Chapter 82: Same thoughts

Lizzie's POV: Rick's words touched Lizzie. It was nice to know that he saw her for who she really was and appreciated her for it. She was so used to feeling like she had to be perfect all the time, but with Rick, she could just be herself. "You make me feel comfortable in my own skin," she said, her voice soft. Rick took her hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze. "That's exactly how you should feel," he said. "You're perfect just the way you are." "We need to go to the doctor's when you are back." Rick nodded. "Yes, we should," he said. "I want to make sure everything is going well with the pregnancy and that you're getting the care you need." Lizzie felt a sense of relief at his words. It was nice to know that he was taking the pregnancy seriously and wanted to make sure she was healthy. "I'm glad you're being so supportive," she said. "It means a lot to me." Rick smiled, his eyes filled with love. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what," he said. ******* T
