I can't help but daze out while driving home. I felt lost and like I didn't know what I was doing with life. It felt weird not having a pathway or goal set, at this point I just wasn't sure what I was doing anymore.
I'm only 25, I'm not married and I'm only getting started with life and my career. Was having a child really something I can add to the list? It's not easy having a child, I love kids and having a baby means full attention and full care. I was scared that I would not be there for my child as much like how my mom was always away or was working late when I was younger. I'm not sure if I'm ready to start raising a child and at the same time, continue on with building my career. But then I also didn't want to have to choose what to keep...
Then there was the question about Dylan. I couldn't help but wonder if he still truly loves me, or does he only love me because of the baby? After Lexi's wedding, none of us called or talked to each other until the gala where he found out I was pregnant. We wouldn't even be in contact at the moment if it wasn't because I was pregnant and I feel like that's the only reason he wants to try to make us work again. I didn't want to hold him back, and hold my self back. But I didn't want to strip away a life thats growing inside me just because of what I wanted.

I walk into my apartment and drop onto my couch. I felt exhausted and stressed out. I had to make a decision, but I couldn't do this alone. Dylan still had a right and say when it came to the decision making because it's his kid too. I decide to call him back, it rings a few times before he answers

"Hello" I hear him speak through the phone

"Hey" I answer back

"How are you feeling?" He asks me

"I'm good, and you?" I ask

"I just finished work and I'm going home" he says

I wonder if he still lives in the same penthouse. How much has changed in the past 7 years? I really haven't gotten to catch up or anything with Dylan.

"Oh that's good..." I answer back, then there's an awkward silence

After a few seconds, Dylan clears his throat and speaks
"Well, I just wanted to let you know that I'm flying out tomorrow evening to come see you"

"Oh that's perfect, I have an ultrasound appointment after tomorrow" I say

"Great, my plane lands at around 7pm tomorrow" he says

"Ok, do you want me to pick you up?" I ask him

"No it's ok, I know your busy-" I cut him off

"No I'm not busy tomorrow, I can pick you up" I state, I wanted to seem more friendly. I didn't wanna seem rude

"Ok then I'll see you tomorrow" he says

"Great, bye" I say and hang up the phone

I spend the next morning sketching a few designs at home and watching Netflix. When it was time, I got up and went to pick up Dylan. I drive to the airport and go to the private section and see him get off the plane. I get out of the car and go towards him.

"Hey!" He says coming towards me and opening his arms for a hug

"Hi" I respond with a smile and give him a hug

Shortly after, we get into the car. I bought my dream car a year after Carlos and I started our business. I finally was able to purchase this beautiful White Tesla and it's my baby.

"How have you been? How's everything with you and the baby?" Dylan asks with a huge smile while we're driving home

"Uh, everythings good" I say forcing a smile back. Even though I was happy to see him, I still felt uneasy and nervous since I wasn't too sure what I wanted to do and how he would react

We make small talk and soon after I reach home. We take the elevator up and enter my apartment

"The guest room is just over there" I say and point towards the room's door. Even though we said we will try to make things work, I still wasn't too comfortable sleeping together yet. Like that's a whole other level, I want to take things slow.
He moves his bags into the guest room and I decide to warm up some food.

I warm up some lasagna and we both sit on the table

"God I'm so hungry" I say while smelling the food

"So what time is your appointment tomorrow?" Dylan asks

"Oh ya, I have an ultrasound appointment tomorrow. Uh I believe it's at 2pm? Not sure, I'll have to check" I say and continue eating

"What do you mean your not sure? Mia this is important. You have to take this seriously. Your pregnant with OUR baby for gods sake" he starts to say angrily

Whoa. What the hell?
"Dylan calm down. Jeez I'm sorry for being a human that forgets" I say while rolling my eyes
Same old Dylan....
