Amy's Point of View:

     33 missed calls. 28 Unopened text messages. I drop my phone back to the couch and bury my head into the throw pillow provided, A heavy feeling taking a hold of my stomach for a moment but quickly going back to normal. As I lift my head off of the stiff pillow, My hand reaches for my phone again picking it up and opening it up to reveal all of the missed calls and messages. They all expressed the same emotion Scared, Worry, Anxiety, and Sadness. My thumb clicks the empty text bubble provided for me to type and stare at the blinking line, Seeming to mock me. I set like that for a few minutes more, Not knowing if I should even reply anything at all. The mocking line continues before suddenly disappearing as I type what comes through my unclear, fuzzy head. My thumb clicks the send button before shutting off my phone, Brushing my hands through my hair, and throwing it back on the couch as I stand and go to the washroom.

     The hot water against my tight muscles feels more amazing then I can describe. I stayed in the shower for longer than I probably should have but I lost track of the time and didn't realize how long I was really in there until I got out. Since I don't really plan to leave Tyler and Eve's apartment today, Grey sweatpants and a loose black tank top are the comfy clothes I decide on. I look in the mirror and make my tank top press tightly against my stomach so I'm able to see my bump. It hasn't gotten much bigger than when I did this a few days ago but I can see a difference. I rub my hand over my bump before loosing my tank top back out and pressing my hand to the warm doorknob.

     "Hello Amy" Eve says, Smiling as she walks through the door "You cleaned?" She says, looking around the small area of her apartment. I stand, walking over to take Blair out of her arms "Sure did" I smile, Looking down at Blair. I hear the door click shut as I walk back to the couch, Making silly faces at Blair. Eve follows behind me into the tiny living area "You didn't have to do that" She sits on the love seat with a plop "You're our guest" I look over to her and see her smile. Even though she said she didn't want me to and I shouldn't, I know she appreciates it "I had to get my mind off everything going on somehow" I shrug, Cuddling Blair in my arms "Where's Tyler?" I ask, Looking up at her as Blair falls asleep in my arms. Clicking her phone off, it plops onto her stomach "Managing Marks work stuff" She shrugs "Apperently his mind is all screwed and can't think straight" She says, picking up her phone again. I nod my head and focus my attention back to Blair in my arms, Trying to ignore the heavy feeling in my stomach.

     "Tyler!" I speed walk down the hall "Where did you put Blair's bottle?" I yell, Bouncing Blair gently up and down in my arms as I try to smooth her screaming. I can hear Tyler's heavy footsteps walking through the living area frantically "I have it!" He yells flustered "I'm heating it!" I walk across the living area and into the kitchen to stand beside him. Blair continues to scream in my arms angrily as I continue to bounce her. Eve left a little while ago to go to the store for dinner tonight and I was laying down with Blair peacefully, Until she started screaming. The beep of the microwave goes off and Blair stops for a moment and meets her big blue eyes with mine only to begin screaming a moment later. Tyler takes the bottle from the microwave and tests the temperature on his wrist "How is it" I ask, Blowing a loose piece of hair out of my eye. Tyler shrugs, Handing the bottle off to me before going to the sink and wiping the milk off his wrist. Turning on my heels I walk out of the kitchen and place the bottle into Blairs mouth, A few moments later when I reach the couch she stops and quietly sucks down the milk. I stare at her for a few moments before setting on the couch with my head against the back, Suddenly scared that this is quickly king to be my reality.

     Once Eve got back to the apartment, She began to cook the items she had picked up at the grocery store. The sound of something frying in a pan suddenly became the noise throughout the rest of the place. Occasionally she got frustrated and Tyler would go in and help until she shooed him off. All the while, I sat on the couch with sleeping Blair in my arms. She has yet to wake up since I gave her the bottle but sleeping peacefully with her little head nuzzled against my shirt. If I wasn't staring and being jealous of her tiny features, I would run my fingers through the tiny pieces of hair that she had making a mow hawk. Suddenly the sound of the frying ended and the sound of plates hitting the counter replaced it. Hearing Eve smile as she talks, Like she always does "Ames" I see her head peek out from the side of the kitchen wall "Dinners ready" She whisper talks, As if the sound of the frying bothered Blair's sleeping. I nod my heads towards her and smile as I stand to my feet and walk Blair to her bassinet, Laying her down gently to rest while the 'adults' eat.

     "Are you sure you're ok sleeping on the couch?" Eve asks, Handing off a fresh pile of blankets. I nod as I take them from her "This is great" I say as I make eye contact with her "Thank you for letting me crash here" I say as I look to the couch, beginning to place my blankets how I want them. I hear her sigh and imagine her running her hands through her hair "What ever you say" She half laughs "Just remember I can always get Tyler to make up an emergency at the office so you can sleep in your own bedroom" She laughs and so do I. Laying out my last blanket I walk closer to Eve and give her a hug "Thank you again" I laugh and so does she, Pulling away. "It's our pleasure" She smiles, Rubbing my arm in true mom form "Sleep well" She whispers walking out of the living room. I smile and cover my self with the blankets provided, Hoping to get some sleep tonight.

So, I needed a week off. I needed a week off to get back into the groove of school, People at school,blah blah blah, and again more excuses I keep making. You have done nothing exempt supported me throughout this entire book and I want to create great chapters that you look forward to reading. That being said, I came up with a new updating schedule that allows mw to do that. For now on I will post Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm so sorry for not explaining my absents but I'm back now. For good. While I was away we hit 17k! Thats so amazing and the last little push I needed to get back into this. Thank you loves for everything. I hope you enjoyed this read.
