The Baby Project: Book 1

Chapter 3

Emma's POV

Detention was the most boring thing I have ever done. Never ever doing that shit again. I was walking out of the classroom and to my locker to get some things I forgot before. As I reached my locker I noticed that Blake was at the other end of the hallway staring at me. That's not creepy.

"Um, can I help you with something?" I said

"Nope" Blake said popping the 'p'

"Then can you quit staring at me it's weird." I mumbled turning my attention back to my locker

"Okay Princess" He said with a smirk as he started walking towards me

"Can you stop calling me that!? I'm not a princess nor will I ever be." I said in a pissed off tone, opening my locker

"You take things way to seriously. You need to learn how to live a little" Blake said while smiling

"I do not. I'm very fun!" I defended

"Yeah okay. Now that I got your attention, do you want a ride home so we can get this baby stuff over with" Blake rolled his eyes getting right to the point

"Actually I drove my car to school this morning. I thought you wanted to come over at 7?" I asked in a confused tone, shutting my locker

I thought I saw something change in his eyes. Fear? Anger? I don't know but it wasn't good.

"Change of plans. Can I just follow your car to your place?" Blake quickly

"Sure?" I said repositioning our doll in my arms.

He took my arm and dragged me out of the building and quickly dropped me off at my car.

Someone's in a rush.

"I parked five cars over just wait till you see me" he spoke before walking away.

I sighed and got inside my car. I laid the doll on the passenger seat and backed out of my spot. I saw Blake's car soon do the same and began driving towards my house.

Like I said before I live really close so the ride was about 2 minutes. We pulled up in front of my medium size white house. I loved my house it wasn't too big and it wasn't too small. Also my dad changed the attic into a room. No one knows about it except people in my family. It's mostly my hiding space to escape the world.

We walked into the house to be greeted with silence. My parents work a lot so this doesn't surprise me at all. I noticed that Blake hasn't said anything yet. That's strange he usually would've said something rude by now. It's weird having him in my house. If you told me last week that Blake Stevens would be currently standing in my house I think I would barf, faint, laugh, or all three.

"Where's the bathroom?" He asked

"Upstairs to the left" I directed him

"Thanks" he replied and made his way up the stairs.

I should make snacks right? Let's see, if I was Blake Stevens what would I eat? Garbage? Rats? Children? I'm just making sandwiches he will just have to suffer.

When I got into the living room Blake was sitting there holding the baby. Aw, that's actually really cute, wait I mean ew.

"Uh I made us snacks" I said placing the snacks and drinks on the table

"Awesome thanks Em!" Blake chirped

Why is he smiling? I admit his smile is hot but why is he smiling. I thought I'd never seen this day. Did he just call me Em?

"So let's get started" he said while rubbing his hands together

"Well I was thinking, what should we name it?" I asked sitting down on the couch

"If it's a girl can I name it please?" Blake begged getting into this whole project thing

Well that's a first. Blake actually wants to participate

"Yeah sure" I replied

I changed its diaper to find out that it indeed was a girl. I guess Blake will have to name her. I can see him naming her something terrible, oh God.

"It's a girl Blake so name her" I sighed handing him the doll

"I like the name Ruth as in Babe Ruth" Blake suggested smiling at the name

"No, I'm not naming our daughter after him" I groaned as I rubbed my temples

"Why not?! He was a legend!" Blake defended himself

"So what?!" I exclaimed falling back in exhaustion.

There was almost 5 minutes of silence before Blake spoke up again

"Fine, how about Nichole?" Blake quietly asked me

"Yeah fine ok put that down" I told him

Wow that's actually really normal. I can see the name actually growing on me.

***

"Ugh I'm pooped" I sighed as I laid back on the couch

"Same but we got a lot done" Blake nodded

Its true, we decided to take turns taking care of Nichole. Tonight I have her and tomorrow Blake has her. I mean we fought on a lot of minor things but hey it's not like we are best friends and get along.

"Well I have to go it's, uh getting late" Blake said looking at his phone

"Yeah ok, see you tomorrow I guess" I said awkwardly

"Bye, you two have fun" he said winking at me

I immediately felt my cheeks turn red and turned away. Em, pull yourself together he is staring at you and you look like a mess.

"Uh, well bye" I said again

"Bye"

He started to leave the room but before he left he went over to Nichole and kissed her little head. That was so fucking cute. I was going to say something but he just rushed out after before I could. Something is definitely up but I think I like this side of him.
