But she had managed, somehow. Not that anyone would have probably blamed Katie if she couldn’t… finding out she was pregnant not long after she had started dating Aaron and then to just have him freak out and take off on her… no, nobody would have blamed her if she couldn’t handle it. But at about five months pregnant, she was starting to feel fine again. Everything had been going smoothly with her pregnancy so far, and despite how hard she knew that it was going to be, raising a baby on her own, she was looking forward to being a mother. Thankfully everything had worked out with work… she was doing office work more than anything right now because she couldn’t afford to go on maternity leave so early, and considering she worked with horses for the most part she couldn’t really afford to go near any that would possibly injure her, which wouldn’t bother her normally but she was pregnant now so of course that all changed. But they had been happy to let her do administrative stuff once she had told them, and she definitely wasn’t complaining, even though she preferred working with animals to it. And Belle had been riding Gibson and Cass for her, so she didn’t have to worry about her two horses, and she helped her look after them when she couldn’t get out to the barn. All in all, it was going well. She knew that it was going to be harder when the baby was actually here, but she was sure she could manage then… if not, there was always the option of moving back to her hometown to be closer to her parents and brother so that they could help her out, but she didn’t really want to leave Addison and the life she did have here. Oh well, that would be a problem that she would make a decision on when it came around to it. For now, she was fine here. Sighing a little, she looked around her apartment. She’d had a day off work and she needed to clean the place up a bit, but all she really wanted to do was go and nap right now. If she was this tired only five months in, her baby bump still fairly small and compact for the time being, she hated to think how she was going to be nearing the end of nine months. donte | 419 | outfit | whee a post

A lot had changed for Aaron in the past five months. First he had knocked up a girl he barely knew but had liked, then he had become her boyfriend and then he had found about the pregnancy. And it was safe to say he had blown his shit. His crap had hit the fan and he had freaked out more than he expected himself too. And it was wrong of him to do so, to just up and leave her like that but in his mind he had had no choice. His mind had told him to get out of there, to leave and not let himself get hurt like that again. And he hadn't told her, he'd barely even given a reason before he up and left. And he felt bad for that, worse than bad, terrible, awful. Like the worst human being who had ever walked the planet. Although he did console himself and told himself Hitler had been a worse guy...but even he hadn't left his kids or his wife. He had poisoned them though so...

But still, Aaron had been plagued with guilt about the whole thing, knowing as soon as he had left that he had made the wrong decision. But he didn't turn back, he hadn't been brave enough he had been too terrified of the consequences. He had sold all his horses and went right out into the Texas country, possibly in an effort to find himself, or maybe just to find work. But he definitely found both. Work found him first though and he had set to work as a cowboy, working on a ranch in the deep south, not really knowing an awful lot about cattle or even how to ride western. But his knowledge on horses had impressed the other guys and he had been given the task of riding out with them and backing their new, young horses. He had liked the job sure, but he had missed Katie like mad.

So what had made him return? Well, missing Katie had been a big part of it of course but something else had happened. He had helped give birth to a child. Well actually the women had done the pushing, but he had been the only one there to coax her through it and help her out. He didn't know how he had done it, but he had been on the phone with a doctor throughout the process and had had his head in between her legs. And this, this had given him the proof he needed. If he could deliver a baby without anything going wrong, then he was sure he could chance it with Katie, knowing his previous experience was a freak occurrence. He knew he'd have to tell Katie this and he would, which was why he was stood on her doorstep and ringing the bell. Hopefully she would look past his scruffy exterior and recognise him.

And then not kick him in the balls.

Not many guys were thrilled when they found out their girlfriend of only a few months was pregnant… especially considering the first time they had slept together wasn’t even exactly meant to happen, they hadn’t even been together until after that. She guessed that she was just lucky that she was able to process it all rationally, or she probably would have been a mess already. Hearing a knock on the door pulled her away from staring at everything she needed to clean in her apartment, she’d let her mind wander off… something that seemed to happen a lot more lately, she guessed that the hormones and everything were just playing with her… walking to the door to her apartment to answer it, not recalling if anyone was meant to be visiting her today. It was probably just a neighbour, or the landlord coming to check on something, nothing too important. That or it was one of the rare door to door salespeople that ventured into the apartment building, although that didn’t happen a lot around here, thankfully. When she opened the door, she definitely wasn’t expecting who was on the other side. She gripped the doorknob tightly, using it to almost hold herself up, even though really, clinging to a door wasn’t the most stable thing she could have chosen, staring at him for a couple of moments in pure shock. She wasn’t really sure whether she should slam the door in his face, or hug him, or start crying, or start yelling, or just what to do in general. All of what she was feeling was probably made worse by the pregnancy hormones, and trying to process it all was just not going to happen right now. “Aaron?” It was about all she could manage to choke out right now, not really sure what else to say. Well, she had plenty of questions but just couldn’t voice them right now, not with the initial shock of it all. donte | 377 | outfit | whee a post
