He snorts and then gives a polite smile when the waitress sets down his coffee and my glass of water.
“I can do this.”
“Are you afraid to ask for help?”
He makes a choking sound before spitting out, “No.”
“Mhmm.”
He sighs. “Who am I kidding? Beckett will be here before I have the thing put together.”
I snort. “He’s not here for two more months.”
“Exactly.”
I nearly hum in delight when the B.L.T. sandwich and fries is placed before me. Once the nausea finally ceased I’ve had an appetite like I did early in the pregnancy where I want to eat everything.
I tear into the sandwich like I’m never going to see food again, and I’m so hungry I can’t even feel sorry for the other patrons that have to hear me moan.
Jace’s lips quirk, entirely amused, but he chooses not to comment. I think he values his life, which is smart of him.
My phone chimes with a text and I glance at it.
Joel: Just got a booking this Friday. Huge production. Going to need both of us.
Nova: Sweet! What is it?
Joel: Little Mermaid theme—complete with water.
Nova: Interesting.
Joel: It’s going to take a lot of work in Photoshop. The photo gods better be looking down on us.
Nova: Please, we’ve got this.
And we do. Joel and I might be young but I know we’re amazing at what we do. Both of us self-taught ourselves a lot before college, and college only added to our knowledge.
I put my phone away and finish my sandwich.
Jace finishes his soup and glances at his watch. “We need to go or we’re going to be late.”
He grabs his wallet from his back pocket and leaves enough money to cover the food and tip.
The café is only a block from the apartment, so it doesn’t take us long to reach his truck.
I still haven’t traded in my car like I know I need to, but I’m determined to do it by next month. I’ve been looking online at some options but haven’t test driven anything. I know once I do Jace is going to push me to buy something that day, so I want to already have a pretty good idea of what I want when the time comes.
We arrive at the doctor’s office for my check-up. I’m beginning to feel like I live at this place.
I fix my ponytail, before sliding out of the truck with a grunt. I’m beginning to feel like a planet, and I’m not even big yet.
Jace takes my hand, leading me inside.
He glances down at me with a smirk as he holds the door open and I go in first.
“I love your little waddle.”
I turn around and glare at him. “What did you say?”
