The next day...

Nelly's POV

Grayson decided to stay home with me today, although I told him that he didn't have to, he was persistent. Right now I'm sitting on the couch drinking some orange juice, while trying my best to finish up this essay for college prep, since I didn't get a chance to do it yesterday. Gray walks over to the couch and lay down while putting his head in my lap asking,"You need any help baby?" I shake my head and ask,"No I'm good." He nods and start rubbing my thighs saying,"When are we gonna tell everyone that we're having a baby?"

I bite my bottom lip and say,"Umm I guess as soon as possible.." He saids while looking up at me,"Maybe we can have a little dinner here tomorrow and tell them then. What do you think?" I say,"That sounds good. You gone help me cook?" He saids,"Who said you were cooking?" I say half jokingly,"What, you trynna say I can't cook? Hmm?" He chuckles and say, while reaching his hand inside of my shirt to caress my stomach,"No, of course not! It's just that I don't want you to do too much, you know?"

I say,"But Gray, that's not really doing too much. I'm only cooking. I know you don't want me to be stressed out an all, but baby I can still do things just like I use to. Now I don't know about all that once this baby gets to growing, but as of right now I'm just fine." He nods understandingly then say while turning his attention back to my stomach,"Okay baby girl, if you're fine then I'm fine with it. Hey little buddy! You alright in there?" I smile to myself as I listen to him talk to our unborn child and say,"I don't think he can hear you baby."

He gently kisses my belly then say,"Well of course he can. He may not be fully developed but I know he can sense that I'm near. Isn't that right Grayson Jr. ?" I burst out laughing and say,"Hey, I thought we agreed on Apollo?" He chuckles and say,"Well this is just in case he doesn't like it, he could be Grayson Jr."

I shake my head and say while adding finale touches to my essay,"He's stuck with Apollo rather he likes it or not Gray. Although if you want to change it now, I have some better suggestions." He raises his left eyebrow and ask, while caressing my thigh,"Oh really? And what might those be?" I reach down to run my fingers through his hair and say,"Probably something with both of our names. Like, Nelson, or if it's a girl Grayly. But I really love the name Apollo."

He smiles and say,"You're a genius baby girl, Nelson could probably be for our second boy." I shrug my shoulders and say,"Maybe..."

Finally finishing up my essay, I say while closing my notebook,"Yay! I'm finally done!" He sits up from my lap and say while kissing on my neck,"Thank God, now I have you all to myself." I giggle a little then say, while pulling away to get up from the couch,"Hold on Gray, let me put stuff up first." He groans and say,"Please hurry back." I smile while nodding and kiss his cheek saying,"I won't take long."

After putting my note book away, I walk into our bathroom and splash water on my face feeling completely refreshed from three hours of focus on my essay about the history of Siberia. Taking a glimpse of myself in the mirror as I dab the water off of my face with a towel, I notice how much my skin has cleared from the acne bumps I used to have. I couldn't help but smile at that because I always hated those.

Then I look a little lower and take notice on how much bigger my breast are, and I started to wonder about all of the other physical changes my body would endure during and after pregnancy. I'm not normally an insecure person but now that my body would be changing in a way that I couldn't control scared me and insecurity came right on in.

Would Grayson still look at me the same? All these thoughts of what Grayson would think came flooding into my mind and I don't know if it were my hormones or not but a small tear came down my cheek, but I wiped it away almost as soon as it came down and thought to myself, No. No more crying. Time to put on your big girl panties. You are a mother now, and you sure as hell are gonna be a strong one, so no more tears. I silently nod to myself in the mirror, then walk out of the bathroom and say to Grayson as I plop down next to him on the couch,"So what should we cook for tomorrow?"
