Call Me Chase

Chapter 25

*next week*
*chase is 17 weeks*
Chase's POV:
We found out the genders of the babies and me and Drew are planning  intensly. Weve decided that in my dad's house rather than hand painting we are going to put up decals since i shouldnt be inhaling paint fumes anyway. I wasnt that mad at that because I have been really tired. Im roughly half way through second trimester and Im starting to get nervous and afraid. I thought I had a handle on this but the closer it gets to meet them the more afraid i am to have them. I think Drew has been pretty stressed also, he's been really distant. I understand though, with his mom moving away and everything. I cant blame him, life's been tough but we can get through it together. I smiled at him and we walked out to the car together. We were going to find baby clothes today and we were both pretty excited. When we got there i was pretty tired, about 15 minutes in Drew decided i should use one of the driving carts. Ya know, the little car ones. So i did he didnt want me to get hurt and i certainly didn't want to hurt the twins.
We got some pretty weird looks, I wasnt sure if it was because I was in the mobile cart or because I'm a pregnant teen.
Chase: "Babe, how are you?"
Drew: "Im fine"
Chase: "Babe come on I've known you for a long time. I can tell when something is wrong.."
Drew: "Im fine Chase"
Chase: "With everything going on.. And your mom. The doctor said to-"
Drew: *slightly raising his voice* "I said Im fine. Just leave it alone"
I looked up at him but nodded and kept going. The rest of our shopping trip was silent. We paid and we left and the car ride was tense.
Drew: "Do you want Mc Donalds?"
Chase: "Okay"
Drew: "Chase dont act like that please"
I stayed silent and Drew looked over at me momentarily before turning back to face the road.
Drew: "Babe please. Im sorry i yelled at you. I just I dont like thinking about it"
Chase: "I understand that but pretending it doesnt exist makes it worse"
Drew: "I know I just need time"
Chase: "I love you"
Drew: "I love you too Chase"

We ended up getting Wendy's because i had a frosty craving and heading home. When got the house i decided to take a nap. Drew and my dad had set up the bed frame last night so now we had a bed and not just a mattress. Making it easier for me to get in and out of bed.
I slept for about an hour and Shadow woke me up. It was time for her to have dinner. I pat her on the head and sat up.
Chase: "Lets go get you food Shadow"
She wagged her tail and followed me up the stairs. When i got to the door i heard Drew in the office it sounded like he was on the phone because he was talking but there was no audible response
Drew: "No no Chase is napping."
....
Drew: "No I cant, not today."
....
Drew: " No we have a doctor appointment that day"
.....
Drew: "No"
I pushed opened the door and stepped out.
Chase: "Hey babe who are you talking to?"
I startled him and he smiled
Drew: *to chase* "Morning sleepy. Its no one dont worry about it" *to caller* "got to go Chase woke up bye"
I smiled at him but a hint of worry was in the pit of my stomach
Chase: "Im going to go feed Shadow"
I walked away toward the kitchen shaking the idea out of my head.
Drew walked into the kitchen looking excited.
Drew: "Babe!!!!! The new restaurant opened up yesterday."
Chase: "Oo the fancy one"
Drew: "Yeah"
Chase: "Wana go tonight?"
Drew: "Yes lets go yet ready"
Chase: "Okay"
I set Shadow's bowl down and headed back downstairs. Drew was already in the shower. I noticed his phone on the desk in the office and walkes over to it. I picked up and for a moment i thought about going through it. It wasnt wrong right? I tried to click open his phone but he put in a password, there wasnt one before... I set it back down and shook my head. Maybe its just because he doesnt want someone at school to get into it. I walked downstairs and got ready. Everything was fine.
