Caleb P.O.V
"Are you alright, darling?", Aidan asked as I shifted uncomfortably in the plane seat, groaning. His dual-coloured eyes glanced up from his book, and he lifted a hand to push his glasses further up the bridge of his nose, frowning. "Uncomfortable?"
"Very,", I huffed. "I forgot how awkward plane seats are. It's hurting my back,", he closed his book, placing it in his lap and reaching over, grabbing my hand and giving it a comforting squeeze.
"Only another hour now, and we'll be there,", he reassured me, leaning down to peck my forehead as I leaned into him, nuzzling my face into his shirt. "How about you try to get some rest? If the air hostess comes around, I'll get you some water and something to eat,"
"Sounds good to me,", I hummed eyes fluttering open for a moment as I tilted my head up, pecking his cheek before settling once more, the sensation of his hands rhythmically rubbing his hand over my stomach lulling me into a light sleep.
Aidan P.O.V
"Well, hello again!", the woman from inside the airport greeted me, making me look up once more from my book with a small smile. "Can I get the lovely pair anything?", she gestured to her trolly, and I hummed, reaching for my wallet.
"Yeah, would I be able to have one water, one tea and some crackers, please?", I asked.
"Of course! Is there anything else I can get for your boyfriend? We may have some heating packs if his back is hurting,", she suggested, handing me my order and grabbing the card machine. "That'll be eight dollars, please,"
"Thank you,", I replied, tapping my card. "And yeah, if you do have any, that would be brilliant. Just let me know how much they are,", she had scurried off before I finished talking, and I chuckled, watching her return a minute later with a heating pack in her hand. "How much do I owe you?"
"Oh, nothing at all. It's on us! It's the least I can to do ensure he has a more comfortable journey,", she waved it off, giving another smile before beginning to move the trolley to the next row.
"Wait!", I spoke, and she turned her head. "Uh... Thank you. He's had a sore back since we set off, so this is a massive help,", she hummed and giggled.
"As I said, it's no problem, dear! Good luck with your little one,", and with that, she returned to her job, and I smiled, turning to the sleeping Caleb and shaking him gently, watching his hazel eyes flutter open slowly.
"What's wrong?", he mumbled, voice coated with sleep. Grinning, I moved some hair away from his eyes and kissed his forehead before placing the heating pack on his back, watching in amusement as he sighed happily, leaning back in his seat. "Oh my god, that's amazing,"
"Glad it's helping, love,", I told him. "Oh, here's your water and some crackers. I figured you'd want a snack, either now or later on,", blushing, he nodded, taking the bottle from me and having a sip.
"Put those in my bag for now, please. I feel a little sick, so it's probably best I don't have anything else,", he explained, making me hum and do as he'd requested before sinking back into my seat and glancing over at where Riley and Jordan were sat, smirking upon seeing them fast asleep, cuddled up to each other. "Oh, we need a picture of this,", I smirked.
"Jordan will kill us, you know,", Caleb warned, but he let out a little giggle and pulled his phone out, clearly not actually bothered. Doing the same, I snapped a few photos and then put my phone away, pulling my boyfriend closer to me and placing a hand on his growing belly. "I love you,"
"Well, that was random,", I chuckled. "But I love you, too. Now have some of your water so I know you're not dehydrated. Think you can last another half an hour on here?", he rolled his eyes, but nonetheless unscrewed the lid and drank a little, humming a small "Maybe,", in response to my question. "Alright, that's good. You tired?"
"Not really,", he shrugged. "Just sor--,", he cut himself off with a gasp, his hand shooting down to touch his stomach, feeling around for something. Furrowing my brows, I watched as a smile grew on his face and he yanked my hand, moving it to the same spot as his. "I... I think they kicked?"
"Seriously?", I questioned, eyes widening. I focused on feeling his stomach, hands pausing as I awaited their next movements. Sure enough, I eventually felt a soft thump against my hand, my grin growing to match that of my boyfriend's. "That's amazing, love. I... wow. Is it not hurting you?"
"Not really. It feels a bit uncomfortable, but knowing that's our children in there, it feels so special,", he explained, eyes welling with tears. Moving quickly, my hands moved to hold his face, softly caressing his cheeks as I planted a quick kiss on his lips.
"I can't wait to raise them with you,", I whispered, using my thumbs to wipe away the tears. "You're so, so amazing. And so strong, for carrying them. It's not too long until we get to meet them, now,"
"I know, it's surreal,", he muttered, grinning before he pulled a face. Furrowing my brow, I silently asked him what was wrong. "I need to pee,", I laughed and removed my hands, letting him unbuckle himself as I did the same, helping him out of his seat and to the bathroom, then waiting near the door in case he needed me.
"Oi, dumbass,", a voice grumbled from behind me, and I jumped, turning my head to see Jordan. "The seatbelt sign is on. We're gonna land soon. Why aren't you in your seat?"
"Caleb's in the bathroom,", I explained, leaning against the wall and rubbing my eyes as the door opened, revealing my boyfriend. Greeting him with a smile, I gestured for us all to move. "Let's get back to our seats, then,"

"Thank God we're off of that thing. It was awful in there,", I whined, placing a hand on my stomach, watching from a chair as everyone began grabbing their bags off of the large conveyor belt. Riley, who was half-asleep beside me, hummed in agreement, resting his head on my shoulder. "Sleepy?", I chuckled, leaning my head on his.
"Extremely. But we're gonna get to the hotel, get changed, and relax by the beach, so it'll be worth it,", he reminded, more so himself than me, and I nodded, closing my eyes for a moment before sighing, and hoisting myself onto my feet. "Hey, where are you going?"
"Bathroom. Someone's got some really strong-smelling food in their bag,", I gagged, rushing off to the bathroom with a hand over my mouth, and kneeling on the floor, my throat burning as I released the contents of my stomach, eventually dry heaving when I had nothing left to throw up. "Shit,", I cursed, leaning back on the wall of the stall for a moment, panting heavily.
"Caleb?", a voice called, knocking softly on the locked door. Reaching up with a shaky hand, I unlocked the door, allowing them to open the stall door, revealing - of course - my boyfriend. "Oh, darling,", he cooed, crouching down and smoothing my hair away from my eyes, planting a soft kiss on my forehead. "We've got all the bags. Will you be alright to go to the hotel, now?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine,", I reassured, allowing him to help me to my feet and flush the chain of the toilet as I walked to the sink, washing my hands and drying them. "Let's get back to the group,", he hummed, wrapping an arm around my waist as the two of us left the bathroom together, being rushed to the bus by Matthew.
"Chop chop! We have to check in soon,", he reminded us, ushering us through the doors before hopping on himself, and being situated in the driver's seat. Aidan guided me to a spot at the back, near an open window so that I could get some air. "Right, everybody, seatbelts on! We're leaving now!"
"Man, I'm so excited for this week,", Felix grinned, peaking over the top of our seats. With a laugh, I nodded, agreeing.
"I know! It's gonna be great. Time away from school, and being on the beach. So manly! I'm gonna tan!", Ry exclaimed, flexing his muscles. "Are you excited, dude? This might be your last holiday before the babies come,"
"Definitely. I can't wait to spend some time with you guys,", I nodded, leaning into Aidan's shoulder as he pecked my cheek. Yeah, I could get used to this.
