Celestia
My eyes flutter open from a well-rested sleep. It feels like I haven't slept this great in ages with this baby. Ramon was still sleeping softly next to me with his back turned. I quickly kiss in between his shoulder blades and then shuffle out of bed. I paddle to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror. Ugh, I looked awful and for some odd reason, I felt like looking nice today. I brushed my teeth, took a shower, and even managed the brush out the knots in my hair. I put my hair in a messy bun and then wrap the large towel around my body before I walk out into the room. I go to the closet and look through all of my maternity dresses. I skimmed back and forth through the clothing before I settle on one. It was a lovely cerulean robe-like dress that was sheer in the stomach area. It showed off my baby bump while the rest of the dress flowed loosely around my legs. The tule going to the bottom made me feel like Cinderella. I then sit at the mirror and stare at the makeup in front of me. Why the hell not. I pick up my brow brush, brush them out, and then add a tiny bit of mascara to my eyelashes. Lastly, I take my lip gloss and add a layer to my lips. I look a little more alive I thought to myself as I place the tube down. I get up and slip on my slippers before going to the kitchen to make myself breakfast.

Ramon kisses my forehead as he greets me in the library.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNLQoJEm3Q
"You look beautiful my darling, what's the occasion?" he asks.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIikW3HGWN
"Good morning, just cause, I felt yucky this morning."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKRYIY6Ycn
"Mmm, alright. What're you reading?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmlpme5wYR
"The Crown by Kiera Cass, love the plot twist at the end. You know, I was very surprised to see you pick this series out for me."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKqOZC9nPA
"That's because I've read this one, and the eight before it. I bought them all for you because one, I thought you would like them as much as I did, and two, you remind me of America."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtybeBihyvc
"How so?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6hryHcX1k
"Her red hair reminds me of your fiery personality. And she took a chance on Maxon even if she didn't want to at first, just like you did with me in the beginning." he smiles.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtfVIKoiPP
"I didn't even think about it like that, you're so sweet,"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPW0XXmiWM
"I'm simply stating facts here," he replies as he steals another kiss. "Did you eat yet lovely?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xJMNn927Z
"Yes, I did."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PjXhT78In
"Alright then, I'll go make some food for my mom and Lilly then I'll come back with the laptop and we can talk about wedding plans."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIIpTW7iFl
"Oh right! Yay, my twelve-year-old self is internally screaming right now," I grin.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCpEE6OsaQ
He chuckles and heads for the door.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9leBICKrwA
"Don't tell me you were one of those kids that played wedding day."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs942TaPio
"Oh yes, I went the whole mile. My mom even has a VHS tape of me trying to walk down our hallway in her heels and veil that she wore when she got married."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dorD32jgC
"Now, I'm definitely calling your mom. I have to see that."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7d5PUfOnE
"Even better, I'll let her play it at our reception."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BEeg3amnu
"Definitely. I'll see you in a bit." he winks and heads for the kitchen.

I place the bookmark inside of the book and lift myself up from the loveseat, making my way to the kitchen. Clarissa and Lilly were nearly finished with their breakfasts as came up to the counter.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk6QE0r4WO
"Good morning you two."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiZvLTvZ8U
"Morning my future daughter-in-law," she smiles.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkejIhS3Ej
I smile back. I always smile when she mentions it.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG0W4dNggq
"Morning Celestia! How's baby doing?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rvVlVwxV9
"She's doing good, quieter than usual," I state.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76E8fhlEo0
"How so?" she replies as Ramon takes the plate from her and she gets up from the stool.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8DGmFjUEM
"She actually let me sleep well last night," I say looking down at my belly.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpMRGOjEMb
"I don't know how you all do it. I value my sleep way too much."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0XFePzl4M
"Well, I got many more days of no sleep for me when she's born. I have a feeling that she's going to keep me up all night,"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgWgYMqU9t
"Oh she definitely is," says Clarissa as she enters the conversation. "This one here," she says pointing to Ramon. "Never let me sleep for a few months. I had to hire a caretaker just to get some sleep. All he wanted was to stay up. Half of the time it was to simply stare at the decoration hanging from the crib."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pvUnocSi5
"Ha, guess who's the favorite kid now?" taunts Lilly as she sticks her tongue out towards Ramon's back as he washes the last of the dishes.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UnENs3RQ8
"Still me," he grins and splashes a few droplets of water towards her.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaofIQ30BJ
"Stop it you two, anyway, Ramon tells me you are looking at wedding plans today?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqhBkF3rtI
"I am, would you two like to help?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SIIMjyIWW
"Oh, that would be wonderful!"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GKCWMjzQf
"I should call my mom as well, I know she'll want to comment on things here and there."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkhnxG65Cm
"No need my love, she'll be here in twelve minutes," says Ramon as he comes up from behind.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TlLQlohDq
"Huh? What do you mean?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRBOVI2gtU
"I had her come over. Since my mom was here, I thought she'd want a friend and they could finally meet as well."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9Ae3202EV
"You're right! Thank you for doing that. It was very sweet of you,"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3YSvMrsY1
"Sweet is my middle name," he says as he kisses my neck.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQALbhmkXtb
"Ugh, ew, gag. That has to be one of the cheesiest lines ever. Your middle name is Dace stupid."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0flQ41bO1
"Dace? That is such a pretty name. I just realized that I never knew your middle name," I say turning to face him.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms0T21Kiwl
Ramon chuckles. "That's because most people don't know."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfvFolmtai
"Yeah, it was his great grandfather's name." replies his mother.
Before she can continue, the doorbell rings. Ramon goes to open the door and soon leads my mom into the kitchen.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPHKnzI8Pt
"Hi, mom,"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZADomc4DNg
"My little girl! Well not so little now, look at you! Ready to burst!" she says as she squeezes me in a side hug.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrwlA6zo5V
"And you must be Clarissa! Hi!"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJeNEBl6Mx
"Hi! I am, and this is my daughter Lilly,"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2tQcXhRTs
"Hello!" Lilly waves.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj434psyrO
"Hi, Lilly,"
My mom makes conversation with Clarissa and Lilly, mostly talking about children and Ramon and I getting married. I look to Ramon who gets the hint and he joins me as I walk myself back to the library. He goes to our room and comes back with the laptop in his hands.
"They'll be in there for hours I feel," he laughs as he sits next to me.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVr8ncYenY
"Right, I'm sure Lilly won't be in there for long though," I smile.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRRN3n2x5I
"True, alright. Before we get into anything, what colors are we looking for?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjrPkMKNYO
I giggle at myself and take the computer from him.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ8cHX0VWs
"What's so funny?" Ramon asks.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYAJtXyhuc
"Nothing, just laughing at myself, you're going to think I was either really bored or crazy."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsbwG0cTY1
"Why?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRp4XGpcmf
"You'll see," I say as I log into my Pinterest.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Wa0wsEBb
I scroll down to the four private boards at the bottom and hand the computer back over to him. He looks at the computer screen and then at me.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBQOXcnPYF
"There's no way-"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1S9V0kzlh
"Yep, blame my twelve-year-old self."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHoW0fV1aw
He opens up the summer board and scrolls through, clicking on a few pictures as he goes.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybmytrB3Vl
"You really thought this through,"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a8zEDIil3
"I did," I grin. "Although, most of those things are probably not my taste anymore."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MS6VfLqW3
"Makes sense, you did make this about eleven years ago."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9ojXsT7nk
"Well, at least we won't need to stress much about what we want. I've always wanted a spring or summer wedding in a mansion-looking venue, with a big backyard where we can dance under the stars."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGDEQubYOs
"You've had the same dream since you were a child. Never change. And stop growing up so fast." says my mom as she enters the room and kisses the top of my head with a smile. She plops herself down on my other side and takes one of my hands in hers.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1HRxNrkqJ
"Are you still planning that Disney-themed wedding?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo7v1TT7Fn
"Ha, no. I might sneak in some elements here and there but no."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86PQmsQDUl
She laughs just as Clarissa walks in with Lilly in tow.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXltcTYiGC
"There you all are, how's the search going?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3G6BHKRQi
"We didn't even need to do much, she's got everything on Pinterest." Ramon smiles.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtJJ3lkZYX
"Ah, a woman after my own heart. We're going to be best friends." squeals Lilly as she sits in front of me on the floor after grabbing the laptop from Ramon.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ0YtB3zMa
"Oh my gosh, this summer board is so pretty. I love the colors!"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiEqfZmx1U
"Thanks, I was going for a light and flowy look," I state.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWdJngWdsM
"Well, you definitely got that. I just realized that you don't have a dress board."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SrvSD8Ums
"I don't really know what I want to wear actually."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1moYH1olev
"Really? Then we should go dress shopping!"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGsHjQ8e3H
"That would be nice, but, I'm currently ready to give birth at any day, so I think we should wait until after."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsvEdBubdA
"Makes sense. Alright then. But when we go he can't come." she grins.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaACuuQiDG
"What why not?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq3RtT2ndc
"Because I'm not going to pass up the chance to see you cry for the first time in my life as she walks down that aisle and if you see the dress she picks then it won't work."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4K5noVyFI
Ramon rolls his eyes at her but smiles as I lightly laugh and lay my head on his shoulder.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMTjvzOEDB
"We're gonna take her away from you for forty-eight hours before the day you get married as well."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Ji2bThV4
"No. That's not gonna happen."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx2dWwOCjU
"Come on, you're no fun! We'll have a girl's night out, I can literally plan everything. I promise to keep your precious wife safe at all costs." she says as she draws an x over her heart.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6kbqzBOSO
"Fine. But don't tire her out."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXEfxY4FLq
"No promises on that." Lilly grins then turns to me. "So, who else are we bringing to this party?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLb9MF59BD
"My best friends of course." I smile.

Lilly made me look at a few dress styles just to find a range of styles I seemed interested in while Ramon talked to my mom about my embarrassing wedding moments from the fake ones in our backyard to the real ones I participated in. It made me smile to see Ramon and my mother so close. And his mother got along real well with mine as well.
"If only our fathers were here," I say as I interrupt my thoughts.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRni7GR9Ub
Ramon looks at me with a slightly questioning face that was ever so faint.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY1nUL6RAx
"I meant that it would be nice if they were here and bonding as our mothers did," I say.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb3qyZeu7z
"That would be nice, but unfortunately my father doesn't bond with anyone. And it's how he raised me to be. But my mom was there to twist his ways and make me the person I am today."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvaecltZfs
"Well, I'm glad she was there."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTTy8AsgIP
"Yeah, me too," he replies smiling.
His phone vibrates on the nightstand on my side and he lifts his head gently to see.
"Can you look at that for me?" he asks.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuinP6vl1Eg
I pick up his phone and look at the notification.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrzcvhG7vu
"It's from James," I say. But then I look at his lock screen. It looks like me. From this morning.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdW5ef9ILG
"When did you take this picture?" I ask.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylFSXistv4
"This morning," he smiles.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu6ejlAXSv
"You were awake?"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVILyr6oFed
"I was,"209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqN38XypVw
"And you watched me the entire time."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWnOwZckZK
"Yes, it was lovely to watch I might add. Very cute. The second you dropped that towel to the floor I was ready to pounce, but sadly I must wait."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjDNllDlbU
I narrow my eyes at him but a smile plays across my lips.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK4q5G8Ngv
"You're very naughty Mr. Osgood."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TQd5ZCVXF
"I could say the same for you when you slipped on that matching baby blue set underneath. Mrs. Osgood," he responds as he glides a hand under my dress and pulls at the fabric of my underwear.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8NaxBvk9t
"Don't start something you can't finish," I warn him.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaUTDIO6C1
He simply smiles and kisses my forehead, pulling me closer. Then he whispers in my ear.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqpqBytXBd
"Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean I won't stop pleasing you, I am still perfectly capable of eating out that pretty little pussy of yours."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AEHK1D6qc
I shiver under his voice and bite my bottom lip.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObMQGdMnfV
"Well in that case," I whisper as I part my legs slightly.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsUzIFX0nQ
"Do as you please. Sir."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWaj9RDK4w
