Beautiful Mistakes [Brollins]

Chapter 20

Rebecca immediately noticed something was off with Colby when she saw him walk through the doors. She turned towards some clothes, thinking he was mad at her for taking so long. She didn't think she had been in there for that long, but maybe she had and she didn't realize it.

August sniffed her shoe and sat looking up at her. Rebecca smiled and turned her head, right when Colby came up behind her. "I'll be done in a minute...if you want to check out another store you can..."

Colby furrowed his eyebrows. "Huh? No, take as much time as you need."

Rebecca then nodded but pressed her lips together confused. "Is everything okay? I can hurry if you want to leave..."

Colby sighed and glanced at the big windows to make sure Sarah had walked away. "Yeah, I'll tell you about it later."

Rebecca then noticed how uneasy he was and placed a hand on his arm. "Are you sure you're okay?"

Colby turned towards her and gave her a small smile. He then leaned forward and pressed his lips to her forehead. "I'm good. Like I said, I'll tell you later." He then kissed her there again before stepping back and giving her a big smile. "Please tell me you're going to get some of these dresses—"

Rebecca laughed. "I knew you was going to say something about them." She then ran her hand over the one she had been eyeing. "Should I?"

Colby chuckled. "Is that even a question? Yes." He then looked at a few more that caught his eye. "And these too..."

Rebecca blushed and looked through to pick her size. "Well since you're paying I guess I'll get 'em."

After buying the dresses—and getting some pretzel dots to take with them—they ended up going to a nearby park to sit and eat, and also so August could run around.

Rebecca sat beside of Colby on a bench holding a pretzel in her hand, watching Colby eat. "So what happened?"

Colby shook his head as he chewed. "Sarah was at the mall."

Rebecca's eyebrows raised. "Oh..." She then looked back down at her pretzel. "Did she say something to you?"

Colby nodded. "Yeah. She was just saying a bunch of bull crap." He then looked over at her. "I'm sorry if I seemed mad at you. She just got under my skin."

Rebecca then smirked. "I thought I was the only woman to get under you...oh how times have changed."

Colby laughed and nudged her arm. "You know what I meant, goofy."

Rebecca smiled and rested her head against his arm. "What time are you going to pick me up tomorrow morning?"

Colby sighed remembering that they had to work. "Probably around eight...if you're ready in enough time."

Rebecca scoffed. "I'm always on time!"

Colby chuckled. "If on time is at least ten minutes behind everyday, then yeah, you're on time."

Rebecca laughed and leaned up to kiss his cheek. "You ready to head back?"

Colby nodded and kissed her forehead. "Yeah. Do you want to come to my place or yours?"

"Mine. I need to check on Ash...and get my stuff ready for tomorrow. Plus we have this little guy." She said picking August up and kissing him. Colby smiled and reached over to pet him before they got up and left.

Monday rolled around and Rebecca surprisingly woke up early. She had a terrible headache around four, so she just decided to get on up. She read some of a book, cuddled with August, and then she hopped in the shower to get ready, and once Colby finally arrived to pick her up, they left to go to work.

They were swamped with patients, and by the time Rebecca got to her last patient she was killed. "I think this is the most patients who've had since you've started, Becks." Renee said as Rebecca leaned over against the reception desk.

Rebecca sighed. "It is, actually." She said smiling. "I say you're tired..."

Renee nodded and ran a hand over her belly. "Well luckily I'm able to sit down most of the day, or else I'd be on bed rest right about now." She said laughing. "I wish it would just hurry up and come out ya know? But I still have four more months...I think I'm just impatient."

Rebecca smiled. "I say it feels like forever until it's supposed to come doesn't it?"

Renee nodded and sighed. "Yeah." She then smirked up at her. "Are you and Colby wanting kids?"

Rebecca blushed. "I know I do...someday...but I don't know how he feels." She then remembered she still hadn't started her period. "We went to a Halloween party the other night and i realized I still hadn't started...I'm scared to even tell him."

Renee gasped. "Well not to scare you even more, but that's how I found out I was pregnant. I hadn't started mine either, so I took a test just to prove to Jon that I wasn't pregnant, and to say we were shocked was an understatement."

Rebecca pressed her lips together and smiled. "Oh..."

Renee nodded. "I know..."

Colby then walked by with his car keys in hand. "Hey, ladies." He then wrapped his arm around Rebecca's shoulders. "Did you clock out?" When Rebecca nodded he continued. "Well, are you ready to go?"

Renee then stood and turned off her computer. "Yeah I need to head home as well." She then grabbed her purse and smiled. "You guys be careful. I'll see ya tomorrow."

"Bye Renee!" Rebecca called out. Colby then pressed a kiss to her temple, making Rebecca force a smile and ignore the ongoing voice in her head.
