One Night

Chapter 25

*not edited*

I run my hand over the freshly dried light blue wall. Drew was painting a detailed tree in the corner of the room that takes up the corner and branches out onto the walls. "It looks amazing," I breathe. The one thing Drew was good at that he didn't brodcast out there was painting. He hummed and switched paint brushes putting the handel of the one he was just using between his lips. He mixed lighter shades of brown together and painted tiny letters of O and D together with a heart around them. I took the paint bush from his lips but he tried to follow it making grunting sounds. I freed it from his lips and kissed them lightly. "I love it," I told him.

It took him a week to finish the intricate branches and was finishing the trunk details in the corner where the crib would go. He smiled and kissed me lightly before going back to what he was doing. I started folding clothes that Casey and I have started buying. We didn't buy anything for our kids but for the others.

"Want to go out for dinner tonight with Casey and Holden?" He yelled as I was walking down the stairs . "Sure," I called back. I switched the laundry and went for a shower. Getting out of the shower was a trick though. I nearly slipped but some how Drew flashed into the room and caught me. "Uh, thanks," I mumbled.

I haven't let him touch or hold me since the fight; I let him kiss me but wouldn't let him touch me. "I miss holding you," he whispered. "I miss holding you and him before falling asleep."

I shook my head and stood up fixing my towel. "Do not try to guilt me," I tell him. "I'm not-"

"But you are! You screwed up, it's your own fault." He sighed and rubbed his hand down his stubbly jaw. I sighed and waddled out of the bathroom to my room. I put on a pair of warm tights and a nice baige knitted jumper Casey bought me weeks ago. I find it funny that I'm so much bigger than she is but we're as far along as each other.

"You ready?" Drew asked dryly. I nodded and quickly pulled my long blue hair back into a braid. "You look gorgeous," he whispered before I got to the door. "Well would you help me with my shoes?" I asked him. He smiled and grabbed my black uggs slipping one on then the other. "These are the things I love doing, the simple things, holding your hand, helping yo uwith your shoes-"

"Well I would need you to help me with my shoes of you weren't a damn giant," I mumbled. "What?" He asked completly clueless. "Obviously he's going to be tall like you, he's huge- like you," I told him. He chuckled and helped me down the stairs and to my car. It was awfully quiet the way to the resturant. I struggled to get out of the car and again Drew had to help me. I sighed and trudged up to the front doors of the resturant where Casey and Holden were walking up to. "Hey!" Casey and I waddled to each other and hugged squishing our large bellies together. Drew jerked his head inside as he bounced on the balls of his extremly large feet. We walked in and were brought towards the back of the resturant then I saw the baby banner. Blue and pink covered every where. Casey held my hand tight and grinned. "Happy baby shower-thing!" Trena cheered. All of "our family" was there. Brent, Jeremy, Val, Kyle, Jagger, Trena, Trena's sister Tara, McKenna, Grandmama Olive, Poppy Olive, Casey's grandparents, Matt, Dianna, My Dad and Donnie; but what shocked me the most was my sister, sitting miserably in the corner of the room.

There was loads of food. Jen didn't say one word to me though, she came brought a gift and left just like everyone else. We decided to take everything home instead of opening it at the resturant but we had a group photo taken of us all. "Um, is that everyone?" The waiter asked. I looked over at where Jen was siting before she left. "Yeah that's it."

"Say Cheese..."

"Cheese!"

The flash went off and we all went our seperate ways. I smiled the whole ride back to the house but it was still a dense atmosphere between Drew and I. "Can I sleep in bed with you tonight?" He asked quietly. I tensed up and sighed. He's been sleeping on the couch, he's had the opption of sleeping in his bed at the band house but he chose to sleep on the couch here.
