Chapter 318
I smiled and nodded. We rarely got to have days like this so when they came about, I grabbed them with both hands. Jake was always busy, always working on something.
I pushed the covers back and moved over. Like always he lifted me, so I was resting on him my head against his chest.
“But I’m still watching the vampire diaries”. I snuggled closer to his chest and smiled when he kissed the top of my head.
I tried my hardest to keep my eyes open. I could feel them growing heavy with every minute that passed. I was comfortable, relaxed and for the first time today I didn’t feel sick.
A sigh fell from his lips as he placed another kiss on the top of my head. I had a feeling something was bothering him. Jake didn’t share much about his feelings and most of the time I had to pry them out of him which almost always ended in an argument. He was too tough to talk about his feelings.
“What’s wrong?”. I asked lifting myself up so I could see his face. He might not like to share how he was feeling or what was going on in his head but sometimes his face gave it away.
“We’re having a baby p>
“I know p>
“I’m going to be a dad p>
“Yeah”. I whispered.
Was he trying to tell me something?
Was he having second thoughts because it was a little too late for that. I chewed the inside of my cheek as my heartbeat quickened. Did he not want this anymore?
“Hey”. He reached out placing his hand under my chin our eyes connecting. “Whatever you’re thinking stop. I’m happy baby, I’ve finally got everything I ever wanted p>
“Sometimes I can’t tell what you’re thinking or how you’re feeling, and it terrifies me”. I could feel the lump form in my throat. Of course, my emotions were getting the better of me. I had no control over them right now.
My body was changing due to the pregnancy. My emotions, my hormones were up and down. I was happy one minute and sobbing the next. Everything was heightened and I hated that I couldn’t seem to come to terms with it. “I’m here Leah, I’m in this with you p>
I knew he was, but I needed to hear him say it.
“So, no second thoughts?”. I was overthinking everything again. I hated the way my mind worked. The pressure of always worrying about something or someone.
“Never”. He whispered. “Now come here p>
I fell asleep and when I woke it was dark outside. Jake was no longer beside me, but I could hear voices downstairs. I felt much better, no longer feeling sick but I was starving.
My stomach growled as I pushed the covers off and got out of bed. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. I wonder if he was talking to my Aunt Claire. Heading downstairs I made a face when I entered the kitchen.
Jake wasn’t home but my Aunt Claire was here with Carter.
“Where’s Jake?”. I asked.
“Nice to see you too”. Carter smiled. “I’ve made you some tea. Hopefully it makes you feel better p>
“I’m fine p>
“He’s out doing a patrol with Alanna. He said he won’t be long p>
“Have you sorted things yet?”. I took the tea from him and sat at the table. My Aunt Claire wasn’t saying much, her head buried in her phone.
“We’re fine p>
I didn’t believe that, but I said nothing. After all it was none of my business. I had enough to deal with without worrying about everyone else. From now on it was me, Jake and our baby.
