When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I rolled over in bed when I woke up and immediately saw Ashton staring at me. I was stunned for a moment but I asked, “You’re up?”

He raised his eyebrows. “Are you hungry?”

I wasn’t since I had just woken up, so I shook my head in response. I adjusted myself a little but felt extreme pain in my waist and I couldn’t help but frown.

“What’s wrong?”

“My waist hurts.” I don’t know why but I felt like my baby was growing too fast. It had only been six months but my baby bump had grown a lot.

I took a closer look while showering yesterday and noticed some stretch marks on it that were quite unsightly.

Ashton moved his hand to my waist and helped me massage the area. “You should sign up for a prenatal care class and do some yoga. I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

I was feeling a little lazy so I shook my head and said, “It’s going to be troublesome to go to the center and come home every day.”

“Then, how about we hire a coach so you can do it at home?”

Thinking that Macy should do it too, I shook my head again. “It’s alright. I’ll think about it later. You should go ahead and do what you need to do. Macy’s free lately so she can accompany me.”

His brows knitted together as he continued to massage my waist area. “Am I your husband, or is she your husband?”
