Secrets 8

A few weeks had passed since the confrontation between Elizabeth and her parents. She was now focused on the baby even more. Nothing was going to distract her from getting the nursery ready and making sure she made her doctor appointments. She did get phone calls from her father but she ignored them and deleted any messages he left. Elizabeth's mother had proclaimed that Elizabeth's child was not her grandchild and that Elizabeth was not in the family. So why would she want to take phone calls from her family even though her dad seemed like he was trying to make amends. He had sent Elizabeth flowers to say they were sorry for how they acted. And on one day Elizabeth happen to be at home when a delivery was brought to her and its was boxes and boxes of baby things. And she was like who sent me all of this and when the delivery guy gave her the paperwork she told him to take it back. But he said that he was not allowed to so she had to keep it. When Michael got home that day and saw all of the boxes, he was surprised.
"Who sent us all this stuff and what is it?"
"My parents actually probably my dad and its baby stuff. I don't know if my mom knows about all of this but if she did she would not be too happy about it."
"Elizabeth I think your dad does not have the same opinion as your mom. I have a strange feeling he is kinda on our side, sweetheart."
"I think in his older age he is starting to mellow believe me he used to be almost as bad as my mom especially when I was younger. I wonder why he is acting like that because its almost worries me that he is just doing it so that maybe I will come to my senses and do what I don't know. Because there is not way I am giving up you or this baby."
"And I am not giving up you or the baby either" Michael said giving Elizabeth a hug.
"What are we going to do with all this. I feel so overwhelmed."'
"We can just store it that extra room for the time being and then go through it and see what we can use and go from there."
"Yeah that sounds like a plan then. Ok superhero Michael start moving the boxes" Elizabeth ordered.
"I think you are going to help right?"
"Sorry I can't pick things up since I am pregnant. I have to take it easy" joked Elizabeth and she looked at Michael who looked at her and she ran for the bedroom with Michael hot on her heels. She got into the bedroom and tried to shut the door but Michael got in and he tried to grab her but Elizabeth moved quickly into the bathroom and was then able to lock herself in.
"You can't hide in their all day."
"You wanna make a bet on it dude!"
"I don't wish to bet against you right now because I know I would lose" laughed Michael.
"I am so glad that I have a smart boyfriend" kidded Elizabeth.
"OK come on out and you can direct me as to where to put all these crazy boxes ok. I think that's fair."
Elizabeth opened the door and she and Michael headed to deal with all the baby boxes.

Another couple weeks had passed and Elizabeth was at the doctor's office for her four month check up. Michael had come along because they were going to do an ultrasound and get the first official pics of the baby. Elizabeth was starting to show and she luckily had found some cool maternity clothes to wear but she felt big and she knew this was just the beginning. She was trying to get comfortable but its kinda hard when there is a little person inside of you needed to share your space.
"Hey Liz are you ok?"
"Oh just dandy. I can't get comfortable in the chair. Your child is having a party inside of me."
"Oh so now its MY child not OUR child" Michael joked.
"Well when I don't feel so hot its yours" Elizabeth joked back.
"I am sorry that MY child is not making you happy but I think I know something that might make you feel a little bit better."
"What would that be?"
Michael leaned over to give Elizabeth a kiss. Then he whispered in her ear,"I love you".
"Thanks Mike and I think OUR child finally decided to chill now" laughed Elizabeth.
"Cool now hopefully soon we will be called back and then they can take those cool pictures with the ultrasound and see our baby" Michael said excitedly.
"Yeah I can't wait to see our baby. This is just so exciting" Elizabeth said while patting her abdomen.
