Family in Progress

The Talk

Samantha's POV

I'm patiently waiting with Micah to see how things went between my brother and Louis. Given how well I know Kyle, I have a slight feeling things might not go well. Kyle has always had a strong disliking to Louis ever since him and I broke up.

I was a mess back than, after we broke up I could never find a reason to smile. That ended after my first ultra sound, Sophie was sitting right next to me and holding my hand as I looked at the monitor and saw the little peanut that had started growing inside me. It was truly the most beautiful moment in my pregnancy, right along with the day I found out I was expecting a boy. Micah was the perfect blessing to me and he was my reason to get out of the funk I was in after the break up.

I'm pulled from my thoughts a few moments later and I hear footsteps coming from behind me. I turn around to see Louis standing in the doorway of the living room. I stand up, leaving Micah on the couch to finish watching his cartoons while I leave the room to talk to Louis.

"Hey," he says as we walk into the kitchen together.

"Is everything okay?" I reach out to grab his hand in mine and I notice, just barely, how he flinches.

"Yeah, we had a good talk actually." He looks past me, to where Micah is sitting. "How's Micah?"

"Micah, he's fine. We were just watching TV. Is everything going to be ok between you two?"

"Yeah, like I said we had a good talk. We reasoned out our differences, and we became aquatinted with each other. Considering he was just 10, the last time we had a real conversation. Hey listen, we need to talk soon. Maybe tomorrow during our lunch break, we could go for some coffee?"

"Sure, yeah. That sounds great. Are you staying for dinner? I think my dad was planning on cooking tonight."

"Actually I gotta run, I'm sorry. I'm supposed to be meeting a friend tonight for dinner. An old college roommate."

"Okay, well I'll call you later?"

He nods. I wrap my arms around his waist, and tuck my head into his chest. We stay like this for a moment, before he kisses my forehead and I unwrap my arms from him. Him and Micah exchange goodbyes and engage in a short tickle fight, before I walk out to his car with him. I feel like he's hundreds of miles away from me, mentally. I shake the thoughts from my head and he gives me a quick, not so sentimental kiss before getting in his car and driving off.
