Cailea's POV:

"Cailea?" He called out, dragging the 'a' sound. "I'm going to find you so I don't see the point in hiding from me." I heard him chuckle. I giggle as he tries to talk me out of my hiding spot but stop immediately when I see the shadow creep past the closet door.

"Huh, that's awful strange. I could've sworn I heard Cailea laughing. Hmm, oh well." After I see the shadow disappear, I open the door a tiny crack to look and see if he's gone.

I don't see him, so I quietly stepped out and ran into the kitchen. As I open the pantry door, a pair of large hands cover my hips and I let out a yelp as they lift me up off the ground.

"Gotchya! I win" He yelled placing me down on the ground in front of him.

"No, I win." I play pout, looking up at him through my brows.

"Mm, nope. I'm pretty sure I won this round." He shakes his head.

"Okay, okay fine. But this is the third time. When can I win?"

"Alright. You can win this round. But I won at everything else." He smirks.

"Huh?" I ask confused.

"Well I got this really hot chick that I'm with -total score by the way- she's super funny and smart, but she's kind of bossy sometimes." He chuckles.

"Bossy huh?" It's my turn to smirk.

"Most definitely. She loves to be in control, and I'm not sure I'm into that."

"Well, let me show you how controlling I can really be." I arch an eyebrow and take the corner of my lip between my teeth.

"Oh?"

Before he has the chance to say anything else, I rise up on my toes and kiss him. It starts off slow, sweet, us just savouring eachother, and then it becomes more heated and then I'm being pushed up against the wall. I lift my leg up, signaling for him to pick me up. We move towards the stairs and he gracefully carries us up without breaking our kiss.

He kicks open the door to our bedroom, and next I'm being layed down on the bed. He kisses my lips once more, and then my cheeks, and moves down toward my neck.

"Ash, is it okay that we do this? I mean is it okay for her?" I ask quietly

"She'll be okay. She's just 'gonna need to watch her head is all." He laughed. And then I felt it.

"Oh my god. Do that again." I exclaimed, not fully believing it.

"Do what?"

"Laugh. Come on hurry." And he laughed again, probably because I sound crazy.

I let out a dry laugh and tears start to brim my eyes.

"Babe? What's wrong?" I look up from my belly and up at him nodding. I take his hand -never breaking eye contact- and place it on the upper-left side of my stomach.

Realization takes over his face and the two of us start crying. The smile on his face right now is absolutely beautiful and I'm very excited for our little girl to come because I know that he'll be the greatest dad in the world.

***
As my eyes flutter open, I can't see anything. I rub them and realize that they're wet due to the tears I had just shed.

"It was just a dream" I whisper to myself.

As I sit up, I feel a heavy weight on my thighs. Looking over, I find one of Ashton's long legs sitting on top of mine and the other bend. There he lays, the man I had just dreamed about having a life with; laying with arms sprawled out on the other end of my couch.

I feel a pang in my chest, and I think it's because I now know-truly know- how much I really love him. And it kills me because I know I shouldn't.

//:I'M NOT DEAD! I'm just an idiot    :(. I'm really sorry for not updating, idk what's going on with me but I'm trying to get back into the habit.
