real life.

CHRIS ABSENTMINDEDLY DANCED around the bedroom to the music Carmen had playing. It was nearly two in the morning, and he was dressed in nothing but grey sweats, yet he danced away as he helped pack away a few things. Carmen was on the bed, working on paperwork for the next day, but she couldn't focus. Not when her hunk of a fiancé was dancing in her bedroom.

A smile crossed her lips as she remained quiet, admiring the man she was to marry. She questioned how she got so lucky to be with him, a man who loved her and her daughter and the child they were having together. She felt like she falling in love with him all over again and falling in love with him even more.

"D–mn." Carmen muttered, "I love you so much."

She giggled when Chris froze, stopping his dance. He pouted as he looked over his shoulder, glancing at her.

"Princess," he whined, drawing out his reply.

"Come here."

Carmen placed her paperwork on the floor as Chris' pout was replaced with a grin. He flung himself to the bed, hopping onto the mattress which left Carmen in a fit of giggles. Chris rolled over, laying over her legs and sent her a cheeky grin.

Rogers whined, getting up from his spot on the end of the bed and quickly curled up at Carmen's side. Chris laughed, gently petting the small dog.

"I think Dodger would like a fur brother." He mumbled.

Carmen rolled her eyes as she lifted her hand to his head, running her fingers through his soft hair. She laughed softly, "I think he would like a human brother too."

He grunted, "The baby's gonna be a girl."

"Christopher," she muttered, "It's gonna be a boy, I'm telling you."

He rolled his eyes and dropped his head, leaning forward to press a kiss to her belly. She was showing, but just barely. Chris knew his baby was growing and it was only a matter of months until he'd meet his baby, he couldn't wait. He grinned and kissed her belly again.

The smile Carmen had, that was priceless.

"Oh baby, I can't wait to meet you, my little bean." Chris whispered softly, "Whether you're a boy or a girl, you're so loved. You're so lucky too, your momma is the best woman in the world. I guess your old man is cool too."

"You're not old, and you are cool." She reprimanded playfully. You're pretty awesome, if I say so myself."

Chris smirked and pushed himself up. He leaned in slowly, with the intention to tease her. She pouted and leaned forward, happily connecting their lips.

"I love you," he grinned.

"You're a tease, you meatball." She grumbled, but then smiled, "But I love you too."
