"Looking Back" Part 9
We spent the whole day looking for apartments and finally found one. It was 20 minutes from his campus. It was a two bedroom apartment and it was really nice. We talked to the manager of the building and gave him our number and set a meeting for Monday afterschool. We walked out hand in hand and I laid my head on his shoulder.
"Lunch Bobby." He laughed at me. "What, we've been searching for hours, it's 3 pm and you still haven't fed me."
"Yes sweetie. Let's get you some lunch."
"Thank you." We drove to Subway. We were waiting in line and it was taking forever. "Bobby, I'm going to Blockbuster next door and getting us a movie."
"Okay, you want your rabbit food?" He teased me and I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Yes I want my lettuce and pickle grinder."
"Okay." I walked to the door.
"What movie do you want?"
"I don't know, get a good one. Oh and Linds, here's my keys, you need my card." He threw his keys to me and I caught them walking out the door. I walked to Blockbuster and was walking through the rows. I picked 'Sweet Home Alabama' even though I knew Bobby wouldn't like it. I kept looking for a movie for us when I heard my name, I turned around and saw Helen and Lucy.
"Hey guys!" I gave them both a hug. "Hey. How are you?" "I'm good, what are you two up to?" "Getting some movies for tonight." "Girls night?" "Hell yeah, why don't you come over?" "No, I can't but Stephen wouldn't care if you came over." "Really?"
"Yeah. It'll be fun."
"Cool. Let's get more movies now." "Okay, you guys pick some out, I need to get Bobby and I a movie." I heard them snickering about me and Bobby behind my back and I just laughed. I settled on the movies American Pie 1 & 2 for us, I figured it was something we all would enjoy, I checked my 3 movies out and we walked to Bobby's car together. He was waiting for me inside the car. "Okay come over at like 7:00, after dinner is that good?" "Yeah perfect." "I have to tell you guys something too." "Okay we'll see you later than." "Okay bye." "Bye Linds." I got into the car and kissed him. "Took you long enough." "Haha. I saw Helen & Lucy, they're coming over tonight." "Cool. Does that mean I need to find my own entertainment?" "No, you'll be one of the girls with us." I laughed knowing he'd object. "Okay." He kissed me and we were off. "I was kidding."
"I want to spend time with you." He put his hand on my knee. "Awe. You sweetheart." "I try. But when it gets too girly I'm leaving." I laughed. "Okay." We drove the rest of the way home listening to his CD. We pulled into the driveway and walked in the front door. "Dad, we're back." "In the living room guys." We walked in and Stephen was watching the news brief. "Mrs. Dole, who is accused of trying to murder her daughter is set for trial soon, but rumors have been heard the state is offering to plea. I'm Logan Byrnes for NBC 30 reporting live from Cambridge Superior Courthouse. Janet and Jerry back to you." I froze and Bobby put a hand on my shoulder. Stephen turned the TV off. "You okay honey?" "Fine, let's not worry about it." "Okay. Let's sit down." We went over to the couch across from Stephen. "Stephen, my friends Helen and Lucy are coming over tonight if it's okay." "Sure, sure, that's fine." "Thanks." The three sat there with nothing to say until Stephen spoke up.
"So how far are you?"
"A couple of months, we just had a doctor's appointment."
"What are you going to do about school?"
"Well, I'm finishing this year, I'll be almost 6 months by the end of the school year, we have a 2 month break for summer so I'll just start late next year."
"And Bobby? You still going to college?"
"Yeah, I'm going to get an apartment closer to campus once I get organized and all, and I'm going to come and see my girl and my baby every weekend."
"I see, well looks like our spare computer room is going to be a nursery." Stephen stood and walked to the door. "You know if it's a boy or a girl?"
"No, Lindsay wanted to be surprised but then she gave into me and we're going to find out next time we go."
"Okay, cause I have to know what colour paint I'm going to be picking up."
"Dad you don't have to do it."
"Nonsense, this is my grandchild."
"Yeah, but Stephen you don't have too."
"Well I want to, we'll have to go baby shopping too. You pick a day, whenever you want and I'll take you out."
"No Stephen, it's okay, you don't have to."
"Well I want to buy things for the baby. I know I don't have to but I want to."
"Well thanks dad we appreciate ot, but we'll worry about it then."
"Okay, I'm going to finish up with making dinner."
"Okay, we'll be down soon."
"Alright." He stepped out the door and came back in. "Kids?"
"Yeah." We both responded together.
"Congratulations." We smiled.
"Thanks dad."
"Thanks Stephen." After Stephen left Bobby and I sat there eating our grinders, when I finished I looked at his watch. It was only 4:15. I looked at Bobby. "Are you going upstairs?" "I wasn't going to why?" "Can I play video games in your room?" "Of course you can." "Okay, I have to change first." I went upstairs and he followed me, I picked out a pair of Bobby's red sox sweats that were on my floor. "Oh no."
"What?" He sounded really concerned, I laughed. "Nothing, I just thought, I'm going to have to buy maternity clothes soon." "Oh." He laughed too. "Well, we'll go shopping sometime soon, I promise." "Okay. Let's go, I want to play video games." I grabbed his hand and went into his room. "Alright, you play video games and I'm going back downstairs." He gave me a kiss and I laid on his bed to play. "Hey dad." Stephen was in the kitchen at the stove making dinner.
"Hey son, where's Lindsay?"
"She's upstairs playing video games." "She excited?"
"Yeah she is. I mean I know we're young but she's really excited."
"And you?"
"I'm thrilled."
"Good." Bobby sat at the table just talking to Stephen. "I was thinking about asking Joe about a position at the bar." "Oh yeah? You know he'll find something for you." "That's what I figured, I'm going to need a job between college and the baby." "Yeah. Although Bobby I was serious about the baby stuff, I want to buy it." "Dad--" "I'm doing it son." Defeated, Bobby nodded his head. "Okay." "Dinner is about done, why don't you go get Linds." "Okay." Bobby walked upstairs and into his bedroom only to find a sound asleep Lindsay with a remote control in her hand. She was all curled into his blankets. Bobby walked back down, Stephen had finished setting the table. "She coming?" "She's sleepingso I figured I'd make a plate for her so she can eat it tonight." "Okay, well it's done. They sat down and ate in silence. When they were done Bobby took the plates. "Don't worry dad, I'll take care of it. I'm gonna make a plate for Linds so I'll take care of it." "Alright, I'm going to go in the living room."
"Okay." Bobby made a plate for Lindsay and put it in the fridge. He turned around when he heard somebody enter the room only to see it was Lindsay. "Hey honey." He walked over and kissed me. "Hi." I gave him a hug and sat on the chair. "How was your nap?" "It was nice, I needed it." "Well, I'm glad you got some rest. How about some food?" "I'm not really hungry yet. What time is it?" "It's 5:30." "Oh, I've got some algebra homework I should do. Will you help me? You know how great I am at math." I said very sarcastically. "Just put it on my bed and I'll do it tonight and give it to you tomorrow." "You know one of these days you're not going to be here to help me and I'm going to be screwed." I laughed. "Just call me, or e-mail me." He finished up the dishes. "I'm bored." He came over and sat on the table playing with my hands. "Well what does Miss Bored want to do?" I smiled, I loved it when he would tease me. "Let's go play basketball for a while." "Can you, I mean wouldn't, are you sure you can?" "Yes Bobby, I can as long as I'm careful I'm okay."
"Okay but if you start to hurt then--" "I'll say something." I stood up and kissed him. "C'mon." We played basketball for an hour and a half and I beat him by 2 points. "I'm going to shower."
"Alright let me jump in after you." I took a quick shower. "Linds, I'm coming in for a second."
"Okay." I turned the water off. "Get me a towel Bobby." "Here." I opened the shower door and he helped me out. "You should hurry and get dressed, it's quarter to six. I'll be out in a few minutes." "Okay." I gave him a kiss and went about changing into my duck pajamas. I brushed my teeth and hair. "Bobby can we go shopping for maternity clothes?" I screamed over the sound of the water. "Sure, tomorrow after they leave we can." "Okay." "Linds, why don't you go eat the plate I made for you because they'll be here soon and you and our baby need food."
"Okay, come down when you're done." "I will." I walked downstairs, Stephen came out from the living room. "Hey, I'm going to go ro my room for the night, you have fun tonight." I smiled and gave him a hug just as Bobby was walking down the stairs. "I will, thanks."
"Night dad."
"Night son." I looked at Bobby and he smiled at me.
"What?"
"Nothing, it just means a lot to me to see you and my dad getting along like you do." "Oh, I love your dad, he's the best."
"Yeah. Come on, you go eat, I'll get the popcorn and goodies and I'll get blankets and sleeping bags for Heln and Lucy and put them in the living room." "Okay." I walked into the kitchen and sat down quickly eating the plate he made for me. Before I could finish eating the doorbell rang. I looked at the clock 7:00 on the dot. I got up and walked to the front hall where Bobby had already opened the door for them. "Hey Bobby you're looking handsome." I heard Helen flirting. I laughed and walked up to Bobby wrapping my arms around his waist and popping my head around the front of him. I could see the red in his face and I had to hide my smile. "Nice try Helen but he's my handsome man." He smiled and turned to kiss me.
"Ewwww.....get a room." I could hear Lucy screaming behind Helen. We pulled apart and they came inside. "You can put all your stuff up in Lindsay's room." "How about your room Bobby?" Bobby turned red again and turned to me. "Haha. Helen. Stop it, Bobby is going to spend all night with us too, but not if you're like this so please." "Alright, for you I will."
"Thank you."
"Linds, I'll bring them to your room, you finish eating." "I don't need to finish, I---" He cut me off by putting his hand on my stomach and mouthing the word "baby." I smiled, looked at Helen and Lucy's weird looks and walked into the kitchen. I quickly finished dinner and put the popcorn in the microwave. Bobby came down and wrapped his arms around me. I turned in his arms and kissed him. "Where are they?"
"Upstairs changing into their pajamas."
"Oh, and you didn't get the invite?" I teased.
"Well I did, but declined." Little meany he was, he played along teasing me too. "You're so funny."
"I know." He kissed me and Helen and Lucy walked in. "How long before they marry and have kids?" Helen whispered to Lucy thinking I couldn't hear them. "Haha, you know the three of you are just too funny tonight." "We know." The three of them said in unison. "But Helen you weren't all that funny you know." They stopped laughing and Bobby looked at me smiling. "What do you mean?"
"Well your sentence, that wasn't all a lie and not that funny." She searched her brain then I saw the light bulb came on. "You mean you guys are getting married?!" We both nodded our heads and said "yes" before we let her finish and we misunderstood her. "Oh my god! How is that possible?!" "Helen, that's not what was true. We misunderstood you." "Good because i wasn't gonna let you make a big mistake like that." "What do you mean mistake?" I demanded. "Well, no offense to you Bobby, I think you're a great guy but we don't want you two jumping to anything." We were quiet again before Helen spoke again. "Wait you said that's not the part we misunderstood." Bobby and I nodded. "So that means you're pregnant!" Lucy stated more than asked. "Don't be stupid, this is Lindsay Dole, miss prude and pure"
"Hey! I'm not prude!" I defended myself. "Yeah, she's not prude and she's certainly *NOT* pure." Bobby defended me too. "Gee thanks Bobby." I laughed. "So she could be?" Helen asked. "I am you guys."
"You are what?" Lucy asked. "Geez, is it that hard to tell someone I'm pregnant?"
"You are!" Helen and Lucy started jumping up and down screaming. "You guys, quiet Bobby's dad is sleeping."
"Sorry." They both said. They both turned to me and hugged me.
"I can't believe you're going to have a baby."
"I know."
"This is so great." Helen was excited. "What are you going to do though? I mean school and all?" "I don't know yet, we've been too excited to really give it a lot of thought but we have talked about it."
"This is so exciting, is it a boy or a girl?" Lucy asked. "We don't know but we're going to find."
"I can't believe you're having a baby." Helen hugged me again. "Well you know Helen, Bobby was a part of this." "Oh yeah, sorry Bobby. Congradulations." Helen hugged him and then Lucy. "Thanks."
"Come on, let's go get the movies started." I quickly changed the subject. We all went into the living room and Bobby went upstairs. "Baby, I thought you were staying with me?" He turned to me. "I am, I just wanted to get your blankets and mine and grab your algebra. You don't think I'm sitting through this?"
"Awe...Thanks sweetie." I smiled and turned back to them. We set their blankets up, moved the table and cleared the living room floor. "Okay Linds, let's watch 'Sweet Home Alabama." "You got it." I put the movie in and waited for my blankets. When Bobby came down he set our blankets next to eachother and I laid on his chest while he worked on my homework. "You know Bobby, if you want to work on my algebra I wouldn't mind." Helen chimed in halfway through the movie. "No thanks, I only work on Lindsay's." "Sh......" Lucy yelled. I laughed and turned back to the movie. When the movie was over I was in tears and Bobby was comforting me. "Linds, it was only a movie." Helen snapped at me. Bobby looked up at her.
"And these are just her hormones." He snapped back. "Geez, sorry." Helen scolded him. "Well, she can't help it and you're yelling at her." "Fine. Linds, I'm sorry." I turned to her and smiled. "It's okay."
"Okay, Lucy go put American Pie on." Bobby turned to me. "You got American Pie?" I nodded and he kissed me. "Good thing I already did your algebra." I laughed. "I was thinking of you."
"Awe...thanks." I kissed him. We watched both American Pie movies before staying up all night talking about the baby and what I was going to do. Bobby stayed awake for that part joining in our talks but when we talked about boys and gossip he decided to try and sleep. We stayed up til 4 am before finally passing out on the floor. I heard Bobby moving around and opened my eyes to see him getting up. I lifted my head and grabbed his ankle. "What are you doing up?" I mumbled and I heard him laugh. "What do you mean? It's 10 in the morning." I jumped up and felt my stomach doing flips. I ran to the bathroom and Bobby was right behind me. He held my hair back and rubbed my back. "You okay?" I threw up again and turned to him. "Yeah, I guess the morning sickness is here." I tried laughing to make light of the moment. "Yeah, guess so." He got a cold cloth for me and then helped me up. "What time you guys manage to get to sleep?" "Uh...4?" "Wow. You need sleep."
"No, they have to leave at 11:30, they're going out to Six Flags with Bec." "You're not going?"
"I don't think I could handle an amusement park." "Yeah, you're safe not going."
"Besides we get to go shopping for maternity clothes." "Oh yes. How could I forget?" I threw the cloth at him. "Come on let's wake them up." We walked into the living room and woke them up. "Come on you guys go get dressed and Bobby and I are going to make breakfast." By 11:00 everyone was dressed and in the kitchen eating pancakes.
"Bobby where is your dad?" I asked with a forkful of pancakes. "He went to the grocery store." "Oh, yeah it's Sunday." We finished our breakfast and they left. I went upstairs got my coat and Bobby wrote a note for Stephen letting him know we were heading to the mall. We were out for a while just roaming around shopping and I got a bunch of clothes. Afterwards we went to see Bobby's friend at the Hannahgan's Pub, Joe. He got Bobby a part time job as a bartender. Since he was 18 he was legally allowed to work there. He had a 10-5 job on Saturdays and Sundays and 6-10 job Mondays through Fridays. I was going to miss him, but I knew no matter how little we were around eachother we were a call away and we'd always love one another.

We both nodded our heads and said "yes" before we let her finish and we misunderstood her. "Oh my god! How is that possible?!" "Helen, that's not what was true. We misunderstood you." "Good because i wasn't gonna let you make a big mistake like that." "What do you mean mistake?" I demanded. "Well, no offense to you Bobby, I think you're a great guy but we don't want you two jumping to anything." We were quiet again before Helen spoke again. "Wait you said that's not the part we misunderstood." Bobby and I nodded. "So that means you're pregnant!" Lucy stated more than asked. "Don't be stupid, this is Lindsay Dole, miss prude and pure"
"Hey! I'm not prude!" I defended myself. "Yeah, she's not prude and she's certainly *NOT* pure." Bobby defended me too. "Gee thanks Bobby." I laughed. "So she could be?" Helen asked. "I am you guys."
"You are what?" Lucy asked. "Geez, is it that hard to tell someone I'm pregnant?"
"You are!" Helen and Lucy started jumping up and down screaming. "You guys, quiet Bobby's dad is sleeping."
"Sorry." They both said. They both turned to me and hugged me.
"I can't believe you're going to have a baby."
"I know."
"This is so great." Helen was excited. "What are you going to do though? I mean school and all?" "I don't know yet, we've been too excited to really give it a lot of thought but we have talked about it."
"This is so exciting, is it a boy or a girl?" Lucy asked. "We don't know but we're going to find."
"I can't believe you're having a baby." Helen hugged me again. "Well you know Helen, Bobby was a part of this." "Oh yeah, sorry Bobby. Congradulations." Helen hugged him and then Lucy. "Thanks."
"Come on, let's go get the movies started." I quickly changed the subject. We all went into the living room and Bobby went upstairs. "Baby, I thought you were staying with me?" He turned to me. "I am, I just wanted to get your blankets and mine and grab your algebra. You don't think I'm sitting through this?"
"Awe...Thanks sweetie." I smiled and turned back to them. We set their blankets up, moved the table and cleared the living room floor. "Okay Linds, let's watch 'Sweet Home Alabama." "You got it." I put the movie in and waited for my blankets. When Bobby came down he set our blankets next to eachother and I laid on his chest while he worked on my homework. "You know Bobby, if you want to work on my algebra I wouldn't mind." Helen chimed in halfway through the movie. "No thanks, I only work on Lindsay's." "Sh......" Lucy yelled. I laughed and turned back to the movie. When the movie was over I was in tears and Bobby was comforting me. "Linds, it was only a movie." Helen snapped at me. Bobby looked up at her.
"And these are just her hormones." He snapped back. "Geez, sorry." Helen scolded him. "Well, she can't help it and you're yelling at her." "Fine. Linds, I'm sorry." I turned to her and smiled. "It's okay."
"Okay, Lucy go put American Pie on." Bobby turned to me. "You got American Pie?" I nodded and he kissed me. "Good thing I already did your algebra." I laughed. "I was thinking of you."
"Awe...thanks." I kissed him. We watched both American Pie movies before staying up all night talking about the baby and what I was going to do. Bobby stayed awake for that part joining in our talks but when we talked about boys and gossip he decided to try and sleep. We stayed up til 4 am before finally passing out on the floor. I heard Bobby moving around and opened my eyes to see him getting up. I lifted my head and grabbed his ankle. "What are you doing up?" I mumbled and I heard him laugh. "What do you mean? It's 10 in the morning." I jumped up and felt my stomach doing flips. I ran to the bathroom and Bobby was right behind me. He held my hair back and rubbed my back. "You okay?" I threw up again and turned to him. "Yeah, I guess the morning sickness is here." I tried laughing to make light of the moment. "Yeah, guess so." He got a cold cloth for me and then helped me up. "What time you guys manage to get to sleep?" "Uh...4?" "Wow. You need sleep."
"No, they have to leave at 11:30, they're going out to Six Flags with Bec." "You're not going?"
"I don't think I could handle an amusement park." "Yeah, you're safe not going."
"Besides we get to go shopping for maternity clothes." "Oh yes. How could I forget?" I threw the cloth at him. "Come on let's wake them up." We walked into the living room and woke them up. "Come on you guys go get dressed and Bobby and I are going to make breakfast." By 11:00 everyone was dressed and in the kitchen eating pancakes.
"Bobby where is your dad?" I asked with a forkful of pancakes. "He went to the grocery store." "Oh, yeah it's Sunday." We finished our breakfast and they left. I went upstairs got my coat and Bobby wrote a note for Stephen letting him know we were heading to the mall. We were out for a while just roaming around shopping and I got a bunch of clothes. Afterwards we went to see Bobby's friend at the Hannahgan's Pub, Joe. He got Bobby a part time job as a bartender. Since he was 18 he was legally allowed to work there. He had a 10-5 job on Saturdays and Sundays and 6-10 job Mondays through Fridays. I was going to miss him, but I knew no matter how little we were around eachother we were a call away and we'd always love one another.
