Steph looked down through her balcony has she watched Alex work out. She wondered why he didn’t use the gym in the house instead but then she was glad she had the view.

She watched has he exercised his biceps and muscles, he was shirtless, making his parks even more visible. He has a nice body” she had thought to herself.

It was the weekend and she had sat holding the book she had just purchased at the mall the other day. It was titled “101 guide to motherhood” and even though she had read almost half of the book, she wasn’t getting the point. There was so much talk and she knew it wouldn’t be that easy.

She decided to finish the book regardless. She had bought 3 other of such books hoping they would at least prepare her for what is to come.

    Steph got ready for her first day to visit the hospital. She hadn’t had time in a while and had been postponing going for the scan. Although that’s what she tells herself, she was just really anxious. Anything that concerned the baby, she always didn’t know how to act. Steph sat at the dining table and the chef served her toasts. “Has he gone to work?” Steph said, turning to face Lucy who was sitting opposite her. She had made it a tradition to eat with Lucy and even Lucy was starting to get used to it. “I think he leaves in a few,” Lucy replied.Steph never knew how his schedule was like. They never really talked about what either of them did and they were living their separate lives in the same house. “Alright, thank you.”Steph never really asked if Alex was going to eat with them anymore. She had initially tried but he had refused twice saying he was more comfortable eating in his room. Alex came down few minutes after and as then he walked out towards them. “G

    Alex brought out some clothes from his closet. He had been wondering what to wear to the date he had. He brought out two of his polos on his bed. He picked the two polos and walked downstairs to go and meet Lucy. He always went to her anytime he needed something like that. He had set up a date with a girl and even though he was skeptical about it, he loved to go out and wouldn’t miss a chance to. “Hey Lucy,” Alex said, seeing Lucy sitting outside in the varanda.“Alex,” Lucy said facing him. She dropped the knitted sweater she was doing. That was what she loved to do. Most days there was really nothing to do at home and she just spent her time knitting. “This or this?” Alex asked, putting up the two shirts. “I can’t seem to decide.”Lucy would have actually answered the question like she always does but that day, she had another idea.“Why not ask Steph. She knows quiet a lot about fashion,” Lucy said with a smile.“I don’t know about that,” Alex said. He and Steph didn’t rea

    Steph woke up quiet early in the morning the next day. She had trouble sleeping and had woken up several times at night. She had also thrown up a bit at night but was feeling much better in the morning. She had thought she wasn’t going to go to work the next day but she felt better. She went into the bathroom and had a quick shower. She put on her black pants and nude shirt. Packing her hair behind and holding it with a hair packer. She applied a little powder, used a little lip gloss and was ready to go.She came out of her room and saw a girl coming out of Alex’s room. She figured it was probably the same girl she met the night before. The girl was wearing the same clothes she had seen on her the night before. A short brown dress. Her hair looked messy and it was evident that she didn’t do any combing in the morning.“Hey,” She said to Steph before going down the stairs.“Good morning,” Steph replied.Steph went down behind her and watched her open the main door to leave.

She didn't want to be looking like she was wearing something that wasn't her size.Steph looked through her closet but found nothing. She always mostly wore pants and sometimes gowns. She had no maternity gown and she had been hoping to go shopping for it today with her sister. Steph sighted a gown by the side of her closet. She pulled it out. The gown had flower patterns all around and she had even forgotten that she ever had it. She remembered she and Mia had bought it impulsively one day they went to the beach.She put the gown on and went to the mirror to see how she was looking.
