"God, babe, what are you doing to me?" I groan as I stand from my bed for the fifth time tonight, rushing into the bathroom. "You're killing mommy." I mumble as I wipe my mouth. I look at the clock on my mirror to see it's not actually night, it's 9 in the morning. I wash my mouth and brush my teeth.

"What do you want to eat this morning? A salad? Mommy needs a salad. You've been making me eat so much junk food." I mumble as I walk down the stairs.

Luke ended up needing to stay for a bit longer than expected, and it was annoying him, but he knew he needed it. I had started talking to the baby a month ago. Call me crazy, but I'm lonely.

I pull the salad out of the fridge, opening it and smelling it, surprised I don't get nauseous. The baby usually hates veggies. It's still only a few months, and I'm showing a bit but not too noticeably.

I put dressing on the salad and sit at the island, eating quickly. I think I hear something, a door latching, but ignore it. The wind from the window I leave open at night probably closed the door.

I hungrily munched on my salad as I opened my phone and texted Luke a good morning. I suddenly heard a bing, then a groan. I spun around.

"Damn baby, you ruined the surprise." A familia voice said as Luke came into view.

"LUKE!" I squealed as I jumped up and hugged him. He smiles widely and held me tightly, kissing my head as I buried my face in his chest.

"I missed you." I mumble. He chuckles, picking me up and carrying me up to our room.

"I missed you more, I promise. I had two of you to miss." He smiled as he set me on the bed and bent down, kissing my stomach.

"How's daddy's baby?"

"Greedy. And picky." I roll my eyes, but smile, rubbing a hand over my small bump.

"I can't wait to have a mini you running around the house." His smile grows impossibly bigger as he imagines it.

"No, a mini you. I know it's gonna be a boy." I giggle.

"How?"

"Mommy senses." I smile.

"How about names?"

"I was thinking Blake, or Damon maybe, I also like Dane, and his middle name is gonna be Luke."

"I like those. We have to think about it being a girl too." He chuckles, pecking my lips.

"Well what did you have in mind?" I chuckle.

"I have a list." He says excitedly, pulling out a list of both big and girl names. I take it and read over the names.

"Lots of girl names. I like most of them. I don't wanna name him-or her-something too ordinary. It should be a bit unusual. I think." I mumble, nodding.

He nods, seeming to agree. I smile and kiss him.

"I'm really glad you're back. I was lonely."

"Trust me, in a few years you'll be wishing out could get a few months alone." He chuckles.

"Promise?"

"Yep. But we- me and her, or him- won't ever let you."
