pregnant

                                    

                                          
paulina's pov 
i sat on my couch, feet up and a bowl of ice cream beside me. my eyes were glued to the tv as the latest season of love is blind played. i was chilling at my home in dallas. pregnancy sure has its perks.
my uterus churned and i let out a sharp groan. 
of course pregnancy has it's cons as well. my baby continued to swim around causing bits of sharp pain to shoot. my face scrunched and i did my best not to let the pain get to me. 
as of today, i'm officially 38 weeks. my due date is two weeks from now. all i can do at this point is wait for my little boy to enter this world.
i have my birthing plan all ready to go. right now, oakley is in los angeles promoting his single with ice spice. i rolled my eyes at the thought. 
but as long as he's making music and doing what he loves, i can't hold him back.
he's flown back and forth to be with me ever since i gained my memory back. kinda disappointing that's when his management wanted him to drop music at this timing.
i understand his busy schedule. however i took off work for the past few weeks to be ready for anything and everything.
after all this time oakley and i have yet to officially announce our pregnancy. we kept putting it off as its not necessarily anyones business but something told me that it was right to do it now.
so, i opened my instagram and opened up the story feature.

i took that pic during a vacation i went on with oakley a few weeks ago. i loved how big my belly has gotten. i pray that my baby isn't this big tho.
my dms began to flood with a bunch of support and love. it was about time everyone knew, really. i decided to look through more pictures i could make an official post.
"paulina, i'm off to the store, want anything?" my mother asked as she grabbed her jacket. "hmm, more ice cream, and pickles" i asked with a cheesy grin. she chuckled and came over to me.
my mom placed her hand on my huge belly. "have you thought of any names yet?" she asked. i shook my head. "not really. we'll see if he looks like an oakley jr. or not" i laughed.
"i can't wait you meet you" my mom cooed. i smiled. my mom left to the store and i returned to scrolling through my photo gallery.

centralceefan1 how are now finding out about this 😫
> user939393 um we've been knew.. they were literally at a hospital 5 months ago it was everywhere 😭

oakley took those polaroids for me before he left a week ago. anyway, so the jig was up. everyone officially knows oakley and i are expecting.
i miss my baby daddy. actually, no. i miss my fiance. i gazed at the ring that sat upon my finger. it glistened so beautifully in every aspect of lighting.
my life has changed so much within the last year. all because of oakley. all because he dialed the wrong number. i bit my lip in thought.
i wonder what ever happened to madeline. i haven't heard from her since my birthday; since the accident. i didn't want to question it tho. if she's gone, she's gone. fuck her. 
woah paulina, relax. 
well no. i knew it was her to cut oakley's breaks and caused so much chaos in my life. still, i tried not to hold any resentment.
i finished the rest of my ice cream and got up to make another bowl. more pain stung from my belly and i winced in pain. ugh. this sucks. oakley really couldn't pull out all those months ago?
i opened the freezer and grabbed the tub of rocky road ice cream. i scoop some and plopped it into my bowl excited. impatient, i shoved some ice cream into my mouth.
there was a knock upon the door and i walked to answer it. my mom maybe? bowl in hand, i opened the front door. 
the door swung open and there stood none other than jackman harlow. i almost choked on my ice cream. "jack, what a surprise" i said. jack had a plethora of gifts in his arms. 
"can i come in?" he asked. "of course" i answered and stood out the way for him to enter. jack laid all his gifts on the kitchen counter. "what's all this?" i asked faking oblivion.
"because you never got to have a proper baby shower, and to congratulate you on the official pregnancy announcement" jack told me. he shyly tucked his hands in his pockets. 
i pouted, "you shouldn't have." i leaned to give him a hug and jack wrapped his arms around my girthy body. suddenly, my body jolted in pain. "sss, ouch" i winced. "oh-- sorry" jack apologized.
"no-- it wasn't you. it was my baby. i've been feeling pain all day today" i placed my hand above my belly. "maybe you sh--" "no no, we're fine" i insisted. i really didn't want to worry myself.
oakley isn't home. i don't know when he will be home. i know me and my baby will be fine. we can wait the extra two weeks till oakley is home.
i let out a few deep breaths to soothe the pain. "here, let me walk you to the couch" jack offered as he guided me to sit back down.
the pain was just more and more unbearable. "i'm okay, i'm okay" i repeated to myself along with my deep breaths. jack just sat there. 
"it's fine, the pain comes and goes" i told jack. i stood myself back up in hopes standing would help. "i don't know paulina..." jack trailed as he looked at where i was sitting. i paced around my living room holding my belly.
"what?" i furrowed my eyebrows. 
"either you just peed or your water just broke."
