Four Months ( Graser10 and Stacyplays ) #wattys2016

Epilogue

A girl brought the book up to me, a smile full of braces, telling me to make it out to Amber. I grinned and signed it, telling her thank you for standing in line for hours.

Looking behind her I saw that nobody was left, stood up and gave her a hug to send her off. Watching her disappear into the book shelves of this particular book store.

I stretched and set my sharpie down, watching as my body guards stare me down. Clyde being extra cautious due to last month's fan hitching a ride on my car.

" Clyde, " I cleared my throat, "Can you follow me, it'll be quick I promise. We can just go back to the hotel after this I promise. "

He nodded, " Of course. "

Squeezing out the back door, the cool air nipped at my face. I pulled the scarf over my nose and continued forward. Rounding the corner in the matter of minutes.

It's not like I had forgotten. It's only been two years.

I almost skipped, my beanie falling slightly as I picked up the pace. Giggles escaped as soon as I could hear Clyde's footsteps increase.

Stepping through the doors to the building, the warm heaters made my face flush. I turned to the secretary's place. It was incased in glass, and upon stepping in. She knew who I was.

"Mrs. Graser? Oh! Would you like a visitors pass!? " She squeaked.
With a nod, she wrote a slip and gave it over. Her hands where shaky with nervousness. I granted her a warm smile.

"Clyde, sit here, I'll be back in a few. Trust me I'll be fine. " The man just shrugged and took a seat.

My heels clicked as I made my way down the hall, I remembered the exact place, how could I forget honestly?

The door was slightly ajar, and the voice inside made my heart flutter. I physically had to put my hand over my mouth to calm myself down. Taking a deep breath before knocking.

Of course I let myself in, I mean. I'm famous. And this is my best friend that I haven't seen in forever.

Her face lit up, her class let out an array of gasps, "Mrs. Straub! And fellow students! How are you guys!? "

Bianca flew to my arms, her class sitting in silence as we embraced. Her baby bump pushed against me. As she let go I turned to the students and beamed, asking them how they where.

With a few goods, and one " Amazing now that your here! Can I et your autograph? "

My time was up, I gave Bee a squeeze and told her I'd see her later on tonight, I left the class with a warm feeling in my heart. Seeing Clyde leaning over the secretary desk made my eyes roll.

I montioned for him to come along in which he winked to the girl and followed after me and out the door.

"I got her number. " He smiled.

I scoffed and hit his arm, " Of course you did. Let's go to one last place, I'll grab us lunch. My treat. "

Our pace was brisk. The city sounds blending in with the rustling of fall leaves long dried out shipping around us. I had forgotten how the air felt out here.

Clear.

The place was the same expect I suppose they added a expanded parking lot. And a sign on the door saying, ' The location of Four Months Book. " Which made me chuckle.

Hockey was on television, the place was packed, and all but one booth was taken. The waitress giggled and motioned for us to sit down.

Now only if Zachary sat across from me. That could finish this nostalgia.

Pizza was our order, and I made sure to box a few slices to bring to the hotel. The red leather booth made me want to close my eyes to take me back.

I tried to Invision Zach sitting across from me, his mouth full of braces, me peering at him over my laptop. Wondering why there was a stranger in my booth.

Who would of thought I'd be here, my book selling over a million times. My next book already out and at the top charts. And my newest book in the works, it was a collaboration with Bianca.

Bidding Clyde a goodnight I stepped into the hotel room, his lips immediately onto mine was an amazing greeting. I ran my fingers through his hair in realization to how long it had grown. Suddenly noticing the cologne on him. Not like I picked it out or anything.

Trying to pick me up was hard, so he pulled me to the bed, forcing the bags to the ground as I landed with a thud. Him ontop of me, meer inches from my face.

"How was your day Stace? " He asked.

I shrugged, " Fine, I went to see Bee after the signing, then to the place we met at. "

He gaped his mouth open, " You had nostalgia without me? "

Pecking his lips, I giggled, " Don't worry honey, I got you pizza. I couldn't forget about my little baby. "

His eyes lit up, quickly pushing off of me and running to the bathroom. I could hear fumbling around in the room when I sat up.

Zachary rushed out, his hands behind him. He threw a small object at me, and it hit my chest before falling to the bed.

Cursing at myself I stared down at the pregnancy test that I took right before I left for the signing. I put it away in hopes for a sign when I came back and forgot about it.

My sneaky husband found out I was pregnant before I did.

" Well. " I paused, looking to his eyes, " I didn't know it. Now we do. Zachary... We're going to be parents. "

" I knew! It appeared when I found it! " Zach grabbed me by my face and kissed me.

Falling back again onto the bed, he ran his hands up and down my face, our mouths moving in sync. We had done it two weeks prior, I was due the next day. And had nothing since.

He pulled away slightly and touched my stomach, " If we had sex right now could the baby feel it? "

I shook my head and started to laugh, " Oh my god you are so gross! Zachary, I'm not that far along. "

" Sorry Zachary Jr. " He whispered into my belly. Making me chortle as he started to blow raspberries.

" Who says you're naming it? " I asked.

" You're right, " He paused and went back to my stomach, " Sorry Stacy Jr. "
