Chapter 39

~ 3 years later ~

Bryce POV//

Addison: BLAKE, ARI come on we are going to be late
Aria: coming mommy!! •runs downstairs•
Addison: where's your sister?
Aria: I dunno
Addison: how can a 6 year old take so long?
Bryce: babe don't stress, the last thing we need is for you to be stressed •kisses her head•
Addison: well can you go and find why our 6 year old is taking so long to get ready?

I chuckled, walking up the stairs to go and find where Blake had gotten to. We had been better than ever recently, Addison and I got married last year, Blake and Aria had just started school, Blake in 1st grade, Ari is in preschool. Oh and not to mention that Addison is 8 months pregnant with a baby boy. That's probably why she's so stressed, she's 36 weeks and I'm trying to lower her stress levels as both girls came early, although the midwife is saying this little boy isn't so little.

Bryce: Blake?? Come on Blake, you are going to be late
Blake: I don't wanna go to school today, I feel sick
Bryce: you were fine when you woke up, you can't be pretending to be sick Blake, you wouldn't lie to me would you?
Blake: •shakes her head• no my tummy really hurts daddy
Bryce: i will speak to mommy

I go back down to Addison and Ari, Addison was helping put Aria's shoes on, who wasn't making it entirely easy for a heavily pregnant women.

Bryce: babe let me do that •takes Ari's shoe•
Addison: where's Blake then?
Bryce: she feels sick, her stomach hurts apparently
Addison: she was fine when she woke up though?
Bryce: that's what I said but she does look a bit queasy and pale
Addison: aww poor baby, you have meetings to get to so I will stay here with Blake and can you take Ari to school on your way?
Bryce: yeah alright •kisses Addison's head• come on Ari •picks her up•

Addison POV//

Addison: blakey? •knocks on her door•
Blake: momma?
Addison: how are you feeling bubba?
Blake: my tummy is still sore, can you lie with me?
Addison: of course baby, let's go to mine and daddy's bed though, it has more space for my big belly •they both laugh•

I take Blake through to our room and cuddle with her, she rubs and talks to my bump which is sweet. I'd been having small pains for a few days now, not too harsh but definitely something happening.

Blake: momma?
Addison: yeah bubs?
Blake: what do you do when you're tummy hurts?
Addison: there's nothing much I can do when it's your baby brother causing it, maybe eating a little something might help yours though, how about some toast?
Blake: •nods•

I get out of bed and go downstairs to make Blake some toast with just butter because that's all she likes, she's a picky eater. My stomach pains were gradually starting to increase but I was worried about Blake so I just ignored it. I took her toast back up to her and she very slowly ate it.

Addison: how's you tummy feeling now?
Blake: nervous
Addison: why? What are you worried about?
Blake: you...•whispers•
Addison: why are you worried about me? I'm fine baby
Blake: I don't want to leave you?
Addison: you aren't going to leave me Blakey, I'm always here. What's made you think this?
Blake: but having a baby makes you die?
Addison: no it doesn't, who told you this?
Blake: some older girls at school •looks down•
Addison: blake, be honest with me here. Are people being rude to you at school? 
Blake: •nods•
Addison: aww Blakey •hugs her• what were they saying?
Blake: just that I was ugly and that when the baby comes, it will make you die?
Addison: is that why you didn't want to go into school today?
Blake: I didn't want to lie mommy but I didn't want you to die either
Addison: I'm not angry, what those girls are saying at school is not true, when your baby brother comes, daddy and I will go to the hospital and then before you know it, we'll be back again I promise. •kisses her head• and you are not one bit at all ugly, you are so beautiful.
Blake: that's because I look like you mommy! •giggles•
Addison: you're adorable •laughs•
Blake: how long till baby brother comes?
Addison: I wish I knew Blakey •laughs• he could come any time from now or up to a month
Blake: soooo long away •rubs her bump•
