A/N - I messed the cover up, thinking this was 'Changes'. Sorry!

AND I'M ALSO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING IN LIKE FOREVER OMG. Thank you for being patient. :)

I started to eat my sandwich again, although I still kept a close eye on Asa. He was getting on really weirdly, twitching, twiddling his thumbs...

"Asa, you're really bothering me." I say, putting the sandwich crust down on the plate, "what the heck's wrong with you?!"

Asa sighs. "Nothing."

That was it.

"Can you please stop saying 'nothing'?! There's obviously something wrong!! You know you can tell me anything.... Don't you?"

Asa sighs again, "Of course I know... I-it's just... Y-you'll never understand. You'll probably leave me."

I sigh this time and walk over to him. I gently put my hand on his shoulder and whisper, "I'll never leave you Asa. Never. We've been through so much together, I think we'll be able to get through your problem."

Asa smiles weakly, and he says, "We have been through a lot together, haven't we?"

I nod and say, "We really have. I'm surprised we're still going strong!"

Asa laughs a little bit and he puts his hand on my still-flat tummy. I look down at his hand and smile. "I can't believe our baby's in there."

"Me neither" I giggle, "I'm still having second thoughts about the baby... I mean, are we ready?"

Asa bites his lip nervously, "O-of course we're ready Gemma."

I put my hand on his, which is still on my belly, and say, "You're nervous, aren't you? About being a father."

Asa says, "Well, now you've put it into words, I am nervous. Very nervous."

A/N - I didn't know what else to write LOL. But anyway, here's the chapter. Short, I know... But at least it's an update, right?
