"So where are you now?" Kia asks through the phone as I sit down with a huff in the garden.
"Home." I huff shoving a spoonful of vanilla ice cream into my mouth. It was all I wanted lately, that and strawberries and sometimes pasta. Not all together obviously. "Justin's went to the gym with his friends or something." I shrug smiling lightly.
It's been a week since the beautiful day Justin and I got engaged and in all honestly it's all been a dream since then. Like the last 7 months Justin had been nothing but caring and I'd barely been able to keep my hands off him, not that that always led to sex. I was waited on hand and foot and Justin had to be practically shoved out of the door to even think of going anywhere without me. I still gasped excitedly whenever I spotted my ring on my finger and I would talk to anybody about our engagement.
Ironic isn't it?
I was so against getting married or engaged and now that I am I won't shut up about it.
"He's actually left you?" Kia asked flatly and I can sense the shock in her voice.
"Yeah..." I trail off my eyebrows furrowing as I watch Esther and Phil play in the grass.
"Charlie...what if your waters break..." She sighs and I can just about hear her worry to which I simply shrug. Sure the braxton hicks I'd been getting were worse than usual, but they'd been slowly escalating for about 10 days. Just because I'm 4 days overdue doesn't mean me or Justin suddenly can't do anything or go anywhere.
"Then they break and I call Justin." I shrug rolling my eyes although I can tell that Ki's not convinced by my answer. "It's not like Justin's gym is far away, it's like twenty minutes at most." He only went because I lied and said I'd had absolutely no false contractions today though.
"Well you know Lola and Carter are getting to Cali later today. They were expecting to meet Baby Bieber but I feel asthough they might be disappointed for a few days. You still have Lo's number, right?" Ki asks and I wince nodding before realising it's a phone call and she can't actually see me.
"Yeah." I huff feeling my lower stomach muscles tighten painfully.
"Good because she's probably gonna want to see you and I'm not being your go between. I'm half way accross the country and that's just a no-" I tune Kiara's rant out as I shake my head waiting for the pain to subside but it only dulls a little and I whine quietly. "Char, you okay?" She asks and I 'mhm' quietly whining as I rub my stomach softly. I hear her curse quietly to herself probably complaining to Dylan about Justin. "Charlie, why don't you um go run a bath, that helped you last week and I'll call Justin?"
"Noo." I'm whining like a child and even I'm finding it annoying. "Don't ruin his fun, he doesn't go out anymore." I huff squeaking a little in pain as I push myself up from the seat I'm sat in.
"He doesn't go out because he has other responsibilities. I'm sure it'd ruin his fun more when he comes home to you in pain." Kiara has went into Mom mode as I used to call it and as nice as it is to hear I don't appreciate the way that she's right. "Besides who finds the gym fun?" She scoffs as I place my bowl which was previously filled with ice cream on the counter top.
"You do have a..." I scrunch my face up in pain as the feeling suddenly becomes stronger then eases off in the space of a few seconds "point." I eventually mumble defeated as I reach the stairs looking up at the challenge in front of me. Stupid millionaire boyfriends and their needs to buy nice big houses with high ceilings.
"Okay, so you're really worrying me, I'll call you back in like ten minutes I'm on my way to shout at your boyf-fiance." She grumbles and hangs up without even saying by. I pull the phone away from my ear wide eyed whilst shrugging. I tuck my phone into my bra rubbing small circles on my stomach where Marshmallow has now started kicking excitedly as I take the stairs one at a time eventually reaching the top. Although the pain hasn't completely disappeared it's either dulled or got less noticeable because I can now walk without scrunching my face up in pain and wanting to curl up in a ball- even though I already resemble a ball of some shape.
