Hope In Their Eyes: book 2

Chapter 23: The Move

I woke up the next morning to Josh and Kye jumping in the bed next to me. "Hm? Do you two have any idea how early it is in the morning." Josh hugged me as I sat up, " Early, it is 1pm Skits!"Seems you and Sam had a long night hm?" He questioned, wagging his eyebrows at me. "Do not even ask, what are you guys doing here anyways?" I rubbed my eyes. Josh scoffed, " ah, I feel so unwanted Skits, my feels, how could you?"
"We are helping you guys with the move since, you are pregnant, with twins shall I mention! And can't lift much." Kye replied for Josh. Josh squealed, " I know, I can't believe there are two god-child's, I can spoil til my heart explodes!" I rubbed my temples, " spoiling is not good but I will make an exception for you, Josh." I hugged him tightly, "plus, I did miss you guys being around with your bickering." Josh and Kye smiled hugging me, "us too girl!" They both replied, "Geez you guys have gone too talking in unison to each other, what will I do with you both?"
I laid back trying to relax and Josh hit me with a pillow. "You can get up, we have a lot to do, I am so excited to see your new house. He never let us know or anything, it was so frustrating," Josh said. I sighed and got off the bed and started picking clothes but with my belly, most of my clothes were to small. "Uh Oh, whats the matter?" Josh questioned. I shook my head. "It's nothing," I continued looking through my clothes struggling to find what to wear so I got stressed.
"Hey guys! Plan on helping anytime soon?" Sam questions. "Yeah I am coming, you coming babe?" Kye asks. "I will be there in a minute, gonna help Sky out," he nods and kisses Josh's cheek. Josh stops me, seeing that I am irritated and goes in the closet. "You sit down and relax, I will find you something. We need to go shopping tomorrow for maternity clothes and it has been so long so I will be glad too." I fiddle with my fingers, "I don't know, people might stare and approach me." Josh pulled out a black t-shirt, that belongs to Sam and some leggings for me.
"Who cares, you been cooped up to long since that day, you need to get out in open arms and welcome yourself to the world of freedom again." I stand and go in the bathroom changing while Josh sits on the bed waiting.

"Sky, you deserve to be happy, you can't let the fear get the best of you, plus it's good for your babies to have fresh air even if their in water." I was changing when I felt the tiniest kick and gasped. "What?" He rushed in worried. I let off the slightest smile under my bangs, "one of them kicked Josh." He immediately placed his hand on my belly and guided it too where I felt the kick but it didn't happen. "Nooo, why are the hiding from me. You can't just kick your momma and then ignore me!" He exclaimed.
It was as if the babies only wanted me to feel it, they have gotten attachments to me since I have been the only one around. Maybe their confused as to who to trust? "That is not fair! I am jealous," he said. "Why were you sighing earlier though when we mentioned the house?" He asks. I huff as I am dressed and Josh comes in the bathroom and straightens my hair for me. "Come on, I am your best friend, talk to me." I stare at myself in the mirror as he straightens my hair.
"It's just, I don't like how he does everything for me and does all this stuff without asking me, I feel like he takes care of me to much and I hate it because he doesn't care if he gets hurt in the process." I crinkled Sam's shirt in my fist and looked down. "Well you know, he just cares about you so much and wants the best for you, take a walk in his shoes Sky, he was without you for months and he wanted to make sure you would feel happy when you returned," he reassured me. "Yes but at what cost, he never let's me take care of him and make sure he is cared for." Josh hugs me closely and rubs my back gently, "hun, because he loves you girl and he feels the same about you, just talk to him about it," he says. I nod just as Sam walks in and asks, "talk to me about what?"
      I look at Josh pleading with him, I am not ready to talk about him, on this day of all days. "I'll be downstairs." He says softly then walks away. I look down at my shoes and fiddle with the shirt. "What is it, Sky?" He grabs my chin, making me feel tingles. I look up at him, "I don't know where to start but I know couples like us are meant to talk it out," I say, reluctantly. "Alright I am listening." He smiles, amused. "I know that you went through a lot without me but you also got hurt by me Sam, I feel like you always wanna take care of me and never yourself, I want you to allow me to take care of you equally, and I don't want you to get hurt again Sam. Because of me, you almost died and I want you to take care of yourself more before caring for me directly," I say.
      "Baby, I will always make you my first priority but I will tell you, I will try so hard to make sure I am in great care, you are my cure, you complete me." He reassures. "Listen Sky, I got you in this mess the day I met you by that car, it was me who brought this hell in your life, why do you blame yourself for everything?" He asks.  "If anyone's fault, it is my fault, stop stressing yourself out and worry about our babies." He holds me in his arms, "I know it is a lot to take in but this move will be good for us." I nod and lay my head on his chest.
