my eyes and take a deep breath and pray that I’m not wrong.
Waking up I feel a warm body pressed against mine. I’m all wrapped up in arms and legs, and let’s just say that the bump isn’t comfortable at the moment. I want to move around, but I know that if I do I’ll have to see that I’m definitely not alone anymore and Vin is still with me. Oh well, might as well rip the Band-Aid off and face my future head on. I slowly move his arm off me and rotate so that we’re facing each other. When I am fully facing his way I take a moment to look at him. Full lips, perfect eye brows, strong jaw line, long eye lashes, and a sloped nose that has been broken more than a few times, yet utterly perfect in its own way. I cannot believe this is my daughter’s father or the fact that we’re giving this a chance. Did I make a mistake in taking a chance in us? Is this all too soon?
“Stop” My eyes snap to his and those beautiful hazel eyes are staring back at me with determination.
“Stop what?” I whisper.
“Stop thinking about giving us a try, because you already said yes last night, so just trust me to do right by you. Everything about us has been quick from the beginning; from us meeting, to you getting pregnant, to right now. Just enjoy that we’re together and that this is where I want to be. The three of us will be fine.” He reaches out and rests his palm on my stomach.
“How do you know for sure that this is what you want? I don’t want you to wake up next week thinking you shouldn’t be here. I can’t think about what you’re doing if you’re not around. I don’t want that type of relationship with anyone. This isn’t about me and you, Vin, our daughter deserves something stable, and not you skipping out on us when you realize you don’t want to be here.” I try to explain so he understands, but also trying to let him know my insecurities when it comes to this.
“I can tell you right now, that I’m not going anywhere. I hear what you’re saying and I get where you’re coming from, seeing as I didn’t stand up for you when I should have. There’s a lot that happened that I wish it hadn’t, but if you want to give us a real chance you have to let that go. I’m not saying forget it, but you have to forgive me for the shit I did and let me show you that now I’m ready for this. There’s nowhere else I want to be and I hope you understand how much our baby means to me. She’ll never have to worry about me not being there regardless if we make it or not.” I see the truth in his eyes as he speaks all of these words. I feel better, lighter, and hopeful for once, that maybe things will be good now.
“Ok, this is a bit heavy for the first thing to talk about when we wake up. I haven’t fed the nugget yet. So, let’s just say we will try.” I smile up at him. Those freaking eyes light up at me like I’m the best thing in the world since I’m letting this conversation drop, but also giving him the “we’ll try” go ahead in our relationship. I promise myself that I’ll try to forget about the hurt that he caused and pretend that this is the beginning, not six months ago.
“Alright, you get up and get dressed and I’ll take my girls to get something to eat, then I gotta go by my condo to see if Carmen got her shit out of there, but I want you to come with me.” I make a face at her name, but before I reply he starts talking again. “I know that face was for her, but I want you to come with me because I want you to redecorate my bedroom so you’re more comfortable there whenever you come over, and I need to show you the space want to use for our angel.”
“Ok, that’s fine, but what if she’s there? What if she sees me and tries to start shit? Wait; let me go to my safe really quick.” I start off that way, but Vin reaches out and scoops me up before depositing me in the bathroom. I squeal and try to get out of his arms, but shit they’re like metal bars or something.
“Oh,
