"i brought you some hot chocolate" Eli says handing me a snowman mug
i ignore him as i continue to stare at the door. i was beyond confused. why is he acting like that? we spend way more time together now than ever.
"where'd Zion go?" he question
"he left" i say
i start getting up, struggling a bit but manage to wobble to my room and close my door. i release a sigh before deciding to take a bubble bath. i turn on my record player and stripping down as the tub fills up with bubbles.
"novs? you doing okay?" Claire questions walking into my bathroom
"i'm fine" i release a sigh while rubbing my belly
she gives me a look before taking a seat beside the tub. i continue rubbing my belly with my eyes closed, taking in the current song playing.
"what happened?" she asks
"i would answer that but even i have no idea. i'm just trying to calm myself before i set it off" i sigh
her eyes widen a bit, my guess remembering what happened last time someone had pissed me off. not a pretty sight. these hormones had taken over in more ways than one i can tell you that.
"well, i'm gonna give you some time because i don't want what happened last time, to happen again. love you" she says rushing out as quickly as possible
i release a hearty laugh before deciding to bathe and get out before i turn into a prune. i let out the water, drying myself before putting on some shorts and one of Eli's shirts.
"for that kid to be a few years younger, i swear he's a giant" i mumble to myself
i slide on my bedroom shoes as i brush through my hair. i then decide on what lotion to put on before deciding on coco butter. after everything is done, i make my way out towards the living room. i can see everyone sitting around on the couches watching a movie but no one makes a move as i enter the room.
"hey guys" i say going straight to the kitchen
i can hear them mumbling, pretty sure a little scared to say something to me incase of setting me off.
"i'm not mad at you guys. don't worry, you have nothing to worry about but i swear if my fudge pops are gone, there will be hell to pay" i say going towards the freezer
"top shelf of the freezer" Cameron calls out
i smile, grabbing two of them. i then head back towards the living room and taking a seat on the rocking chair.
"what are we watching?" i ask
"uh, this Christmas" Austin says
i nod before everything turns silent again. as i unwrap my ice cream, i can't help but feel a little thump in my belly. i stop for a second, thinking something was wrong.
"mom" i say looking towards her with a look of worry
she gets up quickly, making her way over to me. she squats beside me, before making any other movement.
"what's wrong?" she questions
i grab her hand moving it to my belly, the worried look never leaving her face. the second she feels the slight movement, a look of awe makes it's way into her face.
