"So what are we gonna do now?" Lisa asked me as we pulled up to our apartment.

"I'm moving. I don't know where but somewhere that is not here." I explain.

"Are you sure that's the right move. Especially since you know Jesse's background he could find you in the blink of an eye."

"I know that but I can't risk it. You can't tell anyone not even lincoln." I gave her my serious face. I was hella determined to get out of here. Jesse wasn't the one. I can't do this. It's dangerous. MY reasons are repetitive but that's all I got to run off of. Danger. And I don't want any part of it.

No less than a week later I was out of California and in Tennessee. Only being a couple of weeks pregnant the move wasn't that hard on me. Lisa helped me out night and day before she got her own house which was way bigger than my 2 bedroom apartment. It was the only thing I could afford on such short notice.

A couple of months into the pregnancy Lisa and I decided to go look at some clothes. I was so excited.

When we got to the store it was like I had a baby aneurysm. "Lisa! Look at all the CLOTHES!!!" I screeched in her ears after I approached the clothing rack. 

"Yes, Nora, we know. Baby clothes!" She did little jazz hands towards the clothes.

"Look at how tiny they are. I just can't. They're so cute!" I kept smiling and soon enough my cheeks were cramping, if that even possible, so I calmed down a bit.

"You sound just like my sister." When I say the cutest guy approached me. I mean. He was fine on legs. Black, thick glasses surrounded his chocolate brown eyes. He smiled and I  could've sworn my knees were trying to give out on me. His skin seemed to glow in the malls lighting and he just seemed too perfect to be real.

"Oh." I smiled and chuckled a bit. " I guess your sister used to be pregnant, huh."

"Oh no she is." He turned and looked behind him. " Courtney!"  His sister, Courtney, came around the corner holding an armful of clothes. I couldn't help but gush.

"What do you want James?! Can't you see-" Courtney stopped mid-sentence. Her belly was huge. She looked like a balloon ready to pop. I couldn't help but wonder if that's what I would look like when I give birth.

" Hi. I'm Lisa and this is Nora." I waved slightly in their direction.

"Oh well, I'm James and this is Courtney. We're looking for baby clothes since this one is having a boy." James point at his sister than her belly.

Lisa gives me the flirty eyes look like, girl you better get some. "That's so funny. This one is having a girl." It wasn't that funny.

"I love kids, so she dragged me along." James was looking at me the whole time and never once took his eyes off me even when Lisa was talking to him.

"Ok well, I'm going to go buy this real quick. Lisa, I think, do you want to help me?" Courtney looked at Lisa and they were off, heading towards the register.

"So when is the baby due?" James asked. I could tell he was just trying to make conversation.

" I'm only 7 months right now so I got a little while before she decides to come out." I looked down at my growing stomach.

" That's cool. You want any help looking for clothes?"

"Sure, why not. My baby shower is coming up anyway. So I need to scope out the field." I laugh and James joins me.

For the next hour, we looked at baby clothes and the rest is history.
