chapter thirteen

Shea glanced over at him, squealing a bit. "No way." She said, wiping away a stray tear. "You're serious?" She sniffled, her smile growing wider. "But it's like, hella expensive."

"You do know who your man is, right?" He teased, pulling her closer and kissing her forehead. "If you want it, you got it."

Shea blushed, her heart swelling with love for him. "You're the best, Chris." She kissed him, soft and sweet, before settling back into his embrace.

Most of the time that she was home, she would work on the nursery, packing the clothes into the closet and organizing all of the toys. She would scroll through Pinterest, looking for cute ideas for the organization and decoration of the room. She would also spend time with her friends, going out to eat or just hanging out at their houses, talking about everything they were excited for and everything they were nervous about. She couldn't help but feel overwhelmed sometimes, but Chris was always there to remind her that they were in this together and that they'd make great parents.

The seventh month of Shea's pregnancy was upon them, and she could feel the baby moving around even more now. It was the sweetest sensation in the world, and it never failed to make her heart melt. She and Chris had been spending as much time together as possible, cherishing every moment they had before their lives would change forever. They had been going on walks, watching movies, and even going out to dinner sometimes. Chris had been doting on her, making sure she was comfortable and happy.

His fans were wondering where she was and when was her due date and the gender of the baby -- but they would have to wait until she was ready to share that information with them. She wanted to enjoy this time with Chris and their baby without any outside distractions. They had already told their families, and they had been nothing but supportive and excited for them.

Shea spent the seventh month of her pregnancy just trying to enjoy every moment of it. She and Chris were still inseparable, and they cherished every moment they could spend together. She was starting to feel uncomfortable in her own skin, but she didn't want to complain too much. She knew that it was all worth it in the end.

She was also taking his advice and looking for ranch homes in the country. She had found a few that she liked, and they were going to go look at them together once she was further along in her pregnancy. She couldn't wait to start this new chapter of her life with Chris and their baby.

It made her more than happy to know that Chris had been so supportive and understanding throughout the entire process. He had been there for her every step of the way, and she couldn't imagine going through this without him. She felt incredibly lucky to have found him.

"I feel so horny and emotional lately." Shea admits to Maddy, Kat, and BB. "But I just want to be with Chris. I don't want anyone else." They were all sitting in Shea and Chris' bedroom, eating ice cream and watching movies. "I can't wait to meet our baby."

"When are you NOT horny?" BB teased. "But seriously, you guys are so cute together. I can't wait to see you as a family." She nudged Shea's side with her elbow. "And don't worry, you'll get your sex life back. It's just going to be different for a while."

"I know, but -- I don't know." Shea giggled, blushing. "It's just different now. I'm more in love with him than ever." She took a bite of her ice cream, savoring the sweetness on her tongue. "And I can't wait to see what our baby looks like."

"You're obsessed with him." Kat laughed. "I love it. You two are the cutest." She smiled at them, her eyes sparkling with happiness. "And I'm sure your baby is going to be the most beautiful, smartest, and most talented baby ever."

"Your southern man is looking at you." Maddy winked at Shea, who rolled her eyes but couldn't help but smile.

Shea glanced over to where Chris was with his friends. He was indeed looking at her, a soft smile on his face. Her heart skipped a beat as she felt her cheeks flush with warmth. "Mmm." She hummed, biting her lip.
