Kendall -a few weeks later- "text me when you land." i tell hayes as he hands me gia. he nods and gives me a hug. "you gonna be okay?" he asks. i nod "yea. i'll be good." i say. he nods and leans down and kisses gias forehead. he then grabs his bag and walks out with nash and their mom. i give them a small wave as they get in the car. i sigh and close the front door and lock it. "it's just you and me now babygirl."
-later that day- "so you wanna come down the 8th?" hayes asks. i nod. "yea. probably." i say. he nods. he facetimed me like an hour ago, just to see gia and check up on us. "i don't know though. like i'm scared about flying with her." i say. hayes nods. "yea but i'm sure she'll be fine. and sky and my mom are gonna come with you." he says. i nod "i know but it's still scary." i say. "don't be scared, kendall. it'll be fine." he says. "she's missed you." i say, adjusting her headband. he laughs "i know i freaked out today cuz i thought i forgot her somewhere." he says. i laugh. "i posted a picture of her." he says. i nod "on your snap?" i ask. he nods "yea. i didn't caption it or anything. so it's just there." he says. i nod "do you think anyone knows or assumes?" i ask. he shrugs "i honestly don't know. im gonna actually post later tonight. like actually talking about her and stuff. so we'll see after that." he says. i nod. "that's scary." i say. "why?" he asks "because. you've been living your life and stuff. i feel like people will know that you didn't know about her." i say. "i'm sure. but that doesn't matter. it's not like you posted her and i don't acknowledge her at all." he says. i nod. he has a point. "yea. that's true." i say. "have been getting anything since you went public?" he asks. i nod "yea just a lot of comments asking if you and i reconnected. or asking for the reason we broke up." i say "didn't you have bump pics?" he asks. i nod "so far no ones put two and two together." i say. he laughs "jesus. i don't know how much more obvious you could be." he says. i nod with a smile. gia starts to fuss. "okay. well we gotta scoot and get something to eat, huh baby?" i say to gia. "alright. i'll call you tomorrow." he says. i nod. "love you gia." he says. "love you niece!" i hear nash shout. i laugh. "she says she loves you guys too." i say. he laughs "okay. talk to you later." he says. we say bye and then i hang up. i close my laptop and then get off my bed and head downstairs. "nugget." my mom says as i walk to her. i laugh and set gia in my moms arms. "how are you doing, honey?" my dad asks. i nod "good. we just got off the phone with daddy huh?" i say, rubbing gia's arm. "she looks so much like hayes." my mom says. i nod, walking to the kitchen. "are you making her a bottle?" i hear her ask "yes ma'am." i say. i pull the things out to make a bottle, all the while, running through how people are gonna react to hayes confirming things.
