You will help me, right?

I woke up with a jolt. Yes, that's exactly what I thought. Our children moved for the first time. As usual, I was hugging Lena in my sleep, my hand was on her stomach, and this little kick made me open my eyes.

- Lena? - I whispered. - Did you feel it? Or did I dream it?

- Wait, maybe there will be another kick for confidence, - she whispered with joy in her voice.

I approached the stomach, kissed it and started a conversation, as I usually do.

- Guys, I know you can hear me. Give me another kick on the hand, but not too hard, so that it doesn't hurt your mother, - and we froze in anticipation of movement.

A couple of minutes passed and we felt a blow, then another.

- We are happy to feel your movements, - Lena said and began to stroke the stomach.

- Very soon we will hold you in our arms, how I look forward to this moment.

- Don't rush things, darling. Let me enjoy every moment of our life together.

- I can't imagine my life without you, as if that past life never existed.

- You won't get rid of us that easily, - Lena laughed. - We have a wedding in 3 days. You remember that, right?

- How can I forget this significant event? When I've waited for it for so long. I won't have a runaway bride?

- Except to go to the toilet.

And I hope the neighbors didn't hear our laughter, because it was 3:00 a.m.

We woke up again by 9 a.m. Our breakfast was interrupted by the ringing of my mobile.

- I wonder who missed me? - I grumbled and went to the room to get my mobile.

The guys who helped with the question about the attack on Lena called.

- Hi Igor, do you have a few minutes?

- Hi, Pasha. Of course, did something happen?

- No, no, I know that you are busy preparing for the wedding. But here's the question, do you want to work with us in the office? Don't rush to say "No."

- You know that I'm not very good as a security guard, and that's putting it mildly, - he is a comedian, of course.

- I'm not inviting you to go to the sites. We want to offer you a position in the office, to deal with documentation and teach newcomers theory.

- And what are you for?

- We are a little behind schedule, - and the guys' laughter can be heard in the background. - We don't have enough hands, you think about it. We'll wait.

- Okay, I'll discuss it with Lena. We don't have to give an answer right away, do we?

- Of course not, and also, we will try not to be late for your wedding.

- Okay, we'll wait for you.

I went into the kitchen, thinking about the guys' offer. I wonder if it's worth it.

- Darling, I got an offer.

- What kind?

- The guys from the security company called and offered me a job.

- That's great, isn't it? - Lena has always supported me and that's one of the reasons I love her.

- Probably yes. I haven't given them an answer yet, I decided to discuss everything with you.

- What's the gist of the job? I hope it won't involve field trips? I definitely won't support that, darling, - anger began to show and here I need to agree with her in time, otherwise the argument with my personal doctor will escalate into a scandal.

- Darling, I don't know exactly what the job will be. I only know that I'll be in the office. I think I'll be training newbies. Let me find out all the details after the wedding?

- Okay. And I'm very happy for you, - Lena calmed down and came up to me with hugs.

It's hard to resist kissing her. I take every opportunity to hug her and kiss her, and then watch her blossom with happiness. If she's happy, I'm happy.

- How do you feel?

- I feel happy next to you.

- And I'm happy, I love you more than anything in my life. No, that's not it, I love you.

Preparations for the wedding were hectic. It turns out that organizing such events is not a one-two and done process. Lots of calls, meetings, purchases. The most annoying thing is that it's only one day, one holiday. Then only memories remain. But what memories.

I wasn't afraid to show my rounded figure, so there were no problems when choosing a dress. I looked at all the options, styles and models. I tried on more than 15 dresses, but I finally found what I liked. The wedding dress was champagne-colored, strapless and sleeveless, the corset supported the chest and, most importantly, did not press on the stomach. The lush bottom does not interfere with walking. And here I am, standing in front of the mirror in a wedding dress, the veil slightly covering my shoulders, my eyes shining with happiness. I could not even dream that this day would come. Lera is spinning around me, adjusting my hair, then the tulle on my skirt.

- Lenka, you are so beautiful, - I think she will never get tired of repeating this to me.

- You know, for once I agree with you, - and we start laughing. - I finally like the way I look.

- Oh-oh-oh, I'm so glad to hear it. Now we can officially say that we are ready for the wedding.

- We did it, I can't even believe it. Let's go to a cafe, have a bite to eat. I'm hungry.

- Elena Vladimirovna, I like your mood.

Having paid for the dress, we went to a cafe not far from home. There were no more plans for today, we could relax with peace of mind.

In a cozy cafe on the corner of the street, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mixed with the smell of pastries, we sat at a table and just kept silent. We chose a table by the window to enjoy the sun's rays and watch the passers-by.

The conversation started by itself, we started discussing the wedding and the guests. With each passing minute the conversation became more and more lively and emotional. But without noticing it, we started remembering our student years, laughing at old jokes and realizing how much we missed that company. Time flew by, and soon desserts appeared on the table: a delicate cheesecake and a chocolate cake. We couldn't resist the temptation to try something sweet.

Light conversation, delicious coffee and dessert, the opportunity to forget about all the worries around us. We needed this "outing" to understand how much we need each other.
