H&J Lockdown

54

"Jo quit lifting my shit." My friend yells at me from her bedroom as I move around some of her boxes from her living room to her kitchen. She moved into her new apartment weeks ago but nothing is unpacked besides the essentials.

I decided to finish out my trip staying in her guest room but now I wish I was back in the hotel room because all I want to do is organize her apartment.

"Shut up, I'm nesting." I fire back, needing to organize something.

"You need to get your ass back to London so you can nest there," She tells me as she storms into the room and rips the box from my hands. "I was given very specific instructions from your baby daddy that you needed to take it easy until you leave in a couple days."

I gasp, "I told you, I am not speaking to the baby daddy."

"Yes. But you never said I couldn't speak to him." She challenges.

"I thought it was implied." I snap. Going over to her couch I throw myself down on it and cover my eyes with my hands.

"He misses you babe, you need to give him a break. You know if he DMs me he is desperate. " She teases.

"He had a fit because I went to dinner with a friend when he always hangs out with his friends." I point out.

Annoyed by her taking his side I consider getting up and going for a walk but as soon as I lift up a little my belly drags me back down so I stay put.

"I'm totally always on your side..." She starts," But he was worried about you being exposed because the friend you met up with had been traveling days earlier."

"Ha, he never takes precautions unless I'm with him."

"Because your pregnant!" She points out. "Look, I know hes bossy and a little controlling but so are you! Stop acting like you don't like it."

"I'm not that controlling." I say sarcastically, knowing shes right.

That makes her laugh but were interrupted when her phone starts ringing in the other room. "I'll be back, thats my agent calling me back."

After lifting up multiple times and falling back I finally get enough momentum and lift myself off of the couch. Going into the spare room I am staying in I close the door and settle on the bed with my phone.

Checking the time in London I see that Hero will probably be working so I decide not to call him. I read through all the texts he sent me while I have ignored him for the last two days and just then Baby J decides to start moving like crazy. I like to think she can sense me thinking about her daddy and that she misses him just as much as I do.

Lifting up my shirt I video my stomach moving and send it to Hero, telling him we miss him and to call me when he is off work. I am not about to apologize or admit to defeat but I love that he went through the trouble of DMing my best friend behind my back to check up on me.

I try to rest while I wait for him to call me but knowing there is a mess outside my door leaves me unable to sleep. The only relief I get is knowing that soon I will be boarding that flight back to London, back to the man I love and will be able to finish getting our home ready for baby J.
