Nowhere Kids

New Normal

So far, staying with Brent has been amazing. Every night I'd sneak into his room, and every morning I'd sneak back to the living room so his parents wouldn't suspect anything. We weren't doing anything naughty, as it was hard to get into the mood while pregnant, but we knew his parents would freak out if they caught us in bed together.

Brent's alarm woke us at 4am, an hour before his parents would get up.
"Morning babe" Brent mumbled, still half asleep. We'd both usually fall back asleep once I left his room, but he'd wake up with me for some morning cuddles. I gave Brent a kiss on his lips before cuddling into his chest and sighing. "Don't fall back asleep now" he said.
"It's too early to get up" I mumbled. He just chuckled and gently pushed me away, encouraging me to get out of bed. I groaned and stood up, making my way down to the living room.

I fell back asleep on the couch for a while, until Brent's parents woke me by walking around the house, preparing for their day. I sat up and yawned as I stretched.
"Sorry Jamie, didn't mean to wake you dear" Brent's mom said.
"It's okay. I can get a head start on getting ready for school" I told her. Beau excitedly sprung up from his dog bed and followed me into the kitchen so I could give him breakfast.

After letting Beau out, I had some breakfast of my own with a bowl of cereal before going to their bathroom for a quick shower and fresh clothes. Once I finished that, I brushed my teeth and combed my hair before letting Beau back inside. Now I just have to wait until Brent wakes up.

It wasn't long until I heard him make his way downstairs, half asleep.
"Good morning B" I said as he walked by towards the kitchen. He just smiled at me before pouring himself a bowl of cereal and sitting down. I decided to sit next to him and keep him company.

After his breakfast, Brent went back to his room to get dressed. He came back looking good with his hair tied back.
"Oh, since when do you tie it back before school?" I asked him. He shrugged and grabbed my hands.
"Thought you'd like it" he said, making me blush. I know that's not the real reason but I appreciate his answer.

We said goodbye to his parents and Beau before heading out. The ride started off quiet.
"So have you thought about baby names?" Brent asked.
"No, I was going to wait until we found out if it's a boy or girl" I explained.
"I've been thinking of some, but you're probably right, we should wait" he said. It was still early in the pregnancy, but I could tell he was slowly getting excited to be a dad. I still wasn't sure if I was ready, but his confidence and excitement made me feel better.

We got to school and met up with the others. The boys all talked and joked around while I leaned against Brent, just listening.
"Oh! I just remembered. There's a bonfire some kids are planning tonight. We should all go" Zach said suddenly.
"Sounds fun" Eric said.
"Yeah, I'll be there" Barry added
"Sounds like it could be a good night" I said. Brent nodded in agreement. Looks like we have plans for after work.

The school day was pretty long and boring, but now it was time for work. Brent drove us to the mall and we walked inside together.
"So we heading straight to the bonfire after work?" He asked. I nodded and kissed him before heading into my pet shop.

Work was pretty slow today. Since I came here straight after school, I didn't have Beau with me. After cleaning the whole store, I went to the back to check on the animals. I held them, talked to them, cared for them, then went back to the counter to wait for customers.

After work I waited by the diner for Brent. Courtney was also working but her planned seemed to have worked as she was more focused on the other boy than Brent. Brent smiled at me every time he walked by until he was finally able to clock out. He threw his apron onto the counter and ran out, grabbing my hand and laughing as we ran outside.

"What was that about?" I asked as we got outside.
"I wanted to get out before they asked me to stay late" he said. I giggled and kissed his cheek.
"Smart"
He laughed and we walked to his truck. Now it's time for the bonfire.

"Think it'll be fun?" I asked during the ride. Zach had sent the directions to the field to Brent earlier.
"I hope so. If the boys are there it should be" Brent said.
"Maybe it will be relaxing"
"Maybe. As long as we stick together it should be a good night"
I held Brent hand and smiled at him. I just hope he's right.
