Under your skin
Feel my blood flow with yours
My heart beat with yours
Sharing this body as one
Save me as I save you
This skin holds enough room for two
Under my skin
I belong with you
As you belong with me

"I wish I wasn't doing this without you." I spoke into the phone.
"I know baby. I tried to see if I could make it down for the weekend but it didn't work out. I ain't happy about missing the shower either, I hope you know that." Xavier spoke softly.
"I know."
I propped my iPad up against the dresser and stepped back. Fixing my dress to show Xavier.
"How do I look?"
I watched the screen as he smiled. "You look gorgeous and glowing baby."
"Really? You like the dress?"
"Hell yea, you look like a goddess."
I blushed and sighed walking back towards the dresser.
"Carter said him and Makayla coming through."
"Really?" I asked in excitement. I hadn't seen them in a while.
"Yea. Since they not that far. Listen, I gotta go baby. But ima call you later during the baby shower okay?"
I pouted. "Okay."
"I love you mamas."
"I love you too."
I blew him a kiss and he sent me a wink before hanging up. I groaned to myself and rested my hands on my belly.
I had been back in Texas for a while now. Officially 8 months pregnant. And 100% missing Xavier.
He would be back in Texas on the first of March, but it felt like time was going too slow. My due date is estimated by March 16th, but Dr. Kyles feels like it could be sooner.
I've been doing absolutely nothing for the past couple weeks and I hated it. My dad wouldn't let me lift a foot, neither would Danny. He came back last week just to give Xavier some peace of mind. He's been worried sick about me, and he's been feeling worse about not being by my side.
But we were apart. That's just how things were. He had a lot to deal with when it came to school and the team. But I know he wished he could place all his focus on me.
Our Christmas was robbed because his team had a game. Then that horrible ordeal happened to him. We didn't bother to celebrate the new year.
Valentine's Day was tomorrow and we were gonna miss that too.
Is it weird that I wasn't upset? I don't know, I just don't see a reason to be mad. Life happens. You have to adjust.
And those are trivial things, holidays are small compared to the big picture that was about to happen.
