Being pregnant, scared and alone sounds like the worst case scenario right? Wrong. Worst case scenario is being pregnant, scared, alone AND homeless. Which is exactly what Leighton was. Having no idea what to do next, she sat against the wall, head...
Warning: This chapter jumps around a little bit, like changing scene wise, because it's deleted scenes from chapter 21, along with the deleted date night scene from deleted chapter 22.
They're a part of the storyline, and needed right now, but it's a little "choppy" due to taking out what originally happened between Leigh & Colby that I deleted and rewrote. I didn't want to rewrite these scenes over again, when they are already how they should be.. sorry lol
*Leighton's POV*
The date today is June 3rd and I am almost 14 weeks pregnant, and I was honestly starting to understand why everyone complained during pregnancy.
I had gotten even more "symptoms" so that was fun and totally not a pain in my ass at all.
I had a date tonight, and I was honestly feeling extremely nervous, especially since I had gotten these amazing new symptoms.
Not to mention that I had a real bump now.
It was honestly hella cute, and I loved looking at it whenever I could.
One morning I just woke up with a b u m p. Like it wasn't some pudgy little bloating, but it had actual form to it.

It didn't change in size like it used to, unlike how when Colby saw my bump after I drank all that water and it was mostly bloating. It stayed its shape and was starting to round out quite a bit which was cool.
I've started getting round ligament pains which has been fun. What that means is the sides of my belly like to hurt because my womb is expanding to fit my little baby. I've also started getting some pretty intense headaches. My boobs were still sore as fuck and I've just accepted that I'll be spending 9 months of my life with boob pain, and then whatever happens when the baby is born.
My boobs have definitely grown, which meant I needed to buy more bras. Definitely something a broke bitch wants to do, right?
My pants were also starting to get tight which did not at all help my body image issue at the moment, or my bank account.
I was extremely nervous as to what the third trimester was going to be like, if I ALREADY had to go buy new jeans.
I figured I would be one of the women who's milk comes in before the baby is here, and I was conflicted if I was looking forward to that.
I read that your colostrum can start coming in as early as 16 weeks, which meant I needed to invest in a pump pretty soon if that was the case.
I also needed to figure out if I wanted to freeze my breast milk or donate it, if it did in fact come in early.
Surely I won't need MONTHS in advance of saved breast milk before the baby even gets here, right?
I knew I needed to keep the colostrum for when the baby was born, but I wouldn't need all that extra milk, right?
