one night stands and revolving chairs adam levine fan fiction

chapter 18

Two weeks passed since Adam stormed out of my apartment .I kept my promise and texted him about my Dr.s appointment and he replied with a short "I'll pick you up at 11"

11 o clock on the dot and there he was standing in my living room his hands in his pockets nervously rocking back and forth.The drive to the doctor was a silent one. I kept trying to make small talk but Adam made it obvious with his one word replies that he really had no interest in talking to me. We arrived at the office and I got checked in and we were lead back to a quiet room where we waited in more awkward silence until the doctor came. During the exam when we heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time I saw the first glimmer of a smile on Adams face.

"did you hear that? That was amazing shelby..That was our baby..Inside of you...A real live baby"

I smiled at him and he seemed to remind himself that he was supposed to be mad at me. The smile soon faded from his face,

The drive home was slightly less awkward than the drive to the doctor and when we pulled up at my place Adam asked if I wanted to talk for a little bit. I did of course but Tom had a guest over so it really wasnt the best time for me to have company of my own.

"we could go home...I mean to my place.. " adam said quickly correcting his mistake.."I mean there isnt really anywhere else private enough for us to talk."

I agreed and shortly I was back at the house I had once shared with Adam...but he had removed all visible signs that I had ever been there.

"it looks really different in here" i commented casually..Adam was noticably nervous again..

"I changed things around a little.It was hard for me. Everywhere I looked there was something that reminded me of us.."

"I understand...so what did you want to talk about?"

"I was thinking that you should move back in... I mean that you should stay here..in the other bedroom..just in case you need anything I can be here to help you."

I nodded in agreement trying to hide the fact that I was turning cartwheels inside."If you are sure..I mean I guess it would make sense"

"Good..thats settled then. Do you want me to take you to get your things now..or tomorrow..are you hungry?"

'I'm a little hungry "

"Big suprise, I have no groceries..do you want to go out?"

'Lets just get takeout..I dont feel like dealing with people tonight"

Adam sorted through his collection of takeout menus until we both agreed on Italian and he picked up the phone and called in the order without even asking what I wanted. he didnt need to ask. he had placed the same order for us many many times

"I got us the usual..I hope thats ok"

I smiled.. "After dinner maybe I should go pick up my things after all..I dont have any clothes for tonight.."

"I still have some of your clothes you forgot..."

"I doubt any of that stuff would fit me right now"

"right..sorry. I forgot.. Listen I can take you back to your place to get some clothes or I can give you one of my old shirts to sleep in until we get your stuff.. Its up to you."

I was not about to turn down the chance to sleep in one of Adams shirts..So my reply was almost immediate.

"do you mind if I change and freshen up a little while we are waiting for the food?"

"of course not..Just grab any shirt you want..you know where everything is"

I walked into the bedroom where Adam and I had made love so many times before. I looked around the room and the memories came rushing back to me...It was so overwhelming. I opened the drawer and took out my favorite T shirt of Adams I always slept in it when he was away.  I got changed and looked around the room some more.

"where is that box of stuff you said I forgot" I yelled to him and he replied that it was in the closet. i quickly found the box and took it out . I negan sorting through my clothes and the box containing even more memories. Then something caught my eye. A pair of lacy black thongd. They didnt bring back any memories.

They werent mine
