Every moment we had off of work was spent cleaning before my parents arrived on Saturday. And as Friday drew to a close I was suddenly very nervous about seeing my parents. Sure they knew that I was pregnant and knew that I was engaged to Eric but they always made a big deal out of anyone who had a child out of wedlock. I was restless and couldn't sleep, thinking about everything that could possibly go wrong tomorrow. My restlessness must have woken Eric up and when I felt the kiss to my temple trying to break through my thoughts I turned into his embrace, snuggling as close as I could into his side.
"What is it Hun?" he asked and I smiled at the term of endearment that he only used when it was just the two of us
"I can't sleep" I whispered into his collar bone and I felt him nod, as he ran his fingers up and down my back trying to calm me down
"Are you worried about what your parents are going to do Hun?" he asked and I nodded. He pulled me in closer, mindful of my belly before he whispered
"Everything will be alright, my love. We'll get through this together. But please we've had a long week and I know that you need to rest so please sleep" he reassured and as I felt the tender kiss to the top of my head, the gentle fingers leaving traces along my back I began to dose.
When I woke the following morning it was to a light kiss on my nose, peaking open an eye I looked at Eric
"Where are you going?" I asked sleepily
"I thought I would get in a surf before coming back and getting ready to go out to the airport. Go back to sleep love" he said leaning over and planting a kiss on my lips this time. I watched him leave before closing my eyes and drifting back off into la la land. So when I heard the door to our bedroom open about an hour later I opened my eyes and sat up. There was Eric his hair dishevelled, his suit half on half off, a few water drops still on his body were he hadn't quite dried off. I felt my heart beat quicken and felt the arousal start coursing through my body, looking into his eyes I could see that his eyes had darkened a shade or two and looking down there was a definite bulge in his suit. Getting out of bed and making my way to him I felt his arms go around my waist and his lips were on mine in a matter of seconds.
After two rather passionate rounds of love making one on our bed the other in the shower, we were now dressed, fed and heading out the door to the airport. Eric was squeezing my hand giving me the much needed support that he had given me even before we became romantically involved. The drive seemed to go on for ages before we were finally in the airport itself. Eric was standing behind me arms wrapped around my waist, hands resting on my baby bump and head resting on my head as we watched the arrivals board. They're plan had landed and they were coming through customs now.
"Nell they're not going to do anything bad, they're here to make sure that you are alright and that their grandchild is healthy and being looked after. We will make it through this" he whispered and I smiled, knowing that even without saying anything he knew exactly what was on my mind. I felt the kiss to the top of my head before he said more loudly
"There they are" he said pointing to the couple making their way through the door and I smiled, mum noticed us first and was tapping my father on the shoulder, she said something before she made her way over to us and threw her arms around my neck.
"Nelly belly how radiant you look. Pregnancy looks good on you" she said and I blushed
"Thanks mum" I said and Eric chuckled
"She's right it does look good on you" he said and I looked up at him a slight glare on my face before I saw the loving look he was giving me that glare washed off my face and I felt the biggest smile spread across my face
"Nwah love you Eric" I said before leaning up on my tip toes to kiss him. It was a short kiss as we heard the deep "hmph" come from my father and I turned
"Nelly belly, I missed you so much baby" he said pulling me in for a hug and I smiled
"I missed you too dad" I said and he smiled before looking at Eric a small smile on his face before he let go of me and pulled Eric in for a hug as well
"You did good son" he said and I looked at Eric who had a confused look on his face and I laughed
"Thank you for being the one for my Nelly belly, thank you loving her and supporting her like no other has and thank you for giving me the best news I've had in a long time" my father said a smile on his face and Eric nodded
"You're welcome sir but I really haven't done very much" he said and my father smiled
"An honest man but one who is completely and utterly devoted to my daughters life and well-being" he told Eric and Eric smiled a little at the compliment. He already knew about what had happened to my sister and how her husband had cheated on her and then when she'd left how he phoned her and abused her for leaving with the children.
"Forever Stewart, I will be by her side forever" he promised and I smiled happily, getting just a little too emotional at that. Feeling Eric wrap his arms around me I knew that he had meant every word that he'd just said and I was truly grateful for that. Could it be possible to love this man more than I already did?
When we arrived home, we showed them around our house and into the guest bedroom where they would be staying. Eric and I were on the couch in the lounge, my head leaning on his shoulder and one of his hands was drawing little circles over my belly, the other wrapped around my waist when my mother and father came back out to the lounge.
"You guys are so adorable" my mum gushed and I smiled as I watched my father shake his head
"Christy you keep on saying that to them, it's going to get very boring and fast" he said and I saw my mother shrug before saying
"What? It's the truth". To change the subject my father asked,
"Do you have any pictures of my granddaughter?" I nodded and got up, going over to my desk and grabbing the three sonogram photos we had of our baby girl. Handing them to my father who was gazing at one of them with a huge smile on his face
"She's going to be beautiful Nelly, just like her mamma" he said and I beamed happily
"She most definitely is" Eric agreed and I turned my gaze to him and he had the most adorable look on his face. Kissing his cheek I turned back to my mother and father watching their reactions.
