Ava Barton: Life unexpected

Making up

Ava's PoV

It's been two long weeks since Jim kissed me and I told Ross and I'm not kidding, it has felt as if it was two months. I haven't been able to see my girls everyday and waking up next to Ross, but that's been a nightmare within itself. Aaron said he would talk to Ross and I think that's what he's doing today. I'm now 7 months along and means that in two months time, Ross and I will have our little boy with us.

Today, I'm heading into the salon and after what happened a few weeks ago, I haven't been in for a full day's work and I'm scared because Jim's still there, I know I shouldn't really be scared, but to be honest, I'm terrified.

I woke up and put on one of my maternity dresses, I went into the bathroom to start brushing my teeth when a wave of nausea came over me and I'd only just managed to make it to the toilet before I threw up everywhere.

Part way through me throwing up I heard someone come into the bathroom and tie my hair back, it was Liv.

"Are you alright?" She asked me.

"Yes, I'll be fine." I answered groggily.

"You don't look it to me. You've been throwing up for about a week and don't say you've not, because I've heard you." Liv replied, pulling me in for a hug.

I honestly don't know how I feel. Was I throwing up due to the stress of Jim? Or because of the baby?

"If you want, I'll come and help you out at the salon today, no pay too" Liv said to me and I chuckled at the last part.

"You, work for free? I can remember when you asked Aaron could you help out with him and then once you'd finished you begged him to pay you or else" I said, giggling to myself.

"Yeah right, I just thought you could do with the extra pair of hands." She replied.

"Go on then, meet me at my car in ten minutes." I told her.

I walked downstairs to see Aaron sat on the sofa, looking as if he was half asleep. I took this opportunity to sit on top of him and wake him up.

When I sat down on top of him, he tried to jump up, but failed - and he also screamed like a girl.

"What the hell is going on in here?" Mum asked both Aaron and I, I couldn't talk because I was in fits of giggles, so all my words just muddled into laughter.

"She decided that it would be fun to sit on top of me." He said, while trying not to laugh himself.

"It was a good opportunity mum, he was half asleep and I've not done something like that in a while so I thought I would treat him. " I told mum, once I had calmed down from my giggle fit.

"You two are idiots, but I have to love you " she replied to us both.

"We love you too" Aaron and I said simultaneously

Mum then gave us both strange looks and walked off back behind the bar.

"Do you want me to talk to him today?" Aaron asked me, I felt my smile turn to a frown in an instance.

"If you think it would make it better, then go for it. He won't listen to me at all" I told Aaron, trying not to cry in the process.

"Okay, I will do. You don't have to put on a brave face around me though because I know that you're hurting so much because of it. Remember, he came onto you, not the other way round" Aaron said, being brutally honest. I think that's what I needed, someone to remind me that it wasn't my fault.

"Don't get too worried about anything happening today because Liv is coming with me and I think I'm going to let her stay close to me." I told Aaron.
