I got up and went through my usual morning routine. After I was done I went to the kitchen. When I got there I saw Braxton wasn't down yet. Guess he's still asleep. I fixed myself breakfast and went to the living room.
I was watching cartoons when Braxton came down. The phone rang and he answered it.
"Hello...What?...Uh huh...Yes...I'll make sure to do that...Thank you goodbye." he said.
I wonder what that phone call was about. Braxton came into the living room and took the remote away from me before turning the tv off.
"Why'd you do that?" I cried.
"Why didn't you tell me you're pregnant?" he asked.
"Because it isn't any of your business."
"You're living with me so it is my business."
"No It's not. Now turn the tv back on."
"How long have you known?"
He was calm when he said it but for some reason that made me scared.
"Two days." I said.
"I want to help Phoebe. You have to tell me what's going on so I can." he said.
"I'm sorry. Braxton tell me what to do." I sobbed.
He sat on the couch next to me and pulled me onto his lap.
"First you're going to calm down because it's not good for the baby. Then we're going to go take a drive somewhere okay?" he said trying to calm me down.
"Okay." I said.
After I calmed down Braxton took me to the mall. We went to the baby store.
"What are we doing here?" I asked.
"Don't you want to get stuff for the baby?" he asked.
There were cute things for boys and girls. If only I knew what I was having.
"What are you going to do?" Braxton asked.
"Huh?" I asked.
"Are you keeping the baby, giving it up for adoption, or..."
"I'm keeping it."
"Then we should get the furniture. You can get clothes after you find out what you're having."
We walked to the furniture section. There were a lot of things to choose from.
"I'll go get someone to help." Braxton said.
A few seconds later he came back with a lady.
"Hi. What can I help you with?" she asked.
She had a nice smile.
"I'll be back I have to go get something." Braxton said before disappearing.
"Classical nervous first time dad move leaving the furniture to the mom. Is this your first child?" she said.
"Yea." I said.
"Well they're all pretty much the same the only difference is the color."
She helped me pick out a crib, stroller, rocker, playpen, and whatever else I would need. She was ringing me up when Braxton came back.
"I got this." Braxton said.
"I'll pay you back." I said.
"No you won't this is a gift."
"You two are so cute. I bet you argue about whether it's going to be a boy or girl." the lady said.
We looked at her. Did we really look like a couple to her? Is this how other people saw us? After we were done Braxton put everything in his car. He didn't even let me help.
When we got home it took him about an hour to get everything out the car. He put everything in my room for now.
"Braxton I want to go to the prison and see my mom." I said.
"Phoebe." he said.
"I know I don't have to but I want to."
He grabbed his keys and we headed for the prison.
