Steph had her legs out as she painted them with the red nail paint in her hands. She had not had a nail paint on in months and had wanted to do something different. She felt the whole pregnancy had been making her cut back and stop doing a lot of things and she missed doing them. Mia would always question why she would rather paint her fingernails herself, than go to a professional nail artist but Steph always said it was one of her favorite past time.Her favorite tv show was on and she painted why she watched it. Steph kept her nails under her UV LED lamp. Her eye caught the time on her phone and she realized that it was almost 10pm.She had gotten back from work quiet early that day and had spent most of the time talking to Lucy and sitting on the couch watching friends.Lucy had retired to bed and she was left watching her series alone. Alex wasn’t back from work and the chef was also done for the day. Everywhere had been quiet except from the voices coming from the TV. As h

Steph heard a knock on her door, while she brushed her hair by the mirror in her room. She dropped the comb and walked up to the door. She wondered who it might be but figured that it was probably Lucy just trying to tell her breakfast was ready.Steph opened the door and she was met with Alex in front of it.“Hey,” She said.“How are you feeling now? Hope you’re much better?” He asked. Steph didn’t want him to care, to be so concerned about her. She wished things were the way they were before.“I am fine,” she responded. “Alright, just thought to check up on you,” he said.“Hope you ain’t going to work today? I can call them up for you if you want.”“That won’t be necessary,” Steph said. “Alright then, take care of yourself dear,” he said.Why was he using dear for her, she thought. Was she the one reading meanings to everything he did now or was he just different.Steph sat by the edge of her bed. She couldn’t seem to forget how she had felt the night before. She hoped it was just

Steph had decided to attend one of Georgia's classes today. She hadn't attended in a while and the last one had been really helpful to her. She arrived quiet early and the women were all still sitting down and class hadn't started.She looked around and realized that everyone was with their husband. She felt even worse and would have gone back home if not that the driver had to be somewhere. She wasn't comfortable at first, sitting and since there was no familiar faces and the person who had given her a mat the other day too wasn't there.She decided to eventually sit since she couldn't go back home and that was her only option.She dropped her stuffs close to her and sat on the vacant sit available."Hey," one of the ladies said. Steph hadn't initially realized that she was talking to her."I am Frida," the lady said and then Steph turned to the side realizing she was probably talking to her."Hello," Steph said back."We heard your husband is in the military, is that true?" Sh

“Are you ready to go?” Alex asked Steph who was sitting on the couch already dressed to leave. She had missed feelings about Alex going with her. She had always wanted him to but this time she wasn’t sure, also since she was trying to avoids being in same space as him. Steph stood from where she was sitting, closed the book she had been reading and picked up her bag. She adjusted her dress, which had moved up a bit due to her belly size now. Steph and Alex got into the car. The drive to the hospital was quiet and neither of them spoke. Steph didn’t know if it was the right time to bring up what Lucy had asked her to. She didn’t want to spoil the moment or trigger him to get angry at her. Steph turned to look out through the window that was rolled up. She didn’t want to look in his face, it was dreamy and she knew she would easily get lost in it. She wasn’t making any progress letting go of her feelings for him. With each passing day, she figured that she wanted him clo

Steph looked around the house, seeing all the beautiful decorations. They were too lovely and wanted to make her cry. She held it in and was just really happy. “It’s really beautiful right?” Lucy said and Steph nodded her head in agreement. Alex got into the living room also with the event planner.“Everything is ready, your guest should start arriving soon,” she said. “Thank you,” Alex said.The event planner went on to do other things leaving Alex and Steph alone.Steph turned to look at Alex.“Thank you to this,” She said.“It’s nothing,” he said.In a few minutes, all their friends started to arrive and the first to arrive was Mia.“I got this for you,” She said, handing over a gift to Steph.“You didn’t have to,” She said with a smile.“I wanted to,” Mia replied.Oliver came up to Mia and Steph while they had been talking.Steph pulled him in for a hug. “I am glad you could make it.”“I wouldn’t miss it for anything. I told you I would be here,” Oliver said and Steph smiled.
