Life Changing Part One
"Mom, Maya and I are fine," Josh sighed in to the phone as he tossed his water bottle in to the trash.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. Why wouldn't we be?"
"I don't know. You tell me. Are you two traveling down here to tell us you are getting a divorce?"
"What!" Josh snapped, leaning back against the counter in the kitchen. "No, ma, we're not getting a divorce."
"Are you sure? Is Maya there? How come I don't hear her in the background?"
"Yes, mom, I'm sure. I think I would know if Maya and I were getting a divorce. And yes, Maya is here. I'm looking at her luggage for our trip waiting by the door as we speak. You don't hear her because she upstairs sleeping and as soon as we hang up I'm going to go upstairs and wake her up," he told his mother causing her to sigh.
"I was on that YouTube and I was reading all of these comment about you two not being happy and how Maya looks stressed and you..."
Josh hit his fist against his head, mouthing a curse word as his mother kept going on about what she was reading in the comments on Maya's latest vlog about how stressed out and tired Maya looked and how it seemed she was forcing herself to look happy and make everyone believe everything was alright when it's not and to top it all off someone wrote someone who knows him and Maya in real life told them they were getting a divorce and that's why Josh hasn't been in a lot of videos the last couple of weeks.
"Mom," he cut her off. "I promise you, Maya and I are fine. We are more than fine. I've been busy that's why I wasn't in her vlog and it shouldn't be a big deal because Maya doesn't vlog every single moment of her life so it should be nothing that I wasn't on the vlog but people like to make something out of nothing and I told you before you can't believe everything you read because there are trolls out there trying to cause trouble. There is no one who knows us who told that person we are getting a divorce because its not true. The person is a troll. Maya and I aren't getting a divorce."
"You promise this visit isn't you two announcing you two are separating or getting a divorce?"
Josh couldn't help the chuckle that came out, "I promise," he stressed, trying to reassure her. "Maya and I are happy and we aren't visiting you to announce we are getting a divorce."
"Okay."
Josh smiled at his mom's hesitation. "Mom, relax. Everything is fine. We will be there later tonight after we stop by Riley's first and then you will see with your own eyes Maya and I are still in love and as happy as ever."
"Okay," Amy caved in. "I'll see you later tonight. I love you."
"I love you too, mom," Josh told her before hanging up and letting out a big sigh. He glanced over at his and Maya's luggage before hurrying up the stairs, knowing the two needed to head out. He smiled at the sight of sleeping wife curled up with his pillow. He knows the pregnancy has been kicking her ass lately. He carefully sat down next to her, caressing her cheek. "Gorgeous, its time to get up."
Maya groans, stretching out her body before turning away from him.
"Gorgeous," Josh chuckled. "You have to get up. We need to get on the road."
Maya rolls back over facing her husband. She slowly opens her eyes, pouting.
Josh chuckled again, pecking her on her lips before helping her sit up.
