Two months later---
"Mommy I can't sleep," Liam says. He got out the hospital about a month ago and ever since then he's been getting nightmares and hasn't been sleeping well.
"OK baby, come over here and sleep with mama. I'm right here. And if you can't sleep then we'll.... Eat snacks all night and watch Netflix!" I said. He clapped his hands and hugged me
"OK. I love you mama." He says. Awee. He loves me! He's so cute!
"I love you too baby boy." I said then I went to turn the light out and layer him down.
"Can you turn the lights on please? Just one," Liam asked. I gave him a gentle smile and said, "Sure baby." I turned on the light next to the bed and laid down next to him. He cuddled himself onto me so I kissed his head and rubbed him on his back.
1 hour later
I wake up to him kicking me off the bed! He kept screaming and crying but he's asleep. I start to scream his name as I got myself up from the bed. I shook him awake and he cried in my arms.
"Shhh baby its gonna be OK. It was just a dream. It was just a dream." I tell him
20 minutes later---
We seriously got all these snacks and brought them upstairs. We decided to watch "Home" first. To hear him laugh is really like angels to my ear. All I know is that I'm getting tired and I wanna go to sleep but he's still wide awake so I gotta stay up.
"Mommy's gonna go out real quick. I'll be right back." I told him then I walked out the room and look at Josh. Oh.. He's sleep. He looks so peaceful and delicate. I can't wake him up. Seeing him makes my heart jump. I walk back to the room and see him still laughing at the movie. I check my phone and see its 2 in the morning! Oh god! I need to sleep. Lord help me.
two days later---
I have been up for 48 whole hours. I feel like I'm about to fie of exhaustion. Thank god Josh is with the kids as of now. I drag myself upstairs pass my calendar and go to my bed. Hold up, rewind, is that a red X. I should've gotten my period two days ago. No, I can't be. No worries I'm probably just a little late. It should come on by tomorrow. If it doesn't then I will start to worry but right now just keep it cool.
"Hey." Madison says, popping outta no where.
"Oh, hi." I said.
"Quick question why do you look like your about to die?" Madi asked.
"Because I've been up for two days straight, dealing with a little boy who keeps you up all nigh because he can't sleep and because he keeps scaring you out you sleep." I exclaimed.
" Ohh. Another quick question, why have you been starring at that calendar for about ten minutes?" She asked
"Oh.... No reason... I'm late." I said quickly.
"Oh.... Well is there a reason that you might be late?" She said. I then give her the 'you know' look. "Well then....Wait is it Josh's? Or is it that Aaron guy's? She asked
"Woah, chill, I didn't say I was pregnant. But if I were pregnant it would be Josh's." I confessed
"Awe, are you guys back together?" She said making her face get soft.
"No...Kinda... No... We're at a weird stage of the relationship. Whatever this is. I am in love Joshua. Always have been and always will be. I just don't know which way I want my life to go with him. What am I gonna do if I am pregnant? I just can't be." I told her.
"Well, I could pick you up a home pregnancy test for you. I'm actually going out with a friend today. He's taking me shopping." She tells me.
"Ok, thanks. What would I do with out you?" I asked
"I honestly don't know. Bye now." She says then she takes herself out the room and I go to sleep.
Josh's p.o.v ---
What the hell did I just hear? Is she really pregnant? Did she say she is in love with me? Oh god so many emotions I feel like I'm on a period. What if she is pregnant? What am I gonna do. I love her. I really love her. No, there's no way she's pregnant. She had to have got that handled after we.. You know. Oh god I'm terrified.
Ashley's p.o.v ----- three hours later----
Sleep is really a beautiful thing. Even though I only made up three hours of it but I feel better. I go downstairs and Josh stares at me the whole time.
"Like your view?" I asked with a small chuckle.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to stare." He exclaims.
"Yea, its cool. I'm pretty good to look at." I said. Then we both laughed. "Hey, do you know where Madison is?" I asked
"Um yea, she came back an hour ago she should be in her room." He says.
"Ok, thanks." I said. Then went to her room and knock on her door.
"Hey." she says. "Here. I only bought one so make it count." She adds, handing me the pregnancy test. I take it and run to the bathroom. Here it goes. Pee on the stick. Do it........ Ok that's done, now wait a few minutes......
a few minutes later---
It's time to reveal the answer. Am I pregnant? Again? I open one eye and peak at the test. The only test I ever pass. I open my eyes fully and see a sign. +. Oh no, it's really happening. I'm pregnant, Again. Oh my god. I wipe away my tear and show Madison.
"Oh.... Well I'm here for you. I always will be. Ashley we can do this." She tells me. We?
"We?" I said with confusion.
"Yes, we. Like I said, I'm here for you. No matter what. You were there for me when I was going through the worst so I'm gonna be here for you with this pregnancy. I love you Ashley. But, you're never gonna hear me say that again." She says. I then laughed.
"Ok, Thanks. I love you too." I said with a smile trying to shine through the tears.
" Ok... Enough of that. I think we should see a doctor to check up on things and make sure you're healthy." She says. Then she hugs me. "Everything's gonna be alright. I promise." She says as she soothes me. I feel like the younger sister now. Oh man, here we go again
