I found her in the bedroom cuddled up to Lucy.
Looking at the clock to double check that I had enough time, I slipped my shirt off over my head, shucked my jeans, and crawled in behind her.
Lucy moved to the floor, as was his usual since I wasn’t a big fan of sleeping with dogs.
Channing moved, pressing her back closer to my front, before falling back asleep again.
My hand went from her chest to her belly, where I could feel our baby moving away inside of her.
How Channing slept like that, I don’t know, but I commended her for it.
The kid was going to be hell on wheels when he finally got here.
I fell asleep to the rhythmic movement of our child moving against my hand, and didn’t wake up again until two hours later, sans Channing.
Stretching my arms above my head, a small groan escaped me as I worked the tiredness from my body and stood up.
I didn’t bother with pants, instead walking straight out to the kitchen to find Channing eating a bowl of cereal in her navy blue scrubs that she was wearing to work for the night.
“Hey,” I said just before leaning down and giving her a kiss.
She turned her head at the last moment, so my kiss was deflected from her lips and landed on her jaw instead.
I looked at her warily. “What?”
“You weren’t going to tell me?” her voice quivered with unshed tears.
I looked at her warily.
Channing cried at the drop of a hat lately.
She cried when she dropped an onion. She cried when she gained a pound. She cried when I brought the baby a shirt.
If it was a day that ended in y, she cried about it.
“Tell you what?” I asked.
Had she found my presents?
“That you were moving out of your place,” she blubbered.
“Fuck,” I sighed and pulled her into my chest. “I wasn’t moving into my new place without you, silly girl.”
I heard her mouth slurp, and looked down at her just as she slipped another spoonful of Lucky Charms into her mouth before chewing loudly.
I rolled my eyes. The woman was a nut, what could I say? Apparently, I went for the crazy chicks.
“I have something for you,” I said carefully.
She leaned back, taking another bite of cereal before asking, “What?”
“Come,” I instructed as I took her hand and led her into the bedroom where my discarded pants and the box were.
She sat heavily on the bed, waiting in anticipation.
I picked the box up first, placing it on her lap before backing away slightly.
I watched as she opened it, tearing the pieces of tape carefully before unwrapping the present exactly the way it was wrapped. “Tear into it.”
