Bella couldn’t remember feeling this self-conscious about herself. Had getting dressed ever been this difficult? Okay, it was a silly question. When she was pregnant with the twins, even Nathan’s shirts didn’t fit her huge bump. Now, however, her body felt so different. Her breasts were larger, her midsection not nearly as tight as it used to be. She’d brought a black, sleeveless dress for Rico and Ceci’s vow renewal ceremony, but she was having doubts. The dress fit snuggly around her breasts and drew attention to her tummy, nothing that a corset couldn’t handle, but gods she hated those things. Life was certainly different with the twins. They’d made it all the way to London with double the baby baggage, and they were pretty impressed with themselves. There had been a few difficult moments during the flight - some fussing from the girls - and some moments when they just didn’t seem happy being stuck on the plane. But in the end they’d made it and it hadn’t been as bad as they’d expected. As the girls slept soundly in their portable bassinet, Bella looked around the hotel room at all the other things they’d had to travel with. The maxi-cosies, stroller, carrier, clothes, the list went on and on. It wasn’t until they were packing back in Ithemba that reality had truly hit Bella. They could no longer make sudden trips across the world. All trips had to be planned meticulously. Like her outfits… Bella groaned in mild frustration and grabbed the corset from the bed. She held the corset between her knees to free her hands, and was just about to remove her top when she heard Nathan’s quiet voice. “You don’t have to do that.” Bella paused, her hands still on the hem of her top. “Well /that/ you can do. But no need to wear the corset. You look amazing.” A little smile budded on Bella’s lips. “Thanks,” she said a little half-heartedly. “No, I mean it.” He wrapped his arms around her from behind, a soft kiss pressed against her neck. “You look beautiful. Stunning.” Bella turned towards him and pecked his lips. “And you are the sweetest man on earth.” She smiled at him. She was about to say something more when Eryn’s fussing started to wake Mya as well. “Want to help me dress the girls up? They’ll be the girliest, pinkest things.” She made a face. “My mother and my sister will absolutely love it.” She chuckled and rolled her eyes as she got the outfits off the side table. “Don’t forget the cutest,” Nathan added. He lifted each of the girls out of the bassinet, cradling them against his strong chest. One of Bella’s favourite sights these days. “How about you get dressed and I’ll dress the girls. I think I can handle pink frills.” He chuckled. Bella grinned and placed the outfits on the bed. “Good luck. You know what a squirmer Eryn is.” Once again, though, Bella was impressed. In record time, she was dressed and the girls were a picture of pink perfection. “Perfect,” she said. “Yes, perfect.” She thought Nathan had just been agreeing with her, but she noticed he was smiling at her, admiration in his eyes… for her. Instantly, her heart melted.
“You never fail to make me feel like the most attractive woman in the world,” she said. “That’s because you are.”
