Week 4.2

Read 4.5 more hours of at first sight and finished it. Total time 19 hours. The rest of the book is about Jeremy moving down to Boone Creek, NC from New York, NY to be with Lexie. It's a big adjustment he's not sure how to fit in and he has no friends. In the town there is a man named Rodney who is dating Rachel, but is secretly in love with Lexie. Lexie doesn't want anyone to know of the pregnancy at least not yet. Jeremy tells his best friend Alvin who isn't too excited about him getting married to someone he barely knows. Lexie works at the library so Jeremy would go there every day and try to get some writing done for his newspaper article back in New York. He is not able to write anything. Lexie's Grandma Doris gives him a book of proof showing all the people she predicted the sex of their babies all correctly. He wasn't sure if he wanted to use it. One day Jeremy caught Lexie at a park with Rodney and they were holding hands, but she never mentioned anything to him. She also found her at his house after finding that Rachel was missing. He began to wonder if he trusted her at all. He also found in Doris's book Lexie's initials. She never said anything about it at all to him. During that time they bought a house and started renovations which were draining Jeremy's bank account.
The day of Jeremy leaving to go to his bachelor party in NY him and Lexie got into a huge fight and he left. She thought he'd never come back. At the party, Jeremy had time to talk to his dad and his father told him that Lexie had been calling them, sending pictures and post cards of how they had been doing and he never knew it. It turns out when Rachel was gone she had visited Alvin in NY and she had spilled out all of the drama between Jeremy and Lexie. Alvin and Jeremy got into a huge fight, and Jeremy said he never wanted to see Alvin again and left to go back home to Lexie.
When he got there, they both apologized. They were good. The baby kept on getting bigger and their wedding was approaching. They had their wedding which was small and romantic just like she wanted. They later found out that the baby maybe born with a amniotic band causing deformities. Every 2 weeks they went there for an ultrasound always being negative. The day of the birth came. The baby was born healthy and well. But after labor, they heard Lexie gasping. She had died right after labor. Jeremy was devistated and almost even hated his daughter Claire because of what she took from him until he saw her. She was beautiful just like her mother and grew up to be just like her.
