"Oh my God what happened?" I asked. He shrugged.
"A small fight broke out..." He said. We were both whispering to stop from waking the others. Leila's mother didn't stay that night.
"With WHO?" I said, suddenly angry at whoever did this to him. My voice was a bit loud.
"Shh..shh..it's nothing to worry about." He walked in and I closed the door,"Now we're twins." My black eye was slowly fading away, and his looked fresh. We sat down on the couch and hugged for the longest time. Then, we just sat there, when I noticed Todd was looking at my stomach.
"You think I'm fat!" I almost said this too loudly, but not loud enough to wake Maddie and Leila. This is what I get for being pregnant? Jeez...
"No, no, I don't think you're fat." He said quietly. Poor guy, he didn't know what he was dealing with.
"Then, why were you looking at my stomach?" I sobbed out. He looked me in the eyes.
"I wanted to see if it was kicking." He said softly. I smiled at him. He is so cute. I grabbed his hand and put it on my stomach. He was a little cautious about my bruises, but I let him know it was okay. Soon, the baby kicked. This time it didn't hit a bruise. His eyes got big.
"Wow." Was all he could say. I smiled at him and he smiled back. I couldn't take it any longer. I kissed him. It was long and even when it was done, the feel of it still lingered on my lips. Then, Todd said,"Wow." Like he had before.
We started kissing again. When we started kissing, it was 4:46 in the morning. I know this, because I looked at the clock. I felt tired. Todd stopped.
"Are you tired?" Todd asked. He always knew.
"No." I said with a yawn.
"You're tired. I should go. You need rest." He kissed me again and made his way to the door.
"Wait!" I said, somewhat quiet. He turned to me.,"Please stay. Please Todd, please." He looked at my tiredly. After begging for many minutes, he agreed. We went to "my" room and I lay on the bed. Todd, being the cute guy he was, kept his distance by sitting in the chair. I waved for him to come over. He shook his head no. I waved again for him to come. He nodded no again. I waved once more. He reluctantly made his way over to the bed. He lay down beside me and I turned to him and kissed him. I flipped back over. His arms wove around me and we fell asleep just like that.
