My cheeks turn red as he looks at my face again and my body and soul long for Hayden, but I don't want to destroy or rush whatever we have now.
"I should sleep while this guy is here." I point to my stomach. "Lets me sleep." I giggle.
Hayden nods and leaves my bedroom. I want to call him back and ask him to sleep next to me. I adjust my pregnancy pillow and try to sleep.
The next morning I FaceTimed April and told her that Hayden was with me, that Tom told him about the pregnancy and he came right away. Also what Hayden told me yesterday about Rachel and how happy Briar Rose was that I was pregnant.
After I hung up with her, I went into the kitchen where Hayden made me a plate of waffles, which I like to eat more than pancakes now, but the maple syrup is still a must.
After I've eaten the two waffles and drank the coffee and orange juice, I can't find Hayden in the guest room. When I hear something in the baby's room, I run there and see Hayden building the baby bed at the top. I look to the right and see the rocking chair that he has in front of the window also.
,,Good morning." I say making Hayden turn to me.
,,Good morning." he says with a smile and turns back to the baby bed, which he continues to build.
I sit on the rocking chair and watch him. Without either of us saying anything, I enjoy the silence and Poppy comes to me and lies down at my feet.
"Sweet girl, where would you like the bed?" Hayden asks, looking apologetic.
I clear my throat, cheeks red. "I actually wanted to have the bed under the window, but then I thought that all the flies and other insects fly in here in the summer and it gets too cold in the winter." I say, trying to get up as he pushes the bed to where I tell him.
My attempt to get up causes me to snort angrily, making Hayden laugh, he comes over and helps me stand up. We both stand close to each other, I look up at him and notice his eyes looking at my lips and I have no idea why I'm licking my lips and that makes his eyes darken a little.
He slowly leans down towards me and his lips stay close to mine, I feel his warm breath and I close my eyes when his lips touch mine, I put my hands on his arms while his hands are on my waist.
I sigh into the kiss and slowly pull away and I don't know how to act now. Hayden puts his hand on my cheek and caresses it, I nestle in it and look at him.
"I'm really, really sorry, Aleia." He says and I understand that he's not apologizing for that kiss, but for breaking up with me.
I nod and nuzzle my face into his chest, he strokes my back and massages my lower back with his thumbs, making me moan softly.
,,That feels good." I whisper.
,,Turn around." He says and I do what he says.
He puts his hands under my stomach and lifts my stomach to take the weight of the baby bump off me and I swear that helps. We stay like that for a while until my mother appears at the door of the baby's room
and looks between Hayden and me.
Even though I'm an adult, pregnant, twenty-four year old woman, my cheeks turn red and I feel like I've done something wrong. But my mom smiles and greets Hayden with a hug and plants a kiss on my cheek.

My mom stayed until dinner and then went home, I sit in the living room and watch a movie on Disney Plus. Hayden comes into the living room and sits down next to me. He was nice enough to take her for a walk because I shouldn't overexert myself.
I put the bowl of popcorn next to us and he scoops up a handful of popcorn and stuffs it into his mouth.
Smiling, I look at him and turn my gaze back to the TV, the baby kicks my ribs and makes me hiss.
"Are you okay?" asks Hayden.
"Yeah, he's just kicking my ribs." I say and hiss again in pain.
Hayden gets up from the couch and kneels in front of me, I keep my hands on my knees even though I want to run them through Hayden's hair.
"Hey, kid, you're giving your mom a lot of pain when you kick her ribs." Hayden says to my stomach.
