Faye pov and seven years later…

I hissed in pain, almost dropping the pan of eggs onto the plate. Somewhere somehow something burned my wrist and it couldn’t easily be hidden from Cleo. After several times of this happening we’d made an agreement to just not to talk about it so Eli, with the bountiful set of curls Cleo gave him, jumped off the countertop and went over to the wrapped box he placed on the other side of the kitchen, “Honey, I know you want to give it to Mom now but we have to wait patiently until I finish, okay sweetheart.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD53q6Yr3E
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnznJZw5Vp
He sulked, mirroring the same puppy eyes Cleo had. I came over and ruffled his hair keeping an eye on the bacon so it didn’t burn this time, “Ok but you know mom wont like that you burned yourself.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h6w0so9Kj
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWeuDM8ORc
I sighed knowing that was very much true, “Yes honey I know that. She’s going to really hurt me but you'll be my little knight in shining armor right, Eli?”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54AfEnQ7GY
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ctm2gAo29
“Mmmm that depends on what I get Mama.”
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m9UeNPTM3
“Oh your just like your mom with that. Ok now i’m finished let's go take her breakfast to her.”
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR21k34ZOxE
“Mom’s gonna like my gift better than yours.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa4kWWGpLG

“Oh this is a competition?”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIGBgWIODa

“Yep and I'm gonna win,” I ran the new burn under water for a bit hoping she wouldn’t wake like she usually does after I leave the bed. Then I placed everything on a tray alongside a glass of orange juice and picked it up. I had already hid my gift underneath my pillow when I awoke and the only way for it to be discovered was if Eli played around too much on the bed.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX9xfAoqDV
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58hOjfjVQT
She was sleeping soundly when I walked in with Eli on my tail. With the tray still in hand I nudged Eli forward. He happily jumps on top of her shaking and wailing about until she stirs awake. Cleo sleepily pulls him in front of her, claiming his face full of kisses. Then she fully opens her eyes and smiles at the both of us.

“Happy mothers day Cleo.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q16lreUSu
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrtEg3ClYr
She grins, squeezing Eli when he presents his gift and then at me looking awfully happy, “Aww my two favorite people in the world surprising me! And happy mother’s day to you too Faye!”
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ozqkMFP9v
I placed the tray over on my side of the bed and helped her sit up. She was almost close to her due date with Aria and could barely get out of bed without any kind of help, “Thank yo- oh she’s kicking, give me your hand.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H9OvLAwJ1
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqNjHA68Fq
She excitedly grabs my hand and bares her belly free from a nightshirt that never seems to be from her own closet, placing it over her. Eli sat patiently as we both waited for any sign but nothing came disappointing me, “I think she just doesn’t like me.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj2BmoZs1Y
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpB5o7QdIm
“That's still undetermined yet. And once she sees your sweet beautiful face she totally will anyway.”
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2ef6rIIT9
She squeezed my hand sincerely overlooking my features as did I to her. Moments like this would spontaneously happen, reminding me of the love I have for this woman. The other presence in the room made himself known though when he yawned and stretched but didn’t move from his standing spot next to Cleo.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqhBTpsHSd
He had this protective bond with her and hasn’t let anyone touch her stomach other than me. Well really only when Cleo makes me touch the area. It was so cute and I'll be sure to tease him about it when he’s older. Cleo sneakily ate whilst I made it around to my side of our bed, “Baby come here I know your sleepy. I told you you didn’t have to wake up as early as me.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoEhLtlJ9V
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpkbgrmO36
“Yea but that would’ve meant you would’ve given your gift before me.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToMfwnD65v
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybEVWhc6In
Cleo laughed as Eli climbed over her, almost knocking the bacon out of her hand and settled in between us, “So competitive just like you momma.”

“I’m not really-”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOoEADHm4l
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HJ5ZXWF0t
“You fought with another mom for our delivery room.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5CbuPuWAa
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIlwlSbdcE
“I paid for the best.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7W1sAXEdB
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6hJeYZLzL
“It wasn’t the only room.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54hXqKdiTK
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aX7mCQmq3
“Yes but it had the best view from the window that I knew you would love. It was even the first thing you tried to show Eli when they gave him back.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgX7FZe0n2
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1nhMtWnNH
“My legs were a trembling mess. And you wouldn’t stop telling me to sit down.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9qfuKsJpp
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zE68Fz6ry
“Didn’t stop you either,” I covered Eli’s eyes and leaned over to kiss Cleo. She happily accepted and ran her hand up and down the arm I placed beside her to keep my balance.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTk61nzMFM
“Ewww i know you two are kissing!”
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22X3B3vbz4
We laughed again in unison and just as I was pulling away she grabbed my arm, “Did you burn yourself!”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8poycUx1X
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4FGZOmu86
She looked livid and in an attempt to back my own child betrayed me and straddled my back making me slip and fall over Cleo, “Crap!”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee58L0w4lj
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6O5mLoN1U
“OOOOOOOH! You have to put money in the swear jar!”
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSXIVj5hSw
Cleo thankfully got him off and I struggled getting myself back onto the bed, “We’ll let it go just this once though. But please go apply the burn ointment.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQIZKdZtmr
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTsmWXuctb
“Mhm yea so generous. I swear I'm the only one filling it up and it’s almost full.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30YPyHMK2n
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY4t9hGxZQ
“I wonder whose fault that is,” I got up and went into our bathroom, quickly grabbing the ointment hearing some giggling from the outside, trusting that my gift wasn’t found.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgotYSPjn76
When I returned the tray was gone and the two were both looking at me expectantly, “Come over here.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuP1VzfP9c
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbb1pn7SME
“What did you do?”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPAV6Vqr4V
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAbUlbevAe
“Oh nothing, just come here so I can give you something,” I hesitantly walked toward the two wondering what tricks they have up their sleeves. Instead something white was thrusted in my face and took it, cursing in my mind that I didn't have my glasses on her side, “Though it won’t happen now. I was thinking after Aria’s birth we could travel to Europe. We were talking about traveling and you had it on your bucket list and It’d be a nice family experience.”
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl84BXNt7gN
I got the picture of what it was even picking out an airplane symbol on the ticket through this blurry haze. I chuckled, thanking her nevertheless for her gift and tilted over to kiss her forehead then her lips, “I thought you wanted to go to Rome."472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3d83yea7t
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AlEbWAiEK
“What do you mean?,” I pointed at the hiding spot and let Eli do the work, taking out my own box with tickets to Italy inside. When Cleo opened it with Eli obviously peering in, she only laughed and both were clearly ecstatic.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJUjz9WLfi
“We’re going on two trips!”
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0g6mdxjCv
“Yes yes we totally are but first we need your sister out and a little rest time for your mom.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTczkWIRq2
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxml31Hxk9
It was too late. Eli was up, out and at it like he was on a sugar rush he had weeks prior, “There goes a peaceful morning. He’ll probably already be packed by the end of the day.”
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVNQAid0zk
“Yep.” She popped the p at the end of that looking all too innocent.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0UWmkjIN1
“I am so happy I met you,” She smiled and I moved her right leg to sit in front of her.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGUE1FKnTm
“The burn hurts doesn’t it.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAFBZjmEaH
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2OPUyYtf1
“So so bad. I need you to kiss it to make me feel better,” She snickered and raised my wrist lifting the now bandaged area to her lips and doing just so.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKcj4NfE2X
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpbaa9RCSi
“There all done. And I’m happy I met you too. You really just have no idea how lucky I was to have scored you.” I have to admit I was taking the way she was looking at me in a whole different manner but tried to keep it pg-13. So instead I kissed her cheek and hugged her tightly. And just as Eli came in and jumped on the bed flailing his arms I quickly grabbed him to pull him into our hug before he had a chance to run off again. In one last effort to feel everyone I placed my hand on her belly once more and gasped feeling movement, “I told you she loves you already.”

“Should’ve believed you.”
