RICKY P.O.V
I worked out if this baby was born on the 18th of may then Brax would be the dad, If they were born on the 25th may then Brax wasn't the dad. I still had three weeks left and I was huge.I had become a whale. I was beginning to miss home. We had finally moved into a house and Brax got a job. It did leave me at home alone sometimes but I was alright with that.
"What do you want to do today?" Brax asked as we both lay in bed.
"I dunno"
"Sit around and eat Nutella all day?"
"Tempted" I joked "But no"
I felt the baby kick and I laughed.
"did he kick" Brax asked
"Yes they just kicked"
Brax put his hand on my belly. I could see he hoped it was going to be a boy but I didn't want to become attached because I knew I wasn't keeping it.
"Are you fine with this" I asked
"Yeah, under the circumstances I think it's the best thing"
Under the circumstances, I hated those three words. Brax's phone began to ring. He rolled over and picked it up off the floor. He let out a big sigh
"What?" I asked
"I've got to go into work this afternoon"
"Really" I questioned
"Do you want food on the table tonight?" He joked
"Yeah OK" I replied "So what do you want o do till this afternoon?"
"Go to the beach"
"Is that a joke" I questioned
He looked at me and thought, then he laughed "You said it, not me Monstro"
"Ha. ha. ha." I said putting one of his hoodies on
"Don't you have any clothes"
"None that fit" I said "Plus it's freezing outside"
"Its no that cold"
"Yeah right, you've got crock skin, you cant feel anything"
"Your really cold arent you"
"yes" i laughed
"Come here" He said wrapping his arms around me
Later when afternoon came Brax had to go to work.
"Do you know when you'll be back?" I asked
"Late" He replied
"This sucks" I replied "Saturday night home alone"
"Yeah I know but we've still got tomorrow night" He said putting his jumper on
"It's just one night, what could we miss" I joked
"Love you" He said coming up to me
"Love you too"I replied looking up at him and kissing him on the lips
I watched him walk out the door. I felt the baby kick as if they were saying goodbye. I looked down at my belly, I wasn't ready. I would never be ready, but this baby had to come out sooner or later. I only had 3-4 weeks left.
I sat on the couch watching TV. There was never anything good on, on a Saturday night. They just played movies again and again that you had seen a thousand times already. I turned the TV off and went to bed. It was too cold to have a shower, not unless you wanted to freeze. I looked at the clock next to my bed. It was only 7:30. As soon as my head hit the pillow is fell asleep straight away.
I woke up to a pain in my stomach. I thought it was just the baby moving. Apparently they did that a few weeks before they were due. I looked at the clock it was 11:57. I sat up and put my feet over the edge of the bed the pain came back. It felt like a dull stabbing me in my back.I got up and walked out to the kitchen and got a glass of water. I was starting to feel really tired. I felt another cramp in my stomach and leaned on the edge of the sink waiting for it to pass. It eventually went but still lingered a bit. I turned around to walk over to the table but before I could there was another pain in my stomach. This time it was much more worse than the last few. I dropped my glass and collapsed to the floor clutching my stomach. I screamed from the pain. I was scared and home alone. I tired to crawl over to the phone but I was in too much pain. The pain would come and go. I eventually got to the phone. I had it in my hand trying to call Brax but dropped it on the floor from the pain. I tried to call him again hoping he'd answer his phone. He never had his phone on at work but I was hoping this would be a one off
"Hello" I heard him say on the other end of the line
"W-Where are you" I asked
"On my way home, why is something wrong?"
"It's coming"
"The baby?"
"Yes" I yelled as the pain got worse
"I'm almost there alright"
"Please hurry" I cried
"It's gonna be OK"
I sat on the kitchen floor crying from the pain. I saw headlights pull up in the driveway.
"Ricky!" I heard him yell as he walked in
"Over here" I cried
He came running over to me. I heard the glass crunch as he stood on it
"It's gonna be OK" He said trying to help me up
"It's too early" I cried
"Come on" He said walking me out to the car
