Chapter 8: Unwanted Sweetheart

"Wait!" Aria jumps in. "Do we have to find out? I mean this is only like one of the real true surprises in life."

"Aria, I really don't think we need any more surprises. This pregnancy was surprise enough, don't you think?" Ezra tells her.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Aria says shrugging off.

"Alright, so do you want to know?" Ezra asks her. Aria nods, "Okay, go ahead doc."

"It's a girl." The doctor finally says.

Aria squeals, "Aww yeah, Leah will have a little sister!"

Leah's POV

I haven't see mommy for what seems like forever. Daddy told me she went to go see grandma, but he won't tell me why. Maybe he doesn't even know why. Daddy won't let me go see mommy, I asked if I could go see grandma and he told me no. I've been with Auntie Ali a lot, I don't mind it though. It's fun getting to be with Auntie Ali and Uncle Andrew, and my cousins Whitney, Aubrey, and Micah. I miss mommy, I wonder what's wrong with her, does she not love me anymore? I know that she's been crying a lot, at night I used to wake up and hear her sniffles.

"Leah, do you want to stop and Lucky Leon's on the way home and get a cupcake?" daddy asks me.

"Yes, please daddy." I would never pass up a cupcake. I've noticed that I've been getting a lot of special treatment lately. I think it's because daddy doesn't want me to be sad that mommy's gone. But, I know she'll come back, she wouldn't just leave would she? I don't think daddy wants me to notice that mommy's gone, but I notice a lot. I hear daddy and Auntie Ali talking about mommy a lot. I miss mommy, I hope she comes back soon.

"Leah, do you want a chocolate or white cupcake?" Daddy asks me as we get close to Lucky Leon's.

"Chocolate," I yell. "With pink frosting!" I add.

"Okay," Daddy says laughing, "We will have to see what they have for frosting."

"Daddy?"

"Yeah, sweetheart?" Daddy says looking down at me.

"When's mommy coming back home?" I ask quietly.

We stop, Daddy gets down on his knees in front of my and grabs my arms, "I don't know honey, but I love you and I promise mommy will come back. Come here." Daddy pulls me in for a hug. "You know I love you right Lee Lee?" Daddy asks me.

"Yes, daddy."

"Alright, why don't we go get you that cupcake now?" Daddy says flicking the tip of my nose with his finger and then he stands and grabs my hand.

Alright, so I apologize for this chapter being on the shorter side. I decided just to keep it short and sweet. Also, I tried something new and I wrote form a different POV and in first person. It's the first time I've ever done that so please let me know what you think is a review! This story is literally my pride and joy and by far one of my favorite ones to continue with. Also, I will not be updating any stories this weekend due to I am going out of town. Hopefully all of the will be updated by Thursday of Friday night. PLEASE READ & REVIEW!
