When we got home I took a nap like I wanted too. Billy was down stairs watching TV or he went out for a run. I don't care at this point. I felt like I was on cloud nine. When I started to wake up Billy was sleeping right next to me all sweaty. He must had gotten back from his run. Holding me as his thumb was rubbing my belly before he went into his deep sleep.
I waited to move so he could get some sleep. Muttering in his sleep.. I did my best to understand what Billy was trying to say but it was so soft that I didn't understand. Waiting for fifteen minutes before I could move, I got up from the bed. Heading to take a shower. After that he was still sleeping. Changing and going down stairs. Pipi was watching TV.
I sat next to him. "Hey Pipi."
"Hi there princess. I heard that court was called to a dismiss for the day. Are you doing okay?"
"Yeah." I rubbed my belly. "It's just been a weird day. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone." I chuckled.
He chuckled too. "I would understand why. Why don't you stay home tomorrow? They don't need you since you testify already."
"I just might. I think a day or two might help." I sighed.
"It's up to you. How are you and Billy doing?"
"Okay I guess. I mean it's tough times right now. That we have been fighting."
"You know your grandma and I would fight a lot too. But gosh we loved each other more than anything. We couldn't live without each other. Then we had your aunt and Aston." I nodded. "Don't worry about it. Once the court is done, the two of you can move on and take care of my great grandbaby."
Right... Moving on. I smiled. "I hope so. How was work?"
"Busy. But glad I'm done for the day." He stretch out. "I'm cooking tonight. Anything sounds good for you and the baby?"
"How about your famous homemade pizza that you use to make for Stevie and I." I nugged at him .
"Okay sounds like a plan. You want to watch cartoons with your old man?"
"I would love too." Watching cartoons until it was dinner time. And I went upstairs to wake up Billy but he was already up and taking a shower.
I went to the bathroom door and said. "Pipi is making homemade pizza what toppings to do you want on it?"
"Oh.. mushrooms of he has any." He poke his head out from the shower curtain.
"Alright." I headed back down stairs. I told Pipi about what Billy wants and sat back down as I watch an old movie thag was playing on the TV. Sitting next to me as he plops down. Billy sighed heavily. "How was your run?"
"Good. I saw a few highschool people." Billy stated.
"That's good."
"Eh. I hardly remember them. I ran into Heather."
Oh course. What happened to Harvard? Oh she's home for the summer. Not wanting to know what she was up too. "How is she doing?"
"Alright. She's back for the summer." He crossed his arms as Billy didn't seem to interested in this conversation.
"That's nice." I dropped it.
"Hmmhm." Billy crossed his legs as they were on the footstool. Hands are folded.
Pipi came into the living room. "Dinner is almost ready. Princess you want to set up the table?"
Anything for me to get away from Billy's attitude. "Sure Pipi." I got up and went to the dining room to set up. It was going to be the three of us. Waters all around and paper plates. By the time I was done the pizza was done. I went to tell Billy. "Dinner is ready."
"Okay." He got up as he followed me into the dining hall.
Dinner went fine, Pipi and Billy carried on a conversation as I kept to myself. I was just overly tried and just wanted to go to bed and stay in bed. I mean I have done it before, why not do it again?
Back in the bedroom as Billy was cleaning up. Billy opens the door as he looked like he could go back to bed as well. Putting on some lotion on. Billy had both hands in his pockets as he walked through the room.
I watched him from the corner of my eyes as he walked. Taking of his pants and shirt only in his briefs, he crawls into bed. We both didn't have anything to say until I said this to him. "I'm not going tomorrow."
"Going where?" Billy mumbles.
"To court. Where else?" Rubbing my eyes. Like come on!
"Oh... You want me to go or stay?"
"You don't have to go if you don't want too. I think that it's causing me to much stress so I'm taking a night off." Pulling the blanket over me.
"I see. It's up to me. Gotcha." His face mutters into the pillow. He clings to the pillow as he faces away from me.
I turns off my lamp as I face the other way. The night light is sorta bright in the room as it helps me sleep at times. I watch the light, not the light it self but what was showing on the wall.
I started to think of a time that when Steve and I were small that Pipi was in the middle of us and he was doing a puppet show with his hands. I smiled. I remember that time was rough for me. Aston got arrested that day and Steve came over to comfort me since this was a big house that I didn't want to be alone. I was safe. Finally safe at that point.
Dozing off to the sound of Billy's snoring. I didn't wake up until the next moring to Billy's alarm going off. He got up and headed to the bathroom as I started to wake up. Rubbing my eyes. Not knowing what his plan was. Maybe he'll go.
Coming out Billy was rubbing his eyes as well. "You up for some coffee, or do you want to go back to sleep?"
"Coffee please." I mean I can go back to sleep after having two or three cups and still not bother me.
Nodding his head as he went down stairs. I went to the bathroom as well. I stare into the mirror and see that my belly was growing a smidge. "That's my baby. Hey why don't we go see grandma, eh?" I washed my hands as I was finished with the bathroom.
Billy came up within two minutes. "I'm going to court today. To see if he makes himself an ass today."
"Alright." I took the cup that he offered to me. "I think I'll just stay home and read for a bit." After I visit my mother.
"Sounds like a plan."
