The Story of Us

Chapter 5

This was actually made last week, but you guys loved the last chapter so much that I almost scrapped this one up. But hey, two updates in a row🙌🙌🙌

--not edited--

When Perrie got back to the apartment, she found Jade sleeping on the couch. She smiled at how peaceful the brunette looked. Taking the blanket to cover the girl, she never really noticed how pregnancy suited the brunette. The glow on her skin, how her hand rose steadily on her stomach with every breath she took. She knew that Jade thought she wouldn't be a good mother, but the blonde had no doubt. Jade had so much in that heart of hers, and so much love to give. She realized it with the way Jade stayed by her side, and held her hand through the entire service. Her mom had her dad, her sister had her fiancé, and Perrie thought she'd be alone, but having Jade by her side made the day bearable. She wasn't alone anymore.

Sensing that someone was watching her, Jade woke up, "Hey. You're home." She readjusted herself on the couch. "What's up?"

"How's Ysabelle?" Perrie asked, caressing the brunette's stomach.

Jade smiled, "Ysa's doing great. Was your family mad about the scene at the reception?"

The blonde shrugged, "I left before I spoke to them. Sorry you haven't gone on the shopping trip you wanted."

Jade shook her head, "Don't be sorry. I can always go some other time. I do have four months left."

"Well, I'm happy to see that you're in a good mood after what happened earlier."

"I let Danielle get to me, but that nap helped put things in perspective." She rubbed her bulging stomach. And I have more things to worry about, like that nursery there. I still don't have a crib, or a changing table, or a dresser." She said. "So after my doctor's appointment tomorrow, I was going to look around. I even opened up a credit card specifically for buying baby stuff." She smiled.

Perrie smiled, "I wish I could go, but I gotta work. But I'll call you." She said, smiling.

The next day, Perrie already had left by the time Jade woke up in the morning. Getting up, Jade got dressed and hailed a cab to the hospital. Everything was a routine now: getting dressed into the hospital gown, and waiting on the bed for the doctor. Her cellphone rang. "Hello?" She smiled when she heard the blonde's voice. "Hey, I thought you were at work... Yeah, I'm just waiting for Doctor Lee..." she laughed, "Well, you need to buy me some time... I know, not much, but she's kicking up a storm though... I think she's missing you... I don't know, I read in some baby book that babies recognizes voices they hear all the time..." she giggled and smiled, "Yes, I will be sure to tell Ysa that Perrie misses her too. Okay, I'll see you later. Bye."

The doctor walked in and Jade hung up the phone. "So you look happy. How are you feeling? Most mothers I've had are freaking out at this point. The next couple of months will fly by," Doctor Lee said, putting on the latex gloves.

Jade laughed, "Well, I am sort of freaking out, but mostly just excited. She just recently started kicking, but Perrie's upset that she's never home when she does."

"So, you and Perrie, huh?" Doctor Lee knew everythung about her situation. She had to know, there could be no secrets between her and her obstetrician.

Jade rolled her eyes, "We're just friends. She just called actually... she's super excited too." She leaned back, and Doctor Lee stared at the monitor.

"Well, it didn't sound like just friends. And speaking from a medical standpoint that sees the two of you almost on a regular basis, you guys have serious potential."

"What?!" Jade laughed, "No, it's weird. I mean, with the whole Jed thing, and the best friend thing. Look, I'm just staying with her so Jed would be able to see this little bundle of joy," she smiled sheepishly.
