I slipped under the covers and rested my head on the familiar and soft pillow. My hands are on my still flat belly. I wondered if we would live here once the baby is born or if Gavin would want to live in the Villa. The Villa would probably be better because that's where Matt lives, and I wouldn't want to uproot him from his home. Not that he wouldn't be comfortable; he has a room here, too, but I knew he liked the Villa better; plus, it was closer to his school.

As the thoughts of my future with Gavin roamed through my head, I started to drift off to sleep.

For a moment, I thought I was dreaming when I smelled his scent. I thought I dreamt of his strong arms wrapping around my body and pulling me flush to his chest from behind. I thought I imagined it when I felt his soft lips brushing across the nape of my neck, inhaling my scent, and letting out a soft breath in contentment.

I let out a soft moan as I wiggled against him, feeling more comfortable than I had when I first fell asleep. I'm not sure how long I had been asleep for, but my senses were becoming more alert by the second.

"Go back to sleep," he whispered, holding me even tighter. "I didn't mean to wake you."

"What are you doing here?" I asked him sleepily, a small smile tugging at the corner of my lips.

"Did you really think I could stay away from you for an entire night?" He asked, nuzzling his face in the crook of my neck.

I smiled.

"I'm glad you're here," I said, turning around to face him.

He had the cutest lopsided grin as he looked down at me; his eyes were stormy with something I couldn't figure out, but it went straight to my core.
