Chapter 12

"What time are you meeting Steffy?" Wyatt asks. I started staying at Wyatt a few days ago. He hounded me again about coming to stay with him at least until I found another place to make a home. I didn't want to at first, but I needed a place outside of a hotel for my girls to come to when they visited.

"She actually wanted to meet me here, and go together."

"I am kind of surprised," Wyatt said. "With everything you have told me, she seems to be trying hard to keep her distance from you."

I nod. "I know, I don't know really what is going through her head, honestly. I am surprised by this."

I am not lying; I really don't know what's going on in that beautiful head of hers. She is driving me nuts.

I have filled in Wyatt on most of everything that gone on in the past week or so, breaking up with Hope, my declaration of love to Steffy and my plans to win her back, to the show down I had with Brooke. I did conveniently leave out the part of what happened after Brooke left Steffy's office.

Steffy's been mum on it as well. I haven't heard from her since I left her office on the day we almost made love again. I received a few text messages from her yesterday regarding the ultrasound appointment today. She wanted to meet here and go together, which is fine by me. I've been craving to get alone time with her. I just wanted time with her, where we could relax, enjoy each other's company and remember who we are together. Those quiet, yet fun moments are one of the things that I miss the most. They were so intimate and special.

A minute later there is a knock on the door. I grab my jacket, before heading to the door. Wyatt opens the door.

"Hi Steffy," he says, opening the door further so she can step inside.

"Hi Wyatt," she smiles at him. "How is everything?"

"Everything is good. By the way congratulations! This is the first time I've seen you since Liam told me that you were pregnant." Wyatt looks over at my slyly before looking back at Steffy. "Liam is so happy over this baby. He's constantly walking around here with a big goofy smile.

"Dude, really!"

Steffy laughs. She looks over at me and gives me a half smile, kind of lightening up the mood a bit. "I know how much this baby means to Liam."

I break the awkwardness. "Are you ready to go? We don't want to be late to see Little Bean."

"Little Bean?" Wyatt asks unsure.

"It's the baby's nickname," Steffy answers Wyatt's obvious silent question.

"Oh, that's so cute," he sarcastically jokes.

"You are an idiot, Wyatt." I say rolling my eyes at him, before turning back towards Steffy. "Let's go."

I shut the door behind us and lead Steffy down the steps to the driveway. "So, I'll meet you over there," I say standing in front of my car door.

"Come with me, Liam."

I don't argue, but walk over to the passenger side door to her car. I am a bit surprised that Finn isn't here, but I don't push it or ask. Personally, I am happy that he isn't here.

"This just makes more sense," she says buckling herself in, before starting up the car.

We ride in awkward silence for a few minutes. The tension between us could be felt miles away. I knew we both had the same thing on our minds, but neither one of us had the courage at the moment to bring it up.
