The Home Run

Chapter 13

I woke up the next morning and found Alex laying next to me. I smiled and ran my fingers across his chin. He looked so peaceful but suddenly his eyebrows furrowed and he opened his eyes. "Good morning" he smiled and pulled me closer to him "I didn't know you stayed" I replied and laid my head on his chest "I leave later today. I would stay longer but I didn't pack a bag. I literally just left the house and got on a plane to come see you" he smiled and kissed me softly. I smiled and suddenly pulled away and ran to the bathroom. I slammed the door on accident and I started throwing up in the toilet. Alex opened the door and walked behind me and put my hair into a bun. "How can I help?" He asked "go away this is disgusting" I groaned "I'm not leaving" he told me as he started rubbing my back. It felt good so I softly moaned "can you get me some water?" I asked and he nodded. He walked out and disappeared for a few minutes until he returned with a cup of water. He sat down behind me and continued to rub my back. "Thank you" I sighed as I drank some of the liquid to soothe my burning throat. I flushed the toilet and washed my hands and face and sat down in between his legs. He wrapped his arms around my waist and let them rest on my stomach. I sighed as i laid my head back on his shoulder, he softly kissed my neck and rubbed my belly up and down.

We sat there in silence for about ten minutes before i leaned forward and threw up again. I groaned as I leaned over the toilet waiting on the nausea to go away. Alex continuously rubbed my back and made sure my hair was out of the way. But the nausea didnt pass, instead i started throwing up again. I sniffled as i felt better. I flushed the toilet and washed my hands and face and noticed my eyes were watery. Alex had disappeared and reappeared with a new cup of water and i thanked him. I brushed my teeth as he stood behind me and gently rubbed my back. "Are you feeling better?" He asked and i nodded my head. He grabbed my extra, brand new toothbrush and decided to brush his teeth too. While he was doing that i walked into the room and fixed the bed and then walked into the kitchen. I grabbed the cereal but decided i didn't want it. "Alex" i yelled and not even 5 seconds later he was in the kitchen "whats wrong?" he asked panicked "nothing. Can you please make me breakfast?" i asked he sighed and walked towards me. "baby you scared the shit out of me" he told me. I moved to the side and looked at his butt "not literally smart ass" he laughed and pulled me into a hug i laughed and held him to me "you should probably put some clothes on before my mom comes out and sees you in your boxers" i whispered and he looked down at me and kissed me. "youre right. Let me get dressed and ill make you some food" he quickly kissed me again before he walked into my room. I sat on the couch and turned on the tv. My mom walked into the kitchen and started making coffee. "are you hungry?" she asked "alex is cooking" i told her "i don't see him cooking" she replied just as alex walked out of my room. "im about to, would you like some eggs?" he asked my mom "i dont want eggs" i annonced and walked into the kitchen "what do you want me to make?" he asked following after me "waffles, and sausage and blueberries" i smiled "do you want blueberry waffles?" he asked "that would be amazing" i smiled and opened the fridge. after realizing i didn't want anything from in there i shut it and went back into the living room. My mom followed me and we sat on the couch watching TV while alex cooked.

A while later he called me into the kitchen. I stood up and walked over to him. "Did you want a couple more or is that good?" He asked as he put two waffles on the plate "that's good" I told him and grabbed a sausage then grabbed the syrup. I got a cup of water as my mom grabbed her plate. I carried everything to the table and sat down followed by my mom and Alex. We all ate in silence, just enjoying each other's company. Once we finished I washed all of the dishes then walked into my room to get ready for the day. "im going to work, call me if you need me" my mom annonced "ok. Love you, see you later" i replied just before the front door shut. Alex walked in behind me and jumped onto the bed. "you're in charge of decorating our house." he said as i changed into a shirt and shorts. "why me?" i asked as I put my clothes away and walked towards him "my apartment is shit, yours is a masterpiece" he told me as he looked around the room "its just simple, i dont need much." i said as i climbed on the bed and sat on his waist "i like your simple style." he told me as he rested his hands on my hips "well i like the layout of your apartment so youre in charge of finding our house" i smiled "when should I start looking?" he asked as he rubbed my back "i guess as soon as possible. We only have so long until theres a baby. We should at least have a home" i laughed and looked down and held my stomach "were having a baby" i smiled and looked back up at him "how are you?" he asked and I could tell he was referring to bella. "im ok, it still hurts me but we did everything wrong back then. This is our chance to do things right" i smiled. He ran his thumb across my stomach and he smiled at me "i honestly cant wait to meet her" he said "what makes you think its a girl?" i asked "i just have a feeling" he smiled and kissed me softly.

A few hours later alex had to go back to the airport. We got in my car and I drove there. We walked through the crowded halls until we arrived at his terminal. "ill call you everyday and ill start looking for houses if you want" he told me "ok, and you should. But don't choose anything yet, i have to get everything situated here before I can leave." i told him and he nodded "dont tell anyone yet. We should tell them together" i told him "about you moving or the baby?" he asked "the baby" i smiled. Suddenly the intercom annonced the flight was boarding. I pulled alex into a hug and kissed him goodbye before he walked away and got on the plane.
