Chapter Thirty Eight

Stella Newton

I was awoken by the sound of my phone ringing. I groaned and sat up wondering why someone chose to call me at this time of the night. I rubbed my eyes and took up my phone before looking at the caller's ID.

Daryl.

I answered and went under my blankets and pulled it up to my chest.

"Hello".

"I'm sorry for calling this late but I wanted to hear your voice".

"oh really?, I replied as a smile sprung to my face.

Yes, when I got back from the meeting I was tired and I fell asleep, I just woke up and wanted to make sure you were alright".

"I'm fine, I said as I fumbled with the sheets. Was it weird that his rough voice sounded so hot right now?

"Stella, I want us to talk about the baby".

"I want us to talk about the baby too. Not only the baby, but about us too".

"Yeah, we definitely need to talk about us".
