If Kisses Should Win

Part nine

It has been a couple weeks since Elliot and I's "fight". That day I came to a relization that I was making a huge deal over something that I had no business meddling in. I haven't brought it up to Elliot that I know about the car crash but I don't want to.
We haven't fought since that day and we actually are starting to form some sort of relationship. Wether it is a friendship or a romance I honestly don't care. I'm actually...happy. He's kind to me. All of my past relationships have been duds. All they want is sex. Never anything emotional.
But then there's Elliot. He has been taking off more and more days at work so he can be with me. We even have a date planned for tonight!
I'm about 4 and a half months along with the baby which means that I have started the second trimester. Considering how small I am my bump is actually quite noticeable. I haven't bought any maternity clothing so all of my shirts are a bit tight which makes the bump that much more noticeable. I didn't notice until Elliot pointed it out but he says every time I look at my bump that I smile great huge big. That's good right? That means I really love my baby.
Despite all the good that is happening with Elliot nothing good is happening with Tyler. I mean he's my best friend but we made out. Did I mention that my other best friend is his goddamn fiancé?! I love them both so much but Tyler won't let me tell Cate so that is pushing a wedge between us. I tell Cate everything. She's the one I go to to vent out literally anything! But I can't...because if I got near her I'll inevitably tell her and Tyler made me promise that I wouldn't. I haven't even told them about the baby yet. I would like to tell my best friends that I'm having a baby. A BABY! Their niece or nephew!
I wandered around Elliot's apartment overthinking about every little thing. He told me to stay here as long as I would like. I've only spent a couple days here so far but it's nice. Like a maid comes and cleans his house nice. I was freaked when she walked in the first time. I was still sleeping when she came in and started to vacuum the entire house. She opened the door to the bedroom and vacuumed as if I wasn't there. I was honestly terrified. I called Elliot about it and he laughed and said and I quote "That's just Darla." Then hung up the phone.
Other than that fiasco it has been quiet. We have a date planned later tonight so I decided to go look for something to wear. This is where I found out that I only had a couple changes of clothes at Elliot's.
I gathered a few things like my phone and wallet and headed out. As I stepped out onto the concrete the wind hit me in the face. I pulled my coat up around my face and started to walk to the bus stop.
Yes,  Elliot has another car but I hate bothering him about it and...I'm a really bad driver. He doesn't let me drive unless he is with me.
I stood underneath the small 3 wall building. I should have just ordered a cab or an Uber. It'a fucking freezing out. I guess it is January.
The bus pulled up and opened the door. I stepped inside the older driver giving me a warm smile.
"Cold out isn't it!" I smiled and nodded.
"It really is!" I walked back trying to find an empty seat. For only being four months pregnant my feet and back are killing me. The bus was packed full and there wasn't any available seat. I saw an opening at the bar that ran down the center of the bus. I reached it and held on. I have to stay on here for 20 minutes to get to my stop. I really should have just got a cab.
About 10 minutes in the bus was still packed full of people. I was constantly being pushed around. The men on either side of me where huge. I'm not that tall and quite thin so every time the bus went over a bump I was josseled around hitting into them having to apologize countless times.
BUMP! I swayed and hit the man on my left again.
"Sorry-"
"JESUS! Can you stop hitting me?!" He shouted. I was taken back by his yelling.
"Look, I'm sorry I don't mean to hit you."
BUMP!
I fell forward right into his chest.
"GET OFF!" He shoved me away. I tried to catch myself but I lost my footing falling to the ground on my stomach.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! HES PREGNANT YOU MORON!" I wasn't sure who was yelling the voice didn't sound familiar. I was helped up by the man that was on my right.
"Are you alright?" I clutched onto my stomach. An older women who was sitting had moved.
"Here sweetheart, please sit down." Her and the other man helped me sit down. I still had a tight grip on my stomach. Tears started to form.
"Will my baby me ok?" I choked out. The older women placed her hand on my bump.
"How far along are you?"
"Around 4 months." Tears started to roll down my cheeks. I saw the older womens jaw clench and she turned around to the man who had pushed me.
"Look what you have done!"
SLAP!
My eyes widened. She slapped him?!
"Apologize. Then you are going to personally make sure he gets to the hospital."
The man went to talk back but the older women shushed him. She turned back to me.
"Do you have a partner sweetie?" I nodded.
"Ok how about you give him a call and tell him to meet you at..." she looked out the window.
"Baxter Hospital. It's just about 2 blocks from here." The bus stopped.
"Help him up!" She talked to the man that pushed me.
"Walk him to the hospital and stay with him until his partner arrives. Got it!" She pointed a finger at him.
"Fine...whatever." He helped me up and off the bus. As the bus pulled away I could see the older women stareing out the window at us.
"You don't have to help me." I pulled myself out of his grip on my arm. I started to walk to the hospital.
Please be ok please be ok.
"Stop! I'll help you. I needed to get off here anyway." He tried to help me walk again.
"Quit! I pulled my phone out from my pocket and dialed Elliot's number.
"Hey Elli"
"Dex...are you ok? What wrong with your voice?!"
"Listen you have to stay calm."
"Ok...what happened?"
"Can you come to Baxter Hospital?"
"WHY ARE YOU IN THE HOSPITAL?!" I heard rustling then running.
"I'm ok...the baby..."
"THE BABY?! OH MY FUCK! IM ON MY WAY!!" I hung up the phone and looked over at that guy.
"You can leave now." I started to walk again.
"Wait I'll come with you!" I waved him off and continued to walk. I got there before Elliot and told the nurse at the desk about what happened. That man was still following me as well.
"Go away." The nurse led me to a bed and closed the curtain around it.
"The doctor will be here soon. You are lucky today is a slow day."
"DEX!?" Finally Elliot is here.
"Over here!" I heard running and the curtain flew open.
"Oh Dex! Are you ok? How is the baby?!" I placed my hand on his that was laid on my stomach.
"The doctor hasn't came yet." He shook his head but the worry in his eyes made me feel...happy? Was I happy because he was worried about me and the baby?
"Who are you?" Shit is that guy still here?!
