Hey guys, please review, it really makes my day. Here is the next chapter R&R PLEASE! xxx
Chapter 5- Precious Movements
I look over to see Marissa fast asleep and smile to myself; only she could fall asleep with Seth still talking about himself. I mean I love the guy but he spends a lot of time talking about himself. Marissa looks so peaceful and I just smile to myself and think about everything that has happened in the last 2 weeks. We have both been so happy. the car pulls into the estate and Marissa wakes up and looks around, "look Ryan, the block at the end of the street has finally got a house on it, wow it's beautiful I wonder who built it?" I just smiled to myself and my little secret.
As we get back to the house I'm still thinking about the house at the end of the street, and the look on Ryans face. We pull up in the Cohens driveway and i smile at the thought that Ryan still lives in the pool house. Ryan gets out of the car and wanders around to my door and opens it helping me out. i hadn't realized how difficult everyday things were getting. i give Ryan a smile as Sandy grabs the bags and Ryan my hand. We go inside and sit in the lounge room. Seth asks, "if you two aren't tired we could spend the afternoon at the pier and then have dinner at the dinner?" Everyone looks at me, "what?"
Ryan responds, "well it sounds good to me if Marissa is up to it." "Well I would love it" I said smiling "i need a shower. . .and so does Ryan" he catches the glimmer in my eye and smiles "why don't we meet back here in an hour?" sounds great.
Summer lays down the rug she bought with her and we all relax. I help Marissa down and she sits in front of me between my legs and relaxes. "I've missed it here" everyone is quiet just sitting there staring at the waves rolling in. Marissa turns her head slightly and whispers in my ear, "I have a craving for a burrito" I chuckle to myself and whisper back, "do you want to go for a walk?" she nods. "Guys Marissa and I are going to gets some burritos do you want anything?" Seth and Summer shake their heads no and I help Marissa up. We walk off hand in hand. When we get to the Mexican stand on the pier Marissa turns to me, "Ry, I don't feel like Mexican anymore" I shake my head and laugh. We decide just to go for a walk along the beach. "Ryan?" "Yeah babe" "are you happy that I'm pregnant?" "I've never been happier about anything in my life."
"So you guys what do you feel like?" "um, sorry guys I'll be right back" i don't have to look around to know that Ryan was following me even if it was into the ladies bathroom. He's been so supportive of me and i think about how lucky I am. After about 15 minutes we return to the table hand-in-hand. "Sorry guys" I said giving a weak smile. They just smile back understandingly. Ryan says, "um, I'm going to take Marissa home" they nod again "we'll see you tomorrow?" they nod again. i feel bad leaving like this but i know that they understand.
I walk Marissa to the car and help her in. as i get in and start the car I realize that she's already asleep. When we arrive home I pull up and get Marissa out of the car being very careful and carry her to the pool house laying her on the bed. I change my clothes and then i pull out Marissa's Pj's from one of the suitcases and carefully undress her. I wander inside to get something to eat because it's only 8:00pm and I'm hungry. As I walk into the kitchen just as Sandy is serving dinner. Kirsten asks if i would like to join them I nod yes and we sit down to dinner. "So where is Marissa?" "Well, we were at the diner having dinner and she was sick again so I brought her home and put her to bed" "where's Seth?" "Oh, he's staying at Summer's tonight. She thought it would be best to take him off my hands for the night so Marissa and I would get some peace." They both chuckled. "So is everything set up for tomorrow?" sandy replies, "yeah, as you know the building crew finished about 3 weeks ago" Kirsten added, "Julie, Kaitlin and I finished the house beginning of the week so everything is set for tomorrow" she said smiling and continued, "I booked and appointment with Dr. Klieff for the day after tomorrow. i nod yes. "Everyone is going to be at the house for lunch tomorrow at 12pm and we'll be waiting in the pool house." I nod yes again "thank you so much for helping us out like this" Kirsten and Sandy smile knowing how much they really have helped" As i help Kirsten clean up she adds, "I got both you and Marissa jobs at the Newport Group, you both start back 2 months after the baby is born" "I...I don't know what to say. ." "Thank you!" I said hugging her. We both continued to talk for a couple of hours and I finally said goodnight and headed back to the pool house. I walk back into the pool house to see Marissa once again with her head over the toilet. Helping her up i gently carry her back to the bed and lay her down. She sits up as I sit next to her, "thanks" she says as she rubs her swollen middle. I put my arm around her and she leans back against me she goes to speak and then stops, i pull back and look at her, "what" i said slightly concerned "sshh..." she gently grabs my hand and puts it on her stomach. I feel it too; little feet. I continue to smile as we sit there for hours feeling those precious little movements and it begins to sink in. where having a baby.
