Bed was your meeting place. No matter what kind of light was shining through when you woke up, there was no doubt you'd wake up with him next to you. When the day pulled you in different directions, leaving you with only time for a quick kiss, while he looked for his car keys. "Are you sure you haven't seen them anywhere? I had them a minute ago" and you mopped up spilled milk and tried to keep Trevor, from taking your daughter's dinner off her plate. But at the end of the day, bed was where you found each other again.
Chris could hear feet in the hallway when he rolled over in bed. You didn't have say anything, you both knew what was coming.
"Here she comes" Chris grumbled with sleep in his voice.
"Morning"
"Good morning"
You smiled, reaching out to mess his bed head. "Just think, we're going to have three little sets of feet running around"
Chris hummed and moved his body closer. "I like the sound of that" he tucked his face into your neck.
"There little monsters, all climbing into bed with us"
"Three laughs"
"I can't wait" Chris closed his eyes again against your neck, sighing.
This was the only alone time you were going to have today and you wanted to soak it all in. Even if it meant a quick morning cuddle. You didn't mind that it was a few minutes together.
"How are my boys?" You felt Chris' hand on your stomach, that was already starting to swell.
"You mean your girls, don't you?"
Chris frowned, lifting up his head a little. "No" he drawled. "I mean, my boys"
"You could be talking to your daughters" you said, laughing quietly at how annoyed he was getting.
"I'm sure we're not having boys this time around"
"Are you?"
"Yes"
"Did you hear that girls?" You looked down at your stomach, rubbing your hand over it. You paused and smiled at him. "I know, I can't believe him either"
Chris groaned and kissed your neck, making you laugh. "That's it"
"Stop" you laughed, cupping his cheek in your hand to try pull his face away. "I haven't gotten up to pee yet!" You could feel your bladder throbbing from the weight against it. "If I pee the bed, that's your fault"
You felt Chris laugh. "I love you"
You looked at him and kissed his head. "I love you too"
Chris hummed. "Till the day I die" there was your sleepy moment of silence. "What time are the girls coming to get you?"
"Nine" you whispered, running your fingers through his hair. "You get to spend the day with your favourite little girl"
"My favourite days" he said, kissing your shoulder and rolling on to his back. "Should we get a house in L.A?"
You sat up and looked at him. "Do you want a house in L.A?"
Chris shrugged. "We like going, and we said we'd always get one there someday. I miss going like I used to"
"I know you do. I miss our trips too"
"I wish I didn't sell my old place over there" he whispered, sounding regretful. He beat himself up over the decision to give up his old house in L.A, that he gave up before your daughter was born. You loved that place. It was beautiful and out of the city, but close enough for trips to the beach. But when your daughter came along, you didn't have the time to get out to it. You had nursery and deadlines and Chris, Nick and Matt were working more, which meant more time apart.
