Disclaimer: Not mine, wish they were I sure could use Bobby to cheer me up in these hard times! "Reuniting With Problems" Part 7 One month later I was running around my apartment looking for my shoes, Bobby was coming to pick me up any minute, we were meeting his office at the resturant and we were going to tell them about the baby, I was a little over 3 months so the doctor said if we wanted it was safer to tell people now, since I had almost finished my 1st trimester. I put my earings in and walked by the front door to turn the light off in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. I walked over and opened the door, Bobby was standing on the other side of the door with a dozen red roses in his hand, a little stuffed bunny that said I Love You, and a big smile on his face. "Hey you." I stepped aside to let him in. "Hi." I reached on my tip toes and kissed him. He held out the flowers and bunny. I grabbed them, ever since he found out about the pregnancy he had been treating me like a queen and he was so much more loving which I thought was impossible but I was wrong. "These are for you." I took them and smiled at him he was so sweet. I reached up again and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you." "Your welcome, I went to Build a Bear and made the bunny for you." I looked over the bunny, it was so cute, he was so sweet, I couldn't believe he had made it for me. "We better get going, we're going to be late." I put the roses in a vase. "Yeah okay let me get my jacket." He helped me put my coat on and we walked out and to his car. Our car ride was silent and when we got there everyone was already there. "Hey Bobby, hey Lindsay." Everyone said in unison. "Hi everyone." "Hi guys." I pulled a chair out for Lindsay and then took a seat out next to her. We sat and talked for a while after we ordered our food Bobby looked at me and I smiled and nodded at him. He looked around the table. "Hey everybody can we get your attention for a minute." Everyone looked at us. Bobby reached over and squeezed my hand and I gave him a squeeze back. "Lindsay and I are going to be having a baby." We smiled at each other, then turned our focus to the firm. They were just sitting there staring at us saying nothing. After about 2 minutes I looked to Bobby. "Well, what do you guys think?" Still there was no answer from anyone. We sat in silence for another minute before Bobby spoke. "Can someone say something?" There was still no answer I couldn't take this I looked at Bobby with tears and ran out of the resturant. I ran outside and couldn't hold back the tears, I started crying and next I knew Bobby was right next to me wrapping his arms around me and whispering his love to me. I pulled back and looked into his eyes, he had tears in his eyes too. "You okay Linds?" He was choking on tears also. "No, how can they not be happy for us?" I started crying again. He took me into his arms again and we pulled apart. "C'mon I'll go in and get our coats and we can go somewhere else to eat." "I want to come with you, I don't want to stay out here by myself." "You can take my keys and wait in the car." Bobby handed me his keys and I walked to his car. About 5 minutes later Bobby came to the car with our jackets. "Where do you want to go to dinner?" He rested his hand on my leg as we pulled out of the parking lot. "I'm not really too hungry anymore." I was starting to calm down. "Lindsay, you have to eat something." "I'm not hungry though." "Altight, how bout I make us something at home." "Fine." "Fine, my house or yours?" "Mine, I'm the only one with real food in my house." He playfully pinched me and I giggled, forgetting for now at least how unhappy the firm had been. We walked into my apartment and Bobby went to the fridge to get me something. "How about a turkey sandwich." "Yeah thats fine, thanks, don't forget to put---" "Mayonase and mustard with a little bit of pepper." I smiled thinking about how much this man knew me. "Yeah thanks." I went into my room to change out of my beautiful black dress that was supposed to be worn tonight for a special announcement and now its been runined. I changed into a work shirt left at my place from the last time Bobby was here and I grabbed the pair of pants next to them, agghh. 'there is suit pants they won't fit they are too big' I thought to myself, and I thought about it whether or not I should go search for a pair or take the oversized pants. Oh well I slid them on and walked out, it's not like I was going anywhere, I'm just going to rest and watch TV on the sofa with the man I love, plus I also know, even if Bobby doesn't, that he likes seeing me in his shirts, he thinks its sexy. pants I'm not sure but we'll find out. I walked over to the living room and turned the TV on Bobby was still in the kitchen so he hadn't seen me yet. I flipped thorugh the channels finally deciding on a re-run of friends. Bobby walked out with my sandwich and a glass of soda. He sat down right next to me, and tugged on his shirt that I was wearing. "Why is it if you want to go around the house wearing my clothes its okay, its incredibely sexy, but if it were me to walk around in your clothes, it wouldn't come close to sexy? I would get put in jail for that kind of stuff." I giggled and punched his arm. We watched TV and at about 9 I was half asleep. Bobby shok me a little and helped me get into bed before undressing and slipping into bed spooning me up with his arms protectively wrapped around my stomach. I fell right to sleep, but after a few minutes Bobby was shaking me again. "Lindsay you awake?" I turn to face him. "I wasn't before you woke me up." "Sorry. Goodnight." I slapped him with my pillow. "Ow. What was that for?" "You woke me up to ask if I was sleeping to then say goodnight?" "No, I was going to ask if you could take your clothes off." I hit him with the pillow again. "Ow." "Bobby I know I've never said this to you but I'm not in the mood." "No, no that's not what I meant. I mean you are wearing my clothes and its hard to sleep with someone who smells like yourself." I laughed to myself but he must have heard.,casue next I knew he was talking again. "Are you laughing at me now?" "Yes. You are so dumb sometimes." I loved playing around with him. "Gee, compliment? Thanks." I dressed into a pair of my cloud PJ's and snuggled back into bed with him, this time it was him who went back to sleep and I lay awake in bed silently crying so I wouldn't wake him. I guess I wasn't too silent because he was awake again., this time he talked with a comforting voice instead of a playful tone. "Linds, whats wrong?" He held me closer to him, and I snuggled into his chest. "Nothing." "You are not going to lay here and tell me nothing when you are lying here in bed crying. Now talk to me please, I'm here, now you need to meet me half way and open to me. Now what's wrong?" I knew how right he was but I knew how bad I was at opening up like this but I love this man, I am having his baby, I can talk to him about anything. He's right I need to tell him how I feel. "It's just, I, I just, I--" "Is this about the office?" He chimed in on me. Thank god I didn't think I could say it. "Yeah." "Listen to me Lindsay. Of course they are happy for us. This is a big shock for everyone, maybe we just need to give them a little time to digest the news." Maybe he was right I never thought of that. I was to upset to think of any excuse. "You think so?" "Of course I do, how could they not be happy for us?" "You're right. So we'll give them a little time?" "Yeah just a little time." I gave him a squeeze and he hugged me tightly. "We have to tell Helen too Bobby, do you think she'll be happy?" "Linds, why are you even asking if Lindsay will be happy? She's your best friend of course she'll be thrilld." "Well, everyone at the firm is your best friend and look what happened." "Linds, you're my best friend." "You know what I mean Bobby." "Yeah, I do but still Lindsay she will be overjoyed." "Yeah, you are probably right again." "Wow, twice in one night. Can I have this in writing." He started tickling me. "No. Bobby stop, stop Bobby STOP." Finally he stopped. We laid back down and finally fell asleep. I woke up the next morning with my normal morning sickness, but Bobby was already out of bed. I showered and dressed and walked to the kitchen where Bobby was getting something out of the fridge. He looked up when he heard me. "Morning sunshine." I smiled and walked to him. "Morning." I gave him a short kiss on the lips. "What do you want for breakfest?" "Well, I was going to call Helen and ask her if she wanted to go out for brunch I thought I could tell her about the baby." I smiled, everytime I thought about the baby I just couldn't help smiling and either could Bobby. "Okay. What time you going to home I want to take you out to dinner and if your having brunch you probably won't be eating til tonight." "Umm. I don't know what time, I'll phone you and let you know." "Okay." I walked over and grabbed the phone. "Hey Helen, you want to meet me at the Harbor Cafe' for lunch today." "Of course, like you had to ask." "See ya in 20?" "You got it." "Okay, I'm heading out, you can stay here or go to your place, make sure you lock the doors if you leave and I'll call you later." "Yes, mom." I stuck my tongue out at him. "Shut up." He smiled and walked me to the door. "Love you Linds." I gave him a kiss. "Love you too baby." And I was out the door. I was at the cafe' before Helen which was not surprising. I was there about 5 minutes before she showed up. I stood up and kissed her cheek. "Hey babe." "Hey Linds.' We sat down. "i haven't seen you forever what's new? How's Bobby?" "Bobby's great, I'm fine well better then fine actually." "What's up." We ordered our drinks and I looked back at her. "I'm, well I should say, Bobby and I are having a baby." I looked at Helen. She just stared at me. "Helen, Helen." I didn't want to make a big scene in public. "HELEN!" Everyone looked at me and I turned red. Our waitress came with our drinks and somehow Helen orederd her food and then was quiet again. She squealed, jumped up and hugged the life out of me. She screamed in my ear. "You're pregnant! You're pregnant Linds! You're having a baby!" I pulled away and she sat back down my face was so red and she had not been quiet to sat the least so everyone in the cafe' knew I was having a baby. Too make it worse she turned to everyone and shouted. "My best friend is having a baby!" I was sinking down in my chair. Next I knew Helen was sitting again and I heard a lot of rounds of "Congratulations" He shared a somewhat as quiet as you can get after that shouting, brunch together. "We have to go baby shopping, buy lot's of baby stuff, we're going to spoil your baby rotten." I smiled wishing the firm could be this happy, maybe not this happy but happy at least. "So you're happy?" I knew the answer but I had to hear it from someone. "Am I happy?" She raised her voice not good. Ugh. She is standing up. "Everyone! She asked if I was happy?!?" She started laughing and everyone just looked at her. I stood up and grabbed her arm, I paid for brunch and left. When we we're outside my face was starting to turn to normal colour. "Okay Helen, thanks for an interesting lunch. Call me got it?" "Okay, thanks for making me an Auntie. I'll call you babe." "Bye" "Bye." And I walked to my car. I opened the door to Bobby's apartment and he was sitting on the couch. I walked over and kissed him. "Hey Bobby." "Hey sweetie. How was lunch, you were done a lot sooner then I would have thought." "Haha. It was good, I missed you thats why." "I know, you didn't have to tell me that." I slapped him on the shoulder. "So modest too." "That's my best feature." "I can tell you its NOT. But you know--" "Fine want me to show you instead?" He started to reach and I took his hand. "Please, don't flatter yourself." He pretended to pout, I just smiled. "So you're in a better mood than last night, I take it lunch went well." "Oh my god you don't know the half of it." I sat down and told him the story and when I was done he was laughing so hard and I didn't find it funny. "But she was happy?" "She was thrilled." "Good." We sat in silence and then I looked up at him. "I wish the firm could be as happy as Helen was for us." He touched my face. "Linds, it'll be okay, even if they aren't happy our baby will be so loved. Just the love from you and I, then is Helen and my dad and your parents,sooner or later the firm will suck it up and come around." "Yeah, I know, you're right. Thanks, I needed to hear that. Do you think I could come to one of your staff meetings this week? Maybe we could talk to them." "Of course you can. We have to have dad over too this week to tell him." "Okay, I hope he is happy." "Linds, he'll be so happy I wouldn't be surprised if he acted more than Helen did." "Oh god more embarrassment." "Well, this will be in the privacy of our home at least." "Yeah." "Speaking or 'our home' I was thinking, when the baby comes, I'm not gonna wanna be away from you two so I was thinking maybe you should move in with me,and I'm gonna want to be there every step while you're pregnant. So what do you think? Move in with me?" I stared at him and began to stand up. Well that's it for now. I'm sorry but I haven't ended with a cliffhanger in a long time. It might be a while til anything from me bacause I am going through a rough patch. Well you can send feedback to me or if IF Edene doesn't mind send it to her and she'll send it to me, because I can't e-mail the group at the location I'm at. Well til next story. Love Lyndsds
