Unbroken C.B

22

This is part 2 to 21. It's the deleted scene from the last chapter. If I kept this in, the chapter would've been over 9k words... which was too much lol

Next chapter will be the deleted scenes from 22. 22 was originally going to be Leigh's chapter, but Colby's was long enough to fill a whole chapter sooo ;)

*Colby's POV*

"It's genuinely the most magical experience ever! Like the second I saw its little hand move on the screen, I was hooked" Sam explained and Kat nodded in agreement.

"You guys are so baby whipped" Brennen laughed and Leighton smiled, her hands resting on top of her stomach.

"You don't understand! It's so cool! Like when you hear the little heartbeat, everything becomes real!" Kat explained and Leighton nodded.

"Can I see your bump?" Brennen asked and she nodded again, lifting her hoodie up.

"It's like an actual bump!" Kat said and I found myself eyeing her stomach, thinking about how weird this was.

Ever since we got back to the castle, all we could talk about was Leigh, and her pregnancy. Not that I minded, it was just weird.

It was weird to know 12 hours earlier, I had no idea, and here we were talking so openly about it as if we've always known.

I guess they have known... So maybe this is just weird for me?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything I didn't know, and here they were just casually asking her questions.

"Colby, come feel her bump. It's so weird" Kat said, rubbing her hand against Leigh's protruded stomach.

"Hey! It's not weird!" She defended and Kat rolled her eyes. "It's very bloated right now from how much Sam has made me drink, so I'm expecting to be peeing all night long and waking up to the bump being a lot smaller" She laughed and It took a bit of egging on but I finally reluctantly walked over and placed my hand on her stomach, Kat pulling out her phone to take photos.

Okay weirdo..

It did feel kind of weird.

It was oddly squishy, yet hard. It felt weird, feeling like I was touching something unhuman. 

"There is a little baby in there" She smiled at her stomach, and I had a hard time wrapping my head around that.

Like on the other side of where my hand was touching, a tiny little baby was forming.

I was trying really hard to just go with the flow, and let my brain fully process everything when I was alone, which meant I was currently touching my roommate's pregnant stomach that I didn't know about for God knows how long.

"The baby is already formed, and such. It just needs to grow now. Get big and strong. In a couple weeks, I should be able to feel it kick" She said and I removed my hand, feeling creeped out.

"I can't wait to meet the little one. It's going to be the cutest baby ever!" Kat boasted and Leigh shook her head with a smile. "Every parent thinks their baby is adorable, but it's okay if they're not. Every baby has an ugly newborn phase"

"It's already model material! Did you see those ultrasounds?! Your baby was built to be a star!" Kat bragged and Leigh rolled her eyes.

"My baby can be whatever it wants to be" She rubbed her belly and I looked over at Sam, only to see him looking at me.

"Have you shown Colby any ultrasound photos?" She asked and Leighton shook her head.

"Can we move on? I don't want all the focus to be on me"
