"Do you have to go?" I pouted as Colby grabbed his bag and slung it over his shoulder. "I do, but I'm going to miss you so much." He said and nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck, "five days." I whispered and wrapped my arms around him. "Five days." He repeated and kissed my cheek.

We made our way downstairs to see the guys saying goodbye to their girlfriends as Corey played on his phone. "There you are!" Sam said and looked up the stairs at Colby and I coming down, "oh shut up you know I suck at waking up." Colby said with a laugh, "I had to physically pull him out of bed." I said and patted his back. "I don't doubt that at all." Sam said and picked up his bag, "okay, we have to go." He said then kissed Kat.

"Call me when you land okay?" I said and put my hand on his cheek, "I will, I love you so much." He said and kissed me then got down on his knees, "and I love you." He said and kissed my belly. "Good luck at the appointment, call me and tell me how it goes." He said and kissed me again. The guys had all made their way out to the car. "Colby!! Come on!" Sam yelled and Colby chuckled, "alright, I love you." He said and walked out, "love you more!" I yelled and felt Kat loop her arm around mine.

"Now what?" Tara sighed out and looked at us, "I'm going back to bed." I said and walked up the stairs again. It felt weird to sleep in the bed without Colby but I ended up falling asleep pretty easily.

"CORAAAAAA" Kat yelled and jumped on the bed, "oh my god what's happening?" I groaned and opened my eyes, "it's almost 1pm I'm bored!" She groaned and flopped down next to me, "what are the other girls doing?" I groaned and turned towards her, "they are busy, I have been waiting for you to wake up but I couldn't wait anymore." She explained and played with the ends of her hair, "you realize I'm a literal incubator right now? I need to charge." I mumbled and flopped back onto my back, "okay yeah but you have been asleep for so long, you probably need to eat something anyways please just get up." She said with a laugh as she tried to pull my arms out of the bed. "Fiiiine" I groaned and got out of bed.

We made our way downstairs and Kat started cooking breakfast, or I guess I should say lunch. I sat there and just watched her until my phone rang,

"Hey." I breathed out with a small smile. "Hey baby, we landed just a couple minutes ago, what have you been up to?" Colby said on the other end. "I just woke up." I said with a small laugh, "it's like...1 there." He said with a laugh, "yeah, Kat had to drag me out of bed. I'm so tired all the sudden." I said as Kat put food in front of me, I smiled up at her and sighed, "well I mean we have been nonstop moving with baby stuff, your body probably just needs a rest." I sighed, "I guess, don't worry about it though, have fun on your trip, and I swear if you bring a demon back here with you you're sleeping in the garage for forever." He laughed, "I'll try not to, I love you." He said causing me to smile, "I love you too, so so much. I'll talk to you later." I said before hanging up.

"What do you want to do today?" Kat said as she sat down at the table with me. "I know Devyn wants to go shopping for baby clothes, maybe we could do that?" I said and took a bite of the eggs Kat made me. "YES. We haven't really done that yet because you didn't know the gender. Oh my god I'll text her now." Kat said and whipped her phone out.

I loved how excited and happy Kat was, she really has taught me so much about myself and made my life so much brighter. I knew I wouldn't be able to handle having a baby without her.

"Her and Tara are going to meet us at target in 30 minutes, do you think you'll be ready?" Kat said as I washed my dish. "Yeah, who am I trying to impress?" I said with a laugh and put my plate away. "I'll meet you back here in fifteen minutes then!" She said and skipped off to her room. I laughed and made my way up to my room.  I threw on some real pants and a sweater, then went to reach for my vans. I let out a bloody scream as a big brown spider scurried across the floor.

"Cora!? Are you okay!?" Kat yelled as she ran up the stairs, "STOP! Don't come up here. Call Kevin or Aryia, or anyone. There's a spider." I whined and kept my eyes on it. "Oh my GOD." Kat whined and stopped in the doorway. "Kevin. It's an emergency..there's a spider in Cora and Colby's closet....you're really gonna refuse a pregnant girl? She's scared of them too!" She whined "Kevin please!" I cried out, "thank you!!! I'll see you in five." She said and turned to me, "you still see it?" She said with a worried tone, "yeah, the ugly little thing is staring at me." I said and shivered, "why does this always happen when the boys leave?" Kat said with a laugh, "I don't know but you should tell the girls we might be late."

"You are lucky I love you." Kevin grumbled and walked passed me. He grabbed one of Colby's boots and smashed the spider with no hesitation. "Thank you Kevin!" I yelled and hugged him, "you two are ridiculous you know that right?" He said with a laugh, "ridiculously cute? Yeah we are." I said as he hugged Kat, "yeah yeah yeah, whatever, sugar k out." He said and walked out of the room.

"Maybe we really are ridiculous." I said and shrugged, "that spider was HUGE and you know it!" Kat said as I finally tied my shoes. "Whatever, we have to go." I said and we finally left to meet Tara and Devyn at target.
