I found it almost impossible to sleep snuggled up close to Seth. It had been two weeks since I had found out I was pregnant and Seth showed up out of nowhere tonight. I mean not that I was complaining, I had been happy that he had been in Vegas and decided to make an unplanned trip to see me since he was so close.
When he showed up at my door I just knew he was here to confront me. He had told me he would be in Vegas for a couple of days and we had talked about trying to meet up but neither of our schedules could fit it in. I guess he found time.
Now here I was my head laid on his chest, our bodies side by side, and I was feeling super guilty. Brooke had stopped trying to persuade me into telling him but I could still hear her voice in my head. My first doctors' appointment was in the morning. Should I tell him? Maybe him showing up tonight as a sign.
Staying still was proving impossible. I moved my legs trying not to wake Seth. For a moment I had thought I had
As my phone began ringing again and his name flashed in front of me I knew without a doubt that he had indeed heard me. I didn't want to answer, this wasn't how this was supposed to happen. I knew if I ignored him he would be pissed, but I also knew I wasn't ready to talk to him. I let out a breath as my phone went silent to only jump at the sound of my text. Opening it up I read "KENNEDY CLAIRE ROGERS PICK UP THIS GOD DAMN PHONE RIGHT NOW!It began ringing again and I picked it up, he didn't even give me time to say hello before he began. "What the fuck did you just say?"I swallowed wondering if I could lie. He again didn't give me time to speak, "is it true? How long have you known?"I looked down, "today."He laughed, "today you found out TODAY."I sighed, "ok no, I found out two weeks ago but I went to the doctor yesterday and...."I had to pull the phone from my ear as he started in, "and you didn't think I needed to know any
My decision to move back to Miami was an easy one, I wanted Seth, and if that's what it took that's what I would do. I would have preferred to be able to remain in LA until I knew how things were going to work out but sometimes you had to sacrifice to get what you wanted. This was a huge sacrifice for me. I had sworn to myself when we first started talking again I wouldn't do the exact thing I was doing now.We had talked forever that night. My moving wouldn't be as easy as my other moves. I had a lease on my condo that I couldn't break, I had mandatory office meetings that I had to attend, and Brooke how the hell was I going to tell her. Seth was taking care of the condo for me and paying out the rest of my lease. My job however proved to be a bigger problem than I had anticipated. I had planned on keeping it and flying in when I had to attend a meeting, Camilla already had approved me to conference in on some of them so I didn't think it would be that big of a deal.
The closer I got to Seth's jet the better I began to feel. I took the steps up a little disappointed he wasn't waiting for me but the minute I saw him and his goofy ass grin I couldn't help but grin back up at him. He stood up pulling me into his arms, "its about time you gave in."I looked up at him frowning as I took a seat, "whatever, you're going to be begging me to leave in a week."His hands skimmed over my belly and I felt chills, "I doubt it."We both looked up as Seth's assistant boarded the plane and let us know we would be taking off in about ten minutes. He nodded leaning back as he looked over at me, "when we land I have to run somewhere for a couple of hours but then I should be yours all weekend."I nodded yawning, "you're good. I just want to sleep."Grabbing my hand Seth looked over at me, "so how have you been feeling."Looking down I smiled giving his hand a soft squeeze, "I'm better now."He grinned at me, "I know
My first week back in Miami had seemed to fly by. I had unpacking to do, shopping for necessities for both myself and the house, and just getting back on a schedule. The time change was no bitch either and being pregnant only made it seem worse.I still had another week to go before my next doctors' appointment so I mostly trolled Pinterest looking for nursery room ideas. Today was no different, I was sat downstairs on the couch covered with a blanket looking at my phone when Seth came in slamming doors. Sighing I looked over my shoulder to see him throw his keys down on the counter, "what's your problem?" I asked as he walked into the living area.He shook his head pulling off his baseball cap as he made his way up the stairs, "I don't have any problems that I can't handle."Frowning at him I closed my eyes. I really didn't have time for any kind of drama right now. I had eaten something for lunch that had made me sick and I still felt like crap. When he came b
When Seth had told me he needed to talk to me I automatically expected the worst and although what he had told me wasn't what I thought it still hurt just as bad. I looked up at him unable to form a complete sentence for several seconds, "what do you mean you don't want me to come to your birthday party?"Seth sat behind his desk watching me as if I was a tiger about to pounce, "I just don't think this is the best time."I narrowed my eyes at him, "so what now you're hiding me. I mean you are the one that begged me to move here and now you want to keep me some big secret."Seth closed his eyes sighing, "I'm not keeping you a secret Kennedy, it's just not the right time."Frowning at him I shook my head, if the words, "it's not the right time," left his lips again I would probably throw something at him, like a chair, a chair would do good. Seth looked at me wearily, "after your doctor's appointment tomorrow I'm flying out, if you want you can still come b
The morning of Seth's birthday he blew my phone up and I ignored him. I had spent most of the morning in the bed sleeping but finally got up and turned my phone completely off to not have to deal with him. After a quick bath, I found myself sitting Indian-style in the bed staring at the envelope sticking out of my purse. Lord knew I was impatient, I was not tempted to rip into it and take a peek.I had called Brooke and she had already planned for some of the girls to fly down so they could throw me a baby shower. Talking other helped me but my mind on other things and not worry about Seth. I wondered if it would be petty to not allow him to my baby shower/gender reveal. Sighing I knew I could last a week. I had wanted to have my baby shower back in our hometown so my friends could all be there but Brooke told me no that everyone wanted a reason to have to come to Florida.It wasn't until around 8 that night that I turned my phone back on. I had several missed ca
As excited as I was to see Seth in front of me I felt guilty that he had left just to make me happy. Wrapping my arms around him I closed my eyes inhaling his scent. "You shouldn't have come home. I'm sorry I tripped out."Seth shrugged as I let him go and I followed behind him as he entered the house. "It's over K, I'm home. I'm not mad. Are you good?"I nodded as he turned back to face me. "Yeah."Seth continues on upstairs so I followed behind him not talking. Walking into our bedroom I watched as Seth threw his bag in a chair before turning his attention back on me. "So what did you do while I was gone?"I made a face looking down, "slept. It's hard work creating your child."Seth laughed walking back up to me and pulling me in his arms. "So are you going to reward me for coming home early?"I shrugged laughing as he looked down at me. "I don't know, I just might," I said as I pushed him back against the bed.Seth grabbed my hands
Looking out the window for probably the millionth time I sighed. Brooke, Christine, and Erin were on their way here from the airport and I was super impatient. I don't know how Erin got mom to agree to let her come stay with me for a week, and I had my doubts if she even told them, but I was excited to see her the most. Seth was out of town doing a couple of appearances and wouldn't be back till Thursday, so it's was going to be just us girls.Seeing a black SUV put on its blinker I ran to the front door waiting even more impatiently than before. Seth wanted me to stay as low key as possible until he announced the baby, which according to him would be any day now. Hearing laughter I opened the door and was about knocked down by my sister plowing into me. "OMG Kennedy Claire you are freaking huge!"I gasped at her as Brooke and Christine started laughing, "no you're not...but there is no denying that you are pregnant," Brooke said placing her bag down. "So where i
