love overboard

11

Miranda and Ben were inside the furniture store as they were picking out a bed for Tuck.

"Do you think he might want bunk beds." Ben asked.

Miranda raised an eyebrow at him.

"When he gets to the point of going to school. He is going to want to have sleep overs " Ben said and Miranda nodded understanding.

"Ooh what about this one with the club house underneath and a pull out bed." Ben said excitedly.

"Ooh he would really like that. "Miranda said smiling

Ben talked to the sales guy as they ordered the bed. Picking a time for it to be delivered.

"Where are we going after this?" Miranda asked.

"To the grocery store to get you snacks and things to take to work."

"Okay, thank you babe" Miranda said rubbing her stomach out of habit.

"Sooo Miranda when are you going to get your clothes. I cleared out the left side of the dressers and your side in the closet." Ben asked.

"Well after what happen the other night. I don't even know." Miranda said combing her hands through her hair.

"I can go with you to help you pack. We can go get suitcases , boxes or what ever you need." Ben said seriously.

"We know what happened the last time you came Ben. This is something I have to do on my own. I need to have closure with him." Miranda said looking at Ben compassionately.

"Okay." Ben said looking over at her before starting the car. They went Inside of the store and bought grocery and other items for the house.

When they got back home Ben made Miranda her pregnancy snacks for the week and put them in the fridge.

Ben listened to Miranda as she talk to Tucker on the phone, explaining to him that she was coming to get all of her things.

After she hung up she blew out a breath.

"I'm going to get them this afternoon. He is going to be at work." Miranda said.

"Miranda are you sure you don't want me to come. You are pregnant and shouldn't be lifting anything heavy." Ben said

"I know okay how about this... I will go and pack everything up in boxes and I will call you when I'm done and you can carry them to the truck." Miranda compromised.

"Okay fine I will take that." Ben said.

Ben watched Miranda walk around in her sweat pants and she honestly never looked anymore beautiful.

Three years went by and Miranda walked into the house with her grocery bags.

"Mommy !" She heard her daughter call out and her little feet patter against the floor.

"Hey my Aubrey." Miranda said setting the groceries down on the kitchen counter.

Miranda scooped her up and pulled her into her arms. Kissing her on the head. "Ohhh mommy's big girl." Miranda said to her two year old.
