The Home Run

Chapter 14

The next week i went to work like normal, i had to take a few breaks to empty my stomach but for the most part i was fine. Alex kept his word and he called me everyday. He started going to practice again. He's trying his best to get back into the way things were. Hes also been looking for places to live. Hes showed me a couple cute houses but nothing stood out to me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned around and Saw Dr. Walker "I've finished your recommendation letter and sent it in." he told me "thank you so much" i replied "oh by the way, they sent this back" he told me and handed me an envelope. I furrowed my eyebrows as i grabbed the letter. I slowly opened it and saw it was an acceptance letter from the hospital in Washington. "thank you so much" i smiled and pulled the older man into a hug "you're welcome Anastasia. Please take care of yourself and if you ever need anything just call me. You can go home and get ready to leave. Just turn in your scrubs on your way out" he told me, i nodded and hugged him again.

I walked into the break room and called alex on facetime. It rang a few times before he answered. He looked sweaty and tired. "hey baby" he smiled and walked away from a bunch of guys, it looked like he was at practice.  "are you busy? I can call you later" i asked "no. I just finished actually" he told me as a few guys ran past him "oh ok" i replied "so whats up?" he asked as he sat down on a bench "i got accepted into the program in Washington, they're expecting me to start next Monday" i told him and he immediately started smiling "that's amazing news" he told me "yea so i guess i have to pack and move the whole house" i sighed "i can fly down there later and ill see if Brooklyn and jack will help out" he told me "that would be amazing" i smiled as i sat the phone down and quickly changed. "do we have a bump yet?" he asked like he does every time we talk "not yet" i smiled as i packed my locker and walked out of the hospital. "hey baby let me call you back. I have to drive home and ill call jack and see if theyll help" he told me. "ok, i love you" i told him "i love you and our little peanut" he smiled and we hung up.

I drove home and told my mom the good news. She said she'd get boxes on her way home so i decided to make a few pit stops and grab some too. I filled my car up and finished the drive home. As soon as i got all of the boxes in the house my phone rang. I picked it up and saw it was alex. "hey" i answered as i sat down and thought about what to start packing. "hey beautiful. Im packing my bag right now. Jack and Brooklyn agreed to help us" he told me "thats great" i replied and stood up and started packing my drawer full of alexs stuff. "i should be there in about 3 hours. Dont worry about picking us up were going to rent a uhaul" he told me.

We continued talking until he had to hang up so he could leave. I packed half of my clothes before I had to take a break. During my break my mom got home and started packing her stuff. "what are you doing?" i asked "since you're leaving i decided to go home for a bit" she told me and i nodded. I decided to finsih packing my room, i packed a few more boxes then had to take another break. Im not even showing yet but my body is acting like im caring a baby at 9 months already.

After packing most of my room and taking multiple brakes i heard a knock at the door. I walked over to it and opened it up revealing Alex, Brooklyn, and Jack. I smiled as i welcomed them inside. Alex pulled me aside and started kissing me. "i missed you" he whispered and kissed my neck "well now you don't have to worry about that anymore" i laughed "you'll probably get tired of me first" i smiled and ran my hands through his hair "i could never get tired of you" he smiled and kissed me again. "are you two going to just stand there kissing or are you actually going to help?" Brooklyn asked "your friend gets on my nerves" alex groaned and i laughed. I grabbed his hand and lead him into the living room. "ive pretty much finished packing my room. I just have some clothes left to pack. plus all of the big stuff" i told them. "well I already have a bed, did you want to keep yours or mine?" alex asked "i thought we were getting three bedrooms." i replied "yea but we don't have it yet and my apartment is too small" he told me "ill get a storage and ill get rid of things as we go" I replied.

We pretty much had the whole house packed by midnight. Jack decided he wanted to drive the truck to Washington tonight so my room is completely empty. Brooklyn claimed the couch so alex and i are sleeping on the floor. I grabbed the fluffiest blankets and layerd them up and then laid on top of them. Alex laid next to me and we went to sleep.
