Worth the Payne

Chapter 9- Close call

Today I reached four months. I’m waiting anxiously for the day bubba starts kicking. Me and Liam have been out a bit since we announced our relationship and pregnancy but I’ve been hiding the bump. I didn’t want paps to take heaps of photos without asking me until Liam and I made an appearance. Once we make our first public appearance then I won’t hide as much and besides as I get bigger it will get harder to hide.

I was going to a yoga class for pregnant women. I was so determined to keep fit during pregnancy. I managed to get El to come with me as well by begging the instructor to let her in aha. I got dressed and picked El up. By the end I felt really relaxed. It was such a great class that taught me how to keep fit and positions to relax me when bubba gets restless. El liked it too, and the instructor didn’t care that she wasn’t pregnant because each person is allowed to bring someone for support so she gets to keep coming with me yay! We were currently sitting in Starbucks enjoying a nice drink.

“So have you thought of names yet?” El asked wiping her lips free from cream.

“I have a little bit actually. I know I want to use Eloise after my mum if it’s a girl. If it’s a boy I’m not really sure though but I like Xavier, Jayson and Tyler so I think I’ll go with one of them if I have a boy. Do you have any suggestions?”

“I like the name Dakota and I like Marie too. I like your boys names too, they’re cool”

“I don’t know why but I used to think about it as a kid. I like the name Dakota and its goes with Young. I don’t think I’ll pick a name until the baby is born though just so I can see that it fits her, you know what I mean?”

“Yeah I get it. I think my mum did that with me”

We both chuckled a bit before I got up and put my coffee cup in the bin. There was a guy sitting at a table near the window chatting to a friend. I noticed he was staring at me with a slightly angered expression. It took me a minute to figure out who it was: it was Joel. I looked down at my belly; he knows I’m still pregnant. I rushed back to our table and started grabbing my bag hastily.

“What’s wrong?” El said worried

“We got to go. Now.”

“why?”

“Because my ex is sitting over there and he wanted me to get an abortion. We have to leave now”

El nodded and we walked out and back to my car. I dropped her off at her house not mentioning what just happened at Starbucks. I waved goodbye and headed home. I got in and had a shower. I got dressed and started watching Glee when Liam popped around.

“Hey babe, wow bubba is growing quick” he said helping me up and noticing my bump.

“Mhmm” I said kissing him.

“How was your class?”

“It was good but guess who I saw after it at Starbucks?”

“Who babe?”

“Joel” Liam suddenly stiffened.

“What?! What did he do? What did he say?” Liam asked clearly agitated.

“Babe, chill. He didn’t say or do anything. He didn’t come near me. He just glared at me.”

“Well its not like you dumped him for getting pregnant.” He said annoyed

“Hey, I’m yours now because he dumped me” I said emphasising the word ‘because’ and grabbing his face.

“You’re mine forever. I will love you until the end of time” He announced kissing me.

I dragged Liam down onto the couch and made him watch Glee with me. I was laying in his arms singing along with the show. It was one of my favourite shows and I loved it immensely. We were watching the episode named ‘Duets’ where the group pair up and sing a duet. We were watching Quinn and Sam sing ‘Lucky’. Liam had his hands resting on my belly.

“You know, you aren’t that bad of a singer” Liam commented/

I smiled and kept singing along until a knock in my stomach caused me to stop. I looked at Liam my mouth hanging open. He felt it too.

“Bubba kicked. They kicked, Liam”

“Bubba thinks so too.”

Liam sang again and sure enough the baby kicked.

“Oh my god, bubba is going to be a singer. You’re so beautiful and I cannot wait until you are here” I said, crying.

“I can’t wait either. You’ll be a great mum”

“And you’ll be a great dad”

He smiled not expecting that comment.

“We're going be a perfect family”
