"You know," I nudge David with my elbow "I love watching you do what makes you happy." I smile up at him.
I watch as a smile makes its way to his face as well, his hand sliding in mine, the other carrying Maria in her car seat as we walk through the lobby of the hotel towards the door. "Really?" He lifts an eyebrow.
"Yes. Seeing you so happy makes me happy." I quickly place a kiss on his cheek.
"Why are you being so lovey right now? Not that I'm complaining." I shrug my shoulders and grip his hand tightly. "I love it. I love you."
A smile quickly makes its way to my face, but it doesn't stay long. My phone begins playing Keep ya Dick Fat by Cody Ko and Noel Miller obnoxiously and before I even look at the screen I know it's Riley, and so does David. "It's okay." He assures me and places a kiss on the top of my head.
I shake it quickly and turn my phone off, promising all of my attention to the two people I want to spend the rest of my life with.
"Hi honey!" Trisha gushes when she sees Maria. Maria's wide eyes begin to water when Trisha reaches for her. Trisha doesn't stop though, and Maria cries out obnoxiously.
The people on the streets turn their heads as Maria acts like she getting murdered. "Baby, are you going to get her?" David questions and places a comforting hand on my back. I shake my head slowly, the cries coming from maria making me extremely anxious. "Are you okay? You look like you're about to cry." David turns me away from the other two and I nod quickly and rub my eyes.
"I don't know what's gotten into me lately. I guess I'm just a little anxious." I furrow my eyebrows together tightly. "I-I'm okay, David." I sigh deeply.
He nods and places a quick gentle kiss on my lips, helping me calm down more than I expected. Then he grabs Maria who's cries cease and a grin is placed on her face.
Maria's wife eyes meet mine and her tiny arms reach towards me. Every anxious feeling drifting away as I pull the love of my life into my arms and hold her close to me.
"I'm a little confused, but the beach is waiting!" Trisha exclaims with a grin.

The beach drags on and I continue to feel sluggish and moody. Before I know it I'm sitting in a skinny black dress with a sleek high ponytail and tons of makeup on my face. David sits beside me in his classic skinny jeans and sweatshirt that I love so much.
"I feel bad," I tilt my head slowly as I watch josh rock Maria to sleep. "We can take her with, it's no trouble. We all should be able to go." He waves me away and makes a pfft sound.
"Hush, in a few days I'm going to have one of my own. I like watching her, it's no trouble. You two deserve a break every now and then." He nods in assurance and David leads me out of the room where we meet Scotty and Kristen.
"Hey." Scotty smiles at me and gently punches my arm.
"Hey, stupid." I chuckle and make the same awkward exchange. "Kristen, you look great!" I smile and motion to the long dress with a slit in the side she's wearing.
"Thank you, but u look better. I don't have the legs for all of those short dresses." She sighs deeply.
"Oh, hush." Scotty rolls his eyes. "Your legs are perfect, bring yourself down one more time and you can swim back home." I stifle a laugh and we all turn our heads when we hear a pair of high heels clicking down the hall.
"Hello, handsome." Liza greets David.
"Can you maybe shut the fuck up?" I question and tilt my head.
"Wow, you're looking a little bloated. Did Riley forget to wrap it up? What a shame, have fun supporting two kids David!" She smiles before quickly walking down the hall.
The car ride is awkward, no one wanting to talk. I did notice a slight difference in the way my face looked and my boobs hurt like hell. But I figured it's PMS. My period is two days late but I won't know for sure for a few more days.
My mind is thrown in every direction as I begin to feel extremely anxious.
Will Riley want his kid? He can't take my baby away from me. What about David? He won't want to raise another child with me, especially one that isn't his. We're not even dating yet. Will he leave me? What about Maria? Will she think I love her less than my own baby? My poor Maria. My father won't live to see my child be born. Oh-my father. I'm a horrible daughter. How could I let this happen.
"Baby, are you okay?" David means over and whispers into my ear. "Is there something you haven't told me?" He grips my hand tightly. "Layla I need you to be honest with me."
My teeth tug at my bottom lip and I turn to him slowly and fight the tears that threaten to fall. "I-I don't know. I don't know yet. I'm so sorry." He furrow his eyebrows together but before he can say another the Uber announces that we've arrived.
