Noah balanced Rachel out and she balanced him out. He had the ability to know exactly what to say to make her relax. Hesitantly she took her hand out of the water to touched the sensitive tattoo. Need You Now, was their song. Now, everyone assumed it was Sweet Caroline, but that was his song for her. Their song for each other was Need You Now, and it was the song that made them friends. The song that led them to this moment. “It’s amazing, Noah,” she whispered, looking up at him. She smiled softly and realized that his world was her. Her and the twins. Biting her lip, she moved forward so that he could get into the tub with her. “I love you,” she said as she felt his hands on her belly. “Did you know that they are now beginning to hear us? We should start singing to them now.” She had sang to them before, but it was before they could actually hear her voice. Noah always had a twenty minute conversation with her belly everyday. It was actually really cute when you watch him do it. “Is all of this a dream?” She leaned back against his chest, her head resting on his shoulder. “Like, all of my life, all I wanted was this moment. To be happy and pregnant and engaged or married. I always thought that it would never happen to me because no one would want me. I don’t want it to be a dream. I want it to be real. It feels real. You’re real.” She looked over at him, smiling a bit more. “I fell in love with my best friend. I get to spend forever with him.”

It was as if Rachel finally realized what he’s been trying to show her for the longest time, she was his everything. Literally. And the twins, of course. If he didn’t have them, it would be like he had nothing besides his family. She was everything he could ever ask for and more, and he doesn’t know what he would do if he every lost her. But he’s not going to, they’re going to get married and spend forever together. Which still freaks him the fuck out, but its more in a good way now. He gives her a smile when she tells him its amazing, moving to stand up and then climbing into the tub behind her, his chest against her back as his hands went to her stomach. “I love you too,” He said against the skin of her shoulder, leaning his chin on it. He smiled, “That hasn’t stopped us before, right? It’s definitely not gonna stop me now, trust me.” If people found out he actually talks to her belly, they’d think he’s fucking crazy. But they can all fuck off because he actually loves doing it, since they’re his kids and all. And he wants them to know who their dad is, sue them. He’s sure he’s not the only one that does it. He pressed a kiss to her neck when she leaned her head against his shoulder, chuckling at her question, “If it was, it would be one cruel dream, wouldn’t it? But thank god its not, I wouldn’t be happy if it was. I wouldn’t want to wake up.” And it was the way Rachel said that she fell in love with her best friend that really hit him, hard. He smiled against the skin of her shoulder, “I’m in love with my best friend too.”
