It didn't take long for me to pack my bags. I had no clue what to bring so I just threw stuff in hoping that it would do. Seth helped me pack so my bag looked better than it would have if I had done it alone. He actually believed in folding things while I would have just shoved it all in and worried about the wrinkles it would make later.
When Seth got the call that his ride was outside I hugged Brooke bye one last time. I hated leaving her in a funky mood but she had promised that she would be o
After we ate Seth disappeared into his office. I went upstairs and grabbed my laptop sitting in the bed pulling up my weekly email. I was glad that my weekly work assignments were sent on Sunday, it would give me a chance to go ahead and start on my own work while Seth was busy doing God knew what downstairs.I groaned as I read we were having a flash sale this weekend. That meant I would have to temporarily close the site only to bring it back up for the allotted time, then turn back around and temporarily close it again. I would have to make sure when exactly I was flying home, if it was Friday I was going to be timing things perfectly.The workload I had kept me plenty busy, when I looked up I saw it was close to 7 o'clock. I had been working a good 4 hours non stop. Saving my work and submitting what I could for approval I clicked out of my program. Standing up I ran to the restroom, figures the moment I sat down my phone started ringing. Whoever it was would just
Seth ended up calling me around 5 telling me to get ready that we were going out to eat when he made it home. I wanted to ask him a million questions over the phone but I bit my tongue knowing then wasn't the time. I had no idea how nice I needed to dress, I had no idea where we were going so I hovered over my bag for what seemed like forever.I finally chose a black tunic dress that fell just above my knees, it was basic but could also be dressed up. I paired it with a multi-strand gold chain necklace, gold bangles, and a pair of gold sandals. I was in the middle of French braiding my hair when Seth walked into the room. I hadn't heard him come up the stairs so I jumped when the door opened.He walked up on me pulling me against him as he leaned down kissing me. "Is this too much., or not enough, or..."Seth shook his head, "no you look good."I nodded at him still unsure, he had disappeared in the bathroom and I heard the shower kick on. Walking over to
When I did wake up the next morning I was sick, sicker than I had been. I found myself hovering over the toilet throwing up and not even that seemed to be helping. I began to think that my being sick and tired all the time wasn't just some virus. Grabbing my phone I saw I was a few days late. That in itself wasn't a red flag, I had never had a normal cycle. The thought alone sent me back to the bathroom throwing up.Once my stomach had settled some I sat on the edge of the bed wondering how the hell I could get ahold of a pregnancy test. It wasn't like I was about to call up and Seth ask him to pick it up. I couldn't ask any of his people, and I don't think he would be hot on me taking a taxi to the store either. I didn't know what to do so I called Brooke."Hey honey, I'm so ready for you to be home."I nodded to myself, "Brooke I think I'm pregnant."She gasped, "you're still sick?"I bit my lip, "yeah I've been nauseous and throwing up all morni
Friday morning came too soon, I had set my alarm early to wake me up so I could get ready for the flash sale. As much as I didn't feel like rolling away from Seth's warm embrace I had to get up and get the sale started. Thankfully my system didn't give me a hard time as I temporarily closed down the page. I had things back up and running within fifteen minutes.Leaving my laptop open so I would get any notifications if something went down I crawled back in bed. Seth's arms went back around me and I couldn't help but to scoot closer to him and inhale his scent. I didn't want to leave him but all good things must come to an end and our time was done.I may or may not have sulked around as we packed our bags, the sale was going smoothly so I felt confident I could check in one last time at the airport and then again when I landed in New York. Seth was sitting on the edge of the bed watching me as I laced my black converse up. "You could have stayed here, I can change your f
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
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
