“How are you two doing?” I ask Quinn and Brody.
“Good, great,” they both say.
“Are you sure?” I ask looking between the two of them.
“Yeah, we’re doing really good actually,” Brody says proudly as he throws his arm around Quinn’s shoulders and pulls her in for a kiss.
“Aww, such young love,” I joke.
“Umm Hails….Liam’s coming over later, is that okay?” Brody asks as we start walking down the stairs.
“Yeah, Quinn already told me.”
We grab a bite to eat and catch up before I decide I need a nap. “Guys, I’m going to take a nap, I’ll be back down later,” I say as I walk over to my bags.
“Here, I’ll help you take them up,” Brody says as he jumps up to grab the bags.
“Thanks.”
We walk up the stairs and Brody places my bags in my room, “Thank you for everything.”
“Anytime Hails, we’re family.”
“I appreciate everything you and Quinn have done for me.”
“You don’t have to thank us.”
“So, are you two really good?”
“Yes we are. I love her, I really do,” he says almost blushing.
“Oh my gosh, you’re blushing,” I joke.
“No I’m not, but I am serious. Are you going to tell Liam?”
“I told you I am, but not yet.”
“When are you planning on it then?” he asks as I sit on my bed.
“He’s got enough going on with getting married, I’ll tell him after that. He doesn’t need something else to worry about right now.”
“But you are going to tell him?” he asks, as he eyes me closely.
“Yes, I am.”
“Okay good. Get some rest and I’ll see you in a little while,” he says before walking out of the room. I get comfortable before falling fast asleep.
I’m not sure how long I sleep, but when I wake up it’s dark outside. “Hey, you’re awake,” Liam says softly.
“Yeah, what time is it?” I ask through a yawn.
“A little after eight.”
“Oh wow, I slept longer than I thought.”
“How are you feeling?”
“Good. Thank you for helping with the nursery.”
“You’re welcome, are you excited?”
“I am,” I admit.
“You’re going to make an amazing mom, Hails.”
“I hope so. Where is everyone?”
“They’re downstairs. I wanted to check on you because they said you’ve been sleeping for a long time.”
“I’m good, probably just jet lagged.”
“You’re back early,” he points out.
“Yeah, my boss told me to come home in case I end up having Lily early, plus I was almost to the point where the airline I was on won’t allow me to fly.”
“Oh yeah, I didn’t even think about that.”
“Do you want to head downstairs?” I ask.
“Sure,” he says as he stands up. He follows me out of my bedroom, “Wow, you’re really showing.”
I can’t help but laugh, “Geez, thanks for calling me fat,” I joke.
“Shit, I didn’t mean it like that,” he says as he runs his hands through his disheveled hair.
“I’m only kidding, relax.”
“You look great,” he says as Lily kicks me. “Ouch,” I say as I rub my belly. “What’s wrong?” he says in a panicked voice.
“Nothing’s wrong, she’s just kicking me.”
“Does she do that a lot?”
“More and more lately. Do you want to feel it?”
“Sure,” he says as I guide his hand over the spot where she kicked me to wait for her to kick again. “Holy crap,” he says as she does kick again, “That feels so weird,” he says with a pure look of joy.
“It takes some time to get used to it, trust me.”
“Thank you,” he says as we head down the stairs.
“Damn girl, it’s about time you woke up,” Kenz says, causing everyone to look at me.
“I was tired,” I say with a smile, as I walk over to the chair and sit down.
“You are freaking glowing,” Quinn announces.
“Glowing?” I ask with a look.
“You are the hottest pregnant girl I know,” Quinn says.
“I’m the only pregnant girl you know.”
“Well true, but you’re all freaking belly; it looks super cute on you. You should be pregnant all the time.”
“Umm no, definitely not all the time,” I state all serious, causing them all to laugh.
“You do look cute pregnant,” Liam says. I can feel the blush come up, but try to control it as much as possible.
