chapter 29

*MATTHIAS*

I sigh as I walk in the door after another long day at work. Everyone should be in bed by now. It's pretty late and Serena has another sonagram tomorrow. They said that the baby was a pit small and that she wasn't poportionate. Something about how her legs were the shortest thing on her. Whatever any of that means. So Serena went in two weeks later for another one just to be sure and they said everything looks fine now, but she's still having regular appointments to keep an eye on the baby's health. Despite how tiring all this is it's a relief to know they'll catch anything if something goes wrong.

I walk into the kitchen and blink. Nico's standing there shirtless, pouring a glass of ginger ale.

"Um... hi?" He turns around surprised.

"Oh, hi Thias." He looks me up and down taking in my clothes.

"You just get in I see? I didn't hear the door."

"Yeah, it was a long night. What are you doing up?" I'm still kind of distracted by his shirtless state. I shake my head to clear it. It's not like I haven't seen it all before. I've just been working too much is all.

"Getting Serena something to settle her stomach." Wait... what?

"Serena's up too?"

"Yeah, she's in the bathroom. I couldn't sleep and then I heard her trowing up. And this is for her, though she doesn't think it will help much." I nod trying to make sense of everything. I'm almost too tired to think.

"Where's your shirt?" I can feel myself blushing. Did I really ask him that. He looks down startled by the question.

"Oh, I guess I didn't think to throw one on. I just wanted to see if she was okay. At least I threw some pants on." Okay...

"Nico?" Serena is standing in the doorway. She does indeed look like she's been throwing up, but she's not wearing too much either. Nothing too revealing, but some cute little pajamas that don't leave much to the imagination. It's not something she'd normally wear around other and she looks good even being as far along in pregnancy as she is. I'm not really sure when they got comfortable enough around each other to where it doesn't bother them to be dressed in so little around each other, probably in the month since Nico moved in. I just know that my brain can't seem to take in the site of the two of them not fully clothed. They both look too good. I mean the two people I love the most standing here looking tempting. It's too much for my tired befuddled brain to take in right now.

"Oh hi Mattie, you just get home?" Serena's finally noticed me. I'm surprised since 8Mm sure I've been staring at both of them drooling. I just nod dumbly at her.

"Uh.. yeah. I think I need to go to bed. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea." They are both giving me weird looks right now.

"Okay... well goodnight hun. Nico, you need to tey and get some sleep too. I'll be fine now." As I walk out the kiction I hear Nico making sure she really is okay. That was weird and I think my brain is turning to mush from everything.

About ten minutes later there is a knock on my door and I open it to see Nico standing there.

"Hi Thias."

"Um, hi?"

"I was just checking to see if you were okay." I raise my eyebrow.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"You were acting a bit funny." Oh he must mean when my brain malfunctioned on me.

"Was I?" He takes a step closer and cups my cheek.

"Yes. Are you sure everything's okay?" You mean the fact that. I have still yet to figure out who I want to be with and where my heart lies and living with both of you isn't making it any easier? I don't say that though because I don't want to worry him.

"Yeah, I'm sure. I'm just exhausted, I've been working too much."

"Okay." He leans in and gives me quick kiss before backing away out the door. I wasn't expecting that.

"Go ahead and get some rest. Oh, and Thias?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you."
