Until the End

"Hey, Pudding Cup." Jimmy's voice rang in my ear. My eyes snapped open to see his enchanting blue eyes right in my face.
I jumped back, my hand flying to my stomach from fright. "Slim Jim! Trying to make this baby come out way earlier than expected?" I laughed along with Jimmy.
"What if I am? What are you going to do about it?" He playfully poked my forehead. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Now, Elena. That is no way to treat your best friend." Dad's chuckle echoed in my bedroom.
I looked up to see my Dad leaning casually against my bedroom door. I crawled over Brian's sleeping body and waddled over to my Dad, hugging him. "Daddy."
"Hey there, kiddo." He kissed my hair. "You're glowing again." He nodded towards my baby bump.
I smiled as I rubbed it. "Yep. I'm huge, once again."
"Oh stop it, Ell. You're pregnant, you know you're going to look like this for a little while longer."
"Yeah, I know. Just can't wait for the baby to come out already." I sighed.
"They'll be here before you know it. Tell Brian I said congrats, will you?"
"I'll tell the goof right now."

I waddled over to Brian's sleeping body on our bed, his face pressed into the pillow with his mouth slightly open. A little drool spilling out onto the pillow. His snore loud as can be, yet it was still pretty cute. Jimmy covered his ears as he looked up at me with a questioning face.

"How can you sleep with that beast?" He asked.
I giggled. "Don't hate on my little monster." I went to place my hand on Brian's bare shoulder when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Dad.
"Don't, honey. Let him sleep, his mind needs to rest for once." I nodded confusedly, putting my hand in my lap while Jimmy draped an arm over my shoulders.
"Dad? What do you mean by, his mind needing to rest for once?" I asked.
Dad glanced over at Jimmy then back at me, a smile on his face. "Honey, you'll know in due time."
I groaned. "Dad! Tell me!" Dad chuckled. I turned to face Jimmy.
"Don't look at me. I ain't saying shit." Jimmy laughed.
I glared. "Ain't isn't a word, ass."
Jimmy laughed. "I like it when you're pregnant, you get pissed off so easily and it's kinda cute."
I couldn't help but laugh with him. "Thanks? I'll be sure to get pregnant more often if it makes me cute."
"2 is enough for now, thank you." Dad interjected.
"What's wrong with that?"
"You have 2 children already by the same guy, and you two aren't even married!" Dad shook his head.
"Dad, I'm sure I'll be married soon. Relax."
"Oh, I know you will be." He nodded.
"So would you chill then? Plus, once this baby is out. I am planning the next child. I'm tired of these surprise pregnancies."
"Maybe if you and Syn would learn to wrap it up and not have sex every damn day." Jimmy laughed.
I glared. "We don't have sex every day."
"Oh, sorry. What I meant was, you two have sex every chance you can get every single day. Yeah, I've seen you two." Jimmy laughed. I blushed. This was so not the conversation I wanted to share with my Dad around.
"Shut up, Jimmy." I grumbled, peeking up at my Dad. Dad was staring at a picture in his hands, ignoring us.
I got off the bed and walked over to my Dad, seeing the picture of me and Brian together. "You two look great together." Dad complimented.
I smiled. "Thanks, Dad."
"Brian's a lucky man. He really loves you."
I looked back over at Brian's sleeping body, smiling. "I love him too, Dad. More than anything."
Dad chuckled. "That's the same thing he said about you when I talked to him at that concert."
"Yeah, Brian said he was apologizing to you."
Dad chuckled. "Something along those lines."
I quirked an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Dad shook his head as Jimmy appeared beside him. I heard Brian mumble something as he slept. "We must go, Ell. You need your rest." Dad pulled me into his arms, kissing my head. "I love you, kid."
I snuggled into his embrace. "I love you too, Dad."
Dad pulled away and I was soon in Jimmy's arms, his cologne filling my nose. "Fucking love you, Pudding Cup."
I couldn't help but laugh. "Fucking love you too, Slim Jim."

I pulled out of Jimmy's arms once he kissed my cheek, crawling over Brian as I got comfortable beside him. Watching as Jimmy and my Dad waved bye as they both faded away, Jimmy making a face at me last minute before he completely disappeared. I softly giggled to myself as I snuggled my way back into Brian's arms. He mumbled something as his arms wrapped themselves around me once again, pulling me closer to his warm chest. Smiling as I heard the soft thumping sound of his heart beat and the light kicks from our baby. My love. My family. My foREVer.
