IVY'S POV
ivy- yes baby. everything is okay. i just thought i'd start doing that because my mom used to do it to me
joey- does it mean something?
ivy- yeah. i squeezed your hand three times for it to mean i love you. so if you did that and i responded with four squeezes, i'd be saying i love you too
joey- why are you always so freaking adorable?!
ivy- i don't knowww i don't try to be
joey- well i'm glad that it's just you and not a fake act
*i smile and kiss his cheek. i put the blanket over us and grab my phone, going onto the doordash app.*
joey- someone's hungryy
ivy- it's lunchtime and i don't feel like cooking
joey- i can always cook you know baby
ivy- you made breakfast, today and tomorrow we are supposed to be relaxing. we can order salads from panera or something
joey- that actually sounds really good right now
ivy- see i was right about doing this
*i laugh and he kisses the top of my head while giggling. i am laying with my back against his stomach and looking through the panera menu.*
joey- i'll pay for it babe. can you put that salad in the cart?
ivy- the chicken ceaser one?
joey- yes please
ivy- yeah i can and also, no you're not paying
joey- why not?
ivy- because i want to treat my baby even if it's something small
*i look up at him after putting my sandwich in the cart and see him smiling. i smile back and pay for our food. i put my phone on the table and turn my body so my head is laying on joey's chest and my stomach is against his.*
ivy- 30 minutes till it gets here
joey- take a nap princess. i'll wake you up
ivy- are you sure babe? i can just stay up
joey- i'm positive. take a nap if you're tired
ivy- thank you, i love you
joey- i love you more baby
*i smile and close my eyes, resting my head on his chest. he plays with my hair and i slowly feel myself drifting off to sleep. before i know it, i'm back at the hospital with my sister before she passed away. i run into her hospital room and hold her hand. i start talking to her and telling her to try harder for us. i then hear the long beep, indicating that she's gone and i break down, crying in a ball. i feel someone shaking me and i wake up, seeing joey with a worried look on his face.*
joey- baby, what's wrong? you started breathing really heavy and you're crying
ivy- i just.. i had a dream about seeing skylar in the hospital again and hearing the beep when she died..
joey- the dreams are coming back..?
ivy- i don't know. this is the first one in a really really long time. i don't want them to come back
joey- i know you don't baby. we will figure something out
ivy- how long was i asleep for..?
joey- about 25 minutes, our food should be here soon
*i nod and lay in his arms. he holds my close and rubs my back.*
JOEY'S POV
*about 10 minutes later, there is a knock on the door and i lay ivy on the couch, getting up to open the door. she watches me as i get our food and i carry the bag back over to the couch. i hand her sandwich to her and she starts eating while i get my salad out.*
ivy- this is so good oh my gosh
joey- are you feeling okay babe? you were just crying and now you're happy
ivy- yeah i'm okay. i think it's almost that time of month which explains all the emotions
joey- okay i just wanted to make sure and check in with you
ivy- thank you baby, i appreciate it
joey- youre always welcome
*i kiss her cheek and she smiles as she turns on the tv. i watch her change the channel to cbs and see that love island usa is on.*
ivy- i hope emily and weston go home, i don't like them that much
joey- come onnn weston in my favorite
ivy- ew babe please say you're kidding
joey- why would i be kidding?
*she looks at me with a serious face and i can't help but to break out with laughter. she giggles and shakes her head, knowing it was a joke. i keep eating my salad and watch the show with her.*
joey- how is work going babe?
ivy- it's good. i finally got to hold a baby and i almost cried
joey- awe princess
ivy- they're so cute, i can't help it
joey- id probably cry too
ivy- do you think we are going to have kids?
joey- i want kids at some point not right now though
ivy- neither do i. but i do want at least 2 or 3 before i'm too old
joey- babe you're 20, you can't even drink legally yet
*she starts laughing with her head on my chest and i smile big, laughing along with her. i play with her hair and we pay attention to the tv again.*
ivy- alexandra got a textttt
joey- maybe her and dylan can finally go on another date and make it official
ivy- i hope so, they're so cute together
joey- i still think we're cuter
ivy- i do too obviously because you're dating me and you're so cute
joey- you're beautiful stop it
*she pouts jokingly and i shake my head, leaning in her to kiss her. she connects our lips and i kiss back. she smiles against my lips and i giggle, kissing her again. she kisses back and this time we have a small makeout session. i slowly pull away and she blushes, putting her head on my chest. i play with her hair as she watches the show again.*
joey- you're gorgeous ivy. i'm never going to stop telling you that
