Her lips were slightly parted as she snored softly.I got up from the bed to take a shower and by the time I was done, she was now sleeping on top of the covers, cradling my pillow to her chest. I laughed at how adorable she looked while getting dressed and went downstairs for breakfast.I walked back in our room with a tray in hand, bringing her breakfast in bed, and she was still sleeping soundly. I placed the tray on the bed and leaned to kiss her awake, causing her to stir in her sleep and peel one eye open.“I bought you coffee”, I held the cup up so that she could see, and she breathed out a quiet laugh before forcing herself up“This is why I love you”, she took the cup in her hands and started sipping from it. “Thank you”“You look horrible”, I joked, and she tucked a few loose strands behind her ear and gave a short laugh“I feel horrible”,

Daniel's POV"Daniel please", tears streamed down her face as her legs trembled in fear. Death was something else, especially when it's staring you right in the face."One question though", I took a sip of my brandy and turned back to her. "Was I never enough for you?", I asked, but she didn't answer me because she was scared for her life."It was one thing to leave me for Damon those years ago, but wanting to destroy him and his family just because you want him to suffer, I have to give it to you sweets", I rose my glass to her in a toast. "You're bitter""What did you expect me to do?", she spat. "Damon humiliated me in front of everyone when he called off the wedding, he made a mockery out of me and I wanted him to feel the pain I felt by destroying him and his beloved family""There she is", I laughed while clapping my hands.

Layla's POV“Finally home”, I threw myself on the couch the second I got to it, Dylan sat next to me and I cuddled him to my chest. Damon walked in pulling our suitcases behind him and put them in the bedroom then came back to close the door.“Did you inform your boss and landlord about you leaving this place?”, he pulled the coffee table towards the couch to sit in front of us, caging me in with his knees and I nodded my head“Yes I did, but I still have to serve my one month's notice”, I said, and he nodded his head“Great”, he stood to his feet. “So, what time is the crew arriving?”, he asked, and before I could even answer, there was one knock on the door then it burst open, Lelo walked in with a bottle of white wine in her hand“Let's get this New Year's Eve party started people”, she shouted, and we laughed as Stacy and James walked behind her and I stood up to hug them.

This had Lelo and James written all over it. Apples were Lelo's favorite and pears were obviously James favorites. I know this because Dylan wasn't a fan of eating fruits that much, I had to literally beg him to at least eat a fruit a day.“Since when do you like apples and pears?”, I questioned, and he rested his face on his tiny fingers on the counter“Auntie Lelo a

He placed both his hands on my baby bump.“You're breathtaking”, he smiled, and I couldn't help but to smile back at him. “How are you feeling? Are you in any pain?”, he asked, and I shook my head no.
