Today has been surreal. Nothing couldâve prepared me for Camden and his presence in my life. I grab the onesie from the bag and shake it open. A smile takes over my face as my eyes mist over. I was surprised when he pulled me into the store, and my heart stopped when he said he was buying this for the baby. I had never experienced overwhelming emotion than I did at that moment, and I did my best to swallow it down and not cry like a baby in the middle of the shop.
I hold the onesie to my chest. My life right now is tilted, everything in an unfamiliar perspective. Iâm not sure if Iâm standing upright or lying down. Itâs scary to feel as if youâre not in control of your own feet, as if you canât stand firm. However, today everything seems all right. The choking panic subsided as I walked with Camden, teasing him, being around him.
I see him in a different light, and itâs scary because eventually heâll leave, and Iâll stay. And while weâll have a child that bonds us, thatâs not the sole reason to be with someone. So much more goes into a relationship, and two people shouldnât jump into one just because theyâre having a child together.
But maybe that child could be the reason that brings them together to form a deeper relationship.
I shake my head and walk into my room, folding the onesie and placing it in the empty drawer in my dresser. I started reorganizing and clearing out things I no longer wear so that I can have room for this baby. It may not be the ideal home, but weâll make do with the space we have.
I donât expect Camden to get down on one knee and ask me to marry him because I got pregnant, but I always imagined this part of my life to be full of crazy, canât-live-without-you love, and a home shared with someone. I never imagined Iâd be a single mom, and while Camden is here, at the end of the day, Iâll be alone.
I bite down my lip and blink away the tears starting to cloud my vision. Lying down on my bed, I grab one of the extra pillows and clutch it to my chest. The reality of this pregnancy hits me in spurts, taking me down a whirlwind of emotions where I canât figure out whatâs up and whatâs down.
As much as I try to distract myself and pretend Iâm okay, the deep-seated fear of whatâs going to become of my life is ever-present. Iâve worked so hard to get to this point in my life and career, and the sudden possibility that I could lose it all makes my heart accelerate faster than a race car flying down the track in Daytona.
Thatâs not to mention Eastonâs reaction to the news. Iâve never seen him grow so serious so quickly in my life. My brother is my rock, heâs always been there for me, and the idea of not having his support on this kills me.
