Brooke and I spent all day trying to decide the best way to tell Seth. We both thought it would be best just to get it out there. If he found out somehow from someone else it would be worse than me just coming out and telling him. Seth was big keeping his personal business as quiet as possible and if the media got news of my pregnancy before I could tell him it would turn into a whole deal.
I sat on the couch rubbing my imaginary belly as Brooke cooked us supper. The smell of grilled chicken fill
I would like to say that things with Seth and I magically began to work themselves out. That he had calmed down and had begun to understand. That however wasn't the case, we still talked nightly but there was an obvious wedge between us. It had been four weeks since I had told him I was pregnant and he had yet to find his way to my door.It had taken a week after the last fight for him to call me back and apologize for some of the stuff he had said. He had told me that I had caught him off guard. That was the only excuse he had ever given me. He never mentioned a DNA test again but I knew deep in my heart that he would ask for one again and I honestly couldn't blame him for doing it. I understood now why he wanted one.He had wanted to come to my doctor's visit that was later today but he had gotten roped into performing one last show to make up for one he had to cancel due to weather. I couldn't believe it was already August. Seth's summer tour would officially be ove
I awoke the next morning to the brutal glare of the sun. Seth was still asleep so I tried my best to be quiet as I got up out of bed. I didn't want to talk to him right now, in fact, I didn't want to talk to anyone. I just wanted to pretend that yesterday had never happened, that it was all just a dream.Walking in the bathroom I saw a girl looking back at me that more resembled a zombie than a human. My skin appeared to be an almost greyish in color, my eyes were cold showing no emotion whatsoever. Evidence of my night spent crying showed under my eyes. Turning the shower on mostly cold water I stepped in almost grateful for the shock the coldness gave me.Once out I brushed my hair up in its usual messy bun and changed into a pair of black leggings and the shirt that I had stolen from Seth all those nights ago. Sliding into my flip flops I headed down the hall to make some coffee. I needed to stick to my routine, of course being up at 7 am was nowhere in my routine.
Watching Seth walk out of my apartment door was hard. I'd seen him go before but this time things were different. This time I felt as if he was taking part of me with him, in a way he was, he was taking my heart with him. I halfway wanted to run behind him and tell him I changed my mind about coming but I refused to get in between him and his son.Walking to my room I paused as I saw my What to Expect When Expecting book. More or less shoving it into my dresser I sunk back into my bed and pulled the covers up around me. My phone dinged and I debated about even looking to see who it was.Curiosity got the better of me so I plucked my phone off the nightstand opening it up seeing it was Seth. I couldn't help the small grin that crossed my lips as I read, "miss you already." I replied back sending him a kissy face and telling him I missed him too.I didn't know what to do now that he was gone. I really didn't want to do anything but lay in bed and
My flight landed a little after 2 pm, grabbing my bags I headed out texting Seth to find out where he had parked. The moment I saw him I couldn't help the grin that popped on my face. He looked tired and I was sure having his son with him for a week wore his ass down. Walking up to him he took my bag throwing it in his trunk before pulling me into his arms.As he hugged me I buried my face into his chest inhaling his scent. I know it sounds cliche but I loved the smell of him, the combination of his cologne and weed was intoxicating. "I missed you," I said barely above a whisper.Seth looked down catching my lips, "you know all that you had to do was call and I would have flown you down."I nodded, "I know, I needed time." He looked at me with concern but I shrugged him off going to open my side of the car. He followed behind me opening his door and sliding in cranking the car. "Can we stop and get something to eat? I'm kind of hungry."Seth looked over a
After a month of arguments, disagreements, going back and forth about what I wanted to do I found myself telling Brooke bye. She had been prepared for my moving, more so than I was. I had been afraid that she would be upset even though she had warned me that Seth would ask but she had told me that her job had offered her a spot in California and the only reason she wasn't going to accept it was because she didn't want to leave me.Seth had hired people to pack and move my stuff so all I really had to worry about was packing a few days' worth of clothes. It shouldn't have been hard to decide what I needed immediately but it was. A lot of it was nerves, I didn't know how I felt about actually living with Seth. It was a big step, a big step that I didn't know if he was ready for. Part of me felt like he had only asked me to move in with him to try and make up for the way he had acted during my short-lived pregnancy. The other part had no clue what he was doing.Walking in
Living with Seth wasn't all that I had assumed it would be. For starters, I had been living with him for a month and he had only been home maybe 7 days of it. He had just made it home tonight and we were already into it. It had been an entire two days since I had heard a word from him and tonight he just came climbing in the bed thinking I was just going to roll over and bend to his will.I had already been in a bad mood. As much as I told myself I needed to I had never told my parents that I had moved in with Seth. TMZ broke that for me. Fucking jerks, their timing had been horrible. I don't know what else to say about them. I mean I hadn't even seen Seth for over a week when they show an old picture of us from that basketball game I had gone to with him and start talking about my moving to Florida to be with him.My mom hadn't taken the news well at all, and to be honest the more she talked the more I understood some of her frustration. She wasn't mad anymore about t
Seth had become super nice to me after that fight in his office, it was kinda annoying really. I had ended up agreeing to go with him to New Orleans even though I really didn't want to. Even now as I sat on the living room couch doing my work he was sitting beside me watching tv. I wanted to ask him to go somewhere else, to give me some space but he seemed to think that the more he was around me the less mad I would be at him.We had talked more that next day and it was clear that I didn't trust him as far as I could throw him but I also believed him when he said he was trying. Our fight only brought around sex and although amazing it solved nothing. Sex was his way of making up and hoping the problem went away on its own.Glancing at the time I sighed saving my work and setting my computer down on the coffee table in front of me. We had about an hour before we would have to leave for the airport and my bag wasn't even halfway packed, in fact, it was still sitting open i
The next morning I awoke with a groan as Seth rolled over me to grab his phone and hit snooze on his alarm. I was already regretting telling him I would go to the skate park with him. I mean yes, I wanted to see him skate, mostly so I could make fun of him, but I also wanted to sleep. I loved sleep almost more than I loved him.Snuggling into Seth's chest I tried my best to go back to sleep but his phone was soon blaring again. "Ugh, why do we have to be there so early."Seth laughed kissing my forehead, "It's not even that early, it's 9:30."I looked up at him, "exactly, I don't like to get up until 11."Seth shook his head at me as he sat up, "come with me to take a shower. I'll wake you up."Snorting I shook my head as I pulled the covers over my head, "don't you ever think of anything else?"Seth crawled over me getting out of bed, once up he reached down jerking the covers off of me, "come on baby girl get up or we will be late."
With Christmas behind us, the baby's due date was fast approaching. I was miserable now and Seth thought it was hilarious to bring up the fact that I seemed to wobble when I walked. If I thought I had been tired before I obviously didn't know tired.I had never put much thought or belief in the "nesting" stories I had heard friends talk about or read in books. But with two weeks before my due date, I found myself, going into full nesting mode. I organized and refolded or hung up all of the baby's clothes. Organized blankets by colors and patterns. Even the many boxes of diapers had been stacked in the closet by size all facing the same way.Seth had gone out of town for New Year's, he had asked me if I needed him to stay but I told him I would be fine without him and I was. I spent my time decorating rearranging or sleeping. My cravings were gone and now I had almost no appetite. I don't think my stomach had room for anything but the baby. Getting up and down was no easy
December was moving way too fast for my liking. I stood in front of a massive Christmas tree that hadn't been there the day before frowning. I wasn't ready for Christmas, I had no idea what to buy Seth. I mean it's not like he didn't already have every possible thing he could ever want. I had given his assistant a list of things to buy for my family and friends and now I wished that I would have just gone and bought it myself. It took the fun away from Christmas.I understood why Seth didn't want me walking around shopping though, I was huge pregnant and didn't have that much longer to go. Turning the corner to the kitchen I grabbed a cup of coffee and returned to stand back in front of the tree. It was pretty, just not my style, not that I would have told Seth that. I had no idea how I could have managed to sleep through the house being decorated. It was only 9:30 which was early as hell for me to be up. I preferred to sleep till 10:30 or 11.Walking down the hall I w
With the baby shower behind us, I could now appreciate it for what it was. I think my apprehension had been from the disaster of my previous gender reveal. I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulder and I could now worry about other matters, like spending Thanksgiving with Seth's mom. I had no real reason to worry about that but I didn't know what she thought about me yet.When the time came I was nowhere near ready. I had hoped my doctor would say I wasn't approved for travel but I wasn't so lucky. I knew I needed to be up packing my bags for our trip but I didn't want to get out of bed. I felt like I had just laid down. Seth his bags packed and ready before my feet even touched the ground. He arched his eyebrow at me, "you know if you would start going to bed earlier you wouldn't be so sleepy."I frowned at him, "if you would stay on your side of the bed I wouldn't be up all night."Seth threw my bag up on the bed as I made my way to the bathroom, I ign
At 30 weeks pregnant, I was already over the whole pregnancy thing. My belly was huge and it was hard for me to even get up out of bed anymore. I didn't know if I could go another 10 weeks. I was tired of the "are you sure there is only one baby in there jokes." I was tired of people thinking my stomach was an open invitation to feel for the baby. I was turning out to be grouchy as hell in my last trimesterAlthough nothing had been said I had a feeling the "dinner" Seth was wanting to take me on tonight was actually going to turn into a baby shower. I don't know how I knew but I just did, he had been asking too many questions about things I knew damn well he didn't care about.It wasn't that I didn't want a baby shower, I just didn't want one today. I didn't want to get up, I didn't want to get dressed, I just wanted to lay in bed and sleep. I felt like we had just had the gender reveal and that had turned out to be a huge mess. Brooke and I had cleared the air but things
It had been two weeks since Seth had come back from New York and I was already for him to go back out of town. He had tried to talk to me about what had happened and I had refused to listen. He told me repeatedly that nothing had happened and I told him to stop talking about it.He had been glued to my side. Today was my first time out of the house without him.I couldn't believe I was already 26 weeks but at the same time, I couldn't believe I was only 26 weeks. I felt like I had been pregnant forever. Seth had wanted to come with me but I snapped at him and told him I was more than capable of driving myself. I don't know if he finally realized I'd reached my melting point or if I had just shocked him by going left. I didn't know and didn't care, all I knew was I could finally breathe again.Don't get me wrong he still left and went to the studio, he just never stayed gone long. If he stayed gone more than a couple of hours he would call and if I ignored his call
My flight home had been miserable. I was tired and cranky, my flight had been delayed due to bad weather, and Seth and I had said our goodbyes in anger. Every time I felt better about our relationship something always came along to fuck it up. Was it a sign that we just weren't meant to be?Seth hadn't come back to the hotel till almost 5 am. I had never truly gone into a deep sleep so I heard him when he came into the room. I laid still listening for any signs of his movements or where he was. When the shower came on I grabbed my phone checking the time. I don't know exactly what made me do it but I got on Twitter and searched for Candace.It didn't take me long to find her. I felt my stomach drop and her last tweet, "when he has to leave your bed." It was short and there was no reason for me to think she was talking about Seth but I did. Pulling up Instagram I searched for her again, it was harder to find her but I did, she had the same damn thing posted there but wi
After Seth was gone I laid around most of the day, Brooke had called around lunch and I talked to her for a bit. We mostly talked about Dutch and his Twitter rant he was having for the day. I think she had realized that he still has some major growing up to do. The boy had no filter and no chill mode whatsoever.I ate a pretty basic lunch, a simple club sandwich, and fries had done the job. After googling restaurants I decided to try one called Republique, it was French and I had no idea if I would like it or not but I liked its picture. I figured Seth would veto it out if he didn't like it but when I text him he only responded with and ok.It was around two when Seth came back and I was still in the same exact spot I had been when he left. Walking in he shook his head, "looks like we will be flying out in the morning."I nodded at him as he sat down beside me, "that's fine with me, but what else?"I could see by the look on his face that he had more news
Going to the club when you are pregnant is absolutely no fun. You can't drink, the music aggravates you and the baby, and people stare at you. I hate when people stare at me. I feel as if they are judging me and guess what they are. Now I know being with Seth causes lots of stares and unwanted attention, but being with Seth pregnant in a club brings so much more.Do you think the extra attention bothers him? Do you think he even notices? That answer is a giant no, not until you point it out cause you are uncomfortable and he acts like it's just everyday life, and I guess for him it is.So here I sit at a table beside Seth who is clearly on another level contemplating ways to make him take me back to the hotel. The whole atmosphere just wasn't what I was feeling. I had tried to stay home but Seth put on his sad face and I found myself agreeing like an idiot. Why couldn't he have taken me out to eat, these boneless BBQ wings were good but not what the baby was craving. I h
The first night in LA We just chilled in the hotel which was fine with me. Most of the afternoon had been spent watching tv with a good majority of the time the tv watching Seth. It didn't really bother me, I had finally got my rest and for the first time in a while wasn't overly sleepy.When Seth did wake up he ran out and grabbed us some burgers and Cajun fries. He was in a playful mood and as much as he aggravated me I couldn't stay mad at him. It seemed that was usually the case between us. He constantly found new ways to aggravate me or piss me off but he could smile at me with his goofy ass grin and I found myself smiling right back at him. It drove me crazy but I loved him.The next morning he had left early, when I woke up I ordered breakfast and took a quick shower before it arrived. As I sat and ate I decided to give Brooke a call. She surprised me for picking up after only one ring. I grew a little suspicious when she told me she was in LA. I had thought for s
