*Leighton's POV*

"Jesus Christ" I laughed, Cynthia dumping my clean laundry on my bed.

"You're welcome" She laughed, plopping herself on top of the laundry.

"You're just going to lay on it, and not help me fold it?" I asked, a small breathy laugh leaving my lips as I grabbed a pair of shorts off the stack, almost tripping on my suitcase.

"What do you mean? I literally did your laundry" She laughed, holding her hand out to have me help her up. "This baby is kicking my ass" She groaned, stepping over Nova.

"You're due when?" I questioned, kicking the bag out of my way.

"September 10th"

"So you're what, 3 months along?" I asked and she nodded.

"When did your bump pop?" She asked and I thought back for a moment.

"Uh... end of 2nd tri I think? I don't remember" I chuckled nervously, feeling bad that I can't recall. "My pregnancy is kind of a blur. I struggled a lot, sorry" I gnawed on my bottom lip, not wanting to worry her.

"Yeah, your pregnancy was rough"

"Alright, come on, I gotta finish packing for rehab" I grabbed another article of clothing, sorting through my clothes and Gemma's clothes.

I put the new toothbrush and toothpaste package in the bag when the doorbell rang, Nova now running through the house barking.

"Nova!" I shouted, walking down the hallway. "Come here girl! It's Colby" I told her, knowing she had no idea what I was talking about.

Nova was still barking as I opened the door, Colby immediately giving her attention.

"Hey doggy" He cooed, rubbing her down, crouching in front of us. "She makes me miss Captain" he told me and I nodded.

"Yeah, I miss Captain and Dakota too. We should go back at some point. You'd come back with me, right?" I asked and he nodded, his hands rubbing down Nova's head and back.

"We should see if we can go after the Italy trip" He suggested and I nodded.

"I can try. We'll see how this rehab shit goes" I sighed and he stood up, taking his shoes off.

"Where's baby G?" He asked, slipping his jacket off.

"Napping"

"Dammit" He cursed and I laughed, leading him back to my room where my less large pile of laundry was.

"Hey Colby!" Cynthia greeted the two of them talking for a minute whilst I finished folding laundry.

Colby laid down on my bed, shoving my laundry out of the way which made me roll my eyes.

"You're so helpful, thank you" I told him sarcastically as he pulled out his phone.

"It's not my laundry" he replied with a grin and I flipped him off.

We hung out in my room as I finished doing laundry, laying down next to Colby.

"Laundry is tiring" I breathed out, my elbow accidently smacking Colby in the face as I tried to put my hands behind my head.

"Ow!" He groaned and I tried to stifle my laugh as I apologized, putting my right hand down.

"I'm sorry!" I apologized, trying not to laugh still.

"No you're not" he chuckled and I grinned, turning to look over at him.

"You're right, I'm not" I replied cheekily and he rolled his eyes.
