Crazy Love

Chapter 20

Mitch's POV

"Baaaaaaaaabeeee." Lilac moans.

"Whaaaaaaaat?" I moan back.

"I don't feel good."

She's laying on the bed, curled into a ball.

"What's wrong?"

"My stomach."

She rolls over onto her back. I slid out of my chair and next to her.

"Want me to rub your back?" I ask, pulling up my sleeves.

"Yes please." She nods.

I push her hair to the side. I pull up her shirt and rub her back.

"Your hands are warm." She said softly.

I feel her muscles relax. I massage her back for about 10 minutes.

"Thanks." She says, starting to turn back over.

"Welcome."

I gave her a kiss the second she got onto her back.

"You know what we need to do?" She asks.

"What?"

"Get a room ready for this little girly." She runs her hand over her belly.

"Oh, yeah," my voice was drawn out. "I, kinda, forgot, about her."

"Forgot?!? How could you forget about your daughter?!?!" Her voice was rising.

"She may not be-"

"Well you are going to be her dad whether she really is yours or not!!"

"I'm sorry-"

"Sure." She had her arms crossed.

"We need to start thinking of names too."

"Adam said he'd be thinking of some."

"Ok.."

"Do you have a problem with that?" She asked.

"No, it's just-"

"Adam my be the real father of the baby!"

"So? This is our-"

"So now you are agreeing with her being our daughter huh?"

"Yes. Please-"

"Please what?"

"Please stop being mad."

"I'm not mad. Just frustrated."

She uncrossed her arms. She lifted her head up. Her eyes wide and full of sorrow.

"I'm sorry."

She runs up to me, straight into my open arms. I feel her tears soak through my shirt.

"It's ok. Shhhhhhh." I rub her back and stroke my hand through her long, brown hair.

"Can we shop for the little one tomorrow?" She looked up at me, eyes red and tears dripping down her face.

"Yes, yes we can." I said as I wiped away her tears.

"Thank you." She buried her head into my chest.

"But we need some sleep."

I gently push her down onto the bed. She crawls over to her side as I take off my shirt. I get under the covers. She already has her head on her pillow and her eyes are closed. I pull her close to me and put my arm around her.

"I love you." I whisper into her ear.

"Love you too." She whispers back.
