Let's Do This

Eight months later

I shuffled around in bed and brought the covers up to my chin as I tried to get myself to fall back asleep. I tried to flip over to my other side but knew that was harder now with this big belly weighing me down. I turn my head to look at the time and let out a sigh of frustration when I see that it was already three-thirty.

“Babe what’s wrong? I heard as I turned to face a sleepy Jaime just as he brought his arms around me and buried his head in my neck.

“The baby.” As soon as I finished the last word Jaime shoots up from his comfortable state so he can examine me better. “Is it time?

I shook my head and let out a chuckle before pulling on his arm to bring him back next to me. “No, just moving a lot.” He let out a sigh of relief and instead of laying back besides me he went close to my belly as he started to rub it.

“You scared me little guy.” As soon as the baby heard his voice I felt a kick right where Jaime’s hand rested.

“I think the baby likes your voice.” I told him as he grinned at me knowing that, that always happened when he talked to the baby.

“He’s going to be a little soccer player just wait and see. He already has the kick.”

He?” I say with emphasis since we were keeping the sex of the baby a surprise and we didn’t know if in fact we were having a boy or girl.

“Yeah, I’m telling you Lauren you have a little boy in there.”

“What makes you so sure?” He looked away from my stomach and turned to face me, giving me a wink.

“I just know.”

“Oh Jaime you’re something else.”

“Let your mom get her rest.” He told my belly before giving it on last rub and laying back besides me and bringing me in his arms. He started to hum and I closed my eyes with a smile on my face knowing he was about to sing to me like he always did so I can fall asleep. As I heard his voice sing me the same lullaby I felt myself and the baby included start to relax.
"Lauren?" I heard him whisper in my ear.
"Hm?" I said as I cuddled close to his body and felt myself start to fall asleep.
"Ma-I love you."
"I love you too."

I woke a couple hours later feeling well rested in an empty bedroom. I got up from where I laid and after making the bed I shuffled over to the living room where I heard the tv play.

“Hey pretty mama.” I heard Jaime say from the couch where he sat. I smiled at him and walked over to him and sat in his outstretched arms. "How did you sleep?" He asked as he brought me closer and wrapped his arms around me.
"Pretty good, feeling a lot better."
"That's good." He said before placing a kiss on my cheek.
"Babe?-" he hesitated and I turned around to face him.
"Yes?"
"Will you marry me? Tonight?"
I leaned back against the sofa as the question took me off guard. I didn't answer him as a bunch of thoughts rushed my head. There was so much already going on at the moment with Jaime being sick, the baby coming and not speaking to my dad for the past couple of months I wasn't sure if I was ready for a new change. I looked up at Jaime and met his brown eyes as he waited for my answer. As I continued to look at him I knew deep down that this is what I wanted, to be with Jaime. I started to
nod and I saw a smile start to grow on his lips.
"Yes, of course." His smile reached from ear to ear as he got close to me and brought his hands to my face before his lips met mine.
"I know this is so soon but I've put a lot of thought into this and there is nothing more than I would like then to have you as my wife. I love you Lauren and I wouldn't have it any other way." He quickly said as soon as we broke away. "I really want to do this now just in case-" he stopped and I saw the sadness wash over him before looking away. I scooted over in the sofa and put my hand under his chin so he can face me.
"Jaime I would marry you today, tomorrow and the next day. You know you'll always have me and I will always love you no matter what is going on. Don't think about that I know that you will get better just like Tommy got better."
He rested his forehead against mine and looked into my eyes.
"I don't know what I would do without you." He said before giving me another kiss.
"So are we doing this? We have a lot to do in such short notice."
"Don't worry I have it all covered, all you have to do is get ready." My forehead creased as confusion washed over me and I heard him let out a chuckle as he took in my expression. "Go on-" he helped me get up from the sofa and led me towards the bedroom. "-there is a dress waiting for you in the closet." I looked at him one last time in disbelief before I walked into the room and went straight to the closet. I opened the door and walked in to find a beautiful white simple yet intricate dress on the hanger. I walked up to it and brought the hanger down as I noticed the gold details on the thin straps and waist.
"You like it?" I turned around to look at him and smiled.
"You never fail to amaze me Jaime."
~~~

"How do I look?" Jaime asked as he fixed his hair and turned around to face me. I walked up to him with a smile on my face and fixed his tie.
"You look handsome."
"Thank you."
I heard a phone ring and Jaime walked towards his bed to pick it up. He looked at it for a while before placing it his pocket and walking back to me.
"It's almost that time." He placed a kiss on my cheek before taking my hand on his and looked at me. "Whenever you are ready, meet me in the backyard."
I nodded at him before he let go of my hand and walked away. As soon as he was gone I walked back to the closet and took the dress I found earlier. I undid my robe and let it fall to my feet before bringing the dress over my head. I slipped on my shoes and walked back out to the room. I stood in front of the mirror and moved my curled hair as I looked long and heard at my reflection. I brought my hands up to my belly as I felt a smile on my lips.
"Let’s do this little one."
I walked out of our room and made my way to sliding door, leading to the back door. I went to open the door but stopped when I saw a familiar face standing on the other side of it. My eyes widened as she opened the door for me and almost collided her body against mine as she hugged me.
"Elise! What are you doing here?" I asked her as we broke away from the hug.
"Jaime called me a couple days ago, he wanted me to be here for you."
"Aw I missed you!" I told her as I brought her for another hug.
"I missed you too! Now go out there and marry that man." She smacked my hand playfully as she stepped out of the way and I finally took a look at what waited for me up ahead. I smiled at my brother who stood up ahead as I walked in that direction then drew my attention to Jaime who stood next to the officiant under a beautiful flower arch. I finished the distance and stopped once I was beside him. He took my hands in his and we turned to look at each other and all I could do was smile as I stared at my soon to be husband.
