The Art of Wasting Time ~ g.d.

Violet:

I look at myself in the mirror with a slight sigh. I'm wearing a sports bra and leggings because I'm about to give yoga a try. The doctor said it's good to exercise while pregnant so I picked a laid back exercise.

I didn't realize how big my bump has gotten. It's no where near huge yet but it's definitely noticeable now since I'm pushing 4 months.

Grayson left a little while ago to go run some errands so I think I'm good to go out into the spacious living room.

I can't believe I'm about to do this. I would've never thought I'd try yoga but I want to do what's best for me and the baby right now.

I situate my mat right in middle of the living room while I pull up a video I found on my phone to help walk me through everything.

God I probably look like an idiot. I make sure to stretch so I don't hurt myself.

Once I get into the swing of things the door flies open. Grayson freezes right in front of the door.

I sit on the mat and cross my legs as I face him with a sigh. "What. It's not like I'm naked or anything." I giggle as he continues to stare at me.

"No it's just this is the first time I'm like seeing your bump. You usually always have it covered up." He rambles as he approaches me slightly.

"Yeah. It's weird isn't it." I chuckle at the fact that I used to be really petite before the baby. "Not at all." He says as he crouches down to my level with his keys still in his hand and his jacket on.

"Do you wanna feel it?" I ask hesitantly as he continues to look at it. "Can I?" He ask now taking his jacket off and setting his keys down.

"Yeah. It's not gonna kick or anything yet so don't get too excited." I chuckle. He smiles as he sits in front of me.

He's hesitant when he reaches for my stomach which causes me to smile. Once he finally touches it his eyes light up. "Weird huh?" I ask with a laugh. He just nods as he continues to rub my belly a little bit.

His hands are a little cold which makes me shiver. He's completely fascinated and I can't help but find it cute.

"When do you figure out if it's a boy or a girl?" He ask with his hand still on my stomach. "They said possibly next week actually." I smile as I push some of my loose hair behind my ear.

"Can I go?" He ask as he looks up at me for the first time in the past few minutes. This causes my heart to stop. "Do you want to?" I ask questionably. I don't want him walking out on me just like Ethan did.

"Yeah it'll be cool." He shrugs as he takes his hands off my stomach. "You better not leave me hanging once we get there." I say in a joking manner. "Never." He chuckles.
