Celestia
I struggled out of bed and made my way down the hall to the door.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mz4VIi4Zr
"Ramon? Is everything okay? I-oh."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIBKqTuG4n
I look at who is at the door and there are two women with suitcases in their hands. One of them I remember from the pictures. If she's his step-sister then the other lady must be his mother.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH34WaxPiS
"Ah, another unexpected thing, when did you get a dog? And Oh! You must be Celestia. Such a beautiful daughter-in-law, my, my you're ready to pop!"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatyn8MaZ93
"Mother," Ramon whispers.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeCitcAirB
"Oh, quit being so sensitive, you haven't even called your mom in ages," she says as she steps in with her daughter in tow.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNZK4n1beF
"I called you months ago when I was in Paris," he mutters.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAIyY1R4s4
"Still ages ago. Celestia dear, it's so lovely to finally meet you, it's upsetting how I heard about you at first from newspapers than from Ramon himself. Do you know the gender?" she asks after she hugs me.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoXh1aetc0
"It's a girl," I say as I look down.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquyb6xqV5g
"Ah, wonderful! Come we have so much to talk about. First, come meet my daughter Lilly."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZRd2tnF9Y
She gestures for Lilly to come our way and she smiles and waves as she walks over. Ramon comes around and places his chin on my right shoulder. Peach peaks over from his arms and then leaps out of them, going directly to sniff Lilly's shoes.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfId62WzbIs
"Mother, how long do you plan on staying?" asks Ramon as his head nods to the suitcases.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRKxSUuiHI
"Not that long, about a week or two. I just wanted to see how you've been holding up. Lilly missed you too. Isn't that right Lilly?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFhftZPOnb
"Yeah, big bro, I really missed you," she responds mockingly.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0esvLHPBE
"I really missed you," Ramon mocks back, and I laugh at their conversation.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoBBch8vME
"Don't mind them they've been like this since they were children." his mom dismisses.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVnHEyas3s
She takes my hand and takes me away from Ramon, heading for the living room. It takes me a minute to fully sit down and she sits next to me.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGe4wBljj6
"Oh! How rude of me, call me Clarissa or mom. Whichever you prefer."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLeG3bYXsS
"Alright," I smile.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME87OM7aqh
I'm being shifted up as Ramon sits behind me, laying me back on his chest and placing his arms over mine as he rubs his thumbs against the top of my hands.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByoqCf9089
"I can tell that Ramon here is head over heels for you. I haven't seen him show this much affection since his first childhood teddy bear."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTeJUMFmY4
"Well the same goes for me," I say as I look up at him with a smile.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9D16BFQOA
He looks down and gives me a quick kiss on my forehead before I look back up.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEXygkgsY6
"Y'all are too cute, have you picked out names for the girl yet?" Clarissa asks.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7rr0wmlTo
"We've only started thinking about it today actually."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY3kTWFq89
"What were you thinking of?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQhGh2X3Qt
"Well, so far we have Evangeline, Aurelia, Calliope, or Anaisa.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdTz39sOdX
"Those names are so precious! I absolutely love them all."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauAlMXzj66
"Thank you!" I say.

Clarissa and Lilly took me out shopping for baby clothes and they helped me buy things to put in my bag to bring to the hospital.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9IKgziXxk
"Celestia look at this one!" says Lilly.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf0b165K4j
I turn to her to see her holding up a fluffy white polar bear onesie. My heart melted as I imagined my little girl in it.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcCVKwXh2q
"Oh that is so cute," I sigh. "Maybe I should buy it later though since it's about to be summer, we've got a long way till it gets cold."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Xa02XgIP
"You're right," she replies as she puts it back. "Ooh, we need to find something for her to wear for when she's born."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTZMq8MiGh
"Yes, let's look for something pink and white, something pale probably."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAhnvC4spM
"I'll go look over in that section," she says and rushes over to where she pointed.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLVrSHjx7I
Clarissa comes up next to me and sighs.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLkNnOZ7BZ
"You know, she's so excited for this baby just as Ramon is. Lilly can't have children."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuaQP9oiJs
"Really?" I say looking back at her.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkm74ImCm7
"Yeah, she loves kids, always babysitting and going anywhere they would be just to play with them. It's sad that she can't have her own."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKy9V3raGL
"Does she want to adopt?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1731Ssdm6L
"Yes, she plans on it. Though she isn't sure whether she wants to get married first before she adopts or be a single mother. But she's only twenty-three so she has time.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3mrPHV6PT
"Oh, she's the same age as I am."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2RTd5bRdh
"Yeah, I did notice that you're so young, you're practically finished with college, getting married, and have a baby on the way. You have your life together. Not many people have that." she smiles.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW8bjdoWGO
"I never thought that I'd even be like this so quickly. After my first boyfriend, I simply planned on getting my degree and moving on with my life. I told myself that love would come later. And I guess it's true. Love comes when you least expect it. And it definitely works in annoying ways." I lightly laugh.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX82wwj7fZ
"How so?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWPxFm4Qfq
"I remember when Ramon first made advances on me. He followed me everywhere and nearly went down on his knees just to spend time with me. I was too focused on the rest of my life. When I told him yes-" I blush as I remember the first week we had together.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwnKPnVVZg
When I told him yes, I quickly realized that he was serious and I took a chance. And I'm glad I did."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLIvg4vYUv
"Mhm, I see," she responds with her eyebrows lifted.
"I found something!" says Lilly as she comes back with two onesies. One was pink, grey, and white. The other was pink and white.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstxx6cPThi
"I really like this one!" I state, taking the first one from her.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9vv54SOp5
"That one's nice," Clarissa replies. "It's simple but really cute."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM1lPpORVH
"I'll take the other one as well, a girl can never have enough clothes," I laugh.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiojeLLIWYQ
"True that," Lilly chuckles. "Alright, we should probably head out before we buy the entire store," she says, nodding her head towards the full shopping cart.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitnrPSCrfB
I shrug, smiling, but push the cart towards the register at the front.
When I finished paying, we went to order Chinese food to go. Once we got our food we grabbed my bags, walked back to the car, and went home.

Ramon holds me close as we continued to watch the interrupted movie. It was currently eleven forty-two pm.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX3AEZsjlm
"It's getting late, you should go to sleep baby," whispers Ramon after I yawn for the third time.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEcGD9IAus
"No, the movie's almost over, I wanna see the wedding," I say, stifling through another yawn.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfpOCPJSIQ
"Haven't you seen this many times before?" he chuckles.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFospcbrOU
"Yes, but I still love to see it,"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkbLvZvYKf
"I can't wait to see ours,"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tthVjKOYi
I smile, closing my eyes. "Mmm yes, I cannot wait to be called your wife," I mutter.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOsqUGv6Hu
"Go to sleep my love, you can barely keep your eyes open."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpWRGV2auk
"Do I have to?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eIl1hoqdj
"Yes, if you do, I promise we'll look at wedding stuff tomorrow, does that sound good?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBvVhPzi0m
"That sounds great. Promise you won't get bored? I know some men don't like to plan these kinds of stuff."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UoRG6H2dX
"How could I ever be bored? Planning our wedding sounds like the best idea on earth, I can't wait to see what dress you wear when you walk down that aisle, surrounded by thousands of your favorite flowers."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTirTuBoLs8
"Mmm red roses,"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoJzCfapdl
"Yes, red roses. Goodnight my Queen, I love you."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTjzyY3gvL
"I love you more my King."

Ramon
As she drifted off to sleep, I pull the covers over her and kiss the crown of her head. Love me more? All the love for her inside of me for this woman is indescribable and infinite. Everything I have ever wanted is in her. It is her. And only her. To see her smile, to hear her laugh, to wake up to that beautiful woman every morning is the reason why my heart beats.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe7Zf8tTqa
"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, Celestia."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc3I2fR7sr
