Falling for you

* 16 weeks later, Payton's POV*
FaceTime with Jackson
" Jackson! About time we can finally talk!"
" yeah I've been busy with Hailey and school. You and Kaycie started online school so I haven't seen y'all in a while..." Jackson smiles weakly on the phone screen
" okay. So I was wanting to know, would you and Hailey like to come to Kaycies doctor appointment tomorrow? We have some news to tell you."
" what time? I will clear my plans if she wants me there.  I'm sure Hailey will show up.  I will let her know." Jackson says with curiosity
" 2:00pm. She is so excited. She has been thinking a lot lately about everything. I just can't wait to tell you the news." I say as I dry my hair with a towel
" thanks Pay. Now I'm anxious. Well I will see you tomorrow. Are we carpooling? If so my car or yours?"
" I will drive. See ya Jackson! Goodnight!" I say as I hang up the phone.
" baby! Come here!" I hear from my room.
Everything nowadays has me worried. I can't help it. I immediately run into my room to see a crying Kaycie.
" baby what's wrong? Is it the baby? Are you okay?" I say quickly as I get closer to her.
She looks up at me and grabs my wrist and puts my hand on her stomach. Then I feel it. Kick. The baby is kicking!!!!
" the baby is kicking! I can't believe it." She cries as she holds her stomach
" I think the baby likes your voice. You should sing to it." I say as I kiss her stomach causing her to giggle
" no thanks. I haven't sang in a long time." She says as she shakes her head no. She is so cute.
" pleaseeee for meee"
" no."
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes."
"nO"
" I will throw you in the pool if you don't."
" fINe"
She rolls her eyes and grabs her phone and scrolls through YouTube. She picks something quickly before looking at me.

Often I am upset
that I can not fall in love but I guess
This avoids the stress of falling out of it
Are you tired of me yet?
I'm a little sick right now but I swear
When I'm ready I will fly us out of here

I'll cut my hair

To make you stare

I'll hide my chest and I'll
Figure out a way to get us out of here

Turn off your porcelain face
I can't really think right now I'm this place
There's to many colors enough to drive all of us insane
Are you dead?
Sometimes I think I'm dead.
Cause I can feel the ghost circles wrapping my head
But I don't wanna fall asleep just yet

My eyes went dark

I don't know where

My pupils are but I'll figure out a way to get us out of here

Get a load of this monster.

Doesn't know how to communicate

His mind is in a different place
Will everybody please give him a little bit of space?

Get a load of this train wreck
His hair's a mess and he doesn't know who he is yet

Little do we know the stars welcome him with open arms

Time is

Slowly

Tracing his face but strangely he feels at home in this place

" baby. You are so good!!!!! You need to sing more often!" I say in awe
" I'm not that good. No big deal." She says as she shrugs her shoulders
" what song is that?"
" this is home by Cavetown. I'm tired now." She giggles as she lays down on her back and stares at the baby bump
