Just Another Happy Ending

Chapter 45: When Daddy's Gone

I roll in my sleep sighing when I feel the beds empty I frown opening my eyes. Another two months and a week has gone by so I'm now twenty-five weeks. I rub my eyes sitting up. I hear the water running in the bathroom and I get happy he's still here. When I here the water turn off my heart drops.

Eventually he steps out with a towel around his waist and I bite my lip. He smiles seeing me. "Hey babe. Sleep okay?" I sigh. "As good as I can with a baby in your stomach." He laughs kissing my head. "Are you getting ready for school?" He nods pulling on a pair of boxers letting the towel drop once there on.

I frown softly feeling that funny feeling in my stomach. I had one of his shirts on and a pair of my underwear that the shirt covered. I stand heading over to him. "Teagan doesn't want you to go." I say pulling his hands onto my stomach. He smiles kissing me before squatting to be even with my stomach.

"Teagan daddy loves you a lot but daddy has to leave for school..." She kicks and I fold my arms as he looks up at me. "Daddy is doing this for you and mommy okay. I'll be back in a couple hours..." She kicks harder this time making me take a breath. He sighs kissing my stomach.

He stands and I frown. "I don't want you to go either." He kisses me. "Baby I know okay? I want to stay and I don't want you or her to be mad at me but I have to go so that I can keep the both of you safe and happy for the rest of our lives. You know this. You can text me as many times as you want. I'll even call when I can." I kiss him. "I love you and Teagan will understand one day." He smiles. "I love you too baby girl."

He steps past me to get dressed and I sigh holding my stomach. "Teagan I know you want him here and so do I but he's doing this so that we can take care of you. He's doing this for us." My stomach calms and I know she's telling me that she's okay with him going even though she doesn't want to be.

"Okay well I should get going before I'm late." I touch him and he pulls me into a hug. "I'll call when I can but text whenever okay?" I nod. "We'll miss you." He kisses my head. "I'll miss you both even more." There's a pause and he pulls away from me with a smile. "I left some money on the bedside table if you guys get hungry. I'm going to lock the doors and I'll be back later."

I nod and grains back down to kiss my clothes stomach. "I love you princess." I run my fingers through his hair and when he stands I pull his lips to mine and they roughly move together. He sets his face in my neck. I sigh. "Why can't you just stay? God..." He smiles kissing me again. "When I come back okay?"

I sigh. "Don't make a promise you won't keep." He kisses my beck before sucking a love bite into it. "I promise okay?" I groan as he pulls back. "God you irritate me Evan." He frowns. "I can never win. I love you and I'll do anything you want to make it up to you but I have to go babe."

I pull his face down to me sucking a harsh love bite into his neck. "Make sure you come home to us." He smiles. "I wouldn't dream of going home to anyone else. I love you both. Get some more sleep. I'll see you later." I nod watching as he takes his things leaving. I watch him back out from the window and eventually I climb back into bed. I cry and I take a picture sending it to him.

'This is what the baby does to me when you leave.' He doesn't reply right away and it's because he's driving. 'Baby girl I'm so sorry. I know this is hard but I love you and I need you to stay strong for me.' I sigh. 'You're right Evan. She just doesn't understand that. She gets so sad when you leave. I'm gonna take a nap or at least try. Just call when you can.' His response was quick.

'You know I will baby. I'm sorry...' I don't say anything I just close my eyes trying to sleep. Eventually I doze and when I wake up my phones ringing. "Hello?" I say in a sleepy voice. "God I wish I could see you right now. You probably just look so beautiful." I smile softly. "Evan...I'm cold." He sighs. "Baby it's only a few hours left and I'll be home." She kicks me and I frown. I feel her move a lot and I sigh.
