True love

VI

Sinead

"Oh my god, y'all must really love blueberries." I chuckled as I felt the twins move a bit. It's Saturday and Julian had to go into the office today. Surprise, surprise. He knew we were supposed to be planning the nursery this afternoon. That's okay though, I got something for him.

I'm halfway through my pregnancy and I know once I hit my third trimester in six weeks, I won't have the energy to do anything. That's why I'm glad I know what I'm having, so now we can get the ball rolling. Julian's playing games and honestly I think it's because of his fear.

Which I can admit is my fault, I just popped up here, pregnant. Like boom, you a baby daddy now! That was cool, he's had no mental preparation for this at all. I just that hope he doesn't get all overwhelmed and goes incognito on me. Especially not with two fucking babies.

I'm sitting on the sofa eating mixed fruit
and watching old episodes of Charlie and Lola. Oh man, this was my favorite show growing up. My show was annoyingly interrupted by my phone ringing.

"Hello." I said as I answered it.

"Hey baby, Are you up good?" Julian replied.

"I'm up." I chuckled then popped a raspberry into my mouth.

"You have anything planned today?"

"Eh, Rena's been bugging me about the baby shower since last night, so I think I'm gonna go see what she wants."

"Oh okay, good... I'm hoping I can get lunch around two-thirty, so we can eat together."

Awe my heart fluttered. He's so damn sweet.

"Oh of course baby, I'll bring something to you... That okay?"

"Perfect see you soon."

We end the call and I hop up. I wanna be sure that I look cute. This is the first time his employees will be seeing me, I don't want them to talk smack behind Julian's back because I look busted. That's be so embarrassing. He'd probably break up with me, and I wouldn't blame him.

After my shower, I did my hygiene then the went to the closet. Oh man what the fuck am I gonna wear? I picked out a blue and white, floral print, maxi, pencil skirt. I paired it with and white tube top and a jean jacket. I straightened my hair then did my makeup.

Okay I look presentable. I slipped on a pair of white sandals then grabbed my bag. Now off to figure out what we're gonna eat. I want taco bell, so that's what he's getting too. Oh boy, I pray he didn't have coffee this morning, or that's gonna be one shitty situation. Literally.

I got into my car and pulled off. Before going to taco bell, I stopped at the store and got a few snacks and some fruit. I don't know why I'm craving fruit and sugar so much but I am. And I'm not talking about candy type of sugar, like sugar straight from the bag. I'm gonna be so fat once I give birth.

I got to Julian's building and parked. I'm freaking the fuck out. What if I trip or poop my pants? Please don't let me embarrass myself universe. I took a very deep breath then stepped out of the car. The whole walk up to the front door and the ride in the elevator to the 16th floor, consisted of me giving myself a pep talk and telling myself I'm pretty. Words of affirmation are always needed.

"Hello, ma'am how may I help you?" The girl at the desk greeted.

"Uh I'm here to see Julian, well mister Polinice." I said nervously.

"You had an appointment or?" She asked raising an eyebrow at me. Damn do I look like a groupie or something?

"Uh not necessarily, I'm here for lunch." I chuckled holding up the bags.
