Unexpected

Chapter 33

30 weeks down. I feel like I've been pregnant forever. 10 more weeks to go. Oh my gosh! 10 more weeks and we still haven't picked out a name. That's a hard decision, choosing a name for a small person who has to live with that for the rest of their life. Or, until they are old enough to change if they really don't like it. Zane? No, I feel like it's too close to Xavier, more so on the alphabet spectrum that is. David? Nah, too ordinary. Maybe I should leave the boy names to Xavier.

That is a topic for later on, since I have been dropped off at home by myself. We just came from my checkup with the OBGYN when Xavier received a text. His demeaner changed real quick in the car, which makes me worry something is wrong. He never wants to go into detail with me on what it is he is doing every time "something" comes up and he needs to leave. He's 18 going to be 19 soon, still in high school, so I don't see what he could have going on to be so pressing that he needs to stress and leave to "handle" it.

Either way, times like this I wish I had a car so I could go somewhere, instead of always being stuck in this house. It's not so bad these days, since I am so big, I'm always tired and would prefer to stay in and sleep. But, even now, I'm actually not tired and it would be nice to go see May. I guess I am left with the only option of calling her and having her come here to either hang out, watch some Netflix, or maybe head out to the mall. Could use more shirts that are baby belly friendly.

Me: Hey Babe, whatcha up to?

May: OMG, dying of boredom! Pls tell me u need me over there?

May: WAIT! Everything is ok with u n Mr. Sexypants, right?

This girl and the names she comes up with for Xavier. Yes, he is HOT! Still not sure I've gotten use to the idea of my best friend drooling over the guy I'm with. She once called him Mr. Lickalicious. I still can't keep a straight face thinking of it, especially the face he made since she actually called him that to his face. Yep, my best friend does not hold back.

Me: Everything is fine. Yes, pls save me too. X left me alone at home, n I need some entertainment before my small bit of energy decides to realize it should be asleep right now. LOL!

May: I've already left! Either reason for texting me, would've constituted needing my presence. LOL!

Me: Then stop texting if you're driving.

May: Ok, so I haven't actually left, I just meant my ass is n gear to u.

15 minutes as promised, May was on my doorstep. Walking up the stairs to my room, May was a constant chatter box. Telling me everything that happened with her and that guy, Brandon, she has been seeing now for almost a month, I think that's what she said. She then went on to tell me she may do an intern this summer at her parents' law firm. She also mentioned she overheard her parents working on a case where the name Marizio came up. That's how the topic of our conversation turned quickly to Xavier and his family.

"I've worked on some of the files for my parents before, and some of the names I've seen are all mafia related. If you have the name Marizio being thrown in a conversation of legal with my parents, guarantee you it has something to do with the mafia." Thinking about Xavier's actions in the several months I've lived here with him, has made become more and more curious on what he is doing. His parents never come around or check in with the boys. Then again, I also have never asked about his parents and their whereabouts. "Speaking of X and his family, where did you say he went to?"

"I have no idea. He keeps his personal life, preferably his family a bit of a secret. I know with how I was living and him not always prying, I just assumed to do the same for him. He always says he 'has some things to handle', but never elaborates. I also wasn't sure if I was in any position to ask." May scrunched up her face in worry.
