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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnyNHAfelG
"You look beautiful my darling, what's the occasion?" he asks.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPK8lOr4hT
"Good morning, just cause, I felt yucky this morning."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhrlqlnSc0
"Mmm, alright. What're you reading?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQYdN5X9Hd
"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."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vKV0VhUan
"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."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPyDCn1tCa
"How so?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwtbJ0ffpX
"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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdOc0gz4xh
"I didn't even think about it like that, you're so sweet,"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GdCqUGxcb
"I'm simply stating facts here," he replies as he steals another kiss. "Did you eat yet lovely?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh15A3JygA
"Yes, I did."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXXkRRaSr8
"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."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pPU8tvyiN
"Oh right! Yay, my twelve-year-old self is internally screaming right now," I grin.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ZA3m6GKM
He chuckles and heads for the door.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE20oK65DxV
"Don't tell me you were one of those kids that played wedding day."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAd6bAmSwZ
"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."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS1iXGn6aF
"Now, I'm definitely calling your mom. I have to see that."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtuM1AKuYR
"Even better, I'll let her play it at our reception."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhvwFp7SZ9
"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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU9K5qUlub
"Good morning you two."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJQBdBRIib
"Morning my future daughter-in-law," she smiles.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAapUMvC5tx
I smile back. I always smile when she mentions it.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYeMoLVKtD
"Morning Celestia! How's baby doing?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSji22Z5byF
"She's doing good, quieter than usual," I state.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LYz9JG97b
"How so?" she replies as Ramon takes the plate from her and she gets up from the stool.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu0CSAoot3
"She actually let me sleep well last night," I say looking down at my belly.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfC5WcIa56
"I don't know how you all do it. I value my sleep way too much."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPN3mG37OZ
"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,"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjTwh7f5fT
"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."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUlnpkaxrq
"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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQfdWHFqC8
"Still me," he grins and splashes a few droplets of water towards her.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pQ1RoYsQt
"Stop it you two, anyway, Ramon tells me you are looking at wedding plans today?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz34xg2wqb
"I am, would you two like to help?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrsfxgTyU0
"Oh, that would be wonderful!"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNpd4xpG58
"I should call my mom as well, I know she'll want to comment on things here and there."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8LslbmfyA
"No need my love, she'll be here in twelve minutes," says Ramon as he comes up from behind.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRjZoyHiTg
"Huh? What do you mean?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJAK9jFhs5
"I had her come over. Since my mom was here, I thought she'd want a friend and they could finally meet as well."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkW6i4kaIM
"You're right! Thank you for doing that. It was very sweet of you,"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc8NHAxs85
"Sweet is my middle name," he says as he kisses my neck.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPr5otP7xm
"Ugh, ew, gag. That has to be one of the cheesiest lines ever. Your middle name is Dace stupid."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTTxwSRrGV
"Dace? That is such a pretty name. I just realized that I never knew your middle name," I say turning to face him.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0ve87C0d7
Ramon chuckles. "That's because most people don't know."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhZhxqQbd7
"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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3gvVUrxuO
"Hi, mom,"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nJ10cZDwf
"My little girl! Well not so little now, look at you! Ready to burst!" she says as she squeezes me in a side hug.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAckU8Aw8S7
"And you must be Clarissa! Hi!"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgSyIMeeO3
"Hi! I am, and this is my daughter Lilly,"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHVrS9xfDk
"Hello!" Lilly waves.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Pmh8ivjD
"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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO8nXSkspC
"Right, I'm sure Lilly won't be in there for long though," I smile.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvctp43QGHm
"True, alright. Before we get into anything, what colors are we looking for?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwbmX1SIAT
I giggle at myself and take the computer from him.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WbKsefAiM
"What's so funny?" Ramon asks.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPtriberMg
"Nothing, just laughing at myself, you're going to think I was either really bored or crazy."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx0jGufOwy
"Why?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8izfSgrj2
"You'll see," I say as I log into my Pinterest.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2842KF6KOU
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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6910pemWY5
"There's no way-"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoPB10bzuy
"Yep, blame my twelve-year-old self."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeJgd4hf3n
He opens up the summer board and scrolls through, clicking on a few pictures as he goes.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz3Kd1ugqU
"You really thought this through,"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYd7L22BHH
"I did," I grin. "Although, most of those things are probably not my taste anymore."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITeFbzPZwo
"Makes sense, you did make this about eleven years ago."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxS07tLqNL
"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."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UhzTclUzB
"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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePyOdXMLT4
"Are you still planning that Disney-themed wedding?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8MkGg1Diz
"Ha, no. I might sneak in some elements here and there but no."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64dOkjlwMj
She laughs just as Clarissa walks in with Lilly in tow.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xoHQ03Of4
"There you all are, how's the search going?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1moi8ilY8
"We didn't even need to do much, she's got everything on Pinterest." Ramon smiles.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXb1qlRHfV
"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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF1Be4Ff5f
"Oh my gosh, this summer board is so pretty. I love the colors!"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5nkvXR5or
"Thanks, I was going for a light and flowy look," I state.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdWnBcssdM
"Well, you definitely got that. I just realized that you don't have a dress board."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RmRNezoDW
"I don't really know what I want to wear actually."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbZHOGCuW5
"Really? Then we should go dress shopping!"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uckNVoqf8
"That would be nice, but, I'm currently ready to give birth at any day, so I think we should wait until after."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHpWnTLIdx
"Makes sense. Alright then. But when we go he can't come." she grins.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B2tFB1Y5y
"What why not?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjoq1m9JOA
"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."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemAAwrhgth
Ramon rolls his eyes at her but smiles as I lightly laugh and lay my head on his shoulder.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DSWZTwmcZ
"We're gonna take her away from you for forty-eight hours before the day you get married as well."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q2sIeFNi7
"No. That's not gonna happen."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzSA0corYL
"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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2kI5vK0qr
"Fine. But don't tire her out."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8kXCrxApW
"No promises on that." Lilly grins then turns to me. "So, who else are we bringing to this party?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN7hkHAGMU
"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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIz8r86omX
Ramon looks at me with a slightly questioning face that was ever so faint.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyndtFKOcci
"I meant that it would be nice if they were here and bonding as our mothers did," I say.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVmoPiKT5j
"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."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxks3xlT8g
"Well, I'm glad she was there."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAXMA3eJtF
"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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVv209KI4q
I pick up his phone and look at the notification.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqjjAh4cCb
"It's from James," I say. But then I look at his lock screen. It looks like me. From this morning.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGjRL9V1rb
"When did you take this picture?" I ask.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz6CgvO4NC
"This morning," he smiles.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzQGCkYLun
"You were awake?"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2KFxAm8Ch
"I was,"207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wb5kubSFC
"And you watched me the entire time."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO1ZiIMVpU
"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."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pBp4WJzcf
I narrow my eyes at him but a smile plays across my lips.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3hPIfRd07
"You're very naughty Mr. Osgood."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuYIEO9o4w
"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.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu4hJPQ7zr
"Don't start something you can't finish," I warn him.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8aHKENBlT
He simply smiles and kisses my forehead, pulling me closer. Then he whispers in my ear.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQcitjw4Fj
"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."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bl5jKwLBT
I shiver under his voice and bite my bottom lip.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IcJgrA8hA
"Well in that case," I whisper as I part my legs slightly.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iIrE3C2Or
"Do as you please. Sir."207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xW1HTitKs
