It had been almost two months since the party. The boys had gone on tour in the UK and they'll be gone for almost six months. I'm sitting on the couch, watching a movie with Zoe on my lap. We had been inseparable since the day I got her. Em had moved in with me to help me with the puppy and everything else. My belly is now very noticable, being three months along.
"Hey Em, can you get me a water bottle from the fridge?" I holler.
"UGH YOU ASK SO MUCH OF ME." She shouts sarcastically, opening the refrigerator door. I laugh and try to stand up; my stomach making it tough.
"This is a serious bitch. I can't even stand up. It's all Michael's fault and he's not even here to suffer with me" I complain. "And to make it worse, I can't smoke." I glare at Emily as she sticks a cigarette in her mouth and steps outside to light it. This sucks. I thinks to myself as I grab the dog. I walk over to the back door and open it. Em quickly steps out of my way, keeping me away from the smoke.
"Thanks." I say, setting the dog in the grass. "Go potty, Zo." Potty training. I stare longingly at my cousin's lit cigarette.
"NO."Em shouts, catching me staring. I groan in response. When Zoe finally went to the bathroom I took her inside. I lean against the kitchen counter. I miss Michael.. Em steps inside and shut the door behind her.
"I miss Michael." I say, rummaging through the cabinet.
"I miss Ashton." She says, pulling out her phone and sitting on the couch. They had been dating for a while now. Just then my phone rang and I pick it up.
"Hello?"
~Hey Babe!~
"Hey Mikey! How's tour going?" I grin into the phone.
~oh its great. The mates and I are in a hotel room. We might be coming back early, maybe two months.~
"Oh babe that's great. I miss you so much." I say, earning a groan from Em.
~I miss you too.~ I hear several 'I miss you's' in the back from the boys.
~tell Em Ash says hey~ I tell her and she smiles.
~well I gotta go, just callin to say hey.~
"Awh alright. Later babe. I love you."
~love you too. Bye.~ I hang up. Ugh it was so good to hear his voice. I start to feel a little down and Em notices my change in mood.
"Hey, I miss them too." She pulls me into a hug. I pull away and smile. She goes over to the stereo system and plugs her phone into the speakers.
"I know what will help." She smirks as she starts playing 'She's Kinda Hot Though'.
"Oh my god." I sigh as she grins. It's not long before we're both belting out every song on the album.
~a month later~
"EM COME IN HERE QUICK!" I shout from the bathroom.
"What!? What is it?" She hurries in.
"Feel.." I grab her hand and put it on my growing stomach.
"Awh holy shit." She smiles as she feels the baby lightly kick her hand.
"Aaaahh it's aliiiiiive." I channel my inner Frankenstein and we both laugh.
"He's growing so fast. It's crazy. It feels like yesterday you were just tiny." Em rubs my belly.
"I knoooow.. I just want him out." I complain.
"It won't be long." She smiles at me.
Too long. I want my family.
*****
Sorry for the super short shitty chapter. And for no Mikey. Changes are happening soon.
And BTW Em is actually my cousin and she's gonna be writing a story about her and Ashton.
