By My Side

chapter 16

Tess

He made us some dinner and we stayed up talking about stuff.Thats how I ended up knowing he was an only child and I was apparently an orphan after my dad was a no show.we practically talked about everything and anything before I yawned my tiredness.

He was kind enough to prepare a bath for me and he also handed me on of his shirts to sleep in.I was currently under the covers of his bed as I watched him lie on the coach..

I really didn't feel comfortable part of me felt guilty that he was sleeping there and the other part,well this other part I blamed my crazy hormones and the baby.

"Hey I can have the couch"
Allan ::"no tess now go to sleep "

I spent a long hour just tossing and turning in bed.The guilt of him having no comfort in his sleep was eating me out.I rolled over to see him and his eyes were just as open as mine

Allan:: "cant sleep?"
I nodded my head in agreement
"Me neither "

I waited a few more seconds before I spoke up again

"You could just join me in bed"

He gave me a quizzical look
"We are just sleeping and the baby needs you."

My hormones were all over the place and I interpreted that as the baby needing him.

Allan

I joined her in bed just as she had asked me to. I was never turning an invitation to have her in my arms down never.I pulled her closer to me wrapping my arms around her.She snuggled into my chest and she fell asleep. And I soon followed her into dream world.

(Morning)

"Hey tess are you okay is the baby okay.?"I asked as soon as I heard a her cries beside me.They were low and silent cries but I could still hear them.i sat up and tried to to hug her but she withered away in pain.

"Heyy did I do something wrong?"
She was still crying never giving me a response I tried to hug her again but her small voice stopped me.

Tess::"please dont"

"Tess what's going on let me help you"

Tess::"They are painful "

"Should I call the doctor tell me what I should do"

Tess::" I need a massage"

"You just told me your in pain "

Tess::"yes it hurts really badly "

"So where do you want me to massage ?"

Tess::"my boobs they hurt like crazy"

Think think think allan think.How the hell I'm I even supposed to do that

Tessa

I felt shy asking for his help but I also knew I couldn't hold in the pain.When I saw the inner battle he was having I decided to try another method I had seen on the internet.

"I can also try having a warm bath they say it helps calm the nerves."

Allan::"I'll prepare the bath for you" I couldn't help but notice the look of relief on his face.just imagining how he must felt made me curse myself in my head.

.....

For sure the bath did help I was feeling better.now I was sitted across from him having breakfast with nothing but a loose tshirt on

Allan::"hey my friends are coming over later.we have some sort of football tournament"

"You dont have to worry I will leave after this."

Allan::"or you could stay they dont bite and I really dont mind"

"Okay"It was time I met his friends.Last night he had said they were more like his brothers so it only seemed right.How and why it felt like the right thing to do was still a mystery.
