Stilettos in the City

Chapter Five

I woke up and took a shower. I got dressed, I planned on going shopping for bigger clothes instead of maternity clothes. I wanted to shop for maternity clothes later on. But today, I had to wear my normal clothes, that, might I add, are getting slightly small, or at least they were today. You can actually see my bump, it's tiny, but it's there. Once I got dressed I called Caden.

"Hey."

"Hey, Liz."

"Do you want to go with me to buy some clothes? If you don't want to its fine, but I mean I thought we could talk while I looked."

"Sure. I'll be over in a few. Bye Liz."

"Bye Caden."

I hung up the phone. I brushed over my hair once more. I began to walk into the living room because I heard Caden knocking on my front door but my direction changed into the bathroom because I had to puke so I ran really fast into the bathroom. I lifted up the toilet seat and began to puke. Caden must've came in while I was running to the bathroom. He held up my hair for me. 'Bless his heart.. I probably look like a mess now.. How sweet, he's holding my hair back for me..' I lifted up my head and Caden let go of my hair, I sat on my knees and pulled a piece of toilet paper from the roll and wiped my mouth.

"Thanks." I said throwing the toilet paper in the trash.

"No problem. I'll wait on you in the car." He said.

I nodded my head and got up with his help. I brushed my teeth and met him in his car.

"Mall?" He asked.

"Yeah. Can we get some food while we're there?" I asked.

"Sure. What's the little guy craving?" He asked.

"Guy?" I asked looking at him confused.

"I have a feeling it's a boy." He said.

"Well, I think it's a girl." I argued.

"Well, I think it's a boy." He said mimicking me.

"Girl." I said looking out the window.

"Boy." He argued.

"Girl!" I said.

"Boy." He said.

I stayed silent, "Boy." I said.

"Girl." He said.

"Hah! You said girl!" I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Whatever." He rolled his eyes and laughed.

"Pizza." I said.

He looked at me confused quickly then turning his head back to the road, "Pizza? What about it?" He asked.

"The baby is craving pizza. Or I am. You know what I mean." I said.

"Okay then pepperoni pizza it is." He said.

"Um, no. Cheese. No pepperoni." I argued.

"Half-cheese and half-pepperoni?" He asked.

"No." I said sternly.

"Okay, okay. Only cheese." He finally gave in.

"Exactly." I said, smiling.

'Rude much?' "I'm sorry, you can get whatever you want." I apologized as I looked down at my lap.

He held my hand, "I'll get whatever you want. You're the one carrying a child, not me." He said still holding my hand.

"Thanks Caden." I blushed.

When we arrived at the mall, first we ate, then we went to look for clothes.

"Ugh. I look fat in this. Not pregnant." I complained.

"You look fine." He smiled an unconvincing smile.

"Stop lying, Caden. I have to buy maternity clothes then." I sighed. I walked out of the store and into another and another and another. You get the pattern now. We ended up with 6 shirts, 7 pairs of pants, and a few other things. After we went shopping we went by my house to drop off my clothes. Then made our way to Central Park.

It was beautiful. We walked around the park and talked. I enjoyed every minute. I began to hold his hand at some point and I didn't even notice. I was starting to fall for him. He was starting to fall for me too.

When we got to my house he walked me up to my door, he then did something unexpected,"Goodbye, Elizabeth." He said kissing my cheek then he said, "and goodbye to you little fella." Getting down on his knees and rubbing my stomach. I didn't expect what happened next, he kissed my stomach. I repeat. He kissed my stomach. It was so sweet! I kissed his cheek before he left.

I walked into the house once we said our goodbyes. I called the doctors office and made an appointment, I would go in on Friday. I was excited, my first appointment with my baby. I texted Caden and Toby to let them know the date. I soon went to sleep ... An exhausted mother-to-be.
