Together Again (Book 2)

Three

Ava

When I wake up Chase has already left. I try calling but of course he left his phone here. He knows that bugs the heck outta me. I dial the doctors office and the lady can squeeze me in at ten. I'm too excited. I just wish Chase was here.

I jump in the shower then start getting ready. I curl my hair and pick out a green blouse along with some black jeans. My makeup is light along with some red lipstick. I grab my purse and keys then head out.

"Ava Rice?" The lady calls for me. I set the magazine down and follow her to a room. "How are you doing Mrs. Rice?"

"Excited. How are you?" I ask laying at an angle on the examining table.

"Good." The nice lady responds.

After a few hours the doctor says I am pregnant and refers me to an ultrasound clinic so I head over there. It's just going to be a brief one. Just to check everything out.

Chase

I get home to an empty house. I look for my phone and it's next to hers. She knows I get angry when she doesn't take her phone because it worries me. I roll my eyes in disagreement. I open a beer and sit in the living room. There's not much on so I just chill on the couch.

"Chase I'm home." Ava calls and get up to meet her at the door. She wraps her arms around me tightly.

I kiss the top of her head. "Where were you?" I ask controlling myself.

"Well I went to the doctors and.."

"Why didn't you tell me you were going to the doctors?" I cut her off. I sigh. "Sorry, and?"

"Umm. It's nothing." She walks away from me. "I need to make dinner. " She starts crying.

It must be her time and she hasn't needed anything because she's been a wreck. I follow after pulling her by her arm towards me. "Please tell me what's wrong baby." I pick her up and she wraps her legs around me. I lift her chin so she's looking me in the eyes.

"Well can we keep it a secret until next week." I think about where this is going. My mom is coming next week and that's about it. "Well put me down and sit with your eyes closed. " I obey her and I hear her go down the hall and back. "Hold your hand out."

When I open my eyes I'm holding a bag. Really? I take the tissue paper out and pull out the first item, it's a pair of white booties like the ones babies wear. Then next thing is a frame that reads daddy I can't help but tear up. The frame had an ultrasound picture. I pull Ava in close and kiss her placing my hand on her tummy.

"I love you." I tell her. "You're going to be the best mom every."

"I love you too baby. " She smiles and sits on my lap.
