Em and I both got better and were released in a time span of about 4 days and luckily there were no more scares with the baby and it's heart rate returned to it's original rate. Over the next months, Emily lived with me and we worked on things slowly, but never really got back together, unfortunately. I worked a lot, getting money together for hopefully an apartment and all the rest for our baby. Emily is now 6 months pregnant and we just moved into our little apartment and at least unpacked our necessities.
"I'm getting so big." she whines as I lay next to her on our bed.
"Yer a cute pregnant lady, Em." I say as I lay my hand on her bump and feel our baby kick and it's so magical feeling it kick. It scared the crap out of Emily the first time it really kicked and it was simply amazing when I first felt it. She glares at me, being incredibly moody today and I have gotten used to her massive mood swings and controlling what I say.
"Yer a feisty one too." I say and get up off the bed and go to unpack some of our clothes and put them away in our dressers.
"Do you want to look at the baby names book again tonight? We had terrible luck with girl names last night." I ask her since we have been talking about baby names the past week and we read a book together last night. It was a lot of fun, but frustrating when she didn't like a name I liked or vice versa.
"Yeah and I dunno about a girl name, I know that I want to name him after you somehow if it's a boy." she says and I turn around to see her with a smile on her face as her hands on her round belly. I feel proud and happy that she'd want to name the baby after me if it's a boy, I might have a son. I walk over to the bed and lay back down, being tired from moving today.
"Have you erm thought any more about what I brought up the other night?" I ask Emily hesitantly as she rests her hands on her round belly and turns to look at me. The other night I asked her if there was a chance of us getting back together and she said she didn't know and would think about it. It's honestly been so hard not kissing her or making love to her for the past 5 months.
"Uh yeah I have." she says.
"And?" I ask.
"I don't know Paul, I don't think so." she says killing my hopes like she has whenever I've brought it up. I sigh and walk over to the door and rub my eyes, very frustrated and fed up with her not even giving me another chance.
"Can't you just give me another chance, Em? I haven't been with any other girls these past 5 months since we broke up, let alone sleep with any birds. Haven't I proven it to you that I deserve another chance by working my arse off to support us? I'm paying for the rent for this apartment, and so we can buy all these things for the baby that are bloody expensive!" I say getting mad as I turn to here and she looks ticked off, looks like I'm about to get one of her outbursts.
"If you don't want to live with me so badly, why didn't you tell me before we moved in together?" she says not really angrily.
"Do you know how sick I get of answering people's questions about us and our relationship?! You have no idea how often I get asked if we have gotten back together now that we're getting a place together and most of all when we're getting married! I get so sick of telling people that no, we're not back together or engaged, we just live together because yer having my baby!" I say and end it with a sigh.
"Do you even want to live with me or what is all this bullshit?" she asks me somewhat calmly.
"Of course I do, Emily. You know I love you with all of my heart but I, I want to be with you. I'm so afraid you'll forget about me and date some other guy." I confess and I sit next to her on the bed.
"Like any guy would date me with me looking like I swallowed a watermelon." she says sadly as she looks down at her belly that has inside of it our unborn child.
"Those guys don't know what they're missing out on. A funny girl whose absolutely beautiful and whose going to make an extraordinary mother and I bet wife someday." I say and she nods with a thankful smile and I smile back. I look to her full lips that I've missed having against mine badly and I see her look to my lips and I lean forward slowly and she leans in too, surprisingly. Having not kissed her or any other birds for 5 months or had sex has been indescribably hard. I touch my lips to hers and she immediately kisses me back and I move my hand to her cheek as our lips move against each others slowly, as we're just enjoying the sensation of the others lips against ours.
