Forever after

Tessa POV

"Ughh what the hell!" I yell and throw my phone across the room

"Hey hey hey what's going on" Hardin rushes towards me sitting next to me on the couch

"The stupid fucking phone isn't working!" I bury my face in my hands and let out small frustrated sobs. Hardin takes his hand up and down my back. I lean towards him while he comforts me

"I miss my mom.." I whisper

"Do..do you want to call her on my phone?" Hardin reaches for his back pocket and grabs out his phone handing it to me

I wipe my tears off my face and grab his phone dialing her number. I walk to the bedroom and lock the door, my mother finally answers

"Hello? Hardin?" She answers

"Mom..?" I strangle a voice

I honestly sound so pathetic right now but I don't give two shits

"Tessa? What's going on?" Her voice full of concern

"I've just- just been very stressed lately... and I feel like I'm falling apart" my voice cracks

"Stressed with what?"

"Everything it feels like, Like when I'm working I have to plan so many weddings and I'm sitting here married-less! I don't even know If that's a word! I love my job but it seems as tho I can't understand it?.Ugh  and I'm soooo close to having this baby mom and I feel like I'm not prepared at all! My life was so prepared and you know that! Now I just feel so scattered and unclean for fuck sake!Everything is just going so fast I don't know if I'm ready" I'm out of breath as I finish

The line is silent and I even check if I'm still on the call with with her

"Hello?!" I yell

"Tessa I'm still here" she responds making me huff

"Look sweetie I understand the frustration you are going through, at 8 months pregnant no women will always be happy and that's okay there are ups and downs but I promise you when that baby comes to your life it'll all be worth it. You have always wanted to be a mother when you were just a little girl, I know you are ready"

"I- I just really miss you mom.." I sqeak

"I miss you too.. heather was taking about you the other day" she softly laughs

"She was" I sniff letting out a small laugh

Heather is David's daughter, so we're practically step-sisters. Her mom died when she was young but she still takes care of herself pretty well. If I'd say we almost have the same personality. She's beautiful at her age and I enjoy hanging out with her

"Ya she kept asking us to go visit you guys" she laughs and I join her

"Awe well tell her I said hi"

"Will do, oh and Tess when you do go in labor make sure you call me immediately so that I know okay"

"Okay bye mom" I end the call and walk back to the couch, Hardin Is still sitting there with a pillow on his lap. I lay my head on the pillow and Hardin tucks my hair behind my ear

"You feeling better now" Hardins hand massages my head

"Ya" I smile

"Do you have any names for her" I hold my stomach and look up to him

"Ehm..... well I really like the name Emery but if you don't like it that's fine, cause I already know you probably have a lot of other names to Chos-"

"I love it" I interrupt his semi-embarrassing moment "I think it's very cute" I smile at him and his face seems relieved

"Emery it is then" he smiles

"Oh my god.. she's kicking" I snatch Hardins hand and places it where her kicks are at, his smile widens

"You feel her?"

"Mhm.." his voice is thick and I feel like I'm imagining his watery eyes. I hold his face and watch as a small tear falls from his beautiful face

"Hey it's okay.......we did it" hi smile wiping his tears

"I love you" he says kissing my head while continuing holding my belly

"And I love you....... and Emery" I smile
