Interesting Things Happen At School: Baby Boy Chapter One: The Day That Changed Our Lives
XxX
JACK
Everything was a blur: the man, the birth...my son. One moment we were in the middle of math and the next I was in the middle of labor scene. I'm probably not making much sense, so let me back up.
Today I started out my day by exchanging a couple comments with my friends that made coming to school worth it, then the Wasabi Warriors and I headed to homeroom and first period, which was math.
We all sat near each other.
In the middle of class, a man that looks like he's in his mid-thirties, came in and looked around until his eyes settled on Kim, then he looked at me with a look that gave me chills.
The classroom had gone silent. It was that way until Kim let out an agonized scream. She fell off her seat and landed on the hard floor with a look of shock on her face.
I glanced back at the entrance of the classroom to find that the man was gone and quickly got to Kim's side. I knelt down next to her and was pulled into a quick hug.
When I pulled away, I noticed there was a puddle of water where Kim was sitting and on her pants.
My eyes widened and Kim let go of me, clutching her stomach, then she let out another horrifying scream.
"Find help!" I shouted at our teacher, who was frozen.
She came out of her trance and sent students to get help, while she knelt down next to Kim.
Milton, Jerry and Eddie also knelt down to Kim's level.
Kim tilted her head back and let out another scream, squeezing my arm on the process. I rubbed her back and she stopped screaming, coming to her senses.
She took a big breath and put her free hand on her stomach, rubbing it.
"Kim. Kim, are you okay? What's happening to you? Where does it hurt?" Ms.
Williamson asked.
"My tummy hurts," Kim said slowly and quietly. "It feels like somebody's tearing me open from the inside and on top of that, somebody's nailing nails down there."
Only the closest people to Kim-Mrs, Williamson, the Wasabi Warriors and me-heard that. The rest of the students were standing around staring.
All of a sudden, Kim leaned away from me and vomited.
The other kids made rude comments and were sent away from Kim by the teacher.
The school nurse came into the room with a horrified expression and made all the kids go away, including the Wasabi Warriors.
She wanted to throw me out of the room too, but Kim begged her to let me stay, which she did.
I pulled Kim's sticky hair back from her forehead just as she let out a scream.
She looked around the room bewildered and touched her forehead, which was sweaty.
"It's too hot here," she said and tried taking off her sweater, but was interrupted by another scream, this time it was longer.
When she finished I helped her take off her sweater.
"Nurse, what's wrong with her?" I asked the nurse, who was speaking with Mrs.
Williamson.
"Oh, dear," she said. "Becca, go get a towel, water, a pair of scissors and a warm jacket or blanket."
Our teacher ran to the sink and started gathering the things that were needed.
Nurse Rose knelt down and made Kim lay down her head on my lap.
Kim let out another scream as the nurse received the pair of scissors and started cutting away quickly at her pants.
As Kim came around again, I could see the pain and fear evident on her face.
During this whole time, I'd been sitting by, doing nothing. Shocked. Now it was up to me to make her feel better despite the fact that I didn't know if she WAS going to be better.
I combed Kim's hair and soothingly said, "It's going to be okay, Kim. You'll see, everything will turn out fine."
"What if it doesn't Jack? What if there's something really bad going on with me?" she asked, fear eminent in her voice.
"Trust me, Kim, if something really bad does happen, I'm here. I'm going to help you through this. Trust me."
I looked at the nurse, who was cutting at Kim's underwear. I couldn't help but blush and looked back at Kim's face.
It was full of agony again and I prepared myself for the scream, which did come.
"Push, Kim! Push!" the nurse said.
Kim made a grunting noise as my eyes widened and I thought 'What? Push? This can't be possible, Kim isn't even pregnant!'
"I can see the head," the nurse said. "Kim, good job, but I need you to take a deep breath and push the next time a contraction comes, okay?"
"What?" Kim said and let out a scream, she held on harder to me and her body made a weird wave-like motion.
"That's it, Kim. I need you to do this a couple more times and your baby will be out."
"I don't understand, nurse. How am I pregnant? How? I'm a virgin!"
The next minutes went by slowly as Kim pushed the baby out of her body.
The nurse cut the umbilical cord with the scissors and hit the baby's bottom, making it cry.
"It's a boy. You have a beautiful, healthy baby boy, Kim," the nurse said and started cleaning the baby up.
I let out the air that I'd been holding and looked down at Kim, who was already looking up at me.
I leaned down and kissed her sweaty forehead. I smiled slowly.
"See, Kim? I told you everything was going to be okay. You did a really good job, Kimmy."
"Thank you, Jack," Kim croaked out.
I smiled.
"You're welcome. I'm here for you whenever you need me, just please don't have any more babies. My arm feels dead."
Kim's eyes widened and she let go of my arm.
"Sorry," she said with a very small smile playing in her lips.
The nurse put the crying baby in Kim's arms. Kim, as well as me, watched him in amazement.
"He's beautiful," Kim whispered. I nodded slightly.
The baby was completely red and really really tiny. His whole body could probably fit in my hand.
"Not that this isn't a cute family moment, but Kim, you should feed your son.
He appears to be very hungry," the nurse said.
I looked up at the nurse with curiosity as a clicking noise went off and was barely heard over the baby's cries.
"What do you mean?" Kim asked just as curious as I.
"Breastfeed of course," the nurse said.
Kim and I exchanged looks. This really was a weird day, but it must be weirder for Kim.
"Kim, would you like me to take Jack out of the room, or would you like him to stay? I understand he's the baby's father, so that's why it's up to you," Mrs.
Williamson said.
Kim and I exchanged and at the same time said, "What?"
"He's the baby's father isn't he? The baby looks like him and that's the impression you both gave me. Aren't you two dating?" Mrs. Williamson said.
"No!" Kim and I said at the same time, then I looked at the baby closely. He did looked like me up to some extent.
"Anyhow, do I throw him out or does he stay? The clock's ticking and your baby's hungry."
Kim looked up at me and I could see the knot in her throat.
"I would like it if he stayed, but it's up to you, Jack," she said.
I nodded.
"I'm staying then."
Mrs. Williamson and the nurse had cleared off a space in the middle of the classroom so that Kim could have stretched out her legs without hitting a desk.
Mrs. Williamson and Nurse Rose helped Kim sit up. I moved away and sat in a chair and looked away as Nurse Rose taught Kim how to nurse her son, excuse me. OUR son.
As I thought to myself, the situation finally settled in. A man had come into the math classroom and out of nowhere Kim's stomach starts to hurt, then she gave birth to a tiny baby boy that looked sort of like me, but couldn't BE mine. Then again, Kim had said she was a virgin and she'd given birth to a baby not too long ago. Now he was supposed to be MINE. Mine. That was crazy.
Impossible, yet he was here.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw that even though Kim's pants and underwear where gone, she'd been covered up (thankfully) and she looked really happy despite the fact that she just gave birth.
The principal entered the math classroom and everyone went silent.
"What's going on in here?" she said.
"Kim just gave birth," Nurse Rose said as she got up.
"Can I talk to you privately?" our principal asked. The nurse nodded.
Then she looked around the room and her eyes settled on me.
"Jack? What are YOU doing in here. All the other students are outside, why are you in here?"
"I asked him to stay with me," Kim said. "He's my best friend and apparently, he's my son's father."
Our principal looked at me, then at Kim and the little bundle that she was holding close to her chest.
"What do you mean 'apparently'? Don't you know who your child's father is? And how have you been hiding the fact of your pregnancy for so long?"
Mrs. Pearson looked like she was going to explode.
I got up from my seat and stood in front of Kim, facing Principal Pearson.
"Look, Mrs. Pearson, Kim didn't know she was pregnant. Usually when people become pregnant they grow a belly don't they?" I waited for Mrs. Pearson to nod so that I could continue. "Kim never showed signs of being pregnant and she says she's never slept with anybody. I believe her because I've never slept with anyone either and right now, it looks like he's mine."
I waited for Mrs. Pearson to digest the information. She left with the other women and spoke with them in hushed voices.
I sat down next to Kim and waited for her to look at me. When she did, her eyes told me that she was beyond mad and that if I didn't get out of the way soon enough, I would become the next best thing to a girl who wanted to punch a dummy.

A/N: I bet none of you expected that, did ya?
The Interesting Things Happen At School series will be a series of weird events that aren't connected to each other and happen during school. This stories are based off of daydreams I've had about me and my crush, but won't be exactly like I describe them to be.
Please stick around and review. Tell me your ideas on who the man was, how Kim got pregnant and how Jack is involved in all of this.
Sorry if this was a bit bizarre and OOC, but in that case please tell me so.
My review goal is 15.
I, emeralgreenlove, hereby promise I will update in five to seven days after I post this or earlier if I receive 15 reviews by then; unless I have been harmed, have an extremely bad case of writer's block and/or encountering technical difficulties.
REVIEW!
XOXO,
