"Reuniting With Problems" Part 8

For the next 3 months Bobby and I grew closer and closer than we'd been since we got back together. We kind of dismissed the moving in thing for a while I told him a3 months ago I wasn't ready but maybe sometime. I was 5 months pregnant and we were starting to get ready for the baby. We had turned Bobby's study into a nursery, moving his desk and everything out into the free space in the living room. Bobby picked up the light pink paint I picked out and white trim. We had gone to the furniture shope about a month ago and picked out the most beautiful sets, one for my apartment and a set for his. The set we bought for Bobby's apartment was a white sleigh crib, along with that we picked out a matching 4 drawer dresser, changing table, a play chest/bench and a hutch with lots of space for her toys. It was perfect, Bobby picked up some nice white shelves for the walls. We got a nice rocking chair and a wall hanger with letters to spell her name, Emma Lynn, I was going to put it right across the big wall next to her crib. For my apartment Bobby and I made my guest room into the nursery and he had just finished painting the room baby blue and I spent the week with my aunt and Helen stencling little star and moons over the walls. The baby furniture we bought for my apartment was oak finished and moonand star themed. I bought everything the set had to it for each set. I wanted her to have everything. We almost had the nursery at my place done, I just had to finish putting the bedding down and finish packing away her clothes in the closte and dresser. Now our focus was his place. We were spending the whole weekend together, painting and setting up the furniture. I had been showing for about a month and I wasn't excited at first but Bobby couldn't stop smiling. I didn't let him come anywhere near me though. He would tell me everyday how beautiful I am and I didn't believe him but I knew he loved me, he told me everyday, maybe it was a matter of time that I needed. "Lindsay!" He called out for me, I was finishing dressing, that's another thing, Bobby and I were going shopping for some maternity clothes, Helen was with her parents this weekend and couldn't go, but this meant more time with Bobby. "I'm in your room." He walked in just as I finished. I was so happy. I didn't want him to see me dress; i looked so awful! "Hey pumpkin." "Hey." I walked over and kissed him. "You readyto start?" "Yeah, let's go." We walked into the nursery and began painting. Since we painted my place when I was about 4 months along I was still in some shape to do it, but today I was feeling run down and Bobby could see it. "You stop when it gets to much, and only work on the low areas." "Yes daddy." I said to him teasingly. I started back at my spot on the wall painting. "Ow!" I screamed and held my stomach, Bobby was there is less than a second. "What's wrong?" I could hear the worry in his voice. "She kicked." I was smiling and I knew he was too. "really? Oh my god, she kicked!" He sounded so excited. "Yeah, here give me your hand." I reached over and put his hand in mine and put our entwined hands over my slightly swollen stomach. Then I realized something, I was letting Bobby touch my body. She kicked again and I turned to ask Bobby if he felt it but I didn't have to ask it was written on his face, and in his eyes. "She kicked." He said to me in aw. "I know." I laughed a little. We stood there for a minute longer and then we started painting again. We spent the whole day painting and we finished around 6 pm. It was perfect, we were going to move the furniture in tomorrow. I went right to the couch and sat down putting my feet up. "Ugh. What a day." He sat next to me and I put my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. "You know Lindsay, maybe, well I know this isn't romantic or anything, but I had this whole thing planned out and now it just doesn't fit, I don't know why but, well-------" He turned to me and reached for his pocket. "Spit it out." I told him and he reached for my hand with a box in the other. Oh my god, I couldn't believe this was happening. "Will you marry me?" I couldn't believe this was happening. "What?!" Wow, that was harsh, calm down, you love this man. "I'm sorry, I know you and I--" "I can't, not yet Bobby. I'm so sorry, but not yet." I cut him off. "It's okay, I understand. I just---" He stopped mid sentence and looked up. "Wait! Not yet?" I could hear hope in his voice. "Yeah, not yet." "But that's not a no." "You're right it's not. I just, with the baby and everything,I can't. I don't want this to be just because of the baby." "It's not, I love you." "I know you do, but I just can't, not right now. Soon maybe, but I can't yet,I'm so sorry. I do love you so so much." "It's okay, I love you so so much too. I do, I really love you." We sat there in silence for a few minutes, we didn't know what to say.What would happen next? Then he turned to me. "What if you move in with me?" "Bobby, I can't do that either. Not yet." "Why? We're going to have a baby." "I know, but I'm scared." "Of what?" "Of the last time, when we got engaged and moved in with each other. Look what happened. I don't want that to happen again." "Okay, but, well okay." I hugged him and kissed him, I didn't know what to do. "You hungry?" I knew he was upset and just trying to forget what he'd said.

"yeah, starved. You want to make something together?" He smiled again. "Sure. I'd love too." He stood and reached for my hand helping me o my feet. We cooked dinner and sat at the dining room table. The whole night was uncomfortable even though we talked about it. We watched a movie and I sat on the chair while he sat on the couch. I felt akward the whole night. When the movie was over I got up. "Okay, I'm gonna get going." He stood up too, but he wasn't expecting me to leave." "What?" He sounded shocked. "I'm tired so I'm going to get going and I'll come by and see you tomorrow." "Well if you're tired we can go to bed." "No, it's okay. I'll see you tomorrow." I saw the disappointment in his eyes. "Okay fine. I'll call you okay?" "Yeah, okay." I gathered my things and gave him a kiss before walking for the door. He followed me and saw me to the door. He reached for my cheek and leaned in to give me a kiss. "I love you." "I love you too." And I walked down to my car, I actually had tears in my eyes. This was the first time we'd spent a night apart from each other since he was in the hospital. We were always spending the night at one another's house, but tonight we weren't. As soon as I got home I went right to sleep. I slept til 9 am which was unusual for me. As soon as I woke the phone rang. "Hello." I said half asleep. "Hey Lindsay, it's bec." "Oh hey, this is a surprise." It really was since I hadn't talked to any of the firm since we told them I was pregnant. "Can we get some lunch? I miss talking to you." "Ummm...How about brunch? I have to go shopping this afternoon." "Okay, an hour? Cafe' down on the corner from the office." "Sounds great." I got up showered and dressed quickly. I was out the door at 9:45 and at the cafe' at 10:15, I was a little late. "Hey Lindsay." "Hey, how are you?" "I've been better, I haven't been too good since you told us the news." "Oh." I looked down. The waitress came over and we ordered our food. "Lindsay, I'm sorry I acted the way I did, I'm so happy for you and Bobby. I just didn't know how to react. But this is great news. And the firm got you and Bobby a gift." She handed me an envelope. "Thanks Bec." I had tears in my eyes, damn hormones. I opened it and there was a card signed by everyone and a gift certificate for Bobby and I to one of our favorite resturants. I smiled and got up to give her a hug. "We're all happy for you guys." "Thanks Bec." I smiled through tears. Our food arrived and after we were done eating I paid and we left. "I'll talk to you soon, and tell Bobby I said hello." "I will thanks again." And I drove back to my place. I walked in expecting it to be empty but to my surprise I had a visitor sitting on my couch. "Hey sweetie." I walked over to him. "Hey, what are you doing here?" "I missed you and tried calling and couldn't get a hold of you." "Oh, I went to brunch with Bec." "Really?" He sounded as surprised as I had when she called me. "Yeah, she gave you and I a gift and the firm wrote us a card." "wow." "Yeah, here it is." I handed it to him and he read it. "That was nice of them." "Yeah, so what's up?" "I just wanted to see you." "Oh. So, what do you want to do today?" I was trying to forget the night before. "I don't know. Do you want to go shopping for your clothes?" "Sure. If you want to." "Alrighty, let's go then. I'll even treat you to lunch." We walked to my door and he put his arm around my shoulder. "Gee, you're so nice. Don't put yourself out on my account."Let's just go silly one." He smiled at me and I knew things were okay again. After shopping for most of the day we went to luncharound 2 pm and then we went back to my place. Bobby went into the living room and I put all my new clothes away. When I walked out to the living room he was watching a basketball game highlight. I'm gonna go finish putting Emma's clothes away Bobby." He turned to me and smiled, everytime we talked about Emma we smiled. "Okay, I'm gonna finish the highlights and then you and I can take a 'nap'." I knew exactly what he meant when he gave me that grin. I pasted a smile on my face , but when I went into Emma's room I sat down and cried. I can't let Bobby see me, but I miss being with him, I miss holding him, I miss just touching him.I miss him. It took me an hour to finish with the nursery and I went back into the living room. "The nursery is offically done." I sat next to him. "Not yet it isn't." "What? Why?" "Because we don't have a little baby to fill it with yet." "Oh yeah, well I'm working on that one. Give me some time will you?" "Okie dokie, I guess I can do that." I laughed and crawled into his lap. He pulled me to him and held me. "I'm not too heavy for you am I?" "No, you're not too heavy." "Okay good." I don't know what it was but I just started kissing his neck and I unbuttoned the top buttons of his shirt and kissed him. He was very surprised, but he didn't stop. I could feel his arms running up and down my back. I kissed his lips and opened his mouth with my tongue and we kissed passionately. I stood up and he tried picking me up. I pulled away. "Bobby what are you doing?" "Carrying you to the bedroom." "Bobby put me down." "No, hold on to me." "Well if this doesn't ruin the moment." I laughed. "Just hold on will you." "Don't drop me." "I won't." "Okay." He lifted me and carried me to the bedroom and laid me on the bed. He started to unbutton my shirt and I trembled so he stopped. "You okay?" I nodded. "You sure?" "I'm okay, I just--" He stopped me with a kiss. "I love you and you're beautiful and you're carrying my baby." I smiled. I reached up for his shirt and started to undo the buttons, and I pulled out his shirt and went for his belt. When I had completly stripped him he did the same to me only slower making sure I was okay. Once my stomach was showing he smiled and kissed it, that made me giggle. He finished undressing me and carefully turned both our bodies to the side and brought me closer to him. I grabbed on his back scratching him but he didn't care and he thrust himself, I moaned with pleasure as both of us climaxed and laid together sweating, bringing in the scent of our love making. We laid side by side, I rolled over so my back was against his chest and he rest his arms around my waist and on my stomach protecting our baby. And that's how he fell asleep, I stayed awake thinking how I loved this man so much and how I felt like I'd hurt him by not saying yes to either questions. After deciding he understood and my decision was the right one I drifted off to sleep thinking about me, Bobby and our baby. I slept for an hour or so when I felt my stomach jolt, it wasn't a feeling I'd felt before, it was a feeling of extreme pain. I looked down a feel of warm liquid and saw blood covering my shhets. I turned and shook Bobby. "What's wrong?" He was half asleep. "Bobby, I'm bleeding. Call the doctor, I'm bleeding!"
