Stilettos in the City

Chapter Nine

***4 Months Pregnant***
Starting my second trimester. Almost there! Only 5 more months to go. In one month I should be able to feel the baby kick and on the last week of that month I get to find out the baby's sex! I can't wait! I've recently asked Caden to move in with me, I get bored easily. I need someone to talk to other than my baby. I know the baby can't hear me, but in month 5 his or her hearing will begin to develop! So I'm going to be talking his or her little ears off. Caden and I are going to just relax and watch movies.

"So what do you wanna watch?" I asked as I popped a strawberry into my mouth.

"I don't know." He said looking at the screen, thinking.

"How about a Disney movie?" I asked, smiling.

"Tarzan?" He asked while looking at me.

"Yep!" I said as I ate another strawberry.

"Tarzan it is then." He said as he searched through the kids movies.

We watched Tarzan and cuddled the whole movie. I loved spending time with him. He was the most amazing person. I still needed to tell my parents about my pregnancy. Ugh. I really need to get around to that. I should call them today and tell them about Toby and I breaking up then I could just ask when they could come and see me that way I can be prepared.   They work 24/7 though. It would be at the least 1 month before they could come see me.

"What are you thinking about?" Caden asked, rubbing my right arm as we cuddled.

"My parents. I still need to tell them that I'm pregnant." I bit my lip like I do whenever I think.

"Are you worried about what they will think or something?" He asked.

"They really liked Toby. They wanted me to wait until I was married to have kids too." I said.

"Well I'm sure they'll support you, if they're anything like you." He reassured me.

"Thanks, Caden." I said.

"Let's finish the movie and then you can call them, okay?" He said looking down at me.

"Okay." I said turning my attention to the T.V. screen. I eventually got lost in the movie. Once the movie ended I grabbed my phone and dialed the number I'd been dreading to call. The phone began to ring. I bit my lip, trying to think of what to say.

"Hello?"

I suddenly lost my voice. I was trying to speak but was unable. I handed the phone to Caden, I don't know why. I just froze. All my life all I wanted was my parents approval. The only thing that they approved of was Toby. Caden took the phone from my hands.

"Hello Mr. Jones. I'm Caden Waters, I'm friends with Elizabeth. She's unable to speak right now, but she'll speak to you when she can."

"Where's Toby? Shouldn't he pick up my daughter's phone?"

"Elizabeth can explain that to you. I'll try and hand her the phone." He tapped my shoulder and I immediately took the phone from his hands.

"Hey Daddy."

"Hello, Elizabeth. How are you?"

"I'm fine. How are you and Mom?"

"We're good. Honey, where is Toby?"

"Um, well. Toby and I broke up.."
