Leah Jones was the simplest and in her opinion, the most messed up girl in her class. She had an abusive family, and was bullied. Then, she was discovered by the one guy every other girl in her school wanted to date. Devan Key. He treated her like s...
Leah's POV I sat on Collins's bed, watching as him and Devan as they did a fifth Try Not To Laugh video. There were so many videos with babies, and the crazy things that happened to them. They finished the video, and I looked up at them.
"If either of you two ever do any of that stuff to this baby, you're dead." Collins nodded slowly, and Devan was clearly biting down a laugh. "Not a problem. And are we going to go ahead and tell him baby's name?" I shrugged, sitting up. "We can tell him if he goes and gets me a bowl of ice cream." He was out the door and literally sliding (more like falling) down the stairs. Devan laughed, sitting down beside me.
"Still kicking?" I shook my head, and then felt a kick. I snorted, looking down. "Well, thanks a lot. You don't kick during the day, but you do when I'm trying to sleep and when your daddy asks. That's nice of you." He laughed, gently squeezing my hand, and I leaned against him. Collins came back in the room, and handed me the bowl.
"Thank you. Now....You wanted to hear the baby's name, right?" He gave me a look, and I chuckled. "I'll take that as a yes. And it's Emerson Rose." He started at us for a minute, and then grinned. "It's a girl....Yes!! It's a girl!!" I couldn't help but laugh, watching my brother-in-law bounce around his room, shouting 'It's a girl'. Then, Devan tried to stick his finger in my ice cream and get some. I smacked his hand, and he gave me almost puppy-dog eyes. I glared at him, and his eyes widened slightly.
"Not. A. Chance." He slowly started scooting away from me, and Collins chuckled, watching. I turned to him, one eyebrow raised, and he nearly tripped over his own feet moving backwards. I heard Anne yelling downstairs, hollering at Collins.
"Collins!! I told you to take the trash out!! Come do it!!" He scrambled out, nearly falling down the stairs. "On my way!!" I chuckled, standing and heading downstairs, Devan following. It was sweet, and kind of funny how worried he got about me and Emerson sometimes. Of course, he had a reason to be worried, but that didn't make it any less sweet. Today, I was wearing one of my favorite shirts, which Anne had actually given to me a couple weeks ago.

I knew it wasn't Halloween, but I loved the shirt, it was comfortable, and I wore it anyways. After Collins got back in, he turned on the Wii, which started am argument about whether or not Devan was better at Mario Kart than he was. So, they started racing. I sat on the sofa, watching and laughing as they raced, yelled, slammed into each other, and just acted like brothers. Finally, it was proved to Collins that Devan was better at Mario Kart......And then they started arguing about who was better at Call Of Duty. I sighed, leaning back on the couch and eating my half-melted ice cream. I didn't even need the tv on. Emerson and I had all the entertainment we needed right in front of us. I gently rubbed my stomach, smiling.
"Don't worry, sweet girl. This is completely normal. Well, I wouldn't call your dad and uncle normal, but this is normal for them." I felt a little kick, and smiled. We were almost there. I was ready to meet my baby girl, my little miracle.
