Bree smiled and took Holden’s hand. “It’s okay…I offered. I’m okay with it.” She whispered before pausing for a moment, trying to figure out where Z was kicking. When she felt the quick movement, she smiled and placed Holden’s hand on her swollen stomach, smiling as the baby kicked against her stomach directly under his hand. “Feel it?” She asked, smiling. She knew that this was a feeling she would never get used to. That it was the most amazing feeling in the world. She giggled as the baby moved quickly and she looked at Holden. “I think Z’s saying hi to you.” She said, biting her lip. “They know you’re an amazing person. That you’re really special to me.” She sighed contently, closing her eyes.
“Y-yeah,” he stuttered. Holden had never felt anything like it. The was no word to describe the wonderment that feeling Aubree’s child moving brought Holden. It made all of this seem very real. It wasn’t that Holden was in denial of Aubree’s pregnancy, but now he was picturing Bree in a nursery, holding a bundle of blankets in her arms and smiling wide. The Bree in his mind seemed happy, even happier than the real Bree that was right beside him, and that was . This one simple touch made Holden realize how much Bree meant to him, but it didn’t tell him in what way. All he knew was that he wanted her to be happy, to have a healthy baby, to be surrounded by people who loved her, and more than anything, to be happy.
“You’re special to me, too,” Holden said. He took his hand away from Bree’s stomach and laid back down beside her. His hand found hers in the darkness and he said, “Thanks, Bree. You’re the first real friend I’ve had. You know that? It’s always been just me and my music, but now I’ve got you as a friend, and soon you’ll have Z, and it’s just-. I’m really happy, Bree, really, really, happy.”
Bree’s smile widened as Holden told her that she was special to him, too. As he took her hand again, she sighed contently, listening to him talk. She rolled onto her side, looking at him as he spoke. Hearing him tell her how she was his first friend brought even more happiness to her which was hard to do, but it did.
“Well, I’m glad that I’m your friend. You’re the first person that I’ve really opened up about everything. Not just about what happened, but about…everything. All my other friends, they just…they’re different. I can’t talk to them like I can talk about you. About the stars, museums, my writing…it’s not that they’d laugh so to say..they just wouldn’t understand. They’re all about sex and…and finding a girlfriend or boyfriend. But you…you’re different. You take time to see the beauty in the world. And I’m really glad that you can trust me. It makes it all that much easier to trust you.” She sighed contently and moved closer to him, resting her head against his shoulder. “I’m glad you’re happy.” She said quietly.

Bree laughed again, excitement running through her as she nodded. “Yeah!” She said, biting her lip. “It…it feels like little butterflies fluttering around in there. I thought it was just muscle spasms or something because it’s normal but then I felt it on my hand and…just…wow…” Bree was amazed. Her eyes were sparking and she grinned, looking at Holden.
“Do…do you want to feel it?” She asked, biting her lip. The only person she’d really let touch her expanding stomach so far was Tyler, and that was before she was even really showing. Now, while wearing the empire wasted dress, her belly was visibly swollen and she looked pregnant. Seeing Holden’s smile and seeing that he was happy just as she was, it only made her heart beat faster. God I can’t be falling for someone right now… she thought as she bit her lip, waiting for his response.
The look in Aubree’s eyes reminded Holden of the sparkle he saw in them the other night. The light that shined behind them was beginning to come one of Holden’s favorite things about Bree. Holden was hesitant at first when Aubree asked if he wanted to feel Z move. He wasn’t sure if it was because he was just nervous, or because he thought Bree might still be nervous about guys touching her. She had to have felt comfortable with him, though, or she wouldn’t have asked. With that thought to reassure him, Holden nodded.
Bree smiled and took Holden’s hand. “It’s okay…I offered. I’m okay with it.” She whispered before pausing for a moment, trying to figure out where Z was kicking. When she felt the quick movement, she smiled and placed Holden’s hand on her swollen stomach, smiling as the baby kicked against her stomach directly under his hand. “Feel it?” She asked, smiling. She knew that this was a feeling she would never get used to. That it was the most amazing feeling in the world. She giggled as the baby moved quickly and she looked at Holden. “I think Z’s saying hi to you.” She said, biting her lip. “They know you’re an amazing person. That you’re really special to me.” She sighed contently, closing her eyes.
