DUNDUNDUUUUUNNNN! NEW CHAPPIE ALREADY!
No… no… no… hmm, I thought, I simply can't find any reasonably priced apartments in the same area as the school. I mean you'd think with a whole bunch college students running around places would be more available, especially during this time of the year. I mean the fall semester start in less than a month! Ugh, this is so irritating! The only thing I can find is a cheap studio apartment. Now, I know what you're thinking 'You have money, why are you looking for some cheap apartment when you can just buy a house?' well to answer your question; I don't plan on mooching off of my mother's fortune! I may drink like my father (well used to), but I sure as hell am not going to just sit around without a job or a place of my own and just let my mom pay for everything. She's been way too good to me. Hopefully she gets over this soon, because I'm going to need her support. She's always been my rock but since I had told her I was pregnant, she barely looks at me. Three weeks, can you believe that?
I'm still living at home but I barely spend time there. I eat bathe and sleep there, but, I spend my free time at parks nearby. Any cash that comes into my possession I save. I haven't been wasting any money and I don't plan on it unless absolutely necessary. I even got a job, okay I got two jobs. I know it's a lot, but I need the money. I'm going to be responsible. I've been working as a receptionist in one of the offices at school and I found a waitress job for the weekend. I work seven days a week but with all the money I'm making, it's totally worth it.
Oh! This looks great! $1200, two bedrooms, attached kitchen/living room. Oh my god! Dishwasher and washing machine installed? This may be my dream home, now to give them a call.
"Hi, this is Rosalie Hale. I'm looking at an ad online for a two bedroom apartment you have for rent. I was wondering, is it still available?"
"Umm, let me see. Hold on for a sec." The speaker on the line said. I heard her typing and clicking, searching I guess. "Uh, yes, yes it is. Are you able to come down and see it now? We have a lot of tenants looking into this place but we have to check your background information and all that. If you clear and our building board likes you it should be no problem. Most of the applicants have some particular quality that they don't seem to like. You'll have to fill out a questionnaire and all that jazz too."
"I'll be right over. Is there and office in the building that I can go to meet you?"
"Yes. It's room 107. I'll see you in a bit."
"You definitely will!"
"Okay, so this is the living room/kitchen. Behind those two doors is the laundry room/storage room. Down the hall to the left is the master bedroom, right next door is the bathroom, and across the hall is the smaller room as well as a linen closet. Each bedroom also has its own closet." She said as she showed me around. I looked into the little room and I could picture the perfect nursery. The bathroom wasn't too bad either, it has a damn tub! I mean I've lived the life of luxury but this place is perfect for what I can pay! The neighborhood and the people it's perfect!
"How soon can I move in?" I asked. I had already gone through the preliminaries. Speaking to the board was fine, they were hesitant at first since I'm a college student but once I told them that I was having a baby they changed their minds. It was like the baby made me a different person and to be honest it did!
"Well, we still have some renovations to make but they should be done by the end of the month. Then you may move in! Let's go downstairs and get the papers signed. You can review the contract before you sign anything. Come on." She said. Such a sweet woman, apparently she lives in the building. I'm going to have to do something nice for her when I move in. She'd explained the contract to me in and out after I was approved. She talked to me and let me know that she admired my courage to keep moving forward. A sweet old lady, like the grandmother I never had. In a way she helped me to continue my belief that everything will be okay.
"Honey?" my mother knocked on the door while opening it. I had been staring at my belly, poking at it hoping for something, anything, to happen. I looked up and smiled. My mother came in sighing she smirked at my actions and I think I may have heard a little giggle.
"Hi mommy, how have you been? I've missed you."
"Oh honey I've missed you too!" she said reaching down to hug me. We hugged for a while crying and laughing all for an unapparent reason. "Sweetheart I'm so sorry for how I've been acting. You must be under so much stress and all I could do was act like a child."
"Mom, no! It's my fault entirely I know I messed up but I really am trying to fix things. I'm trying to make my life better. I got jobs; I found a nice apartment and everything. I need your help but not with money, I just need your support! I need to do this on my own I just need to know you'll be there for me!"
"Jobs? Sweetheart you know we are more than perfectly capable of taking care of you two! Please don't insult me and tell me you're moving out. I want to see my grandbaby as much as possible! I know that won't happen if you move out!" She ranted.
"Mom, everything is settled. I'll be moving in at the end of the month. But, maybe, maybe you can come with me to my appointment today? I'd love it if you came. I've had to go to my last two alone, and as much as I love my doctor, he's not you and neither is his nurse!"
"Ultrasound? I'd be honored. Do you have any pictures?" and we continued talking.
She came with me to get my check up done; we went by my new apartment and since I'm not letting her help me pay for much, she decided that she would continue to pay for my schooling until I'm done completely. We talked like old times and enjoyed each other's company. She obviously tried to get me to tell her who my child's father was, but I knew I couldn't say anything. This would be between myself and Emmett and of course my two best girls. Well, they're now second in line to my little one. I'm having a girl!
