Chapter 4

Dereck P. O. V

My hearts pounding and can maybe hear from all the way up here. Oh and my palms are so sweaty it looks like a faucet leaking out from my hands. I continue to count from 1 to ten in my head, willing my anxiety to go away. I know it might be childish of me at my age to be going through this but it happens to everyone. But can you blame me it's my big day. Correction me and Lexi's big day. Pacing my floor for the past couple of minutes I'm sure the floor has already gotten one of those alien symbols like in the corn fields. Taking a look in the mirror, I frown at the disheveled person looking back. Despite being already dressed. Noise from the bathroom reaches my ear indicating that Lexi's already finished taking his bath. "Hun stop over thinking everything it's going to go great, I can see the steam coming out from your ears". My lover said sounding rather amused at my expense. " Ughhhhhh, I know babe I'm aware. It's just I'm nervous. What if there's no more kids to adopt!!!.what if we don't get the perfect kid!!!!" . I ramble on and on and on, until he steps in my line of vision and gives me a big hug and squeezes the me tightly. I erase him being naked from my mind and accept his affection.. "Dereck baby I'm sure the orphanage's not gonna run out of kids". He chuckles, which makes me glare at him playfully. ''Plus our kid doesn't have to be perfect, other than in our eyes, he /she can be anything they want to be". Let's just leave it up to when we get ok my love. I nod my head at his wise piece of advice. " Oh my kitty let me fix you up, you can look like you had a fight with a dog and it won". I could hear the laughter in his voice. But I still let him do the wifely duties.

20minutes later....................................................

Lexi and I took our departure. Lucky for us our location is only a couple of minutes away from our home. I watched all the beautiful trees pass us by, while bobbing my head from the music in the car. My baby always knows how to calm me down with some songs from Breaking Benjamin. Love them. My finger taps away at the dash board, I could feel my anxiety and everything else uncomfortable leaving my whole body, I felt 100% better. 10 minutes and the St Marquis home into view and at the same time, I felt the warm hand of my love on my own. Reassuring me that everything would be alright and we have each other's support.
