Chapter fifty

Thank you all for 5K reads!!💕

"Are you feeling better, Katie?" Leo asked, kissing her cheek as he helped her make breakfast. "No dizziness or pain?"

It was their last day of their family vacation, and they'd left the kids sleep in, knowing they were tired after the previous day, when Leo had played in the snow with them while Kate watched.

They really needed that family vacation. It helped Kate to stop worrying so much about Ned and about the tabloids and paparazzi. It helped so Leo could spend more time with both her and the kids, and it had also helped Kate and Leo to spend some quality time just with each other. It had been a very nice and lovely vacation.

"Don't worry, darling." Kate said, smiling softly. "I'm feeling much better now. No pain, no dizziness." She reached towards him, taking his hand and giving it a squeeze. "You're so overprotective, Leo. There's nothing to worry about."

"I just like making sure that you both are fine, darling." He answered, hugging her from behind and pecking kisses on her shoulder.

"Well, we're fine, you don't need to worry."

"Have I told you today how much I love you?" He changed the subject, kissing her forehead.

"Like a thousand times." She giggled. "But I don't want you to stop."

He turned her around in his embrace, and kissed her. She smiled against his lips, kissing him back and tangling her fingers in his hair. Kate pulled away slowly and pecked his cheek.

"I love you, Katie."

"I know. I love you too." She turned around again and kept making breakfast. Kate could feel Leo standing right behind her, one arm wrapped around her waist, his head resting on top of her shoulder, his lips all over her neck, leaving a trail of soft kisses on her skin, his eyes watching her with so much love, and his other hand, laying protectively over her baby bump, keeping her and their baby secluded in an atmosphere of love and safety.

She still couldn't understand how she had gotten so lucky to have him.

It still felt like she was in a dream. She was with the only man she'd ever truly loved, her best friend, her Leo, and he loved her too, as deeply as she loved him. They were engaged, and they were having a baby. Leo loved her and her kids just as if they were his own, and they loved him too. She couldn't imagine anything better.

"Are you okay, darling?" Leo asked her, noticing that she was thinking about something.

"Yes." Kate smiled, turning to kiss him. "I'm just thinking about how lucky I am to have you."

Leo smirked. "I'm much luckier. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me."

They both turned to face the door as they heard little steps coming towards the kitchen.

"Well, goodbye to the peace and silence." Leo joked, and Kate playfully smacked his arm.

"Hey, that's our kids you're talking about!"

"I know, and you know I love them as much as I love you, and they got all their feistiness from their mother."

"Oh, really?" Kate grinned, looking at him with a playful smirk on her face.

"Yes, really!" Leo imitated her English accent, making Kate burst in laughter. He quickly reached down and started tickling her sides.

Kate squealed, trying to escape Leo's arms. "L-Leo! Stop!" She laughed loudly. "Stop!"

They both loved how they felt when they were with each other. It sometimes was like they were in their early twenties again, acting like kids, laughing until their stomaches ached, just like they had felt while filming Titanic, falling every day even deeper for the other. They loved how they could be themselves around the other without the fear of being judged. There was nothing to worry about when they were together. They had been there for each other, they knew the other more than anyone, even more than they knew themselves, they had been each others' rock, each others' best friend, they had been there, even when they were 21 and 22 years old, their hearts and souls already intertwined with each others'.
