my cell phone so I could maybe call my mother to help pry me out of the tub would be a good idea.
    I started the water to get it warm and then used the bathroom. I set my phone on the floor next to the tub, so I could reach it easily, and then I proceeded to fall in love with the massaging jets. I slipped down in the warm water, and the baby did float up off my hips, it was heavenly. I let the water cool twice and just added more warm water to it. I didn't want to get out. I could breathe and relax. I actually fell asleep for a while.
    When I woke up, it was dark outside, but someone had come in and turned on the light for me and left me a robe. If I hadn't been so relaxed, I would have been embarrassed. I just didn't have it in me to care.
    My stomach growled, and I knew I had to relent and get out of the tub. I sat up and tried to get into a better position, so I could get out. Just like Trent predicted, I was stuck. I needed something to pull on a little, so I could shift more onto my knees, but there wasn't a bar on the wall, like in my little apartment. It was a ground floor one and handicap accessible, where this bathroom was not.
    I sat back and contemplated just staying there, but my stomach growled again, and Katie gave me a good hard kick. She was hungry, too.
    "Alright, alright," I groaned, rubbing my belly. I picked up my phone and saw I barely had one bar. I hoped my mother had better reception wherever she was. I called her, but it went straight to a recorded message, saying she was out of service range. I sank back into the tub and looked at my phone, wondering if I was brave enough to call Maylene. I could ask her to send my mom up. When I opened my phone screen, I saw I had a text.
    Call me when you're ready-Trent
    Dare I call him? I looked at the robe on the counter, and I wondered if he was the one who had brought it in. He had already seen me naked, but of course I hadn't been pregnant at the time.
    I shot off a text to him.
    Did you leave me the robe?
    I had to know if he'd been in here, if he'd seen me naked like this or not.
    Yes, I was worried and wanted to check on you. I left the robe and turned on the light.
    Well, at least he was honest. Was I brave enough to call him in for help? No, I wasn't. I sent a quick text and asked him if he knew where my mom was.
    His answer was instant.
    She and my mother are out shopping again.
    It was official, I was stuck. If I wanted out, it'd have to be him.
    I felt my hair to make sure it wasn't sticking up all over, and then I washed my face. I was hoping I looked alright and finally got up the nerve to text him.
    Can you come help me out?
    He didn't reply, but I heard a knock on the door.
    "Come in."
    Trent poked his head in, smiling. "I told you you'd like the tub. You feeling better?" he asked, walking over to me.
    "Yeah," I shifted, trying to get into a better position, so I could get up withouth looking like a floundering beached whale. In one smooth movement, he had his arm around my back and under my arms and lifted me with ease out of the tub.
    The weight of the baby hung heavy on my body, making me groan.
    "Are you alright?" he asked, sounding worried.
    "Yeah, the baby weight is all back in place, though."
    He gave me a soft smile and wrapped the robe around me. I realized his eyes stayed pretty much focused on my face the whole time he was moving me.
    "Thank you for helping me," I said blushing. My stomach chose that moment to growl loudly.
    "Sounds like it's time to feed the baby. You get dressed, and I'll see what's left in the kitchen."
    "I missed dinner? What time is it? Where's Tyler?"
    "Tyler is with our dads still. They only caught small fish and a frog. Your father said he could keep the frog. So after dinner, they went to the pet store to buy a tank for it. I don't think they'll be gone too much longer."
    "So we're here alone?" I didn't know why I asked that.
    His eyes darkened, and he stepped closer to me. He brushed a piece of hair behind my
