Thank You For Saving Me // Stauren

chapter forty

Lauren's P.O.V
I was rushing. Rushing around trying to get packed for tomorrow. Unfortunately, even though I hate to admit it, I was under a lot of stress and it was weighing down hard.
I had the appointment for the baby, Jay still being around making me paranoid, and the holiday. But to be honest, the holiday is needed. Too much stress, equals moody Lauren.

"Hey Lauren? You seen my passport? I looked in the draw but nothing." Steven said as he walked into the bedroom with a carefree vibe, which was the total opposite of what I was feeling. But all I did was point. I still had my hands full as I packed more clothes. "Laur?" I heard him say after he stopped walking to where I pointed.

"Hmm??" I mumbled bluntly, not wanting any distractions as I packed the clothes that needed to be in the case.

"Lauren." He exclaimed, but this time, less happy and more strict meaning he's actually starting to get agitated at my attitude.

"Yes? Yes? What?" I said also getting agitated and annoyed just from the stress. It's all I've been lately. Stressed out. And it's really affecting my social life.

"We need to go" he answered but this time, less annoyed and more calm. To be honest, I think he just didn't want me to snap and start a fight.

"Yeah I know." I sighed also starting to calm down. If he didn't talk more calmer, there's a chance we would've had a fight which isn't something I'd want in this situation.
I finished the last part packing, I rushed to the door and shoved my shoes on with Steven following behind. I jumped into the passenger seat with Steve then sitting in the driver side.

"So?  How is it? Is it okay?" I asked frantically as we looked at the screen to see the baby; the only thought in my head was if it was healthy. Usually, you'd think about what gender it is? Or what names it's gonna be? Or maybe just enjoy the moment. No. Not me.

"It's fine. But you need to get your stress levels down before the baby gets aggravated or distressed. All I can say is, rest up, take some vitamins and have a stress free break."  The brunette nurse sincerely replied as she answered my question.

"Actually, we were planning on going to Hawaii tomorrow for a break, will she be able to fly? I don't want anything happen while we're miles in the air." Steven butted in with a good question which was also on my mind. But all I did was throw him a small glare from reminding me how high up you are in the plane. Flying is like a murder mystery TV show, your just waiting for something bad to happen .

"As long as she keeps calm and doesn't panic, I don't see any problem that could stop you. If anything, it's a good idea to get away for awhile."  The nurse answered yet another question earning a nod from both me and Steve.
"Alright then, I'll see you in a few month for your next appointment" she said with a smile as we made our way out.

When we got back, I went straight back to the bedroom to pack some more clothes not acknowledging what the nurse said. After around five minutes, Steven walked in as I heard him sigh.

"Lauren?" He said as he leant against the door frame and crossed his arms, obviously not happy with what u was doing.

"Yeah? What's up? Is it important or not because I really--" I was close to finishing my sentence when I got cut off by his annoyed tone.

"Didn't you listen to the nurse? You need to take some time off." He said in a tone that wasn't angry but wasn't happy either.

"I know and I will... When I've finished packing." I rushed out the last part as I continued to get clothes out.

"No.." He sighed before he stepped closer. "That's not what she meant and you know it. Look, you have all the clothes you want out right?" He said as I nodded. "Then you can go and make yourself some tea, sit on the couch and watch a movie or something, okay? And I'll finish packing"

"Woah woah woah! Have you seen your packing skills? Everything will be screwed up and jammed in." I fought back with a well known fact.

He placed his hands on my shoulders and exclaimed "I promise I'll fold them. Alright? Now go"

"Alright, alright" I sighed as I walked out of the bedroom, made myself a drink and sat on the sofa. I'm not going to lie, being able to sit down and take a break was amazing. I had been so busy with the short notice holiday and with Steven's party that was literally yesterday, (which I still can't believe I pulled it off) that I hadn't been able to look after myself. But I know, in a day or two, I'll be better. Me and Steven will be happier than we were today, I'll get to see Emily and the others, and just generally have fun.

All I need is this break.
