Odell

"Demi, you need to report him. The dude's fucked up" she sighed as she lowered herself onto the couch beside me.

"I have no proof though, Odell. They aren't going to believe anything without proof. If I went to the police, they'd just think I was a stupid teenager" I sighed, my fingers lightly tracing patterns on her bump. She's now 22 weeks pregnant and I'm home as it's spring break. I know that most teenagers want to spend spring break partying it up but I just want to spend it with my family. "I can't wait for you to feel them kick" I smiled as I lay my hand on her bump and kissed her temple.

"I don't want anything to happen to you both, Dem."

"I don't think he would do anything. Yeah, he's messed up but I don't think it's enough to do anything stupid" she turned to me, running her hand along my cheek. I smiled at her touch.

"He does like to pop up every now and then though."

"So, maybe I do have a stalker, but I still don't have proof, Odell, and until he does something, I won't" I sighed as I leant in to press a kiss to the corner of her lips causing her to smile. "I promise, I'll go to the police if anything does happen."

"Good, because I don't want to lose either of you" she delicately ran her fingers into my curls.

"You won't" she threw her leg over my lap and moved to straddle me. My hands settled on either side of her bump which I lightly caressed with my thumb. Her fingers continued to run through my curls and I lightly smiled as I stared up at her. "I love you" she leant down to press her forehead to mine.

"I love you too. I love you both" her lips tugged into a wide smile. I leant up to capture her lips into a soft and sweet kiss.

"I want some peanut butter" I lightly laughed as she pulled herself away from me.

"I don't think you have any peanut butter, Babe" she leant back on my legs and pouted. "Are you going to make me go out and get you some peanut butter?" she gasped and climbed off my lap. I furrowed my brows as she turned to me with an enormous smile. She giggled, her hands caressing her belly.

"Can we go for a drive to Walmart?"

"Baby, I can go and pick you up some peanut butter" she shook her head and reached out for my hand.

"I want a drive, and I'll probably want to buy more" I rolled my eyes as I pushed myself up from the couch. "I am starting to run out of ice cream anyway" I laughed as I leant to kiss her cheek.

"Come on then, Babe. I'll drive" she nodded. We slid on our shoes and then headed out to the car. My hand was sat on her thigh as I drove, her fingers tracing patterns on the back of it. The radio was playing quietly and I smiled as Demi quietly sang along to it. I kept stealing glances at her as I drove and every time that I did, I just seemed to fall harder for her. I didn't think that was even possible. I pulled into the parking lot of Walmart around 10 minutes later and I laughed at the excitement that seemed to radiate off Demi. "I don't think I've ever seen someone so excited to take a trip to Walmart" she lightly giggled as she unfastened her seatbelt.

"You can't beat a trip to Walmart" she winked over her shoulder before she climbed from the car. I climbed from the car behind her and walked around to her side. I slid my hand into hers and then guided her towards the entrance of the store. She grabbed a cart and I lightly laughed as I took the handle.

"How much are you planning to buy? I thought we only came for some peanut butter" her cheeks lightly blushed as she shrugged her shoulders. I leant to kiss her smile and then followed her around the store. I smiled as we headed into the clothes section and found our way to the baby clothes. We don't want to know the gender of our baby; we want it to be a surprise so we're aiming to get everything gender neutral. I have to admit that I like the gender neutral stuff better anyway.

"Oh my god, this is adorable. It has elephants on it" I lightly laughed as Demi pulled a grey and light green bodysuit off the shelf and held it out to me. "I could totally see our baby rocking this" I just seemed to laugh harder as she dropped it into the cart. My eyebrows raised as she glanced up at me. "What?"

"Nothing, Baby" she nibbled on her lower lip and then turned back to the shelves, continuing to gush about the baby clothes.

"Can we have an elephant themed nursery? Or zoo themed?"

"What room are we giving the baby?" I asked as Demi dropped a packet of socks into the cart.

"I was thinking the room opposite mine, obviously for the first couple of months they'll be sleeping in our room but..."

"Our room?" I cut into her sentence. She glanced to me and nodded with a wide smile.

"Yeah, I-I was kind of hoping you would move in."

"You want me to move in?" she nodded with a smile.

"I don't really want to be taking care of a baby by myself, I need someone to help with the night feeds and the diaper changes" I flashed her a wide smile and began to feel excited.

"I would love to move in with you, Dem" she squealed, catching the attention of the couple people around us. She locked her arms around me and I smiled widely as I hugged her. "I love you" she pulled away from me and nodded.

"I love you too" I pressed a kiss to her lips and then watched as she turned back to the baby clothes. I loved watching her as she gushed over the baby clothes, my eyes every so often dancing down to her belly that she subconsciously caressed.
