Today was a nice, and quiet day. I helped Tyrece around the house and learned one thing. This boy can not keep still at all! It was starting to drive me insane.
Even when he needed his bandages changed. He was jumpy and very talkative. I wondered the whole day...
Why can't this man sit down?
I was sitting on the couch when suddenly I felt one side sink. I look over to see him and give a small smile. I turned back to the book I was reading and felt the couch drop again. This time he is just a little closer. He continues to do this until he is right next to me. When I look up for the last time, he quickly wraps his arms around me and pulls into his side.
"What are you doing?" I say tired.
"I'm hugging my girlfriend, and you?" He said with a smile so big he had to close his eyes.
"Being annoyed by a huge puppy." I said in the same bored, tired tone.
"Wow! That must be amazing!"
"Not really." I say quickly and then push him away.
I was very tired from his crazy, energetic attitude and I needed it to stop for just a second.
"Tyrece, why don't you go play with you brothers?" I say holding him at arm's length. He kept in trying to hug me.
"They said I was annoying." He replied pouting.
"Well, you are."
When I said that he frowned. I swear he is trying to make me give in, and hate to admit it but it's working.
"I don't like you." I said as I let him hug me.
"I love you too! My little pretty." When he said that I looked at him like he was crazy. That sounded a little creepy.
We sat there for a little bit. It was nice. I was reading and he was just holding me. It was very relaxing. We stayed there until his parents came home.
"How are you doing?" His mom said as soon as she walked in.
"Oh. I'm fine mo-" his mother pushed pass him.
"I was talking to you, stupid." She said walking him on the head. She turned back to me looking worried.
I was at least a month into my pregnancy, and I was starting to show.
I had started to fully experience my symptoms unlike before. I had also started to have trouble sleeping as well. I would only get one to two hours at a time.
"I am doing okay," I said giving her a reassuring smile, " I took a long nap today after lunch, and it was easier to keep the food down."
That was another thing. I could barely keep my food down when I ate lunch. The doctor said it was normal, but I don't know. It only ever happened at lunch.
"That is very good! I know the doctor said it was okay, but I couldn't help, but worry about you. I could barely focus on work!"
" I feel bad for worrying you so much." She has been taking great care of me while I was here I'd hate to stress her out.
"Oh, don't honey. It isn't your fault... It is this one's right here." She said smiling and pointing at my stomach. " He knows exactly what to do to make me worry."
When she said that everyone began to laugh softly. She was right. Little bun bun knew exactly what to do to make everyone worry, and he wasn't even born yet.
*Flashback*
"Hi." I said to Tyrece's mom.
I had just woken up when I smelt her cooking.
" Oh dear, what are you doing up so early?" She said worry written all over her face.
"I couldn't sleep very well, and I smelt you cooking so I decided to join you."
" Oh no, it's okay I got this." She said starting to show me out of the kitchen.
"It's not too much work." I said trying to get back inside.
" It's not that. Everytime you decide to help food always goes missing!" She said laughing.
I blushed. It didn't happen all the time just...most of the time.
"Okay." I said giving up.
I went over to the couch to take a nap until she was done.
About a half an hour later, I wake up in so much pain.
I groan once, and immediately hear footsteps. She and all the boys are next to me in an instant.
"What's wrong, Evie? Can I get you anything?" She said checking me all over.
" It hurts." I say holding my stomach.
She runs out the room and returns with ice from the ice box.
"Someone call the doctor." She says looking panic-stricken.
All the boys rush to the kitchen, even Tyrece's father.
*End of Flashback*
"Okay, I'm gonna start making dinner. You want a snack, Evie?"
"I'm okay." I reply smiling bright.
"Okay," she replies and walks away.
This was nice. It was a very relaxed day. There weren't many of these while I was pregnant. I was starting to question if this baby was a good or bad thing.
Then I looked at Tyrece and his family. I saw how happy they were when they talked about the baby, and how excited they were to meet it. I realized that it was a good thing. This baby made them so happy, it made me so happy. That is a good thing.
It may have not been planned, but it was one amazing gift to me and everyone here right now.
I couldn't ask for a single thing better.
