Drake was now a huge star having his record come out while we were apart and it shooting to number one and going platinum 3 times, it was easy for us to get a table at the Ivory with no reservation. As soon as we got out of the car there were paparazzi all over the place waiting to get a glimpse of any star. While we were apart I tried not to watch TMZ or E! it would just make me upset with candid photo's of Drake kissing various stars including Bebe who's CD didn't even make it on the top 100.
"Drake… Drake…! Where's Bebe? Who's this with you? Are you the babies Daddy?" A group of paparazzi asked with there camera bulbs flashing.
"Let me clear this up now. This is my fiancée Ashlee and I are expecting a baby boy."
"How many months are you Ashlee?" I got so nervous I felt like I was going to puke. I hated cameras!
"We're at the 5 month point." Drake spoke up for me.
"Weren't you with Bebe a few months ago?"
Drake took me by the hand and navigated me through the crowd of Photographers asking ridiculous questions. Finally we were in the restaurant and sat immediately.
"That was nuts Drake, next time were ordering pizza." Everyone laughed.
The dinner went well Megan and Audrey talked about setting up a baby shower for me. Drake and Josh talked about all the things that they were going to do with the soon to be mini me's. When we finished dinner I went back to the town home that I knew all to well. Drake whisked me off to his bedroom which use to be our and I guess will be again, leaving his family down the stairs to entertain themselves. I sat down on the bed exhausted from the day's events.
"Are you glad to be moving in?" He asked sitting next to me rubbing my back.
"I really am, I just want things to be normal, as normal of a life as we can give him. And you have changed so much and you remind me of the man I first met in Jersey."
"I have and I mean I never thought my life could be this good. Are you tired do you want to lie down? We have a ton of your clothes here still I didn't move them there still in your draws."
"That sounds great I don't want to be rude, you know with your parents here."
"No you have to relax. They'll understand, just lie down and take a short nap." Drake covered me up wit his comforter and kissed me on my forehead.
I feel asleep almost instantaneously but I was woken up by my phone ringing. I leaned over the side of the bed to pick up my cell phone.
---------------------Phone conversation----------------
Jared- Ashlee!
Me- What, what's wrong?
Jared- Turn on channel 5 hurry now.
(I reached over to the end table and clicked the TV on.)
Jared- You're on it after the commercial.
Me- I'll call you back.
"Drake!" I yelled down the stair well. Drake ran up the stairs like superman.
"Ash what's wrong?"
"Come here!"
I sat Drake down at the end of the bed and turned the volume up.
Drake Parker 21 year old singer now expecting a baby and not from the any of the girls that we have seen him around town with, but an Ashlee Green 21 year old college student from New Jersey. They say they are expecting a baby boy in 4 month. Well that will be one beautiful baby! Now more updates with Brittany spears.
I put the TV on mute. "How did they know all of that?"
"I have no clue."
"Jesus I didn't even get to tell anyone it was a boy."
"Don't worry about it. I bet no one saw it."
"Yeah… well let me call my parents before someone else tells them."
Just as I was about to pick up my phone Drake's cell rang.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Drake- hello?
Drake- listen I don't have time for this I said were done… look I have a family to worry about now… Look just don't call here again.
"That was…"
"Don't worry about it… I don't care, I don't want to worry about the past just the future." Drake's phone didn't stop ringing for about 2 hours until he got so pissed off he threw it at the wall and broke it into pieces.
I had called my family but people had already told them, my mom wasn't completely thrilled to be a grandmother and acted as if she was to busy to talk on the phone and handed it to my dad.
"Is he treating you good? Are you getting enough sleep? Don't exhaust yourself to much this is the time to relax and spend time together because pretty soon it won't be just you and him it will be the three of you." My dad acted as if he cared which was a very unusual to me.
Finally everyone had left and Josh had gone to a club to stake out some new talent. Drake took me into the game room.
"I want to turn this room into the nursery. I thought Josh and I could paint it and we could go get some things for the baby. I want him to have everything."
"Everything? Why?"
"Ash I had nothing when I was little, I mean nothing we were lucky if my mom could put food on the table, my dad was never around and when he was it was only to sober up. My mom would cry almost every night because he would bring women home and kick us out. Finally she had the courage to get her stuff and leave we lived with my grandmother until she died and we got the house, my mom met Walter and things starting going good I mean we didn't have to worry about where the next meal was coming from and he treats her great."
"I didn't know." I said reaching for his hand.
"That's because I didn't want you to know or I didn't want to admit to myself that I was just like him."
"Your not because you came back to take care of us, your not giving up. Babe I'm sorry but I have to go to bed I am so tired."
"Okay go in the room I have something for you and the baby."
"Okay." I walked down the hall with a smile on my face I couldn't believe how much I loved him at this moment.
Drake walked into the room with his guitar strapped to his chest.
"You remember how you said Jared use to read to the baby and talk to it."
"Yeah…"
"Well I never know what to say and the only reading I have in here is rated R, so I thought I would sing to it, I mean him. Every night if its okay with you."
"Oh yeah… that's a great idea!"
"Okay this is one of the great Lennon songs." Drake loved the Beatles he had there signed album of Abby Roads hanging on the mantel framed. Drake had me lay down with my shirt over my belly so the baby could hear him better.
Close
your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the
run and your daddy's here,
Beautiful,
Beautiful,
beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Before you go to sleep,
Say
a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better
and better,
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful
Boy,
Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just
have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the
meantime,
Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While your busy making
other plans,
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful
Boy,
Darling,
Darling
He was so handsome, as he sang and played the guitar. He put down his guitar and leaned on the bed and put his lips to my belly and kissed it lightly he moved his lips up to my mouth and we connected. I don't know what comes over us when were together it's always on either end of the spectrum, either it was better then it will ever be or the apocalypse. We kissed then kissed some more, nothing could stop us at that moment except the damn phone that rang and rang.
"Just let it go Ash." He ordered in-between kisses.
Drake reached his arm behind the bed and pulled out the wire without even leaving my lips.
"I love you Ashlee." His said as his lips moved to my ear then my neck. "I want you so bad. You are so beautiful right now. I miss you."
He didn't wait for an answer he just slid out of his jeans and I did the same. I didn't know how I felt about him seeing me like this or how it would even work. But I wanted him so bad that all my worries took a back seat. Drake was gentle and slow. Being cautious the whole time, it was like we were never apart. Drake finished and laid down beside me.
"You want me to draw you a bath?" Drake asked tracing his finger up and down my arm.
"That sounds really good." I said twirling the sheets around me as I tried to move off the bed.
"Why are you being shy?" He asked trying to grab the sheet off of me.
"Drake I was always fit and now I'm huge, period!"
Drake just shook his head and kissed me on the fore head as he went in the bathroom to run the water for me.
"There's clean towels and everything in there for you. I'm going to get something to eat."
