7 Days II

8

-Day 4-

Baby wake up!! I have a surprise for you!"

I cracked my eyes open and Ray was standing over me with a hoodie and jeans on.

That's how I knew something was up.

"You're dressed casually," I mumbled. Ray chucked and helped me sit up.
"I just got back," He replied happily.

"Back from where?"
He grinned, "You'll see."

Oh boy.

"Tell me now, Ray!"
"Go take a shower!" He demanded, "And hurry up! We have a flight to catch."

-

I stood in the shower anxiously. What is he planning?! Last time he did this, he proposed... And where was he at? He never leaves without telling me first. Especially when he's not dressed in a suit.
I hate surprises.

I stepped out of the shower carefully.
"Ray!" I yelled.
"Yeah!"
"Can you help me get dressed?!"

I heard his footsteps get closer to the bathroom.
"Yeah.." He mumbled, "We should be there in a Minute."

He walked in and smiled nonchalantly.

"Ray who the fuck were you talking to?"
"Nobody!!"
Seriously!? "Ray I will-"

"What do you wanna wear honey?!" He chuckled and ran to my suitcase, "I think you would look cute in this." He reached in and proudly pulled out a baggy hoodie and some sweatpants.

My traveling outfit.

"Ray where are we going!?"
"Nowhere!!"
I rolled my eyes, "Ray I'm too pregnant to go to Dubai again and-"
"We're not going to Dubai!!" He walked over to me with hope in his eyes while holding the outfit, "Just trust me okay?"

Be a good wife, Monroe.

I sighed, "Okay....gimme the hoodie."

-
"The plane is now landing in Los Angeles, California. Please fasten your seat belts."

"RAY!!!"
"Yes?"
"WE'RE IN CALIFORNIA!?!?"
"Yes."
"WHAT THE-"

"Shhh," He laughed and clicked my seat belt for me.
"Ray why are we in California!?"
"You'll see baby!"

He always pulls some shit.
I'm too pregnant for this.

We held hands while the plane landed at LAX.
Suddenly I felt my stomach growl.
"Ray me and your child are hungry."

He smiled and put his hand on my tummy.
"I'll get you girls so food soon, Okay?"

"You better not be mad when you find out its a boy."
He laughed, "We'll keep having babies until we get a girl."

Oh please.

I scoffed "Easy for you to say when you're not the one having them!"
"I basically am."

I rolled my eyes, "I can't believe you just said that."
"Whaaat?" He laughed, "Do you know how hard I work?"

"Oh,"I said, "Is there a child growing inside of you too?"
"Noooo but... But.. "
"But what?"

Ray's POV

-Three Months Earlier-

"Raaaaaaaaay!!!"

I ran out of my office, upstairs, down the hall, around the corner to the bedroom.

"Yes honey?"
"Can you hand me the remote?"

I looked at the nightstand next to her.
It was right there.

"Babe you know it's next to you right?"
She smiled, "I know, I just can't reach it." She started to rub her belly, "You know what the baby does to me."

I sighed and walked to the nightstand. I grabbed the remote and gently placed it in her hand.
"Thanks husband."
I smiled, "No problem."

I quickly walked back downstairs to my office. It'll be over soon Ray. Just make sure her needs are taken care of and-

"Raaaaaaaaay?!"

Oh my-

"Coming!!"

I ran upstairs to Monroe and quickly to the bedroom.
I was out of breath and she seemed satisfied at how tired I was.
"Baby?"

I leaned against the doorway, "Yes?"
"Can you start on dinner? I'm hungry."

If she's hungry that means my child's hungry.

"Of course, what would you like to eat?"
"It doesn't matter."
I sighed, "okay.. I can make some spaghetti and-"

"Nahhhhhh not that."

I chuckled, "I thought you said it doesn't matter."
"It doesn't, just not that."

"Okay, I guess I can make soup and-"
"No!"
"What?"
"Not soup!!"

I laughed, "Babe!"
She grunted, "Fine!! I guess I have to do everything around here huh!?? YOU'RE SO LAZY! YOU EXPECT ME TO DO EVERYTHING ON MY OWN?! HOW DARE YOU!!!"

Woahhhhhh

"Baby I just-"
"No!! FORGET IT!! I HOPE YOU DIE!"

"Monroe! I'll make you a burger!"
She smiled, "Okay! Love you!"

I was stunned. Her mood swings surprise me every time.

I quickly ran out and down the stairs. Maybe if I hurry up with the burger she'll leave me alone and I can-

"Ohhh RAAAAAAYYYY!?"

I grunted and ran in the kitchen, "Yes honey!?"
"ARE YOU GETTIN AN ATTITUDE WITH ME!?"

I grabbed a pan and threw it on the stove, "No babe!"
"CAUSE WE CAN FIGHT IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!"

She's so cute.
"No babe! I don't wanna fight."
"COME UP HERE!"

I quickly threw some beef on the stove to start to burgers, then ran to the bedroom.

"Sorry for sounding like I have an attitude." I walked into the bedroom and she was smiling innocently.

Of course.

"Ray?"
"Yes?"
"Can you rub my feet?" She wiggled her tiny toes at me.

I smiled and kneeled in front of her on the bed. I have absolutely no problem giving her a foot rub.

"Babe," I said, "I gotta go downstairs and finish the burgers."
"Nooo!"
I laughed, "I have to or they're gonna burn."
"Well just unburn it."

I looked at her in the eyes.
"Unburn?"
"Unburn."

-

"You could've unburned it!! " I yelled as the limo pulled into a gated community.
Ray laughed and put his arm around me, "I'd do anything for your crazy ass."

"Even unburn a burger?"
He kissed my cheek and gazed into my eyes, "Any day."

I looked out of the window at all the beach houses and gorgeous homes on the lake. This has to be the most beautiful city I've ever seen.
Wait why are we here?

"Hey Ray?" I asked.
He grinned, "Yes?"
"What are we doing here?"

He chuckled then leaned in to kiss my lips softly.
"I know I should've told you first. "

The limo pulled into the driveway of a gated mansion. It was the most beautiful house I've ever seen. It wasn't too ridiculously huge but still was large, yet welcoming.

"Who lives here?" I asked.
"We do."
