When Darkness Falls

T H I R T Y - F I V E

I haven't seen Justin in a couple of weeks but that doesn't mean I haven't been able to feel his presence.

I felt safe for the time being and I didn't need anything really. My pregnancy was going swell and I was still terrified to become a mother but I heard that once you have your baby, you know exactly what to do. It's like everything you never knew about being a parent comes to you and suddenly you know how to do everything and anything.

Don't get me wrong, I know I'll need to learn a few things along the way.

"Well everything looks good. I suggest taking more of those prenatal vitamins. I want this baby to be healthy so make sure that you're getting the necessary nutrients." My doctor explained as I wiped the gooey gel off of my bump. I slid my shirt back down and sat up.

"Will do, doc. Thank you." I smiled at him and he nodded. He took his clipboard and left Shelley and I alone.

She let out a sigh and grabbed my hand."I'm so excited." She whispered out. I thought I saw a tear slip from her eye but maybe I'm just crazy.

I giggled."Me too. But I'm also hungry so let's go get something to eat." She nodded and rose from her chair in the corner of the room.

I slid off of the bed and followed aunt Shelley out of the room and down the hallway to the receptionist.

"You're next appointment is December fifth at twelve in the afternoon. Does this sound good?" The older woman asked with a genuine smile.

"Sounds perfect." I replied and rubbed my growling stomach. She handed me a piece of paper with the date and time of my next appointment and I followed Shelley to the car that was parked out front of the small building.

We sat inside and Shelley turned on the heat.

Being in Georgia in November was absolutely hell. I know I moved here from New York but I forgot how cold it gets in the winter months.

I guess I'd gotten sidetracked with things.

We decided on a small diner on the outskirts of town and sat in a small booth towards the back of the restaurant.

I looked over the menu and found exactly what I wanted as soon as my eyes landed on it. I could feel my stomach clenching with hunger as the smell of food wafted through the air.

"What can I get for you ladies today?" The waiter questioned.

Shelley looked at me to order first and I didn't oblige.

"I'll have a nine ounce porterhouse steak. I want it rare, as rare as possible. I'd like a side of French fries with that." I handed him my menu and gave him a smile.

Aunt Shelley ordered a simple house salad and a side of sweet potato fries.

"You never eat your steak rare?" She gave me a questioning look.

"I know. I just feel like I need to remember that this baby is Justin's too. We both know what he is..." I whispered out the last part. I took a gulp of my water and let out a sigh.

I missed being with him. I miss his scent and his over protectiveness. I miss his smile and the way his eyes light up when he gets excited. I miss everything and anything that has to do with Justin Bieber.

I can't deny that I wanted him here with me but as I know and as Justin knows, it's too dangerous.

"Are you okay, Ana?" Shelley wondered as she fiddled with the edge of her paper napkin.

I gulped back the saliva in my mouth to moisten my dry throat and smiled at her reassuringly."Yeah, I'm fine."

She nodded but I could tell she was unsure of herself and my answer.
