Zed's POV

It's starting to get late and I'm totally wiped. Laying in Addy's bed, with her scent completely surrounding me, makes me wanna pass out right now. I sigh contently face down into her pillow, earning a giggle from the girl in question. I smile and turn my head towards her where she sat on the edge of the bed texting with Bree. She turned her whole body so she was facing me too, a soft smile on her lips.

"You can go to sleep ya know." She assured me. I stretch my body, my feet still hanging off the edge even though I'm lying diagonally on her mattress.

"I'll only be comfy if you're laying with me. I can wait for you." I decline. She shakes her head fondly and crawls onto the bed. I turn on my back and she moves over top of me until she straddling my hips, my hands rubbing up her silky thighs till they come to rest on her ass. She giggles as I give her a light squeeze then leans down to plant a few sweet kisses to my lips. She gives me a last lingering kiss then lays her forehead against mine.

"You should get some sleep." She insists softly. I sigh and wrap my arms around her for a tight hug, I can feel her underlying anxiety.

"You sure you're alright?" I question. She softens even more at the concern in my eyes.

"Of course. I'm just being a worried mother about the baby. I'm texting Bree and she's helping me through it." She rolls to the side off of my hips and gives me a smirk. "It won't be long before I'm snuggled up in your arms again." She teases. I laughed heartily then lean over to give her another loving smooch before she scoots out of my reach and re-grabs her phone to read and reply to Bree's latest message. I pull the blankets over me and burrow into them, burying my face in her pillow again and start to drift to sleep.

Addison's POV

I take my phone over to my desk, flipping on the lamp then going to turn off the over head light so Zed can fall asleep a little easier. I return to my desk chair and plop down as I reply to Bree again.

Addy, 9:43 pm
I love this baby so much already...

Addy, 9:44 pm
I just don't understand why there
would be a murmur...

Bree, 9:44 pm
I know it's scary to think there's
something wrong...

Bree, 9:45 pm
But if the doctor said not to worry
yet, then you shouldn't!

Bree, 9:45 pm
Worrying might even be worse
for the baby!

I sighed, knowing she's right. Stress can be super dangerous when you're pregnant. I take a deep breath and let it out, dispelling all the negative tension in my chest. And it's replaced with a feeling of bliss.

Addy, 9:47 pm
You're right. I shouldn't worry!
I should be excited!

Addy, 9:48 pm
Omg Bree, when we heard
the heart beat it was the most
incredible feeling!

I typed and sent, letting the phone relay against my chest as I dreamily remembered that sound of my baby's heart beating. Her phone quickly buzzed.

Bree, 9:49 pm
Aww! I wish I coulda been there!
That's so sweet!

I smiled as I read the message. Bree really was my best friend, aside from Zed of course. She has always been there for me and been so supportive no matter what. I guess we've had this kind of bond since day one of freshman year. Best friends through thick and thin. I look over and see Zed's green hair peaking out from the top of the blankets, I smile lovingly before bringing my eyes back to my phone.
