28~Craving

I turn over again huffing and pushing the covers away from me. It's 3am and I've barely had any sleep because Marshmallow hasn't once stopped kicking in the last few hours, I'm too hot and to top it all off I'm craving the most ridiculous things. I have no clue why but I could really eat some broccoli.

"Char what's wrong?" Justin asks suddenly, I jump from his voice which is croaky and tired.

"N-nothing." I sigh relaxing onto the pillow and rubbing small circle on my stomach. This is ridiculous. I'm sick of being pregnant. My appetite is enormous, my boobs are sore, feet swollen, my body is holding so much excess water I swear I resemble some sort of whale, I'm always exhausted and I ache - constantly.

"Charlie?" Justin asks again as I shuffle to the other side to face him.

"I'm hungry okay?" I huff pouting. I'd totally go and get my own food but the thought of going down that big ass staircase is exhausting never mind actually doing it.

"What do you want?" Justin asks and I bite my lip, normal food...normal food...

"Strawberries?" I ask myself even though strawberries don't sound appealing at all right now. Justin snorts at my words and shuffles so his lips brush against mine making me momentarily speechless.

"What do you really want?" Justin asks and I can just make out his smirk in the darkness of the room.

"Peanut butter...Oooh and fries, with ice cream and maybe some banana?" I suggest feeling my mouth water slightly at the thought of all of those set down in front of me.

"Well I can give you banana and ice cream." Justin says and it takes me a moment to realise what he actually said.

"Oh my god..." I gasp snorting and hitting Justin's arm softly. "Did you just...?" I burst out laughing and cover my face when I feel my cheeks get hot with embarrasement. I shake my head leaning back on the bed and snuggling into Justin's arms whilst still giggling away to myself. "I can't believe I'm stuck with your ass for the rest of my life." I mumble feeling Justin tense beside me.

"The rest of your life huh?" Justin asked quietly from beside me and I bite my lip letting a squeaked 'yes' as my reply. It's awkwardly silent around us for the next few seconds and I'm filled with this awful sense of dread and knowing that I really shouldn't have said that. It's true though, I can't see anybody else in the picture ever, only Justin.

He huffs out a breath whilst I hold mine and chew on my lower lip nervously. "Might have to fit a wedding in there, baby." Justin says lightheartedly reaching onto the floor and picking up the shirt he was wearing yesterday and throwing it over his head.

"Maybe one day." I mumble shyly in reponse sitting up as Justin fumbles around the room in the dark.

"Where the hell am I supposed to get fries, ice cream, banana and peanut butter from at 4am?" He asks changing the conversation from something which could get uncomfortable to my food and I'm more than happy to go with the subject change. I hum to myself doing a teddy bear roll on the bed to sit up and huffing when I wobbled slightly in my place.

"There's banana and peanut butter downstairs." I hum pushing myself up from the bed and slowly making my way over to Justin and I's wardrobe.

"Um, where are you going?" Justin asks me squinting his eyes as I pull the satin nightgown over my head and shivering as I searched through Justin's stuff for one of his long shirts that I can throw on.

"I'm not waking you up at 4 in the morning for food and not coming with you." I huff pulling a beige shirt over my head and grab Justin's arm to balance myself as I pull my leggings up my legs. "What if I change what I want?" I ask and Justin laughs waiting for me to stop using his as a support before leaning down to capture my lips in a kiss.
