"32 weeks today actually, almost there"
"And do you know what you're having?"
"You want to answer this one Pres" Sasha looked over at Preston, smiling shyly at him, he moved to her side placing his hand on her belly, before he looked to us - Hunter had moved to my side and wrapped his arm around my waist
"That is my little boy in there actually" His grin widened as he spoke,
"Congratulations" I threw my arms around Sasha again, "You are going to be an amazing Mum"
"Thanks Lil, But can we eat, I'm starving and I can't wait to hear all about your trip"
We moved to the dining room, sitting at the table where we had laid out the various containers of Chinese food, Sasha and Preston asked about our time away, about different places we had seen
"What was the most amazing thing you got to do" Sasha looked at me, I glanced at Hunter who was watching me with a smirk on his face, I held up the hand holding my ring finger waving the towards her, Prestons mouth dropped open
"Shut the fuck up"
"Sash, you're about to be a mother" I scolded
"You guys got married?"
"Yeah" I smiled over at Hunter again, He grabbed my hand bringing it to his mouth he left a warm kiss on it,
"Wow, congrats guys" Preston spoke
"Thanks guys - looks like it is good news all round hey"
Hunter lifted his whiskey glass toasting the table, All of us joining in - Sash making a point of groaning about her glass of lemonade.
"I am so happy for them" I laid against Hunters chest, my fingers tracing over the tattoos on his skin,
"Yeah, me too - they seem really happy"
"Yeah, they really do"
"You sure you don't want that Princess?"
"Why, don't tell me you have you changed your mind Hunter?"
"Hmph, I don't know - call me selfish but I just don't want to share you"
"I know, I feel the same way, I have everything I ever wanted Hunter, I am living the life I thought people only dreamed of, plus we can be the bestest Aunty and Uncle to Pres and Sasha's little boy" I turned my head to look at him, his gaze was locked on me, his eyed filled with love, pure and simple "I love you Hunter"
"I love you Lil"
The next few weeks went by quickly, Hunter had returned to work quickly settling back into his routine, I had managed to score an Interview at the city Art Museum - the position was part-time 3 days per week on the Development team which mostly involved assisting with the fundraising and working on memberships as well as procuring sponsorship from private and corporate donors, It wasn't really an area I was looking for but it would be a foot in the door and apparently when your surname is Stilton it carries some weight. They called me a few days after the interview and offered me the position, It was a good job and the people I worked with so far had been awesome.
I spent a lot of time with Sasha, she was not loving being by herself in her final weeks of pregnancy but with December just around the corner Preston was flat out with people wanting to book space for their work Christmas parties at Stilts, I knew this was keeping Hunter busy too between the restaurant, Stilt and ANL he had already had his hands full, now that he had added 3 more clubs to his portfolio it was full on.
Hunter was the face of his companies, Yes he had managers in all his businesses but people wanted to be able to deal with Hunter when it came to events, especially corporate people.We did manage to squeeze dinner in with Ryder, Jacquie and their kids. Ryder was fairly surprised we had gotten married, more so that Hunter had finally made a commitment to settle down than anything, we managed to avoid all topics surrounding my Mother and Father although I did ask how my brothers were - Ryder said they were both good kids, Lachlan had apparently turned into quite the swimmer and had been away representing the school at both regional and state championships and was headed to Nationals after the Christmas break, Logan was more technical based - he had a passion for computers and anything to do with technology - Ryder said he delivered good grades and his goal was to get into a computer science course after school. He told me Mum and Dad were fine, they knew I had been travelling for 2 years and often reached out to Ryder to see if he had heard from Hunter.
Sasha went into labour on a Friday morning at 2am, Preston making a frantic call to Hunter as she wanted me by her side, of course I wasn't missing this, and after 14 long hours Noah William Johnson was born it was the 4th December at 16:30 pm - he was just perfect with his Dads dark hair and Mums lips and eyes, he was a beautiful baby.
"Hey baby" Hunter walked slowly into Sasha's hospital room where I stood holding little Noah, Preston had taken Sasha to the shower to help her clean up,
"Come and see this perfect little man" I smiled at my Husband, he walked the rest of the way over, standing in front of me his eyes watching the tiny human I cradled in my arms,
"Wow, he's so small"
"Shhh, don't let Sasha hear you say that" I laughed "Wanna hold him?"
"Yeah" I placed Noah into Hunters massive arms, leaving my hand on his arm as I watched them, my heart skipping a beat at the sight of Hunters massive arms gently rocking a baby. He tilted his face up to look at me,
"It suits you Hunt"
"You think?" He turned his eyes back to Noah, then to me once more before shrugging. He brought Noah closer up to his face, whispering to him just loud enough for me to hear,
"Your lucky you've got me Noah, I'll teach you some cool shit" I laughed at Hunter who looked at me a smile on his face "What, best uncle ever right"
