"Yes mom, I know we're still deciding a lot of things, we don't leave for another week and a half" I face palmed myself.
"Okay, mom, please calm down. You're giving me more anxiety than I already have about this" I breathed.
I walked over to the mirror and stared at myself. I pursued my lips and stared at my stomach. I looked like a fucking speed bump.
I rolled my eyes and sat on the bed.
"I'm sorry honey, I don't mean to make you anxious. I'm just so excited to have my first grandchild" She cheered.
"I know but it's just so much pressure. Everyone is going to be there. You, Tom, Jacks parents, his sister, my work friends, his friends, my other friends like Erin and Karol" I said exhausted. I felt my chest begin to sink in and I started getting a pain in the middle of it.
"Hey mom uhm I'm gonna go okay I'll see you later" I said quickly.
"What? Why? Cristina we were in mid conversation" My mother asked shocked.
"God, mom I am so stressed right now okay. I have to get all this baby stuff ready. I still have to get the plane tickets for everyone and sent invitations out" I breathed.
"Well I'm sorry, I had no idea you still had that stuff to do, where's Jack? Why isn't he helping you out with any of this?" She wondered
"I don't even know where the hell he is mom" I yelled into the phone. I closed my eyes and realized what I just said.
"What do you mean you don't even know where he is? Is he- is he working? What the hell do you mean you don't know where he is Cristina?" She screamed at me.
"Nothing mom, I have it all handled okay. I don't even know why I said that" I fake laughed into the phone.
I wasn't lying, I don't know where he is.
But I shouldn't have told her that, now she's going to be asking all these questions and I don't even have the answers for her.
I face palmed myself and groaned.
"Mom please I'll call you later, Jack just got here" I lied again. "Cristina, don't you lie to me" She said sternly.
"I'm not, I'm sorry I just have to go" I said beginning to have, what seemed like a panic attack. I hung up the phone and sat on the bed.
I felt like I was going to faint but at the same time I felt like I couldn't breath.
I knew these weren't pregnancy symptoms.
I went into the bathroom and yanked a towel from the cabinets in there. I turned the faucet all the way to cold and let the water run for a while before sticking the dry towel under it.
I stuck it on my forehead and sat on the toilet.
I heard Jack come in the room and saw me in the bathroom. We made eye contact and I looked up at him evilly.
I felt my eye twitch and my face grew a disgusted look.
"Cristina" Jack said calmly.
"Shut up" i simply said to him. He had been gone since sometime last night and never came home. I didn't even bother asking where he was. Because at this point I didn't even care.
What he does is his business.
"Cristina, I was-"
I laughed and stared at him.
"Don't bother, I don't give a shit where you were or what you were doing" I got up front the toilet seat. I pushed passed him and headed downstairs.
He gave me a very blank look. I know he didn't expect me to say that.
"Please you don't understand, there's something I need to tell you" He came towards me. I stopped at the top of the stairs and looked at him and laughed.
"I told you I don't care Jack. What you do on your own time is up to you. I don't care" I rolled my eyes. I turned back around and went into the kitchen.
"No, you don't understand, this is important" he begged.
I turned around frustrated and told him to stop. "It's fine okay, just leave it be. We have more important things to discuss, actual important things" I spat.
He just sat on the couch and stayed silent.
"So whats first?" I asked and opened up the binder. "I already handled everything" he rolled his eyes. Great now he's in a mood.
I don't even get why he's stressed. HE isn't the one that has to deliver a child.
"Well since everything is handled maybe you wanna go get something to eat?" I asked him.
"Like what?" He simply asked.
"I was thinking maybe some coffee and donuts?" I smiled. I felt bad for how I acted earlier. I felt like such a bitch.
"Sure, if that's what you'd like, you know I hate when we fight Cristina" He stood up.
"It irks me to see you upset as well and you know I hate seeing you down or mad. Basically anything but happy" He rubbed his thumb against my soft cheek.
"Legs go get coffee then" I grabbed his hand.
He looked me in my eyes and planted a kiss on my lips. I bit my lip a bit afterwards and we headed to the garage to go to the nearest coffee shop.
It had been forever since I've had coffee. I thought I wasn't supposed to drink coffee while pregnant so I didn't.
But I talked it over with Nicole and she said that she drank coffee while she was pregnant and it wasn't a problem with her.
Plus I looked it up and as long as I didn't drink it like 8 times a day or something then I should be fine.
Which is exactly what I didn't do.
Just one cup will be fine. I'm 8 months pregnant, and I haven't had any coffee until now so I don't really see the problem.
