Nathan's POV

The sun shines through the bedroom curtains as I blink repeatedly from the light as I try to wake up. I try to sit up and realize there is something weighing my arm down. As I open my eyes, I remember last night and smile as I look to see her sleeping form resting on my arm. What an amazing night. I had so much fun with her and loved that I could make her smile for a while. Don't get me wrong, the sex was amazing and definitely wasn't expected. It was the best ending to a great evening. She is laying with her back to me and I trace my fingers up her spine and across her shoulder sliding down her arm. Her skin is so soft and smooth and I see goosebumps arise where I have touched. She softly purrs as she begins to move and she turns around to face me as she blinks trying to wake up and a smile creeps across her face.

"Good morning, beautiful."
"Good morning, handsome." She says as I kiss her soft lips. She reaches up to caress my cheek and I lean into her touch. I wish we could stay here forever, but soon I hear her stomach growl and chuckle.

"Sounds like someone's hungry."
"Just a bit." She laughs.

"Let's get up and get ready. I want to take you out to breakfast."
"Sounds great."
We both get up and she heads to her room to get ready. I quickly hop in the shower to get ready and once I am dressed, I head down to wait for her. She eventually comes down in a sundress which shows off her baby bump. She is absolutely glowing and she takes my breath away. I can't help but stare.

"See something you like?" She asks with a wink as she walks over to me and stands on her tiptoes to place a kiss to my lips. I reach around and pull her body to mine as I deepen the kiss.

"Mmmm, let's get out of here before I take you back upstairs."
"Hahahaha, yes please, I'm starving."

I take her hand and quickly we head out to the truck. We climb in and head to the diner.

"Hey guys, nice to see you again. Same table?" Suzy asks as she greets us.

"Yes, please.

She seats us at our usual booth and goes to grab my coffee and orange juice for Lilly. I guess we have been here way too much since she knows what our drink of choice is.

"Alright guys, do you want your usual?"
"I would actually love some pecan waffles with a side of bacon?" Lilly asks as her eyes sparkle.

"I'll take the western omelet and sausage."

"Great, I'll be back later with your order."
Suzy heads off to put our order in and we sit in silence for a bit before I say something.

"Lilly, what are you thinking? Whatever it is, don't overthink. We will take this one step at a time. I really like you. I don't regret what happened last night, and I hope you don't either."
"I don't, at all. It was amazing. I really like you too. I just worry about the unknown. Whatever is out there, I don't think I could ever leave you."
"I have always told you I am not going anywhere. We will continue to search for your family and who you are. I don't want to lose you, but I want you to find yourself. If you want to go with them when it comes down to it. I will let you go if that is what you want. It would be hard for me but all I want for you is to be happy."

"My happiness belongs here with you."
She reaches across and squeezes my hand. I look at her and her eyes shine with tears as she tries to hold them back . I don't know what I will do if she ever leaves me, but her happiness is more important. Our waitress brings our meal and we dig in.

"Mmm, these waffles are so good, or is it that I am starving?"

"I haven't had anything here that I didn't like."
"They do have the best food."
WE sit and eat in silence for a bit.

"So how about we go get stuff for the baby's room? We need to start on it before he gets here."
"That sounds great. I would like that."
"Then when we are finished here, we will head to the baby store."
As we sit and eat, we are deep in conversation when a strange man walks up to our table.

"Brianna is that you?" he asks.

Lilly looked at him in confusion and I could see the worry in her eyes.

"No, you must be mistaken. My name is Lilly."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I must be mistaken. You look like a very dear friend of mine that I haven't seen in a long time. Sorry to bother you."
"That's okay. I hope that you find your friend."
"I will, someday. You two have a nice day."

He walks off and I can't help but get a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I watch him as he leaves and disappears. I don't think we have seen the last of him. After we finish, we head off to the baby store. We spend several hours looking at cribs, changing tables and dressers. She insists on helping me pay but I told her I got it and she goes to look at clothes which he gets herself. I have the furniture set to deliver in a few days and take the rest of the stuff back to the house. I can see that she is getting tired and I tell her to go lay down and rest. "While she is asleep I call the guys and set up a time to paint the nursery. I wanted to surprise her and we set up to get things done one day while she was at work. They will deliver the furniture and we will get it all put together. I hope she will like it. While Lilly is napping my mom calls to check on her.

"Hey sweetheart, how is Lilly doing?"

"She is great mom, sleeping at the moment."
"How are you doing? You really like her don't you?"
"I really do. She is such an amazing woman. I can't help falling for her. I am just scared that she is going to tear out my heart."

"Oh son, if you really love her then you should fight for her."
"I didn't say I loved her."
"You don't have to say it. I can hear it in your voice and I can see the way you look at her. She is a wonderful woman. If it is meant to be, it will be. Just take it one day at a time and show her how much you care."
"I try to every day. There is a part of me that hopes she never gets her memories back. Then I feel like such a jerk."
"Have you heard anything else about her?"

"No, Mike hasn't found anything and it's beginning to look like he may not."

"That's so sad."
"We did run into a strange man today at the diner. He thought he recognized her. I got a weird feeling about him though. I just don't like it."
"Well, I hope it was nothing."
"I do too, mom."
"So how are things going with the baby?"

"I took her to pick out furniture for the nursery. The guys are going to come over Wednesday for us to get it all set up. I want to surprise her."
"I'll come over and help, too. I'm not at the shop then so she won't expect anything."
"That would be great. You could decorate the walls and help put away some of the things she bought."
"That sounds great. I will come over in the morning."
"Great, I was planning on going to work like usual and we would come back after that."

"Call me when you want me to come over."
"Will do, I will talk to you then. Gotta go get dinner ready."
"Alright son, see you Wednesday, and don't worry. If it's meant to be, it will happen."

"Thanks mom."

We hang up and I go into the kitchen to start dinner. When it is almost finished, I hear her little feet padding into the kitchen. As I am stirring things on the stove I hear her walk up behind me and wrap her arms around me as she lays her head against my back. I relish in her warmth and pull her hand up to kiss her knuckles.

"Did you have a nice nap?"
"I did. It smells wonderful in here."
"I am making Chicken Marsala. It's almost ready. Do you mind setting the table?"
"Not at all."
She goes to set the table and dinner is finished soon after. We sat down to eat and talk about the baby and what she would like for the nursery. She doesn't mention the man who came to our table this morning.. I know it is bothering her, but I don't want to push it. I will make sure to let Mike know and maybe keep an eye out for him. Once dinner is finished we take our plates to the kitchen and I tell her to go sit down and pick out a movie. I finish up the dishes and head into the living room. As I walk in, she is stretched out across the couch and I walk over and pull her feet up as I sit down and place them in my lap. She starts the movie and I begin to massage her swollen feet.

"MMmm, that feels so good."
"Do they hurt? I feel bad that I dragged you around today."
"They are a little sore. And they look a little swollen. I really enjoyed today. That guy this morning kinda creeped me out though."

"I thought he bothered you. I didn't want to say anything though, upsetting you."
"I feel like I might have seen him before though."

"I will let Mike know and we can give him a description, so he can keep an eye out for him."
"I wonder if he might have anything to do with what happened to me."
"It could be a coincidence too."
"You're right, maybe I am thinking too much about it. I can't wait for the furniture to come in, so we can get it set up."
"You can't be around the paint fumes though."
Oh yes, that's true."
We talk a little more and soon she is sound asleep. She didn't even make it through half the movie. I slowly pick her up and place her in my bed quietly undressing her and crawling into bed next to her. I pull her into me and kiss the top of her head.

"We will find out who you are, and I will keep you safe. Even if it means I lose you. I love you."I close my eyes and soon fall asleep.
