A Part Of Him, A Part Of Me

Chapter 6

I wake up with a start and run to the bathroom next day. I am already over this morning sickness. 

Jake is right behind me, holding my hair back and rubbing my back. When I am finally done with my throwing up, I wash my mouth out and turn around to hug Jake. 

He smiles at me and graciously pulls me into his arms. We stand like that for a few minutes before Jake sighs and pulls away. 

"I wish I could hold you all day, but we have to get ready for school." He says. 

"I know." I say sadly. 

I turn around and start the shower water. While that is heating up, I push Jake out of the bathroom and then strip out of my clothes, putting them into the hamper. 

Getting into the now hot shower, I quickly wash my body and hair. Once I am finished, I turn the water off and squeeze the water out of my hair, then wrap my body in a towel. 

I quickly dry off and then walk into the closet, grabbing my outfit for today. I decide on some nice dark wash jeans and a white long sleeved shirt that has black stripes on it. 

Walking back into the bathroom, I grab some undergarments and quickly get dressed. I open the door and Jake comes in, getting ready for his shower. 

While he is in the shower, I put on my makeup and blow dry my hair. When I'm done in the bathroom, I walk into the closet and grab a pair of sandals, quickly slipping them on. 

Then I walk into the bedroom and make the bed quickly. After I'm finished with that, I pick up my bags and walk into the kitchen. As I get in there, I see a poster hanging on the wall.

You may be the mother of my baby, but you are also the love of my life. Would you do me the greatest favor of accompanying me to homecoming?

I smile at the note. It's our last homecoming dance and we have been to one every year, why change that now?

"So, what do you say?" Jake's voice says from behind me. I turn around to see Jake, fully dressed. 

"Well of course I want to go with you." I tell him, smiling. 

"This is for you." He tells me, pulling a banquet of flowers out from behind his back.

"When did you do all of this?"I ask him, graciously taking the flowers from him and getting a vase from under the sink.

"Well, this morning I had the girls bring over the flowers that I had picked out while you were in the shower and then I did the poster last night after you fell asleep." 

"You are something else. I love you Jake." I tell him, smiling. 

"And I love you gorgeous." I blush fiercely and he laughs. 

We both get some cereal and eat quickly, before grabbing our things and heading our separate ways to our cars. 

I put the stuff in the backseat and then make my way to school. If you're wondering, Justin rides the bus to school now. He isn't very excited about it. 

Once I get to school, I get out of the car and grab my things, then lock my car. I walk into the band hall and put my things up. I grab my flute again and make my way over to the chair and begin to play, like normal.

Soon enough, school starts, starting the beginning of a very long day.

After school, I walk to the band hall and grab my bag and walk to a bathroom. I then change into my HEB uniform for work. I tuck in the red shirt into the khaki pants and slip on some red shoes. I pull my hair into a high ponytail and then stuff everything else back into my bag, then walk back to the band hall.
