Try Hard // l.h.

36: Duckies

It has been two months since I talked to Luke about spending time with me in LA. I have talked to him since then, and trust me he has noticed some changes in me.

Like for instance, during pregnancy, your boobs pretty much double in size. If I had a dime for every time I caught him staring at my boobs on Skype, I'd be rich. Also he thinks I'm bipolar. That one is pretty self explanatory.

I have developed a bit of a baby bump, so if I Skype the guys I have to wear oversized shirts. And also the guys She Looks So Perfect EP just came out. And can I say I fangirled.

I'm currently at work stocking shelfs.

"Um, do you have any good book suggestions," a girl about fourteen asked me.

I smiled," have you read The Faults in Our Stars? Because that book is to die for, I just finished reading it," I said holding a copy.

"What's it about," she asked interested.

"Well these two kids have a terminal illnesses, and they fall in love. It's quite humorous," I said handing her the book.

She smiled and walked off. I think I just made a sale.

-

After another two hours of stocking shelfs and checking people out I finally got to go home.

When I got to my house, mom was making dinner, as usual. I just went straight to my room to go over some notes for my classes tomorrow.

My class schedule was pretty simple.

Photography: Mon. Tues. Fri 8-10AM.

Small Business: Mon. Fri. 11-12.

Accounting: Mon. 1-2:30.

Tomorrow is Friday, which means I have photography and Small Business. So time to review.

My mom brought my dinner up to my room. I ate quickly and decided to call Luke.

"Hello," he answered immediately.

"Hey," I smiled,"how's everything."

"Good, we just got to the venue," he said.

"Ahh, so your busy," I sighed.

"No, I have a few minutes, so tell me, how's collage life," he asked. I could almost see his smiled.

"Good. Classes are boring at times, but its nice knowing I might actually have a future," I stated.

Yeah future mother.

"Well I'm glad your happy," he replied.

"So in just two more months ill get to see you," he exclaimed," you have no idea how much I've missed you."

"I bet I do," I chuckled.

"Oh by the way I know about your little surprise," he said with a smirk evident in his voice.

My surprise? Wait did someone tell him?

"My surprise," I asked nervously.

"Yeah, Ashton may have gotten a bit waisted and said I'm going to be surprised when I see you next, so I'm on to you," he teased.

Oh thank god. Well I might just have to kill Ashton.

"Ohh, ha! Yeah, you got me," I laughed.

"But it's okay, I don't know what it is," he explained.

"That's good," I said more to myself.

"Okay, well I have to go. I'll call you tomorrow, love you bye," he ended.

"Love you too," I sighed.

-

After almost having a heart attack and reviewing for another hour I went to bed.

-

The next morning I woke up at six to get ready. Luckily this was one of the mornings I didn't get morning sickness.

I got dressed in a pair of skinny jeans and a Rolling Stones shirt. It's a simple outfit, and it hides my baby bump.

Once I finished getting ready I grabbed a power bar and drove to my photography class.

-

"Okay, I know you all are wondering why I've gathered you all in the woods behinds the school," no one really responded.

"Well I'm not going to murder you," the teacher broke out into laughter expecting us to find his 'joke' funny.

No one laughed.

He went on to explain we were to take pictures of nature. He wanted us to capture the beauty of life, as he puts it.

Mr. Berms is really something else.

I walked around looking for something half way decent to take a shot of.

Everyone was taking pictures of flowers and trees, but I wanted to find something less expected. I wondered away from the group, and was kind of glass I did, because I found a small duck pond. I smiled when I saw little ducklings following their mother.

She must be going insane with all those kids, I thought to myself.

I took a few shots of the ducks and one of them was my absolute favorite, they were all following their mom, except one he seemed like a little rebel. I loved it.

-

We went back to the class room and printed out our pictures. I was the last to hand mine in.

As class dismissed, Mr. Berms called me.

"Emma, I have to say, out of all my students you are the only one that gave me something fully alive," he stated.

"Yeah, well that's what you asked for right, the beauty of life," I smiled.

"Yes indeed, but I've noticed you photos all seem to revolve around the same thing," he stated.

"What's that," I asked.

"Maternal instincts," he stated.

I was a little shocked.

"Your first photo was of a mother bird feeding he chicks, he next one was of a woman pushing a stroller. Emma, you seem to be inspired by being a mother," he chuckled.

I sighed.

"I'm pregnant, I guess subconsciously that's all I think about," I explained.

"Well your work is nice, don't tell the others, but your my favorite," he smirked," an good luck with being a mother, I have a daughter you age engaged. Enjoy your kid while they're young."

I nodded and left to my next class.

I really am motherly.
