(I hate you~)
Joy shut the lid to the box, smiling as she put it in a small bag.
“Bryce, are you ready?” She called out softly. “I’ve prepared your lunch. And hurry up, please. Your breakfast is going to go cold.”

(❤️)
“I’m coming, I’m coming,” Bryce called from the bathroom. He finished drying his hands and stepped out to see Joy in the kitchen with his food all prepared. He grinned and made his way over to her, kissing her cheek when he reached her. “Thanks, beautiful. You’re the best.”
Joy wrapped her arms around him, pressing a kiss on his neck.
"Anything for you, my Wolf," she murmured. "Come back soon, okay? Ambrose and I'll get lonely."
group
Bryce hummed and cupped her cheek in his hand, using it to lift her face and press a longer kiss to her lips. “Of course. I’ll be home as soon as I can. There’s a meeting today, so I shouldn’t be too long. You could do some planning for the wedding while I’m gone if you’re bored.”
Joy's eyes fluttered closed and remained closed even when Bryce pulled away.
"I will," she whispered. "We'll miss you."
group
“I’ll miss you, too, love,” Bryce murmured before bending down to kiss her belly. “And you as well, little boy. Keep growing, and don’t give your mom too much pain.”
Joy laughed, running her fingers through his hair.
"He's going to be wonderful," she cooed. "Ah, it's just been four months, huh…? Move along now. I don't want you to be late!"
group
(Hasn’t it been five months? Lol.)
Bryce chuckled and straightened up, quickly kissing her cheek again asbhe brabbed the bag of his lunch. “All right, all right. I’m going. I’ll see you in a few hours, love.”
(Oh lol. I forgot.)
Joy wished him goodbye, waving as he left. Once she was alone, she sighed and patted her belly.
"Well, love, it looks like it's just you and me…" Ambrose replied with a kick.
group
(Lol. Ambrose just wants to chill in her belly. Talking isn’t allowed. ;P)
Around four that evening, Bryce walked back into the apartment, running a hand through his hair as he closed the door behind himself with a sigh. The meeting had been long and boring. All he wanted now was to relax a little, or maybe just chill with his fiancée.
“Joy? I’m home,” he called, taking his shoes off.
(Ambrose is like, please mom.)
Joy stirred in her position on the couch, having fallen asleep as she waited for Bryce to get home. When she heard his voice, her eyes opened slowly, watering due to sleepiness.
"Bryce…" she murmured, sitting up. "Welcome home…"
group
“Oh, did I wake you? I’m sorry, babe. You can go back to sleep,” Bryce said softly as he made his way into the living room, his gaze flicking over her softly. “I can go do some work in our bedroom if you don’t want to move. Or I could carry you there so you’re more comfortable?”
Joy let out a sleepy smile, rubbing her eyes slowly.
"I'm okay," she mumbled, standing up to walk towards him. "I was just waiting for you. Freshen yourself up while I set the table?"
group
Bryce smiled at her softly, kissing her forehead when she’d reached him. “Sure thing, babe. I’m going to go take a quick shower, and then I’ll come back out so we can eat. Sound good?”
Joy nodded.
“Sounds good,” she yawned, covering her mouth as she did so. “Have fun?”
group
Bryce snorted a little and shook his head as he started down the hall. “Not really, no. Meetings are not my favorite thing to do at work.”
Joy snorted, making her way towards the kitchen. She yawned again before she washed her hands.
Uncovering the food bowls, she slowly set them on the table, along with forks and spoons and plate. She pulled out two cans of soda from the fridge, and after getting some straws, she put them on the table as well.
Sitting back down on the couch, Joy waited for her fiancé.

A few minutes later, Bryce stepped out of the bathroom, scrubbing at the water in his hair with his towel once more before he tossed it into the clothing hamper. He walked out to the dining room and smiled at the sight that greeted him.
“This looks amazing, babe. Are you ready to eat?” he asked, glancing over at her.
Joy nodded, grinning.
“Of course,” she hugged her stomach. “Thank you, Bryce. I hope it tastes as great as it looks.”
group
“I’m sure that it will. My fiancée is a wonderful cook, after all,” Bryce declared with a wink as he sat down in one of the seat.
(Shouldn’t it be fiancée?)
Joy blushed, taking her seat as well before she passed Bryce’s plate over to him.
“I think cream, pink and golden would be a good combo for the wedding colors,” she said. “And I haven’t found a wedding planner yet, but we’ll get there.”
group
(sigh Yeah… I fixed it. Lol.)
“We have plenty of time, babe. There’s no rush,” Bryce reassured her, patting her knee gently before taking a bite of food. “What about a venue? Did you find somewhere to have the wedding?”
Joy scrunched her nose.
“I haven’t,” she sighed. “I thought it would be nice checking them out together.”
group
Bryce smiled and nodded. “That’s a great plan. I think we should definitely do that. After we eat, maybe?”
Joy frowned, shaking her head.
“No,” she objected. “I want to cuddle with you and go to sleep. We can do it later.”
group
"That's even better. I missed you today. You and little Ambrose," Bryce said softly, smiling over at her.
Joy hugged her stomach again, blowing Bryce a kiss.
“We missed you, too,” she puckered her lips a little. “He only kicked once. I think he missed hearing your voice, too.”
group
Bryces smile widened into a large grin, and he bent down to her belly. "Did you miss me? Did you miss daddy? Daddy missed you and mommy, too…"
(Oml Bryce.)
Joy smiled brightly, feeling a kick. She laughed, running her fingers through his hair.
“I think he did,” she murmured. “He kicks a lot more when you speak.”
