I shook my head. "I told them to sort their shit out and that I wasn't getting involved".
"Good girl. Do you want to go out for dinner?".
I shook my head. "I can't be bothered anymore". I also wasn't in the mood for going out now. A yawn escaped my mouth. "But if you want to go out, we can".
"I'm going to run you a bath and order Chinese food. We can find a film and settle on the couch. Sound good?".
I nodded.
Fat chance I would be able to stay awake, but I'd at least try. I couldn't get over how tired I was. I had no energy for anything. I prayed my full pregnancy wouldn't be like this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJake rana bath while I lay on our bed scrolling through Facebook. Nothing interesting, nothing exciting until I received a private message from my dad.
He wanted to know if I was up for grabbing coffee tomorrow.
That I could do. I was ready. Our first meeting may have not been how I planned for it to go but it happened. This taround I could think about what I wanted to say. In all honesty I just wanted a relationship with him. I had family out there that I didn't know.
All this tit wasn't justand my gran.
I was staring at the message when another cthrough.
'If you're not ready I completely understand. I will wait until you are' I was ready now. I messaged him back letting him know I could meet around lunch time. I picked the Starbucks in the mall.
"Baths ready".
"I'm meeting my dad for coffee tomorrow". I spoke.
"What?".
"He messagedon Facebook so I'm meeting him at Starbucks around lunchtime".
"Do you wantto come?". He asked.
I shook my head. "This is something I can do on my own". It was something I had to do on my own. I had to do this my way and as much as I love Jake and his support, I didn't want him there.
"I can drop you off and hang around until you're done".
"I appreciate the offer, but I can drive myself".

I rolled my eyes. Was he serious? I was pregnant I wasn't dying.
"Don't roll your eyes Leah. You're I carrying my pup in there. I have to y keep the botnup of you safe".
I chewed the inside of my cheek as I let out a deep breath.. "I'm going to meet my dad for coffee tomorrow and I'm doing it alone. You may not like the idea of it but it's something I have to do. Now are we going to argue about it or are you going to lettake my bath?".
I could tell he wanted to argue, his top lip pulled back into a snarl. He was holding back, and he was was holding back because I was m pregnant. The last thing I wanted was to fight about it. "I'll drop you off and pick you up. Final offer".
I made a face. Final offer? What? "You think I was overprotective before. You haven't seen nothing yet babe".
Ashburn > Was he really wanting to fight withabout this? It was a simple drive to the mall and back.
