Everything We Wanted

-38- ✅

(Aleah's POV)
Despite it being November, the sun still beat down hard in LA. My hair up in a loose bun as a few curly strands sat on the side of my head. I was outside in our backyard working on my little flower garden, it wasn't much yet but I was excited for it. I was dressed in a pair of overalls that I didn't care about getting dirty, yellow gloves on my hands to keep dirt out of my nails.

I probably shouldn't be out here in this heat but I wanted to do something else instead of sitting in that house all day. Claudia was helping me considering she was a literal plant enthusiast. She went inside for a minute, coming out with a glass of cold water for me making sure I stayed hydrated.

"Hey girl. So how's it going?" She asked. Letting herself flop down on the small couch we had accompanying our backyard. I let out a heavy breath as I let myself plop down beside her.

"Pretty good I think. I just gotta plant the seedlings and water them."

"You also have to feed them don't forget that." She said to me. Making me cock and eyebrow at her in question.

"Feed them?" I asked in obvious confusion. Causing a small giggle from Claudia.

"Yeah you know they have to be fertilized, weeded from time to time and mulched."

I was so glad I had her here to help me. She agreed to help me take care of it for the first few months until I get the hang of it. Billie as well.

"Hey um I don't know if this is my place but I heard you up last night? You okay? Nothing like happened did it?"

I was hoping she wouldn't bring that up. I couldn't really stay asleep considering it felt like I was having contractions. Very slight ones but that's what it felt like.

"Yeah I'm okay. Just had to pee like 20 thousand times." I laughed it off hoping she would drop the subject. I didn't wanna go to the hospital unless my water breaks. Which it hasn't yet so I should be fine. Plus I'm not due for another 2 weeks.

"Okay, but just know you can totally wake me up if something happens."
I nodded my head as I smiled lightly. Thankfully I got a text from Billie pulling me away from the conversation.

Before I even had the chance to press the video button, her little face was already lighting up my screen. A smile spread across my face as I answered.

"Hey baby."

"Hello my darling. How are you doing mama?"

"I'm okay but I think Claudia over here is dying of heat exhaustion." I turned the camera to her as she dramatically put a hand to her forehead.

"It's like a hundred degrees!" She said dramatically.

"Claudia it's LA when is it not a hundred degrees?" Billie laughed making both of us join in.
