Chapter 9-Girl Meets Month 1
A few days have passed and Amy and Allen went back home, today Josh and I are heading shopping for the baby and my mom and Topanga are coming with since they've had babies they know what we need to buy but Josh and I are getting serious about the baby now it was actually his idea. Tonight after shopping it's family game night which I cannot wait for, it's been ages since we've had the family game night and with everything being hectic with the baby news we haven't had a chance to play but we are tonight. I am wearing a pair of black leggings, a white knot Beatles top, an denim jacket that says CALIFORNIA on the back of it in white and a pair of black boot heels. My hair is straight and I have on black mascara, black eyeliner, my eyebrows, nude matte lipstick, concealer, bronzer and highlighter. Finishing off with a pair of white feather earrings, my gold necklace with my name on, a few bracelets and my pandora princess ring. After finishing getting ready I check myself in the mirror.
Knock Knock!
"Hey beautiful" I hear as I turn to see Josh leaning against the door frame, "Ready for shopping?" Josh asks walking to me, I wrap my arms around his neck as he wraps his around my waist and he pulls me into a kiss.
"I think the question is are you ready for shopping Josh? Guys hate shopping and remember you took me shopping because you said you would at bowling and you complained the entire time" I laugh slightly.
"That's different that was clothes shopping and endless hours of you trying on fifteen different dresses, this is baby shopping" Josh says.
"I looked good in all fifteen of those and I know that because you couldn't take your eyes off my the entire time" I smirk and he leans in to kiss me passionately.
"MAYA...JOSH LET'S GO!" Topanga shouts from the living room and we pull away sighing.
"Come on you know she'll just come and drag us out, we can continue this later" I say grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the room, we make our way into the living room hand in hand and we head to the mall to start baby shopping, honestly Topanga and my mom have this whole thing planned they're wrote a list of everything we need, I love them both but they need to stop treating Josh and I like we're babies who can't shop for ourselves, everyone has been treating me like a baby my parents, Mr Matthews and Topanga and Josh's parents, they're all so concerned about the baby and me not being stressed that they won't let me do anything and it's annoying. The mall has a baby shop, which is basically everything you need when you're having a baby so we all make our way to there. As soon as we get there my mom and Topanga walk off to get everything and leaving Josh and I wondering around.
"Don't you think it should be us doing this it is our baby" I tell Josh and he chuckles.
"Cory told me that Topanga wanted another baby and he didn't so this is probably the closest she's going to get" Josh says and I roll my eyes "Something wrong babe? You've been a little down the past few days" Josh asks.
"Fine" I say bluntly.
"Maya what's wrong? I know when you're upset or mad or down" Josh says.
"I hate that you know me so well" I tell Josh who chuckles before I turn and face him "I just hate the fact everyone is babying me and no one thinks we can do this by ourselves" I say.
"Yeah I know what you mean we should be shopping for our baby not them" Josh chuckles.
"It's not just that" I sigh "Everyone keeps reminding us that we have to make a lot of decisions as if we don't know, and all the adults keep treating me like a little kid, every time I sneeze they think I'm getting a fever and worry about the baby, every time I want to go out and do something with someone they get super protective and want to know everything it's just so annoying everyone telling me what to do" I said.
"I know babe, I'm 19 and I've got Cory, my dad and Shawn telling me what to do" Josh says and I chuckle.
"I'm gonna go talk to them, I'll be back in a minute" I tell Josh kissing his cheek before walking over to my mom and Topanga as they talk about which baby monitor would be better "Hey" I say.
"Hey baby girl, ok so we've got two prams picked out but we're stuck on which one to get" Mom says.
"I need to talk to you both" I tell them "You know I love you both but shouldn't Josh and I be the ones shopping for our baby? It's like none of you think we know what we're doing, I'm grateful for the fact you want to help but I'll ask for help if I need it, this is something Josh and I want to do together and it's our baby we want to do all this" I explain.
"You're right, we just both missed having a baby around and doing all of this stuff but you're right this is something you and Josh should experience" Topanga says and she hands me the list.
"And another thing" I say "I'd appreciate it if you guys didn't try to baby me and Josh and tell us what to do, I mean before the baby news you weren't but now every time I want to go out you get protective and want to know every detail and every time I sneeze you get worried I'm ill and then don't let me out of bed all day" I say "And tell Mr Matthews and Shawn that Josh is 19 they can't tell him what to do" I say.
"You're right, we've all been babying you both and you're old enough to not be babied we were just worried about the baby and we didn't think how you two felt" Mom says "But you're right you're old enough to do this on your own so there is the list and we have some shopping of our own to do so how about we meet at the cafe in the mall say 12" Mom says and I nod before she hugs me and they leave and I make my way over to Josh.
"How'd it go?" Josh asks wrapping his arms around me.
"Good" I smile "Come on we have baby stuff to shop for" I say pulling Josh away as he chuckles, we spend ages looking for baby stuff like a bottle to give the baby milk and all the essentials that go with that, I decided I'm not going to breastfeed I know people say it's better for the baby rather than formula milk but the fact is I'm not comfortable with breastfeeding in public or just in general I mean I'm seventeen it's just not something I'm comfortable with I may be in the future when I'm older but not right now, my mom told me she didn't breastfeed me and I turned out fine. Josh and I keep shopping for stuff like a baby monitor, changing bag to put nappies and everything else in really, baby spoons/bowls/sippy cups and bibs for when the baby starts having normal food and pacifiers. My mom and Topanga wrote down a lot more on the list like clothes and prams but Josh and I decided to buy them when we know what sex the baby is and same with the cot and everything like that so we can just buy more things the further along I get "Who knew baby shopping could be so tiring my feet are killing me" I say as Josh and I walk hand in hand to the cafe in the mall with bags in hand.
"I think that has more to do with the pregnancy rather than shopping Maya" Josh chuckles and I nod "Let's get you sat down" Josh says as we walk into the cafe seeing my mom and Topanga.
"How was it? Did you get everything?" Topanga asks as Josh and I sat down and they look through the bags.
"Not everything we're leaving the clothes and the cot and everything like that until we find out the gender of the baby so we can choose the colours" I say.
"And the boxes they come in will take up a lot of room so we're just gonna wait a few more months" Josh says and I nod.
"Where am I going to put all this?" I ask.
"Oh I have a few colour plastic containers I used when buying stuff for Riles and Auggie you can use them" Topanga says and I thank her.
"Can we order? I'm so hungry and so tired" I whine laying my head on Josh's shoulder as his hand in laced through mine stroking my hand and he kisses my head.
"What'd you want?" Josh asks.
"Um tuna pasta salad and a milkshake" I tell Josh.
"Vanilla" Josh says and I nod "I'll go order" Josh says, I kiss his cheek before he walks off.
"Aw" My mom and Topanga coo making me roll my eyes. Josh comes back and after lunch we head back shopping to just make sure we have everything and then Josh and I head back to my apartment to put the baby stuff there and Topanga brings the containers over so we can put the baby stuff in and then we head over to the Matthews apartment in time for family game night.
"Hey everyone!" I say as Josh and I walk inside, all my friends are here and Topanga, Auggie and Mr Matthews are here as well.
"Hey how was shopping?" Riley asks "Did you buy cute baby clothes? Let me see!" Riley says making me chuckle as Josh sits down on the chair pulling me on his lap wrapping his arms around my waist.
"No we didn't Riles we don't even know if it's a boy or a girl" I say and she nods her head "Are we playing or not?" I ask them and they nod and we start playing.
Family game night was no different Topanga won, Riley ate a lot of popcorn, Auggie stormed off after he lost, Cory complained when Lucas got Riley and her friends just watched it all go down. Soon enough people started to leave and just me, Maya, Riley, Lucas and Zay left, Topanga and Cory went to help Auggie with something. Maya fell asleep soon after the game finished and is sat sideways on my lap cuddled into my chest with my arms wrapped around her, not surprising she fell asleep after shopping all day and playing family game night it was now 11 and being pregnant tires her out.
"Hey so after the baby is born what's gonna happen? I mean you're at your apartment with Andrew and Maya's at home" Zay says.
"Oh yeah I forgot about that have you two talked about it?" Riley asks.
"Not really, we're pretty busy with just trying to sort things out for the baby right now we haven't really thought about it" I say.
"You probably should" Lucas says and I nod.
"Hey" Maya softly says yawning and lifting her head off my chest "I fell asleep didn't I?" Maya asks and we all nod "I'm so tired from today" Maya says laying her head back on my chest and I kiss her head.
"Want to crash at mine for the night?" I ask Maya and she nods "Let's get going before you fall asleep again" I chuckle and we stand up, Maya hugs Riley goodbye as I say goodbye to Cory and Maya and I head to my apartment, Andrew was staying at Charlotte's tonight because he went to a party. I strip down into my boxers and Maya walks back out from the bathroom without her make-up, which she doesn't even need cause she's gorgeous without it, I climb into bed and Maya gets undressed into her underwear and takes off her bra, damn she's sexy.
"Stop staring Josh" Maya says without even looking at me and she puts on my shirt and starts buttoning it up.
"How did you know I was staring?" I ask Maya.
"Because you're a guy, and when a guy sees a naked girl he stares" Maya smirks at me as she walks over finishing buttoning up the shirt.
"Aren't I allowed to stare at my sexy as hell naked girlfriend?" I ask Maya pulling her down on the bed as she giggles before climbing in bed with me, I wrap my arm around her pulling her into my chest as my hand rests on her ass and she traces patterns on my chest looking down at me.
"Trust me you can stare all you want" Maya leans down to brush her lips against mine, I place my hand on her cheek and deeply kiss her "Today has been exhausting" Maya sighs and I chuckle before kissing her cheek.
"That's a shame cause this morning you promised me a make out session when Topanga interrupted us" I chuckle.
"Tomorrow" Maya says "Promise" She kisses my cheek and I pull her closer.
"Can I talk to you about something?" I ask her and she nods "What are we going to do when the baby arrives? You live at home and I live here with Andrew" I say.
"I forgot about that, I've been so busy with everything else and plus I keep forgetting everything" Maya says and I chuckle "I don't know" Maya sighs before sitting up running a hand through her hair and I rest my hand on her thigh.
"It would be better for us to move in somewhere together, that way when the baby does come I can be here every day and during the night considering it will cry" I say.
"Do you want that? I mean don't get me wrong Josh you know I love you, it's just crazy we've been together a month and have a baby, said I love you and now thinking about moving in together all because of the baby I just don't want to move to fast and we screw everything up" Maya says.
"Yeah I know this isn't a typical relationship" I chuckle and she agrees "Things are moving fast but we don't exactly have a choice" I say.
"Josh..." Maya whispers and I nod for her to continue "Do you love me? Do you want all this? Or are you just doing this because of the baby and you think you have to? We said I love you after two weeks and you want us to move in together are you doing this because you love me? Or because you don't have a choice but to do all this because of the baby?" Maya asks me looking worried how could she think that, I sit up running my hand through her hair as she looks up at me.
"Maya of course I love you" I tell her "I'm not just saying that because of the baby I do love you, I love everything about you you're incredibly beautiful and sexy, I love that cute little giggle you have and I love how you cuddle into me all the time, I love how cute you look when you draw and how adorable you look in my shirts" I chuckle at the last part and she giggles "See I love that" I say "We both know if we didn't have this baby we wouldn't be talking about moving in together but we are having this baby and just because we're having this baby doesn't mean we have to move in together I could stay here and you at your parents but I want us to move in together yes so I can be there for the baby but to be there for you as well and to be a family, everything I'm choosing to do Maya is because of you not just because of the baby" I say "I love you more than anything I always will nothing will ever change that" I say.
"I love you too Josh" Maya smiles brightly before leaning up to kiss me, we lean back on the bed as she climbs over me kissing me harder and I move my hands over her sexy as hell body, I flip us over as she giggles and start kissing her neck "I'm taking we're having that make out session now then" Maya says as I move my hands under the shirt to grab her waist.
"You promised me" I say before kissing her again and she wraps her arms around me, we make out for a while before we stop and cuddle together in bed as we drift to sleep with my gorgeous girl in my arms.
