A/N#1: Okay. I've had some comments on the gender and the name, Kai. F.Y.I Kai is a unisex name. It has many meanings in several different languages, such as keeper of the keys, safe harbor, strong and/or unbreakable. Now if you want to determine the sex, go vote. There is a poll up.
Chapter TWENTY FIVE -Oblivious Confusion -
"Love until it hurts and when it hurts, love some more. Love until you don't care about the pain, until you stop expecting anything in return, until all that matters is loving that person the best way you can."
(21 weeks 5 days)
Going to work was beginning to become troublesome. It wasn't that Renesmee's seat belt in her car felt awkward across the top of her belly or that getting out of the car was pain in the ass. It was that her body was beginning to ache everywhere and in places she did not know existed. Nearly falling asleep in the middle of a shift wasn't exactly helpful, either. At the deli counter in Forks Outfitter's she stood a lot helping customers, slicing cold cuts, weighing their orders and sanitizing the blades then moping and sweeping. All resulting in shooting pains traveling from the heels of her feet, up the back of her calves and radiating in her lower back. By one o'clock she was off to Peter Bankwell's physical therapy office, to handle three or four more hours of administrative work.
In the office, she sat at the desk, lightly pressing the tips of her fingers to different areas of her abdomen. Nessie still waited for the little one to kick. The doctor advised her not to worry until the twenty second week, which was in a few days. The doctor also informed her that, the baby's sleep is opposite to her own, so Kai was more than likely kicking in the middle of the night when Ness is fast asleep.
Since her pregnancy, she had become a heavy sleeper. Although, she was bound to be tired, since her body was after all producing another life. Tonight she was determined to stay awake and witness this phenomenon.
Driving home, Ness questioned as to when Jacob was going to be back Forks. The anticipation of his return was eating away at her. After their argument about his emotions, she wasn't sure if she wanted to see him. Actually, she did want to see him but the awkwardness would be unbarring. She did not want that.
The second Ness got home, she started on some school work. Though, she found it difficult to concentrate with all her thoughts wrapped up in Jacob. Closing her books, Ness placed her hand under her chin propping her head up and fiddled with the necklace around her neck. The necklace Jacob gave her. Lost in thought, she searched for every possible reason for them not to be together. Nothing was supposed to change. As she admired the piece of jewelry, she thought, He's making everything change. How could she make him see that these alleged feelings he carried for her, were false? It wasn't until after she got pregnant that he claimed he saw her as more than a friend. For Jacob being such a forward person, it didn't make sense that it took him so long to confess he's been in love with her all along. Nothing he did made sense anymore.
The ringing doorbell pulled her away from her thoughts. Peeking out the curtains, she saw her aunt Rosalie impatiently waiting with a gift bag in her hand. Ness groaned not in the mood for her aunts unexpected visit. But of course, she welcomed her in. Of course, Rosalie came in giving her the bag full of necessities for the baby then began to give commands. She urged Ness to either leave Jacob alone or start a relationship. Sitting, Ness was being intimidated by her aunt Rose, again. She didn't like it when she was in her moods, because she was a completely different person from the second mother she knew. The teen listened to her aunt, dazed. The girl did not get it. Why did Rosalie care what happened between her and Jacob? Why was it any of her business?
"You have some serious decisions to make," Rosalie ordered.
She did not make herself comfortable. She stood then entire time, glaring down at her niece. On the couch, Ness cowered.
Peeking at the blonde headed beauty through eyelashes, she felt like a child again being scolded for her bad choices.
With a lowered head, Renesmee pleaded with her aunt, "I cannot just banish him from my life. I need him, and I won't start a relationship with him based on some, delusional feelings he has for me."
"He said he loves you, didn't he?" her aunt examined, quite bitterly, " Why would he lie?"
"He doesn't really love me," she implored, wanting Rosalie's approval, " It's me Rosalie. He thinks he does, because I'm pregnant with his kid. He feels he has to love me."
"Ness-" Rose was interrupted by the doorbell. "I'll get it."
Ness sank further into the red couch. She's being like daddy, she thought. And in truth Rosalie and Edward, were similar in many ways; intimidating, threatening, callous and bitter, but only when they had reason. The teen contemplated the reasons as to why her aunt and father were being aloof. What did I do wrong? She asked herself palming at her bulging belly. She rolled her eyes. Oh yeah. This kid has caused so many problems with her relationships. Her and her father were not on speaking terms, Rosalie has been more hostile than ever and Jacob thinks he's in love with her. So far the only good thing to come from this pregnancy was the bond between her and her mother was stronger.
Ness's head snapped to the front door when she heard the hard voice of Jacob Black. "What the hell are you doing here?"
Standing at the doorway, Rosalie blocked him from entering the home. She spat, "I'm visiting with my niece, what are you doing here?"
"I came to see my," Jacob paused searching for the proper title. At school he was telling everyone she was his girlfriend, but that wasn't the case. "My best friend," he finished.
Rosalie responded in the most patronizing way. "You should probably just leave, she doesn't mean that much to you. So, go back to Oregon State, where you belong and stay away from my niece."
"Rosalie!" Ness shouted, struggling to lift herself from the couch.
"Look here, you b-" Jacob stopped with his finger pointed at the unhappy women. He didn't want to reduce himself to her level. Calmer, he stated, " I'm only out there for Ness. I need an education if I'm gonna support our child."
Bitterly, she laughed, "Oh right. I didn't know you could get a scholarship for sitting on a bench."
With his quick wit, Jacob responded, "Look, do you mind leaving or did you sell your car for gas money?"
"Whoa, whoa, Stop!" Ness called, now at her aunt's side. She looked to Jacob, who was still standing outside."I don't get this? You've never acted like this before." Then she scowled at Rose. " And I don't get how you cannot like him?"
Rosalie looked to her niece in shock. "Excuse me for not liking the guy that planted his seed in you and took away your teen years."
Jacob found his way inside the house. Then replied speaking to Ness but staring at Rosalie, "And I don't like your irresponsible aunt who got her seventeen year old niece a hotel room, on prom night, so she could fuck some ass hole and drink from the mini bar."
"Do you hear how he speaks?" the blonde said disgusted, "He's inconsiderate. He should stay away from you."
"You know what," Renesmee said throwing her hands up in defeat, " you guys can go outside and argue all you want but don't do it here." She shuffled over to the hallway, with a hand pressed to her back as if it ached, "I need to get some sleep. I only got three hours last night and I have shit to do tomorrow."
"I'll see you soon okay?" Rose asked, grabbing the strap of the purse that hadn't left he shoulder since she walked in the home.
Ness nodded.
"Are you sure you don't need anything?"
Shaking her head, Ness muttered tiredly, "I get my paycheck tomorrow."
"You can leave now," Jake said bluntly. The cocky grin on his face, irritated Rosalie.
"Remember what I said," she warned, "Bye Renesmee."
"Bye Aunt Rose."
Once the door slammed shut, Jacob pulled the back pack from his shoulder s and tossed it to the floor. He asked, "Remember what?"
Ness stood still, staring icily at the father of her child. "Did you have to act like that?"
Jacob sighed, he didn't want to argue. He didn't even get a hello. "She started the whole thing."
"I know but, she has a reason to be upset," Ness retorted walking down the hallway to her room.
"No she doesn't," he replied trailing behind her, noticing that her hand bore heavily on her back.
Nessie's voice echoed through the hallways from her room, "She can't have children Jacob, and me being pregnant has only reminded her that. She's already a short fuse and for weeks that fuse has been cut even shorter."
"I don't care," he said as Ness rummaged through her dresser drawers for comfortable clothes, "there's no excuse to be a bitch."
Slamming the drawer shut, Ness rotated and threw her pajamas on the bed. Halting, she sighed throwing her head back. Now both hands compressed to her lower back, her arms folded back like a birds wings.
Worriedly, Jacob stepped deeper into the room. "Are you okay?"
Their eyes connected and Jacob could see she was in pain. She declared,"My back's been hurting really bad lately."
Oddly, enough Jacob had been having similar symptoms. "That's weird, me too."
Ness gave him the fainted smirk. "Have you been having contractions too?"
"What?" he questioned jumping over the bed to be at her side. Concerned, Jacob pressed his hand to the small of her back and grabbed a hold of an arm, urging her to sit on the bed.
She swatted him away then briefed him, "Calm down. Not actual contractions just uhm, mild uterine contractions. I guess my bodies preparing me for real contractions."
"Oh."
"I'm gonna take a nap," she notified.
"Are you hungry?" he asked as she lied on the bed.
"No," she replied peeling the socks from her feet.
"Why don't you try to get some rest and I'll go get us some dinner."
"No. I just need some sleep," she said as she searched for a comfortable position, " I'm exhausted."
After giving her a tap on the belly, and a kiss to her forehead, Jake left her to catch up on sleep. Patiently, he waited until she fell asleep, then decided to pry through her bill drawer and the refrigerator. She already needed food and her rent still needed to be paid.
+Later On+
When he came home from her errands, he found Ness sprawled out on the couch, sleeping. The television's sound muffled. On the coffee table were a wrappers from packaged string cheese. Part of him wanted to be angry at her for lying about being hungry, but he knew why she was being so prideful. She wanted to prove herself to her father. However, he knew he had to have a chat with her about her dignity. She shouldn't be risking her health to prove a point.
"Stubborn girl," he mumbled, shaking his head.
Quietly, he ran the groceries inside the house and put them away. While doing so Jake noticed Ness had finished off a box of cereal. He was glad he picked up some subs from the grocery store.
Finding space on the love seat, Jake sat. Delicately, he shook Ness's shoulder. "Renesmee, wake up."
Leaning down he kissed her forehead. "Come on baby, I got sandwiches from Forks Outfitters."
Slowly, she awoken. "Italian?" she muttered as she sat up.
"Just like you like," he informed handing her a sandwich wrapped in wax paper.
Taking the sub from him, she asked, "What time is it?"
"About eight thirty," he said unwrapping a sandwich of his own.
The ate in silence, the way strangers would. Thankfully, the television was on to keep their mind of the lack of conversation. Although, it was not awkward, each was uncomfortable. They were used to being completely distant with one another. Yes, Ness had pulled away dramatically but she allowed him to kiss her and rub her belly now. What she tolerated confused Jake, he wasn't sure where he stood with her and Reneseme's thought's matched his. Both felt as if they didn't know one another. Things were changing and it left each teen lost.
Once Ness finished, she collected their trash and got up leaving Jacob alone in the living room. She tossed the garbage out and went to retrieve a water bottle from the fridge. The sight caused Ness to cock her head, baffled.
" Jacob!" she hollered, " Where'd these groceries come from!" It was a stupid question, she knew he bought them but she still felt the need to ask.
Stalking in the tiny kitchen, Jacob noticed her glaring at the food inside the fridge. "I went to the outfitters got you dinner and picked up some more food for you."
Forcefully, Ness shut the fridge door. She vilified, "Why, would you do that? I already told you once before, don't do that."
"I know, but I only got you stuff for sandwiches, some chicken and cereal. There's a bunch of fruit and those baby carrots you like in the fridge. Also some yogurt and granola. It's enough to hold you over for a few weeks."
Ness inhaled, deeply. She felt the air built up in her lungs, the pressure on her collarbone. Then she released a sigh through her nose. Calm, keep calm. Fighting was so useless, so Ness just said, "I'm going to bed."
Ness marched herself into the bedroom, angry. She thought he understood she did not want to be taken care of in any form. With the exception of the baby.
Jacob made his way to her room and his eyes widened. He hadn't seen her bare skin she hid beneath her shirts since, well, that night.
As she pulled her scrubs over her head, she saw Jacob standing at the doorway of her room.
"Oh sorry," he stuttered wanting to retreat but his feet wouldn't take him away from this beautiful sight.
"It's fine."
God, she's beautiful, he thought. Jacob wondered if he'd always feel his pride and hormones swell each time he saw her while pregnant. Her ribcage was still thin at its width and her baby bump settled low. He wanted to reach out and touch her, so he did. Strangely, she allowed him to do so. He looked to her and they exchanged smiles. He was awestruck by the glow of her skin and basking in her light. There's no going back now, he pondered with both hands still on her stomach. He and Ness were in it for the long haul, a very long but worth it, journey. They were a team now, no matter if she fought it. And by the looks of his pregnant best friend, she's taking one for the team.
"Can I get dressed now?" she asked, not annoyed but expressionless.
He nodded and removed his hands from her abdomen then sat on the bed.
He watched as she pull a t-shirt over her head and her bra covered breasts. She was so tired and achy that the fact that she started undressing in front of Jacob didn't click in her mind, she just continued to undress. Her scrub pants, pooled at her feet and she took the tight fitting leggings and put them on.
"You should take off work tomorrow. Call in sick."
Tying her hair up she replied, "I can't afford to miss work Jake. I have to pay you back for the groceries and I owe my landlord half of this month's rent."
"There's no need to worry."
Making the bed ready for sleep, Ness said, "Uh, sure I shouldn't worry if I want to be homeless."
"Really Ness don't worry I paid the rent."
"You paid my rent!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah."
"Why, why the hell would you pay my rent?"
"Because I had some extra cash and I knew you were behind, so I paid what you owed for this months and half of next month's rent."
"Damn it Jacob!" she shouted throwing the pillow in her hand to the bed, " How the hell am I supposed to learn to depend on myself if you're always here to help?"
Coming to his feet, Jacob walked around the bed. Holding on to the wrought iron of her foot board he eplied, "Even if you say you don't need help, I thought you would like my help."
"Only with the baby. Not with food, not with rent, not with anything besides the baby. We're not a couple Jacob, and you're not my brother! You don't have to take care of me."
He gripped the metal bar firmer, his knuckles turning white. He roared through his teeth, "I'll pay your rent, and I'll pay for food. Cuz as long as you're the mother of my child, I'll take care of you."
"No! I'm not your obligation! "
Coming closer to her, he grabbed the sides of her arms."Why are you being so stubborn? I thought it was a way to say I love you, to help you out and guess what? That kid, growing inside you is my obligation! Renesmee, I don't like to see you stressed out, you shouldn't be stressing."
"I don't stress!" she shrieked defensively.
Jacob threw his hands up and stepped back from her. Collectedly he spoke. "If you would have just let me stay here and work you'd have nothing to worry about."
"Maybe I should have had the abortion." Just as those words left her mouth, she regretted them.
"Nessie, don't ever say that."
With great shame, she covered her burning eyes with a hand and she retorted, "It's true. Ever since I got pregnant it's been one thing after the other and we fight, all we do is fight anymore. I don't like fighting with you."
On the verge of tears, Ness plopped herself on the bed. Jacob found a spot next to her and rested his hand on her knee and pacified her."People argue, they disagree and sometimes they never see eye to eye, that's normal."
A tear fell down her cheek as she said her next statement. "Not for us."
Wiping the tear away from her with his thumb, he smiled. "We have always argued since the day I met you."
"No, we had little quips," she argued, " just stupid playful bickering. We always thought the same, we almost always had the same opinions, but now we're on two totally different wavelengths and…"she paused releasing a quivering sigh. She was giving it her all not to fall apart and cry. However, she thought of how they ate dinner together half an hour ago. While it was the furthest thing from awkward, it wasn't how it used to be. Once together Ness would forget her table manners and speak to him with food rolling around in her mouth and they'd laugh and enjoy one another's company but as of now, Ness felt the difference.
She continued, with calm tears rolling down her face."I-I don't know, things aren't the same between us."
Jacob stood up and took the hem of his shirt to clean her tears. Ness couldn't help but notice how tight and toned his stomach was. The way his hips helped form the v shape was drawing her line of vision downwards, towards his crotch.
As she stared he was speaking. "No they're not and they never will be. We already know this, but what hasn't changed is that I'm always here for you."
She took in what he said, then looked away from his body completely. "I can't even trust you anymore," she clarified this though as she thought over the happenings as the last few months, " You do these little things that irritate me."
"Like what?" he questioned noticing the medalion necklace he bought her hanging around her neck. it caused him to smile.
"Like talk to my dad, fucking Charlene and not telling me about it, then going behind my back to pay rent and buy me groceries."
"I've apologized for screwing around with Charlene and I've apologized for going behind you back and speaking with you father but one thing I won't and will never apologize for is taking care of you. I do those things because I care about you, I care about the baby. I love you Ness."
Ness looked up at him, and felt her heart wither in guilt. She didn't want to say these words, but she had to. "I love you too but don't waste your time waiting for me. We both know it's not going to happen."
Sadly, he sat at her side, wondering, "Why not?"
"It just can't happen... It won't."
Jacob observed his hands as he fidgeted with his fingers. First she asked him not to date, then she tells him not to wait for her. She was still so confused but he knew they'd spend their forever together. "It will Ness, once you grow up and get your head straight, things will be great between us."
She stated, "I am grown up."
"Adults don't say things like, 'I am grown up.'" He mocked, " They just are. One day you'll wake up and see. You'll see how much you're in love with me, and I'll always be here. Waiting."
Fiercely, her head whipped back and forth."No. We have to be just friends again."
"Who ever said we weren't?"
They sat quietly for a short while, until Ness asked, "Is this what you wanted? I mean if not, what would you have wanted me to do?"
"You're doing it now. Staying healthy," he stopped for second knowing that wasn't true, "making your doctor's appointments, keeping Our baby is what I would have wanted. It's what I want. You're doing everything right, finishing school and ya got a job. You're growing up and becoming independent, and truth be told, that's all I ever wanted for you."
"You really wanted me to keep it?"
"Undoubtedly," he affirmed throwing his arm around her shoulder, "I told you I wouldn't let you get rid of it. I couldn't ask God for anyone greater to be the mother of my children."
"Child," she corrected.
"Right," he said. Internally he died as she said that. She didn't want any more children with him.
For now, he knew he had to take what she gave him, so he nodded. Then when she released a loud yawn and stretched tiredly, Jake decided to bring up her unhealthy sense of honor. "I know what you're doing Ness and you have to stop."
She frowned. "What?"
"You're resisting help from anyone and it's making you tired, and sick." He looked at her disapprovingly. "This whole, pride thing is getting really old pretty fucking fast."
He got up and walked out of the room continuing speaking loudly, " You have to stop!"
Nessie didn't lift herself from the bed, she only listened to him criticize her.
" The two times I've come home you haven't had food and Ness, that's unacceptable," he said reentering her room with the bottle of her prenatal vitamins. " It makes me wonder how you've been getting by since you move out of my dad's," he finished settling the vitamins on her nightstand, " You forget to take these and you can't do that."
Jacob sank to one knee in front of her and grabbed her hands and gave her a serious stare. She held her breath, praying he wasn't doing what it appeared to be.
" Promise me you'll let me take care of you?" he begged, unaware that it appeared as if he was about to propose.
She didn't answer, only released a sigh of relief and shuffled uncomfortably on her bed.
"Promise?" he pleaded, "If you ever need anything, you'll tell me. Swear on it."
Even though her pride knocked on her head, telling her to not do so, she couldn't deny him this. Thankful he was proposing she nodded and swore, "I promise."
"Now I have a confession," he said standing upright, pulling his hands from hers and again, sitting on the bed at her side, "I went through your drawers and looked at your bills. I saw you were behind in rent. I called and told your mom-"
She sniffled. "Jacob-"
He cut her off. "I'm sorry. I really I am, I violated your trust again and I'm sorry, but I told you I won't apologize for trying to take care of you. I just want you to be okay, so I called your mom and asked about the credit card they got you."
Looking down at her feet, she turned her feet inwards. Ness didn't feel angry, only a bit irritated yet relieved. He was honest with her and that counted for something. "You could have asked me."
"I could have, but you wouldn't have answered my questions."
"You're right," she admitted.
"I also told her you weren't eating well, and you were forgetting your vitamins."
Rolling her eyes, things suddenly made sense. "Which is why everyone else is calling asking to take to me to eat or if I'm taking vitamins. My Uncle Jasper called me earlier asking if I was taking them regularly. Everyone called but my dad."
Jacob slung his arm around her shoulder and slid his hand up her smooth neck and jawbone. When his palm found her cheek he lightly forced her to look at him. "I don't understand what's wrong with him, but give it time. He'll come around. I'm sure he misses you."
The warmth of his palm stayed at her cheek as her eyes scanned his face. And for the first time ever, she truly observed his face. She noticed his eye's weren't just brown, and not just caramel, the colors blended in like flakes of compressed wood. His eyebrows dark but straight sat on his prominent brow. Her vision trailed down his nose eventually settling on his pink lips. They were a contrast against his tan skin. The top lips was almost as thin as his bottom but still they were luscious. Ness wondered how they tasted? Then cursed herself for having such a thought. She continued to stare at his face like a new discovery. She never noticed each tiny light colored mole, how much stubble he had above his lip or the light bags under his eyes. Just as she had the thought, He's very handsome, she jerked her head away, a million things running through her head. He pulled his hand back but kept his muscular arm across her shoulders.
After a quick glance to Jacob, she needed to think of anything besides giving him a reason to believe there's more between them, than just friendship.
Jake could feel her,oblivious confusion as she stared at him. In her eyes he saw love, but she swore there was nothing. He felt that there were things in her mind that she didn't understand, that were hidden still waiting to be found. But since they promised to be honest with one another, he believed she had no feelings for him. That made his chest hurt. Love was physically was making him fatigued.
"Jacob?" she muttered , picking one topic that was in her mind and pulling Jacob from his brokeness, " I'm sorry for always threatening to take the baby from you. I did that twice. When I suggested abortion the very first time at that restaurant, it was a lie. I could never have an abortion. I don't even know why I brought it up a few minutes ago. And I lied about getting one, so you'd go to school and I-I won't ever take the baby from you Jake. I swear it."
"Thank you," he said bringing his other arm around, and wrapping her in a firm hug and she did not hesitate to return the embrace.
She decided to bring something else up that was on her mind. "I miss this and I miss you. Not I miss you as in I'm in love with you but I miss, talking to you every day, in person, spilling out our emotions and our problems."
Even though that comment, slightly stung he smiled and rubbed her belly. "We have the same problems now."
Instantly, she nodded with a giggled. She really did agree.
Ness found her way completely on the bed. Pressing her head to a pillow while Jacob still sat at the side of the bed.
As Ness was getting comfortable, Jacob looked to his side and asked her, "Do you feel like we don't know one another anymore?"
Her head dipped up and down. It was so strange that he thought that, when she had the exact thought while they were eating. "And it hurts to know that's true. I used to know what was going on in your head, or at least I thought I knew. Now a days I have no clue what you're thinking."
Standing, he towered over her and ruffled her hair. "I don't think you've been thinking much these days at all."
"Shut up," she chuckled lifting a leg and pushing at his thigh, with her weak pregnant strength. His balance wobbled a bit then he grabbed her foot and tickled the bottom of her foot.
After pleading with him to stop he did and found his way to the opposite side of the bed. He rested there as they continued to talk like it was old times. It was effortless like once before. They spoke of everything except the baby and his feelings for her.
Even if they did not speak of these things, they both fell asleep with Kai on their minds.
In the middle of the night, Renesmee woke up with the strangest sensation in her stomach. She thought it was a sever muscle spasm or twitch inside her belly, yet it was completely abnormal. She rubbed her belly confused, then the odd twitching made sense.
While she kept a hand on the kicking inside her uterus, she smacked his arm. "Jacob? Jacob?"
"Hmm?" he groaned half asleep.
"Jake wake up!" she said excitedly, smacking his shoulder again.
He shot up and looked to her lying body. "What what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Almost crying she informed, "The baby's kicking."
"Really?" he asked his hand flying to her stomach.
They both stared into the other's eyes and couldn't control their smiles as they felt the baby continuously kick.
"Oh Ness, this is the first time I've felt Kai kick."
"Me too," she replied.
For the next half hour, they sat on her bed their hands rubbing and staring at her swollen abdomen, as if it were a crystal ball. Jacob gradually settled on his side, using his elbow to prop his head up the other arm never left her stomach. When the kicking ceased, Jacob lifted her shirt and tenderly kissed her belly. It shocked Ness and took her breath away but she didn't have time to think about it. Jacob stood up and began putting his boots on.
"Where are you going?" she asked leaning up, he elbows sustaining the angle.
"Home," he said standing up smoothing out his black tee and readjusting his jeans.
"You can stay here."
"I don't think that'd be a good idea."
"'Kay," she said, her voice cracking. She wanted him to stay over but, she wouldn't force him. Once upon a time, she would had repeatedly begged him until she got her way but she couldn't force him into things like she used to. She wanted him to want to stay.
On the other hand he truly wanted to stay, but he wasn't going to get himself excited because it lying at her side felt like they were more, like they were together. He didn't like his mind to stray and imagine her as her wife, then be smacked in the face with reality. The reality being, she didn't want him, but he'd take what she gave her. He debated as to whether or not to stay but he had a problem that needed some relief. And he sure as hell wasn't going to masturbate in her bathroom.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow before the appointment," he notified then placed a quick kiss to her cheek. Pointing at the bottle of prenatals, he said, " Make sure you eat and take those vitamins. Night."
"Night," she muttered, disappointed that he actually left.
