Chapter 14-Girl Meets Month 6
I'm now 6 months pregnant and getting closer and closer to the baby arriving, after finding out we're having a girl last month Josh and I had done so much shopping it was crazy how much we had done. My room was literally filled with all of the baby stuff in like ten boxes and then all the boxes the stuff like the cot and the mobile and everything comes in, thankfully they're not in my room anymore Josh took them and told me he had a place to store all the boxes thank god my room was becoming cramped, but the fact it was is starting to worry me considering I'm sixth months pregnant with a lot of baby stuff and Josh and I haven't even talked about where we'll fit a baby he keeps telling me not to worry and he'll sort everything but that doesn't reassure me considering we still have no place for a baby. Josh has been kind of a wall the past few weeks and I have no idea why I mean he has college and his two jobs but the spaces where we had time to spend together now he doesn't have the time to spend with me and he won't tell me why. It's not just Josh though I mean everyone has been bailing on me a lot lately saying they have other plans and the fact I'm pregnant and seriously emotional because my hormones are everywhere isn't making it better. Right now I'm in my bedroom drawing, it's been months since I've drawn but now I have more free time because everyone is busy it's the perfect way to relax me, I'm sat on my bed wearing a coral sleeveless dress that comes down to my mid-thigh and covers my bump, a white knit cardigan that goes down to my mid-thigh and a pair of coral flats. My hair is straight and I have on black mascara, black eyeliner, my eyebrows, nude matte lipstick, concealer, bronzer and highlighter. Finishing off with a pair of pearl earrings, a gold necklace with my name on, a few bracelets and my princess pandora promise ring.
Knock Knock!
I look up to see Josh leaning against my doorframe with his arms crossed watching me draw, he knows I never have time to draw or paint anymore and it's a shame because I love it so much.
"Do I know you? You look a lot like my boyfriend, but I could be confused considering he's been a wall the past few weeks so I may have forgotten what he looks like" I say and he chuckles.
"That's cute babe" Josh says walking over, he sits with me on my bed wrapping his arm around my shoulders placing his hand on my belly and I place mine over his "I missed you too" Josh says.
"Why have you been so busy lately?" I ask Josh "We rarely get enough time to spend together as it is" I tell him.
"I know, I've been working on something for you" Josh says and I eye him suspiciously.
"It's not just you Josh it's everyone, even my friends always have other plans it's like I've gone invisible which is kind of hard considering you can't miss me" I say referring to my bump and he laughs "Don't laugh I'm mad at you" I say getting up and putting all my art stuff away.
"Babe" Josh says and I ignore him "Maya" Josh says "Are you giving me the silent treatment?" Josh asks and I continue to ignore him "Oh I see how it is" Josh says, I feel Josh wrap his arms around me placing his hands on my stomach and he kisses my neck "Still ignoring me?" Josh whispers and I nod, he kisses my neck harder and I bite my lip to suppress a moan but it slips out.
"I hate you" I say and he chuckles on my neck before kissing behind my ear as my breathing hitches.
"I knew that would work" Josh chuckles, I turn around wrapping my arms around his neck "Yeah we've all been busy but we have a good reason, I have a surprise for you" Josh says and I eye him suspiciously "I'll show you why I've been so busy lately, why we all have been come on" Josh says taking my hand walking backwards and I sigh following him as he smiles. We make our way out of my apartment and we get into his car as he drives us somewhere.
"Just tell me" I say and he shakes his head "You know I hate surprises" I say and he chuckles, Josh pulls up to a building that has a nice exterior, it's the same type of building apartment to Riley's but it's a few blocks away from her place and mine "Why are we in battery park city?" I ask Josh.
"You'll see" Josh says getting out, he opens the door for me taking my hand "See the top one?" Josh asks, I look up as there are two apartments on each building and I nod "That's our new place" Josh says.
"Wait what?" I ask Josh looking at him and he chuckles as we make our way up and he unlocks the door.
"Remember that night we were talking about living arrangements when the baby came?" Josh asks and I nod "I didn't want you to have to deal with that as well as everything else and stress you out" Josh says "I started looking for apartments with the help of Cory and Topanga as well as your parents and my parents" Josh says as we walk up the stairs "Nice neighbourhood, perfectly safe for our little girl and there is a school down the road" Josh says.
"You kept saying you'd take care of it and I got worried because I didn't think you were...I'm sorry" I say to Josh.
"I just wanted it to be a surprise, it's why I've been working two jobs to pay for this place, both our parents and my brother pitched in to pay the first months rent for this place and I've been working two jobs to save up money to carry on paying for it after this month is up and I've been working two jobs to decorate the place" Josh says as we arrive at the apartment and stand outside "Everyone helped with decorating the apartment and all the girls wanted to make it look nice and since Riles is your best friend she knows what you like more than anyone" Josh says and I chuckle.
"You really did all this?" I ask Josh.
"Of course Maya, I'm serious about us being a family and I wanted to surprise you with this place there's a room for us two and one for the baby, living room, bathroom, kitchen it's perfect" Josh says and I smile "The past few weeks I've been working on the place a lot to get it finished quickly with everyone helping as well that's why we've been busy trying to get this right, it was finished yesterday and they haven't seen it finished yet so they're all coming around later" Josh says.
"Have I ever told you how amazing you are?" I say wrapping my arms around his neck.
"A few times" Josh says and I kiss him.
"I love you Josh" I say.
"I love you too gorgeous" Josh says "Wanna see it?" Josh asks and I nod, Josh unlocks the door and we walk inside and I'm in awe. The apartment has light wooden floors and a light grey paint on the walls, the apartment is open plan so the living room and kitchen are in the same room ( pin/763852786769457848/).
"This place is amazing" I tell Josh, he leads me through the apartment and into our bedroom ( pin/551479916849770257/) "Is this our room?" I ask and he nods smiling "I can't believe you did this for us" I smile and he leans down to kiss me.
"I'd do anything for you" Josh says and I smile "And now the baby's room" Josh says as we walk into an empty room "I thought we could decorate the baby's room together and you could paint the design on the walls" Josh says an I hug him tight "I'm taking you like it then" Josh says.
"I love it" I say to Josh as I hug him and he hugs me tightly "And I know she will too" I say pulling back and he smiles as he moves a strand of hair behind my ear and softly kisses me making me smile.
"I already moved all of my stuff in and the baby's stuff is here as well so that means all we need to do is move your stuff in and we can move in together" Josh says and I smile. After a while of awing over the apartment, Josh and I head to mine to start packing as we want to move in as quickly as possible as we still have the babies room to do before I give birth and to make sure everything is ready for when the baby comes. I don't pack everything though I just pack all of my clothes, my art stuff, my make-up and beauty products and some personal stuff. Everyone helps me pack and helps move the boxes into our new place and everyone loves it and agreed to help paint the babies room. After we get everything to the apartment and unpack most of it, everyone leaves and since it's pretty late Josh and I get ready for bed considering I'm exhausted and Josh has class in the morning.
"So so so tired" I say climbing in bed with Josh who wraps his arms around me.
"I know babe me too" Josh sighs kissing my head "It's crazy to think it's been six months we've been together already" Josh says and I chuckle.
"I know it's gone fast" I sigh and he nods "It's been amazing though" I say and he kisses my head "Night Josh" I say.
"Night beautiful" Josh says and we drift to sleep together.
