and desire were set free. They made love in every way imaginable and in some she was sure were their own invention. He kissed every piece of her skin several times over and she only gladly returned the favor. She couldn’t walk properly the next day but she couldn’t be happier.
It was as though the last piece fell into place and now the picture was perfect.
She was surprised of how much both of them were holding back before that night. Words, caresses, offers, needs, wants.
After yet another beautifully spent afternoon he said that they were both stupid for waiting for so long for it to be like this. She couldn’t agree more.
When her water broke she was out with his sisters. Lizzie ushered them into her car while Victoria called him and told him to meet them in the hospital.
He burst in in whirlwind of messy hair panicked eyes and sweaty hands but the moment she saw him she calmed down. And as he took her hand in his he calmed down too.
They can do it. They will do it. Together.
She couldn’t really remember much from the labor afterwards. Just the pain, his voice, his hands and the first cry of their daughter. She got a glimpse at the screaming bundle before they took her away to clean them both up.
She was back in her room exhausted but anxious to see her daughter just like the man sitting on the bed beside her. And then the door opened and the nurse bestowed a little pink bundle into her arms.
She was so beautiful. Their baby girl.
His one arm was still around her and he reached the other one to gently stroke their daughter’s cheek. Then he dropped a kiss on her forehead and whispered the words she knew were so many times on the tip of his tongue before.
“I love you. I love you both so much.”
She looked up and their lips met in a gentle kiss.
“I love you too.”
They gazed into each others eyes for few more seconds before looking back at their daughter. How she loved those words.
Their daughter.
There was a knock and Lizzie stuck her head in.
“Ready for some visitors?”
“Come in, auntie.” She scowled at her but stepped in just like the rest of their families. Everyone took their turn at admiring the baby while both of them just smiled proudly. It was her father who asked the question.
“So what are you going to call her?”
All eyes turned to them and they realized that they still didn’t know.
But it wouldn’t have been him if he didn’t have some answer.
“Well, we are not naming her Isabella, that’s for sure.”
