I woke up to Ace jumping on the bed and the other side of the bed empty. I got up slipping on some leggings and a t-shirt making my way downstairs to let Ace out and to see where the hell Rocky was.

I looked outside and seen his car was gone so that was that. I sighed and began rubbing my temples trying to get myself upset. I unlocked my phone and clicked on his contact.

"Rocky where are you?" I opened the fridge grabbing a bottle of water.

I know you're upset and I know you wanted to talk but I had to leave some important things came up that I have to handle.

"Important things like what?"

The mob is having a meeting discussing some things.

"Okay well I won't be home for a few hours so I guess I'll see you when I see you." I hung up the phone frustrated.

He keeps trying to run from having this conversation and I don't know why. The closest I get to talking to him is when he's drunk and then sober Rocky closes himself off.

I let Ace in and we ran up the steps together. I combed through my hair a little and messed with it until it was to my liking. I washed up proceeding to get ready for the day.

I grabbed my keys and filled up Aces food and water bowl making my way over to Bri's house.

We were strolling through an isle in this baby store looking at things for the nursery. Since we found out she was having a boy of course the room would be blue but she wanted to do a twist on furniture. I could hear her talking but honestly I was zoned out.

Hey you hear me?

"Yeah yeah what were you saying?" I looked at her smiling.

No you didn't what's going on? She stopped the cart and looked at me.

"Rocky, our relationship is going to complete shit and it's just a matter of time before he does some dumb shit to hurt himself or me. He's drinking away his problems and that's that. We've been arguing because he thinks he knows what's best for himself and I can't. I just can't do it and I feel like a bad girlfriend but I'm stressed and angry. He won't even talk to me but finds time to do everything under the damn sun."

You just have to have patience and trust the things you're telling him will get through. I know he called me not knowing where you were and I could tell he was or had been drinking. You just have to bare with him and keep the line of communication open.

"I've did all that and I don't know how much wider I can open the door for communication. He's not letting me in nor will he even come to me."

So what are you going to do?

"I can't give up on him I mean I wouldn't do that anyway. I realize that love isn't always happy and there's going to be bumps in the road. I think he realized that way before me though. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do."

I think he'll pull through you just have to give it time. You're smart and I trust you'll do what you feel is best in your heart. Things will get better they always do. She waddled over and hugged me.

I went back to Bri's office and she started showing me ideas she drew out for a baby clothing line.

"Briana this stuff is so cute." I smiled looking at each detail carefully.

I might just design some of the things for myself and keep them for him. She smiled.

"I think that's an amazing idea and I think he's going to adorable too. A amazing set of parents and whole bunch of people behind him supporting him." I smiled.
