Time for the baby to come out..

It has been 4 months since Miguel, the used to be stranger, made a sort of deal with me. I thought that he was lying when he told me the things he said, but I was wrong. Every day he would come by my house with gifts for the baby, give me income when I couldn't find a job and go with me whenever I went to the hospital, for a check up for my growing baby.

And also everyday my feelings for him grew although I tell myself it is only because he was very attractive. It was true though, whenever I go out with him people look at me with jealousy and envy. Multiple of times they mistook me as his wife who was pregnant with his child. Whenever I try to clear the misunderstanding Miguel would just shake his head and smile like always.

Right now I was currently 8 months pregnant and was at my home talking with Layla. Even though I was no longer working at Clarity, Layla would always visit me from time to time.

"So anything romantic happened with you and Miguel?" Layla teased.

I sighed and placed my cup on the table. I rubbed my already big belly. " This again Layla. Me and Miguel have nothing plus...he hasn't really showed signs of having an interest in me." I pointed at my belly" Plus a relationship is not my priority, but this child of mine"

Layla nodded understanding." But I do really wonder why he has been caring and taking such care of you though?" she hummed.

There was a knock on the door. "I'll get it" Layla told me. I didn't move from my seat and looked at the window in thought.

'I wonder what Father is doing and Rihanna. She didn't complete her promise, but I am still grateful for her past friendship. I wonder how she is doing and Father? I still love them very much.Is Father doing fine without me? Does he miss me? Will I forever be what I am today?' I unconsciously thought about Miguel.

'Will Miguel disappoint me like the rest, when I already am starting to have some feelings for him?' I shook my head to get rid of these thoughts. ' The past is the past plus Miguel hasn't shown any interest in me and he did promise me..'

~~Flashback

It was two months ago. I was trying to reach a jar but couldn't because of my height and belly.

"Damm it!" I yelled frustrated and was getting exhausted.

Suddenly a hand reached the jar out of no where. I turned around to meet a pair of silver eyes.

"Miguel how did you get in?" I asked flustered. He showed me a pair of keys which caught me off guard.

"You got an extra pair?" I asked.

" Yes" was his reply.

"I will change the lock, you know" I told him which he just shrugged.

He handed me the jar and walked to the living room, which I followed. "Thanks" I muttered. He nodded hearing what I said.

He sat on the sofa opposite of me. I was used to the way he just walked around like he owned the place, but that didn't mean I didn't get annoyed.

"..."

"Sooo..what brings here?" I asked getting uncomfortable by the silence.

"I can't visit a friend" he smiled.

"Of course you can. I... nevermind, so I will get you something to drink" I said and was about to walk past him but he pulled me down next to him.

I blushed. "What are you doing!" I yelled and turned to face him, yet again he had an unreadable expression.

'His hard to read sometimes'

He smiled. "I'm your friend right?" I nodded. "Then stop treating me like a stranger and relax. You are always wary and on guard around me. I don't bite, you know" he said.

I thought of what he said. "Yeah you are my friend but it will take time for me to get used to you. Also...like all my other past friends they left me.

You may be helping me right now but not forever. Although I am still cautious of what you really want." I whispered the last part.

He took a hold of one of my hands. I blushed a deeper shade. He looked at me his silver eyes penetrating my blue ones.

'I don't think I, a pregnant woman can take this staring contest! My poor pounding heart!'

He whispered. "Then, I promise to be by your side as your friend and helper." he looked serious so I sort of believed him. I nodded in return and took my hand from his grasp. 'I feel a bit reassured then' I thought.

~~End of Flashback

"Hey. I brought snacks" said a husky and deep voice. I turned around and smiled happily.

"Oh Miguel it's you" I stood up to greet him but stopped. Unexpectedly I almost fell down but Miguel caught me, though right now I was feeling great pain coming from my womb.

"Look Sasha Miguel brought-" Layla stopped talking when she saw Miguel holding my hand as I was touching my belly in pain.

"Layla get my car ready..I think she is about to give birth.."
