To love a stranger (A Josh Hutcherson fanfic)

Getting Ready to go Meet Ellen

I wake up and am instantly nervous. I walk downstairs in my tight grey long sleeve shirt and blue and grey plaid pajama pants with my hair done in a messy bun on the top of my head. Liam and Josh are already here. I'm too tired to care though. I walk to the kitchen and go to pour myself a cup of coffee. I add my creamer and sugar and go to drink it when Liam grabs it out of my hand.

"Thank you." He takes a sip. "Just the way I like it." He drinks more.

"Hey! That's mine. Give it." I say holding my hand out.

"Uh-hu. When my brother's wife got pregnant they told her no coffee. It's better for the baby if you don't have it." I whine and he smiles.

"You're a cruel man." I say going to the fridge to grab some milk. I pour me a glass of milk and go to drink it. "Wait is this okay to drink?"

Liam laughs. "Yes that's fine."

"Good." I drink the milk and lean on the divider counter thingy. I don't know what it is. Anyway Josh comes and stands next to me and rubs my back. I groan. Hey don't judge. It feels good.

"You like that baby?" I groan in response.

He laughs. "I guess so. Come on lets go sit on the couch and I'll give you a better back rub."

You don't have to tell me twice I grab my milk and grab his hand and lead him to the couch. He starts laughing. I make him sit and I lay on my stomach with my head on his lap. He starts to rub my back and I take a sip of my milk. This is ammmmmaaaaazzzziiiiinnnnnggggggg! I got my milk, I got my man, I'm getting my sore back rubbed, and I got my milk. I know I said that twice but this milk is amazing! It tastes so good! Want some? No? Okay, more for me.

I finish my milk and notice Liam is sitting in a chair next to the couch and I hold my empty milk glass out to him.

"Fill me up bartender." I say to him.

"Why do I have to do it?" He complains.

"Because you stole my coffee! Come on slow poke! Da baby wants milk!" I say shaking my glass at him. He finally gets up and goes to the kitchen. I notice Josh is chuckling. "What's funny?"

"Da baby wants milk!" He mimics me and he laugh.

"What they do." He smiles.

"Hey can I do something?"

"What?" I furrow my eye brows in question.

"Lay on your back." I roll over and get comfy. Josh places his hand on my stomach and starts to rub it. I smile. It feels good. Liam comes back with my milk. Thank goodness he brought me a straw so I could drink it. Which I do. Then Jen comes downstairs. Hey I didn't know she was still upstairs. She comes down still in her pj's  like me even the same hairstyle. I giggle. She goes and pours her self a cup of coffee. Traitor. She comes and sits in the living room with us and looks at Josh funny.

"Why are you rubbing her stomach?" That's the first thing she says.

"It feels good." I purr.

"I heard it helps you get closer to the baby and I just always wanted to." He smiles and I close my eyes but then I get a craving for chips.

"Hey Jeeennnyyyy?" I drawn her name out a bit.

"Yeeesssss?" She draws out the word. I love that her and I do that.

"Do we have any chips?"

"What kind?"

"Any kind. I just really want chips."

"I'll go see." Liam says getting up. I look at my empty glass of milk and go to say something but before I can he takes it. "And I will get you more milk."

"Thank you Liam." I say smiling. He walks out of the room.

"You want barbecue chips or cheddar sour cream?"

"Hmmm....." I think for a minute. "Cheddar and sour cream please." Three minutes later he comes back with my milk and chips.

"Yay!" I sit up and lean against Josh's chest and drink my milk and eat my chips. Josh laughs and steels a few chips when he does I glare at him. "Hey I didn't tell you to stop rubbing my belly Mister."

He laughs but goes back to rubbing my belly. I finish my milk.

"Would you like some more Kyla?" Liam asks.

"No thank you Liam." I eat my last chip, close the bag and lay back down on Josh's lap as he continues to rub my stomach. I stifle a yawn and before I know it I fall asleep.

(Josh's POV)

I sit there rubbing Kyla's stomach and I look down and play with some of her hair that fell out of the bun. I smile as I watch her sleep. She turns shifts in her sleep and the mumbles something. Jen, Liam and I all start talking again. After about an hour Kyla wakes up.

"Sorry Josh." She says sleepily as she sits up and yawns.

"It's fine Kyla. I understand your tired." I say rubbing her back again. "Your back is really tense babe."

"I know. I can't get these knots to go away." I rub her back harder. "You have no idea how good that feels."

I lean over and kiss her cheek and we sit like this for a few minutes then she runs to the bathroom. I sigh and follow her. I hold her hair back as she throws up. After she finished puking she does her normal routine of rinsing her mouth out and apologizing. I smile pick her up and carry her back to the living room and sit with her on my lap.

We all start talking and laughing until about 11:15 then Kyla goes to get ready for the interview. After a few minutes Jen goes to check on her. Liam and I sit in the living room in silence.

"You okay Josh?"

"Yeah. I'm just nervous about this interview."

"Why are you nervous? You've met Ellen before."

"It's not me I'm nervous for. I'm nervous how Kyla will handle it. I don't want to put any undue stress on her." Liam smiles.

"She will be fine as long as you stay close to her. I think she would freak if you didn't."

I nod then the girls come back downstairs. Kyla is wearing some black skinny jeans and a white ruffle top with a long gold necklace and black leather boots her brown and blonde hair is down and flares out at the bottom. My jaw drops. I've only seen her in sweatpants and over sized hoodies.

"You look beautiful." I say as she walks over to me and sits.

"Thanks." She leans into my chest and I kiss her head. Liam is staring at her with his eyebrows raised.

"What?" Kyla says.

"You.....you're..... you look amazing!" He finally says. Kyla giggles.

"Thank you."

"Come on beautiful. We don't want to be late." I say walking up to her and offering my hand which she smiles and takes.

"Thank you handsome." We head to the door then I stop.

"You guys will meet us there right?"

"Yeah. We will. As soon as I wake up we will head out." Jen says. I nod and we walk out the door. I open my car door for Kyla. She smiles and gets in and I lean against the door ans stare at her.

"What?" She asks.

"Nothing. You're just so beautiful. It's hypnotizing." I say losing myself in her eyes. She blushes.

'Man she is so cute when she blushes.'  I think to myself. I smile and close the door and walk to my side. Then we leave to go meet Ellen.
