Love And Marriage

Chapter 16: A New Change

I opened my eyes. Rolling over in the bed, I stretched my arm out feeling for Jesse. I didn't feel him so I sat up. I heard grunts coming from his side of the bed, crawling over I saw him on the floor next to the bed in the middle of a plank with his headphones on. I watched for a while, the way his shoulder blades contracted, his back muscles flexing, the sweat starting to drip. Once he was done with his set he started to get up but as soon as he made eye contact with me, he jumped and yelled, "FUCK."

I laughed until tears started rolling down my face. He stood there with an unimpressed look on his face.

"Damn Jay, I didn't know you were awake."
He said, he turned around to grab a towel and start wiping off the sweat that was making his body glisten.

"I wasn't for long. Jessekins?" He rolled his eyes at the sound of the name.

"Yes, Lovebug." he sang. I scoffed at the petname.

"What's going on for today?" I asked as he grabbed some weights from the corner of the room.

"Today, Di is officially moving out, but I have a gig at a bar a couple of towns over, if you want to come, and we have to see my mom in her new house." He said all while doing arm curls.

"Of course I want to come! I couldn't make it to your first one."

"Aight, bet. Di is coming so she can record. I promised her."

"You're bringing your underage sister to a bar?"

"It's not a bar, it has one but she won't be over there."

"Whatever. I guess you didn't tell your mom?" I said.

"Hell no, she would kill me."

"This Thursday is when we get to hear our baby's heartbeat. This is the appointment, Jess!" I said. I had just dismissed the reminder on my phone.

"Really? Already, you're not even four months yet."

"Anytime between six to eight weeks you can hear the heartbeat."

"You are so cute when you're excited."

All of a sudden a huge wave of nausea hit me. I got up and ran to the bathroom.

"I'm not sure that was excitedment!" I yelled back to him.

The morning sickness has to end
I texted to Monique.

Since Jesse's mom had found out, we pretty much told everyone we knew. I kept it really simple and I sent a picture of the pregnancy test to our group chat. Now me and Monique were comparing pregnancy notes. After brushing my teeth, I walked back into our room and looked down at Jesse on the floor doing sit ups.

"I like seeing you work out, it's sexy." I said as I climbed onto the bed.

"Oh yeah?' he said with that lovable stupid grin on his face. He finished his set amd stood up. I pretended to fan myself off.

"You know you can help me with the next exercise."

"What do you want me to do?" I said.

"Lay down on the floor, and I'll get on top of you-"

"That's all I need to know." I got up as Jesse laughed and laid on the floor, but not before making sure my bonnet was secure. I was not about to roll my hair in carpet dirt. He got on top on me in push up position and said,
