The next couple days were hard
Colby was away more frequently and for longer, which stressed me the fuck out. He says he's been laying low and working from the office but I didn't know if I fully believed that.
His whole life was surrounded by keeping me calm so the baby wouldn't be out under a lot of stress, but I couldn't help it.
I was starting to get stir crazy from being in this boring room without a single moment of solitude.
I loved my brothers and sisters more than anything but I needed time away from them every once in a while.
"Carter! Stop touching my stuff, I am being so serious." Jenna snapped as she pulled a book of hers away from Carter.
"Sharing is caring, Jen!" Carter said as I groaned. The two have been fighting nonstop for the past hour and a half and I was seriously over it.
"Shut up, both of you!" I yelled causing little Sam to look over at me.
"Don't stress the baby out." He reminded gently as I rolled my eyes.
"I can't help it!" I snapped as the door opened. "What's with the yelling?" Colby asked as I looked up at him.
"Carter keeps stealing my things! Tell him to stop or maybe shoot him, I don't care." Jenna said as I gasped.
"Jenna, that's enough!" I screamed causing Colby's eyes to widen.
"Okay. Woah." He said as I looked up at him. "Get me out of this room." I said as he nodded.
"Jenna, you can't wish death upon your brother because there's a chance something can actually happen to him. You'll regret talking like that." He said as Jenna shook her head.
"Nothing is going to happen to us, isn't that what you promised?" Jenna asked as Colby nodded.
"I'm going to do my best but we're in a dangerous world. Anything can happen." He said and came over to help me out of bed.
"You can't die again." Juniper said as Colby sighed. "I'm not gonna die." He assumed then sat me in the wheelchair.
"We'll be right back." Colby said then wheeled me out of the room.
"I can't do this for much longer." I said as he wheeled me down the hallway. "Are they really that bad?" Colby asked as I looked up at him.
"I need some space. I want to go outside and get some fresh air and be literally anywhere but crammed in a room with my four young siblings." I said as he sighed and wheeled me towards his office.
"I wish we could go outside but it's too dangerous, Jules." Colby said and wheeled me into his office.
"I don't care at this point." I said as he sighed and crouched in front of me. "I know that's not true." He said and brushed my hair from my face.
"We all just need five minutes of freedom..." I said as he frowned.
"I wish, sweetheart. We're in some deep shit though and we need keep you guys and the baby safe." He said and put his hand on my belly.
"I need to get back to Texas...we can't use underground doctors for a pregnancy." I said as he chewed his lip nervously.
"I'll figure something out. Just...try not to stress, darling." He said then kissed my head.
"I need to stretch my legs." I mumbled as Colby grinned.
"Let's take a little walk then." He said and took my hands, helping me stand.
"How have you been feeling? I feel bad for not really knowing anything about the pregnancy." Colby said as I shook my head.
"You've been busy. Ummm..well at the last appointment my OB said everything was looking good. I've just lost track of how far along I am." I said and put my hand on my belly,
