Our Never Ending Love..// Sam Pottorff

Chapter 37

February*

Laila's POV

It's been almost two months since I left Jacob. They've been probably the two hardest months of my life, but I'm coping. My mom and I just touched down in LA, and are waiting for Belle to get to the airport to pick us up. Lex got her yesterday, she met Kian and her other friends. I invited Jacob to the baby shower, he said he would come, but I haven't heard from him since. Richard got me divorce papers sooner than I thought. I just haven't had the heart to sign them yet.

"Laila!" Someone yells and breaks my thoughts. Belle with the baby in her arms.

"Hey!" I say hugging her tight. "Shoot forgot there was a baby in here!" I say when I realize I was squishing my stomach.

"I've missed you, how are you?" She says rubbing my arm.

"Coping. I really didn't want my child to have a divided family, but it's for the best you know. Plus I heard they were still together. So obviously I meant nothing to him." I shrug.

"Don't say that! You mean something to everyone! But let's not talk about him right now." She says putting her arm around me and we walk to the car.

"Tony is at work, I gotta drop off Anna at my mother in laws. Then we can all go get breakfast, then to get our nails done, and maybe a haircut?" She asks and I look at her.

"Are you suggesting that my hair looks like shit, because I actually tried today." I laugh.

"No, your mom told me you were thinking about cutting it or getting a new style." She says scared.

"Chill! I was kidding, I'm down for that! But I'm hungry, so let's grub!" I say hopping in the car.

Once we finished at the hair salon, I ditched my extremely over grown light brown with blonde highlights, and went completely brunette and a much needed trim. Belle takes us back to her place and Tony is already home, with a few more cars in the drive way.

"Oh it looks like Adrian is here. That ok with you?" She asks.

"Yeah, dude did you seriously just ask me that question." I laugh.

"Well you're pregnant and your like hormones are like all out of whack, so I wasn't sure!" She nudges.

I get why she says that, but I'm honestly fine. Belle invited everyone to this party. Some people I didn't even know, but it's cool the more people the better. My mom went back to the hotel with Richard. She swears they aren't dating, but friends don't kiss and go on family vacations with each other. Kian came down with Lex yesterday, she got into UTEP, which is a shock because I didn't even know it was one of her options. I begged her to go spread her own wings when it comes to college and not follow your significant other, it may not turn out the way you expect, but she never listens. When I walk in theres like 15 tables lined up against the wall, Tony and Adrain are moving chairs outside.

"Thank god we bought a house right! Imagine this party in our loft!" She laughs putting the baby down in a bassinet.

"Wow! You're really going all out." I say grabbing what looks like decorations and fiddling with it in my hand.

"That's what best friends do."

"Has Jacob gotten back to you yet? You know if he's coming?" I ask hopeful.

"Uh ya, he says he'll be here, he also said you haven't signed the papers yet?" She questions.

"Oh." I mutter.

"I don't mean to pry Laila. Just a question." She says. "You know what I do mean to pry. Laila, he cheated on you! And he's still with her, I'm sorry but it's over, and I want you to get on with your life, fight the asshole for child support, and get him for half of his company or something, screw him over like he did to you!" Tears begin to form at her words. She's right.
