I let out a breath as I carried in Cleo's last box. Our home was filled with various boxes and suitcases.
"Why do you have so much stuff? You're one
person."
"Most of it is art supplies and stuff for the baby.", she said as she leaned over to pick up one of the boxes labeled 'Art'.
"No lifting. I'll take it to your art studio.", I said. She beamed at me as her eyes widened.
"You made me an art studio?"
"Of course I did. This is your home now, Princess.", I said as I leaned down to peck her lips.
"Are you sure you're ready to live with me? What happens when I get on your nerves?", she smirked at me.
"It's a big house.", I teased. She rolled her eyes before pulling on her suitcase to take it upstairs.
I grabbed all of her art supplies and began unpacking them inside her art studio. Auri helped me set everything up in here last night after I realized I didn't know what the hell I was doing.
After I finished unpacking her supplies, I found Cleo in the unfinished nursery. She was holding a stuffed giraffe that Auri bought for our son. There was a newly finished crib in the corner of the room.
"He's going to sleep in here.", she smiled as she placed the giraffe in the crib. I wrapped my arms around her and caressed her belly as we looked into the empty crib.
"I can't wait to see him. Feeling him moving inside of me is already the best feeling in the world, but I can't wait to hold him in my arms."
"He'll be here sooner than we think. You're already 22 weeks pregnant, his room isn't finished, and we can't agree on a name."
"Leo, we're not naming him Theodore."
"It was my father's name.", I smirked. She turned in my arms to face me, wrapping her arms around my neck.
"We'll figure it out, baby. I promise."
Before I could respond, my phone vibrated in my pocket. I groaned as I saw it was a message from my assistant urging me to come in.
"I need to go take care of something in the office. I shouldn't be gone long. I don't want you lifting anything heavy while I'm gone.", I said as I kissed her forehead.

I was heading downstairs to get a glass of orange juice when I heard the door unlocking. I turned to see Auri and a very tall man standing behind her. They smiled as they walked in together.
He was a very handsome man. He completely towered over Auri's petite frame. His shirt strained against his muscles as he waved at me.
"Hi, I'm William. It's very nice to finally meet you.", he said as he offered his hand for me to shake. I immediately noticed his thick French accent. I shook his hand firmly before smirking at Auri.
"It's nice to meet you as well. Auri's been hiding you away from me.", I said, earning a deep chuckle from him.
"I thought it was time for the two of you to meet plus I was given strict orders by my brother to come make sure you aren't lifting anything, so we're borrowing his strength for today.", she said. William smirked at her as he shook his head.
"Tell me how I can help.", he said as he eyed the boxes.
"These need to go up to the nursery and that has to go to the master bedroom.", I pointed at the boxes. He nodded and picked up one of the boxes.
"I'll show you which room.", Auri said as they climbed the stairs together. I smiled as I went to the kitchen for juice and a snack. I grinned when I saw that Leo stocked the pantry with all of my favorite snacks. I grabbed a bag of fruit snacks and grabbed a mini carton of orange juice out of the fridge before leaning on the island.
"The nursery looks better than the last time I was here.", Auri complimented. She leaned on the other side of the counter and stole a gummy from me.
"He's very handsome, Auri. You look happy."
"I am.", she said quickly as she looked over her shoulder to peek at him lifting another box.
"I'm happy for you. When's the wedding?", I joked as I popped a gummy in my mouth.
"Please, you know that you'll be the first to know if I was engaged. Speaking of engagements, what's going on with you and Leo? Moving in together is a big step."
"We're great. He makes me happy. Just seeing how excited he is to be a father is the best thing in the world."
"I'm so happy for you two. I feel like I've been waiting all my life for him to find love. I'm glad he has you."
"Me too.", Leo said as he walked into the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed the back of my head. Auri made a face as William came into the kitchen.
"All boxes are where they should be.", he said as he reached to shake Leo's hand.
"It's about time Auri let you out of the house.", Leo joked as William wrapped his arm around Auri. She looked so small in his embrace.
We all chatted for another 45 minutes before William and Auri had to leave for their date. I turned and looked up at Leo.
"I love you.", he said before pecking my lips.
"I love you too.", I said before pulling him into me. He leaned down and brushed his lips against mine before lowering himself to my neck.
"We have to christen our house."
"That's only when you get a new place."
"It's new to you."
