It was now April 23rd, and Ashton was leaving tomorrow. I was sad, but happy for Ashton. I had an ultrasound a few days ago for my 37 week checkup. I was getting really big, and Ashton and I were really excited. I hope that I make it to my due date, but I hope I don't. I want Ashton to be home right when I go into labor, but that means I'll have to carry the baby longer than I actually want to. I'm getting tired of carrying the baby around.

Ashton and I have been dating for over a year now!! I loved what we did for our anniversary. Ashton recreated our first date. It was really fun.

Another thing, Logan and Layla had their baby on April 19th. They named him Jackson Ethan Higgins. Jackson, just because they like the name, then the middle name Ethan because my dad's name was Ethan. Jackson weighed 7lbs 9oz. I got to hold him for the first time after Layla, Logan, then my mum held him. He made me get really excited to have my own baby. Ashton held him after I did, and he loved it. He told me that it made him really excited too.

Talia is now 23 weeks (with a baby girl!! Yay!!) and going on tour with the boys. She kind of has to, because she is their wardrobe stylist. I hope she isn't going to have the baby on tour, that the baby will be born during the break in July, but I don't know. She is due on August 12th, and the break in July ends on July 30th.

Back to Ashton leaving for tour, he had all of his things packed, and in his suitcase, he had a copy of the 37 week ultrasound. I made sure that he was going to call me when he landed in Bogota (where they are going first), then every day, even if it was early or late here (since we are 16 hours ahead of them). He said that he would, and I hoped he would keep his promise. I knew he was going to be busy, but hopefully he had time to FaceTime me so we can see how each other are doing.

Ashton and I went to bed on April 23rd, and I slept until Ashton's alarm went off at 4:30am so we would get to the airport, and so they can get on their flight: 7:30am flight to Bogota. Ashton and I both showered and got dressed, then got into the car and started driving to the airport.

"Babe, I'm going to miss you and the baby" he said to me.

"We're going to miss you too" I spoke for me and the baby.

"But I'm going to be home soon.. in about 2 1/2 weeks"

"Yeah. I can't wait till then"

We arrived at the airport, and we met up with the boys. They went through security and all of that, then we were just waiting for them to start boarding the flight. Ashton stood with me the whole time, holding my hand.

"Ashton, call me when you get there, okay?" I made sure he remembered.

"I know, babe. I will." He promised.

"7:30 flight to Bogota now boarding. First call for 7:30 flight to Bogota" we heard boom through the airport.

"That's us, babe" Ashton told me.

"But you guys don't have to go yet. That was only the first call"

"Okay. I'll stay. But only until the next call"

A few minutes later, we heard again, "Second and last call for 7:30 flight to Bogota.Second and last call for 7:30 flight to Bogota".

"I gotta go, babe" Ashton looked at me, almost crying.

"Okay" I chocked out. I was crying too.

"Don't worry, babe, I'll be back soon. Just wait for me. Don't let the baby come until I get back"

"I'll try" I said before swallowing.

Ashton kissed me goodbye, then he started to walk away, our hands slowly separating. He gave the lady his ticket, turned around to me, blew me a kiss, then walked onto the plane. I kept crying, it's just that I haven't been away from Ashton for more than a day since we started dating.

Saige dropped me off at my house. I was supposed to be on bed rest, but I wasn't going to stay home and miss Ashton leaving. At least I didn't drive. I was home, and all I did was listen to their songs. I listened to Wherever You Are. I thought about how the first part, before the first chorus, is so much like what just happened. "You were crying at the airport when they finally closed the plane doors. I could barely hold it all inside" sounded just like what happened.

The next day, I waited and waited for a call. I knew that it would take about 24 hours to get there, but he should've called by 9:30 the next morning. I sound selfish, but I want to make sure Ashton is okay. Finally, at 11am my phone rang. Ashton was FaceTiming me. I hit accept, and Ashton's face popped up in the screen.

"Hi Madds" he said.

"Hi Ashton. I miss you already.. How was the flight?"

"Boring, like always"

"Okay. How are you?"

"Good. What about you and the baby? Doing good?"

"Yeah. Baby is kicking a little more now. Seems like it knows you're gone"

He just giggled. Then, in the background, I heard one of the boys yell, "Ashton!!" It was Calum.

"Fuck.." Ashton murmured.

"Hey, don't swear" I warned, "especially around the baby"

"It can't hear me, can it?"

"Yeah, it can. Kind of"

"Ashton!!!" I heard from Calum again.

"Sorry babe, I gotta go. I'll call you tomorrow, okay?" He told me.

"Okay. Talk to you then" I said and he hung up after kissing the camera.

I just put my phone away, then watched Family Guy and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Both of the shows reminded me of Ashton. They were the shows we usually watched together. I watched them anyways. That night, all I did was watch those shows and eat. I had cravings for lemons and pickles, so I ate a lot of lemons and pickles. Saige came to my house to help me, since I was pretty much not supposed to do anything. I was supposed to lay on the couch all day and only move to go to bed at night. But that was boring, so I moved a little more than I was supposed to. Saige got a lot of my stuff for me. If I was hungry, she would get it for me. Saige just slept in one of the guest rooms. I sleep in our bed, and by "our" I mean Ashton's and my bed, which would be only mine for a few weeks.

The next day, Ashton didn't call me at all. Saige told me that he was probably at a meeting all day and was really tired then forgot to call me, but I was worried. Ashton promised that he would call me every day, no matter what. He didn't call me the next day until 7pm. That meant it was 3am there. I accepted the call, then Ashton's face was on the screen.

"Babe," He said.

"Ash.. Why are you calling when it's 3am there?"

"I realized that I hadn't called you yesterday, then I went to sleep, but woke up and thought of you"

"Ash, that's nice, but you need your sleep."

"I'd rather talk to you than sleep"

"But Ash, you have really long days, and you need sleep"

"Babe, I'm fine. Now, how are you and the baby?"

"Good now that I've talked to you. But I have been having lots of cravings. Since I'm on bed rest, Saige is here to get stuff for me. SAIGE COME HERE"

Saige ran up to me, and asked what I wanted. I said that I was calling Ashton.

"Thanks Saige" Ashton thanked her.

"No problem" Saige replied.

"Okay, babe, I am kinda tired. I promise I will call you tomorrow"

"Okay. Bye"

"Bye babe"

He kissed the camera like he did last time, then ended the call. I liked FaceTiming Ashton, but it's not the same. I don't get to hold him and hug him and kiss him and cuddle him. It's different. All I get to do is see him and talk to him. I can't wait 2 1/2 weeks. This is going to be so hard.
