Daddy's here ;)

October 15

Los Angeles, California

The feeling of immediate warmth and the smell of vanilla take over my body. My eyes flutter open as the morning sun hits through the window and something moves on my chest. I look down to see my beautiful baby mama on my chest. Her beautiful eyes were closed and her hair was spread onto my chest. She held onto my waist like a baby and the shirt I gave her hiked up her body, showing her beautiful baby bump. My hand hiked up her thigh to her bump and gently rubbed our little creation. Will they look like me? Will they look like Ximena? So many questions and only time would tell.

"Mmm, what time is it?" A groggy voice said and it was Ximena. "It's only 6 o'clock, mi Tesoro. Go back to sleep. I'll take you out for some breakfast later." Ximena nodded back into her sleeping ball, which was on my chest. I giggled as small snores started to come out. My eyes follow her and we peacefully fall back into a deep sleep.

(Translation: My Treasure)

"Mmm, I can't wait for my pancakes to get here," I said to Santiago as I mentally drool over the pancakes I just ordered. He kept true to his word and took us out for some brunch at a really expensive restaurant. "You look beautiful, today. No. You look beautiful every day." Santiago said and a blush crept onto my face.

The waiter came with our food and we quickly munch. My pregnancy cravings have skyrocketed and I don't know why. "How's the food?" Santi says and I hum. " It's so good." I moan as the food starts to hit the right spots and see Santiago start to twitch. I questionably stare at him. "Don't moan near me like that, or else you'll be my next meal." My eyes widen as he continues to finish his meal.

Our brunch date goes by smooth and we're now headed to the beach. I just need some peace with the ocean sounds. We are in the car. Santiago has one hand on the wheel and the other on my stomach. DING-DING DING.

His phone starts to go off and he answers the call.

"Hello? Yes, Lali you can have the day off for your husband and kids. I don't need the protection today. Have a good one." He ends the call and my whole body tightens up.

"Just so you know, Lali is my right-hand woman. We don't have any relations with each other except for work. She's very much married." My body relaxes as he reassures me.

I nod my head and the drive to the beach continues. We stop and Santi comes out of the car and helps me out since my belly has stopped a lot of my movement.

His hand grabs onto mine as we walk to the shore. "It's stunning out here." My voice withers out with the ocean sound overlapping it. A soft smile spreads on my lips. "Can I ask you something, Ximena?" Santi says and I look up to him to nod. He takes a big deep breath, but not before kissing my temple. "I've longed for a person to feel love for. It always has and always will be a dream of mine but ever since I've found you, my heart weirdly belongs to you. You are carrying my baby. Will you move in with me? I just want you and our baby to be safe 24/7. You can think about it. I won't ever pressure you into anything but please consider my feelings, too." His sentence stops as my eyes stay widened.

Move-in with him? Is he crazy?

"I'll think about it, Santi and I do understand your concern." Santiago's body releases a relaxing groan as I giggle. "Let's just enjoy this for a while, sí?" I say and he nods. His hands wrap around my belly and his head goes into the crook of my neck. This is life.

I walk back up to my apartment after saying my goodbyes to Santiago. Last night and today were probably the best nights I've ever had. My feet walk up to the apartment door as I get my keys out. Something felt very off, though. It felt like I was being slowly watched. My hand fiddle with the lock and the door opens up. My heart stopped as a very violent message was written on the wall. "You're next, bitch. Watch you and your ugly baby's back."
