"Penny!"
I turned around to see Rob running toward me. When he reached me, he immediately wrapped his arms around me and lifted me into the air. "He's going to be okay!" He laughed as he spun me around in a circle. "Oh, shit." He immediately set me back down on my feet. "You don't think that hurt the baby?"
Not more than me not eating for the past week. "No. Of course not." But I really had no idea what I could and couldn't do while I was pregnant. I knew literally nothing about being a mother. And I suddenly felt completely unprepared.
"Hey," Daphne said and gave me a hug. "Let me get you something to eat. You must be starving."
I could have imagined it, but it seemed like she had glanced down at my stomach. I stared at Rob as Daphne walked away.
He looked guilty.
"Did you tell her?"
He shrugged. "I'm sorry. You can't tell me something like that and expect me to keep it to myself. It's exciting news. Everyone should know."
"And everyone can know as soon as James does."
Rob nodded and gave me a big smile. "I'm going to be an uncle."
I laughed. "Yes. So who else did you tell?"
"Just Daphne, I swear. I have this thing where I don't want to keep anything from her. Everything just kind of spills out."
I smiled. "That's good." In a lot of ways Rob was like James. I was glad to know that they didn't share the keeping secrets from their loved ones trait. Nothing good ever came from that.
"Yeah. But I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything."
"No, it's okay. It's sweet that you wanted to share the good news with her."
"And she won't tell anyone. She's always just hanging out with me anyway."
"Rob, that's incredibly sweet."
He shrugged. "Why does everyone seemed surprised when I do something sweet? I'm a sweet guy." He winked at me.
"Because usually you're acting inappropriate."
"Me?" He pretended to look shocked. "What are you talking about, my new favorite MILF?"
"And there it is." I rolled my eyes at him.
He laughed and pulled me in for another hug. "He's really going to be okay?"
"The doctor said it was looking good. He's waking up. It's going to take a few days, but, he's waking up." I could feel myself getting teary eyed.He's coming back to me.
Rob kissed my forehead and then released me from his hug.
"I have a favor to ask. At first I thought I should wait for James. But I haven't been eating and I'm worried maybe...I don't know if...I just want to make sure the baby is okay."
"I'm sure it's fine."
"Right. Yeah, never mind. I was just being silly."
"No, what were you going to ask me?"
"Would you maybe come with me for the ultrasound? I know it's a strange thing to ask, I'm just kind of scared to do it by myself. And if something's wrong I'm going to need..."
"Me?"
