Above and Beyond (Sam Pottorff: Book 2)

Chapter 39

Bella's POV

"BELLAAAA!!" Aria called. Yup, Aria moved in with me.

"WHAT?!?" I yelled back.

"MY TUMMY HURTS!"

"KAY, BE THERE IN A SEC!" I shouted as I ran down the stairs and into the living room.

"Did you take your meds?" I asked.

"Yeah, but it still hurts." she whined. I put my hand on her stomach.

"It's just the baby kicking. Haven't you felt it kick before?" I asked.

"That's what that was? That never came to my mind." Aria said casually.

I laughed. "Want me to make you anything? You hungry?"

"Is that even a question? I'm starving all the time!" Aria giggled. "Can you just hand me the left overs of the salad I ate yesterday?"

I nodded as I went to the fridge and handed her the salad. I filled up a glass of water and handed it to her.

"Thanks." she smiled and she took a sip of the water.

"So when do you find out if it's a boy or girl?" I asked.

"Anytime pretty much. I just wanna ask Ricky if he wants it to be a surprise or just know."

"When was the last time you talked to him?" I asked.

"He stopped by this morning when you were sleeping. I forgot to ask him so I'll just do it later."

"Really? Wow, you guys are quiet in the morning." I said. "So do you want a boy or a girl?"

"I honestly don't care, but I think it would be awesome to have a girl. She could be like a mini-me."

I laughed. "That'd be cute. You'd have a hispanic little hipster as a daughter."

Aria laughed too. "That would be cute!! Oh, I just can't wait to pop this sucker out of me and see his or her's beautiful wittle face!"

"I know, me either. I miss having a little kid around the house." I sighed. "But lemme tell yeah, Lilly was a pretty annoying baby."

"Really? How so?" Aria asked curiously.

"She would always pee on my when my mom let me hold her. She'd throw her toys at me and it hurt. But what really bugged me, is that she would always call me Betha."

"Betha?"

"She couldn't say my name right so she called me Betha." I explained.

We both laughed. "I'm gonna call you Betha from now on."

"If you do, then I will stop buying you Panera whenever you ask." I warned.

She held her hands up innocently. "Okay, okay. You win."

"I always do." I winked.

"By the way, how'd things go last night with Sam?" she asked.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you! We're back together." I said with joy.

"Ohmigod, I'm so happy for you!! Now that me and Ricky's relationship is kinda out, we can all go on double dates!!" Aria cheered.

"That'd be soo fun! Sam and I were gonna go on one with Trevor and Lilly but that's kinda out of the question now so I'd be up for that." I said.

"I can't believe you can still talk about Lilly. I mean, it hurts me to say her name and I've only hungout with her a couple of times." Aria told me.
