The movers kept bringing in the furniture and she was impressed with everything he picked out. He had excellent taste and she couldn't imagine she would've picked anything different.
"I want to show you something and remember if you don't like any of it, we can return it and get what you want. But I wanted to help you since you're on bed rest," he told her, as they slowly made their way up the beautiful staircase.
He opened a door and she felt tears fall, as she stepped into the room. It was fully stocked with baby furniture. He'd thought of everything. She walked over to the gorgeous canopied bed and looked inside, excited for the day her daughter would lay her little head in there.
"I didn't pick out any of the bedding or anything because Jasmine said you'd want to choose your own theme but she said you should like this cherry wood," he said with some apprehension. He couldn't tell by her tears if she liked it or hated it. He stood there waiting for the verdict.
She walked up to him and wrapped him in her arms, as much as her large belly would allow. "Thank you Drew, it's all perfect," she said with a sniffle. The more things he did, the more she realized how hard it was going to be to let him go.
There was a gorgeous changing table and matching dresser and the room even had a walk in closet. She didn't understand the need for a walk-in closet in a baby room but she was sure he'd want to fill the shelves full. He'd definitely be the type of guy to spoil his daughter. Even when they were no longer together, he'd pamper and love his daughter. Trinity felt too much pain thinking of them not being together so she decided not to think about it.
There was an incredibly inviting rocking chair, not far from the crib. She walked over and sat down and sighed as she sunk down deep into it. It was luxurious and glided smoothly and silently back and forth. She could feel the heaviness of her eyes, as she rocked lightly and looked over the room.
He pushed a button and a step came up to cushion her swollen feet and the back laid down slightly. She could feel herself drifting off to sleep and decided not to fight it. She was tired from the busy day. She had a feeling she'd sleep often in the wonderful chair.
Drew watched Trinity, as she closed her eyes and drifted into sleep. She was so unbelievably beautiful it was hard for him to take his eyes off her. He knew they still had a ways to go but he also knew he couldn't give her up. They were a family and he'd do anything to keep them together.
She'd come to realize how important it was for them to stay together. He'd bought her the home and as she decorated it and settled in more, he knew she wouldn't want to leave. It was really hard for him not to demand she bend to his will but he'd figured out quickly that didn't work so well with her. It was much better for him to coerce her than to force. He'd just make her life too appealing for her to want to leave.
He knew his largest hurdle was convincing her he was nothing like the business men she'd dated in the past. He'd lied to her in the beginning but she had to realize why. Maybe she'd trust him more when she realized he'd put the house in her name and he wanted nothing more out of her than her love.
He tucked a blanket around her, glad she was resting and went back down the stairs to get things put away. His cousins would be there anytime to help him. He had a lot to do and wanted the house to be set up and not full of boxes. The sooner she saw the home as permanent, the better off they'd be.
Chapter Ten
"This place is beautiful, Trinity," Jasmine said with enthusiasm, as they walked from the front door together. "I'm at your beck and call to fill up that library," she added.
"It's pretty great but this is only temporary so I don't want to add too much right now," Trinity said with some caution. Jasmine chose to ignore the comment.
"I'd love to go through those catalogs with you if you need any help. We need to get you tucked up on the couch before your warden finds you're on your feet," she said with a laugh. Trinity knew she was joking but she wasn't far off. Drew seemed to have a radar go off anytime she got up for longer than a few seconds. She was thinking this bed rest stuff was going to raise her blood pressure far worse than taking a simple walk around would.
"I'd really appreciate it. It's all a bit overwhelming but since I can't really go anywhere, or do anything physical right now, it's kind of nice to have something to do," Trinity told her. The two women sat down and soon had racked up the credit card with purchases. Trinity wouldn't have ordered half the items but Jasmine insisted. Plus, she was irritated with Drew for being such a prison guard and was hoping to irritate him a bit with the spending, even if it was on his own home.
"These boys have far too much money and it needs spent," Jasmine said with a laugh. Trinity had the feeling he wasn't going to even notice the dent she'd made to his bank account. It kind of took the pleasure out of her little tantrum. She was enjoying ordering the baby things. She couldn't wait for the items to be delivered. It was going to be so exciting to see the nursery all finished.
