Because of Joe

Chapter 56

Chapter 56

I pulled away and his eyes were in rage. I felt his hand go to my back to pull me back against him for another kiss but I fight him off. "Stop your making it worst." I pull away from his hands and he spits out a string of curses against Sebastian.

"Look at this. Before when we fought and I kissed you everything will be okay with us. Now this is how it is. " Joe puts his hands on his sides.

"You lied to me twice." I started to cry again.

"I only did that because if you were to go back Sebastian will take you away from me." I didn't know if it was fumes rising out of his head. I walked away but he took my arm."Baby listen." He says. I cried wiping my eyes and he takes my other hand.

"Stop your not going to make it feel better." I said.

"I'm sorry I screamed at you. I deserved that slap because of my big mouth." He kisses my forehead but I push against his chest.

"Stop." I said and he pulls me into his arms.

"Baby please." He says kissing my cheeks, nose, lips, and eye lids. I put my face against his chest and he wrapped his arms around me. "I love you. I love you." He says into my hair.

"I love you." I said and he tightens his arms around me. After a few sniffles and he wipes my eyes from any tears he sits down with me in the kitchen. "Let's get you some ice." I stroke his cheek and he smiles softly. As I empty the ice bucket I placed the ice in a face towel. I put it against Joe's cheek and he puts his hand over mine.

"I'm sorry you know how I react badly when it comes to him." He whispers and I nod.

After the honeymoon was done there was a whirlwind of events I had to go through. Joe became uneasy when it came to Sebastian. He even limited my visits to him and almost got into an argument with me. I've been busy with baby preparations and Joe is helping out with that. I told him that I wanted to personally paint the nursery because I've always wanted to do it. He bought the paints and materials I need. After a few days the nursery looked as what I always imagined it would look like. Clouds on the ceiling with birds flying. Cream colored walls with trees and flowers covering the wall. Joe came in once and a while to check on me and the room. In the end I was quite satisfied with my work.

Joe was reading a book one time on parenting and it was actually funny to see him do engrossed in the book. I see him take notes down, bookmark them, and highlight. It was like watching him study for a big exam. While he was busy doing that just for fun I started designing baby clothes. I've never experienced making children's wear but I might actually go for it. As my baby bump grew in to a full stomach I was starting to feel kicks and movement. I have to stop once and a while to take a breath. Joe looks over worriedly and I'd tell him I was alright. 7 months pregnant and I'm actually quite prepared for this parenthood. Our new apartment it set up for this new life I've been relaxed for a while now. No bad news from Sebastian or anything. He's doing good and his life is starting to run back to normal. I've been keeping a distance from him since I know Joe would just get pissed at me if I'd be gone for along time with him.

Ilani is really helpful she's been helping a lot with the baby plans and she's the one who's always at our hours cleaning up the place while I'm siting on the couch eating loads of different food. "Anne after the baby comes out you gotta go on a diet." She says plopping down on the sofa opposite of me. A bowl of strawberries in her hand. I was munching on pretzels and flipping through channels. My legs propped up on the table. I have gotten chubby because of the baby and Joe still finds me super attractive. I can't believe it. He's on a short promotion tour with his brothers for their upcoming tour. I haven't seen him for a week but he has called and checked on me.

"Obviously I will. For now though I need to be munching on things cuz I have someone else to feed." I smiled stroking my stomach which was now even bigger than before. I could no longer wear any pants or shorts because they annoyed me so much. Dresses are my new thing.

"You look like your ready to pop." She giggles and I drank the bottle of water in just a gulp.

"Yea god I'm really hungry what else did you get?" I got up slowly and walked to the kitchen.

"Some dip for the chips and olives. Which were on the list right? Apples, avocado, coconut water, I got some meat for steak, and other goodies a pregnant woman like you wanted."

"Why thank you." I laughed going through the bags. I took out the jar of olives and pulled out a bowl from the cupboards. I opened it and poured out some olives.

"What are you doing?" Ilani looked at me like I was crazy.

"Snacking." I said spooning some olives into my mouth.

"That's just gross." She makes a face.

"What?" I shrugged. She starts to laugh anyway. I pulled out more food from the grocery bags and just mixed food that weren't supposed to be together. Ilani was siting on the stool dipping strawberries in chocolate.

"This is the best stuff." She says.

"I'll have some later." I drank another glass of water. I finished a bag of nuts.

I awoke in the middle of the night with some contractions. No panicking I started to walking around the room and took deep breaths. "It will be okay. Ilani is downstairs." I whispered looking around my room and I held on my back. It's been five minutes and I haven't felt anything. Then it started up again. This time showing up every one minute. I called for Ilani this time. "ILANI I THINK I MIGHT NEED TO GO TO TE HOSPITAL." I shouted. I heard the door open and she was running up or steps. She barges into the room with her pjs on.

"OH MY GOD. ANNE!" She grabs my phone by my bed and started to call my parents. We walked downstairs and she helped me into her car as I started to feel a lot of kicking. "She might have the baby now. I don't know what to do?" Ilani says into the phone.

"Ilani call Joe." I was hyperventilating and gripping the car seat so tightly.

"I will. I will." She drives me to the hospital and I prayed to God that I can bear through this.
