Chapter 5

The day was beautiful. There was not a cloud in sight. I watched the birds flit around the feeder I bought a few weeks ago. It was so nice to watch all the pretty colors and different types of birds filling my view. I had a bunch of errands to run, and I knew Cody would be relaxing at the house today. I gave him a bunch of things to do around the house to keep him busy—that was a good plan on my part. I had a quick design wrap up with work, and then I had to pick up some groceries. The night before had been magical between us. Angie wasn’t mentioned, and we were so happy and couldn’t stop talking about baby things. Laura and Brad were coming over that night to celebrate with us since they were both our closest friends. We could barely contain the happiness and actually get some rest. Cody was so excited, and I was so happy he decided not to go for his bike ride yesterday. In fact, he even told me he was going to sell the bike. I honestly will believe it when I see it—after all, that bike was his first baby. He just blurted that he would because if I’m having a baby there would be no need for a bike. Now he wants an SUV with more room for our growing family.

I finished up my errands and headed off to the grocery store. I wanted to pick up some wine for this evening and gather all the goodies. Cody was set to clean and prepare some finger foods. Once I finished up, I put the pedal to the metal and raced home. I couldn’t wait to see Cody. I was practically jumping up and down in my seat the whole way home. These seven and a half months better hurry the hell up so we can meet our little pumpkin.

I entered the house to find it quiet. “Honey, I’m back.” I saw plenty of things that should have been picked up by now. The first things I noticed were the soda cans scattered around the kitchen. I wondered what he was doing. I checked out the back door and noticed the garage was closed and the bike was gone. What the hell? I checked the bedroom¸ bathroom, guest room, basement, and finally the yard, and Cody was nowhere to be seen. I decided he must have gone to the store or something.

I picked up the house since I didn’t know when he’d be back. Since he took the bike, I knew I couldn’t reach him on his cell. After a hard house cleaning and dinner prep, I decided to jump into a bath and relax. The bubbles soothed me as the water cascaded around my tender skin. I smoothed my hand over my belly and smiled as I knew something precious was growing inside me. After about a half hour and still no word from Cody, I got out of the bath and threw on some comfy clothes.
