The next morning I wake up desperate for a pee. Trying to get up, I realise I'm trapped by Xavier's cage like arms, that are wrapped around me tightly.

Wiggling to try get loose, I finally manage to get off the bed, and rush to the bathroom to do my business. Once I'm done, I realise we're at Xavier's house. Looking in the mirror, I groan loudly. My hair looks like a birds nested in it overnight.

Turning on the shower, I wait for it to warm up, grabbing a huge towel from the stack I know Xavier keeps in here.

Stepping under the warm water, I instantly relax, and get cleaned up.

Once out and dried, I wrap the towel around me and rush into Xaviers closet to borrow some clothes from him.

Entering the closet I freeze, as I come face to chest with a half naked Xavier. We stare at each other for a minute, before Xavier moves to me quickly grabbing me around the waist gently.

"Mio amore, good morning." He says smiling at me.

"Morning. I thought you'd still be asleep, you didn't stir when I left the bed. I was going to make us some breakfast." I reply, leaning against him.

He's staring at me again, and I'm not sure why.

He kisses me quickly, startling me, then moves back, and looks at me as if gauging my reaction. I pull him closer and kiss him, showing how much I missed him.

He groans and picks me up, making me squeal in shock, wrapping my legs around him as best as I could with my bump, and cling onto his shoulders tightly. He laughs at me, and carries me back into the bedroom.

Placing me gently down onto the bed, he crawls over me and leans down to kiss me.

He releases my mouth quickly, and starts kissing a hot trail down my neck and collar bone, making me shiver.

"Do you want me, mio amore?" He asks me nervously.

"Always." I reply honestly.

He smirks at me, and leans down capturing a pebbled nîpple into his mouth, making me moan out loud.

He reaches down between us, and groans when he feels how wêt I already am for him.

He runs his finger up and down my folds, as he continues sucking at my nîpple, and I pant as he brings me to the edge.

I reach down and start my own teasing, squeezing his hard length gently in my hand, making him moan.

"Have a care, tesoro. I can't wait, I need to be inside you. Say yes, cara?" He asks me.

"Yes Xavier, please?" I reply, nearly close to pleading.

He reaches down and places himself at my entrance, pushing inside gently. I gasp at how hard he is, and can't help the moans he causes as he starts to move quickly.

He brings me to orgâsm again, and again, and I'm a complete bag of bones when he finally finishes with me the last time.

We lay there panting heavily, and I try to relearn how to breathe properly again.

"God, mio amore you're amazing." Xavier replies, grinning.

"God, I can't move. I've missed you so much, Xavier. I'm so sorry for doubting you, I love you baby." I reply feeling my eyes tear up at all the wasted time we'd been away from each other.

He kisses me gently, and hugs me to him closely.

"I'll never let you go cara, you're mine, and I can't lose you again."

"I'm not going anywhere." I promise him.

We lay there wrapped in each others arms, when jb wakes up and kicks, causing Xavier to yell shocked.

"Was that the baby?" He asked awed.

"Yeah, he's awake and kicking. Probably hungry." I reply amused.

Xavier places his hand in the place jb kicked, and is rewarded with two hard thumps. I watch him as he puts his head onto my stomach, and starts talking rapidly in Italian to my bump sweetly.

I can't believe he missed out on so much, all because of that fûcking slût, and arsêhôle of a twin brother.

He gets up suddenly, and pulls me up after him. Leading me to the closet, he hands me a pair of boxers and one of his tops that comes to my knees.

Pulling them on I watch him get dressed, not taking my eyes off him once. He really is a sexy specimen of a man, and he's all mine! I grin goofily at my thoughts, feeling happy.

"You ready, cara?" He asks me once he's ready.

Nodding, I follow him downstairs with the grin still on my face.

Making our way into the kitchen, I see Mel and Carlos chatting away happily. Seeing me they both stop and smile at us.

"Ah Miss Stewart, it's so good to have you back here. Are you hungry for anything specific?" Carlos asks me.

"No, anythings good. And I'm glad to be back too, Carlos."

Xavier leads me over to the breakfast bar where Mel's sat, and helps me up onto the stool. He sits close next to me and pecks me on the cheek.

Carlos comes over, and places a plate in front of me, piled high with bacon, eggs, sausages, and mushrooms. My mouth waters instantly, thanking him, I dig in starving.

It doesn't take me very long to finish, while Xavier's only half way through his. Grabbing some toast from the wrack Carlos had set there, I butter two slices and add jam, eating them too.

Getting up, I go over to the coffee pot and get a large cup of coffee, adding two sugars and some cream to it. Doctor Smith had advised me to only have one, or two cups of coffee a day to be safe, and I valued the ones I had.

Leaning against the counter, I sip at it, and relax at the familiar taste.

"I didn't think you could have coffee while pregnant?" Mel asks me confused.

I mock glare at her, and stick my tongue out, as Xavier stops eating and looks at me.

"It's perfectly fine," i assure them, "I asked my Doctor, and she advised me to only have two cups a day. I can't give it up completely without feeling awful, and she admitted that wouldn't be good for jb either. So I get my coffee."

Mel nods, and seems to be storing the information away. Xavier smiles at me and continues with his breakfast.

Finishing my coffee too quickly, I place my cup into the sink and go sit by the windows, looking out at how beautiful it is here.

Mel comes over to join me, and places her hands gently onto my bump.

Jb kicks her hand instantly and she smiles widely at me.

"Is he awake a lot?" She asks me curious.

"Yeah, but he's active on and off all through the day. It's a pain when he's up kicking at 3a.m, and I can't sleep for him booting my ribs."

She nods, and moves her hand to see if jb would follow the movement. Laughing loudly when he does, I smile at her softly.

Xavier comes over and joins us, placing his hand at the opposite side, and we spend around an hour just feeling jb kick.

Jb eventually goes to sleep, and we all move out into the garden. It's very hot outside already, and it's only around 10 a.m.

"Xavier? Can we have a barbecue later? I could just eat some grilled meat and veggies."

He nods, and goes inside to ask Carlos if we have anything to grill.

He comes back out frowning.

"We'll have to go shopping, that's if you want to go? Me and Mel can go ourselves, I don't want to tire you out?" He asks concerned.

"I'll be fine going shopping. As long as we go soon, the heat will be awful later, and I'm not supposed to be out a lot while it's hot." I explain to them both.

Xavier goes to the garage, and returns with my suit case from my house, and I smile gratefully at him.

"Mel got them while you were in the hospital. You'll need something other than my clothes to wear to the shops." Xavier replies amused.

He carries my big blue case up to his room and places it down by the bed for me to look inside.

Grabbing a teal blue, maternity summer dress out, I pull Xavier's top off and take some panties and a bra from the case, too.

Pulling them all on, I walk to the mirror and stare at myself.

My bump is pretty huge now, and there's no mistaking that I'm pregnant anymore. I look pretty in this colour too, smiling at myself I grab my brush, and run it quickly through my hair. Leaving it loose down my back, I turn to find Xavier watching me with a small smile on his face.

"Ready, cara?" He asks me, coming over to me.

"Nearly," I reply bending down, and grabbing some nice blue sandals I'd bought to match the dress.

Putting them on, I grab my bag from where Xavier had placed it by the bed and turned to him kissing him quickly.

He was already dressed in some fitted jeans, and a blue top that showed how muscular he really was. He looked good enough to eat, and it took a lot of effort to go downstairs and out to the garage without jumping him.

These damn hormones will be the death of me, I'm sure.

Mel was already in the garage waiting for us. She had on a cute pair of cream khaki shorts and a brown strap top, with matching sandals.

"Finally! What took you so long?" She asks us as soon as we enter.

"I was getting ready. It's hard trying to look pretty while I feel like a whale. So suck it buttercup, and go be skinny over there." I reply pointing to the other side of the car.

She stares at me as if I have two heads, before her and Xavier bust out laughing loudly at me.

Opening the car door and ignoring them, I climb in, placing my bag by my feet and wait for them both to get in.

Xavier gets in smiling widely, and leans over kissing me gently.

"I don't think you look like a whale, mio amore. You always look beautiful to me, especially so while carrying our son." He replies sounding sincere about it.

I kiss him back quickly as he starts the car, and we set off to the store.

Mel sends me sheepish smile through the mirror, and I stick my tongue out at her childishly and smirk.

We arrive at the store quickly, and Xavier shuts the engine off and gets out, coming around to open my door. He helps me get out of the car, and places his hand around my waist possesively.

Mel grabs a cart from near the doors, racing off towards the meat section eagerly.

When we catch up to her, she's already filled the cart up half way. Thankfully she'd got everything I wanted to get. Grabbing it from her and steering it towards the vegetable section, I start filling it with everything we needed.

Xavier goes off, leaving me with Mel as we chose some ice cream, and returns with a crate of beer and some juice for me.

As we make our way to the tills, an old lady stops me and asks me if she can touch my bump, shocking me. Nodding at her, she places her hand gently against it and laughs when jb responds with a hearty kick.

After thanking me, she goes off shopping again, leaving us all staring after her confused.

"Does that happen a lot?" Xavier asks sounding curious.

"Nope. No one's been bothered before."

He nods, and goes to help Mel load everything onto the conveyer belt. After everything's bagged up and paid for, we put the bags into the trolley and Xavier wheels it out to the car. I have to use the restroom before we leave, and Mel comes along with me.

After doing my business, we head outside to Xavier.

Finding him quickly, we both groan when we see him surrounded by paparazzi.

Surprisingly though he's not scowling at them, and actually smiles as they take pictures.

As we approach, he turns to us and smiles widely.

The reporters notice us too, and start asking me questions as Xavier steps forward and shields me safely from them, helping me into the car.

"Wow, they're out in force again, huh?" I ask him nervously, as we make our way out of the parking lot.

"Yeah, it seems after Xander made his speech yesterday, and the photos of us as kids got printed as proof. Well now we're big news, everyone seems to feel sorry for us and Xander and the slût are reciving very bad press over it at the minute."

I shake my head annoyed and lean back tiredly.

As we make our way home, I start to feel sleepy and lean back more, closing my eyes.
