Doing it Alone

A Little Early

I make it over to my mothers for dinner and heard Sam and Phil would also be there. I've been able to understand how Phil has moved on and sorta accepted it, mainly because I've been talking to this new Josh guy.

I open the door and walk in with Chris. "Hey bud how about you go look for grandma." I smile at him.

"Okay." he giggles and runs to the kitchen.

I walk over to the couch and plop down. Seconds later I hear people cheering and walking over into the living room. "Bethany we thought you wouldn't make it." my mom smiles and sits next to me.

"Yeah thought you would be house arrest." Veronica laughs.

"Well I'm out for tonight thought I could visit the family, where's dad?" I ask.

"Oh he's out of town for work but Phil and Sam should be by soon." Veronica nods.

"That's great" I sigh and lean back.

"You feeling okay kiddo." my mom asks.

"Uh yeah I just feel tired doctor said it would normal for these final weeks to feel fatigued." I explain to them and the doorbell rings.

"I'll get it." Veronica cheers and gets up. She opens the door and immediately locks herself around Phil's embrace. "Hey babe Bethany's here." she smiles and pecks him.

"Oh really that's nice." he nods and Sam walks in behind them.

He passes through the two and sits down next to me. "Hey there beautiful." he smiles. "How's the Josh thing going."

"It's alright I mean all we've done is text and call." I shrug "I feel like I'm some high schooler."

"Well you have to save your first encounter for valentines day." he laughs. "How ya feeling." he pats my stomach and I feel a jerk.

"Ugh I've been okay just some quick pains but that's normal." I assure him. "I only have 2 weeks left so that's great." I tell him.

"That's great I mean if you need a ride just call me." he reminds me. "I will defiantly." I nod.

Veronica and Phil sit down on the couch next to us. "So I heard you have a blind date." Veronica smiles.

"Uh yeah Sam set it up." I smile nervously. "But I'll just see how it goes."

"Well hope it goes great right Phil." she looks at him and so do I.

He sits there silent for a moment "Uh yeah I mean blind dates are fun." he nods softly.

"Remember when I was your blind date when you set up Veronica and Phil." Sam bats his lashes at me.

"Why of course I do, best date." I poke at his cheek. "How's what's her face." I remember his date.

"Her name is Jeannette and she's lovely." he laughs.

"Uh sorry pregnancy brain I really don't remember stuff." I shake my head.

"Hey Veronica help me set up the table." my mom and her get up.

"I'll be back." she plants a kiss on Phil and leaves.

"How's work." I finally ask him.

He sharply looks up and his face softens "Oh it's not as fun without your jokes but the kids are getting used to Steven." he laughs.

"That's all I need to know." I clap my hands. "You know I'm working 4th grade science next year." I turn to Sam.

"What really promoted from 3rd to 4th." He teases me.

"Yeah I met with the offices yesterday and they said they would love me in sciences." I smile and turn to Phil. "Third grade is all yours." I joke around.

"Geez thanks, kinda nervous I'll be running my own class next year." he sighs.

"You'll do great, I mean you've done amazing from what I've seen so don't worry." I insist on Phil and his cheeks faintly turn pink but vanish shortly.

"Thanks Beth you've always known the right words." he moves as sits on my other side. I feel a tug in my stomach and swallow.

Shit shit shit either I pissed myself or my water broke.

"Guys don't freak out and don't call my mom." I quickly say.

"What's wrong Bethany." Sam looks down.

"My water broke quick help me." I pull on his arm.

"Here I'll take you I know where your clinic is at." Phil begins to hold to my arm.

"No you stay here and just tell Veronica and Tiffany." Sam nods.

"Take me to Yangs I want her to deliver her." I turn to Sam.

"No really I mean they already know me there so I'll just go." Phil pushes again.

"Fine whatever just get me there." I push the two and start walking out.

"Hey Beth you sure you want Phil to take you." Sam quickly catches up.

"Not entirely but he seems to really want to." I laugh.

"Just be careful and call when your done." he pats my stomach and pushes me forward. I walk a few feet forward but still here Sam talk "What about Veronica dude." he mocks Phil.

"Shut up you know I'm better for this." he spits at Sam.

"Okay." he chuckles and walks in.

I walk into the passenger seat of my car and scoot the seat back. Phil hops in and I hand him the keys. "You seem pretty chill." Phil smiles.

"Yeah this I know it's my second time so I really know what to expect." I shrug.

"Well do you need to head to your house." he asks and I can tell he's more nervous than I am.

"No I have my extra hospital bag I the trunk." I remind him. "So make sure to get it out when we get out." I nod my head.

"Aren't you over prepared." he laughs.

"Well yeah I'm better for this." I tease him.

"You heard didn't you." he sighs.

"Just a little but it's okay." I tell him.

"Sorry I just get protective over you." he admits.

"Well why Phil I mean Sam could've taken me." I press my lips together.

"I don't know maybe cause we're better friends." he guesses.

"That's valid I suppose." I shrug and look at him, the hospital is only a corner away.
