"Here you go, babes." Trent helps me onto the his sofa and I finally get to relax in somewhere familiar. I have just got out of the hospital after two days of staying in there and now that I have done this to myself Trent doesn't want me living on my own back in my apartment in case I hurt myself.
He carefully sits next to me and pecks my cheek caringly. We sit there in silence watching the telly, well I say watching but I am more troubled by the never-ending train of thought that is currently going through my head. "What now, Trent?" I think aloud and pick a bit of fluff from my black leggings.
His eyes meet mine with confusion and I stare back at him with a sort of blankness. "What do you mean?"
"What do we do now? I mean, how do you feel about this?" I place a hand upon my stomach and look down at it with passion.
"I am over the moon, babes, we are having a baby together! A baby! Yes it was a weird way to find out that we are soon gonna have a little one running about the house, through you having a car crash. Honestly, Natalie, I am so, so, so happy about this," Trent places his own hand on my stomach and a warm fuzzy feeling tingles through me. "Just one thing though, babes."
A shock of worry hits me and I frown at my boyfriend. "What's that?"
"You are going to move in here, with me. So I can keep an eye on you and so we can be together during the whole thing and when this one comes along we can be a happy family." I cringe slightly at his words but at the same time I smile widely at how cute he is being right now and I press a firm kiss against his lips.
"When can I move in?" I whisper and bite my lip.
"As soon as possible," He reconnects our lips and deepens the kiss by cupping my cheeks within his gentle hands. A squeak comes from me as a twinge of pain comes from my shoulder as I move to put a hand upon his broad chest. "Whoa, careful, Nat, I don't want you hurting yourself now." He breaks apart from me and places a long kiss on my forehead. I can tell that part of him is joking but the other part is being deadly serious. I bite back a smile and shake my head.
Silence settles between us again and Trent ever so carefully wraps a caring arm around my shoulders. "Trent." I look up at him and he removes his eyes from the screen to look at me.
"What's up, baby?" His fingers fiddle with my blond hair and I feel my heart beat getting gradually heavier at his gentle touch. Every time he calls me a nickname it gives me a warm feeling inside, I am his.
"When you go to training tomorrow can you drop me back at mine?"
"Yeah of course, but why do you need to go to yours?"
"Well, if you want me to move into this massive place then I need to pack my things, and ya know, to do that I need to go to mine." I pat his thigh.
"No, there is no way I am letting you pack anything all by yourself, Natalie, I don't want you hurting yourself." Trent gives me a serious look this time and I roll my eyes.
"Please, babe, I'm hardly gonna be lifting anything heavy, am I? Look at me Trent, I have got one arm and one leg, what am I gonna do that could put myself in danger?" I debate and his eyes tell me that he knows that he has lost this civil argument.
"Fine, but don't you dare lift anything heavy or even remotely heavy." He pokes the tip of my nose with his finger and I grin.
"I won't, just stop your worrying." I poke his nose back and giggle as his cheeks become tinted with a light shade of pink from being embarrassed from me poking his nose.

I sit down on my bed as I attempt to bubble wrap my photo frames with my one free hand. The sticky tape doesn't seem to want to obey me at the moment and the flipping bubble wrap just don't want to stay still. Something that should take me ten to fifteen minutes is taking me almost triple that and the fact that Trent is ringing and texting me every five minutes is just slowing everything down even more.
