Someone Special-Braddison

Chapter 25

Addison Pov:

I woke up from my nap alone. This was rare as generally, when I took a nap nowadays, Bryce would lay with me to make sure I was comfortable. I grabbed my water from the bedside table and began to drink it. As soon as I set it down, I got up slowly and started the shower. I looked in the mirror and realized how dead I looked in the mirror. I threw my hair up in a quick bun and then allowed the hot water to hit my body. I allowed myself to enjoy the shower to the fullest as I knew I didn't know what my dad would say.  As I finished my shower, I wrapped myself in my towel and began to lotion myself up. As I was doing this, I heard a knock on the bathroom door. 

A: Come in

Bryce walked in with a smile on his face as he stared at me. He grabbed the lotion and began to lotion the parts I hadn't got to. When he was done, he pulled me into a slow kiss. Once we pulled away, he smiled at me. I got up from where I was sitting and decided to put my hair in a slick back braid. When I walked out of the bathroom, Bryce was sitting on the bed. I decided to go grab some clothes, and then I got changed. As I was finished, I sat on the bed next to Bryce to put my shoes on. 

B: So you ready for dinner with your dad?

A: You're not coming, are you?

B: Angel, I would love to, and I'm not trying to make you do this on your own, but I want to make dinner for my mom and spend some time with her. She's been really helpful lately, and she still grieving my dad, so I just want to take this time for us, you know?

I began to rub Bryce's cheek as he spoke more and more. I understood exactly what he was saying because he loved his mom more than anything. And he always tried to show her how appreciative he was of her, even in the hardest moments. And because of the way he was not only with his mom but with his dad when he was here. I would hope that our child would gain those parts of him. 

B: Angel, are you okay with that?

A: Ya, I am sorry. I just thought that I hope our kids think of me the way you think of your parents. Because I just want to feel as special as you make your mom feel. I'll be fine. My dad may be mad, but he loves me. Plus, it's probably better you aren't going because then he can't kill you. And when he does, he would have cooled down by then. 

I got up from the bed, and Bryce grabbed my wrist as if he was scared for me to leave permanently. But I wasn't going anywhere anytime soon, and I knew I needed to leave now before I chickened out on the dinner. 

A: I'm just leaving for dinner. But, I'll be back, buttercup, because this is my home.

I carefully grabbed his hand and placed his hand on my stomach. 

A: This is our home. And we are your family. But, I have to go with my family about our little one. While you make your mom feel special and appreciated. I love you, and we love you.

B: You need me to drive you guys?

A: We will be fine

I walked out of the room and walked out of the house to the car. As soon as I sat in my car, I felt the steering wheel and how nice it was to drive again. This was the first time I drove since finding out about my pregnancy.  As I drove, I played loud music and sang along to the songs. And for once in a long time, it felt like old times. Times before Bryce, a time where the only person I ever depended on was myself. It's crazy to think how dependent I've become, and this baby would teach me to be more independent as this baby would depend on Bryce and me. And I didn't want Bryce to have two people depending on him when we should be equals in this whole new project. As I pulled up to the house, I parked in the driveway as this was usually where there was only room. I got out of the car and knocked on the door. I was so scared to see my dad and decided I wouldn't tell him while we are eating dinner.
