Celestia
I struggled out of bed and made my way down the hall to the door.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY8WZZyQzI
"Ramon? Is everything okay? I-oh."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05iePVG4ZX
I look at who is at the door and there are two women with suitcases in their hands. One of them I remember from the pictures. If she's his step-sister then the other lady must be his mother.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRkZgG5yGd
"Ah, another unexpected thing, when did you get a dog? And Oh! You must be Celestia. Such a beautiful daughter-in-law, my, my you're ready to pop!"263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xfWGfyjrq
"Mother," Ramon whispers.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjEvsOq6gs
"Oh, quit being so sensitive, you haven't even called your mom in ages," she says as she steps in with her daughter in tow.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLK7EaUteL
"I called you months ago when I was in Paris," he mutters.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEKpw6I1Up
"Still ages ago. Celestia dear, it's so lovely to finally meet you, it's upsetting how I heard about you at first from newspapers than from Ramon himself. Do you know the gender?" she asks after she hugs me.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqYPE8Zbgn
"It's a girl," I say as I look down.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDciI1Unrh
"Ah, wonderful! Come we have so much to talk about. First, come meet my daughter Lilly."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETJzJ7KfZG
She gestures for Lilly to come our way and she smiles and waves as she walks over. Ramon comes around and places his chin on my right shoulder. Peach peaks over from his arms and then leaps out of them, going directly to sniff Lilly's shoes.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqyfQ4aC3u
"Mother, how long do you plan on staying?" asks Ramon as his head nods to the suitcases.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2eBBQWRcl
"Not that long, about a week or two. I just wanted to see how you've been holding up. Lilly missed you too. Isn't that right Lilly?"263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuuZfFEcLr
"Yeah, big bro, I really missed you," she responds mockingly.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTGbKmTw4W
"I really missed you," Ramon mocks back, and I laugh at their conversation.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ohzOotG5D
"Don't mind them they've been like this since they were children." his mom dismisses.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidc1F5TCN9
She takes my hand and takes me away from Ramon, heading for the living room. It takes me a minute to fully sit down and she sits next to me.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC8dop7sQ8
"Oh! How rude of me, call me Clarissa or mom. Whichever you prefer."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxcL9Itrgl
"Alright," I smile.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EuAmEUvCl
I'm being shifted up as Ramon sits behind me, laying me back on his chest and placing his arms over mine as he rubs his thumbs against the top of my hands.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuoCNaArEu
"I can tell that Ramon here is head over heels for you. I haven't seen him show this much affection since his first childhood teddy bear."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA1Ao6pYHI
"Well the same goes for me," I say as I look up at him with a smile.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4zoLNO0Bd
He looks down and gives me a quick kiss on my forehead before I look back up.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6gZUUidBK
"Y'all are too cute, have you picked out names for the girl yet?" Clarissa asks.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyL9Kh6aDx
"We've only started thinking about it today actually."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO72HCZDqE4
"What were you thinking of?"263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjXQtQCIaO
"Well, so far we have Evangeline, Aurelia, Calliope, or Anaisa.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJCZTTz1GI
"Those names are so precious! I absolutely love them all."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLLCqrGwsv
"Thank you!" I say.

Clarissa and Lilly took me out shopping for baby clothes and they helped me buy things to put in my bag to bring to the hospital.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYNbuza6Do
"Celestia look at this one!" says Lilly.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGcerdYbS3
I turn to her to see her holding up a fluffy white polar bear onesie. My heart melted as I imagined my little girl in it.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFNDHAmWR2
"Oh that is so cute," I sigh. "Maybe I should buy it later though since it's about to be summer, we've got a long way till it gets cold."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIVwfnttbx
"You're right," she replies as she puts it back. "Ooh, we need to find something for her to wear for when she's born."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp5RXHvQG5
"Yes, let's look for something pink and white, something pale probably."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAm9slsCw6
"I'll go look over in that section," she says and rushes over to where she pointed.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoDL7fid9q
Clarissa comes up next to me and sighs.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcYJkoWyRb
"You know, she's so excited for this baby just as Ramon is. Lilly can't have children."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u77YgswTs
"Really?" I say looking back at her.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8HE1ropBr
"Yeah, she loves kids, always babysitting and going anywhere they would be just to play with them. It's sad that she can't have her own."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYIjwTzJpF
"Does she want to adopt?"263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAVQEpP70s
"Yes, she plans on it. Though she isn't sure whether she wants to get married first before she adopts or be a single mother. But she's only twenty-three so she has time.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ohKrQmZJ
"Oh, she's the same age as I am."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEVw31ZzWQ
"Yeah, I did notice that you're so young, you're practically finished with college, getting married, and have a baby on the way. You have your life together. Not many people have that." she smiles.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj74sVqV3g
"I never thought that I'd even be like this so quickly. After my first boyfriend, I simply planned on getting my degree and moving on with my life. I told myself that love would come later. And I guess it's true. Love comes when you least expect it. And it definitely works in annoying ways." I lightly laugh.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGryb3jrSn
"How so?"263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7c2A7cJUS
"I remember when Ramon first made advances on me. He followed me everywhere and nearly went down on his knees just to spend time with me. I was too focused on the rest of my life. When I told him yes-" I blush as I remember the first week we had together.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJi1rk48ha
When I told him yes, I quickly realized that he was serious and I took a chance. And I'm glad I did."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuqY0cvMsz
"Mhm, I see," she responds with her eyebrows lifted.
"I found something!" says Lilly as she comes back with two onesies. One was pink, grey, and white. The other was pink and white.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ36k2ed80
"I really like this one!" I state, taking the first one from her.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgGupySsHY
"That one's nice," Clarissa replies. "It's simple but really cute."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcnlLhgeyh
"I'll take the other one as well, a girl can never have enough clothes," I laugh.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIduzHXMX8I
"True that," Lilly chuckles. "Alright, we should probably head out before we buy the entire store," she says, nodding her head towards the full shopping cart.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaTnDoG3Dv
I shrug, smiling, but push the cart towards the register at the front.
When I finished paying, we went to order Chinese food to go. Once we got our food we grabbed my bags, walked back to the car, and went home.

Ramon holds me close as we continued to watch the interrupted movie. It was currently eleven forty-two pm.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRVQomGkGS
"It's getting late, you should go to sleep baby," whispers Ramon after I yawn for the third time.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy4UZjKC4k
"No, the movie's almost over, I wanna see the wedding," I say, stifling through another yawn.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL9DQwWlaD
"Haven't you seen this many times before?" he chuckles.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkFWPgkNAT
"Yes, but I still love to see it,"263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFnWd92Y48
"I can't wait to see ours,"263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW43fH7zgSC
I smile, closing my eyes. "Mmm yes, I cannot wait to be called your wife," I mutter.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaE32KxBSw
"Go to sleep my love, you can barely keep your eyes open."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPdp9q2QAp
"Do I have to?"263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxkYFXZ8iy
"Yes, if you do, I promise we'll look at wedding stuff tomorrow, does that sound good?"263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGMGcgazwL
"That sounds great. Promise you won't get bored? I know some men don't like to plan these kinds of stuff."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMantYbKung
"How could I ever be bored? Planning our wedding sounds like the best idea on earth, I can't wait to see what dress you wear when you walk down that aisle, surrounded by thousands of your favorite flowers."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3XBUAnCsx
"Mmm red roses,"263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJE2mKvr0L
"Yes, red roses. Goodnight my Queen, I love you."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe98wU6yrin
"I love you more my King."

Ramon
As she drifted off to sleep, I pull the covers over her and kiss the crown of her head. Love me more? All the love for her inside of me for this woman is indescribable and infinite. Everything I have ever wanted is in her. It is her. And only her. To see her smile, to hear her laugh, to wake up to that beautiful woman every morning is the reason why my heart beats.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2PChL07DW
"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, Celestia."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw4WYfAb1O
