I was now 16 weeks pregnant but still no one knew about the baby. We do plan on telling them but trying to hide it for as long as I can. Its been hard, pregnancy has been hard on me. I have had major morning sickness, body ache, headaches and many, many mood swings which Joe usually got the raff of. I hated the way it was making me feel but when our baby is born I know it would all be worth it. If that was not bad enough, Joe was away again for two weeks, still another four days until he comes home. He had more promo to do…more gigs…interviews ect… I hated it but I could never tell him that.
I was just relaxing on the sofa, bored out of my head when my phone started ringing. I smiled when I see Joe’s photo flashes across. I quickly answered
“Hey baby, I miss you like crazy.” I said as soon as I answered, making him laugh
“Hey sweetheart. I miss all three of you, that being you, baby bump and Winston.” Joe said
“We all miss you too Joey.” I said, a little sad
Joe and I spoke about the baby, Joe wanting every little update about the baby and I. I loved how he always done when he was one the phone. After we spoke about that I heard him letting out a loud sigh.
“I hate this but I am going to be away for longer than I though.” Joe said
“WHAT?” I said, a little pissed off
I heard him taking a few deep breaths and he was properly running his fingers through his hair
“It’s only two extra days Mal, please don’t get mad at me.” Joe said, a worried tone in his voice
And then just like that I lost it. I hate mood swings
“DON’T GET MAD? JOE TWO WEEKS IT BAD ENOUGH AND NOW A COUPLE OF EXTRA DAYS. GOD I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS PREGNANCY BY MYSELF SINCE THE FUCKING START.” I screamed at him down the phone, tears beginning to fall
“You know that is not true, I have been there too. You knew what my life would be like before you got with me, so you have no right to get mad at me.” Joe replied, trying to keep his voice calm
I was angry…upset…emotional…hormonal, all that mixed together is a big no - no.
“I understand that Joe but Christ I am pregnant with your child what do you expect?” I said, trying to stay calm for the sake of the baby
“Mallory I don’t wanna argue with you baby. Please don’t get mad or upset. You know I would be there all the time if I could.” he said, softly
The soft tone in his voice pissed me off
“Too later for that Joe” I hissed before hanging up the phone and throwing down on the sofa. I let out a loud groan before screaming into the pillow. Joe kept ringing my phone over and over again but I just ignored cause I would completely lose it if I spoke to him again. After twenty minutes he gave up calling but my phone beeped with a text. I grabbed it opening it
From Joey
Baby I really am sorry. I love you both so much. I can understand you being angry at me but hopefully we can talk later. Love you beautiful, forever and always xxxx
A small smile appeared on my face, all the anger disappearing. What? I can not help it, he is just adorable and know how to tug on my heart strings. I decided to text him back
To Joey
I know you are. I am sorry for blowing up on you and hanging up. I just hate you not being here, don’t want you to miss anything. I will call you later love you so much and so does baby bump xxx
I knew he would not text back straight away cause he had a show to and would be getting ready for that. I just lay on the sofa, crying. I think what I hated the most was not having him with me, it hurt like a bitch. As I laid on the sofa crying I heard the doorbell going. I hesitated, wondering who it would be but decided to go answer it. I could not help my roll my eyes when I seen Denise standing in front of me.
“Is my son here?” she said, glaring at me
“Does it look it?” I said trying not to sound to bitchy
Denise looked at me for a second before a small smile appeared on her face
“Your pregnant. I can tell by just look at you, you have the glow.” she smiled sweetly
Why was she being sweet?
“Yes I am. We were going to tell you all when Joe got back. You don’t have to act nice cause I am carrying your grandchild. No matter how much you hate me, I would not stop you seeing mine and Joe’s child. I am not a bad person, even know you all think it.” I said, trying to hold the tears back
Denise stepped forward, pulling me in for a hug. I was in so much shock it took me a few seconds to hug back. Why was she hugging me? Once we pulled away, I stood their stunned, making her laugh a little.
“Mallory I know I have not been the nicest person in the world to you. I am really sorry about that. Joe has been hurt so many times and I hate seeing him broken, I was just protecting my baby boy and that you will understand when the little one is born. Can I come in so we can talk please?” she smiled
I nodded my head, smiled and invited her in. I led her through to the living room, making us a cup of tea before taking a seat on the sofa.
“Denise I understand that you are protecting him but the way you have been treated me really hurt. I have never done anything wrong to you. I was just a child when you last seen me. I love Joe with all my heart and he loves me. It would be a lot easier and would make us both a lot happier if you all managed to accept us.” I said
“I know it was very wrong of me. Again I am really sorry. I can see how in love you both are. I guess I am just scared of losing another one of my baby boys to a woman. I am happy for you both about the baby. I am guessing the crying and the screaming was caused by Joe being away all the time?” she said and I nodded
“I know it will be hard but you have me here if you need anything. I am sure if you made everyone else realise how much you and Joe are in love they would be here for to.” she smiled
“Thank you, that means a lot to me.” I smiled
Denise and I sat for the next two hours sorting everything out between us. I knew she was truly sorry about everything. I don’t see the point of holding grudges, you only live once after all. We spoke about the baby, about the boys, about my family. It was like she was really trying to get to know me and I the same with her. I knew how much Denise meant to Joe and I wanted to get along with her for Joe’s sake, well now Joe’s and the baby sake.
I was just hoping everyone else would accept us the way Denise finally had. What I am looking forward to is telling Joe about his mom visit, her will be very shocked that I can tell you. Maybe everything was going to be alright after all.
