MY BABY BRANDON! :(


Food Issues

Ryder woke up in the morning, finding himself alone in the bed. Again as usual. He sat up and looked over at the floor finding Marley's pajama bottoms and top on the floor and pushed to the side. He sat up and hoped that she was just downstairs making food for herself. Ever since the day after the birthday party, about ten days ago, Marley had been waking up earlier to go out for jogs so she could do some form of exercise. She barley ever worked out but now pregnant, he does remember that she mentioned she wanted to keep much shape in possible.

He just hoped she wouldn't take too far.

Ryder got up from the bed, showered, went back into his room and dressed then proceeded to head back downstairs to make some toast and cereal before work. Marley wasn't there, as he guessed when he first walked in, and halfway into breakfast the door opened and Marley entered the house. "Ryder? You home?"

"Kitchen babe!" Ryder called out. He looked up as soon as he heard her feet walking into the kitchen and found his beautiful wife with her in a long length pink tank top, workout leggings, her hair tied up high and in sneakers. She walked over to the fridge and pulled out a yogurt cup. "Jogging again?"

"Of course. I have to keep in shape." Marley said as she opened the yogurt.

"Alright, just don't take it too hard."

"What do you mean?" Marley asked him.

"I just don't want you to think that you have to keep in shape honey," Ryder said softly. "You know I just want you to be happy and healthy, whether that means blowing up to the size of a balloon as the baby grows. And I just want the baby to be born without any problems."

"I swear I won't go too crazy." The liar herself told the most honest and caring person in the world, the same person who she hate to see hurt because of the actions she had been doing for over the past week now. Purging. Her mind wandered if baby had gained anything at all.

"Okay," Ryder kissed her cheek. "Just gonna grab my jacket."

"Fine." Marley said as she finished her yogurt. Once Ryder was up at the top of the stairs Marley looked down at her baby belly and rubbed it. "Hi baby...don't worry, Mommy is going to keep the food inside from now on. I promise. Just like I did on the fourth of July, remember? Mommy kept in all those burgers you wanted. And corn on the cob, and the chicken fingers...and the pizza." Her voice became shaky. "And the cake..." She smiled. "Someone is a very hungry baby, aren't they?"

She continued rubbing her baby belly and laughing at her inner thoughts.

Two minutes later Ryder came in without Marley noticing. He stopped and admire the scene; his wife cuddling their soon-to-come baby, her hand gently rubbing along her bump and pressed it so she could play with baby. He watched the scene for a few minutes before walking over and surprising Marley with a kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you tonight. Have a good day Marley. Bye baby." Ryder placed his hand over Marley's and rubbed it.

"Bye." Marley said to him.

After he left Marley finished her yogurt cup than made herself a smoothie to-go. She showered upstairs and dressed in a blue dress that could barley fit around her baby belly "I have to get clothes soon...but what if Kitty happens to be there? I don't want her to mess with me but she will anyways. I guess I'll just go on a day when at least two girls can come with me.. Saturday?"

Marley grabbed her phone and sent a mass message to all her girl friends, hoping at least two could come. One at the least. Unique, Santana, Brittany, Blaine (who was talking to Brittany about something in person) and Vinessa replied they could come along.

She finished getting dressed and headed off for work. She didn't want to bring her usual sandwich and get in trouble with her boss, so she was just going to get something down the street from her work. As much as she didn't want to get something.


She had her noon break time and walked down to Pizza Lima, or Lima Pizza..whatever the name was she couldn't remember! She usually just got a salad and water whenever she went (which was never), but now she wanted a large pizza. She instead ordered a medium pizza with bacon, ham, pepperoni and garlic on as toppings.

"Interesting combo, is that you or your baby taste buds?" The man up front joked.

"I hate ham and garlic on my pizza. So I guess they're being nice to their Mommy and adding more to it." Marley laughed. "Do you have barbecue chips?"

"Big or small bag?"

"...Big." Marley's voice shook. She wasn't even sure if she'd eat all that but wanted them so badly. "That's all."

Ten minutes later her order came up. She managed to eat six of her eight slices and half her bag of chips before she started to think about how much she ate. Marley got up from her spot and walked over to the bathroom where she got onto the floor. One hand held her hair back as her other hand held up her index and middle finger. She was just about to place them in her mouth when her phone rang and Ryder's name came up. She sighed.

"Hi Ryder," Marley greeted on the phone sweetly. "How's work?"

"Boring as hell. I'm on break." He laughed. "Thought I'd call my favorite girl."

"It could be a boy though." Marley giggled.

"What?" Ryder asked not getting the joke.

"Never mind. I'm on break too, I'm at the pizza place..baby sure was hungry."

"It's a Lynn baby." Ryder laughed. "I have a question."

"Shoot."

"When's the next doctors appointment? I want to go to that one."

"Uh...um...uh... I don't remember..." She told him. She skipped her last one, lying to Ryder saying it was cancelled. When she called in and said she was couldn't make it she lied and said she was feeling sick to her stomach. "I think next week?"

"Okay. Well I'll call them during my next break and text you what they said. Or I'll call tonight...how come your voice is echoing?"

"Oh in the bathroom. I had to pee like there was no tomorrow." She said. "Like...hate to give you the image, but I'm on the toilet right now."

"Uhh...alright then!" Ryder laughed. "Sorry for bad timing. Guess I'll just let you get back to that then. See you tonight babe. Love you."

"I love you too." Marley said.

After they hung up Marley sighed. She couldn't puke right now, not after that phone call at least. She got up from the floor and washed her hands.


That night Ryder and Marley were making out on the couch; Ryder on the bottom and Marley on the top. Ryder sat them up so she was sitting on his lap. The couch creaked a little. It was an old couch that usually creaked, but Marley stopped kissing Ryder as soon as the creaking ended. Ryder automatically knew what was on her mind.

"It's an old couch Marley. A very old couch." He spoke softly and soothing to her, his hand rubbing up and down her side. "It's not just you. It happens to me all the time."

"I know... it's just—"

Ryder pressed his lips onto hers, calming her down. He pulled out. "I know...but I promise it's not you. You know what I want you to do for me, Marley?"

"Anything."

"Do whatever needs to be done so that you can have this healthy little baby." He grinned. "Okay?"

"Okay." Marley smiled. "Can we go back to making-out now?"

"Hell yeah!" Ryder shouted and pulled her back on top of him.

Marley kept all her food inside of her that day, but she felt everything inside of her growing. She knew it was normal for her to grow during time amazing time in her life, but she hated all the fat clinging onto her.
