Beautiful Mistakes [Brollins]

Chapter 36

The five of them moved all of her stuff into the moving truck in three hours. When they were done Rebecca walked into her now, empty bedroom holding August in her arms. She squeezed August close to her chest giving it a kiss on the head.

She then sighed as she took a final look around, thinking about the last five months she had lived there.  She was excited about the next stage of her life, but she couldn't help how much she would miss living in that part of town.

As she stood there, she heard footsteps come in the room from behind her. "Regretting playing that roulette game?" Mercedes said from beside of Ashley and Pamela.

Rebecca laughed and sat August down. "No...I wouldn't change the outcome of that." She then placed her hands in her pockets. "We're still having girls night right?"

Ashley nodded. "Of course! We're never going to stop having girls night...even after the baby is here. If it's a girl, she's going to join us."

Pamela furrowed her eyebrows with a smile. "What if it's a boy?"

Ashley blinked and crossed her arms. "Well...it will still come and we'll just play mini baseball with him."

Rebecca laughed and rubbed a hand over her still flat abdomen. "You mean you're not wanting them to stay with Colby?"

"I'm their Aunt! I want to see them too..." Ashley said with a smile.

Rebecca smiled and held out her arms. The other girls quickly walked over to her and crashed into her arms with a sad smile. They stood there hugging for at least a minute before any of them spoke. "I know you're only like 40 minutes away, but we're gonna miss you."

Rebecca smiled at Pamela's words. "I'm going to miss you guys too..."

When August barked up at them they stood back. "We're gonna miss you too little guy." Mercedes said bending down and petting him.

Rebecca watched the girls interact with August before he ran out of her bedroom to Colby—who stood there waiting for Rebecca. He picked August up with a smile. "Hey buddy."

Rebecca smiled at him before looking at the girls. "I guess the moving truck is loaded..." She then sighed. "I'll talk to you all later."

Mercedes smiled and waved as she walked out of the room. "Love you Becks!"

Rebecca turned around. "I love you guys too." She said with a smile.

When Rebecca turned towards Colby, he wrapped an arm around her waist. "You ready?"

Rebecca nodded. "Yep! Let's go soulmate."

The duo arrived to his apartment around three. He parked the car and Rebecca followed him inside. She had never been to his apartment before, so it was all a new environment for her. He lead her—and August—into the elevator and when it reached the fourth floor, he lead them down a long hallway. "You have to walk a mile just to get to your apartment."

Colby laughed and nudged her with his arm. "That's why I take the elevator. It would take me a year just to get up the steps."

Rebecca pet on August as she kept moving, trying to keep him calm. Colby finally stopped at a door and pulled out his keys. "We're here." He put the keys in and unlocked the door. "Welcome to me casa."

Rebecca smiled at him as he nudged her inside. The apartment wasn't at all what she expected it to be. It was smaller than what she thought it was, but it was the most organized place she had seen in a long time. There was also artwork hanging from the walls and Rebecca couldn't help but gasp. "Wow...Colby this place is nice!"

He smiled and shut the door. "It's not as big as yours used to be, but it's perfect for me and you." He then hung his keys on a key rack. "I'll get you a key made tomorrow, that way we both have one." He then spread his arms wide, showing her the open living room and kitchen. "Do you like?"

Rebecca nodded as she took the view in. "I love it!" She placed August down on the ground so he could roam around.

Colby came up and placed his arm on her lower back, gently moving her towards another room around a corner. "Here's the laundry room."

Rebecca smiled as he moved her towards another room. "This is a small bathroom with just a toilet and a sink."

He then guided her towards a big room. "And this is our bedroom."

Rebecca smirked as she looked around. She noticed a night stand on one side, and she noticed he had made room for her to place her night stand on the other side.  "You made room for my night stand?"

Colby nodded and moved his hand up and down her back. "Of course." He then motioned with his other hand to another empty space. "I also left room for Augusts bed."

Rebecca smiled. "Yeah he won't sleep in a different room without me."

Colby chuckled and motioned towards his closet. "I also gave you two thirds of the closet."

Rebecca laughed and walked over checking out the space. "Thank ya for that." She smirked up at him as she moved her arms around his neck. "Now that we're living together you'll be buying me all the clothes I want and need."

Colby smiled. "Yep. Especially when you get a bump..."

Rebecca smiled and looked down towards her stomach. "I still can't comprehend the fact I'm growing a life inside me right now..."

Colby nodded and kissed her forehead. "It still feels so surreal."

Rebecca looked back up at him and smiled. "We're going to be parents in eight months, Lopez."

Colby smiled. "I can't wait..."
