Chapter: Chapter 41It was no surprise when we got to the restaurant later that night that the entire place was booked out for just us. When we walked in, the wait staff took our coats and led us to the back of the restaurant where there was a view of downtown out the window. Will and I were the last ones to arrive. Sitting at the table were no other than Jared and Megan, Will’s dad, Tim and to my shock- Avery! She must have realized that her presence was a surprise so she got up quickly from her seat to rush over and give me a hug. It was definitely too long this time.. definitely considering that SO much has happened since the last time I had seen her. “How long are you in town?!” I asked her excitedly. “Only tonight actually. I have a guest lecture that I leave early in the morning for… my flight leaves at 3 in the morning so I’m staying at the airport.” I was so excited to see her, even if it was just going to be for a couple hours. Next to stand up was Tim. “I guess since I surprised you with A

Chapter: Chapter 38The next morning I realized Will had never stopped in after he was down at the hospital. I looked at my phone, but there weren’t any messages. I felt a thousand times better this morning. I walked over to the bathroom to brush my teeth and whatnot and walked back to my room to change. I had an appointment I had to get ready for today. After getting myself ready I walked out to the kitchen. I was really in the mood for cereal this morning, which was super odd for me, but went with it anyways. When I turned the wall to my kitchen, there was Jared. I jumped. I didn’t realize he had stayed the night. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. Will text me last night and said he wouldn’t be able to take your to your appointment today, so I should stay to keep an eye on you.” I wasn’t sure if I was more mad at Will for texting Jared instead of me, or that he told him he should stay. “I promise you that I slept on the couch.” Jared said seeing that I was upset. “I was planning on staying un

Chapter: Chapter 40Will and I did not waste any time. The next morning we started going to open houses in the area. Considering my hefty inheritance, we really didn’t need to be approved for a mortgage. Will obviously had a lot of money saved from working and he had a trust his dad had given him when he turned 25, which he didn’t touch at all yet. So we could look at anything we wanted. I wanted a three bedroom but Will wanted something bigger. He never said it out loud, but I could tell that he wanted kids… a few at least. I wasn’t sure if I was ready for more beyond this one just yet. Since I wasn’t allowed back at work yet, I decided I would kind of make this my priority over the next couple days. I would check out each property I loved and write a pro and con list to each one. I already found a spare binder to organize from my favorite down. As I put in the last listing into the binder, I realized how ridiculous I was. I was going stir crazy not being at work. That’s when I got a phone call from t

Chapter: Chapter 39Will and I both woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. It was Glenn. “Will, are you coming back to the hospital? Sarah is really hoping that you will help her with her session today.” I could hear him say through the phone. “Also, have you talked to Becca? I haven’t heard anything and wanted to make sure she was okay.” Will grinned. “She’s right here dad. She’s doing fine.” “I’m sorry. Did I wake you guys?”“No worries Dad. We needed to get up anyways.” It was definitely the truth. We both slept way longer than we meant to. “Can you tell Glenn that I send my paperwork in today?” Glenn must have heard me because before Will could say anything back to me, or to him he was scolding me.“Will, I told her that work is the last thing she needs to focus on right now. She needs to take a week or two and rest. We will talk about work when I am ready to.” Will chose not to repeat his dad back at me since he knew I heard him through the phone. I shifted to the edge of the bed. I reall

Chapter: Chapter 37I woke up groggy in a hospital bed. “Wait. I thought I was here for Sarah..” I thought to myself. I looked at myself. I was in a gown. I had an IV in one arm and a blood pressure cuff on the other. Will was sitting on one side of my bed… and Jared on the other. “Wait. Did I just see Jared. No. It can’t be.” I was still thinking to myself. “The baby. Oh no.” That’s when the monitor started beeping and both men realized I was awake. Jared yelled for a nurse. “Becca, calm down. Everything is okay.” Will’s words alleviated some of my stress. He grabbed my hand and gently touched my face, trying to comfort me. Jared had found a nurse and they came into the room. “Alright honey. The doctor will stop in in a little bit to explain more in detail, but you have high blood pressure. Has your OB mentioned it to you at all?”“They were watching it, but nothing was said or done about it.” I was still a little out of it. “Okay, well we have you started on an IV dose to help get that pressure

Chapter: Chapter 36I wash just washing my hair as Will stepped into the shower behind me. He wrapped his arms around my pregnant belly and kissed my shoulder. I couldn’t believe how madly in love I was with this man after only a short few months. I grabbed his arms with my arms and held on tight. This feeling was one I wanted to soak up. I’ve never felt so loved and so safe in someone’s arms. Soapy hair and all, I turned around to face Will. His eyes were gleaming with happiness and love. I wanted to stay in that shower all day. Then my stomach let out a super loud growl. Will started to laugh. I just realized how hungry I really was. “I will get you something as soon as we finish in the shower and make our way back to the hospital.” Will said as he moved a strand of soapy hair away from my eyes. I honestly had almost forgotten about going back to the hospital. “I guess really great sex can screw with your mind too.” I thought to myself. We both finished up in the shower rather quickly to make sure w
